Chapter 12 News of Gu Baobao's Divine Doctor Spreads
The news spread like wildfire throughout the village.
"Have you heard? Gu Jia's chubby girl really pulled Li Hongbing back from the brink of death!"
"The commune doctor said that if we wait any longer, we won't be able to save his leg!"
"That herbal application was amazing! Did Old Master Chen teach you that?"
"Grandpa Chen wasn't there at the time! It was the baby who identified the herbs and ground them into medicine himself!"
"Wow, this girl is really something!"
"It seems that hitting my head repeatedly has finally enlightened me. Is this some kind of divine guidance?"
Gu Baobao's reputation for being able to cure snake venom spread overnight throughout several villages in Qingshan Commune.
Her previous experience of "surviving a near-death experience" has also been shrouded in mystery.
In the dead of night, Gu Baobao entered the space again.
Without immediately checking her merit points, she already knew they had increased by 20 points, bringing her total assets to a staggering 33 points! A huge sum!
Instead, he went straight to the spring.
First, I drank a few mouthfuls of the sweet spring water, feeling the warm current nourishing my tired body and mind.
Then, she took off her outer garment, revealing only her simple inner garment, and slowly sat down in the small spiritual spring pool.
This is a bathtub she had long ago modified, separating it from the spiritual spring drinking water and bath water.
The lukewarm spring water envelops the body, and the spiritual nourishment is more direct and soothing than simply drinking it.
She closed her eyes, letting the power of the spiritual spring gradually wash away the fatigue of her body.
It repairs the mind and spirit exhausted by the high stress of the day, while continuing to subtly improve physical condition.
After soaking for a while, she got up, dried herself off, changed into clean clothes, and went to the villa's kitchen.
I took an apple out of the refrigerator and took a bite.
Sweet and juicy, it's the taste of my memories.
She then used the spiritual spring water to brew some mild and nourishing herbal powder that she had found in the corner of the space, and sipped it slowly.
The changes in myself in the mirror seem a little more obvious than they were a few days ago.
The contours of her cheeks seem clearer, and her chin isn't as round anymore.
With the continuous effect of the spiritual spring, the skin's grayish-yellow tinge faded further, revealing a healthy, moisturized glow.
His eyes were still the brightest, calm and full of life.
But she's still far from being fair-skinned, beautiful, slim-waisted, and long-legged.
Gu Baobao pinched her still chubby waist and abdomen in front of the mirror and sighed.
[Host, you've made incredible progress! Trust in the power of the spiritual spring, and trust in your own treatment plan! Becoming a beautiful and wealthy woman is just around the corner!]
Defu appeared at the right time to act as a cheerleader.
Gu Baobao: [How long is "just around the corner"? At this rate, how long until I become a rich, beautiful, and successful woman?!]
Defu: [Host, don't worry about the details! The process is what matters!]
It's the process of you becoming better and better! Furthermore, according to the analysis of this system,
Your current rate of change is already reasonable and noteworthy enough; any faster and it would raise suspicion. (Serious Analysis.jpg)
Gu Baobao:
Okay. By the way, does the Merit Mall have any 'localized body shaping secrets' or 'slimming aura' or anything like that?
She asked casually, knowing full well that with her current "huge sum" of 33 points, she probably couldn't afford anything.
De Fu was silent for two seconds:
[...Host, this store mainly deals in medical-related products, supplemented by basic survival supplies.]
The "Lying Down and Getting Slim Halo" belongs to the fantasy genre and is not yet available. However,
The book "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Meridian Slimming and Conditioning Therapy (with Acupoint Diagrams)" is categorized under Medical Books and costs 120 merit points. It may be of reference value to you.
Gu Baobao: 【…Never mind, I didn’t ask.】
120 points!
This is robbery!
I should just continue to drink Lingquan tea, do stretching exercises, and control my diet.
She pursed her lips, stopped looking in the mirror, turned and went to the study, where she went to sit under the bright light.
He flipped through a basic Western medicine manual for treating external injuries that he had brought from his spatial dimension, reviewing the events of the day.
Although times have changed and equipment has been scarce, many medical principles remain the same.
Only by learning more and thinking more can we better utilize our knowledge in this era, and also better... accumulate merit.
The atmosphere inside the educated youth compound was completely different.
Ye Ke lay on the hard earthen bed, staring at the dark beams above her head, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The scenes from the daytime kept replaying in her mind:
Gu Baobao's calm and composed handling of the situation, and Wang Da Niang's unreserved rebuttal to Li Hongbing, were praised by those around her as they carried Gu Baobao away.
The lively scene of Li Hongbing's family bringing eggs to the Gu family to express their gratitude at dusk, and the faint discussions about Gu Baobao's miraculous healing skills that drifted through the night...
Each time she thought about it, the fire in her heart burned brighter, and the jealousy and resentment entwined her like poisonous vines.
On what grounds?
How did a country bumpkin manage to steal the spotlight?
Based on some folk remedy that I've heard about from who-knows-where?
That can be called medical skill?
That's a joke!
But ironically, that folk remedy saved a life, gained the approval of the commune doctor, and won the gratitude of the entire village.
Ye Ke, a respectable high school graduate who had read the science and hygiene manual, became the one ridiculed for only making sarcastic remarks.
“Gu Baobao…”
Ye Ke bit the corner of the blanket and squeezed out the name through her teeth, her eyes flashing with resentment in the darkness.
She made a note of this debt.
Just wait and see, the position of barefoot doctor isn't so easy to hold.
She refused to believe that Gu Baobao could have such good luck every time!
One day, she'll find something to use against her and pull her down from that position!
The cold moonlight outside the window couldn't penetrate Ye Ke's heart, which was filled with jealousy.
