Chapter 1571 – Defeating Nie Liang, Attacking Yang Tao, Sword Pointing to the World (Part 109)
After confirming with his gaze, Yan Lin was so poor he didn’t even have a valuable item.
The Dreaming Back to a Thousand Years event had produced so many European Emperors and numerous souvenirs were taken away.
But him? He would probably return empty-handed.
No mistake, it was indeed “he.” This European Emperor was also a typical male wearing a female guise.
Barely fifteen minutes after arriving, he heard someone outside knocking on doors from house to house, pleading and crying.
People were sobbing with hoarse voices, sounding quite pitiful, and he casually lent a hand.
However, with limited resources, what was needed was nowhere to be found, so the European Emperor could only do his best. Whether Yan Lin’s life could be saved depended on him.
【Strawberry Slushie】: QAQ Crying, why can this time’s European Emperor get selected with less than ten comments!
【Blueberry Slushie】: Accept your fate. The visibility in the live room has nothing to do with activity; mysterious luck does not save the unwarranted!
The regulars in the live stream were familiar with many big names, but this time’s European Emperor looked unfamiliar.
In over a decade of livestreaming, he only managed to snatch a spot once and his comment record had only eight entries, ID: [Studying Medicine Can’t Save the Fool].
“I don’t want to speak less, okay? As a doctor, watching the livestream during work hours without getting my brains beaten out by patients is a miracle.”
With the shell of a young girl, he carefully identified the herbs stored in the room, while the fish in the live stream cheered for him.
Given the previous situation, this European Emperor seemed to be a Western doctor but could recognize traditional Chinese herbs; impressive!
Doctors had decent job prospects, and many second and third-year fish asked the European Emperor for good majors; they wanted to learn as well.
With a smirk, the European Emperor scoffed, “Telling others to study medicine is inviting disaster.”
The fish in the chat nodded in agreement, praising this European Emperor’s straightforwardness, voicing the thoughts of countless medical students and hospital workers!
【Stowaway Non-Money】: European Emperor sounds quite resentful; is work not going smoothly?
The fish loved chatting but were even more enthusiastic about digging for gossip, and this statement from the European Emperor clearly had a story behind it.
Sure enough—
With a cold expression, the European Emperor replied, “Of course, work is not going well. Guess how I got here? Just got stabbed in by a patient.”
As a doctor, transitioning from traditional to Western medicine and completing a continuous degree, he had spent many years rotating through hospitals to finally secure a position, working diligently. Deep down, he felt he owed it to himself and to the patients, enduring in a field rife with medical disputes, gaining no credit but plenty of hard work. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side; immediately after finishing a surgery, he got stabbed by a woman’s husband and ended up in the ICU.
“Aah, so many fools under heaven, studying medicine can’t save them.” The European Emperor sighed wearily and mimicked a smoking gesture, “When I chose to study medicine, I was also filled with passion and a heart to save the nation. But alas, foolishness is an incurable disease; the desire to save is powerless. Whether a child is a boy or a girl has nothing to do with me; I didn’t sleep with his wife…”
Five million fish: “…”
Watching a delicate young girl utter such crude words was an eye sore (/ω＼)
【Cellular Work】: I don’t quite understand, how does this relate to you becoming the chosen European Emperor?
“It relates.” The European Emperor sighed, “About half a month ago, I performed a C-section. The mother and baby were safe. However, the mother’s husband and mother-in-law were unhappy, causing a scene in the hospital, claiming they went to Hong Kong for an ultrasound and were told it was a boy, suspecting the hospital had sold their precious boy and switched it for a girl. They were so agitated that they didn’t care for the mother or child, stabbing me with a fruit knife. I got stabbed into the rescue room and spent a few days in the ICU; I finally had free time to catch the livestream.”
“Do you guys know? The ICU costs nearly ten thousand a day. If it weren’t for the fact I have social security and medical insurance, who knows how long I’d have to work for the hospital to earn back those losses.” Saying this, the European Emperor tragically wiped away nonexistent tears, letting out a melancholy sigh, “Is it easy?!”
Five million fish silently answered, “Not easy, tearful for those who hear, sorrowful for those who see!”
【Stowaway Non-Money】: Unfortunate from misfortune, fortune from misfortune, it might not be a bad thing. Isn’t this your luck exploding in another world? With the heat of the livestream room, your matter is sure to trend; those who harmed you will have to give you an explanation.
The European Emperor wasn’t someone who liked to dwell on the past.
Though faced with unprovoked calamities, he wouldn’t give up the work he loved so dearly.
Upon hearing the European Emperor’s ordeal, the fish no longer felt jealous or resentful.
After all, this was what the European Emperor deserved.
This body belonged to a barefoot doctor in the village, where villagers would come for anything from headaches to colds, so they always had commonly used herbs at home, mainly targeting minor ailments. The European Emperor prepared fever-reducing medicine for Yan Lin, letting the Deputy General take it to the kitchen to brew.
The European Emperor said, “His wounds shouldn’t be moved; it’s best to stay here and rest for now.”
Though the European Emperor could only stay for twelve hours, this body belonged to a barefoot doctor, so minor ailments could still be treated.
The Deputy General carefully brought over steaming medicine, slightly cooled it, and fed it to Yan Lin.
Listening to the European Emperor’s suggestion, he displayed a bit of difficulty on his face. The longer they stayed, the higher the risk of revealing their identities.
However—
The Military Adviser’s condition also wasn’t suitable for moving, which made things quite awkward.
The European Emperor, aware of their identities, wisely chose to remain silent and did not press further.
Meanwhile, Yan Lin had sent away the soldiers who wished to leave. They exchanged the things he gave them for silver, preparing to disband.
However, how could they hide their movements from the troops sent by Fu Wang? They were soon caught and questioned.
Some were hard-headed, but others were terrified for their lives, almost wetting their pants in front of the varied torture devices in the cell.
“I-I told you—please don’t kill me!”
Some couldn’t help but spill the beans, while others loosened their lips to survive.
Fu Wang finally learned that Yan Lin led people into the deep mountains to look for bamboo to make rafts to escape.
Upon receiving this information, he sent troops to pursue them, and in the dead of night, captured another group of fleeing soldiers, but Yan Lin was not among them.
“Where did Shaoyang go?”
Fu Wang was not known for having a good temper, choosing to use violence to get answers.
Heaven does not disappoint those who are earnest; he finally extracted the truth: Yan Lin was gravely ill and had been taken ashore by the Deputy General to seek medical aid.
Yang Si, woken up in the middle of the night by Fu Wang, analyzed upon hearing this, “In that case, Yan Lin’s condition must be severe enough to be life-threatening. The nearby waters are just small fishing villages, where there are no reputable clinics, let alone skilled doctors.”
“The Military Adviser means… Yan Lin could very well die?”
Yang Si huffed disdainfully, “One must see the person alive or the corpse dead; even just Yan Lin’s body would be more valuable than an ordinary person’s corpse.”
Fu Wang said, “If that’s the case, I’ll send someone to search the coastal fishing villages; we will surely drag Yan Lin out.”
Despite the Deputy General already being quite cautious, he still left traces by dragging the raft into the reeds, and the soldiers followed this clue to locate them. The next day, just as dawn broke, fishermen heading out to fish encountered a group of unfamiliar soldiers in the village.
“Did you see any strangers last night?”
The fishermen replied honestly, “Yes, they seemed to have gone into that house at the end of the village.”
