Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 338 - : A Person of Strong Principles

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: A Person of Strong Principles

“Ah, all right,” Qi Yue shook her head helplessly, “I’ll give you some books later, and you’ll understand once you read them. But I’m warning you, don’t be too disappointed then!”

“Not hearing the title ‘Divine Doctor’ would be the real disappointment. I’d die unresigned!”

“Fine, I’ll give them to you when we get back, okay?”

As they talked, they felt the fatigue on their bodies lessen considerably.

Actually, Qi Yue wasn’t just making things up.

When she first started learning medicine, she too aimed to become a Divine Doctor and hence looked through many books on hand diagnosis, foot diagnosis, and facial diagnosis.

...

It must be said, combining those with pulse-taking and clinical experience was especially accurate.

That had indeed brought her into the limelight for a while.

But when her mother found out, she accused Qi Yue of not focusing on what truly mattered.

Lately, as she treated more patients, she discovered that medical skills should prioritize saving lives.

If someone rambled about various symptoms but produced no real treatment methods, they were either showing off or trying to scam others.

Since then, she rarely spoke carelessly, treating this knowledge as mere auxiliary help for diagnosing illnesses.

However, after coming to this world and being called ‘Divine Doctor’ repeatedly, she couldn’t help wanting to show off.

At that moment, Hei Lie arrived, saying that the Governor’s Office had sent people to invite her for a meal at their home, and to stay over as well.

Without a second thought, Qi Yue had Hei Lie reject the invitation.

“Just tell them the truth, I really can’t get away here.”

She was telling the absolute truth.

With so many people lying sick in the deteriorating hall of Rishengchang, and now that early winter was setting in, they required care.

As a physician, she could not leave.

Besides, even if it wasn’t for these actual reasons, she wouldn’t want to go to the Governor’s Office anyway.

She feared that seeing Chu Yuntian would make her want to ask about past affairs.

In the end, the middle-aged man who had been in a comatose state was also taken back to Rishengchang by her, to be looked after alongside over a hundred others.

Hearing the response from Qi Yue, the envoy from the Governor’s Office immediately went back to report.

After listening, Chu Yuntian inquired about the details of the situation before slowly nodding his head.

“Dear, since Yueyue is too busy to come, let’s prepare some food and send it over. That child is picky with her food; she might not like what’s outside,” he said.

Mrs. Chu smiled warmly, “Do you really need to remind me of that, my lord? I had arranged for that long ago, rest assured!”

Chu Yunfei nodded in satisfaction, stroking his beard.

“This child is really having a tough time,” he said.

His wife responded from beside him, “Exactly, if it weren’t for Yueyue’s kind heart, taking on this whole burden by herself, wouldn’t all these issues be yours?”

“You’re right, dear. This child is suffering for me!”

Chu Yuntian’s face bore the somber weight of being the leader of Longnan County Government.

Meanwhile, in the midst of her busy schedule, Qi Yue sneezed vehemently.

If she knew Chu Yuntian actually thought this way, she would definitely draw her twin swords and slam them down on the table.

Why couldn’t it just be for herself?

In Rishengchang’s hall, Qi Yue was staring at the over a hundred soldiers yet to awaken.

Huang Zai’an was right behind her, examining them too, book in hand, muttering to himself.

“Calluses on the foot, located to the left of the big toe, represent…”

Qi Yue looked at her self-proclaimed teacher wordlessly and shook her head.

“Really obsessed!” she muttered.

Huang Zai’an, who was engrossed in the Foot Diagnosis Book, didn’t think before replying, “Then there’s no hope, right?”

“Exactly, there’s no hope,” echoed Qi Yue in a peculiar tone.

Realizing Qi Yue’s odd inflection, Huang Zai’an snapped back to reality.

“Are you looking down on your teacher?” he accused.

“I didn’t mean that. I’ve given you the books, I haven’t held anything back. What more do you want?” she retorted.

“Was I implying anything like that?”

“Then what are you implying?”

“…”

After a brief verbal skirmish, Huang Zai’an admitted defeat and stopped showing off, tossing the book aside as his temper flared.

“Then tell me, what should we do? How do we find out what diseases all these people originally had?”

Qi Yue curled the corners of her lips.

“I don’t know either, let’s just observe for now, didn’t you say that sleeping on it might resolve everything by morning?”

Huang Zai’an twirled his mustache. “That’s a passive attitude!”

Qi Yue suppressed a laugh.

“I call it taking joy in fate!”

This made Huang Zai’an’s hands start to tremble as well.

“I am doing this for whom, my disciple? I want you to save all these people and become renowned across the land. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? When that time comes and everyone respects you, what can’t you do?”

“I don’t want to do anything. Once I’ve collected that National Treasure, I’ll have more silver than I can spend, and I can live whatever kind of life I want.”

“What about Zhao Xiyan? What about the common people of this world?” Huang Zai’an widened his eyes.

“Can Zhao Xiyan manage the common people of this world? What does that have to do with me?”

“….” Suddenly, Huang Zai’an fell backward.

Qi Yue quickly stepped forward and administered two needles.

After Huang Zai’an slowly came to, he still clutched her arm and asked, “Good disciple, you were just joking just now, weren’t you?”

Qi Yue was about to tease him further, but then she remembered Huang Zai’an hadn’t rested all night either, so she quickly nodded her head.

“For someone of your age, to not understand a bit of reason and to faint from anger, how could you?”

Huang Zai’an glared at her.

“It’s because you, girl, are always so odd, changing every moment. It confuses your master greatly.”

“Alright, you should rest now. Look at your age. Can you compare with a young person like me?”

Huang Zai’an, having forced himself to stay awake all night and now exhausted, fainted once again.

“You… I’m just worried about you!”

“Alright, you don’t need to worry anymore. I already have a plan. By early tomorrow morning, we will know if those people can still be saved.”

“Really?”

Seeing Huang Zai’an getting excited again, Qi Yue quickly had someone take him to another place.

Just then, food was delivered from the Governor’s Office, and without a second thought, Qi Yue had it sent to Huang Zai’an.

Taking advantage of the lingering daylight, Qi Yue had people fetch door panels, curtains, and straw screens to encircle the entire hall, leaving only one door for entry and exit.

After all the hustle, Hei Lie, Qu Wei, and others could hardly stay awake.

After all, they had not slept all night and had been busy all day.

Qi Yue told them to go to sleep, and she stayed behind to care for those who had not awakened, but Hei Lie insisted on staying with her.

“Master, I’ve taken the medicine you gave, and I’m very alert.”

Unable to argue with this stubborn rough man, Qi Yue just gave him a pot of Spiritual Spring Water and let him be.

With Hei Lie keeping watch, it was good.

She would be busy all night and might need to move in and out of the space continuously. Having Hei Lie outside on watch would ensure no interruptions.

Indeed, she already had a plan.

When a person’s circulation, respiration, and brain function are severely suppressed to the point that life is barely perceptible, ordinary methods cannot determine if the person is still alive.

Only an EEG or an X-ray machine could reveal whether these individuals still had vital signs.

So, she intended to take these people into her space one by one for examination.

As the night deepened, the spacious and dim hall, occupied with corpses, witnessed a woman in red continuously appearing and disappearing.

Hei Lie stood at the door, devoid of any sleepiness.

The early winter night was somewhat cold, but Hei Lie stood upright, his eyes ceaselessly surveying the surroundings.

At that moment, a strange noise came from the hall.

It seemed the corpses were rolling, or perhaps the dead were awakening.

Anyone else might have been unable to resist peeking, perhaps even scared to death by now.

But Hei Lie was a man of strong principles.

Though curious, he was able to resist the urge to look.

Not until the first streak of dawn did Hei Lie finally yawn.

Suddenly, a muffled grunt of a man came from inside the hall.

Thinking of Qi Yue still inside with those soldiers who could kill, Hei Lie could no longer hold back.

“Master, Master, how are you? Are you alright?”
