Chapter 22: The Dead Village

When the secret guards saw that Shen Muyao had brought a woman and a child back, they were still a little surprised. But no one asked, but they all silently prepared an extra dry food. Shen Muyao briefly told everyone about the situation, everyone was clear, and the eyes looking at the mother and son were also a lot more friendly. There was a pheasant that had just been hunted today, and Ah You handed Xiaotian a chicken leg, and he took it timidly. Xiaotian didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten meat, and he was reluctant to bite the chicken leg while holding it, so he still tore off a piece of it when he saw that it was going to be cold. Shen Muyao felt sorry for him and gave him his own meat: "Eat." ”

Xiaotian glanced at her in surprise and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Shen Muyao looked at him, and her heart felt a little sad. Such a child, who was supposed to go to school at this time, help his parents work, and have a peaceful and happy life, was forced to be so displaced by the war and uprooted his hometown. In this world, how many such "little heavens" are there, and how many such families are divided and have nowhere to go? She didn't dare to think about it.

At this time, she felt more and more that what Xiao Heng was fighting for was so important. Xiao Heng went to the happiness of the people in the world, what about her? As his wife, can she only hide behind him and wait for those glory and wealth? No, she doesn't. She can save Xiaotian, and she can also protect more such hard-working children.

She also wants to save the people, and she also wants to help Xiao Heng.

A firm thought was gradually planted in her heart.

The mountain is not big, and you will reach the foot of the mountain after two or three days of walking. Shen Muyao and his party walked for a long time before they realized that something seemed to be wrong.

It's too quiet, it's not quiet, it's a dead silence.

They were vigilant, and the guards tightened their swords in their hands. A plaque appeared in front of him with the words "Yangxin Village" written in large numbers. Yes, it's a village, how can it be so lonely?

It's been a while since I walked into this small village, but there is still no movement. Shen Muyao gradually relaxed a little, maybe the people here moved out, and the village died like this. But before she could say anything to relax, she heard a cough and wheezing.

It came from the hut on the left. The cough seemed to be contagious, and then there was a cough from all directions. Everyone's nerves tensed again, Shen Muyao and Ah You exchanged glances, and walked to the door of a hut: "Is anyone there?" ”

No one answered. She moved to another room: "Is anyone home?" ”

This time there was a rustling sound. Someone walked to the door, but did not open it, but a hoarse voice sounded behind the door: "Let's go, let's go, stay in this place and die sooner or later!" ”

Shen Muyao saw that someone answered, beckoned to summon a few secret guards, and asked again: "We are passers-by passing through here, what is going on?" Why is there so much silence in the village? ”

The other party was silent for a long time, and when Shen Muyao thought that he was no longer there, a long sigh came: "Someone went up the mountain a month ago, and after coming back, he got a strange disease, and somehow he was infected. There are a lot of people in this village, and it's been passed on, and that's it. ”

Shen Muyao said: "Isn't there a doctor to heal?" ”

The other party laughed twice: "Doctor? How can I afford a doctor? I came here with two so-called court doctors, but after a few glances, they said that they were hopeless, and blocked the road and didn't let us out...... What kind of people are they? ”

The man paused, and then said, "Let's go, it will affect your ......."

Several secret guards glanced at each other and decided to leave, not to miss the journey. Everyone got on the horse one after another, but Shen Muyao was still standing there. Ah You shouted to her: "Miss Shen, let's go!" ”

Shen Muyao stood in place, her heart knotted in a thousand ways.

She is a healer, a doctor, and she can't see anyone die in front of her. Xiao Heng, Ah Qing's father, was saved by her. But can she save one person or two people, can she save the people of this village? What's more, it's not a minor illness or pain, it's contagious, and if you're not careful, you'll take your own life.

Is it necessary?

But she couldn't imagine what kind of misery would happen behind this door. There may be people dying and struggling, mothers holding their children's hands to white-haired people to black-haired people, husbands holding their wives and weeping bitterly, and that boundless despair spreads throughout the village.

She is a doctor, and it is her responsibility to heal the sick and save people. Whether there are many people or not, whether the disease is difficult to treat or not, she has to give it a try.

This is the most basic quality of a healer.

She made up her mind and turned away: "I'm not leaving. It is my Shen Muyao's duty to treat the sick and save people. I can't die without help. ”

Everyone was stunned. And who wouldn't want to help? But their strength is too weak, and they can only choose to leave, choosing the most advantageous and feasible. Ah You persuaded first: "Miss Shen, you also listened, this whole village has been infected, and if you get together, it will increase your own danger, not to mention that you have saved so many people?" ”

"If you can't save it, you have to save it. I am a doctor, and I can't leave every patient in front of me behind. I'll stay, and you go. ”

Ah You saw that her heart was determined and she didn't know what to say. On the contrary, the woman thought for a moment and said, "Miss Shen is right, so many people died in front of me, and I have a troubled conscience for the rest of my life. I also stayed. ”

Xiaotian followed his mother. Seeing this, Ah You didn't say anything anymore, just silently dismounted. Other brothers also landed one after another.

Shen Muyao smiled, she believed that someone would support her. She didn't dare to delay, turned around and asked the man again: "Hello, I'm a doctor, can I help you take a look?" Maybe I can help you. ”

The man probably didn't expect her to leave yet, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Girl, this disease is not easy to treat, don't take it personally." ”

Shen Muyao shook her head: "I'm not afraid." ”

I'm not afraid, because I'm a doctor, and if I don't help, who will save me.
