They walked along the street towards the county government, and everything they saw was quiet and depressed.

When they arrived at the county yamen, several people were causing trouble. They asked the yamen runners excitedly: "Why don't you let us go out of the city? We have important things!"

The yamen runner replied helplessly: "This is to prevent the plague from spreading outside."

They were also helpless, knowing that they were just executing the county magistrate's orders.

But the few people shouted anxiously: "We are not sick at all!"

However, the yamen runners still dare not take it lightly.

"This is all an order from the county magistrate, and we can only follow it."

Several people who reported the news quickly shouted: "The Prime Minister is here!"

When several yamen runners heard this, they immediately saluted respectfully.

Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and asked them to get up.

Xi Yu looked at the troublemakers and said earnestly: "Now is an extraordinary time, I hope everyone can understand."

His eyes were firm and calm.

Seeing that the prime minister said this, those people had to sigh helplessly and turn and leave.

Several yamen runners quickly let Xi Yu enter the county yamen.

Xi Yu walked into the yard and saw the county magistrate Ma Lin standing there with a frown.

At this time, several informants also quickly came to the county magistrate and said respectfully: "The Prime Minister is here."

After hearing the newsman's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Malin's eyes. He hurriedly knelt down and saluted Xi Yu.

Xi Yu quickly reached out and helped Ma Lin up and said gently: "No need to be polite."

Marin led everyone into the room.

Xi Yu sat down on the chair, looked at Ma Lin, and said, "Tell me about the specific situation."

Marin frowned and said anxiously: "The situation is really not optimistic now, and most people are more or less infected with the plague. Xiaguan is so anxious!"

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said firmly: "It is right to close the city gate now, which can prevent the plague from spreading further."

He paused for a moment and continued, "But it is absolutely undesirable to kill someone. We must do a good job of publicity so that everyone will not have any psychological obstacles."

Malin nodded quickly and agreed, and Xi Yu continued to ask: "Have you found out the source?"

Marin shook his head and replied: "It's still unclear. The first man with fever has been set up as a restricted area. Someone is taking care of him, so others cannot get close to him at will."

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and decided to go and see it in person.

Ma Lin was startled when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Absolutely not possible. Prime Minister, you have a noble status and cannot be suspected!"

But Xi Yu shook his head firmly and insisted on going.

His eyes were firm and determined.

Ma Lin looked at Xi Yu's firm expression and said helplessly: "Since that's the case, then I'll accompany you too."

So, several people rode their horses towards the village.

Along the way, the wind was blowing their clothes.

They came to a village and saw that it was particularly deserted.

Due to the emergence of several patients, many people hid at home and dared not come out.

Xi Yu looked at the empty streets and frowned.

"The situation in this village is even worse than I thought."

Marin echoed worriedly: "Yes, sir, we have to find a way to control the epidemic."

In front of Shi Dacheng's house, a yamen runner was guarding there.

When he saw Marin coming in person, he looked surprised on his face.

Ma Lin introduced Xi Yu and Guan Yu to the yamen runners, and the yamen runners quickly saluted.

Xi Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite."

Shi Dacheng's home looks particularly deserted.

Shi Dacheng was lying quietly at home, while his mother was lying in another room.

He is taken care of by another yamen runner.

The yamen runner himself felt a little uncomfortable and his face was pale.

Malin asked Xi Yu and Guan Yu to wait in the yard.

He walked into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Dacheng muttering nonsense, his expression very painful.

At this time, the lights in the house were dim and filled with a strong smell of medicine. The windows were closed tightly, making the air look a little dull.

Marin frowned and asked softly, "Dacheng, how do you feel?"

Shi Dacheng didn't answer and still talked nonsense.

Guan Yu watched Ma Lin walk into the room and asked Xi Yu worriedly.

"Will Marin come out after entering the house and get out later? Isn't it possible that he will be infected?"

Xi Yu sighed, his brows frowned slightly, helplessly.

He could not answer this question, so he had to remain silent.

Ma Lin hurried out of the house, came to Xi Yu, and said anxiously, "Prime Minister, Shi Dacheng has been talking nonsense and can't ask anything."

When Xi Yu heard this, he suddenly remembered the mask.

His eyes lit up and he quickly said to Marin: "Hurry up and make a mask! Just do it as I described it."

He briefly described the appearance of the mask to Marin.

Marin nodded and said that he would contact the person who made clothes to produce this mask.

Xi Yu looked at Ma Lin's departure back and turned to Guan Yu and said, "Let's go around the village."

Xi Yu and Guan Yu wandered back and the moment they stepped into the village, a heavy sense of depression came to their faces.

The whole village was filled with the breath of death, and the silence was frightening.

The streets were empty and the doors were closed, as if they were abandoned ruins.

The air was filled with a strong stench.

Xi Yu and Guan Yu's faces turned pale, and they exchanged horrified eyes with each other.

Guan Yu frowned, stared at the tragic situation in front of him, and whispered to Xi Yu: "Will someone deliberately poisoned this scene?"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Xi Yu's eyes. He nodded gently and replied: "It's entirely possible. But at the moment, the most urgent thing is to solve the problem in front of him first."

After a while, Guan Yu felt extremely depressed and couldn't help but cough.

Seeing this, Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked worried, and said softly: "Guan Yu, the atmosphere here is really depressing, so let's find an empty place as soon as possible."

Guan Yu nodded, his face pale, and he replied softly: "Well, let's follow what the Prime Minister said."

Then, the two came to the wilderness together.

In the wilderness, the wind slowly calmed down Guan Yu's mood, and his cough slowly stopped, and his face gradually returned to normal.

Xi Yu thought to himself that the scenes of dealing with the plague in his previous life kept flashing in his mind.

He couldn't help feeling helpless.

Because he knew very well that in this era and in this place, it was probably unrealistic to use those methods.

A contradictory feeling surged in his heart.

On the one hand, he was full of confidence in his previous life's knowledge.

Those methods did work at the time.

On the other hand, he also knew clearly that the conditions and environment here were very different from those in previous lives, and those methods could not be directly applied.

A trace of confusion and confusion appeared in Xi Yu's eyes. He sighed secretly, and he was deeply entangled.

He understood that in the face of the current dilemma, we need to find a solution suitable for this era and place.

Marin hurried into a clothing store with an anxious look on his face.

He described in detail the appearance of the mask that Xi Yu mentioned to the clothing store owner, and his eyes revealed his desire to solve the plague problem.

The clothing store owner listened carefully, his eyes firm and friendly, nodding slightly to show his understanding.

After listening to Marin's description, the boss immediately agreed. He said generously: "No problem, I will start making it right away. The price will be very low, because now everyone is in trouble, so we should help each other."

When Malin heard this, his face showed an admiration.

He held the boss's hand excitedly and said, "You are such an amazing person. I admire your generosity and kindness."
