Chapter 645: A Half-baked Doctor (12)
Zhou Hu's wounds were almost healed in half a month, and he left Li Shichu's clinic. However, his companions later sent several more people with serious injuries, and Li Shichu accepted them all.
"Doctor Li, please save them. They are all my comrades. They have been treated with medicine after being injured, but for some reason their wounds just won't heal. Instead, they are getting more and more corrupt. They have fever every day and are in a daze. The military doctors say that they are just trying to survive and there is no hope of survival." Zhou Hu said to Li Shichu in a very depressed mood.
"Doctor Li, if you can save me, my brothers can definitely save me too, so please do your best." Zhou Hu looked at his companion whose moans were so low that they could not be heard, and looked at Li Shichu with a pleading face.
Li Shichu examined several wounded people, and found that all of them had wounds that could not resist infection. There are no antibiotics now, so people have to rely on their own immunity to fight off wounds. These people were unable to resist, and ended up like this.
"I'll try my best." Li Shichu said calmly, then he cleaned his hands and began to cut the dead flesh from the patient. Zhou Hu retched and quickly ran out of the operating room.
There were five injured people sent in. It took Li Shichu a whole day to treat them. After that, he asked Zhou Hu to take good care of them.
"Doctor Li, two of the wounded have woken up!" Zhou Hu shouted in surprise. He had been guarding five of his comrades for a whole night. After dawn, he saw two of them open their eyes and weakly asked him where they were.
After Zhou Hu explained it to them, he ran to tell Li Shichu with an excited look on his face.
"Give them water and food as soon as they wake up. They need more nutrition if they are weak." Li Shichu said to Zhou Hu who was making a fuss.
"Okay, I'll go feed them right away!" Zhou Hu ran away happily again.
The five wounded patients who were sentenced to death by military doctors all survived, and they became more energetic day by day. It was obvious that they were gradually getting better. This time, Li Shichu alarmed not only Zhou Hu's companions, but also Zhou Hu's superiors.
So Li Shichu met General Chen in his own small clinic, who wanted to invite her to be a military doctor in the Wei family army.
"Doctor Li, your medical skills can really bring the dead back to life and turn bones into flesh. You can even save people who were almost dying. You are truly a miracle doctor! Doctor Li, with your superb medical skills, it's a pity not to serve in the army. Isn't it a waste of your talent if you just treat minor illnesses like headaches and fevers here? What a waste! Only in the army can you give full play to your medical skills..." General Chen was delighted to see such talent and wished he could poach Li Shichu to work for him immediately.
As a general like him who often goes to the battlefield and has his head tied to his belt, who wouldn't want to have a skilled doctor with him? So he was determined to get Li Shichu.
But Li Shichu was not so great as to be a military doctor for the Wei family army, so she refused directly: "I have no intention of joining the army, I just want to be an ordinary little doctor, General Chen, you think too highly of me."
General Chen said anxiously, "Doctor Li, you are too modest. How can you be an ordinary doctor if you can snatch people from the hands of the King of Hell? You don't want to be a military doctor. Are you worried that the treatment of military doctors is not good? Don't worry about that. The treatment in our Wei family army is very good. There won't be other messy things. If you are willing to marry into the army, you don't have to worry about your daily life. I can send people to take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. You don't need to worry about medicine and the like. You only need to treat the soldiers' injuries."
Li Shichu refused completely: "I like freedom by nature and don't like being constrained. If I become a military doctor, I will have to be controlled by others, which I cannot accept. So I would rather open a small clinic and live freely. I hope General Chen, you will not force me."
General Chen was very disappointed, but he still insisted: "You will be free even if you go to the Wei Family Army. No one will dare to force you..."
He stopped talking when he saw the half-smile on Li Shichu's face. Li Shichu said sarcastically, "General Chen, you don't have to say these things to me. You and I both know that if I really join the Wei Family Army, I will be doomed to be helpless. It is definitely not up to me to decide who to save and who not to save, so you don't have to say that to frame me."
General Chen felt ashamed by what she said, his old face turned red, and he sighed, "I am forcing you. But Doctor Li, if you change your mind in the future, come and find me."
Li Shichu said firmly: "That day will never come."
Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "By the way, I heard that your master is broad-minded and upright. I'm sure he won't retaliate against me just because I didn't serve him, right?"
"Of course not! My lord is not such a villain!" General Chen immediately retorted, and then said to Li Shichu solemnly, "It's a pity that you can't serve our Wei family army, but our lord doesn't have the vicious idea of destroying himself if he can't get it. You don't need to worry about this at all."
"That's good." Li Shichu said with a smile, hoping that Wei Qiaoyuan could live up to his reputation and be a gentleman who could tolerate others.
General Chen failed to recruit Li Shichu and went back dejected, but he was thick-skinned and sent all the wounded patients that his military doctors could not cure to Li Shichu's small clinic.
Li Shichu did not refuse. After all, they were all injured people who came to seek help. In her eyes, ordinary people and soldiers were the same.
General Chen's deputy general was very dissatisfied with Li Shichu for his ignorance of refusing the general's personal invitation. He even asked General Chen: "General, this doctor Li is too arrogant. You have personally invited him, but he is still so tactless. He is really shameless..."
General Chen shook his head and said, "Old Wang, Doctor Li is not an ordinary doctor. He is a miracle doctor. Talented people are naturally proud. It is normal that he does not want to be a military doctor in our army. After all, being a military doctor means being disciplined. How can it be compared to being a respected doctor outside?"
"I think he is just seeking fame and reputation, and he looks down on our Wei family army!" The deputy general said indignantly, "No matter how good his medical skills are, he is more than just a doctor. Only our lord emphasizes benevolence and respect, and will let those who don't know the tact make their own choices. If it is someone else with soldiers, if he takes a fancy to someone, he will directly kidnap him and make him work for him. If he doesn't work for him, let him die. Let's see how many of them can be stubborn. I think we are giving them too much face..."
"Shut up!" General Chen glared at his deputy general and said unhappily, "The reason why talents are talents is that their minds are not comparable to ordinary people. Ordinary people may succumb to oppression and serve their masters obediently; but those who are arrogant and proud of their talents will not fall for it. They will only lie in wait and then take the opportunity to retaliate fiercely, so that others will lose more than they gain..."
