Just as he walked out of the Bai ancestral hall, Chen Xuan saw a large crowd of villagers gathered before it. Nearly every household in Tazhai Village had someone infected with the plague, and with the patients in critical condition, their entire families had remained by their sides. They were clinging to the hope that if Divine Doctor Chen could not turn the tide, they would at least be able to spend the final moments with their loved ones. Because of this, almost the entire village was present at this moment.
Feeling the gazes filled with anticipation, anxiety, sorrow, and helplessness, a line from the great poet Qu Yuan could not help but surface in Chen Xuan’s mind: "I heave a long sigh to cover my tears, for I mourn the hardships of the common people!"
"Divine Doctor Chen, please save us!"
