Chapter 669 Searching for a Doctor

"Miss Wu, my sister's condition has worsened. I need you to go and fetch a doctor to take a look at her as soon as possible."

In fact, at the beginning, in order not to expose that Xu Yuehuai had contracted the plague, they did not go to see a doctor, but instead prescribed some common plague medicines for Xu Yuehuai to drink.

However, after Xu Yuehuai drank all the medicine, it had no effect whatsoever; in fact, her condition worsened.

Xia Sen stopped thinking about anything else and wanted Miss Wu to go find a doctor as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Miss Wu immediately asked the housekeeper to find a doctor.

"Don't worry too much. Good people are always blessed. Your sister has such a lucky face, she'll definitely be fine."

Miss Wu particularly liked Xu Yuehuai and was reluctant for anything to happen to her.

After hearing this, Xia Sen felt a little more at ease.

"Thank you, Ms. Wu. My sister needs someone to take care of her, so I'll go back and look after her right away."

“Okay, then you can go back first,” Miss Wu said. “But next time, don’t call me Miss Wu. Just call me by my name. My name is actually Wu Xue. You can call me Xue’er.”

"Yes, Miss Xue'er."

Xia Sen waved to Wu Xue and then quickly left, returning to the bamboo house to take care of Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehuai is now completely unconscious and has no consciousness whatsoever.

Xia Sen stayed by Xu Yuehuai's side, feeling extremely anxious as he waited for the doctor to arrive.

When the doctor arrived, Xia Sen quickly came over to greet him and examine Xu Yuehuai.

"Doctor, please, you must save my sister!"

"Okay, I'll check on her first."

The doctor carefully took Xu Yuehuai's pulse and discovered that he had contracted the plague. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground, his face turning pale instantly.

"This girl has contracted the plague! Everyone in the town who has the plague has been arrested by the authorities. How can you harbor her?"

At that moment, Xia Sen quickly said to the doctor, "Doctor, you must be confused. My sister just has a common cold. She doesn't have the plague at all!"

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately realized that they were all from the Wu family, so he pretended to turn a blind eye.

"Alright, alright, this young lady only has a simple cold. However, my abilities are limited, and I have no way to treat her. Let's find someone more skilled."

Seeing that the doctor was so timid and dared not treat people with the plague, Xia Sen realized that keeping him around would be a waste of time, so he waved the doctor away.

After the doctor left, he hurriedly ran out, as if a tiger was chasing him.

Xia Sen looked at Xu Yuehuai, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and gave a bitter smile.

"Sister, what can I do to save you? Your condition is so critical, I'm worried that you could be in danger at any moment."

"My abilities are limited. If I knew medicine, I would definitely treat you well."

"Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this and can't help you. What should I do now?"

Just then, Wu Xue walked to the doorway, heard what he said, and felt a deep admiration for him.

"You don't need to worry too much. I'll find other doctors right now. If one doctor can't cure her, I'll find all the doctors in the town to treat your sister. There will always be one doctor who can cure your sister."

"Thank you so much, Miss Xue'er. Thank you for helping me and my sister so much."

"We're already friends, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

Next, Wu Xue went outside to find many doctors. However, when the doctors arrived and saw that Xu Yuehuai had contracted the plague, they were all terrified. Although they promised not to tell anyone, they had no way to treat Xu Yuehuai.

"Miss Wu, please don't make things difficult for me. I have no way to treat this disease."

"I'm just a lowly orthopedic surgeon; I have no way of curing the plague!"

"I have never been exposed to the plague before and have no idea how to treat this disease. Let's ask someone else to come and treat it."

"I don't want to get infected! Please let me leave!"

Miss Wu looked at all the doctors she had invited and realized that none of them were effective. They all said they had no way to cure the plague, but in reality, they were just afraid of dying.

"If you don't want to treat it, then get out of here! I don't believe there's no one else who can treat the plague besides you."

Upon hearing this, the doctors quickly left the Wu residence.

So, after they left, Wu Xue had someone write a note and hang it outside the Wu residence.

"Whoever can cure a rare and difficult disease, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold."

Ms. Wu offered a high price, hoping to find some barefoot doctors to help treat Xu Yuehuai's plague.

At the beginning, she didn't explain to those people the illness they wanted treated; she only said it was a rare and difficult disease, because she was afraid that if they knew it was a plague, they wouldn't dare to come for treatment.

A large crowd gathered outside the Wu residence, but they dared not tear the note down, as they knew nothing of medicine.

"A reward of ten thousand taels of gold will be given for successfully treating difficult and complicated diseases."

"Ten thousand taels of gold! The Wu family is incredibly generous!"

"It's a pity I don't know any medicine. If I did, I would have gone in immediately to help treat difficult and complicated diseases."

They felt particularly sorry, but seeing that some people with medical skills walked away instead of staying, they felt something was amiss.

"Dr. Li, aren't you exceptionally skilled in medicine? Why don't you think about giving it a try?"

"Dr. Liu, why are you leaving? Don't sigh like that! That's a fortune! If you had cured the Wu family's difficult illnesses, you might have earned that much money!"

"Dr. Xia, why are you walking so fast? Did you know about this?"

However, after hearing what the people around them were saying, the doctors immediately fled as if they were running away, without explaining the reason to them at all. The people around them found this situation even more strange.

"I was wondering why the Wu family hadn't called all the doctors in town. Maybe they'd already exhausted all the doctors they could find, but none of them could treat these difficult cases. That's why they posted notices to find other doctors."
