Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 523 - 522: Flower Town

"Speaking of which..." he looked at Duan Yunfei and the others and asked, "What brings you to Nanfeng Country this ti?"

"Just for fun," Duan Yunfei replied, "Qinglan said she has never been here, so I brought her to have a look around."

Fu Junyan raised an eyebrow, with a half-smile, "I never thought the Young Master, who always vowed never to marry, would mind so much about what a girl says one day."

Duan Yunfei appeared a bit embarrassed, lightly coughed, and said, "All I can say is, man’s plans are no match for heaven’s plans."

Fu Junyan sneered, "At the ti, you spoke so assertively, and in the end, you are stuck at the beauty barrier just like ?"

Duan Yunfei gazed at Shen Qinglan beside him, curled his lips into a smile, and said, "As long as the beauty is her, I’m willing to be stuck forever."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows at him, then lowered her eyes with a smile.

Fu Junyan glanced at the two of them, speaking calmly, "Play as you like, but there’s one place you must not go."

"What place?" Duan Yunfei asked.

"Flower Town." Fu Junyan said, "There’s an epidemic there recently, and it seems quite severe; even the Imperial Physicians are helpless."

"People have died?" Le Zhao asked.

"Yes," Fu Junyan said, "Up to today, hundreds have died, and the epidemic is still out of control. It seems that even an old Imperial Physician has contracted the disease."

Shen Qinglan frowned, "Have they found the source of the disease yet?"

"No!" Fu Junyan shook his head, "I went to inquire earlier, and it appears that so people returned from the mountains, got a high fever, then fell into a coma, and soon died. Their families who cared for them also showed the sa symptoms. The one above has already sent people to Yunye Country to fetch people from the dicine Sect. Based on ti, they should arrive tomorrow."

Shen Qinglan asked quietly, "Didn’t they send soone to investigate in the mountains?"

"They sent people, but..." Fu Junyan said, "All the people are dead. The mountain is so vast, without a specific location, they can’t find it quickly."

An epidemic, such an infectious disease, was terrifying in ancient tis and even in modern tis can still cause anxiety and unease.

"And what about those who haven’t contracted the disease? Are they quarantined?" Shen Qinglan asked again.

Fu Junyan sighed lightly, "They are quarantined now, but it’s too late. Almost a large part of the population in Flower Town has contracted the epidemic."

"What to do then?" Xuan Ying said, "Are we just going to watch the people die?"

Fu Junyan sighed deeply, "If even the people of the dicine Sect can’t do anything, then that’s all that can be done!"

Duan Yunfei frowned, "Were the bodies of those who died from the disease burned?"

"Of course, they were all burned!" Fu Junyan said, "Now, to prevent panic and chaos among the people, the news hasn’t been released."

"General Fu, how many days has the outbreak lasted?" Xuan Ming asked.

"About seven or eight days."

"So many people died in just seven or eight days!" Xuan Ying’s breath caught, "This epidemic is terrifyingly deadly!"

Shen Qinglan frowned, "Why not inform everyone earlier, so prevention asures could be taken?"

"Prevention? With mugwort?" Fu Junyan smiled helplessly, "It’s useless. The epidemic spreads so quickly that there’s no way to stop it imdiately, so they had to keep it hidden first."

Shen Qinglan asked, "For now, are there still any new infections?"

"The number of people contracting the disease has decreased significantly in the past two days, not as severe as a few days ago."

Duan Yunfei nodded upon hearing this, "That’s a good thing, it shows the disease has been initially controlled."

Fu Junyan sighed lightly, "I’m just worried Bingxue will hear about this and get involved."
