Chapter 427: Chapter 437 Return to the City

Only those who have faced death know how vividly they remember the events of the day they almost died.

Gu Youyou was packing up, preparing to leave the military camp. As the patients were in the recovery phase, there was no need for many doctors to stay on; they had military physicians.

"Hey, why are you packing now? Isn’t it planned for after the farewell banquet three days from now?"

Gu Youyou turned her head to see Yue Rujing standing at the door.

It seemed that after this epidemic, Yue Rujing was completely awed by her, even the way he looked at her had changed dramatically. There was no hostility, no feigned flattery, only a clear and honest gaze with a hint of admiration.

Gu Youyou had always known that he had been scheming between her and Jin Zijin, advising Jin Zijin more than once that if he no longer needed her, Youyou should be done away with. Hopefully, he would set aside his prejudices against her because of her dedicated efforts this time.

After all, his affection for Jin Zijin was genuine, and so was hers.

Gu Youyou finished fastening her last strap and said, "Why would I, a lady, stay among a bunch of men? When it’s time for the banquet, you’ll all be drinking and jostling. Wouldn’t the mix of alcohol and sweat be enough to smother me?"

Gu Youyou expressed her disgust for the ’stench’ unique to men with such righteous indignation that Yue Rujing was taken aback for a moment, speechless.

It was probably only Gu Youyou who could say such a thing nonchalantly without blushing or skipping a beat.

Well, maybe this is what is called pride in one’s talents.

No help for it, Gu Youyou did have that ability.

"Does your senior brother know?"

Gu Youyou replied, "Of course he knows, and he strongly agrees with my thoughts."

If that was the case, Yue Rujing chuckled dryly and stepped aside, saying, "Well, to avoid smothering you to death, please go ahead and leave."

Gu Youyou stood in the bustling street, looking from a distance at the sign of Jisheng Hall.

A few sparse patients were coming in and out, which already exceeded her expectations.

She had thought that without her presence and with only the half-competent Banxia in charge, and no highly skilled doctors from other medical institutions at the military camp, Jisheng Hall would be gathering dust. But, to her surprise, there were still people coming in.

As Gu Youyou stepped into Jisheng Hall, she saw several women collecting medicines. When they turned around and saw her, they immediately greeted her warmly, "Doctor Gu, you’re back. How is the typhoid situation in the military camp?"

The situation in the camp had always been kept confidential. When typhoid was first discovered in the military camp, Marquess Yue had also ordered secrecy, but the news could not be contained and had leaked. Hence, they all knew Gu Youyou had gone to the military camp.

Not only doctors from Jisheng Hall had gone, but those from other medical institutions as well.

Seeing Gu Youyou, Banxia hurried out from behind the counter and excitedly looked her over before suddenly bursting into tears, "Sister Youyou, I’m so glad you’re back. I was afraid for you...so scared."

Gu Youyou patted the back of Banxia’s hand and said with a smile, "Silly girl, what’s there to be afraid of? Haven’t I said that I could cure typhoid? Don’t you trust me yet?"

Banxia wept tears of joy, wiping them away as she said hastily, "I trust you, I trust you. Sister Youyou has excellent medical skills, from now on I’ll believe whatever you say."

Hearing that Gu Youyou could cure typhoid, the women immediately exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, Doctor Gu is truly amazing to have cured typhoid. Has the typhoid in the military camp really been taken care of?"

"There’s not much of a problem anymore, the patients are all in their recovery phase, but Youyou dares not take the credit for herself; it’s everyone’s achievement!" Gu Youyou said with a laugh.
