Tang Zhongbai lowered his eyes and thought for a long time. He could no longer sit there. He stood up and walked out, saying, "Take me to find Xu Da."

The weather at noon was as hot as a huge furnace above our heads.

When Nanny Jiang saw that he was about to go out, she wanted to stop him, but she moved her lips and held back.

She shouted to Tang Si: "Wait a moment."

He walked back to the kitchen quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was holding a large food box. Tang Si stepped forward to take it, "What is this?"

"Ice jar, I put green bean soup with ice in it. Remember to give it to the young master."

Nanny Jiang sent them away with a worried look on her face, then turned back to the kitchen and started to prepare the food again.

On the second floor of the tavern, Tang Zhongbai and Xu Da sat opposite each other, with a large white porcelain bowl in front of them, filled with mung bean soup with ice.

"How's the matter?" Tang Zhongbai picked up the bowl and took a sip, then put the bowl down and asked.

"Don't worry, Xu sent me a message a long time ago, and all the follow-up matters have been prepared. As long as we find a good excuse, the people will not be able to make trouble."

"Okay. What about those weak ones in the north of the city? Are you sure it is...?" Without getting a positive response from him, he didn't dare to say the word plague easily.

Xu Da shook his head. He picked up the bowl and drank it all. He wanted to have another bowl, but Tang Zhongbai held his hand. Xu Da saw deep inquiry in his eyes. He sighed and said, "The old man felt sick and vomited, and the child had a fever and cough. I prescribed medicine for them early in the morning. Brother Yin is now guarding the yard to observe whether the medicine is effective. We have to wait until tomorrow morning to make a judgment at the earliest. If not..."

"You are a miracle doctor, but the medicine you prescribed has no effect. What should the people do?" Tang Zhongbai's expression became heavy. What he feared really came true.

"Don't make a decision yet, everything is still unknown. Maybe, it's not the case." Although Xu Da comforted him, he was also worried. With his medical skills, the symptoms in front of him were basically correct.

"Thank you, Brother Xu. I still have to go to Lu Village. I am really worried about Mu Xia being there."

The villagers of Lu Village were not informed of the poisonous insects. The villagers thought it was just a common illness caused by the hot weather and lack of food. They went to Chaoguan every day to get a bowl of porridge to sustain their livelihood. They also hoped that when the weather got cooler, their health would improve.

All the poisonous insects in Tianji Chaoguan were destroyed. Tang Zhongbai was not worried that they would tamper with the porridge. Now he was just waiting to collect their bodies after they fell ill and died.

Although it was cruel, he was helpless and had no way to do anything.

There was the sound of someone running outside the window, the sound was urgent and fast, going straight to the second floor.

Xu Da shook his head helplessly, "This kid has become more and more unruly since he followed his adopted sister."

Before he finished speaking, Fuzi's surprised voice was heard, "Master, Master, Tang Juecao, they are saved, they are saved..."

Fuzi appeared at the door, breathing heavily, his face flushed, beads of sweat running down his cheeks, and his thin clothes sticking to his body as if he had just been fished out of the water. Although he looked so embarrassed, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Tang Zhongbai asked curiously, "Who do you think can be saved?"

Fuzi took the handkerchief handed over by Xu Da, wiped it roughly, stood in front of the wooden fan and blew it, without answering Tang Zhongbai's question. After his eyes drifted to the iced mung bean soup in front of Tang Zhongbai, he stared at the ice jar on the table without blinking.

Xu Da looked at his useless appearance, pretended to be angry, and scolded him: "Drink some tea first, you just ran vigorously, you can't drink cold tea, don't you want to live?"

Fuzi smiled awkwardly, took the tea bowl from his hand and drank it all, then saw the two men looking at him and waiting for his reply.

Then he said, “Sister Jiang has found a way to save the villagers of Lu Village.”

"What? How did she find it?" The two of them sat up from their seats in shock at the same time, staring at him eagerly, simply unable to believe that what he said was true.

That was the most powerful poisonous insect in southern Xinjiang that no one could cure. How could she, who knew nothing about medicine, cure it?

Fuzi looked at their incredulous expressions, smiled smugly, sat on the couch, and added iced mung bean water to the tea bowl.

Tang Zhongbai pushed the ice mirror in front of him and said excitedly, "I'll give it all to you. Tell me quickly."

It turned out that Jiang Muxia accidentally knocked over a small jar on the stove shelf while cooking last night, and several green-black fruit-like things in the jar fell into the porridge. She was going to fish them out and throw them away, but when she fished out the first one, she was attracted by its refreshing and fragrant smell.

Jiang Muxia ran over and asked her second uncle what it was. Second uncle Lu looked at it for a long time, and it was the boy in the family who recognized it and told her that it was something Lu Xinning brought back from the county during the New Year and said it was a spice.

When Jiang Muxia heard that it was the spice, she felt relieved and threw it back into the porridge and continued cooking.

Everyone was fine in the first half of the night, but in the second half, six people suffered from unbearable stomach pains and took turns running to the toilet.

Everyone just thought that he had eaten something unclean, and he felt better after having diarrhea three or four times.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, when Jiang Muxia saw her second uncle again, she found that his complexion had improved a little. The dark aura on his face had faded a lot, and he had more strength.

Fuzi didn't believe it, so he pulled the two children aside to ask.

They also said that they felt stronger and didn't feel like vomiting like they did in the past two days.

The same changes in the family of four made Jiang Muxia fall into thought. She had been cooking all the meals at home these days. The only difference was the accident that happened last night.

She thought that everyone had diarrhea last night, so she ran to the bathroom to take a look, and sure enough, she found something unusual.

There were clusters of white bugs more than half a foot long in the pit toilet, which made her feel sick. Jiang Muxia quickly asked Fuzi to bury them with the ashes. She then shoveled the fire forward and threw thick hay on it, burning the bugs into ashes before she stopped.

Jiang Muxia asked Fuzi to take the dried fruit and rush to the county town to ask Xu Da what the effect of this fruit was and whether it could cure the poisonous insect.

Fuzi took out a fruit wrapped tightly in a handkerchief from her bosom. Xu Da took it with trembling hands, put the handkerchief on the table, slowly untied the knot, and opened it layer by layer. A thumb-sized, blue-black dried fruit appeared in front of him.

Xu Da took it in his hand, looked at it in the sunlight, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, and sometimes lost in thought.

Fuzi sat in front of the couch, drinking ice mung bean water and eating snacks, feeling extremely comfortable.

Tang Zhongbai looked at Xu Da's expression, with all kinds of questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts.

This small fruit is like a god coming down to earth to help. He needs to be given some time to figure out what kind of fruit it is.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing that this ordinary little fruit can be so useful. God really wants us to be saved. Brother Tang, the villagers are really saved."

Xu Da's eyes sparkled and he spoke with great excitement.
