Huangfu Jingchen glanced at Xia Wenjin. He was not a doctor, and in this regard, he definitely couldn't explain things as clearly as Xia Wenjin could.
Xia Wenjin cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "Mayor, I am a doctor. Passing through your town, I discovered some strange symptoms. After falling ill, patients cough up blood, grow weak, and quickly become bedridden. Some who fell ill early have already passed away. There have been particularly many cases of this illness in the past few days. The town has only one clinic, operated by Doctor Zhang, and only he has somewhat decent medical skills. I urge the mayor to take this seriously!"
The mayor cast him a glance, eyes expressing disbelief, took a sip of tea, and arrogantly said: "What do you two outsiders know? You're making a fuss over nothing at such a young age. Our town experiences miasma poisoning every year; it's not something unusual. It's only you outsiders who don't know the situation and make such a fuss about it!"
