Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife Chapter 868

As Long As They Are Not Dead, They Must Be Saved!

Inside the medical tent, Feng Yu Heng did not stop moving, as she asked Xuan Tian Feng: “Has sixth brother eaten yet?”

Xuan Tian Feng sighed, “I have.” As he spoke, he saw Feng Yu Heng put something that had been placed to the side inside her mouth. He was curious and asked: “What is that?”

Feng Yu Heng pulled out another one from her sleeve and handed it to him: “It suppresses hunger. It's a snack that can replenish energy. Sixth brother, try some.”

How could a grown man like Xuan Tian Feng eat the snacks of a young girl? He did not go to receive it and instead turned his attention to Feng Yu Heng's movements. He watched her roll up the sleeve of someone that had come to have their “blood type tested.” she then wrapped a band made of a strange material around the upper arm before poking a needle that was connected to a clear tube into the flesh. The blood in that person's body flowed through the needle into the tube. When the tube was more than half filled, the tube was placed to the side. The band was then removed along with the needle. A cotton ball was then used to cover the bloody hole. The person whose blood was drawn was then told to hold it down for a little while longer.

He watched this process a few times and gradually began to understand, thus he took the initiative to say: “How about I help you draw some? You go and eat some food. The blood that I have drawn, I will put to this side. After you finish eating, you can go and test the type of the blood or something.” After saying this, he was worried that Feng Yu Heng would not trust him and quickly added: “I really can do it. If you don't believe me, how about watching me try once?”

While speaking, a new person had just entered and sat across from the two. When that person heard these words, they immediately said: “Alright! Allow His Highness Prince Xian try it! Just try it on me. It's nothing more than a small needle. It's fine if I get poked a few times.” He then looked at Feng Yu Heng and said: “Just now, after one of our comrades came out of the tent, they said that imperial daughter has not rested yet for the sake of treating the injured. From morning until late at night, you have not eaten a single bite of food. We are all worried about you! Just let His Highness Prince Xian try it. In any case, he can take over for a shift.”

Feng Yu Heng felt very moved. Something had happened at the jade mine, and the comrades of these people were buried below; however, they did not assign any blame on the owner of the mine. Instead, they took the initiative to line up to have their blood types tested in order to donate blood. Now, they were worried about her health. Sure enough, human hearts are made of flesh. If you treat them well, they will not fail to understand.

She did not continue to endure and told Xuan Tian Feng about the procedure for drawing blood. She then had Xuan Tian Feng go it once for the man's arm. In truth, the doctors of Hundred Herb Hall could be taught very quickly how to draw blood, but they were lacking in manpower. Those doctors were still busy with treating external injuries. Moreover, the blood still had to be tested after it was drawn. That sort of machine had things written in English, and she did not believe that there would be anyone that could learn how to use it in such a short period of time. If something went wrong, that would cost someone their life. That was why she did not sit idly by and went to personally take care of this.

There were none in the Xuan family that were very stupid, and Xuan Tian Feng's mind was even better. On the second attempt with that man's arm, he had already figured it out and successfully drew half a tube of blood.

Feng Yu Heng let out a sigh of relief and did not continue to argue. As a result, she found a corner and began to eat the bowl of noodle soup that Huang Quan had brought in. During this time, Xuan Tian Feng had turned around to take a look at her. He saw that the girl's hair was a bit scattered, and she would just casually use her sleeve to wipe away any sweat that appeared on her brow. She did not have any appearance of being a daughter of a noble family. He smiled and felt a bit more resolute in his decision to leave his powers in the capital to come and teach in Ji An Prefecture.

Only by following someone like this could he have any hope in the future. This was the conclusion that Xuan Tian Feng had reached.

Imperial Daughter Ji An had finally eaten. News of this was spread, and the people were very happy. They even discussed not carrying any more injured people for a while to avoid the smell of blood disturbing imperial daughter's appetite.

But Feng Yu Heng ate the noodles very quickly and had downed it all after just a short period of time. The wounded did not wait for too long, and they were quickly carried into the tent.

If people were being carried in, there would be people getting carried out. Fortunately, up to the present moment, those that were carried out of the main medical tent had most of their injuries treated. They were people that could be transferred to the common medical tents. There had not been any that could not be treated and died. The people watched as people who had been severely injured were saved. They could not help but feel a bit of admiration for Imperial Daughter Ji An and Hundred Herb Hall.

With Xuan Tian Feng's help, Feng Yu Heng's blood tests progressed very smoothly. While she tested the blood, she also tested the blood of those that needed blood. This work lasted for one day and one night.

Xuan Tian Feng wanted to advise her once more to rest for a bit and get a bit of sleep. People could not continue without food and also could not go without sleep. But in the end, he did not say anything because those that were dug out as time went on were injured even more severely. He knew that once work stopped because they needed to rest, there would immediately be people to lose their lives because they did not receive treatment in time. Feng Yu Heng treated everyone's life equally. He, Xuan Tian Feng, also did not have any habit of determining someone's life because of their status, thus he could only hasten his movements. After drawing blood from everyone that had come to get their blood type tested, he immediately began thinking about learning a new ability to help out.

But the remaining medical work was too specialized, thus he could not continue to remain in the medical tent. There were still many things that needed to be handled. The families of those that were injured or died needed to be comforted. He felt that leaving it to any other person would have a less-ideal outcome. Even if Qian Feng Shou went, he would be unable to settle the scene. He, as a prince, would need to take this step.

Xuan Tian Feng took the initiative to take care of these matters. Inside the medical tent, Feng Yu Heng had personally begun carrying out operations. The medicine, infusions and needles that had been brought out at the start had almost been used up. While the people were not paying attention, she replenished some of the supplies. The people were completely occupied by the surgeries, and nobody noticed that the nearly empty medicine supplies had been filled up at some point.

Outside the tent, the rescue operation was still continuing nervously. Wave after wave of soldiers and citizens went into the disaster area. Fortunately, there had not been another landslide. The people also felt a bit more at ease.

At the site of the disaster, four of the male rescuers gathered together. Two of them were not very young and looked to be in their 40s. While they dug, they asked: “Why would it suddenly collapse yesterday? Wasn't it said that it would be collapsed in two days after all of our people had been pulled out? Why do it ahead of time? Why is it that we knew nothing about it?”

The one that spoke was one of the older men. He tightly furrowed his brow and had a look of anger at the two younger men, asking: “Do you know what the mine being collapsed early means?”

The other middle-aged person also said: “It was a plan that had been clearly set. Two days later meant two days later. In the end, who gave you the right to set it off early?”

The two younger people had cold expressions, as they said without a shred of emotion: “Naturally, it would be His Highness the eighth prince. We are all working for His Highness the eighth prince. How could we possibly listen to another person's instructions.”

“But… why?” The other two were puzzled, “What exactly is the reason for this?”

“There's no reason.” The young person said: “His Highness the eighth prince did not think that Imperial Daughter Ji An would be able to cause such a big stir over here. Even the Teng family completely rounded up. His Highness was extremely angry, thus he decided that he would no longer wait. He informed us to make a move early.”

“You couldn't wait for two days?” The middle-aged man angrily threw down the shovel in his hands, “Did you know that my son is still in there!”

“These were all orders from His Highness. There's no use yelling at us. His Highness said to immediately cause the collapse, thus it was done immediately, regardless of what people were inside.”

“Then what exactly have we been working for His Highness for?” That person felt extremely regretful, “Thinking entirely for His Highness the eighth prince, even the family's money has been sent to help His Highness the eighth prince, but what did it get in return? We support him in his desire to deal with Imperial Daughter Ji An, but there is a limit to the support. The life of my son cannot be added in!”

“Right!” The other middle-aged person also stood up, “I only have one son. He was buried in the mine, and even if he did not die, he will have been severely injured. In the future, I'm afraid that he can't be relied upon to do anything. With no hope left in my son, there will be no hope left for me. No matter how much His Highness the eighth prince promises, we would not have anything to celebrate.” He threw down his tool and turned to leave. His partner also followed behind him. The two left without saying a single word, just leaving the two young men standing there in a daze.

The people being rescued were becoming more and more severely wounded. Wang Lin was responsible for the distribution of medicine for all of the medical tents. After all, there was a limit to the number of doctors available. It was impossible to treat them immediately after they were carried out. There were countless injured laying outside the tents. Each of them had a piece of at-least-100-year-old ginseng in their mouth. Medicine was being used to extend their lives. But old ginseng was a valuable thing, and there was a limit to the supplies. Even if they were cut into thin slices, there was not enough. Eventually, they began to run out.

There was nothing that Wang Lin could do and went to Feng Yu Heng's side to ask for instructions and to see if some money should be taken from the accounts to buy some from the other medical clinics in Yu Zhou City. But after calculating it, even if all of the ginseng from the medical clinics was purchased, it would not be much. After all, it was not every medical clinic was quite as stable as Hundred Herb Hall and could bring out tens of pieces of it.

After Feng Yu Heng heard this, she frowned and thought for a bit before saying: “I have some here. Wait for a moment, and I'll go grab some for you.” She turned around and went to the corner where her medicine kit was placed. In truth, that medicine kit was just there to divert attention for her. Whenever she wanted to get something, she would go over there to fetch it. In truth, she was grabbing things from inside her space.

This time, she simply plundered all of the ginseng inside her pharmacy. After waiting for a while, she waited for it to be automatically replenished before taking out some more. After calculating it, there were roughly 100 pieces of ginseng. It was all placed inside a bag then handed to Wang Lin: “Go ahead and use this! I will emphasize it once more. Life is important. Ginseng, although valuable, it's just a normal thing in the face of life. Remember that even if all of Hundred Herb Hall's medicine and funds are used up, life is still most important. As long as the person is not dead, we will save them! Use these for now. If there isn't enough, just come here to get more.”

In truth, Feng Yu Heng had deliberately chosen to say these things. Using some ginseng would not make her any poorer. To her, she could have as much as she wanted. There would never be an end to it. The reason that she deliberately said these things was that there were a few people that had come to donate blood and were about to leave the tent. She hoped that these people would spread the word about her stance to everyone. First, it would bring some hope to the injured. Second, it would help calm the family members of the wounded. At this sort of time, the families must not cause a disturbance. Once they did, it would quickly get out of hand.

Seven days later…
