Shen Ruoxi really didn't expect that even after she said this, the people still insisted on giving her gifts.
These things could not be returned, which would hurt the people's good intentions, nor could they be accepted with peace of mind. Shen Ruoxi fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she walked to the soldiers and ordered a few things to leave behind. They were all practical and beautiful handicrafts.
"The rest will all be sent to the military camp to reward the soldiers!" Shen Ruoxi's voice was crisp, but her tone did not allow for questioning.
"This..." The soldiers were surprised and more at a loss.
Instead of sending it back, it was sent to the military camp in her name to reward the soldiers.
"Why, you keep calling me Princess and saying you love me, but you won't listen to my first order?" Shen Ruoxi raised an eyebrow.
"The peace and tranquility that the Great Yan Kingdom enjoys today is all earned by the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. Isn't it worth a reward?"
Shen Ruoxi's words touched the hearts of the soldiers present, and even more so, the hearts of their parents and families.
“As you command!” The soldiers’ eyes filled with tears as they took the things to the barracks. Shen Ruoxi’s reputation also spread to the surrounding cities.
A tiger father has a dog daughter. General Luo’s daughter is also a good princess who loves her people like her own children!
But they didn’t know that this news had also reached the capital.
In the afternoon, General Luo sent someone over to pick up the two of them and take them to the tent to discuss important matters.
On the yellow sand road, Shen Ruoxi saw that almost all the people were hunched over, and the elderly took a long break after taking a step, and the sound of coughing was incessant.
The soldier seemed to see the confusion in Shen Ruoxi’s heart, and explained with a sigh: “These are all common diseases here and cannot be cured.”
Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Why can't it be cured? Have you seen a doctor?"
The soldier nodded. "I looked at it, but it was useless. Even if it was cured in a short time, it would relapse soon in this windy and dusty environment. Besides, there are not enough herbs."
Shen Ruoxi frowned. If a city couldn't even guarantee the health of its people, how could it resist the invasion of foreign enemies?
"Take me to the clinic." Shen Ruoxi changed her mind.
The soldier was stunned: "But the general is still waiting for you."
Shen Ruoxi smiled: "Don't worry, I will explain to my father and won't let him blame you."
The soldier blushed and nodded.
The Luo family army has always had strict discipline. If they delay, they will be punished. Unexpectedly, the princess saw through what he was thinking at a glance!
This made him feel more confident and bold, so he asked the driver to change direction and go to the largest clinic in East City.
It is said to be the largest medical clinic, but in fact it is just a thatched hut built with straw. From a modern perspective, it is a dilapidated building.
Before I even entered, I heard the painful wails and coughs of the old lady in the room: "I'm in so much pain, cough cough cough, Doctor Zhou, cough cough, please give me some Ma Fei San, cough cough..."
The doctor sighed, "Aunt Zeng, you know that here, Ma Fei San is worth more than gold. Please be patient!"
"Alas, when will this end? Ahem... If it weren't for my little grandson, I would have wanted to die long ago!"
As soon as Shen Ruoxi entered the room, she saw the old lady lying there sobbing.
When the doctor saw the soldiers, a look of compassion appeared on his face. "Is the war coming again? I'm running low on herbs. Take them all. No money is required. I just want the children to return safely."
The soldier quickly waved his hands and explained, "Doctor Zhou, you misunderstood. We are not here to collect herbs."
Hearing this, Doctor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. It's good that there's no war. The children can still have a few more days of good life!"
"Are herbs scarce here?" Shen Ruoxi asked.
Doctor Zhou nodded helplessly. "Yes, due to geological reasons, it's difficult for herbs to survive. Add to that the constant fighting, and even fewer people are willing to do business, so herbs are basically impossible to import."
As he spoke, he pointed to the medicine cabinet behind him and said, "These are what I get from Linzhen every month after I go there and talk my mouth off. But it's just a drop in the bucket. Once a war breaks out, it won't be enough..."
Doctor Zhou wiped away tears as he spoke. "I've seen more than once teenagers who were seriously injured on the battlefield. They could have survived with amputation, but because they had no medicine or anesthetic powder, they died in pain."
Shen Ruoxi's heart was also severely stung.
Whether in the past or in the future, those who are most hurt by war will always be ordinary people.
Whether on the front line or in the rear.
She was very fortunate to have given birth to her children in the best era.
Beside her ears, Aunt Zeng’s breathing became more and more rapid. Shen Ruoxi frowned slightly and came to sit next to Aunt Zeng.
After taking Aunt Zeng’s pulse, Shen Ruoxi’s brows furrowed even deeper: “Doctor Zhou, please lend me a few silver needles.”
"Silver needles? No!" Doctor Zhou refused directly.
He didn't know Shen Ruoxi at all, and Shen Ruoxi looked so young. Even if she knew medical skills, she was probably only half-baked.
If something goes wrong in his clinic, who will be responsible?
Seeing the two people deadlocked, Aunt Zeng could no longer bear it: "Doctor Zhou, let this girl try. Ahem, I'm in so much pain that I'm almost dying. Do I still care about my life?"
"If you're worried, I'll ask everyone here to be my witnesses. Even if someone finds out there's something wrong with me, I won't blame anyone, cough cough cough!"
Seeing Aunt Zeng like this, Doctor Zhou couldn't bear it. He thought that even if Shen Ruoxi couldn't cure the disease, at least she could give Aunt Zeng some psychological comfort, so he finally brought out the silver needle.
But before handing it to Shen Ruoxi, he warned again: "If you are not sure about the acupuncture points, don't touch them, it will be fatal."
Shen Ruoxi said nothing. After taking the silver needle, she sat down opposite Aunt Zeng again.
Everyone present watched this scene nervously.
The young soldier was even more restless, and even wondered whether he should send someone back to report to the general.
If something really happens and Aunt Zeng's family comes and does something bad to the princess, he will be blamed for it!
"Princess, why don't you wait until the general arrives before giving the acupuncture?" The little soldier whispered in Shen Ruoxi's ear.
Shen Ruoxi glanced at the old lady's pale face and said, "It's too late."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Zeng fell down.
Doctor Zhou was so frightened that he screamed, "Something happened! Stop it!"
Shen Ruoxi glanced at Doctor Zhou and said, "I haven't given the needle yet."
Doctor Zhou:?
"Then we must stop. Her disease is a chronic one. It cannot be cured by acupuncture alone without medicine!" Doctor Zhou's eyes turned red with anxiety.
"We can't just stand by and watch someone die." As she spoke, Shen Ruoxi quickly inserted several silver needles into Aunt Zeng's acupuncture points.
Doctor Zhou's eyes went dark, and he saw that every acupuncture point pierced by Shen Ruoxi was the Mingmen acupoint. This was sending people directly to hell!
"Mom, where is my mom?!" The anxious voice of a middle-aged man came from outside the door.
