Chu Yue said, "I won't go back. I will stay in the village for a few more days."

Doctor Hao frowned as he sat in the car. "Xiao Chu, the poisoned people are now in stable condition. You can come back for a follow-up check tomorrow. It will be the same."

"Doctor Hao, I stayed here not only for the patients, but also for Doctor Zhou. Doctor Zhou entrusted me with something so important. I must learn more in the limited time, and it would be best if I could master it thoroughly."

Whether it was the prescription or the herbal illustration, there were parts that Chu Yue did not understand. She had to hurry up and consult Dr. Zhou so as not to let Dr. Zhou down.

Doctor Hao nodded after hearing this. "Then take good care of yourself. If you have any problems, ask someone to come to the army to find me. As for what happened today, I will write a report after I go back. This is your first mission, and you have completed such a difficult task. I want to commend you for it."

Chu Yue just smiled faintly at the temptation to ask for credit.

She told Doctor Hao to fasten his seat belt, then walked over to talk to Song Qi.

"Song Qi, I will stay in the village for a few days. The exact time is not yet determined, so I can't go back for the time being. Please tell Zhan Lin that everything is fine in the village, and I will go back after I finish my work, so he shouldn't worry about me. And also tell Yuan Bao that the new chicks will hatch soon, and I will go back to see them with him."

The chick grew up and became a hen. The hen laid eggs. Chu Yue left some eggs uneaten for the chicks to hatch.

Counting the days, next week will be the time for the chicks to hatch, and soon there will be furry little chicks again.

Song Qi replied readily, "Sister-in-law, it's all part of my job, no trouble. I promised to pass on your message to Captain Lu. The captain asked me today when I would come to pick him up. If you don't go back now, the captain will be disappointed."

Lu Zhanlin’s disappointment can be imagined, but Doctor Zhou’s matter is important, so Chu Yue chooses to stay.

She watched the military vehicle slowly drive away.

After nightfall, the weather turned cold and Dr. Zhou's body could no longer hold on. He lay in bed coughing and coughing up blood again.

Chu Yue cooked white rice porridge and added some ginseng roots that she took out from the spiritual treasure space into the porridge.

Doctor Zhou is weak now and cannot be nourished. If he uses too much ginseng as a tonic, it will have the opposite effect, so he can only use ginseng roots to slightly replenish his qi.

"Doctor Zhou, the rice porridge is ready, please have some."

"Okay... Thank you, Chu girl." Doctor Zhou propped himself up, took the rice porridge, and coughed a few more times, "Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... Don't worry about me, go read a book, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Doctor Zhou originally thought that Chu Yue would go with Doctor Hao, but he didn't expect Chu Yue to stay, just to learn what he gave her.

He was really relieved that he did not choose the wrong person.

There was no electric light in Dr. Zhou's room, so Chu Yue lit a kerosene lamp and held a flashlight, studying carefully bit by bit.

When Dr. Zhou was conscious, she took the time to ask about the things he didn't understand.

After Dr. Zhou fell asleep, she marked the parts she didn't understand and asked later.

Chu Yue knows a lot about Chinese medicinal materials, but it is still far behind the "Bai Nationality Materia Medica" recorded by Doctor Zhou himself.

In the second half of the night, Chu Yue gradually couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Chu Yue was awakened by the noise outside the door.

"Doctor Xiao Chu?"

"Is Dr. Xiao Chu really here? Didn't she go home yesterday?"

"I saw it. Doctor Xiao Chu was talking to Doctor Zhou last night. He didn't leave our village!"

"Doctor Xiao Chu, are you there? We're here to bring you something."

Chu Yue yawned, wiped her face and walked out, and saw more than a dozen people outside the house, almost blocking the door of Doctor Zhou's house.

"Hush - folks, keep your voices down. Doctor Zhou is still resting."

"Yes, yes, let's speak in a low voice and don't disturb Doctor Zhou's rest. Everyone should listen to Doctor Xiao Chu." Everyone nodded.

Chu Yue closed the door and walked out, leading the villagers to a slightly farther place, "What do you want to talk to me about? Is the patient's condition recurring?"

"No, ever since you, Dr. Chu, came to see me, I've gotten much better. I was able to get out of bed and eat this morning!"

Having the strength to get out of bed and eat means you're halfway recovered.

Now the toxins have been eliminated and there is no need to worry anymore.

"Doctor Xiao Chu, you saved my husband. He is the only man in our family of five. If he died, I would not be able to survive. Saving my husband means saving the lives of our entire family. Doctor Xiao Chu, you must be a living Bodhisattva, who came to earth to save people from suffering. These are the eggs I have saved for half a year. You must accept them."

"We country folk don't have much good stuff. This is homemade bacon. I couldn't bear to eat it during the Chinese New Year. Doctor Xiao Chu, please don't despise it."

"Doctor Xiao Chu, and I, and I...our old hen, is a small token of our family's love. Thank you for your great kindness!"

The villagers were holding all kinds of things in their hands and stuffing them into Chu Yue's hands madly. They were so enthusiastic.

Chu Yue had seen the unreasonable and rude side of this group of people, and she had also seen their simple and kind side, but... Chu Yue really couldn't stand such enthusiasm.

Especially when the old hen is stuffed in, it brings with it a strong smell of chicken poop, which makes people hold their breath.

"Fellow villagers, listen to me. I'm still talking about what I said yesterday. It's my duty to treat patients and save lives. Instead of thanking me, you should thank Doctor Zhou. If Doctor Zhou hadn't prescribed the detoxifying soup early in the morning, even if I came here, I would not be able to save the patient."

If saving a life is really better than building a seven-story pagoda, Chu Yue hopes that these merits will fall on Doctor Zhou.

Even after saying this, the villagers remained as enthusiastic about Chu Yue as ever, and insisted on giving the things in their hands to Chu Yue.

Just when Chu Yue was at a loss, a shout was heard.

"Doctor Zhou, Doctor Zhou - Doctor Zhou, something bad has happened -"

The shouting voice was quite familiar and full of energy. It was the big guy Zhao Dahu.

Zhao Dahu was not alone. He was holding Zhao Xiaohua in his arms. The brother and sister both frowned and came hurriedly.

Chu Yue hurriedly walked out of the crowd and walked towards Zhao Dahu, "Dahu, what happened?"

When Zhao Dahu saw Chu Yue, he was like seeing a savior, and he quickly replied, "Doctor Chu, it's bad, they are making a fuss."

Zhao Xiaohua had recovered a lot today, with color returning to her little face. She hurriedly added to Zhao Dahu's words.

"Doctor sister, you said that old rice is poisonous, but no matter what my brother said, they didn't listen. They didn't want to throw away the old rice, and wanted to take it home to eat."

Chu Yue's face darkened instantly. What a bunch of fools.
