Lin Yang came here to solve patients' problems, not to engage in infighting, and didn't want to let these pointless noises disrupt his thoughts.
As for his personal grudges with Ouyang Jianfei and Liu Baohua, they cannot be wiped clean, but they will at least have to wait until the infectious disease epidemic is resolved before discussing them.
Lin Yang clearly understood what was important and what was not, what was right and what was wrong.
"If the deer carcasses are not removed, no matter how advanced the medical facilities in the town are or how well the infectious disease isolation measures are implemented, there will still be a continuous stream of patients, and the problem cannot be solved at its root."
"I will try to find a solution for the national officials and the rescue medical teams, but I estimate it won't be resolved in a day or two; it's likely to be a protracted battle."
As for the reason, Lin Yang pursed his lips and did not explain further to Luna and her daughter.
They are simple and pure, so it's better not to let them know too much.
Sometimes, knowing too much can bring unnecessary trouble.
"Where are we supposed to find water to drink before the body is moved?" Marilyn's eyes were filled with deep anxiety, and tears welled up in her eyes. "We simply don't have enough money to buy clean bottled water..."
Luna, her face also filled with sorrow, held her daughter in her arms with heartache and murmured to herself.
"I'm sorry, my dear daughter. It's my fault for not being able to give you a better life."
If only their family were wealthier.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life.
"I have a way that doesn't cost any money, you can try it."
Lin Yang felt a pang of sadness as he watched the mother and daughter embracing and cuddling each other. Then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he gradually conceived a solution.
If it works, we can even save on firewood costs.
"You all rest at home, I'll be back in a bit."
After speaking, Lin Yang straightened his clothes, turned around and went out.
Before long, he returned home carrying a bunch of wild herbs that smelled of medicine. His clothes and shoes were covered in mud, and he looked a bit disheveled, but his eyes still shone brightly.
Under the bewildered gazes of the mother and daughter, Lin Yang relit the fire in the pot of water that Luna had boiled earlier and poured all the medicinal herbs in his hand into it.
"ah!"
Luna's expression changed; she was heartbroken.
"Mr. Lin Yang, what are you doing?"
Although drinking it would make her sick, it was water that she and Marilyn had worked hard to fetch. Even if they couldn't use it to quench their thirst, they could still use it to wash clothes and mop the floor!
"Don't worry, after this pot of water boils, just filter it and it'll be ready to drink."
Lin Yang added firewood while explaining to Luna and her daughter.
"These herbs and flowers are called Chinese medicine in China, and they can be used to treat diseases."
"I'm currently using traditional Chinese medicine to sterilize and filter the water to neutralize the toxic substances. I'll boil the water for an hour before drinking it, and then I won't get sick."
"In addition, I will go and get you another dose of medicine later. Drink it according to the dosage I give you, three times a day, for ten days, and all symptoms such as fever and vomiting will disappear."
Despite Lin Yang's seemingly logical explanation, Luna still remained somewhat skeptical.
These are just wild grasses that can be found everywhere on the mountain. Do they really have such magical effects?
She opened her mouth, then closed it again, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to, clearly conflicted.
Marilyn saw through her mother's thoughts and comforted Luna by holding her hand: "Mom, don't forget, it was Mr. Lin Yang who pulled you back from the brink of death. He is an experienced and wise doctor, and we should trust him."
It's just a little water.
She could make a couple more trips to get the injection if Lin Yang needed it.
All these hardships are insignificant compared to the life-saving grace Lin Yang owes his mother.
Luna nodded, putting aside her concerns, and stepped forward to help Lin Yang add firewood.
Upon seeing this, Marilyn also stepped forward to join in the boiling of Chinese medicine.
An hour passed quickly.
The moment the pot lid was lifted, the unique fresh scent of plants filled the entire house, and the indescribable fragrance made Luna and Marilyn take deep breaths repeatedly.
Strangely enough, even just smelling it made the mother and daughter feel refreshed, as if the pain from their repeated fevers and vomiting over the past few dozen days had also subsided considerably.
Lin Yang took another empty bowl, scooped a spoonful of water into it, and put it in.
After the herbal residue sank to the bottom, a magical scene unfolded—
The water, which was originally filthy and smelly, has now become clean and clear.
It's even purer than before the pandemic!
"Mom, look! The water has really become clean!" Marilyn was overjoyed, gazing at Lin Yang with tender affection. Unconsciously, she gradually developed feelings of love for him, and a blush rose on her face.
"It's true, it really is true! Traditional Chinese medicine is amazing, even more powerful than Western medicine!"
A dozen top international Western doctors spent more than half a month trying to find the cause of the epidemic and develop an effective drug, but when it came to Lin Yang, he found the crux of the problem in just one day and also solved the water source problem.
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth!
Lin Yang lowered his head, smelled the water, and smiled with satisfaction.
It was a success!
He wrote the herbal recipe on a piece of paper and solemnly handed it to Luna and her daughter, instructing them to find as many Chinese herbs as possible in the vicinity.
On the one hand, before the water source is thoroughly cleaned, the mother and daughter can use these purified Chinese herbal medicines to filter the spring water and solve their basic water needs.
On the other hand, they can also take the purified Chinese medicine to towns to sell.
If it can be proven that traditional Chinese medicine is effective, it will inevitably be in short supply.
At that time, Luna's family's financial difficulties will also be alleviated.
Why not kill two birds with one stone?
Lin Yang himself was not idle either. Without even having time to tidy his clothes, he immediately went deep into the mountains to search for the medicinal herbs needed to treat the illness.
Neither water purification nor treatment should be neglected.
Only by taking a two-pronged approach can the epidemic be controlled.
Under the blazing sun, Lin Yang was drenched in sweat, but he didn't feel tired at all.
It wasn't that he wasn't tired, but the thought of tens of thousands of Southeast Asian compatriots suffering from illness waiting for life-saving medicine made him dare not stop for a moment, for fear of delaying anything.
Lin Yang spun around like a top until the sun set and the evening glow bloomed on the horizon. Only then did he return to his small house halfway up the mountain with a full harvest.
At that moment, Luna and her daughter also returned home.
Their combined efforts yielded results no less than Lin Yang's.
"Mr. Lin Yang, thank you for your hard work."
Luna quickly took out a handkerchief, took two steps forward, and raised her hand to wipe Lin Yang's sweat, but as soon as she raised her arm halfway, she suddenly remembered something, turned around, and handed the handkerchief to Marilyn who was standing next to her.
"My dear daughter, can't you see that Mr. Lin Yang is covered in sweat? Hurry up and help him wipe it off."
After saying that, Luna winked meaningfully, the subtext of which was self-evident.
