Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Start Treatment (2)
Seeing that none of them came out, the little girl pulled a boy out and said, “Elder Brother, you kept coughing last night. How about letting Elder Sister treat you?”

The boy didn’t answer and coughed again. The little girl then pulled him to sit on the stool. Seeing the boy’s pale face from coughing, Duan Yixin knew that the boy must have been infected with the plague. She took the disinfectant water from her leather bag and washed her hands.

Then, Duan Yixin put on surgical gloves and said to the boy, “Little brother, don’t be afraid. Put your hand on the pulse pillow.”

The boy looked at the little girl, who nodded to him and then placed his wrist on the pulse pillow. Seeing that the boy looked calm, Duan Yixin began to check the boy’s pulse seriously. Different from when she checked the little girl’s pulse, this time, it took Duan Yixin three minutes before she withdrew her fingers from the boy’s wrist.

Seeing her serious expression, Chi Xinru lowered her voice and asked, “What’s wrong? Has he contracted the plague?”

Duan Yixin nodded and then took out a bottle of medicine and a bamboo tube filled with water from her purse. She looked at Chi Xiyou and asked, “Elder Brother Xiyou, can you find me a few clean bowls?”

Chi Xiyou nodded and left. Soon, he came back with several clean earthen bowls. He put the bowl on the table and asked, “Do you still need more? I can buy a few more bowls from those porridge stalls.”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “Most refugees have their own bowls, so we don’t need too many.”

After saying that, she poured the water into the bowl and opened the lid of the medicine bottle.

She poured out a white round pill from the medicine bottle and said, “Drink this medicine.”

The boy hesitated for a moment, then obediently opened his palm. Duan Yixin put the medicine in his hand and handed him the bowl of water. As she watched the boy swallow the medicine, the refugees also turned their attention to them.

Seeing that the boy had drunk all the water, Duan Yixin said, “Little brother, remember to come back tomorrow.”

The boy nodded and got off the stool. Because she couldn’t let anyone else use the same bowl as him, Duan Yixin said, “Little brother, this bowl is for you. You can use it to get porridge from the porridge stalls later.”

Hearing this, the boy raised his eyes and looked at Duan Yixin. After a few seconds of silence, he took the empty bowl and bowed at Duan Yixin without saying a word.

Seeing that the boy could get the medicine without spending money, other children also asked Duan Yixin to check their pulse. Twenty minutes later, Duan Yixin had finished checking all the children. After the children finished drinking the medicine, got their prescription, and left, Duan Yixin fell into deep thought.

She looked at the refugees who were looking at her secretly and thought, ‘Fortunately, the plague is not difficult to cure. With the medicines in my warehouse, making the medicine for the plague should be no problem. However, I need to find out how it spreads so I can develop a method to prevent it from spreading any further. Otherwise, no matter how much medicine I have in my warehouse, it won’t be enough.’

While she was thinking, the woman who had spoken to her before came over while supporting a thin man. Duan Yixin saw that besides the woman, there was a teenage boy who was also supporting the thin man.

She looked at the woman and said, “Madam, please let the patient sit down.”

The woman and the boy helped the man sit on a stool, and then the woman said, “Young Lady, this is my husband. He has been ill since we arrived at the refugee camp three days ago.”

Duan Yixin nodded, feeling the man’s pulse and asking, “What are the symptoms?”

The woman thought for a while and said, “Three days ago, my husband suddenly had a high fever, headache, chills, and cough. A few hours later, he started vomiting and diarrhea. He also said that his stomach hurt. Today, he woke up and said he had difficulty breathing and began to experience muscle and joint pain.”

After the woman reported her husband’s symptoms, she waited patiently for Duan Yixin to check her husband’s pulse.

Two minutes later, Duan Yixin retracted her fingers and said, “Madam, your husband is infected with the plague. I have medicine here, but the medicine can only relieve his symptoms. Since I didn’t bring any medicine besides these, I could only stabilize his condition today.”

Hearing this, the woman said excitedly, “Young Lady, as long as the medicine can alleviate his symptoms, I’m already very grateful to you.”

After saying that, the woman paused and asked hesitantly, “How– how much does the medicine cost?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “You don’t have to pay for the medicine. It’s not easy for everyone to survive after the flood. This is the least help I can do.”

After the plague spread, medicine became more important than food and water. Duan Yixin gave them the medicine for free, which was equivalent to giving them a way to survive. When the woman and her son heard this, they quickly knelt on the ground, which shocked Duan Yixin.

Before the woman could touch her head to the ground, Duan Yixin quickly stopped her and said, “Madam, please stand up.”

The woman refused to get up and five Duan Yixin three deep bow, “Thank you very much, Young Lady. If it weren’t for you, my husband– he– he would be dead today.”

Duan Yixin looked at the woman’s crying face and said helplessly, “Madam, please stand up first.”

The woman finally stood up after Duan Yixin persuaded her for a while. She then held Duan Yixin’s hand and asked, “Young Lady, may I know what your name is?”
