Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 358 Seeking Medical Treatment and Controlling the Epidemic

Xiao Ling sought medical help and medicine everywhere, looking for ways to treat the epidemic.

While Su Jinxiu was fully engaged in organizing the anti-epidemic efforts, Xiao Ling also embarked on a difficult journey to find medical treatment. He knew that only by finding an effective treatment could the spread of the epidemic be fundamentally curbed and the people of the Marquis's territory saved.

Xiao Ling, accompanied by a group of trusted confidants, traveled day and night to various places.

"No matter how difficult it is, we must find renowned doctors and effective medicines to treat the epidemic." Xiao Ling's eyes were firm.

They first visited several renowned doctors.

"Please, please save the people of our Marquis's territory," Xiao Ling pleaded earnestly.

However, even some renowned healers were helpless against this rampant epidemic.

"This epidemic is too dangerous, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Some imposed harsh conditions, putting Xiao Ling in a dilemma.

"I'm willing to take action, but the Marquis's mansion will have to pay a huge price."

Xiao Ling did not give up and continued to inquire everywhere, searching for folk remedies and secret prescriptions.

In a remote mountain village, they heard that a hermit might have a solution. Xiao Ling rushed there full of hope, only to find that the hermit had already traveled far away and his whereabouts were unknown.

"What should we do?" Xiao Ling was extremely anxious.

In the process of seeking medical treatment, Xiao Ling also encountered various dangers.

On one occasion, they encountered a group of robbers on the road who attempted to rob them of their belongings.

"Hand over all your valuables, or you won't leave here alive!"

Xiao Ling and his confidants fought hard and managed to escape.

On another occasion, they stumbled into a swamp and nearly found themselves in dire straits.

"Be careful, don't move!"

The situation in the Marquis's territory is becoming increasingly critical, with more and more people falling ill every day, and the shadow of death looming over everyone.

"My lord, please come back quickly! We can't hold out any longer!"

Xiao Ling was under tremendous pressure, but he still did not give up.

Finally, by chance, Xiao Ling obtained an ancient medical book that recorded a prescription that might be effective against the epidemic.

"This may be the last hope."

However, obtaining all the medicinal materials listed in the prescription is no easy task, as some of the precious materials are extremely rare.

Xiao Ling embarked on another arduous journey to find medicinal herbs.

He offered a hefty reward, hoping to find the necessary medicinal herbs as soon as possible.

However, some unscrupulous people saw an opportunity and deliberately provided false clues to defraud the bounty.

"My lord, we've been fooled again. There's no such herb at all."

Thanks to their efforts, the epidemic has been effectively controlled.

Thanks to Xiao Ling's tireless efforts in seeking medical treatment and Su Jinxiu's methodical organization of the anti-epidemic efforts, the epidemic in the Hou Mansion's territory finally took a turn for the better and was gradually brought under effective control.

The ancient medical books and rare medicinal herbs that Xiao Ling brought back, after being studied and tested by many doctors, finally led to the formulation of effective prescriptions. Those patients who were initially on the verge of death began to see their conditions slowly improve after taking the new medicine.

"It's working! It's working!" Excited shouts echoed from the clinic.

Su Jinxiu further strengthened the enforcement of quarantine measures to ensure that the epidemic would not spread again. She arranged for people to carry out strict disinfection in various areas, provided sufficient living supplies for the people, and stabilized public sentiment.

"Everyone, just hang in there! Victory is just around the corner!" Su Jinxiu's voice was full of strength.

However, controlling the epidemic has not been smooth sailing.

Although most patients' conditions improved, some stubborn cases still posed a challenge for doctors.

"Why are these people's symptoms not improving?" The doctors frowned and fell into deep thought.

Moreover, the prolonged pandemic has severely damaged the economy of the Houfu territory, and the lives of the people remain difficult.

"We've run out of food at home, how are we going to survive?" some people sighed.

Worse still, prejudice and fear of the Marquis's territory in the surrounding areas have not been eliminated, trade remains stagnant, and the shortage of resources in the Marquis's territory remains severe.

"Have they really brought their outbreak under control? Let's observe them further." People from other regions were filled with doubt.

Some discordant voices also emerged within the Marquis's residence.

"The Marquis's Mansion has invested too many resources in fighting the epidemic. How long can the Marquis's Mansion hold on like this?"

Faced with these new problems and challenges, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu did not slack off in the slightest.

They convened a meeting of doctors to discuss difficult cases and jointly explore treatment plans.

"Let's brainstorm and find a solution."

In order to revive the economy, Xiao Ling introduced a series of support policies to encourage people to resume production activities.

"As long as everyone works together, the Marquis's territory will surely be able to regain its prosperity."

Su Jinxiu actively communicated with leaders in surrounding areas, showcasing the results of epidemic control and striving to resume trade.

"Please trust us, the Marquis's territory is safe."

Thanks to their tireless efforts, the stubborn cases gradually recovered, the people began to resume farming and working, and the surrounding areas gradually lifted the blockade on the Houfu territory.

But just when everything was going well, a new crisis quietly descended.

"It's terrible, Lady Marquis! More people are showing symptoms similar to the plague!"
