Three days later, Madam Wu's condition stabilized. Although she was still unconscious, her life was at least secured.
Bai Ruozhu instructed Wu Ke to have his men burn some drug powder and ash around the escort agency, especially in dark corners, to prevent any lingering poisonous insects. After three days of endeavor, they burned out seven or eight poisonous insects, which were promptly incinerated upon discovery.
Bai Ruozhu accompanied Madam Wu at the County Government Office for three days. The county magistrate carefully attended to them, not just providing lodging but also meals, each meal being lavish with fish and meat; Bai Ruozhu and her companions took it as a time to relax.
Finally, when Furball awoke, Bai Ruozhu communicated with him and instructed someone to summon Wu Ke, saying, "It's time to search for that extremity yin object at your escort agency to prevent any future influence on your wife."
