Chapter 642

"Of course, of course. Thank you for the reminder, sir."

Hearing Bai Feng's words, Cao Ren suddenly remembered that Bai Feng's wine was very strong. He had only drunk two bowls of it when he had already lost consciousness.

If Bai Feng didn't remind them and let these soldiers drink a big bowl of it, wouldn't they be drunk?

If the Qiang people invaded, they might not even be able to hold their bows and arrows properly.

At this thought, Cao Ren smiled sheepishly and hurriedly issued instructions.

"Remember, just a sip is enough to warm your body. If anyone dares to drink too much, they will be punished according to military orders!"

Actually, drinking alcohol was strictly forbidden in the army, but this was a special situation. The north was just too cold, and without strong alcohol to warm their bodies, many of them would catch a cold.

"Sir, you don't know this, but we've only been here for a few days, and more than ten soldiers have already caught a cold.

"One of them has even contracted tuberculosis. From the looks of it, he won't be able to last more than a few days."

At this point, Cao Ren couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Tuberculosis was a disease that, once infected, was basically incurable.

At the very least, given the current medical standards, there was no way to treat them.

They could only wait for their deaths.

Not just tuberculosis, but even the cold would take a long time to recover. If they dragged on, they would definitely contract other diseases.

During this period of time, Cao Ren had been busy with this matter.

Cao Ren had also ordered the soldiers who had caught a cold not to defend the city, but to rest quickly.

The cold could be either contagious or non-contagious. If it was contagious, then it would be very dangerous.

There were so many people in the army, and they were all gathered together every day. If it was contagious, then it would be like a plague!

If that happened, the soldiers might not even be able to hold out before the Qiang Tribe arrived, much less the Qiang Tribe.

"Oh? There's such a thing? "

"Where are these soldiers now?"

Bai Feng frowned as he asked. He knew how serious the cold was during the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Ren sighed.

"They're being treated in the tent over there."

"Sir, if you want to take a look, please come with me."

After saying that, Cao Ren instructed the soldiers to stand guard at their posts and walked forward with Bai Feng.

Soon, the two of them stopped in front of a large tent.

There was even a bonfire burning in the tent to warm the soldiers as much as possible.

There were about fifteen to sixteen soldiers, all of them pale and sweating. Some of them were coughing non-stop.

The few doctors who followed the army rushed to treat these soldiers.

However, when Bai Feng saw their worried faces, she understood that these doctors were helpless.

This cold was especially difficult to treat. Even in the modern era, it was impossible to treat such a serious condition without a few days of saline drips.

Bai Feng sighed softly and said, "That's right.

"Physicians, please withdraw for the time being."

The physicians were taken aback. Bai Feng continued, "You've worked hard during this period of time.

Leave this place to me. "The physicians were still somewhat puzzled.

Cao Ren said in a rough voice, "You've all worked hard during this period of time.

"The Great General told you to rest, so hurry up and rest!"

Hearing this, the physicians hurriedly obeyed the order. After saluting, they hurriedly left the tent.

Bai Feng could not help frowning, saying,

"Zixiao, it's not easy for these physicians. Don't be so harsh on them. In the future, if diseases break out in the army, we'll still have to count on them to treat them."

Cao Ren, however, said in a carefree manner,

"What's not easy? Is it easier than us risking our lives and spilling our blood at the frontlines? "

Hearing this, Bai Feng could not help shaking his head and saying no more.

There was really no way to change the way of thinking of the ancients.

They valued agriculture and restrained commerce. Merchants, cooks, physicians and so on were all of the lowest class and were looked down upon.

As for officials or soldiers, they looked down on them even more.

Regarding this phenomenon, Bai Feng also knew that he could not correct them in a short time, so he could only give up on this topic.

He opened his mouth and said, "Zixiao, is that soldier with tuberculosis here too?"

Cao Ren nodded and said, "He's at the very edge.

"He's right on the edge. I tried to keep him as far away from the others as possible."

"He's been coughing badly for the past two days, and he's coughing up blood. If he infects others, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Bai Feng nodded and looked in the direction that Cao Ren pointed out.

Cao Ren was immediately stunned.

"Sir …"

Before Cao Ren could finish speaking, Bai Feng gestured for him to keep quiet and immediately went in front of the soldier with tuberculosis.

The soldier's face was completely lifeless. His face was pale, and there was not a trace of blood on his lips.

However, there was scarlet blood at the corner of his mouth.

It was obvious that the soldier's tuberculosis had spread deep into his internal organs. It was no wonder that Cao Ren said that there was no way to save him.

If this went on, the soldier would soon die, and the only outcome he could wait for was to be buried underground.

However, the soldier looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

It would be a pity if he died young because of this.

Bai Feng slowly activated the Divine Doctor Qi to check the condition of the soldier's body.

He could only say one word — very bad.

The black gas in his internal organs had already started to spread. In less than three days, this soldier would completely lose his vitality.

Fortunately, there was only one patient. Bai Feng quickly activated the Divine Doctor Qi on his arm and began to instill it into the soldier.

First, he had to use the Divine Doctor Qi to stop the black gas from spreading. Otherwise, even if Bai Feng treated him, it was very likely that he would not be able to get rid of it.

After being restrained by Bai Feng, the soldier coughed heavily and actually regained consciousness.

This caused Cao Ren to turn pale with fright.

This soldier had clearly been unconscious for two days!

If not for his weak breath, Cao Ren would have thought that he was dead.

However, this basically meant that he was half-dead.

He did not expect that Mister would wake up after standing here for a while?

"You are …"

The soldier struggled to raise his eyes and looked at Bai Feng who was treating him.

Although Bai Feng did not seem to be doing anything, the soldier could feel that this person was saving him!

The pain in his body was greatly reduced when he was by his side!

The soldier opened his mouth with difficulty.

"Please save me …"

"I don't want to die!"

"I'm my mother's only son. If I die, who's going to support my mother …"

"Please … save me, Mister …"

Bai Feng sighed helplessly and said, "I'll do my best.

Try not to talk, don't take deep breaths, and try to remain calm. "

The soldier's eyes immediately lit up.

For some reason, Bai Feng's words made him feel endless hope.
