Chapter 40: Chapter 40 To her, it couldn’t be simpler

"General!" The nearby soldier immediately saluted.

Chu Qianli looked up, observing the general clad in gray before her.

This man was about twenty-odd years old and had a mask covering his face, making his features indistinct.

Yet, judging by his build, brimming with vitality, he was surely a robust individual.

Since the soldiers addressed him as General, he must be the leader in charge of aiding Tuoxi Village this time.

Chu Qianli bowed, saying, "I am a doctor who passed by Tuoxi Village and saw that there was a plague outbreak. I wanted to come in and help."

"There’s no need!" The general in gray spoke coldly, "The Imperial Court has already dispatched Imperial Physicians and medics to treat the sick. All other unrelated persons are forbidden to enter."

"But this patient here clearly still has a chance to live. Why have you abandoned him?"

Chu Qianli pointed toward a patient not too far away.

Without going into details, just this person in front of her was obviously still treatable.

The general in gray turned his head for a glance, showing compassion in his eyes.

But when he turned back to face Chu Qianli, his face turned ashen, and he said displeased, "Whether he can be treated is for the Imperial Physician to decide, not for an outsider to comment."

"Human life is paramount, how can you..."

"Husband! Husband!" Just as Chu Qianli hadn’t finished speaking, a woman from deep within the village rushed over, crying out,

"Husband! Why did you bring my husband here? My husband isn’t dead! He’s still alive! Why did you leave him here!"

"Husband! Husband! Speak to me! Please respond to me! Husband! Wuu wuu wuu..."

Yet she was restrained by two soldiers, making it impossible for her to get through.

The man lying on the ground opened his mouth, his hand slowly lifting as if he wanted to say something.

But, he eventually didn’t have the strength, and his hand dropped back down.

The woman wept uncontrollably: "No! Husband! You can’t die! Don’t leave me and our two children behind, husband! You can’t die!"

The sound of her crying really invoked pity.

Even the general in gray blocking Chu Qianli’s way had a solemn expression on his face.

They had been here for some time now, witnessing such heart-wrenching goodbyes every day.

But they could not let their emotions get the better of them; otherwise, even more villagers would die in this plague.

"Did you not see, Miss? It’s very dangerous here, please... Miss! What are you doing?"

The General couldn’t believe his eyes as the lady in white took advantage of his distraction to run past him.

The general in gray wanted to stop her, but Chu Qianli had already squatted beside the man.

"Don’t come any closer!" she said sternly, "I have now been in contact with him; if you come over, you, too, will get infected!"

The soldiers hurriedly retreated, no one daring to approach.

The general in gray was livid with rage, wondering how there could be such a willful woman!

Yet she was now so close to the infected man, and it was uncertain whether she had already been contaminated.

If they let her out now, she would wreak havoc on the people outside!

This person could not be set free!

Seeing that no one dared to approach and cause trouble, Chu Qianli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked down at the man, pressed her lips together, and then reached out to touch his wrist.

"Don’t do it!" the general in gray strode forward, becoming frantic, "You mustn’t touch him!"

"It’s just a common enhanced flu. What is there to be afraid of?"

She had taken the free vaccine offered by the Taobao Medical System; such a flu had no effect on her whatsoever.

The frightening aspect was that the medical environment and technology of ancient times were too backward.

With ancient methods, curing the flu wasn’t easy at all.

But she was a modern doctor; this was too simple for her!

Chu Qianli immediately wanted to buy a disposable syringe and medicine from the System.

But as her thoughts wandered through the System, her heart suddenly chilled.

There was no money in the System!
