Chapter 122 Volunteers are coming
When she woke up again, Shen Wan found that it was already daybreak and she was lying in the empty house on the roadside.
No, the ground doesn’t seem that soft!
"Awake?" Suddenly, a cold voice came.
When she looked up, she saw Xie Mubai sitting next to her, looking at her gently.
"Um...you were the one who held me when I fainted?" Shen Wan asked tentatively.
She wondered if it was an illusion or if there really was soft ground in this world.
Xie Mubai smiled, his eyes full of pity: "If not me, who else could it be?"
"Are you stupid? You haven't eaten or drunk anything since this morning. Do you really think you're made of iron?"
Shen Wan pouted and said aggrievedly: "It's not my fault. There are so many patients, I can't just ignore them."
Could Xie Mubai say that he missed the time when she sat alone behind the table?
Although it was a bit embarrassing, at least it was relaxing.
"From now on, you should only treat serious cases and leave the rest to others." He thought for a moment and said, "You're doing everything. Not only will you be tired, but it will also make the other doctors look bad."
"Besides, those mild cases are not difficult for them to treat, so you really don't need to do anything."
Shen Wan listened and nodded obediently.
The villain was right, he was just overthinking it.
He only thought about saving people but ignored other people's feelings.
"By the way, I have good news to tell you." Xie Mubai smiled and said.
Shen Wan disagreed: "Stop lying to me, there is no good news now."
"Really!" Seeing that she didn't believe him, Xie Mubai said seriously, "Isn't there a shortage of manpower in the east of the city? An official said he organized some people to come over to help."
When Shen Wan heard this, she immediately became excited: "Really?"
The epidemic is most serious in the east of the city, and there are very few people able to work.
Not to mention the doctors, even the officials who transported grain had to be split into two, and their work was even harder than that of a donkey.
Xie Mubai smiled and nodded: "Look, they are coming!"
Shen Wan looked up suddenly, only to see Hu Dahai walking in with a group of fugitives.
There were Wang Qi, Xie Murong, and even Da Niuniang came.
Their faces were covered with white towels and their hands were wearing half-worn gloves.
They are all fully armed, strong and confident, just like soldiers going to war.
"Why are you here?" Shen Wan saw it and broke out in a cold sweat. "It's very dangerous here."
Hu Dahai laughed and said, "If you're not afraid, why should we be afraid?"
"Besides, we are just helping to distribute things, not to treat patients."
Shen Wan's nose was sore, and she shook her head desperately: "But sister-in-law, you shouldn't have come."
"Now that you're here, what will happen to the child?"
After hearing this, Big Girl's mother smiled gently and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
"The old master has taken the girl to the Liu residence. Doesn't that mean I have some free time now?"
"Besides, we have been vaccinated, so we are not afraid."
After hearing this, Shen Wan could no longer control her inner emotions, and tears could not stop falling.
"Thank you...thank you for believing in me!" she said with red eyes and choked.
When she first got the vaccine, most people in the team didn't believe her.
Only these people in front of her, although they didn't know what the vaccine was, chose to believe her without hesitation.
She was quite touched by this trust.
Seeing her crying so hard, the big girl's mother laughed and said, "Silly girl, what's there to cry about?"
"You gave us our lives, so why shouldn't we trust you?"
Upon hearing this, others also echoed.
Chen Wan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, saying, "Okay, from now on, all the men will be divided into two groups. Brother Hu will lead one group to distribute the food at the intersection to the residents of East Street, and Wang Qi will lead the group to distribute it to the residents of West Street."
"The women were divided into two groups. One group was led by Da Niuniang to make porridge, and the other group was led by Murong to make medicine here."
When everyone heard this, they immediately did as she said.
Seeing her deploying troops here, Boss He rolled his eyes standing outside the door.
He didn't believe in the Harley Quinn's medical skills.
The reason why this girl can give orders here is simply because she has hooked up with the third prince.
He curled his lips and sneered with contempt: "Little girl, do you dare to have a formal competition with me?"
"Of course I dare." Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "It would be boring for just the two of us to compete. It would be better to let all the doctors participate."
"Whoever cures the most patients will receive a prize of 10,000 taels of silver!"
Ten thousand taels?
For poor doctors like them, ten thousand taels is an astronomical figure.
Boss He couldn't help but sneer and said, "The Third Prince will pay for you?"
"Do you think my adoptive father is just a decoration?" Shen Wan raised her eyebrows.
Boss He frowned slightly: "Who is your adoptive father?"
"Master Liu." Shen Wan said coldly.
With the national treasury in hand, she didn't care about a mere 12,000 taels of silver.
But now she is a fugitive and must keep a low profile.
At times like this, she had to use Tutor Liu as her signboard.
When he heard the three words "Master Liu", Boss He's face suddenly changed.
He stared at her intently for a moment, then sneered, "So you're Taifu Liu's adopted daughter. Good, very good!"
Before he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Shen Wan made a face at his back.
"Has he been giving you a hard time?" Xie Mubai suddenly asked coldly.
"That's not true!" she laughed. "I changed his prescription, so naturally he got angry."
"By the way, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"What did you say to the old lady who was infected with smallpox when she left the team?"
Not long after Dengtu Zi's mother left, smallpox broke out in the capital.
She vaguely felt that there might be some inevitable connection between the two.
"You suspect I did it?" Xie Mubai's eyes turned cold.
Shen Wan quickly shook her head: "No, no, no... I'm just curious."
Xie Mubai stared at her and said coldly, "I gave her ten taels of silver and asked her to seek refuge with the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who is her cousin."
"The Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate?" Shen Wan was a little surprised.
Xie Mubai nodded, a thin layer of ice floating in his dark eyes: "He was the one who gave false testimony, saying that my father was colluding with the enemy."
"As you said, the old lady's condition is not serious."
"Given the time, she should have only infected the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate and at most a few of his colleagues, but not so many people."
He did not say that it was he who suggested Dengtu Zi's mother to sell the medicine and deliberately made her sick.
Shen Wan listened and understood immediately.
The Censor of the Censorate was an old stubborn man. Apart from attending court, he rarely interacted with others.
Obviously, the villain did not want to harm the people, he simply wanted to infect all the important officials in the court.
She disapproved of his actions, but she had no right to say anything.
What are you talking about?
After all, most of those court officials deserved to die.
"If something like this happens again, I hope you can tell me." She thought for a moment and said, "Or I can help you."
Xie Mubai shook his head and said coldly: "No."
"There are things I can do that you can't!"
His hands are dirty, so it's better for him to do this shameful thing himself.
Shen Wan naturally understood what he meant and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"It's so strange. What's going on with this smallpox outbreak?" She was puzzled.
If it wasn't done by the villain, nor by the Third Prince, then who else could it be?
While she was daydreaming, an official came over and said, "Miss, many patients have asked for your treatment. They are all waiting outside anxiously."
After hearing this, Shen Wan nodded quickly.
She was about to go out, but was stopped by the villain: "I'll accompany you."
"I'm your man, I have to be with you."
"I don't know how to diagnose illnesses, but I can help dispense medicine."
The disinfection work in the east of the city has been completed, and he now has enough time to accompany his little woman.
Seeing that he was determined to do so, Shen Wan did not refuse.
She thought about it, pushed Xie Mubai and walked out.
As soon as I went out, I saw that the old doctor had already set up the tables and chairs and started treating people.
What was strange was that there was no one in front of him, not even a patient.
“Miss Shen is here!” As soon as they saw Shen Wan, the patients flocked to her.
