Chapter 647: A Half-baked Doctor (14)

Li Shichu refused righteously: "No, I have been chaste for so long just for my beloved fiancée, I can't make an exception for your daughter."

No matter how the visitor begged Li Shichu to accept his daughter, Li Shichu refused to agree.

She is not a real man, why does she need a beautiful woman to accompany her? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Whenever someone came forward to send her a woman, Li Shichu couldn't help but sigh that it was a wise decision for him to have prepared a fiancée so early on.

She can now use the excuse that her fiancée is still young and not suitable for marriage as an excuse to delay the marriage for a few years. When someone brings it up again a few years later, she will say that her fiancée disappeared due to the war and she does not want to betray her and marry someone else, so she wants to wait for her... This way she can delay the marriage for a few more years and gain a good reputation for being deeply in love with her fiancée. It really is killing two birds with one stone!

Maybe it was because he had been rejected so many times. Everyone knew that Li Shichu was a good man who kept himself clean and was waiting for his fiancée wholeheartedly. Moreover, since the takeover of Funing City by Wei's army, life was not as difficult as before, so everyone was not just focusing on Li Shichu.

Although Li Shichu did not join the Wei Family Army as a military doctor, he became a non-staff member of the Wei Family Army. If someone in the Wei Family Army was seriously injured and the military doctors could not treat him, they would be carried to Li Shichu for treatment.

As long as Li Shichu took over the case, no matter how serious the injury was or how slim the hope of survival was, she could save the patient in the end, so her reputation as a miracle doctor became more true.

Busy times always pass quickly. When Li Shichu finally had some free time, he heard that Wei Qiaoyuan, the leader of the Wei family army, had come to Funing City.

Wei Qiaoyuan is the protagonist of this world. He was born into a wealthy peasant family of gentry. He has been resourceful and ambitious since childhood. When he grew up, he encountered a situation of corruption in the court and chaos in the world. So, with great ambitions, he immediately began to prepare to fight for the world.

Because his family was a wealthy peasant landlord with a small fortune, it was very easy for him to build his own power. Compared with the rebel generals in other regions who were poor peasants or bandits, he had a huge advantage.

In addition, he was the son of destiny and had good fortune, so it was expected that Funing City would become his territory.

Li Shichu did not have a bad impression of this male protagonist. After all, compared with the male protagonists in other worlds who did not live up to their reputation, Wei Qiaoyuan was a man of great talent, integrity and generosity. He was an excellent founding father of a country. Moreover, from the fact that he took over Funing City, the lives of the people in Funing City were much better than when they were governed by imperial officials before. This showed that he was a person who valued the people.

In fact, the reason why the original owner became a cannon fodder was because she herself was not well-trained. She did not even inherit 30% of Dr. Li's medical skills, and she became a half-baked doctor without any regard for medical ethics.

The original owner was just like Li Shichu in her previous life. She disguised herself as a man and left Taohua Village to become a traveling doctor. Of course, because her medical skills were not very good, she was just an ordinary doctor and was often scolded as a quack.

Somehow, later on, the original owner met Wei Qiaoyuan who had just been assassinated while traveling. Wei Qiaoyuan's injuries were not serious, but the seriously injured one was a loyal subordinate he valued very much. They were assassinated on the road, and there was no doctor around. The original owner happened to pass by and was a doctor, so he was asked by Wei Qiaoyuan to treat his loyal subordinate.

As mentioned before, the original owner was a half-baked doctor. She could treat common headaches and fevers, but not serious injuries. So it was normal that she killed Wei Qiaoyuan's loyal subordinate by using the wrong medicine. Although the subordinate's injury was serious, if he had met a normal doctor and used the right medicine, he might have been saved.

Unfortunately, they met the original owner who was only half-baked, so the unlucky loyal subordinates died. When Wei Qiaoyuan's own doctor arrived and learned about the original owner's treatment plan, he realized that the original owner had killed the man.

Wei Qiaoyuan was furious and hated the original owner for not learning the skills well enough and causing the death of his most capable subordinate, so he killed her.

In fact, if the original owner had honestly said that she was not well-trained and was afraid that she could not cure such a serious injury, Wei Qiaoyuan would not have been angry with her. But she did not do so. Instead, she pretended to be knowledgeable and treated the injury recklessly, which had serious consequences.

Especially since her job requires strong professional skills, it is not something that can be fooled around with. If you are not careful, someone may die. So the original owner was killed, and it can only be said that she brought it upon herself.

Li Shichu would not seek revenge on Wei Qiaoyuan indiscriminately just because the original owner died at his hands, so Li Shichu did not care when Wei Qiaoyuan came to Funing City this time.

Li Shichu didn't care about Wei Qiaoyuan, but Wei Qiaoyuan cared about her. Of course, this caring didn't have any other ambiguous meaning. It was just the feeling of a person who loved talents and was excited and interested when he met a talented person and wanted to recruit him for his own use.

"General Chen, is it really impossible to recruit Doctor Li for your own use?" Wei Qiaoyuan asked, "His medical skills are so good. If I had him, I would definitely be able to reduce casualties on the battlefield and save more soldiers. General Chen, why don't you try harder and cater to his needs?"

General Chen shook his head and said, "Doctor Li is a doctor with a very good temper. He is said to be free and willful by nature and does not want to be controlled by others. I have persuaded him many times, but he still disagrees. Alas!"

General Chen was also a person who loved talents. He thought of many ways to recruit talents for his lord. However, Li Shichu was hard-hearted and refused to listen to any advice. General Chen had no choice but to give up.

Wei Qiaoyuan was very curious: "I heard that his medical practice is different from that of ordinary doctors. He would actually cut open people's stomachs and perform surgery, but he could still keep the patients alive, just like a witch doctor. Is that true?"

"It's true. I saw with my own eyes that he opened a soldier's stomach, cut out a piece of festering intestine, and then sewed it up again. Half a month later, the soldier was back to full health. Doctor Li's medical skills are truly miraculous. If my lord can recruit him for his own use, his personal safety will be guaranteed in the future. It can almost be said that he can have two extra lives." General Chen said with emotion.

Wei Qiaoyuan suddenly became more interested in Li Shichu, and said to General Chen with a smile: "Then I will find a time to meet him in person."

"If the lord goes in person, the chances of persuading Doctor Li will definitely be higher." General Chen said happily.

Li Shichu didn't know that Wei Qiaoyuan and General Chen had not given up on her. She reconnected the leg of a hunter who broke his leg while hunting in the mountains, fixed it with a wooden board, and let his family carry him home to recuperate. After all, her small clinic already had several seriously injured patients, and "minor injuries" such as broken legs would not have to stay and take up space after the surgery.
