After three rounds of drinking, the three staff officers had almost expressed their opinions, and the brothers Chen Hu and Chen Yong were half drunk and half awake, but they were still toasting General Xiao.

Just then, a guard came to report that the number of wounded was more than expected, and the city’s medical clinic was overwhelmed. Now the wounded were gathered at the city gate and complaining bitterly.

Chen Hu sobered up instantly, grabbed the sword beside him and slammed the table, "Brother Xiao, I'll go check the situation!"

Chen Yong stood up and said, "I'll go too."

"Please be patient." General Xiao raised his hand and pressed, motioning them to sit down first.

The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled account for a large proportion of the population in Qingshan City. Most of the doctors in the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinics are in their sixties. They are good at treating typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, but once they have to see blood and sit for a long time, they can't stand it.

There were ten clinics in total, four of which were requisitioned. Together with the army's accompanying doctors, there were six doctors in total, but they were still unable to handle the work. A big reason for this was that the old doctors in the city were not very skilled and each patient took up too much of their time.

Staff Officer Lin pinched his brows and said, "Deputy General Chen, you don't know any medical skills, so what's the point of going there? This matter cannot be solved by force."

The two brothers remained silent, lowering their heads.

"I know medicine." A clear female voice came into the ears of several people.

Everyone's eyes fell on Nian Susu, and their puzzled looks seemed to say: Was she the one who was talking just now?

Even General Xiao was surprised. Nian Susu knew medicine? He didn't even know about it, and he had never heard Xiao Yunzheng mention it.

Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi were the calmest. They rolled their eyes around and also felt very strange. They wondered why they were shocked that a young girl knew medicine.

Could it be that they don’t know the identity of the young lady?

Then why were these high-ranking officials so polite to Miss Nian? Xiao Ning glanced at Chen Hu. Of course, except for the two days when he didn't give them food and drink, all other times, everyone was respectful and polite when they saw Miss Nian.

"Too..." Just as Chen Yong was about to speak, Chen Hu nudged his elbow. He reminded him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Watch your words."

Chen Yong swallowed the next two words he was about to say and changed his mouth to say, "Miss Nian knows medicine? Is that true?"

Nian Susu curled his lips confidently: "Of course."

-

Nian Susu was assigned to work in the largest medical clinic, Jixintang, and Xiaoning and Xiaozhi assisted her.

The three of them set out at dawn and arrived at Jixin Hall. They found a group of wounded people waiting for treatment at the door. Some of them could not even stand and lay on the ground groaning in pain.

They walked through the crowd and entered Jixin Hall, where there was only a gray-haired old man sitting in for consultation.

When the old man saw her, he smiled happily, prescribed medicine for the wounded man on his hand, and then started walking away from his previous place.

"Is this the young lady? General Xiao sent someone to greet me yesterday, saying that three girls would come today to help treat the wounded. When I heard that, I was so happy. Finally, there is someone who can help me share the burden." He smiled so hard that his eyes popped.

"There are still many things I don't understand. Please give me some advice, Chen Bo." Nian Susu was humble and smiled just the right amount.

Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi nodded and smiled as a greeting.

Uncle Chen nodded repeatedly. Another wounded person came in, and Uncle Chen asked her to familiarize herself with the environment before starting to work.

Nian Susu looked around. The layout of this clinic was simple and he could see it all at a glance.

She brought a small table, prepared paper and pen, sat upright, and asked Xiaozhi to bring the wounded in.

Nian Susu was full of confidence and determined to treat the wounded outside today. As a result, she stood up straight for a long time and her waist was sore, but Xiaozhi did not come back.

Although Uncle Chen moved slowly, three people in his queue came in and out, but still no one was interested in her.

Xiao Zhi came back with a bitter face and said aggrievedly, "Miss Nian, as soon as they heard that a girl was treating patients, they refused to come. Most of the reasons were two: one was that they thought you didn't understand medicine at all, and the other was that they thought your medical skills were not as good as Uncle Chen's. They would rather wait in line a little longer than come."

Xiao Ning was indignant: "What's wrong with girls? Who says girls can't compare to boys?"

These words came out of her mouth without her even realizing it. After she said it, she was stunned in shock and slowly closed her mouth.

Xiao Zhi rubbed the hem of her clothes and muttered, "What should I do then..."

"How about asking Uncle Chen to help talk to them?" Xiao Ning looked at the busy Uncle Chen, and an idea came to her mind, her eyes widened: "Or let General Xiao or Deputy General Du Chen come and explain to them. As long as they know that Miss Nian is a professional, they will not reject it."

Nian Susu lowered his head, sighed, and began to think of a way while turning his pen. If she wanted to make them believe in her ability, she must rely on herself. No matter how much others said, it was just giving her false reputation. Not only would she not gain respect from others, but it would be counterproductive.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoning stared at her eagerly, but couldn't think of a solution for a while.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside and the wounded waiting in line were thrown into chaos.

"Doctor Chen! Help!"

"Doctor Chen! Come and save him!"

There were constant cries for help outside the door.

The wounded man sitting opposite Uncle Chen was not as seriously injured as himself, so he quickly stood up and helped him out.

Nian Susu frowned, "Let's go! Let's go and take a look too!"

The three of them moved quickly, pushing and shoving their way into the crowd.

Uncle Chen was surrounded in the middle. A little girl was pale, with purple lips and wet body, and looked like she had just been pulled out of the water. Kneeling next to the little girl was a middle-aged woman, crying heartbreakingly, "Uncle Chen! Please save my daughter! She is only seven years old! Please save her!"

Uncle Chen lifted the little girl's eyelids with trembling hands, sighed and shook his head, took her pulse, sighed and shook his head again, his face heavy.

"It's useless." Chen Bo let go of his hand and looked at the girl's mother with a guilty look.

The mother threw herself on the girl, hugged her and cried, "My daughter! My poor child!"

Uncle Chen was helped to stand up and took a few steps back. Everyone looked at the mother and daughter with pity.

Those fished out of the water are basically beyond saving. It has been like this since ancient times, so when people bring them here, they already know the outcome.

"Wait a minute!" Nian Susu walked out of the crowd and came to the mother and daughter under everyone's gaze. "Let me try myself." She said to the mother with tears streaming down her face.

The mother was stunned for a moment, looked down at her daughter in her arms, sobbed a few times, and was about to agree, but she heard an opposing voice from the crowd: "The person has died, so don't make a fuss, let her leave peacefully!"

"Yeah! Why are you, a girl, joining in the fun?"

The voices of opposition grew louder and louder, and the mother began to waver.
