Godly Empress Doctor

Chapter 188: Get Them Out of Here!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone looked extremely anxious!

If the town was breached, no one here would survive the day!

Because of the earthquake, more than half the houses in Wanping Town had collapsed. Fortunately, most of the villagers had run out in time and only some of them had been buried under the ruins.

The people of Wanping Town were used to such situations. The young and the strong were sent to the gate tower to help with defense, and the middle-aged men began to dig for those buried under the collapsed houses, while the women and children took care of the wounded.

All the sick and wounded were taken to a spacious makeshift army tent.

Jiang Yuan was a mid-level medicine refiner and a medical officer who had been stationed in Wanping Town for a while. Right now, as he led a team of junior medicine refiners, he was busy saving lives.

He looked pained as he watched all the wounded being taken out of the ruins.

“We still have so many wounded soldiers to treat out there on the city walls. With all the wounded civilians here, how are we going to treat everyone in time...” Jiang Yuan was worried sick as he looked around the tent, disconsolate.

“Doctor Jiang... I say we focus on the soldiers first,” Li, a junior medicine refiner working under Jiang Yuan, whispered in his ear. “We need to set our priorities. We’ll be safe here if they can guard the gate. Otherwise... we’ll all be dead. If that happens, all these people that we save here will still die in the end. So, how about we...”

“Young Master Ba is out there at the gate; I’m sure he’s more than capable of helping the soldiers. Since he sent us here, the most important thing for us now is to treat the townspeople. Moreover, these people have been living here in Wanping Town for generations, and help guard the border. They’re the real unsung heroes!”

Doctor Li said in a low voice, “I saw Young Master Ba rushing toward the gate angrily just then. I wonder what happened...”

Jiang Yuan snapped, “Save your spit! Get on with helping the patients already!”

The common folk of Wanping Town were indeed well-trained. The team consisted of middle-aged men who stayed silent and composed. None of them uttered any unnecessary words even when those buried were their next of kin. They only fought back their tears and carried the wounded toward the army tent.

“Wait —” Doctor Li looked at the severely wounded townsfolk and was going to start treating them when he saw that all those lying on stretchers had notes stuck to their chests.

Picking up the notes, Doctor Li read in a low voice, “Intracranial hemorrhage, stopped with a silver needle. Ruptured spleen, repaired, needs immediate suture. Torn ankle tendon and comminuted fracture, already treated, only needs recovery ointment...”

Doctor Li laughed as he read on. “Is this supposed to be a joke? How can anyone stop an intracranial hemorrhage like that? And no one can repair a ruptured spleen without opening up the patient! And that ankle, that requires an amputation! This is ridiculous! It’s interfering with our normal procedures!”

“Zhao Qian!” Doctor Li scolded the leader of the middle-aged team doing the digging. “Who on earth did this? This is monkey business! Whoever did this, get them out of here!”

“Is it monkey business?” Zhao Qian looked troubled.

He had seen with his own eyes that with a wave of her hand and a flicker of golden needles, that beautiful young lady straightaway stopped Zhao Wu from bleeding out...

And it wasn’t just Zhao Wu. It was the same with Zhao Liu, Zhao Qi, Zhao Ba...

“Of course it is! We’re working our asses off here and someone is still trying to make fun of us! That’s just abominable!” Doctor Li reprimanded loudly.
