"That's good. Secondly, I wanted to tell you that if anyone asks you who cured you of the poison after you go back, just tell them that it was Dr. Ruan from Yuncheng Military Region Hospital who cured you. Do you understand?"
Hearing Ruan Ruan say this, Huo Haocheng quietly looked at her, thinking to himself, 'This kind girl, she's still so young, why does she want to take all the responsibility on herself?'
Unlike Huo Haocheng, Jiang Yuli stared intently at Ruan Ruan. Only then did she realize that detoxifying these people might have brought her trouble. "That brat!" she thought. The next day, after breakfast, Ruan Ruan arrived at the military hospital early. "Good morning, sister-in-law!"
"Ruan Ruan, you're here! Your medicine is truly miraculous. Several people came to me last night saying they remembered, and then they called home in the middle of the night. They should be coming to pick them up in a few days." Jiang Yuli hadn't rested since the first woman came to her last night, and had been waiting all night. This morning, all 20 girls remembered. She was happier than if she had won the grand prize.
"It's good that they've all recovered. I'll go see them then." Jiang Yuli then led them to the girls' ward.
"Comrades, this is Dr. Ruan. She's the one who found the medicine for you and saved your lives. Now she's come to see you," Jiang Yuli warmly introduced Ruan Ruan to them, hoping they would be grateful for her help.
"Thank you, Dr. Ruan, for saving us," the girls said warmly to Ruan Ruan.
"You're welcome. It's what a doctor should do. I came here to check on your recovery." Ruan Ruan looked at the girls in front of her who were about the same age as her. They all had rosy complexions, so it seemed that they were recovering quite well.
"We are recovering very well."
Why didn't you say so earlier? She turned to look at Huo Haocheng, and from his expression, she knew he knew. Did Gu Jinghe know too? Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed them all day.
"Don't worry, Dr. Ruan, we will definitely speak up and make Dr. Ruan famous." The girls who didn't understand what Ruan Ruan meant thought that Ruan Ruan wanted them to help spread the word.
However, there were two girls here, holding hands and not making a sound. They looked at Ruan Ruan, unsure whether they should go forward.
"Okay, then remember that. We'll be going now, so we won't bother you any longer." Ruan Ruan didn't offer any further explanation after hearing their words, and turned to leave.
On their way back to Jiang Yuli's office, Ruan Ruan said to her, "Sister-in-law, we'll head back now. Please tell the dean that if there's anything, just come to me."
"Wait, don't go yet. Explain yourself clearly. Is it really true that nothing happened?" Jiang Yuli asked, grabbing Ruan Ruan's shoulder.
"Sister-in-law, it's nothing. I was just thinking that if anyone asks about them, they can help me spread the word so I can earn more money," Ruan Ruan told Jiang Yuli what the girls had just said.
"you..."
"Dr. Jiang, since Ruan Ruan has said so, then you should say the same thing. Leave the rest to us." Huo Haocheng interrupted Jiang Yuli, who was about to say that it was true. So far, none of them knew what kind of person Ruan Ruan's master was, or whether he would cause her trouble. So it was better for as few people as possible to know, so as not to worry others.
Jiang Yuli looked at Huo Haocheng for a while before letting go of Ruan Ruan's hand. "Okay, then you all protect her well."
"Okay, then we'll head back first." Huo Haocheng took Ruan Ruan's hand and led her outside.
"Then, sister-in-law, we'll head back now. When you're free, have my brother take you to the family compound to visit me," Ruan Ruan said, realizing she'd made the right decision when Huo Haocheng took her hand. She said this to Jiang Yuli in a daze before following Huo Haocheng away.
After they left, Jiang Yuli sat in a chair and thought for a long time. She still felt that she should ask Gu Jinghe clearly next time he came.
On the way back, Huo Haocheng finally asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "Can I know who your master is?"
Ruan Ruan stared at Huo Haocheng for a long time, so long that Huo Haocheng thought Ruan Ruan wouldn't answer. Just as he was about to tell her that it was okay if she didn't want to talk about it, Ruan Ruan spoke up and said, "You may not have heard of my master's name, but people of my uncle's generation definitely know it. His name is Bai Shu. People who know him now call him a divine doctor when they hear his name."
My grandfather told me that my master once said on the battlefield that he was fighting Yama, the King of Hell, for people. He said that if he wanted to save someone, Yama couldn't take them away. It was because of him that the soldiers on the battlefield dared to advance bravely. The enemy tried to assassinate him countless times, but he had a poison that made it impossible for anyone to get close to him.
Later, the war ended, and my master disappeared from the world's sight. Everyone said he was a reclusive master who had only come out of the mountains to avoid seeing people die tragically, and now that the war was over, he had returned to the wilderness. But no one knew that when the war ended, the enemy captured my master's wife. They wanted my master to poison Chinese generals. Even though they had lost the war, they wanted to make my master bear eternal infamy and severely damage China.
The master's wife didn't want to see her master's reputation ruined, so she committed suicide using the poison he had previously prepared. Seeing their bargaining chip gone and fearing their master would make them pay for his wife's death, the enemies fled overnight. The master used the Thirteen Ghost Needles to seal his wife's eight extraordinary meridians. For the next several decades, he searched the entire country for the best medicines to save her.
Six years ago, Master found Grandpa. Speaking of Grandpa, Ruan Ruan looked at Huo Haocheng and continued, "Grandpa had a medicine, a 500-year-old ginseng, which he gave away. After that, Grandpa found a place for Master to live in the mountains so that he could take care of Master's wife."
Because I kept going to the mountains, my grandfather suggested that I learn medicine from my master. My master agreed. Two years later, my master's wife woke up. That was the first time I saw my master cry. They say that men don't easily shed tears. That night, my master kept drinking, and my grandfather stayed with him the whole time.
When I was 16, my master said there was nothing more he could teach me, so he told me to take the certification exam. After that, my master and his wife left. I don't know where they went, but I think my grandfather knew.
Furthermore, I think the reason my grandfather insisted I tell him before I started practicing medicine was because he wanted to inform my master and prepare them for the worst. He knew that the people who caused my master's wife's arrest would definitely seek revenge on my master.
