Chapter 212 - 212 An Apology
212 An Apology
“Lady Qin, talk to us. Anyway, you’re free and we’re also very bored. Isn’t it good to chat to pass the time?”
The soldier saw that Mo Ruyue didn’t reply but he didn’t give up. He continued to shamelessly say.
The smile on his face didn’t last long before he felt the needle in his arm move. A sharp pain made him cry out and he almost fell off the bed.
“Don’t move! The needle nicked a blood vessel, I can’t stop the bleeding!”
Mo Ruyue frowned and quickly pulled out the needle. Then, she used an alcohol cotton to block the eye of the needle and pressed her fingers on the top of the eye to stop the bleeding.
As she was squatting next to the soldier, she was very close to him. The faint fragrance from her body constantly rushed into the soldier’s nose, tempting him to move forward, wanting to smell it a little more.
Mo Ruyue’s eyes turned cold, and she gave the soldier a backhanded slap, causing him to fall over.
Without the external pressure, blood gushed out from the needle hole on her arm.
“Get lost! We don’t need you here!”
She snapped.
Originally, the other soldiers had been roaring with laughter because that person had been slapped in the face because he had lost his composure. However, their laughter came to an abrupt end because of Mo Ruyue’s cold rebuke.
“Lady Qin, he didn’t mean to offend you. We are all boorish and might not know our limits. Please don’t lower yourself to our level.”
In this group of soldiers, there was a small team leader. Although the one who was beaten up was not one of his soldiers, as the Chief Officer of these people, he felt that it was necessary to stand up and say something. After all, they were also under the personal orders of the Magistrate and had to listen to Mo Ruyue.
Now that one of their brothers was going to be sent back before the mission was completed, their group would lose face.
“Do you think that just because I’m a widow, I can speak without restraint and act impetuously? I really don’t want to stoop to your level, but do you have any self-respect?”
Mo Ruyue looked coldly at the team leader and said disdainfully.
During this period of time, she had checked their bodies, taken their blood for tests, and even brought them back to the County to settle down. It could be said that they had been dealing with each other for a period of time. She was familiar with the identity, appearance, and physical condition of these people. Naturally, she knew that the person who spoke was the captain of a small team.
However, no matter if they were soldiers or officials, she would not let them have their bad habits.
No matter what dirty thoughts they had in their hearts, as long as they didn’t bring it up in the open, she would pretend that it didn’t happen. But if they showed it, they couldn’t blame her for being impolite!
The team leader was embarrassed by Mo Ruyue’s public rebuttal, but she wasn’t wrong. It was indeed his soldiers who had indulged themselves. It was no wonder he was slapped and scolded.
“Captain, I’ll take responsibility for what I did. I offended Lady Qin just now, I’ll admit to being beaten and scolded!”
The soldier who was beaten up was straightforward. He puffed out his chest and admitted his mistake.
He turned to Mo Ruyue and said to her seriously, “Lady Qin, I’m just a rough person. I just feel that you’re good in every way. Just now, I forgot myself. That slap was good, and the words you said just now were also good. I’m convinced.”
“If you still don’t feel appeased, then give me a few more slaps, just don’t send me back. I haven’t even completed the task given to me by the higher-ups, and I am being driven back by you. I can’t afford to lose face!”
His words were loud and clear, and there was no expression of resentment or anger on his face. It could be seen that these words were also from the heart.
Although his words and actions were despicable, he was still a person who valued his mission and reputation more than his life.
Mo Ruyue glanced at the needle that she had thrown to the side in a hurry. It had stained the tray, and a small pool of blood was flowing out. Even the blood in the entire sac had the possibility of being contaminated, and it seemed that it could not be used anymore.
She weighed it in her hand. She had already drawn 100CC of blood. What a pity.
However, there was no other way. As long as there was a possibility of the blood being contaminated, the bag of blood could not be used again. It could only be destroyed. Even the entire sac could not be used again if it had not been disinfected.
This was a huge loss, and he had wasted a blood bag.
“Go back and rest first. You’re not needed here for the time being.”
In the end, Mo Ruyue still let the soldier stay. He had already learned his lesson and admitted his mistake. He didn’t show any resentment, so she wouldn’t be ruthless and really drive him away.
“Didn’t you hear Lady Qin’s words? Hurry up and get lost!”
The captain saw that the soldier was still standing there in a daze and hurriedly berated him, asking him to quickly disappear from Mo Ruyue’s sight so that he wouldn’t make her unhappy again.
After that, Mo Ruyue shook the blood collection bag while dealing with the blood collection bag that was about to be destroyed. The remaining soldiers didn’t dare to easily strike up a conversation with her anymore.
The blood collection process lasted for more than half a day. Because Mo Ruyue had to stay in the County to prepare for the operation and go home after the operation, she would be staying in Huichun Hall during this time and was not in a hurry to leave.
“Lady Qin, are you done with your work? If you’re done, can I take up a little of your time?”
Mo Ruyue was packing up the blood collection tools when she heard someone talking to her. She turned around and saw that it was the captain who had pleaded for mercy on behalf of the soldiers.
“Captain Liu, what’s the matter?”
She asked as she packed her things.
“Ah it’s nothing special. It’s just that the soldier who offended you today is not a bad person. He’s just a little rough and direct. Please forgive him for offending you.”
He brought up what had happened during the day again and apologized to Mo Ruyue once more.
“If you have something to say, just say it. I still have a lot of things to do. That matter is in the past, as long as that person doesn’t continue to provoke me. ”
Mo Ruyue said directly. She really didn’t have time to waste on these roundabout things.
“Ah, this Yingluo.”
The squad leader was stunned, and his expression became a little uneasy.
“Actually, there’s a guy in our team who has a very serious illness in his family. He’s seen many doctors and taken a lot of medicine, but he still hasn’t recovered. He’s basically spent all his money on this, but it’s still like a bottomless pit.”
“We heard that Lady Qin’s medical skills are brilliant and she has the title of Divine Doctor. We wanted to see if we could ask you to help take a look. When that guy heard that you needed people here, he also signed up, but he didn’t get selected, so he could only ask me to find a suitable opportunity to mention it to you.”
Mo Ruyue heard this and turned to glance at him. “I’ll give medical treatment in Huichun Hall every three days. You can tell your colleague to line up there. You don’t have to especially come to me.”
