Seven days later, at the military camp.

Inside a tent somewhere in the camp, Jiang Tian finally woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she happened to meet the gaze of the woman who was carrying in medicine.

The woman paused for a moment, then gave a friendly smile: "You're awake?"

When Jiang Tian spoke, her voice was incredibly hoarse. She weakly asked, "Where is this?"

The woman laughed and said, "This is the main camp. You've been unconscious for several days. Doctor Chen said that if you didn't wake up today, your life would be in danger. Fortunately, the King of Hell didn't take your life. Look, you've woken up now."

Jiang Tian was a little stunned. She looked at the woman and asked, "Did you save me?"

The woman quickly waved her hand: "No, no, it was the general who saved you!"

"...General?"

"Yes, it was our general who took pity on you and brought you all the way back to the military camp. You really escaped with your life."

The woman sighed.

Jiang Tian was still a little dazed when she heard the woman say, "You rest here first. I'll go and call Doctor Chen. He'll be very happy that you're awake."

Before Jiang Tian could ask any more questions, the woman left.

Less than fifteen minutes later, a handsome man with a smile walked in.

He appeared gentle and refined, with a scholarly air about him.

"You're awake. It seems the medicine I prescribed really worked."

The man called Doctor Chen smiled at her and then instructed, "Extend your hand, I'll take your pulse again."

Jiang Tian did as she was told and extended her hand.

"Yes, the poison has been neutralized. After resting for another ten days to half a month, I'll be fine. I really snatched my life back from the jaws of death."

After taking Jiang Tian's pulse, Doctor Chen nodded, a satisfied look on his face.

"Doctor, did the general order you to treat me?"

Doctor Chen raised an eyebrow: "You don't know? According to them, it was pouring rain that night, and you collapsed under a tree, barely clinging to life. The general was afraid you would die there, so he brought you along. They asked me to examine you, and I knew as soon as I took your pulse that this wasn't an illness, but poisoning."

"You really are lucky to be alive. There are no more than three people in the world who know how to cure this kind of poison, and I am one of them."

As he spoke, Dr. Chen's tone revealed a hint of pride.

For a doctor with such superb medical skills, being able to solve a difficult and complicated disease gives him a much greater sense of accomplishment than treating typhoid fever.

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, general!"

Jiang Tian still looked somewhat weak.

Dr. Chen said to her, "You don't need to thank me. I need to explain your condition to you clearly."

Jiang Tian watched him silently.

"Judging from your beautiful appearance, I can roughly guess that you must be a young lady from a noble family. Although I don't know why you have fallen to this state, as doctors, we should not ask what we shouldn't ask, which is one of the principles of practicing medicine."

"However—this toxin has been accumulating in your body for a long time, and it has already caused some damage. Even if I remove the toxin, the damage has already been done, and the hope of a cure is somewhat slim—"

As he spoke, Dr. Chen hesitated, his eyes filled with pity.

"Doctor, please tell me frankly. I am already incredibly fortunate to have survived. I will never attempt suicide again."

Seeing that Jiang Tian was in a stable mood, Doctor Chen stopped keeping her in suspense.

You may not be able to have children in the future.

After he finished speaking, even the woman next to him showed a look of pity.

Jiang Tian didn't even blink as she continued, "Are there any other effects?"

Her composure surprised Doctor Chen, who then revealed a genuine smile: "Besides that, your body will be a bit weaker, you won't be able to practice martial arts anymore, and you may often feel tired. But it won't affect your lifespan."

"Thank you, doctor." Jiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy on her face.

The woman thought she was just putting on a brave face, and quickly said, "Young lady, if your chest hurts, just say so. We won't laugh at you."

If a woman loses the opportunity to have children, what difference is there between that and being killed? It's a lifelong pain.

Jiang Tian shook her head, forcing a pale smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister. Not being able to have children won't affect me. How many people in this world give birth, risk their lives, and still don't earn their children's respect—"

Seeing that she didn't seem to care, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.

A hint of approval flashed in Doctor Chen's eyes: "Since you're all better now, you can continue to recuperate here. When we leave, we'll settle you in a nearby village and give you some money. Just live well. These are chaotic times, so don't wander around anymore. There won't be another person who will brave the heavy rain to pick you up and treat your injuries."

At this moment, a hint of panic appeared in Jiang Tian's eyes: "Are you leaving?"

"Of course, we're just setting up camp here temporarily for a short rest. We're from the frontier military camp, so naturally we'll head over there. In another ten days or so, after we've rested and regrouped, we'll leave this place."

This is common knowledge, and Dr. Chen did not hide it.

He seemed quite busy. After he finished speaking, he gave the woman a few more instructions, asking her to brew some medicine for Jiang Tian, ​​and then he left.

After he left, Jiang Tian looked uneasy.

The woman quickly comforted her, "Don't think so much. The general is kind-hearted and has always been good to us. If you recover well, it won't be in vain that he found a doctor to treat your poisoning."

Jiang Tian looked at the woman and asked, "Are you also from the military camp?"

“I’m just a cook who helps the camp with cooking. Since you’re a woman, they couldn’t send a man to take care of you, so they sent me here. Once your injuries heal, I’ll have to go back and continue cooking for them.”

Jiang Tian's eyes lit up: "How did you become a cook?"

The woman saw through her thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

“Young lady, you’re so frail, how can you lift an iron spoon? I think you should focus on getting better and recovering from your injuries. Once you’re healed, it wouldn’t be bad to find a reliable and capable person to settle down with here.”

"When I was packing your things, I found a few silver notes, which I've kept for you. This money is enough for you to live comfortably."

The woman had no intention of coveting his money and was even patiently comforting him.

Seeing Jiang Tian's miserable state, the woman had already made up her mind.

This young woman must have run away from home. I wonder what she did wrong, otherwise who would be poisoned and collapsed on the roadside in the rain?

That's a matter of life and death.

Since she couldn't go back to her home, she might as well find a place to settle down and eventually start a family.

Even if she can't have children, just looking at her appearance, I estimate that quite a few men would be willing to marry her.
