Chapter 287: Chapter 286: The Spread of Plague (3)_1

Upon returning home, she brewed the medication for controlling the epidemic and provided it free to the surrounding villagers.

She then extensively spread quicklime for disinfection, burning all clothes and tools that had come into contact with the source of the disease.

Fortunately, Su Pan’er took thorough isolation measures from the start, arranging for the five members of the Xiao family to stay separately in the firewood room, successfully eliminating any chance of spreading the infection to others.

The Xiao family did not object to Su Pan’er’s arrangements whatsoever.

Apart from Xiao Min, the little girl who had shown abnormal symptoms and was discovered by Su Pan’er at the very beginning, the remaining four members of the Xiao family were consuming the epidemic-prevention decoction prepared by Su Pan’er on a daily basis and did not present any symptoms of infection for the time being.

In the meantime, Xiao Min’s high fever did not subside, her body scorching hot, which terrified the Xiao family.

To enhance the isolation of the infection source, Su Pan’er placed Xiao Min alone in a temporary shelter behind the house.

Xiao Min’s mother, Mrs. Xiao-Liu, insisted on staying with her daughter, regardless of how much Su Pan’er tried to persuade her to leave.

She had no choice but to bring the epidemic-prevention decoction to her four times a day.

Indeed, a mother’s love is so profound!

One day after delivering the decoction and seeing Mrs. Xiao-Liu committed to caring for her daughter without any regrets, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but feel deeply touched.

Just at that moment, she heard a flurry of hurried and disordered footsteps outside the courtyard.

Then rowdy shouts followed one after another, getting louder and louder.

A sense of unease seizing her, she quickly left the shelter and headed for the front courtyard, her brow furrowed as she took in the scene.

At that moment, several government employees who were supposed to help but truly aimed to control the spread of the epidemic were loudly reprimanding a crowd.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? What do you intend to do with those poles in your hands? Have you all gone mad?"

"Back off, all of you! Anyone else who dares to take a step forward will be charged with disturbing the public peace!"

But the appearance of the government employees only seemed to agitate the crowd further!

"What do you mean, have we gone mad? The Qin Family has placed foreigners infected with smallpox here; what is she trying to do? Is she trying to have us all accompanying them to death? My fellow villagers, let’s charge! Drive out these foreigners who are infected with the epidemic!"

"They are right behind this house. Everyone, move! Drive all these foreigners out, out of our Luoyan Village!"

"Everyone, charge! Move quickly..."

The government employees and bailiffs tried to intervene, but they couldn’t handle the crowd’s overwhelming strength and number.

Soon enough, the human wall formed by the government employees and bailiffs was broken by the villagers, and with a loud bang, the door of the Qin household was kicked open from the outside!

The villagers surged in.

However, the scene that met their eyes left them all stunned.

Sitting in the chairs in the center of the Qin household were two figures: none other than Qin Yi and Su Pan’er.

They sat there, immobile; it seemed as though they didn’t take the mob that had rushed in seriously at all.

The crowd, taking in their unconcerned demeanor, exchanged glances, none daring to make any abrupt movements.

Su Pan’er slowly stood up from her chair.

A swift flash of cold light flickered in her fox eye-shaped eyes as she chuckled softly, "Dear villagers, in the middle of the night, you bear torches and poles, brazenly breaking into my home. What is your intention? Is it burglary? Or perhaps arson and murder?"

"We... "

The crowd fell silent, unable to respond. They pushed each other around, but no one dared to step forward and take the blame.

Just then, a derisive voice sounded from the crowd.

"Su Pan’er, don’t think we are ignorant of your deeds. There are people who have personally witnessed that you are hiding foreigners infected with the epidemic in your home. Are you intentionally trying to kill us all? Tell me, isn’t she with malicious intent?"

As soon as someone took the lead, the crowd instantly erupted with an uproar again, and some even attempted to rush towards the back of the house.

Qin Yi, who had been sitting in the chair, also stood up and swept his gaze over the crowd.

"Who’s talking there? If you have the guts, step out from the crowd and stop whispering!"

The crowd quieted down again, not a word was spoken.

"Oh, so you have the guts to speak, but not admit to it?" Qin Yi sneered.

A figure was suddenly pushed out of the crowd.

In a stupefied state, he seemed not to have fully realized why he was pushed out of the crowd.

Someone really isn’t afraid of dying!

Su Pan’er was amused!

Before that man could react, she swiftly moved, snatching the iron rod from his hands.

Under the gaze of the crowd, she arched an eyebrow and sneered. She lifted that rod and broke it in the middle. The rod immediately bent, turning into a clear U shape.

As if it was not an iron rod at all, but a mere stick.

Scary!

The crowd all gasped in unison!

Su Pan’er didn’t let go, casually bending the rod once again. A good iron rod was directly twisted like fried dough twist, and with a clatter, she casually threw it at the feet of the crowd.

Everyone was dumbfounded, scared they all retreated a few steps, no one dared to speak.

Although they knew this foolish girl had natural godlike strength, how strong she really was, no one knew.

Now, seeing her demonstrate this ability to bend an iron rod into a twisted shape, they couldn’t help but be frightened, fearing she would turn that power on them. Who would dare step forward to court death?

The man who had been pushed forward earlier looked even more alone, standing there shivering.

"Who, who was the bastard who just pushed me from behind? You set me up, come out, you come out!"

He was almost crying from fear!

He made a resolution in his heart, if he knew who set him up, he would never let that person go.

"Go away, get away from me right now! Do you think the bones in your body are harder than that iron rod?"

Su Pan’er stared menacingly.

The man, as if he were pardoned of all sins, didn’t dare to hesitate, turned around and squeezed through the crowd, then ran off as fast as he could.

"You people outside were quite cocky just now, why are you all quiet now? Are you all men? Speak up, keep talking to me! You, you speak up."

Su Pan’er was still fraught with anger, she randomly pointed a finger into the crowd.

The man she pointed at was scared. Immediately, he dropped the torch and hoe in his hands, quickly raising his hands to surrender: "I, I didn’t, I didn’t say anything at all... "

"Waste of space!"

Su Pan’er spat in his direction.

She pointed to the next person: "You speak!"

"I I I don’t...oh my god!"

This man was already scared out of his wits. As soon as he saw Su Pan’er pointing at him, he immediately dropped his torch and ran off.

Su Pan’er’s eyes blazed with even more fury; she was brimming with hostility!

"Anyone with a bit of sense, step forward. Who led the way here? Come out and explain things clearly to me! Or else, huh, breaking into civilian houses..."

There was still no sound.

Even the government employees and bailiffs were shocked by Su Pan’er’s momentum, instinctively retreating several steps.

"Cowards! Good-for-nothings!"

Her abusive words were met with no retort. Instead, people merely lowered their heads, nobody daring to speak.

A young man in the crowd summoned up his courage to say: "We, we came to your house because someone saw that you were hiding a smallpox patient."

"So what if we are? Do you have any objections?"

The young man looked left and right, he swallowed hard and bravely replied: "Because, because smallpox is contagious, thus, these outsiders must be sent away. Otherwise, it will cause death to all of us!"

Having spoken his mind, he seemed to relax a bit, he couldn’t help looking about, only to see that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his head dejectedly again.

It’s like what he said was wrong again.
