Xiao Ling'er slowly pulled out a khaki token from her sleeve and held it before the soldiers. "Excuse me, am I still qualified to command you?"
Several soldiers looked at the token in Xiao Ling'er's hand and were very surprised that the general actually gave the token to her.
They were still a little unconvinced, but they could only bow and say in unison: "I am willing to obey the young lady's orders!"
"What about you?" Xiao Ling'er turned her head and asked the two old doctors beside her.
Sixty-year-old Doctor Wang glared at Xiao Ling'er. "What? You little brat, you still want to command us with a token? It's a pity we're not General Gu's soldiers. You can't give us orders!"
Another doctor, Doctor Xu, who was in his fifties, also responded with a look of surprise: "That's right, we heard that there was an outbreak of plague in the military camp, so we came to help.
Now it seems that we are not needed here. Since the general believes that a little girl like you can control the plague, then we are redundant here."
"Hmph, that's right, Doctor Xu, let's go. I won't help a young girl who knows nothing." Doctor Wang said, flicking his sleeves and left angrily.
"That's right. I don't have the time to waste with you here. I hope General Gu won't regret it." Doctor Xu also walked away, shaking his sleeves.
"You're afraid, aren't you? Afraid that I'll steal your limelight? You think it's embarrassing for you to help a young girl like me, right?"
Xiao Ling'er stood behind them and shouted loudly at their backs.
The two old doctors stopped in their tracks and turned back with sullen faces. Doctor Wang glared at Xiao Ling'er:
"You little brat, why would you talk nonsense? Why would we be afraid that you would steal the spotlight?"
Xiao Ling'er folded her arms, with a faint contemptuous smile on her lips. She looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.
"Oh~ Since the two doctors are not afraid of being upstaged by me, then stay and see if I can control the plague and save the patients who have been infected."
The two old doctors looked at each other, thought for a moment, and as if to prove that they were not afraid of being overshadowed, they actually stayed.
In fact, they stayed to see how this little girl would humiliate herself.
Not to mention these old doctors who have studied the disease all their lives, even Doctor Wang who was with the army was at a loss as to how to deal with the plague, so he started reading books.
Xiao Ling'er's plan succeeded, and she began to assign tasks to everyone without any hesitation:
"You, please prepare an extra-large pot."
"You two, please prepare plenty of firewood and water."
"Doctor Wang, Doctor Xu, please buy the herbs according to the list above."
Although everyone was dissatisfied, they still followed the instructions.
Xiao Ling'er took out the prescription and began to study it. It was really difficult for her, who had no medical skills.
The words on it are really awkward and difficult to understand.
The weather is still a bit hot as autumn is approaching, even in the south.
Especially today, it feels particularly stuffy. Although there is a slight breeze, the air is mixed with an unpleasant damp and fishy smell.
Xiao Ling'er endured the discomfort and carefully studied the prescription.
Suddenly a cool breeze blew, and when she turned around, she found that Gu Yunting had found a large palm-leaf fan from somewhere and was fanning her slowly.
Perhaps because he was carrying the ice-warming stone, he was only wearing a navy blue long gown today. He had a thin figure and a slender waist that could be held in one hand.
She has black hair, a pale complexion, thin lips, and a very clear temperament. Her every move is noble and elegant, yet reveals a hint of aloofness.
