Chapter 84 -84: I Will Protect Her with My Life
The news of someone catching the plague quickly spread through the ship.
Xiang Ying instinctively felt that the number of people infected with the plague would increase.
Before the situation was under control, those prisoners who were sick might become irritable and hurt others.
Therefore, she thought for a moment and asked Scar Face to notify Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi to be careful with the children.
Seventh Princess found Xiang Ying and handed her a piece of paper.
“Elder sister, this is a list of all the people in the Exile Team that I have been writing down along the way.”
At that time, Xiang Ying was talking to Jie Chen, instructing him to have all his subordinates come over.
Upon hearing this, she turned and saw neat and delicate handwriting on the paper, ten names in a row, with soldiers on the left and prisoners’ names on the right, listed in order.
Xiang Ying couldn’t help but be surprised: “You actually remembered all these people’s names?”
Seventh Princess laughed embarrassedly.
“There wasn’t much for me to do on the journey, so I paid attention. Hearing that elder sister wanted to organize the team to fight against the spread of the disease, I thought maybe this list could be of some help.”
Xiang Ying handed the list to Jie Chen, who glanced over it and pursed his lips in agreement: “It’s almost correct.”
Xiang Ying praised: “Hard work, Seventh Sister, this is exactly what we need.”
Hearing these words, Seventh Princess was clearly very pleased.
“As long as I can help elder sister, then I will go back now.” After she said goodbye, Xiang Ying took another look at the list written by Seventh Princess.
Not only were all the personnel listed, but they were also neatly categorized.
In the column for soldiers on the left, from top to bottom, were their ranks, such as Jie Chen as Military Supervisor, who was listed at the forefront along with the other two Military Supervisors.
At the end were some members of the Fire Head Army.
On the right, the names of the prisoners were arranged from oldest to youngest.
This list helped Xiang Ying quite a bit; if someone became infected later, she could make notes directly on this list.
She would also be able to locate their respective squads immediately.
It has to be said that Seventh Princess’s capability, if put into an apocalypse, would certainly qualify her as a logistics statistician!
Ke and Wei, the two Military Supervisors, went to the second ship and took a portion of the manpower with them.
Xiang Ying gave the list to Jie Chen and asked him to cross out the names of the soldiers who were not on the ship.
After Jie Chen finished, Xiang Ying did a simple count.
Currently, on this ship, including two team leaders, there were a total of forty soldiers.
There were thirty prisoners, with as many as fourteen of them infected.
Xiang Ying divided the soldiers into four teams, ten in each team. Excluding the already infected patients, the remaining prisoners were grouped three to a team to reduce the risk of a widespread outbreak of the plague.
Jie Chen took a large amount of diluted alcohol from Xiang Ying and, along with Scar Face and others, doused every room with what they called “Xiang Ying’s Detoxification Potion.”

According to Xiang Ying’s instructions, they had to do this three times every day, with Scar Face and a few soldiers specifically responsible for it.
Subsequently, Xiang Ying cleared out two of the upper cabins to be reserved as treatment rooms.
With her arrangements, everyone was able to be safely isolated, but obviously, there was not enough space in the cabins.
Xiang Ying originally stayed with the children, but considering that she would be in contact with patients, she worried about inadvertently infecting the children.
Therefore, after making all arrangements with Jie Chen, she went to say goodbye to the children.
Upon hearing that they would not see her for several days, the three little ones and Tao Xue’s eyes immediately turned red.
Xiang Xiuxiu held Xiang Ying’s hand with her tender voice carrying a sobbing tone.
“Mother, Xiuxiu will help you, Xiuxiu can carry buckets, lift patients.”
Xiang Ying smiled and stroked her little face: “Others will naturally do those tasks, Xiuxiu just needs to behave and stay with your two brothers, close to Tao Xue.”
Tao Xue sobbed, “Elder Princess, the plague is so dangerous. I can’t help you much, but I will definitely take care of the three little Highnesses, so you have no worries.”
Qi Fengyi also followed up, saying, “I will protect them too.”
Xiang Ying gave them both a look of approval.
Considering the three children were too young, Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi could stay together in the same cabin.
“Someone will deliver clean water every day,” Xiang Ying instructed before turning to see Xiang Yuanshuo’s dark eyes staring straight at her.
His little mouth was pursed stubbornly, as if he had something to say.
Xiang Ying curiously asked, “Yuanshuo, don’t you have anything to say to your mother?”
Xiang Yuanshuo turned his head away, maintaining silence.
Xiang Yuanlang commented indifferently from the side, “Big Brother is afraid that speaking will implicate you.”
Xiang Ying was taken aback, but then she hugged Xiang Yuanshuo’s soft little body in her arms and patted his back.
“Yuanshuo, you are the elder brother; you must take good care of everyone.”
As she spoke, Xiang Ying lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, “Under the bed, I’ve left you two big bags of dried meat. If you’re hungry, take them out to eat.”
Even though food would be delivered daily, Xiang Ying wanted to make sure the children were fully prepared.
Jie Chen walked to the door at this moment, glancing at the scene of the mother and children saying goodbye inside the cabin, and his eyes darkened slightly.
“There are two sick prisoners on board who have died,” he announced; Tao Xue turned pale at the news.
Xiang Ying immediately stood up to leave, and the always cold and distant Xiang Yuanlang quickly grabbed her hand.
“What will you do? Who will take care of you if you fall ill? The cabins are all full; where have you been sleeping these days?” The little fellow fired off three questions in a row.
To reassure him, Xiang Ying pointed to Jie Chen, “He will take care of me; there’s no need to worry.”
Xiang Yuanlang regarded Jie Chen with eyes full of distrust and suspicion.
As Jie Chen met Xiang Ying’s gaze, he cooperated with a deep voice, “She is the only one on board who knows how to treat the plague. I will protect her with my life.”
Xiang Yuanlang spoke in his childish tone, coldly, “You’d better keep your word. Otherwise, when I grow up, I will seek justice for her.”
“Don’t forget, she’s helping you not out of duty or obligation; she does so because she is a good person.”
Xiang Ying never expected that her usually quiet and reticent second son could say something so thoughtful.
She was touched beyond words!
But the time for her to say goodbye to her children was running short.
Xiang Ying asked them to take care of one another and then left with Jie Chen.
Skinny Monkey locked the door from the outside.
Every cabin had to be controlled like this, only opened for delivering medicine, food, and clean water.
Just as the door closed and Xiang Ying’s departing footsteps were heard, Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi, holding the three children, shed worried tears.
The ship floated on the river, no longer having the danger of Gourd Mouth, but it brought an even more frightening unknown.
The two dead prisoners in the hold had been ordered by Jie Chen to be carried to the deck.
Xiang Ying walked over, still using a stick to lift the white cloth, taking a glance at the two dead.
She recalled them; they were from the household of a high-ranking official at the Imperial Censorate, a mother and daughter.
Xiang Ying silently placed the white cloth back on them and then turned to Jie Chen, “Build a raft on the side of the ship, put the two of them on it, pour kerosene, and burn them.”
This was the safest way, not only to prevent the plague from spreading downstream through the water source but also to reduce the viruses that the bodies might carry.
As soon as Xiang Ying finished speaking, and Jie Chen was about to arrange it, a startled noise came from inside the piles of wooden boxes behind them.
Jie Chen’s eyes grew sharp, “Who’s there?”
Scarface immediately stepped forward and pulled a person out from inside the pile of boxes!
