City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1561 - 1560: Massaging the Two Ladies

When it was lunchtime, Ye Qiu still hadn’t seen Wen Xin and Zhou Wenting take a break, so he became a little worried about the two women and hurriedly went first to Zhou Wenting’s tent.

"Wenting, are you inside? I’m coming in."

"Come in." Zhou Wenting’s feeble voice came from inside.

When Ye Qiu went inside, he saw Zhou Wenting lying there in a nightgown, covered by a blanket. She indeed seemed weak, having pushed past her limits climbing the mountain the day before yesterday and yesterday, and now she truly felt exhausted all over.

"You haven’t caught this contagious disease, have you?"

Ye Qiu touched Zhou Wenting’s forehead and found she wasn’t feverish; she was just too tired to muster any strength, lazily unwilling to get up.

"I’m sore all over. Climbing the mountain yesterday and the day before was too much for me."

"That reporter Ma and the others went climbing earlier, and he fell, broke bones, and marred his face."

"That serious?" Zhou Wenting asked in surprise.

Thinking of her and Wen Xin following Ye Qiu, being carried by him.

"It rained last night, the path was muddy, they risked their lives, hence such consequences. Lie down here, I’ll give you a massage, you’ll be fine soon."

Originally, on the day before yesterday and yesterday, Ye Qiu knew the two women were exhausted, and he could have infused them with Spiritual Energy to quickly restore their stamina.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t do that because he knew they would become dependent on it. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Therefore, in such a situation, a massage would likely help them recover soon enough.

As Zhou Wenting lay there, Ye Qiu gave her a full-body massage, and indeed, Zhou Wenting found it very comfortable.

After Ye Qiu massaged her twice, she no longer felt exhausted.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Ye Qiu’s gaze fixed on her, Zhou Wenting asked a little shyly. After all, his massage was essentially a full-body touch.

"Nothing, I’m going to see what’s up with Wen Xin, she hasn’t woken up either."

Ye Qiu thought that since Wen Xin had already been infected and developed antibodies, she shouldn’t and couldn’t get infected again.

So, Ye Qiu came to check on Zhou Wenting first.

He went to Wen Xin’s tent, and upon reaching the entrance, he asked, "Wen Xin, are you in there?"

"I’m here," Wen Xin replied from inside.

"Then I’m coming in."

Ye Qiu entered, and Wen Xin was also lying there in her pajamas. Clearly, like Zhou Wenting, she was too exhausted from mountain climbing.

She was so tired she didn’t want to get up at all.

After Ye Qiu entered, Wen Xin put on her underclothes and said, "Maybe it’s because of the mountain climbing, it was really tiring."

"Let me give you a massage and see."

After Ye Qiu massaged her, Wen Xin quickly felt the exhaustion vanish.

She got up to wash up, then went out with Ye Qiu towards the dining hall.

Having eaten at the dining hall, Ye Qiu prepared to go check on the patients again.

After visiting a few patients in the acute phase, Ye Qiu and the two women went away. In this situation, Ye Qiu found that he couldn’t treat anyone effectively and could only ensure the infected didn’t die.

Meanwhile, other medical experts were working on developing effective medicine, but that wasn’t something to be done in a day or two.

When Zhou Wenting and Wen Xin went to see that reporter Ma, they were surprised to find that Ma Wenwen’s face was indeed marred, and the injury on her face looked very noticeable.

"Miss Ma, Ye Qiu said you’re really brave," Zhou Wenting said.

"I was just careless," Ma Wenwen replied. Actually, she knew that besides the facial injury, she wasn’t otherwise harmed.

As for Zhou Wenting and Wen Xin, she was curious about how Ye Qiu managed to bring them up the mountain.

...

At around five in the afternoon, Ye Qiu had rested for a long time at his tent. Coming out of the tent, he planned to visit the old lady before anything else.

He didn’t call Zhou Wenting or Wen Xin, heading up the mountain alone.

Arriving on the mountain, he unexpectedly found Ma Wenwen there.

"You’re here too?" Ma Wenwen seemed a bit surprised to see Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu didn’t say anything and saw the old lady preparing dinner alone. The old lady was now fully recovered, capable of taking care of herself, and the village committee regularly delivered her necessities.

However, as she aged further, self-care might become more difficult. Ma Wenwen thought it might be better to send her to a nursing home in town.

After all, if something happened to the old lady, with no one visiting often, it would be uncertain what might occur.

Moreover, the village committee only delivered supplies a few times a month, not every day.

Like last time, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting found her collapsed here, nearly losing her life.

"Doctor Ye, you’re here, have dinner here later," the old lady said.

"No need," Ye Qiu replied.

He wouldn’t trouble the old lady; he had come over just to check on her.

Given the current situation, Ye Qiu felt he could soon leave the isolation zone.

Coming down from the old lady’s place with Ma Wenwen, she said, "I just discussed the skeletal remains on the mountain with the old lady. She said they were villagers who died from an epidemic years ago, and it was customary to move them to the mountain cave."

Ye Qiu said nothing.

Back in the village, Ye Qiu, Zhou Wenting, and Wen Xin went to have dinner and then showered and returned to their tents to rest.

However, at this time in the isolation ward, Luo Wenfeng’s condition was becoming more severe, showing symptoms like hemoptysis, indicating a critical stage.

Given Luo Wenfeng’s situation, in another day or two, he might experience severe organ failure, and without effective treatment, he would die.

Previously, Luo Wenfeng hadn’t fully understood the patients’ suffering. Now, he felt it himself, starting to fear and dread, realizing he was still young with a family waiting for his safe return.

This time, he took the risk to come here mainly for fame, as Ye Qiu suspected, to gain prestige.

Unexpectedly, coming here yielded no substantial results; instead, he got infected. Even though the medical experts knew the virus source, without effective drugs, it was temporarily useless.

What Luo Wenfeng regretted most was questioning and antagonizing that young man. Now the young man didn’t want to deal with him.

In his room, Ye Qiu played a single-player game on his phone. Without internet access, he had no other choice. However, after playing for a bit, he lost interest, knowing that tonight, without moonlight for cultivation, he could only engage in Meditative Cultivation.
