One day, a pregnant woman in the village suddenly went into labor, and the situation was critical. The village midwife was working hard, but the woman was suffering greatly from a difficult delivery. Upon hearing the news, Lin Yue rushed to the woman's home. After examining the woman, she used her medical knowledge to determine that the baby was breech and needed to be adjusted immediately.
When the midwife saw Lin Yue arrive, she said with some displeasure, "What do you, a young woman, know about childbirth? Don't make things worse." Lin Yue ignored her words and calmly said to the woman's family, "Brother and sister, the situation is critical. If we don't adjust the baby's position, both the mother and the baby will be in danger. I have some methods that we might be able to try."
The mother's family hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to trust Lin Yue. Lin Yue washed her hands and carefully helped the mother adjust the baby's position. With her efforts, the baby gradually turned to the correct position, and the mother successfully gave birth to a healthy child.
This incident once again shocked the entire village. Even those villagers who had previously been most skeptical of Lin Yue fell silent. They began to re-evaluate this woman from the city; her medical skills seemed to truly possess miraculous power.
Lin Yue was exhausted after delivering the baby. Chen Yu rushed over and looked at her with concern: "You pushed yourself too hard. What if something had happened?" Lin Yue smiled slightly: "I can't just stand by and watch someone die. After this, I hope everyone can have more trust in modern medicine."
In the days that followed, more and more villagers came to Lin Yue for medical treatment. Although there were still some skeptical voices, they were much fewer than before. While treating the villagers, Lin Yue also made sure to educate them about medical knowledge. She knew that only by helping the villagers truly understand this knowledge could she completely change their perceptions.
Once, a young man in the village accidentally hit his foot with a hoe while working, and the wound was quite deep. He limped over to Lin Yue and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, my foot is badly injured, please take a look at it quickly." While treating his wound, Lin Yue said to the surrounding villagers, "Everyone, you see, in cases like this, where the wound is very deep, you must first clean the dirt around the wound, otherwise it is very easy to get infected."
After treating the wound, Lin Yue told the young man to rest for the next few days and to keep the wound dry. The young man nodded repeatedly, full of gratitude towards Lin Yue.
As time went by, Lin Yue's status in the village gradually changed. The villagers' attitude towards her slowly transformed from initial suspicion and curiosity into respect and trust. Her name was increasingly circulated throughout the village, and everyone knew that there was a young intellectual who had miraculous medical skills in the village.
In this process, Lin Yue also developed a deeper bond with the villagers. She was no longer the stranger who had just arrived, but had become an indispensable member of the village. While helping the villagers relieve their pain, she also found her own value and sense of belonging in this special era.
However, Lin Yue also knew that this was just the beginning. There was still a long way to go before modern medical concepts took root in the village. She would face many more challenges, whether it was resistance from traditional ideas or the scarcity of medical resources. But she was not afraid, because she had her own beliefs and the villagers around her who were gradually understanding and supporting her.
One day, Lin Yue and Chen Yu went to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs. Looking at the herbs covering the hillsides, Lin Yue was filled with emotion. She said to Chen Yu, "Although we don't have modern medical equipment and medicines here, these herbs are a precious gift from nature. We can study them carefully and combine them with modern medical knowledge to better serve the villagers."
Chen Yu looked at Lin Yue, his eyes filled with love and admiration: "You are always so positive and never give up no matter what difficulties you encounter. I believe you can do it."
The two collected many medicinal herbs on the mountain. After returning to the village, Lin Yue began to organize these herbs and explain their effects and uses to some villagers interested in medicine. She hoped to train some villagers to understand herbal medicine so that they could treat some common ailments on their own even when she was not around.
During this process, Lin Yue also discovered some materials that could be used to make simple medical tools. She made simple tweezers and a stretcher from bamboo, and carved some compression tools from wood. Although these homemade medical tools were simple, they were very practical in this era of scarce resources.
As Lin Yue's reputation grew, people from several nearby villages came to her for medical treatment. Lin Yue always obliged, carrying her homemade medical tools and some commonly used herbs, walking along country roads to bring health and hope to more people.
In every village she visited, Lin Yue received a warm welcome from the villagers. She not only treated patients but also held small medical knowledge lectures to spread modern medical concepts. Her footprints covered the surrounding villages, and her kindness and medical skills were deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone she helped.
On her way back from treating patients in a neighboring village, Lin Yue was caught in a downpour. She and the villagers who had accompanied her quickly found shelter in a cave. Inside the cave, they sat together, listening to Lin Yue recount her stories of working as a military doctor in the city. The villagers listened with rapt attention, filled with longing for that distant city and its advanced medical technology.
After the rain stopped, Lin Yue returned to the village, only to find a new situation. Some villagers were experiencing varying degrees of physical discomfort due to overwork and poor sanitation. Lin Yue realized that simply treating the illnesses was not enough; it was necessary to fundamentally improve the villagers' living conditions and work methods to truly restore their health.
