Chapter 2452: Examine the General
The woman had a shorter height and smaller bone structure, no prominent Adam’s apple, as well as soft skin and tender flesh.
People who couldn’t tell she was a woman must be blind.
“Examine the general,” said the woman.
Ning Shu walked over and sat beside the bed. She felt the pulse of the man on the bed.
“He’s starving. Get him something to eat,” said Ning Shu.
“I’ll be troubling you, Village Head,” the woman said to the village head.
The village head nodded.
Ning Shu felt the man’s pulse for a while. The woman’s worry could be heard in her voice as she asked, “How is the general?”
“The symptoms are a bit strange, but we can just put some medicine on the wound,” Ning Shu said.
“Why hasn’t the general woken up yet?” The woman’s worried face reddened with anxiety.
“Well…”
“Aren’t you a doctor? Why don’t you know?” The woman said angrily and anxiously. Tears formed in her eyes.
Ning Shu: …
“He passed out from hunger.”
The woman’s tears finally fell. “The general shouldn’t have given me all the food.”
Ning Shu was rather curious about how a woman infiltrated the army.
Don’t tell her she was Hua Mulan serving in the army?
First of all, why did a general come here?
Was this place close to a border station?
Liu Xiaoya’s existence was like a drop in the ocean in this world. She was completely ignorant of the outside world.
Ning Shu didn’t expect to meet such a situation.
“Why are you here?” Ning Shu asked.
The woman wiped the tears from her face. “The general was ambushed by the enemy.”
“Did they follow you?” Ning Shu asked.
The woman nodded. “Maybe we should leave again soon.”
“The general is Li country’s god of war. He must not die.”
“How did the god of war become like this?” Ning Shu suddenly realized that if the enemy was tracking them, this village might suffer.
She didn’t believe that the enemy pursuing them wouldn’t kill people from the enemy country.
If someone was caught, they would most likely be tortured and interrogated about the whereabouts of the escaped people.
Ning Shu couldn’t help sighing mentally. She’d just found such a peaceful place after great difficulties.
“Your general has been poisoned. Not only that but there is also a demonic poison insect inside him,” Ning Shu said.
The woman was stunned. “How could this happen?”
Ning Shu said, “You’d better go to White Cloud Temple. The priests there have just caught a snake that was about to turn into a flood dragon. Consuming its gallbladder may detoxify him. As for the insect, the head of White Cloud Temple has a way…”
The village head came in and, continuing the subject, said, “The head of White Cloud Temple is a very capable person. The snake he caught was humongous and had even sprouted claws.”
The woman’s eyes lit up with a burning light. “Really?”
“Of course, everyone in this village knows,” the village head said, and went out to see if his wife had finished preparing the food.
Ning Shu tightly knit her brows. The snake’s gallbladder could detoxify him; moreover, it had just died.
Ning Shu stared at the man on the bed whose lips had turned purple. This kind of coincidence was extremely beneficial for him.
“That’s great.” The woman’s eyes sparkled. She asked Ning Shu, “Where is White Cloud Temple?”
“Let the village head take you there later.” Ning Shu stood up. Zhenzhen had grabbed her hair and it hurt a bit.
“In any case, thank you,” the woman said. She took out a pearl to give to Ning Shu. “This is your reward.”
The pearl was bigger than her thumb. It was pink, smooth, and round, and looked very precious even at a glance.
This was too valuable. Ning Shu had only taken the man’s pulse.

#Wheat’s Comments: I’m curious how THIS woman infiltrated the army.
