Chapter 198: Sneak Attack
However, this effectively eased the conflict between Qin and Zhao, and Zhao Yuanxi had no intention of clarifying it.
It doesn't matter whether her identity is true or false. As long as the people of Zhao believe that the relationship between Qin and Zhao is not completely hostile, the two countries can integrate faster.
After resolving the food and medicine crisis, people's lives in Handan City gradually returned to normal. Fortunately, the weather was still relatively cold and no large-scale epidemic broke out.
Zhao Yuanxi not only told the Zhao army returning home not to drink raw water, but also all the porridge stalls in Handan City provided boiled hot water throughout the day, and required them not to drink raw water at will. If they were found, they would be warned, and after three warnings, one day's food would be deducted.
The people of Handan did not understand why this had to be done. They were used to drinking water directly from the well. When this rule was promulgated, it naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people. But apart from the fact that drinking water was a little more troublesome, the Qin people did not deliberately make things difficult for them. In addition, the food would really be withheld, so gradually they accepted this rule.
It was not until someone secretly drank the water from the well and claimed that it was just the Qin people's nonsense that misled the people that within two days, the man suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and almost died that everyone began to feel a little scared.
Many people know that there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster, but they are not clear about the origin of these epidemics. They only know that epidemics will occur when there are too many corpses. For this reason, they usually bury the excavated corpses as soon as possible. They never thought that the problem is not only with the corpses, but even the water may have problems.
Zhao Yuanxi led people to inspect the situation in Handan City on a daily basis.
She saw Saitama and many of her sisters wandering around a pile of injured people. Those women might not be able to treat injuries, but they were very good at taking care of the injured.
It reminded her of the Miss Nightingales.
Zhao Yuanxi had mixed feelings. There were still too few female doctors in this world. Handan City could be called the richest city in the world, and life was so affluent. However, even though half of the people in the city were women, there was still not a single female doctor to be found.
Women bear the heavy responsibility of bearing children. Every childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell. More than half of the causes of death among women in ancient times were due to childbirth.
Zhao Yuanxi felt that the casualties could be reduced, just like this time, because Saitama brought these people to help, the female injured had more opportunities for treatment.
When Saitama saw Queen Mother Zhao coming, he wiped his hands and bowed to her awkwardly.
"I seem to have disturbed you." Zhao Yuanxi felt a little embarrassed. He just wanted to come over and take a look.
Saitama quickly shook his head, "No, the injured here have been bandaged. After we pack up our things, we will go to the next place."
"Thank you for your hard work! Did you find these people?" Zhao Yuanxi asked with a smile.
"There are too many injured people. I'm a little overwhelmed. Don't worry, Queen Mother. They are only here to help and won't cause any more trouble."
"That's not what I meant. You taught them well."
At least I learned the bandaging technique.
Saitama lowered his head and said, "I also study medicine with Liao Jun."
The medical skills that she was proud of were not of much use here. On the contrary, the treatments given to the soldiers by the military doctors were very effective.
"Doctor Liao?" Zhao Yuanxi then noticed that there was an old military doctor carrying a large medicine box and treating someone. His technique was obviously more experienced than Saitama's, but the more she watched, the more familiar she felt.
His treatment method was somewhat similar to Yu Jiao's, and she seemed to have seen that big medicine box somewhere.
Zhao Yuanxi suddenly remembered the child he had seen in Li Mu's mansion. He was carrying the same medicine box. It was not surprising that doctors had their own medicine boxes. Their medicine boxes usually had their own markings on them.
These two, one big and one small, still feel like a family.
Li Mu did have two good helpers, but she didn't know if he was willing to lend them to her.
"He looks like a reliable person."
She turned to look at Saitama again, "What are your plans after these wounds are healed?"
"I?"
Saitama looked confused. Her father died in the accident. After things were settled, she would probably go to her uncles and ask them to take her in.
Saitama informed Queen Mother Zhao of her plan, "My uncles are in Korea now. I might go and join them in the future."
Zhao Yuanxi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. There was no way he was going there!
Although she did not lead troops to fight, she could guess Ying Zheng's plan. After conquering Zhao, the next one would be Han. It was estimated that as soon as Saitama ran to Han, the Qin army would follow.
"If you're willing, you can stay with me. If you like practicing medicine, I can find a teacher for you. If you just want to live a stable life, I can also find a good place for you. Although you won't be rich, as long as you are willing to work, you can have enough food and clothing."
Zhao Yuanxi saw that she looked hesitant and said, "Don't be so hasty to answer me. Think about it carefully."
It is rare to meet a woman who is both literate and knowledgeable in medicine. Zhao Yuanxi is really surprised.
Saitama bit his lower lip lightly, "Can I really learn medicine from someone? Then who can I treat?"
Zhao Yuanxi smiled. "You're studying medicine now, and you're treating these women. Is anyone saying you can't do it? Maybe you can save even more people in the future."
Saitama's eyes lit up, and he said nervously, "But since ancient times, there have been no women practicing medicine."
"Then you will be the first person since ancient times."
"Can I, can I?" Saitama's voice trembled a little.
“It depends on how much you can learn and how much you can do.”
"I'll try my best!" Her voice suddenly rose, as if she had realized something, and her face instantly turned red as if blood was about to drip out.
Zhao Yuanxi looked at her adorable appearance and said mischievously, "Okay, then I'll remember what you said."
"Um."
If you don't listen carefully, you probably won't be able to hear what she is saying.
Zhao Yuanxi laughed, "Then you guys continue to be busy. I will make other arrangements for you when this is over."
Zhao Yuanxi was in a good mood as he had found another talent.
When she returns to Qin, she can borrow the Qin Imperial Medical Bureau to train a group of outstanding female doctors. As for whether Ying Zheng would agree, she has never considered the possibility of disagreement.
She was thinking about how to plan the arrangement of the female doctor when an arrow flew towards her. Jang Geum immediately threw her to the ground. The arrow was cut off by another arrow and fell to the ground.
"Queen Dowager, are you okay?" Jang Geum made sure that there were no hidden arrows flying around before she helped the Queen Dowager up and checked if she was injured.
The guards around her drew their swords and surrounded her. Another group of people ran to catch the attacker. There were some pedestrians on the side of the road, who were frightened and ran away when they saw this.
Zhao Yuanxi resisted the urge to rub his butt and shook his head, "I'm fine, are you okay?"
