The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 227 Meeting Doctor Wu

The woman stood up excitedly and ran out, shouting as she ran, "Everyone come out! The government has sent people to rescue you!"

Li Muxia looked helplessly at the person who had run away. "Auntie, you still haven't told me where Doctor Wu is."

"Never mind, we'll see Fang Zheng soon anyway," Li Muxia said, returning to Dongfang Jincheng's side. "Your Highness, we don't need to promote it ourselves this time; someone has already done it for us."

Thanks to the woman's persuasion, people soon ran out.

A man grabbed the woman and asked excitedly, "Widow Wang, is what you're saying true?"

Widow Wang looked at the man and gestured with her lips in the direction of Li Muxia and the others.

The man looked in that direction and saw Dongfang Jincheng and his group.

He instantly believed Widow Wang's words and joined her in calling for help.

Dongfang Jincheng and his group stopped walking, as people had already gathered around them, supporting each other.

An older man asked, "Are you really sent by the government to treat us?"

Dongfang Jincheng didn't speak, he just nodded.

This caused a stir among the crowd, with some even bursting into tears.

Li Muxia knew that these people had already sentenced themselves to death before they arrived. Now that they had a chance to live, their feelings were unimaginable—the joy of surviving against all odds.

Just as Li Muxia was about to ask where Doctor Wu was, she saw a man being helped out of the crowd.

Someone in the crowd said, "Dr. Wu has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia realized that this person was Wu Chenze, the doctor with a strong sense of justice.

Wu Chenze had been suffering from illness for three days, and even vomited blood this morning. He was about to give up on himself, and when he heard what Widow Wang said earlier, he still couldn't quite believe it. But now, seeing Dongfang Jincheng, hope was rekindled in his heart.

Perhaps, he still has the opportunity to continue treating and saving lives.

Seeing that Wu Chenze was almost in tears, Li Muxia stepped forward and took out the family letter written by Manager Wu.

"Dr. Wu, this is what Manager Wu asked me to give you."

Wu Chenze was only in his early twenties. He took the letter from home from Li Mucha with trembling hands.

"Thank you."

He didn't rush to look at it, but put the letter in his arms and looked up at Dongfang Jincheng.

"Your Highness Prince Rui, are you really here to heal everyone?"

Li Muxia turned to look at Dongfang Jincheng.

Dongfang Jincheng looked at the doctor who went deep into the epidemic area for the sake of the people and felt great respect for him.

"Dr. Wu, thank you."

Dongfang Jincheng's "thank you" stunned everyone present.

No one expected that the high and mighty Prince Rui would thank an ordinary citizen.

Only Wu Chenze felt a bittersweet feeling in his heart, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. He couldn't even remember the last time he had cried.

Prince Rui affirmed that it was the right thing for him to come here despite his parents' objections.

Li Muxia stepped forward and handed over her handkerchief.

Since Li Muxia was dressed as a man and wearing a mask, and Wu Chenze didn't have a handkerchief with him, he took the handkerchief from Li Muxia's hand.

Dongfang Jincheng frowned slightly when he saw Li Mucha hand the handkerchief to Wu Chenze.

After wiping away his tears, Wu Chenze realized it was a woman's handkerchief and looked at Li Muxia with some surprise.

"This……"

Li Muxia realized she had forgotten to change her handkerchief and said somewhat awkwardly, "This is my maid's handkerchief. It's alright, it's new, you can use it."

Wu Chenze felt a little awkward. He had never used a woman's handkerchief before and was embarrassed. He blushed and said, "Then I'll return it to you after I wash it."

Li Muxia waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's okay, you can take it. I have more."

Watching the interaction between the two, Dongfang Jincheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He interrupted, saying, "Immortal Physician, Doctor Wu."

The two people who were talking looked at Dongfang Jincheng when they heard someone call their names.

Soon, people in the crowd shouted, "The Immortal Healer! He is the Immortal Healer!"

Wu Chenze also looked at Li Mucha: "You. You. You are the Immortal Healer."

Li Muxia: "..." Didn't she introduce herself?

"Well, I guess so."

Everyone: What do you mean by "I guess so"?

When everyone arrived at Wu Chenze's place, Wu Chenze still couldn't believe it.

"Are you really a divine healer?"

Seeing the light in Wu Chenze's eyes, Li Muxia felt as if she had recovered from her illness.

"Yes."

Wu Chenze was so excited that he couldn't speak.

He really is a divine healer! Ah, Father, I've met a divine healer!

Li Muxia looked at the excited Wu Chenze and placed her hand on his pulse.

"Okay, calm down first. Your pulse is beating too fast right now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chenze tried his best to calm himself down.

After examining Wu Chenze's pulse, Li Mucha wrote a prescription based on his pulse and handed it over to her subordinates to prepare the medicine.

Wu Chenze took this opportunity to exchange medical knowledge with Li Mucha.

However, some people didn't give him that opportunity.

After Li Muxia finished taking his pulse, she asked, "Xia Mu, are you done here?"

Li Muxia nodded at Dongfang Jincheng and said, "Okay, all done."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Then let's go."

Li Muxia immediately realized what was happening and followed Dongfang Jincheng with her first-aid kit.

Wu Chenze already knew the purpose of Li Mucha and the others' visit, and got up to go with them.

Li Muxia quickly said, "Dr. Wu, you rest here and I'll give you another check-up when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chenze, who had just stood up halfway, sat down again and nodded obediently.

Li Muxia smiled slightly, turned around, and left with Dongfang Jincheng.

Dongfang Jincheng saw the interaction between the two and was very unhappy to see Li Muxia being close to another man.

The three imperial physicians got busy as Li Muxia instructed. Fortunately, they had brought enough people and herbs with them this time.

Three imperial physicians were seeing patients in a farmhouse, and the villagers were very cooperative in queuing up for their appointments.

Some young medicine boys served the prepared medicine to everyone.

Cui'er and Hong'er didn't come along; Li Muxia left the two of them in town to help out.

At first, the two were unwilling, but in the end, they were persuaded by Li Muxia.

Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia arrived at the home of Wang Fugui, who had initially shown symptoms.

There is no one left in Wang Fugui's family. People in the village say that her family members have all died of illness.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, Li Muxia sighed softly.

The two searched Wang Fugui's house but found nothing unusual. They also inquired with nearby villagers about the situation at Wang Fugui's home, but found nothing amiss.

Moreover, Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng searched Wang Fugui's house thoroughly but didn't find a single rat, not even a rat hole.

Li Muxia muttered to herself, "Could it really be that I misjudged?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng said, "It's also possible that it wasn't contracted at home."

Li Muxia nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's possible."

Just as the two were about to leave, Li Muxia caught a glimpse of a well to the left of Wang Fugui's front door.
