"We're still waiting for the test results. However, the dean and I both believe it's tick-borne encephalitis." Su Ruyi glanced at the dean.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The dean nodded repeatedly.

"Are you out of danger?" Shen Guoliang touched Shen Heping's forehead. "No fever. Doesn't encephalitis usually cause seizures?"

"There's no major danger at the moment, thanks to the timely arrival," the dean replied.

Shen Heping then pointed to the hospital director and said to Su Ruyi, "This is the hospital director, Kuang Wenbin. He's the one who called me and told me that Tie Yinghua wanted to transfer you to their hospital. Old Kuang, this is Dr. Su, Su Ruyi."

It turns out that he was not only an insider, but also a half-informant.

Su Ruyi quickly thanked him, "Dean Kuang, thank you so much for informing the general about this in time."

Kuang Wenbin scratched his head: "I don't deserve such praise, little miracle doctor! I just can't stand Tie Yanwang's behavior! Fortunately, she's completely dumbfounded now, and Tieshi is finally about to usher in spring! Dr. Su, someone as talented as you is truly wasting your talents in that godforsaken place, Dingjiatun. Are you really not interested in coming to our hospital? If you come, I'll make you the head of a department, how about that?"

Su Ruyi declined, saying, "I appreciate your kindness. However, our hospital mainly focuses on Western medicine, which doesn't quite align with my background..."

There used to be a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Tieshi, but during the later political movements, it was smashed to pieces, and the senior doctors died one by one in grief and indignation...

Su Ruyi had heard Jin Dachun talk about the history of Tieshi Central Hospital, so she was very familiar with it.

Kuang Wenbin clearly understood what Su Ruyi meant, and his expression darkened. He then forced himself to cheer up and said, "Dr. Su, I am a Western medicine practitioner, but I have great respect for traditional Chinese medicine because I myself was once saved by an old TCM doctor... I believe that this situation will not last long. You are skilled in this field, and you will surely shine one day!"

Su Ruyi nodded, and for a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

Shen Guoliang said, "I got a good coffin for Old Master Jin. I'll have Xiao Fang deliver it first thing tomorrow morning. It's made of ebony."

Su Ruyi took out Jin Dachun's will and handed it to Shen Guoliang.

Shen Guoliang read it aloud word by word, then turned his head to wipe his nose: "That old man is talking nonsense! What cremation? No need for offerings?"

Su Ruyi said in a deep voice, "I am also very sad, but... let's respect Master's last wishes."

Shen Guoliang read the will several more times: "Then put it in my ebony coffin first, and then cremate it! This old guy had been talking about wanting a good piece of wood for years, and even chose an auspicious burial site for himself! How could he change his mind at the last minute?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi immediately understood—her master was afraid of causing her trouble!

Her nose tingled again, but it seemed as if she had cried all her tears out, leaving her eyes feeling sore and painful.

Shen Guoliang continued, "So? Have you changed your mind?"

Su Ruyi nodded: "Do you know where the auspicious burial site that Master chose is?"

"Hmph!" Shen Guoliang actually snorted. "Speaking of this makes me angry. The old man chose the back mountain of our camp! He said it was protected by some masculine energy! Bullshit! He just wants to haunt me all day long!"

Su Ruyi thought of her master's mischievous nature and realized that this was exactly what he was capable of doing.

"You smiled? That means you agree?" Shen Guoliang clapped his hands. "It's hot in the summer, so it can't be left for too long. Tomorrow morning, I'll have Xiao Fang take the coffin over, and have him bring a few people to make sure this is handled properly!"

"Thank you, General! My master is lucky to have you as a friend," Su Ruyi said sincerely.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Shen Heping laughed, then said to the air, "Old man, did you hear that? Your apprentice is praising me! All the ivory that you couldn't utter from your dog mouth has been spit out by Doctor Su!"

Su Ruyi: "..."

Just then, a young man covered in blood rushed in, his mouth also full of blood.

Su Ruyi thought she had mistaken someone for someone else, but she still called out, "Brother Changzi?"

The blood-soaked figure before them was none other than Ji Xuchang.

He woke up less than five minutes after being knocked unconscious by Su Ruyi. When he woke up, Sun Shengtian told him that Su Ruyi had already left with Shen Heping.

He was so frustrated that he immediately borrowed a bicycle and rushed over.

"Then... how did you end up looking like this?" Su Ruyi picked up a cotton ball from the table, dipped it in saline solution, and began cleaning his wounds.

"Damn it! My flashlight ran out of power halfway there! I fell into a ditch!" Ji Xuchang rarely swore, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he spoke, taking off his shattered glasses, and adding, "Twice!"

Su Ruyi cleaned away the blood scabs that were obstructing his view, and then he saw Shen Heping lying on the treatment bed next to him.

He immediately became extremely anxious: "Why haven't they taken Heping to the emergency room yet?! Is everyone at the hospital dead?! Why isn't there a single doctor in a white coat?"

Kuang Wenbin rushed over from home, dressed in casual clothes.

Upon hearing this, his expression naturally turned quite grim: "Young comrade, you're already receiving an IV drip. Once the test results are in, you'll begin targeted treatment."

"Are you a doctor?" Ji Xuchang looked at Kuang Wenbin's bald head with distrust.

"Brother Changzi, this is the director of this hospital!" Su Ruyi hurriedly reminded him.

"Dean?!" Ji Xuchang snapped out of his daze and noticed Shen Guoliang standing to the side. He immediately became reserved: "Uncle Shen, you're here too..."

"Let's clean the wound first. It looks more serious than the peace situation!"

Shen Guoliang sighed, "Your dad still asked me to take care of you. Don't come looking for trouble later!"

"I'm fine! I was just thinking that it wouldn't be convenient for Ruyi, a girl, to take care of Heping, so I rushed over."

As Su Ruyi wiped him, Ji Xuchang grimaced and asked, "Will Heping be staying in the hospital for a long time this time?"

"At least half a month," the dean thought for a moment, then looked at Shen Guoliang's expression. "No, at least two months!"

"Uncle Shen, then I'll stay at the hospital for the next two months to take care of Heping?" Ji Xuchang asked expectantly.

“Now you’ve found an excuse to avoid work!” Shen Guoliang rolled his eyes at him. “It’s fine if you stay here and keep watch; I’ll send two more people to replace you.”

"Thank you, Uncle Shen." Ji Xuchang had already cleaned the wound.

Su Ruyi took out a curved needle: "Do you need anesthesia?"

"No need! Ha, it's just a minor injury!" Ji Xuchang's smile was a bit forced. "Anesthesia will affect the brain!"

Su Ruyi used tweezers to pick up the smallest round needle and inserted it into his forehead.

"ah--"

Then Ji Xuchang suddenly screamed like a pig being slaughtered!
