Chapter 1981: Pneumonia
“Take care of me?” Lu Xingzhi continued with a smile. “How are you going to take care of me?”
Lu Xingzhi’s question stumped Jiang Yaon. Was he that sure she would not bear to make a move on him right now? Should she kick him in the face?
After rolling her eyes at Lu Xingzhi, Jiang Yao put on her raincoat and asked Zhou Junmin to help her carry the medical kit. Then, she took the umbrella and left the house.
Their home was not close to the infirmary. The rain was heavy, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk on. In addition, Jiang Yao was pregnant and could not walk fast. Therefore, it took her almost 20 minutes to walk to the infirmary.
Jiang Yao followed Zhou Junmin to the infirmary’s door and heard the soldiers cursing. “Those villagers are such a disappointment! They blocked the road and refused to let people pass. They complain that there is no reason for the dead to have a funeral.”
“What proper funeral? Why would they block the road if they respected the dead and wanted a funeral? Aren’t they trying to extort money from the army?” The soldiers were angry.”We protected them. If it weren’t for us, the whole village would have flooded on the second day of the heavy rain.”
“Exactly! It’s so depressing to talk about it! And it’s so unfair!” one of the soldiers said.
“That’s enough!” A dignified-looking person shouted and stopped his subordinates.
Not all the villagers were so unruly. They knew that there were people in the army who needed to leave urgently, so some villagers helped to persuade that family. However, that did not do much since the family enjoyed a higher status in the village.
“Hurry up and let her go in and have a look.” Zhou Junmin pushed the person blocking the door.
“It’s Doctor Jiang!” Someone recognized Jiang Yao at a glance.
Jiang Yao looked up and was also surprised. “You’re from the field unit?”
“Doctor Jiang, please go in quickly.” The soldier almost burst into tears when he saw Jiang Yao. He did not doubt her skills, especially when he had seen how she had controlled those young graduate students. He thought Jiang Yao might be better than the military doctors there.
Pneumonia was quite a worrying illness.
If it were not treated in time, it would become severe. The consequences would also be unimaginable.
Shao Fucheng lay on the hospital bed. He was so pale that it was scary. His condition was much more severe than Lu Xingzhi the previous night.
It seemed like Shao Fucheng needed urgent treatment. It was bacterial pneumonia. That man must have caught a serious cold and decided to ignore it. He wore only thin clothes and had been doing the same tasks as Lu Xingzhi. He had rescued people without rest, so his body could not take it anymore. He had contracted pneumonia just like that.
“Is that Colonel Lu’s wife?” The older military doctor was so surprised that he adjusted his reading glasses. He did not expect Doctor Jiang, well respected by everyone, to be so young. She looked like a high school student.
“She may be young, but her medical skills are excellent.” Zhou Junmin defended Jiang Yao..
