Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Treated as Bandits to be Suppressed

Qin Changlin quickly put on a mask and began to ask Uncle Wang about his discomfort.

As Uncle Wang left, he huffed in discontent, "If I really caught a contagious disease, what good would your damn piece of cloth do?"

In fact, Qin Changlin had the same thought.

Gu Youyou paid no attention to that vulgar man, understanding that as a doctor, Qin Changlin had to know better.

So Gu Youyou sat down and patiently told Qin Changlin a story about the great importance of wearing a mask.

After listening, Qin Changlin could only click his tongue in amazement. Looking at the mask in his hand, three layers of gauze sewn together, he felt even more astonished.

"So, just this thing can suffice if there’s really a plague?" he asked.

Without a word, Gu Youyou rolled her eyes and said, "It’s not about it sufficing, but it can greatly reduce the transmission. Many infectious diseases are transmitted through saliva and breath; using a three-layer gauze to cover the mouth and nose can block the pathogens in the air."

"Then why do we have to wear it every day? It’s quite uncomfortable."

"Even the common cold is contagious. Wearing it is to prevent you from falling ill frequently. As a doctor, the premise of treating patients is to ensure your own health. Oh, and remember what I told you about disinfecting when you come into contact with patients’ bodily fluids."

He nearly understood; Sister Youyou had him do all these things he had never done before for the sake of his own health.

Qin Changlin cracked a smile and said, "I got it now, thank you, Sister Youyou."

...

The next day, Jin Zijin indeed wanted to accompany Gu Youyou to the Gu Family, to see what sort of mischief her two uncles were up to.

Yue Rujing, who had not been gone long, returned, her expression one of anger mixed with anxiety.

"Senior Brother, we’ve been duped by that bastard."

Gu Youyou was taken aback and put down the medicine jar she was about to pick up.

"What happened?" Yue Rujing was rarely this flustered, making Jin Zijin frown as well.

"That bastard Zhuo Qing pulled a ’luring the tiger away from the mountain’ scheme on me. The letter he sent to Beijing yesterday was a ruse; in secret, he moved the troops from Yangguan City here. My men on Hu Mountain have been surrounded, under the guise of bandit suppression!"

Jin Zijin calmly said, "But wasn’t it you who initially labeled them as Hu Mountain bandits?"

"Exactly!" Yue Rujing was livid, stamping her feet in frustration. "I brought so many people over and had no way to settle them in a small town without attracting attention. I thought posing as bandits would draw no scrutiny, but it turns out I’ve given that bastard the perfect reason to wipe us out."

Yue Rujing, tugging at Jin Zijin, exclaimed urgently, "Senior Brother, those are our main reliance in Qingshui Town, we can’t just squander them. Come with me, I refuse to believe my men can’t overcome those good-for-nothing soldiers."

Jin Zijin hesitated, glancing at Gu Youyou.

Gu Youyou smiled and picked up the medicine jar again.

"Go ahead, I’ll take Abao with me."

"But your two uncles..." He felt uneasy.

Gu Youyou said, "It’s okay, if we lose our backing, what will we do when Zhuo Qing comes forcibly? "

Seeing him still hesitant, Gu Youyou added, "What could they possibly do to me? The worst is having them hold a grudge for the last time they failed, looking for an opportunity to teach me a lesson. I’m not foolish enough to let them do it without cost. Even if I’m caught by them this time, won’t I intensify my retaliation next time?"

Yue Rujing also said, "Senior Brother, as long as we’re here, he wouldn’t dare touch Youyou, but once it’s just the two of us... just the two of us left, however skilled we are, we can’t withstand their numbers."
