Chapter VI Emergencies

The other side

After a morning, Ye Xiangquan also didn't understand something. Coming out of Yue Rongfei's side, he kept following Ning Sichen.

"General, don't check the spies?" Ye Xiangquan asked.

"For the rest of the people, Yue Rongfei will be responsible." Ning Sichen didn't mention Shu Qingyue at all.

Yue Rongfei wants to slack off on military discipline, and he can't control it.

As for Shu Qingyue, Ning Sichen didn't care too much.

The next few days were calm. However, the calmer it is, the more unsettling it becomes. It's like, the calm before the storm, as if something is going to happen.

The sky was slightly bright, and the army was ready to go.

"General Yue, more than 20 soldiers in the first battalion suddenly pulled up their stomachs, vomited and diarrhea, and even had a high fever." A soldier hurriedly ran to the front of the unit and reported to Yue Rongfei.

"Everybody's in place." Hearing this, Yue Rongfei's face changed, and he asked the other soldiers to stop in place. He asked the soldier as he walked to the back of the line. "What about the medics?"

"It's already there." The soldier replied.

Shu Qingyue followed behind Yue Rongfei.

Where people gather, the most feared thing is the outbreak of disease. A common cold or flu is fine, but if it is a contagious disease, it is bad.

Yue Rongfei and Shu Qingyue had just arrived, and Ning Sichen, who had received the news, also rushed over.

In the camp where we slept last night, a tent had not yet been dismantled, and there were more than 20 soldiers lying in it. The military doctor, with a face scarf over his face, treats the soldiers. All the soldiers were the same, because of vomiting and diarrhea, dehydration and strict zhòng.

Yue Rongfei wanted to enter the tent to check the soldier's situation, but was blocked out of the tent by the military doctor.

"How's it going?" Yue Rongfei asked.

"Vomiting and discharge, accompanied by a slight fever, this symptom ......" the military doctor is very cautious.

"Say." Yue Rongfei ordered.

"It's kind of like malaria." The military doctor said.

Malaria! Hearing those two words, everyone present was shocked.

"Are you sure?" Yue Rongfei asked again.

If malaria is really infected, not only these 20 or so soldiers, but the entire army of 100,000 people will be wiped out.

"Not sure yet." The military doctor is not very sure either.

The atmosphere suddenly became uneasy.

As if thinking of something, Yue Rongfei looked at Shu Qingyue.

It was too far away, and Shu Qingyue couldn't understand the specific situation of the soldiers.

"Go in and have a look." Shu Qingyue said.

When the summer, autumn and summer are humid, it is the time when mosquito poison and malaria are raging, if the human body is sucked by malaria mosquitoes, malaria invades and causes disease, and malaria may break out.

"Be careful." Yue Rongfei nodded, he took two face towels, one for himself and one for Shu Qingyue.

Shu Qingyue entered the military tent, Yue Rongfei followed, Ning Sichen watched the two of them enter, and also took a face towel from the military doctor to cover his face and walked into the tent.

Shu Qingyue came to a soldier, and she crouched down.

"Stretch out your hands and don't move." Shu Qingyue checked the soldier's complexion, and then asked the soldier to stretch out his hand, and pressed the index and middle fingers of her right hand on the soldier's wrist.

Yue Rongfei stood behind her, subconsciously holding his breath, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

According to records, the most recent malaria occurred more than ten years ago, when a village of thousands of people was not spared, and they should not be so unlucky!

Yue Rongfei and Shu Qingyue understood each other, and they didn't need to say anything to each other. Ning Sichen saw Shu Qingyue's actions and roughly understood what she was doing.

However, Ning Sichen still had some doubts in his heart.

In order to be more accurate, Shu Qingyue checked the physical condition of all the soldiers before facing Yue Rongfei.

"How? Is it malaria? Yue Rongfei asked anxiously and nervously.

"The symptoms are a bit like malaria, but not malaria." Shu Qingyue said.

"What's that?" Yue Rongfei asked again.

The military doctor also entered the tent and looked suspiciously at Shu Qingyue, who was dressed as an ordinary soldier in front of him.

"It should be that they ate unclean or poisonous things, and a few soldiers were infected with wind cold, so they had a fever." Shu Qingyue said.

Yue Rongfei breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't malaria, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"What did they eat yesterday?" Yue Rongfei questioned the heads of these soldiers.

"Cured meats, potatoes, that's all." The soldier replied quickly, pointing to the few pieces of cured meat that were still left, and a few uncooked potatoes.

Shu Qingyue walked over, checked the marinated meat, and turned a few more potatoes.

"Some of the potatoes sprouted, and I didn't pay attention when I was cooking, so I mixed them and cooked them together. Sprouted potatoes were poisonous, and the soldiers ate them to experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and diarrhea. Shu Qingyue was holding a sprouted potato in her hand.

A false alarm.

From beginning to end, Ning Sichen didn't speak, he just kept staring at Shu Qingyue. The incident happened suddenly, Yue Rongfei and Shu Qingyue's attention was on the sick soldier, and they didn't notice that Ning Sichen's eyes changed when he looked at Shu Qingyue.

It was also from this incident that Ning Sichen began to re-examine Shu Qingyue.

At this time, Ning Sichen became a little interested in Shu Qingyue.

If it is determined that it is not malaria, it is natural to continue on the road, and the speed of the march cannot be delayed because of dozens of soldiers.

"Doctor, these soldiers will be left to your care. After the illness is cured, catch up with the large army. Yue Rongfei entrusted the soldiers to the military doctor.

"General Yue, the old man sees that this soldier has good medical skills, it is better to leave him behind, it can be of great help." The military doctor refers to Shu Qingyue, he doesn't know her identity, he only says that this little soldier has a hand.

The military doctor never expected that his request would really give Yue Rongfei a problem.

Yue Rongfei had two responsibilities on this trip, one was to protect Shu Qingyue, and the other was to monitor Ning Sichen to ensure that the reinforcements arrived in Shanyang City safely. The task of supporting the front line is the most important, so far, Ning Sichen's intentions are unknown, Yue Rongfei can't break away from the army no matter what, and let Ning Sichen lead the army alone.

Leaving Shu Qingyue means that she wants to stay here alone.

But the requirements of the military doctor are also reasonable.

"Wind chill is also easily contagious, and you can't be sloppy. Otherwise, I'll stay. Shu Qingyue also saw Yue Rongfei's embarrassment, and after thinking about it, she said.

Shu Qingyue nodded to Yue Rongfei.

"Pay more attention to everything." Yue Rongfei told Shu Qingyue.

Yue Rongfei left behind the horses, and a small group of elite soldiers, as soon as they settled down and were about to return to the team, something happened to Ning Sichen's side.

"General Yue, you lead the team in front. I'll take them to catch up when it's all right. Ning Sichen said.

Ning Sichen's temporary decision was definitely something that Shu Qingyue and Yue Rongfei had not expected before.

It stands to reason that Ning Sichen has no need to stay at all, what is his idea?

But the matter has come to this, and Yue Rongfei is not good at changing his mind. If Shu Qingyue is taken away at this time, it will make people suspicious.
