1357 Lives are Precious (2)

After a while, Nan Hua averted her eyes and moved to the next patient.

Chu Yue and Hui Ling were busy helping her. Thanks to them staying here for the past few days, they also became more familiar with some of the medical terms that were used and the name of herbs that Nan Hua was using.

"Miss, it's the last one for today. Please rest," Chu Yue reminded.

"I know." Nan Hua finished the bandage and then nodded at Chu Yue. She walked out of the tent and saw the other doctors were sitting together around a campfire, talking and laughing together.

They had seen some of the doctors left, but they said that it was normal.

Doctor Hei told her, "Some independent doctors are only hired on daily basis because we lack the proper manpower. For the pay, many people are willing to stay but then they can also leave without telling anyone. It has become common sight for us, military doctors."

Nan Hua could understand that they actually didn't want to hire unknown doctors either. Thus, they would usually require the letters sent by the officials for them to be accepted inside. But of course, they were also allowed to leave easily.

Besides, the doctors were all stationed near this tent and couldn't go anywhere else. Even if there were spies, there was not much information that they could share outside.

"Would you like to eat with the others, Miss?"

"No need." Nan Hua shook her head. She didn't like crowd and it was not like she was here for a mission. If it was for the sake of mission, she could just create a different persona for herself and blend with the other doctors to gain more information and so on.

But she was truly here because she wanted to settle Kuang Shen's matter.

Along with seeing the situation.

For some reasons, she had started to stop acting so much with the few personas whom she herself didn't necessarily like. Instead, she started to act in a way that she liked the most.

Though, there were times when she herself was confused.

Just what kind of her person she is inside?

She was not that sure.

"Let's go."

Nan Hua took another look at the doctors and then walked away. Even though being a doctor was tiring, but she could see joy from the faces of these doctors. Every time they managed to save someone, they would feel happy from the bottom of their heart.

Because they become a doctor because they wanted to save others.

Some people became a doctor for the hefty income they could get but the people in this era was still mostly pure. They just wanted to save others and share the joy of having helped another person.

Lives are precious.

You only live once.

Though Nan Hua doubted that this sentence applied to her because of her bizarre situation, she believed that it should have been the truth for most others. They only have the chance to live once.

So they had to live their lives to the fullest.

And a good doctor would be helping these people to continue their lives so that they could still continue to pursue their goal.

Perhaps, that was why her master never cared about the background of his disciples.

As long as they had enough talent, had the will and compassion to help others, he would make them his disciples.

It was just that….

That oversight of their background was actually the biggest problem for her master. Too many of them came from various complicated backgrounds and had some conflicts that would take an extremely long time to solve.

At this time, Nan Hua decided that she will stay as a doctor for the time being.

She wanted to enjoy this kind of different life for a while longer.

…

At this time, Shangguan Xiao looked at the report and frowned. He naturally noticed those missing doctors because there were too many of them who disappeared at almost the same time.

And after checking their belongings, they found things that belonged to Shi Long Kingdom.

"Now we know how they infiltrate our camps." General Feng gnashed his teeth. "To think that Shi Long Kingdom is getting the bad influence from Zhang Xu Kingdom."

"All is fair in war." Shangguan Xiao put the report away. He was not that surprised with this report and had already guessed that Shi Long Kingdom was slowly but surely using the same tactic as those from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

While it was a bit annoying, but it was still within the acceptable range.

Somewhat…

"Do you have any methods to counter them?"

"For now, we can investigate the people who sent the letters. I have kept the record and we might be able to figure out the few moles from Shi Long Kingdom." Shangguan Xiao shrugged.

General Feng looked at this youth in surprise. Even he was not that meticulous to keep such record.

"I'm trying to be careful because there are several people we have to hire from outside including doctors. Considering that we're putting our lives on the line, we have to be more careful to decrease the chance of them taking our lives." Shangguan Xiao glanced at General Feng suspiciously.

Haven't General Feng realized this matter too? After all, he was also someone who had been fighting at the frontline for so many years.

General Feng gave out a dry cough and nodded.

It was just that, he had already handed over some matters for his subordinate to take care and no longer cared that much about it.

"Since they're being so ruthless, we can also be ruthless to them." Shangguan Xiao thought of some dirty tactics that he had been thinking and then nodded with a smirk.

Shangguan Xian arched his eyebrows and took a step back. His younger brother could be quite ruthless at times, so even he had to be careful when the other party was showing that devil smile.

He began to think that since both sides would be playing dirty, what kind of war would it be?
