Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“What’s—”
When Lin Suisui came forward, she was baffled to see the people lying on the ground. She looked up and asked the sergeant who had sent them over, “What’s going on?!”
Not only had she never seen these people in the refugee camp, but from their attire, they also didn’t look like ordinary refugees.
“Madam Liu, Mr. Pei arranged for them to help you!
“From today onwards, these people will be here to take care of the patients’ daily needs, like changing their clothes and feeding them medicine! You just have to arrange for them to do things. If they disobey your orders, Mr. Pei will not let them off easily!”
The general in the lead cupped his fists at Lin Suisui and said Pei Qian’s instructions respectfully and politely.
Lin Suisui frowned as she looked at the group of people who were howling in despair on the ground. She really didn’t know what work could be arranged for them. Even if there was work, could these people bear the responsibility?!
“Madam Liu, don’t worry. Mr. Pei said that our refugee camp won’t raise useless people. If they can’t do anything, it’s better to just hang them up like the others.”
The general seemed to have noticed Lin Suisui’s dilemma. He smiled and continued to raise his voice. Instead of saying it to Lin Suisui and the others, he said it to the pile of people lying on the ground.
In the direction of his gaze, the corpses on the wooden shelves were still dripping blood…
“If you guys listen to Madam Liu’s arrangements, you guys might not die. But if you guys continue to delay things here, the outcome won’t be the same.”
The general smiled meaningfully and didn’t delay any longer. He bowed to Lin Suisui again before turning to leave.
“Do any of you know how to sew?”
Since it was Pei Qian’s arrangement, Lin Suisui didn’t stand on ceremony with these people. She made arrangements.
Although most of the people on the ground were terrified, they still understood the situation. Hearing Lin Suisui’s question, two little girls quickly raised their hands weakly.
With someone taking the lead, the girls on the other side also raised their hands.
“Go ask the soldier guarding the door for some thin cotton cloth and needles. Make masks and sleeves first! Next, I’ll tell you what to pay attention to when taking care of those patients.
If you can listen to my arrangements carefully and do as I say, I can guarantee your lives. But if you don’t listen to my advice, there’s nothing I can do!”
Lin Suisui didn’t hide anything and decisively told the people in front of her some things that needed to be taken care of. Then, she arranged for a few men to fetch water and chop wood. In short, she followed Pei Qian’s instructions and made sure that everyone who came in was busy.
After arranging these people’s work, Lin Suisui didn’t stay idle either. She went to the tent to check all the patients.
Compared to the first day, a few more patients had been sent in. Fortunately, the tent had been previously prepared and could accommodate them. However, there were clearly not enough people to take care of them. It was good to have this group of people to help.
It was only after these people entered the plague area and helped for two days that Lin Suisui realized that the people sent in were actually the families of the nearby county officials.
Because they were afraid of getting into trouble, these officials turned a deaf ear to Pei Qian’s request for help. Not only did they not help, but they even chased out the soldiers who went to those towns to buy herbs and other resources!
Pei Qian wasn’t a pushover. He simply brought all the families of these officials into this refugee area.
It was fine if they didn’t help. At most, they would die together!
As if this wasn’t enough, on the third day, Lin Suisui actually saw the arrogant Du Yuanruo being sent in while tied up.
“Go, throw Third Young Master Du into the tent where the seriously ill live!”
Pei Qian followed behind this group of people. Although his expression couldn’t be seen because of the mask, the ruthlessness in his dark eyes made the officials who wanted to dissuade him swallow their words.
They couldn’t afford to offend him!
“Pei Qian, you son of a bitch, you’ll die a horrible death!” As Du Yuanruo struggled, the gag covering his mouth fell to the ground. He finally had the time to roar and curse. If possible, he would pounce on Pei Qian and bite him a few times to vent his anger.
He originally thought that it was bad enough that Pei Qian imprisoned him in the tent, but he didn’t expect this bastard to be so malicious as to make him contract a plague in order to threaten the surrounding officials into compromising and listening to his orders!
Previously, Pei Qian put the word out that the only legitimate son of the Duke was currently suffering from the plague, so if the officials didn’t help and something happened to him, these officials should think about how to appease the Duke…
Why didn’t he know that he had the plague?!
To think that he had foolishly asked Pei Qian. Who knew that this bastard would tell him in a sarcastic tone that he would know immediately!
Then, he was sent to the plague area by this bastard!
“Don’t worry, even if I die, I won’t die in front of you!” Pei Qian reached out and patted Du Yuanruo’s face with a smile. For once, he wasn’t angry at Du Yuanruo’s cursing. “Don’t worry. Madam Liu’s medical skills are outstanding. Even if you’re infected with the plague, she has a way to treat you.”
Du Yuanruo opened his mouth to bite Pei Qian’s finger, but Pei Qian dodged quickly. Not only did he fail to bite Pei Qian, but he also almost bit his tongue.
Du Yuanruo had nowhere to vent his anger. When he heard Pei Qian’s words, he couldn’t help but roar, “She’s just a village girl. What does she know about medicine?!
“Pei Qian, you bastard, let me go if you have the guts. I want to fight you for 800 rounds!”
“You? Save your strength!” Du Yuanruo glanced at Du Yuanruo in disdain, then turned to instruct the soldiers guarding the side, “Block his mouth. He’s so noisy!”
Then, without waiting for Du Yuanruo to be taken away, he turned around to look at Lin Suisui, who had come over after hearing the news. He said in front of Du Yuanruo, “Throw him into the tent of the seriously ill first. There’s no need to prepare a mask for him. As for whether he will contract the plague, that’s up to his luck!
If he really contracts the plague, you don’t have to worry about him!
Third Young Master Du is noble. You’re just a doctor from the countryside. You’re not qualified to treat this young master! Let him endure it!”
