214 Don’t Dy Me From Saving People


    “I’m a doctor. Don’t move. I’ll check your pulse,” Chuchu said warmly and smiled at the beggar.


    The beggar fell into a trance at her smile. “Am I already dead?”


    “You’re not dead yet. Don’t be afraid. My sister-inw can save you.” Xie Jun squatted down beside them.


    Seeing such a lovely child as Xie Jun, the beggar more than ever felt that he had died.


    Otherwise, how could such a good-looking person approach him and still not mind him dirty?


    Chuchu was now sure that this beggar had been infected with the Blood Bug Virus.


    “Da Lang, look around for an inn. Let’s take the man there first.” She looked back at Xie Heng.


    “The inn is over there.” Xie Heng had note over together because he was observing theyout of Qiaoyi Town. So he immediately pointed out the direction of the inn when Chuchu asked.


    The inn’s g signs had been tattered. They could barely recognize that it was an inn if not for good eyesight.


    Xie Heng came over, helped the beggar get up, and walked toward the inn.


    The inn was open. The sorrowful inn owner was lying on the counter with a look of waiting for death.


    Seeing the three strangers, the inn owner was a bit stunned.


    “Are you here to stay the night?” He didn’t quite dare to believe it. “Hasn’t Qiaoyi Town been blocked off by the soldiers? How did you get here?”


    Chuchu replied, “I’m a doctor. A friend wrote to me that someone in Qiaoyi Town has a strange disease and asked me to take a look here. Please bring some hot water to help this uncle wash up, and ask all the patients like him in the town toe over here.”


    The inn owner was shocked for a moment but quickly began to persuade Chuchu, “So many doctors havee to see them, but they can’t help. Youngdy, you are at such a young age. Can you save those people with big bellies?”


    “Now the people in town are basically waiting to die. If you are notpletely certain about saving them, I would advise you to avoid all this. It’s better to stay away from those about to die.”


    Chuchu understood what he meant. He meant no harm to her and was not looking down on her.


    He was just worried that Chuchu couldn’t cure the patient and ended up being retaliated against by them.


    “I am certain. Please get the patients here as soon as possible. The imperial court will not give you a chance to live if it is toote,” Chuchu said seriously.


    The owner sighed. “Everyone says that our people havemitted too much evil and are targeted by wronged ghosts. Those with big bellies are pregnant with ghosts. Even the court believed it and blocked our town…”


    After a pause, he looked at Chuchu again, his expression stern. “Youngdy, if you can save us, we will set up a monument for you.”


    “Let’s talk about thatter. Do as I say first, don’t waste time.”


    “Okay, I’ll go right away. Dachuan, boil some water.”


    After instructing the bartender, he hurriedly went out.


    It was hot at present, and the water boiled up quickly.


    Dachuan helped the beggars to take a bath after nervously asking Chuchu, “Youngdy, what you said earlier is true? Can you cure these patients? Our town is not haunted by wronged spirits. They are not pregnant with ghosts either, right?”


    “No, it’s just sickness. Quickly go help him wash and change dry clothes for him.”


    “Yeah, yeah.”


    He did not dare to dy.


    But after walking a few steps, he turned back. “Youngdy, if you can save the patients with big belly disease, then can you, please help my mother too?”


    “I will go vige by vige. Right now, let’s check the pulse of the people in town first.”


    “Well, thank you, youngdy.”


    Dachuan’s eyes were red, and he took the beggar to the back to take a bath as fast as he could.


    Chuchu moved two tables outside the inn together with Xie Heng to make a simple consultation area.


    Xie Jun also came to help.


    The inn owner soon returned, followed by more than a dozen people with big bellies.


    Men and women, young and old.


    He was panting and sweating. “Doctor, only they are willing toe to you for treatment. Everyone else doesn’t believe in you. I, I’ve tried my best.”


    From youngdy to doctor, the inn owner was also hoping that Chuchu had a way to cure them.


    But along with them came a middle-aged man.


    As soon as he approached, Chuchu could smell the medicinal herbs on him. It was evident that he was also a doctor.


    However, before she could say anything, the man spoke first to Xie Heng,pletely ignoring her. “Are you the one who can cure their big bellies the shopkeeper said? You speak boldly for a man at such a young age.”


    Xie Heng said in a calm voice, “Age does not represent experience, let alone medical skills. You are old enough, yet you cannot cure them.”


    “How dare you speak such nonsense in front of the seniors? Do you know the rules of this business, that the junior should be respectful to the senior? You say you are a doctor, but you don’t even know the most basic things. Did you all hear that? This kid is not a doctor at all!”


    “My husband is indeed not a doctor, and we never said he was one.”


    “Listen, are the liars so bold and arrogant now? Do you think you can do whatever you want here because the government has sealed off Qiaoyi Town? Now kneel and admit your mistake. I can pretend this never happened.”


    He seemed to have something on them, like a hero returning from the battlefield.


    Chuchu looked at the inn owner. “This is your doctor from Qiaoyi Town? No wonder more and more people are getting sick. Not much of a doctor, but a master of high and mighty posture.”


    “Shut up. You don’t have the right to speak here!” The middle-aged man pointed at Chuchu angrily.


    Chuchuughed. “If we are to rank the seniority in terms of medical skills, I should be able to be considered as the ancestor of you. However, you are too useless. I am not willing to be your ancestor.”


    “You, you…” The middle-aged man was so angry that he couldn’t speak. After a moment, he shouted at those with significant belly diseases. “Get this girl for me, or you won’t ever catch a bit of medicine at my ce!”


    “I don’t intend to use your medicine, lest you add something in it and make these people worse. If you want to see me curing them, I will not be so stingy as not to show you. If you are not to stop your bullshit, get the hell out of here, and don’t dy me from saving people.”


    The middle-aged man was almost on the verge of death from seething rage.


    “Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Zhao, my husband’s family name is Xie, and I am from Yuanjiang County, Guangqing Province.” Chuchu looked at the middle-aged man and slowly added this sentence.


    ...


    Qiaoyi Town was far away from Yuanjiang County, but the story of a gue that urred in Yuanjiang County at the beginning of the year had already reached here.


    Hearing this, the inn owner’s eyes widened open, and he immediately asked, “Are you Mrs. Xie that had cured the gue in Yuanjiang County?”


    “I can’t say I’m the only one who cured the gue, but I did make the recipe for the gue.” Chuchu looked at the middle-aged man with a half smile. “Do you think I am qualified to be your ancestor?”
