"That's right, that's right. Many thanks for Sir's reminder."
After Bai Feng's reminder, Cao Ren finally remembered that Bai Feng's wine was very strong. He had lost consciousness after drinking less than two bowls.
If Bai Feng didn't remind them, wouldn't these soldiers be drunk after drinking a big bowl of it?
If the Qiang invaded, they might not even be able to hold their bows properly.
At this thought, Cao Ren smiled sheepishly and hurriedly gave his orders.
"Remember, just drink a little to warm your body. If anyone dares to drink too much, they will be punished by military order!"
Originally, drinking was strictly forbidden in the army, but this was a special situation. The northern region was simply too cold. Without strong wine to warm their bodies, many people 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.
"There's even one soldier who contracted tuberculosis. From the looks of it, he won't last more than a few days."
At this point, Cao Ren couldn't help but sigh.
Tuberculosis was a disease that, once contracted, was basically incurable.
At the very least, with the current medical standards, there was no way to treat them.
They could only wait for death.
Not to mention tuberculosis, even this cold was difficult to recover from in a short period of time. If this dragged on, they were bound to contract other diseases.
Cao Ren had been very busy over this period of time.
Cao Ren no longer had the soldiers who had caught a cold defend the city, but had them quickly rest.
Colds could be categorized into contagious and non-contagious. If it was contagious, it would be extremely dangerous.
With so many people in the army gathered together every day, if it were to spread, it would be a plague!
At that time, not to mention the Qiang invading, these soldiers would probably succumb before they even arrived.
"Oh? There's such a thing? "
"Where are these soldiers now?"
Bai Feng naturally knew the severity of colds during the Three Kingdoms period, so he asked with a slight frown.
Cao Ren sighed.
"They're being treated in that tent over there."
"If Sir would like to take a look, then follow me."
With that, Cao Ren instructed the soldiers to guard their posts, then led Bai Feng forward.
Soon, the two of them stopped in a large tent.
There was a bonfire burning in this tent to warm the soldiers as much as possible.
There were about fifteen or sixteen soldiers, all of them pale and sweaty. Some of them were even coughing incessantly.
The few doctors who followed the army hurried to treat the soldiers' injuries.
However, looking at their worried faces, Bai Feng understood that these physicians were also somewhat powerless.
This kind of cold was especially difficult to treat. Even in modern times, in such a serious situation, it could not be cured without a few days of saline.
Bai Feng let out a soft sigh and said,
"Doctors, you may leave for now.
Hearing this, the doctors were stunned. Bai Feng continued, "That's right.
Bai Feng's fine, I'll leave this place leave it to me.
The doctors were still a little confused. At this moment, Cao Ren said in a hoarse voice,
"The Grand General said to let you rest, so go and rest quickly!"
Hearing this, the doctors hurriedly obeyed the order. After bowing, they hurriedly left the tent.
Bai Feng couldn't help but frown.
"Zixiao, it's not easy for these doctors. Don't be so harsh on them. If there's an outbreak of illness in the army in the future, we still have to count on them to treat it."
Cao Ren, on the other hand, casually said,
"What's not easy? Is it easier than us sacrificing our lives in front of the army? "
Hearing this, Bai Feng couldn't help but shake his head and stop talking.
There was really no way to change the thinking of these ancient people.
They emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. Merchants, cooks, doctors, and so on were all low-class people who were looked down upon.
And those who were officials or soldiers looked down on them even more.
Bai Feng also knew that he couldn't correct this phenomenon in a short time. He could only give up on this topic and say,
"Zixiao, is the soldier with tuberculosis also here?"
Cao Ren nodded and said, "He's at the side.
"He's at the very edge. I tried to keep him as far away from the others as possible."
"He's been coughing so badly these two days that he's even coughing up blood. If it spreads to others, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Bai Feng nodded and immediately looked in the direction that Cao Ren said.
Cao Ren's face was instantly filled with shock.
"Sir …"
Before Cao Ren could finish speaking, Bai Feng gestured for him to keep quiet. He immediately went to the soldier with tuberculosis.
This soldier's face was completely lifeless. His face was pale, and there wasn't a trace of blood on his lips.
However, there was still scarlet blood at the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, this soldier's tuberculosis had almost reached his internal organs. It was no wonder that Cao Ren said that there was no way to save him.
If this continued, this soldier would soon die. The ending he was waiting for was to be buried underground.
However, this 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's Qi to check the condition of the soldier's body.
He could only say two words — very bad.
The black gas in his internal organs had already 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's Qi on his arm and began to instill it into the soldier.
First, he had to use the Divine Doctor's 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 eradicate it completely.
After Bai Feng's suppression, the soldier coughed heavily twice and actually woke up.
This made Cao Ren turn pale with fright.
This soldier had clearly been unconscious for two days!
If it wasn't for his weak breath, Cao Ren would have thought that he was dead.
However, this basically meant that he was half dead.
He didn't expect that Sir would wake up after standing here for a while.
"You are …"
The soldier tried his best to raise his eyes and look at Bai Feng, who was treating him.
Although Bai Feng didn't seem to be doing anything, the soldier could feel that this person was saving him!
With him by his side, the pain in his body lessened by a few degrees!
The soldier opened his mouth with difficulty.
"Please save me …"
"I don't want to die!"
"I am my mother's only son. If I die, who will take care of my mother …"
"Sir … please save me …"
Bai Feng sighed helplessly and said, "I will try my best.
"I'll do my best. Try not to talk or breathe deeply. Try to stay calm."
The soldier's eyes lit up.
He didn't know why, but Bai Feng's words made him feel endless hope.
