Lin Yue's use of modern first aid methods to treat the little boy's wound was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples throughout the village. These ripples spread outwards, bringing not only curiosity about her medical skills but also deep-seated skepticism.

After that day, as Lin Yue walked through the village, she could always feel the complicated gazes cast upon her by the villagers. Some looked at her with curiosity, as if they wanted to see more of her magic; while others were full of suspicion, whispering about her strange methods.

In the afternoon, Lin Yue was drying herbs in the yard when Aunt Liu hurried in. Looking at Lin Yue, her eyes were full of concern: "Yue'er, how have you been these past few days? I've heard those rumors, don't take them to heart." Lin Yue smiled and stopped what she was doing: "Aunt Liu, I'm fine. I knew everyone would find it hard to accept at first, that's normal."

Aunt Liu pulled Lin Yue to sit down on a small stool in the yard and sighed, "Ah, you don't know, some people in the village are just so stubborn. They think your method is unreliable because they've never seen it before. Especially the older generation like Grandpa Wang, they keep saying that the methods of our ancestors are the only right ones."

Lin Yue nodded: "I understand their thoughts, after all, everyone has been doing this for so many years. But I really want to help everyone, those modern medical methods have been verified by countless practices."

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and several women walked in. One of the women looked at Lin Yue and said hesitantly, "Mrs. Chen, we've come to ask if the way you treated that child's wound the other day was really alright? Our child often gets bumps and bruises too; what if something had happened?"

Lin Yue stood up and patiently explained, "Sister-in-law, the method I used can minimize the risk of wound infection. Look how well the child is recovering these past two days, isn't it? If you apply herbal medicine directly without disinfection, the dirt in the wound will remain inside, making it very easy for it to become infected and fester."

Another woman, however, was less skeptical: "We've always used herbal remedies, and we haven't had any major problems. Your methods of disinfection and wrapping with clean cloths seem like a lot of trouble. Besides, where did you learn these strange methods?"

Knowing it would be difficult to convince them in a short time, Lin Yue smiled and said, "I learned this when I was a doctor in the city. Sisters, if you don't believe me, you can try it first. If you have any small wounds in the future, you can wash them with clean water first, and then wipe them with white wine, and see the effect."

The women listened, then left with some skepticism. Aunt Liu watched them go and said to Lin Yue, "Don't rush, take your time. I see quite a few young people in the village are interested in your method; they're more receptive to new things."

Sure enough, not long after, several young women from the village came to find Lin Yue. One of them, named Xiulan, said with a smile, "Sister Lin Yue, we think you're amazing. We've never seen your healing methods before, could you tell us about them?"

Lin Yue smiled and gestured for them to sit down. Then, she began to explain some basic hygiene knowledge and simple medical common sense to them. From how to keep the body clean to prevent illness, to how to treat wounds of different degrees after an injury, Lin Yue explained in detail. The girls listened with great interest, their eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Sister Lin Yue, what should we do if we get a fever? In the past, when people in our village had a fever, they would apply a wet towel to their forehead and drink some herbal decoction," Xiulan asked.

Lin Yue replied, "Applying a damp towel to the forehead makes sense and can help lower the temperature. However, if the fever is very high and doesn't subside, you need to be more careful. You can wipe the body with alcohol, especially in areas like the armpits and groin, because these areas have more blood vessels and dissipate heat quickly. At the same time, drink plenty of warm water to stay hydrated and prevent dehydration."

The girls listened and nodded, feeling as if Lin Yue's explanations had opened a door to a new world.

However, the doubts did not stop. A respected elder in the village approached Captain Li and said seriously, "Captain Li, the methods that Chen's wife is using are too strange. We can't let her do such reckless things. What if she harms the villagers' health?"

Captain Li frowned: "Sir, Lin Yue is a military doctor, she has her own professional knowledge. And judging from the current situation, the patients she treated are all improving."

The elder disagreed: "That was just good luck. We can't take the risk; we can't let her use those methods that haven't been approved by us to treat her again."

Captain Li shook his head helplessly; he knew it would be difficult to change the minds of these elderly people. He found Lin Yue and told her about the elders' concerns. Lin Yue looked at Captain Li and said firmly, "Captain Li, I know everyone has concerns, but I can't just stand by and watch the villagers suffer because of avoidable injuries and illnesses. I will find a way to make everyone understand."

To help villagers better understand the benefits of modern medicine, Lin Yue decided to conduct a simple comparative experiment. She found a family in the village willing to cooperate; they had two children of similar ages. Lin Yue had one child treat his wound using traditional methods, while the other child received modern disinfection and bandaging methods.

A few days later, the child whose wound was treated using traditional methods showed signs of redness, swelling, and suppuration, while the child whose wound was treated using modern methods recovered well. Lin Yue took the two children for a walk around the village, letting the villagers see the contrast for themselves.

This time, many villagers began to waver. They realized that Lin Yue's method might actually have some merit. But some stubborn villagers still believed that this was just an isolated case and didn't prove anything.
