Lin Yue and Chen Yu initially didn't notice the impact of these rumors, continuing to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their work at the clinic. Until one day, however, the number of patients suddenly decreased significantly, and the once bustling clinic became deserted. Lin Yue was puzzled. Standing at the clinic's entrance, looking at the empty courtyard, a sense of unease welled up inside her. She asked Chen Yu, "Why is no one coming to see a doctor today? Has something happened?"
Chen Yu frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'll go ask around." With that, he walked out of the infirmary.
Chen Yu walked around the village and soon heard the rumors about Lin Yue. He clenched his fists in anger, his eyes burning with rage, and his face flushed red. He turned and hurried back to the infirmary, telling Lin Yue everything he had heard.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's face turned ashen. A hint of grievance and sadness flashed in her eyes: "I've been dedicated to healing everyone, how could they say such a thing to me..." Her voice trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She recalled how, after transmigrating to this unfamiliar era, she had always tried her best to adapt and use her medical skills to help the villagers, never slacking off for a moment. But now, this was the result. Her heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge stone, making it hard to breathe.
Chen Yu hugged Lin Yue tenderly, saying, "Yue'er, don't be sad. They've just been misled by rumors. We can explain things clearly. Everyone will understand what kind of person you are sooner or later." He gently stroked Lin Yue's hair, trying to comfort her.
Lin Yue wiped away her tears and nodded resolutely, "Yes, we can't let these rumors continue to spread." She knew she couldn't be defeated by these rumors; she had to clear her name and be responsible to the villagers who trusted her.
So, Lin Yue and Chen Yu began to dispel the rumors in the village. They found the sources of the rumors and confronted them face-to-face. Faced with Lin Yue and Chen Yu's questioning, Wang Ermazi and the others were somewhat guilty, but they still tried to argue their point.
“We’re just expressing everyone’s concerns. Who knows if you really have a problem?” Wang Ermazi said, trying to appear calm, but his eyes darted around and he didn’t dare to look Lin Yue in the eye.
Lin Yue looked him straight in the eye and said righteously, "My medical skills are for saving lives, and every treatment method has its scientific basis. Your baseless rumors will harm many villagers who need treatment. What evidence do you have that I am an unlucky person? If you continue like this, causing villagers to be afraid to come for treatment and delaying their conditions, can you bear the responsibility?"
Wang Ermazi was stunned by Lin Yue's imposing manner and was speechless for a moment, but he still snorted unwillingly and muttered under his breath, "Anyway, your things are just strange, we've never seen them before."
During this process, some villagers who had initially believed in Lin Yue began to waver. They wavered between traditional beliefs and modern medical technology, filled with inner conflict. They were grateful to Lin Yue for curing their or their family members' illnesses, yet fearful of the rumors circulating about her. This conflicting psychology made their attitude towards Lin Yue ambiguous.
An elderly man in the village, usually highly respected, had always held reservations about Lin Yue's medical skills. This recent rumor storm had also made him ponder deeply. He felt a pang of sympathy watching Lin Yue and Chen Yu tirelessly working to dispel the rumors throughout the village, yet he also harbored doubts about the unknown medical techniques they possessed.
One day, the old man came to the clinic. He looked at Lin Yue and said slowly, "Lin Yue, although you have saved many people, your methods are indeed different from what we know. These rumors are not unfounded. How will you convince everyone to believe you? Our village has always followed traditions. When something new like you suddenly appears, people are bound to be afraid."
Lin Yue looked at the old man with sincerity in her eyes: "Grandpa, my medical skills are based on scientific training, and every treatment method has its reason. I know everyone has doubts about new things, but please believe me, I am truly doing this for the good of the village. I can prove it with facts; you can observe the patients I have cured, and they are all healthy now."
The old man nodded slightly, then sighed and said, "I hope you can prove yourself and dispel everyone's doubts. This is not only for your own sake, but also for the peace of the village."
Lin Yue knew that words alone were not enough to completely dispel the rumors; she needed to prove it with actions.
In the days that followed, despite the influence of rumors, some villagers with serious illnesses still came seeking medical treatment. Lin Yue treated them even more diligently, striving for perfection in every detail.
A villager suffering from a severe stomach ailment had been tormented by the illness for years. Supported by his family, he arrived at the clinic, each step fraught with difficulty, his face contorted in pain. After a thorough examination, Lin Yue devised a comprehensive treatment plan. During the treatment, she not only utilized her medical skills but also incorporated traditional remedies familiar to the villagers.
She inquired about the villager's condition daily and adjusted the treatment plan based on his feedback. She meticulously planned his diet, recommending foods that were good for his stomach and instructing his family in detail on how to cook them. She also regularly massaged acupoints to relieve his stomach discomfort. Under Lin Yue's attentive care, the villager's condition gradually improved. His family witnessed this process and were filled with gratitude towards Lin Yue.
After recovering, the villager and his family recounted Lin Yue's virtues throughout the village. Though their voices were weak, they shone like a light into the darkness, prompting some villagers misled by rumors to reconsider their actions.
