Chapter 43: Doctor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Lin Suisui entered the tent, she saw five completely lifeless faces and equally hollow eyes.
“I’m the doctor who came to treat you all.” Lin Suisui’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear. Almost as soon as she spoke, she elicited a response from a few people in the tent.
They looked like puppets that had snapped back to their senses.
“A doctor? We can be saved?!”
Among the five patients in the room, only the woman closest to the tent snorted mockingly. “Everyone knows that if you get the plague, you can only wait for death! How can we be saved?!”
“If there’s really a way to save us, the people who come to save us should be the medical officers following that lord. Who do you think you are?!”
The woman pulled her coat as she vented her anger.
She was going to die anyway. What else did she have to worry about?!
“Everyone says that there are specialists in every field. Since I received the orders from the higher-ups to come here, it means that I have a certain level of capability and confidence in treating the plague.
As for the medical officers you mentioned, I’ll feedback the results I obtained after checking your pulse here. Then, everyone will determine the medicine amount together. This way, everyone can split the work and work together. It’ll be easier.”
Lin Suisui could understand the feelings of these patients in front of her, so she didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she explained to them sincerely.
“As for whether this plague can be cured, from the beginning of history until now, there have always been thousands of the plague in the area where we live.
Over the years, doctors had also been summarizing their experiences and looking for more comprehensive methods to treat diseases from the experience accumulated by their predecessors.
There had been a few the plague in the past few years, but because they were treated well, it didn’t affect them that much!
You’ve just gotten sick. Why do you have to be so depressed and give up?!”
Lin Suisui’s voice wasn’t loud, but her words were convincing and easily dispelled much of their frustration. These patients’ eyes lit up.
“Who knows if you came in willingly or if you were forced?! Perhaps the adults have already abandoned us and are just waiting to trap us here to die?!”
This woman’s words were not groundless.
It was recorded that when some dynasties dealt with the plague, they confined people who had the disease in a city and even destroyed the city to kill them to prevent future trouble.
However, this method was too cruel and heartless! In the end, even if the plague could be appeased, the Imperial Court would be criticized! Moreover, this method often didn’t work.
If even a single person escaped from the plague area, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Therefore, until now, the Imperial Court had usually arranged for active treatment. They had to think of a way to cure it and destroy the disease. Not only could it benefit the people, but it could also ensure the support of the people. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
“If he really gave up on you guys, with his personality, he could have directly executed you people who had contracted the disease and burned you down. Why would he go through so much trouble to set up a tent here to arrange for me to treat you guys?!
Besides, you’re not even afraid of death anymore. What else do you have to worry about?!”
Lin Suisui looked at the woman and asked with a smile.
“Besides, I’m not the only one who entered here this time. My husband also entered here with me. If this place is really beyond hope, how could I drag my husband in here to die with me?!”
Seeing that the woman was silent, Lin Suisui smiled and added, “We’re already in the same boat now. We’ll live and die together!”
Therefore, please believe me. This way, we can find a cure for you as soon as possible and leave this place as soon as possible!”
Lin Suisui continued to persuade her sincerely. This time, she finally convinced the woman to nod. “Alright, then I’ll see how capable you are!”
She was the first to walk over. She sat in front of Lin Suisui according to Lin Suisui’s instructions and reached out to let Lin Suisui take her pulse. She also let her check the rashes that were already starting to show on her arm.
With this woman taking the lead, the remaining people in the tent chose to cooperate. Not only that, but the patients in the next tent also heard them. For the time being, they stopped making a fuss and listened to Lin Suisui’s arrangements obediently.
After checking all the patients in the plague area, Lin Suisui was more confident.
When she came out and wanted to wash her hands, she was surprised to discover that there were two jars of hard liquor beside the bucket and wooden basin.
She had previously told Pei Qian that strong alcohol helped prevent the spread of the plague and it was best for the soldiers who often moved around the plague area to cover their mouths with masks. They should also use strong alcohol to wash the exposed skin as much as possible.
She didn’t expect Pei Qian to prepare it for them.
Since he had prepared it, Lin Suisui didn’t stand on ceremony. After washing herself carefully, she watched Lu Ze wash himself as well. Then, she returned to the ox cart to take out a pen and ink. She made a detailed record of the symptoms she had diagnosed today and didn’t forget to include the prescription she had decided on.
Pei Qian received the records and prescription from Lin Suisui almost immediately.
What attracted him at first glance wasn’t what was written on this paper, but the beautiful handwriting.
How could a countryside girl have such beautiful handwriting?!
However, this handwriting was too different from the soft handwriting of the sixth daughter of the Lin family that he was familiar with…
“Prince, Madam Liu said that most of the herbs in this prescription can be found in the forest nearby, but four of them can’t be found. I have to ask you to arrange for someone to buy them from the pharmacy in the nearby city as soon as possible.”
Qian He lowered his hand and reported in a low voice. At the same time, he didn’t forget to ask, “Do we need to show this prescription to the doctors?!”
“Why show them?!” Pei Qian raised his hand and put away the pages. He only handed the prescription to Qian He. “Transcribe a few copies of this prescription and ask them to go to the pharmacy in the nearby town quickly to buy the herbs we need!”
