Chapter 433: Your ingratitude is my unforgivable offense
Fang Xiaoxiao picked up a stack of silver notes on the table, looked at them, and put them back down.
She now felt that it was better not to take the money, but to let Miss Su use it to buy medicinal herbs.
Firstly, they could save more people in the city, and secondly, they could win some favor from Miss Su.
While waiting for the other person to wake up, Wan Wuyao told her about the current situation of the Su family.
The Su family is in the cloth business and is the largest cloth supplier in the entire Dayu Dynasty. Their assets are countless, and they can be described as being richer than a country.
At this moment, Miss Su saw her put the silver notes back on the table and mistakenly thought it was because she had given too little, so she asked.
"Little Sister Xiao, is this money too little?"
Fang Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, Miss Su, please don't misunderstand. I just think this money shouldn't be given to me, but should be used to help more people in need."
"Right now, the people in the city are all being destroyed by this epidemic. We are also doctors. As the saying goes, doctors have the heart of parents and saving lives is like putting out a fire."
Upon hearing this, Su Muwan looked at her as if she were a saint.
In my memory, I have never met anyone who cares so much about the people, let alone a woman. Her talent far surpasses that of many others.
Hearing this, Su Muwan felt a surge of passion in her heart, stood up, grabbed her hand, and spoke earnestly and sincerely.
“Sister, what a wonderful saying, ‘A doctor’s heart is like a parent’s, and saving lives is like putting out a fire.’ I never expected to meet such a saintly person as you in these chaotic times.”
"..."
It feels so good, I don't know why.
Fang Xiaoxiao felt a little proud for a moment after being praised, but she quickly composed herself and spoke in a dignified manner.
"Oh, sister, please don't say that. I am unworthy of the title of sage."
The two chatted idly for about fifteen minutes until Benwanwuyao pushed open the door, at which point they stopped their mutual flattery.
Wan Wuyao smiled and looked at Su Muwan, who was still recovering well.
"Miss Su, you're finally awake."
"Dr. Wan, thank you for your miraculous healing skills that saved me from the brink of death."
Su Muwan instinctively thought that the plague she was suffering from was incurable, and Fang Xiaoxiao was Wan Wuyao's apprentice.
Wan Wuyao waved his hand and shook his head, pointing at Fang Xiaoxiao sitting to the side and saying with a smile.
"Miss Su's illness is beyond my ability to cure!"
"Hmm? What do you mean by that, Doctor Wan?"
"It is Fang Niangzi's miraculous healing. Her medical skills are far superior to mine, and it was also Fang Niangzi who led the research and development of a treatment for the epidemic."
Every word and phrase seemed to possess a magical power, making Su Muwan once again captivated by the beautiful woman before her.
She had only thought Fang Xiaoxiao was a very talented person, but she never imagined that it was Fang Xiaoxiao who cured her of her disease.
The conversation she had just had with Fang Xiaoxiao was nothing more than a casual chat between women who felt like they had known each other for a long time.
Su Muwan stood up from the stool again, held Fang Xiaoxiao's small hands tightly, and looked at her sincerely.
"Little sister Xiao, I never expected your medical skills to be so amazing. I sincerely express my gratitude here. You pulled me back from the brink of death. From now on, you will be my dearest person."
Looking at this woman with a mature and sophisticated appearance, a slightly plump chest, a well-proportioned figure, and a pretty face, Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but secretly glance at her own chest.
“Since you say so, sister, then it would be impolite of me to refuse. I am a lonely person with seven worthless husbands and no elder sisters in my family. I am naturally happy to have an elder sister here.”
Su Muwan seemed to automatically filter the content of the other person's words. She did not take Fang Xiaoxiao's seven husbands to heart. Instead, she felt quite sympathetic when she heard the other person say that she had no father, mother, brothers, or elders.
A pair of bright, sparkling eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her expression was full of sympathy.
"Waaah, it must have been so hard for you all these years, growing up alone. It's not easy at all. I'm also someone who has no older brothers, sisters, or mother, so I can really understand the bitterness in your heart."
"..."
Fang Xiaoxiao wanted to break free from Su Muwan's embrace, but it was too comfortable and soft, and she unconsciously embraced and became immersed in it.
As a time traveler, she didn't have a deep impression of her parents from her previous life. After all, they had died long ago when she first came here, so she couldn't feel their love. As for her older brothers and sisters, she had always longed for them since she was a child. In modern times, most people born in the 1990s were only children and had never experienced the love from their older brothers and sisters other than their parents.
Russian qing.
Su Muwan held Fang Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, and listened to Wan Wuyao recount how to save the people of Suzhou from their suffering, acting like an older sister.
Wan Wuyao coughed lightly twice, then spoke.
"Since Madam Fang has selflessly provided the prescription, I will go ahead and discuss the procurement of medicinal herbs with the old master of the Su family."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Wan. I thank you in advance."
Fang Xiaoxiao stood up and respectfully saw Wan Wuyao off.
The next morning.
Miss Su had fully recovered and began to work with Fang Xiaoxiao to arrange for the treatment of the people in the city.
And good news followed one after another.
First, Pei Yan found Fang Xiaoxiao and told her that he had contacted the prefect through Master Li. The prefect was furious and protested upon learning that the troops stationed outside the city were going to massacre the entire city of Suzhou, and decided to write a letter to the imperial court.
After listening to Pei Yan's story, Fang Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said.
"We must not alert them. There should be spies stationed both inside and outside the city. We need to find them first, and then figure out a way to move the people in the city to a safe place."
"Why do this? You should just have the prefect submit a petition to the court and have them send someone over."
“Pei Yan, you’re thinking too simply. Logically speaking, how could the imperial court not know about such a rampant plague? The fact that the court hasn’t sent anyone over yet means that the court doesn’t care about the lives of the people. It’s better to rely on ourselves than on the court.”
"But how can we possibly fight against this armed and brutal garrison?"
Pei Yan said with concern.
Fang Xiaoxiao shook her head, indicating that there was no way to tough it out at the moment; she could only take it one step at a time and prepare for the worst.
In her mind, since the court was doing nothing and there were menacing troops outside the city ready to massacre the inhabitants, such a disastrous start would be useless no matter who was in charge. It would be better to save people first, then move all the civilians to a safe place, so that the troops outside the city would mistakenly believe that everyone in the city was dead, and then trap them when they finally chose to enter the city to loot.
Having made up her mind, Fang Xiaoxiao decided to wait and see how things unfolded.
Pei Yan nodded and went to the prefectural government office to inform the prefect.
Watching Pei Yan leave, Fang Xiaoxiao was filled with mixed emotions. She knew that the most important thing now was to save people, and she would save as many as possible.
At this moment, Wan Wuyao, who had gone out to purchase medicinal herbs, hurried over.
Wan Wuyao's face showed joy.
He said this as soon as he saw Fang Xiaoxiao.
"Madam Fang, this is great! We will soon be able to replenish the medicinal herbs we need."
Fang Xiaoxiao gave an "oh" and turned to look at Wan Wuyao, whose face was covered in sweat.
Wan Wuyao recounted his experiences of going out to purchase medicine and collaborating with other wealthy merchants to open herbal medicine shops.
After hearing his description, Fang Xiaoxin had a better idea: an eye for an eye.
Previously, the garrison outside the city threw the plague-stricken corpses into the city. Now she wants to throw all the plague-stricken corpses in the city back to these people, so that they can also experience the terror of the plague.
She even decided to use the bacterial division methods she learned in college to extract the plague and spread it in the military camp.
If you are unkind, I will not care; I will simply live my own life this way.
