Chapter 861 - 807 Save One
Just as Liu Hun was about to comfort Chu Mengyao, a commotion erupted outside the house.
Upon hearing the sound, Liu Hun frowned slightly, his expression carrying a hint of coldness. His mood was already quite bad, and now there were people outside causing trouble.
"Liu Hun, didn’t you say before that you’d quickly heal us? Do you know how many people have died now? I think you don’t. After all, you’ve been hiding and refusing to come out these past few days. Fine, let me tell you, over forty thousand people have died in Fenglin County, and more than half in our village are dead or injured. You haven’t said a word now, are you worthy of Shanghe Village and Lower River Village?" As Liu Hun stepped out, a young man angrily berated him.
As his words fell, another middle-aged man stood up and accused Liu Hun, "The scene you previously demonstrated was probably just to make money, right? You’re no Divine Doctor, just a sham."
"Indeed, you’re a sham, a fraud. My parents died in this plague, and you still have the nerve to flirt with the village chief. You’re truly despicable!"
...
Curses echoed from the crowd, but Liu Hun’s face turned even paler. He could ignore the country’s other insults, but Shanghe Village and Lower River Village were his home; these villagers were like family. Yet now, even they were here to criticize him.
This time, Liu Hun said nothing, just bearing it all powerlessly.
Now, he finally understood what Chu Mengyao said before about great power coming with great responsibility.
If he couldn’t cure everyone, then he would have to bear the eternal disgrace alone.
"Don’t be like this. Haven’t you noticed Liu Hun’s extreme exhaustion? Clearly, he’s been working hard these days. This plague is something even famous experts from the country have made no progress on, let alone Liu Hun." At this point, Aunt Huang couldn’t help but speak up for Liu Hun.
"Didn’t he say before that he could cure us? If he doesn’t have that capability, he shouldn’t boast!" The young man who had insulted Liu Hun earlier looked at Aunt Huang with disdain.
