Chapter 351: I Am Not Like Ordinary Doctors

Zhang Yu looked shocked, "But many of the patients here are in critical condition, and the doctors have already told them to prepare for their funerals."

"Just because your doctors can't cure them doesn't mean I can't," Bai Wei said, decisively rolling up her sleeves. "Don't waste time. Zhang Yu, tell your men to clear out a clean room for me. I'm starting the treatment now."

After speaking, she turned her head to instruct Xiao Moting and Xiao Lujing.

"Time is limited, you two come help as well."

Xiao Moting immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Bai Wei was going to treat the patients, Zhang Yu dared not delay and hurriedly called over a dozen men from the Peasant Army to clear out the largest room.

Bai Wei walked into the room and turned to say to Zhang Yu.

"By the way, I have one requirement."

"That is, when I am treating patients, no one is allowed to watch from the side, not even standing at the doorway."

"Also, all patients must have their eyes covered; they are not allowed to watch me treat them either."

Zhang Yu was startled, then nodded immediately.

"Very well, I will do as you require."

After all, capable people usually have some eccentricities, and he understood that.

As long as Bai Wei could cure the illnesses of these Peasant Army soldiers, it wouldn't matter if she made a few more requests.

Zhang Yu turned around and ordered his subordinates to clear the room so Bai Wei could treat the patients.

Soon, a clean room was cleared out.

Bai Wei walked in and looked around.

The room was spacious, and the doors and windows closed tightly, making it impossible to peek from the outside.

The reason she wanted a room as a medical bay and forbade anyone from watching was that she feared outsiders would discover her ability to use Teleportation to move items.

The Northern Frontier Army were her own people and could be trusted, but she did not know these Peasant Army soldiers well and could not trust them.

As for treating the patients, Bai Wei had already taken a look and discovered that most of them had suffered external wounds during battle that had not been treated in time, leading to limb infections.

There were also some patients whose bodies were swollen, yet their bellies were as large as drums; this was caused by a lack of food, forcing them to eat grass roots and Guanyin clay to stave off hunger.

Only a few severely infected patients needed surgical treatment to amputate limbs or excise necrotic flesh.

Bai Wei closed the doors and windows tightly and immediately stepped outside.

"Xiao Moting, go send for a carriage quickly to bring in my medical tools."

After speaking, she gave Xiao Moting a look.

Xiao Moting had been with Bai Wei for over a year and understood her intentions implicitly; he nodded immediately, "Right, I'll have someone go move them now."

Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and took simple medical equipment out of the Warehouse to prepare in the room.

In truth, having Xiao Moting move the medical tools was just a smokescreen.

The real surgical tools were all in her Warehouse.

Soon, Bai Wei took a pile of surgical tools, a portable power bank, a portable B-ultrasound Machine, and disinfectant medicine out of the Warehouse...

As for the Surgical Table, it was inconvenient for Bai Wei to use Teleportation, so she had someone carry a bed inside.

Before long, Xiao Moting arrived with the carriage and, putting on a show, had people move a dozen empty crates inside.

This series of operations left Zhang Yu wide-eyed with surprise.

"Bai requires so many tools to treat illnesses?"

Xiao Moting said, "Bai's medical methods are different from ordinary doctors. Not only does she use observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking, but she also uses various tools. Each illness requires different tools."

After speaking, he paused.

"Bai doesn't let others watch her treat patients because she fears her medical skills might be stolen by those with ulterior motives."

This mysterious explanation made Zhang Yu hold her in even higher regard.

He didn't understand medicine either, and while Xiao Moting's words sounded hazy to him, he still wore an expression of admiration.

"Please rest assured, Bai, we would never steal your medical skills. However, Bai's methods are truly unheard of; this is my first time seeing them. You are truly a divine doctor!"

Xiao Moting nodded and walked into the room.

Bai Wei was moving the B-ultrasound Machine and beckoned as soon as she saw Xiao Moting enter.

"Come help, it's too heavy."

"You rest, I'll handle it." Xiao Moting immediately stepped forward and pulled Bai Wei behind him, "Leave these heavy tasks to me."

Bai Wei looked up and smiled.

Together with Xiao Moting, she spent some time setting up the treatment room, then walked out the door.

"Lu Jing, you keep watch outside. You are responsible for checking the patients, covering their eyes, and sending them in one by one."

"Yes."

Xiao Lujing nodded solemnly.

He knew that Bai Wei's ability to use Teleportation must never be known by others, so he was on high alert.

Outside the door, a large crowd of Peasant Army soldiers had gathered.

Seeing so many large crates being moved into the room, everyone was curious and gathered around to watch.

However, due to Zhang Yu's orders, no one dared to approach the doorway for fear of angering Bai Wei, so they all stood far away to watch.

Xiao Lujing looked up and scanned the crowd.

"We can begin treatment now. Who will be first?"

The crowd immediately became restless, looking at one another.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu lifted his chin.

"Let Lao Wang go first. If his leg isn't treated soon, he won't last much longer."

Several members of the Peasant Army carried over a Stretcher, on which lay a wounded man with a Bandage wrapped around his thigh.

The wounded man was in a state of high fever, completely unconscious and unresponsive; the Bandage on his leg was oozing pus, and the wound had already rotted and become inflamed.

Zhang Yu stepped forward and placed a black cloth hood over the wounded man's head.

"Lao Wang has been unconscious for several days and likely won't wake up, but per Bai's instructions, we must still put a hood on him."

Xiao Lujing stepped forward and carefully conducted an examination.

He was an assassin; he was cautious and careful in all things and would never allow the slightest mistake, so even with an unconscious wounded man, he would not let his guard down.

After finishing the examination, he looked up.

"It is ready."

The several members of the Peasant Army placed the Stretcher at the doorway and, with expressions of respect, quickly retreated.

Xiao Moting walked out and, together with Xiao Lujing, carried the Stretcher inside.

Clang.

The door closed.

Zhang Yu stood not far outside the door, keeping watch for Bai Wei to prevent anyone from approaching or peeking.

Everyone was waiting anxiously in the courtyard.

Xiao Lujing also walked out and continued to stand guard outside the door.

Time passed second by second.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed; there was still no movement in the room, and apart from the occasional strange "buzzing" sound, there was no other noise.

The people waiting outside gradually became restless, whispering to one another.

"They've been treating him for so long and still haven't come out; could it be that they can't cure him?"

"Lao Wang was struck by an arrow in the leg, and the arrowhead was coated in excrement; he's seen several doctors and taken many herbs, but nothing works. He is terminally ill and only one step away from the gates of hell. Can Bai really cure him?"

"Even the doctor in the city who charges the highest fees shook his head when he saw Lao Wang. Bai is so young; perhaps she was just boasting earlier and now can't fix him."

"Tsk tsk, maybe Lao Wang has been treated to death, and Bai is hiding inside, afraid to come out after causing such trouble."

The cold wind whistled through the cracks in the window, carrying with it the faint, biting scent of snow.
