Chapter 116: Treating Officers and Soldiers
"I have money! I'll use all my money to pay for the consultation. Please, please hurry up and ask the miracle doctor to come out!"
As they spoke, the officers and soldiers took out all their belongings and threw them into the fence.
However, no one dared to pick up the money bags on them, and everyone avoided them as much as possible.
Chen Fenghe took out a small spray bottle from his sleeve, sprayed the liquor inside on the money bags, and then picked them up one by one.
She is going to save their lives, so it’s not too much to charge her some medical fees.
Although she dared to pick up the trash without disinfecting it, it was too scary, so she had to pretend to do it.
Even so, the people in the town looked at Chen Fenghe in horror.
A miracle doctor is a miracle doctor!
How dare you even touch the wallet of someone infected with the plague!
The village head was stunned for a moment, coughed twice, pointed at Chen Fenghe and said, "This lady Shen is the miracle doctor who can cure the plague. Please ask her for help."
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then stared at the head of the village with disbelief.
"Village head! Do you think we are three-year-old children? How old is this little lady? How can she be a miracle doctor?"
"You're just trying to steal our money by saying you have a miracle healer! You even dare to deceive soldiers! You're courting death!"
The village head was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
They didn't believe it a few days ago, but then they were slapped in the face, didn't they?
"This young lady is a miracle doctor, why would I lie to you!"
Chen Fenghe smiled faintly and said, "If you don't believe me, you can choose not to let me treat you. I don't care."
The officers and soldiers, after hearing this, though still unconvinced, knew they had no other options. It was better than waiting to die, so they all said, "We believe it! Isn't that enough? Please treat us quickly!"
After hearing this, Chen Fenghe said sternly, "How many of you are outside? First, bring over the ten most seriously ill people. Then, retreat beyond the range of a bullet. I'll save them in groups."
Penicillin has not yet been cultivated in large quantities. Although he can use the one in his own space, Chen Fenghe does not want to waste it for irrelevant people.
Moreover, if all the soldiers were allowed in, if one person in the town got infected, the infection would spread to two others, making it difficult to control. So they let people in, starting with the most seriously ill, in batches.
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but start making a fuss!
"Why should we go to the back? We are also very sick! Treat us first!"
"I've already collected the consultation fee, are you still planning to refuse to pay?"
Seeing how dissatisfied these officers and soldiers were, the village head felt a little scared.
Although they are sick and weak now, they may come back to cause trouble for her after they are cured.
He couldn't help but whispered: "Madam Shen, what do you think we should do..."
Chen Fenghe was unmoved and said calmly: "You can continue to quarrel, it doesn't matter if I don't save anyone."
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers shut up reluctantly. However, some of them still had plans to force their way in once the fence was opened!
At this time, the leader of the officers and soldiers came out and said with a bow, "Madam Miracle Doctor, I am the centurion. We are following your orders and will bring over ten of our brothers who are seriously ill and unconscious. I hope you can treat them!"
Chen Fenghe glanced at the centurion, who seemed alright, so she nodded and said, "As long as you do as I say, I promise to do my best to treat you. But if anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos and force their way in, everyone will be in danger!"
The centurion nodded and said, "Don't worry, doctor. As long as I'm here, no bastard can dare to break in without permission!"
Immediately, ten dying soldiers were carried outside the fence.
After Chen Fenghe directed the head of the village and several people in the town to thoroughly disinfect with strong liquor and wood ash, he sent people to cover their bodies and carry the ten people into several vacated rooms in the town. The areas around the houses had been isolated to prevent ordinary townspeople from approaching.
Chen Fenghe immediately gave them pickled mustard juice, and also asked the townspeople who volunteered to help to boil some medicines that would help with recovery, such as cinnamon twigs, peony, ephedra, ginger, etc., and asked the officers and soldiers to drink it.
In less than a day, all ten people woke up and even regained the strength to drink some porridge cooked by the townspeople!
The village head was also afraid that the officers and soldiers outside the town were unaware of the situation and would force their way in when they got impatient, so he went to the fence every day to report the situation to the officers and soldiers. After hearing this, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel encouraged and no longer doubted Shen Fenghe.
The ten people were treated for three or four days, and some of them were able to get up and walk a few steps. Chen Fenghe asked them to take on the nursing work, and asked the townspeople to only be responsible for making medicine and porridge outside the isolation area.
Four days later, Chen Fenghe asked another group of people to be carried in.
This time, because the penicillin that had been cultivated previously had almost been purified, Chen Fenghe let in twenty people at once and used the same medication for treatment.
This cycle continued for just half a month, and more than half of the hundred soldiers who besieged the town had almost recovered!
The third batch of officers and soldiers were sent in by their own men because they were unconscious.
Now, watching his brothers recover day by day, he has great respect for Shen Fenghe!
After the last batch of officers and soldiers entered the town and received proper treatment, the leader suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Shen Fenghe, clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Doctor Shen, you saved my life and the lives of hundreds of my men. From now on, you are my savior and my adopted father! If Doctor Shen is in trouble, I, Han Dayan, will risk my life for him! When I return to Qizhou City, I will report this to the higher-ups and ask the prefect and even the current emperor to commend Doctor Shen!"
Seeing this, the other officers and soldiers also knelt down and said in unison: "Thank you, Doctor Shen, for saving our lives! We are also willing to risk our lives, no matter what!"
Chen Fenghe was really not used to this kind of attitude. She smiled and said, "Don't call me a miracle doctor all the time. Just call me Madam Shen from now on. Since Mr. Han said so, then I just have a humble request."
Han Dayan immediately said, "Doctor Shen... Madam Shen, please speak."
