What are you trying to do?

Lu Qiqi's tone was cold, and her sharp eyes looked at the villagers kneeling on the ground.

"SOS?"

"I think it's coercion!"

Upon hearing Lu Qiqi's words, the villagers kneeling on the ground dared not utter another sound, and could only look down at each other to see what the reactions of the people around them were.

"Doctor, please don't get angry, please don't get angry!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Village Chief Tian quickly stepped forward to explain, "Everyone has been suffering from this disease for a long time, and they've all become afraid after seeing their loved ones die one by one."

Lu Qiqi gently lifted her eyelids and said, "I thought these villagers were all arranged by Village Chief Tian."

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding. The villagers came to you for help on their own initiative. Doctor, you have a compassionate heart, you certainly wouldn't abandon the villagers to their fate, am I right?"

This question is full of traps. First, it praises Lu Qiqi highly, and then adds that it won't ignore the lives of the villagers.

No matter how Lu Qiqi answers, she will fall into Tian Dalong's trap.

Village Chief Tian's smile remained unchanged, but when Lu Qiqi saw his face, she wanted to go up and give him a good beating.

This person is wasting his talent if he doesn't go into acting.

But we can't take action right now.

So Lu Qiqi pretended to be troubled and said, "I can understand the villagers' concerns. We doctors are trapped in Tianlong Village and can't get out. It's no exaggeration to say that I feel the same way."

"However, the government was short of one medicinal herb when we arrived, and there was nothing I could do about it."

Just as Village Chief Tian was about to speak, Lu Qiqi interrupted him.

"Furthermore, if we doctors were truly capable, why would we need to come here? Village Chief Tian, ​​don't you agree?"

The village chief's words were like a punch to cotton, having no effect whatsoever, and instead only made his point clearer.

Let the villagers clearly understand that this is clearly the government's inaction, which has prevented them from eradicating the problem.

Immediately, the villagers kneeling on the ground erupted in uproar.

"The government is just abandoning us!"

"What are we going to do? There are nearly a thousand people in our village, young and old. Are we going to be trapped here and die?!"

"Wasn't this female doctor supposed to have a way to save the villagers? Why couldn't she do it again?"

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what the doctor said? If they had a solution, would they be here in this deadly place?"

"So, shall we still kneel?"

"Stop kneeling! Go back!"

After saying that, the villagers dressed in dark blue clothes got up and left first.

Seeing this, everyone felt that staying there was pointless, so they left one after another.

Tian Xiaoyang knelt on the ground, watching the villagers walk back, and hurriedly tried to stop them from leaving.

But no matter how much he shouted, no villagers paid him any attention and walked away without looking back.

All the villagers left, leaving only Tian Dalong and Tian Xiaoyang.

Just as Tian Xiaoyang was looking troubled, unsure how to explain to Tian Dalong.

Then Tian Dalong said, "The doctors must be tired today, so I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Tian Dalong clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then gave Tian Xiaoyang a wink.

After walking a few steps, Lu Qiqi's voice came from behind, "Village Chief, take care, I won't see you off."

After Village Chief Tian and Tian Xiaoyang walked away, Lu Qiqi closed the courtyard gate and returned to the main room.

As soon as I entered, I saw Li Changlong and Zhou Yi, standing on either side of the door like door gods.

One of them held a wooden stick in his hand, looking tense, as if he was about to rush out and fight someone at any moment.

The two relaxed when they saw that it was Lu Qiqi who entered the room, and put down the wooden sticks they were holding.

Li Changlong peeked into the courtyard and saw that the gate was closed. Only then did he pull Lu Qiqi to sit down at the square table.

Doctor Luo sat calmly drinking tea, while Doctor Huang poured tea for Lu Qiqi with trembling hands.

But his hands were shaking so badly that he spilled tea all over the table.

Lu Qiqi noticed this as well and said softly, "I'll do it."

Doctor Huang then put down the teapot and gestured for him to enter.

"These villagers just left like that?" Li Changlong stared at Lu Qiqi with disbelief, as if afraid that Lu Qiqi had promised the villagers something.

Lu Qiqi poured herself a bowl of tea, took a sip, and then said, "They were just being used by people with ulterior motives and used as pawns. Once things are clarified, everything will be fine."

Dr. Huang wanted to speak several times, but hesitated. Specifically, he tried to pick up the teapot several times, but then withdrew his hand.

Lu Qiqi asked, "Doctor Huang, do you have anything to say?"

After glancing at Dr. Luo beside him, Dr. Huang said, "These past two days, people have been asking us about the recovery of the villagers in Tianxin Village."

We doctors wanted to reassure the villagers, so we told them how Tianxin Village had been cured.

After Dr. Huang finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lu Qiqi, trying to see her expression clearly.

Ultimately, it was their own slip of the tongue that caused this trouble.

Lu Qiqi finished a bowl of tea in three gulps, then put the teacup on the table and said, "They knew it was only a matter of time. Today is just the beginning. They won't give up until they achieve their goal."

"What should we do then?" Li Changlong asked anxiously.

He originally thought that he could go home after curing the people of Tianxin Village, but he didn't expect that there would be one thing after another waiting for them.

"You don't need to do anything. Just do your job well and don't worry about anything else," Doctor Luo said calmly.

Lu Qiqi shared the same idea, adding, "Dr. Luo is right, from now on we shouldn't worry about anything."

Furthermore, we must make our stance clear: aside from the villagers asking about our illness, we will not concern ourselves with anything else.

After listening, Dr. Huang nodded. "I'll go tell them right away. They must keep quiet at this time."

Li Changlong stood up and said, "I'll go and return the chickens and ducks that Village Chief Tian sent over a few days ago. We can't eat that stuff; it'll get stuck in our teeth."

After saying that, Li Changlong grabbed Zhou Yi and rushed out of the main room.

Lu Qiqi did not stop them. Since Village Chief Tian dared to lead the villagers to this point, he must have a foolproof plan.

Otherwise, no village chief would ever lead the villagers to offend or embarrass a doctor who could cure the plague.

You know, doctors are easy to find, but doctors who can cure the plague are few and far between.

Moreover, without the spiritual spring water to enhance the medicinal effects, even if ginseng were brought in, the villagers of Tianxin Village would not recover so quickly.

The officials of Heshun Prefecture would probably not have spent several times the amount of money to buy ginseng.

Lu Qiqi was so fearless because she had something to rely on.

However, faced with the situation of having no food supplies for the war, she couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. If she were to take out another ginseng, she would get into big trouble.

Even if Heshun Prefecture doesn't have her back, they will squeeze every last drop of oil out of her and never let her go.

Therefore, she can only wait and see what happens before making further plans.
