Chapter 131 Passionate Pursuers

"no problem."

Jiang Yutang spoke with certainty, her hands moving swiftly towards the next wounded: "These medicines can control the deterioration, and after the rotten flesh is cleaned away, the wound will slowly heal."

She treated several infected wounded patients in succession, until the last one.

His arm was infected deep into the bone marrow, and the ulceration was severe.

Jiang Yutang squatted down and gently advised, "Your arm can't be saved. Amputation is the only way for you to survive."

The soldier struggled violently, resisting with all his might, his voice hoarse: "I won't stop! I'd rather die than be crippled!"

"Life doesn't stop just because you've lost an arm."

She comforted him gently, her eyes sincere: "You will get married and have children in the future, and your parents are still waiting for you to come home. Is it really worth giving up your whole life for a useless arm?"

The soldier was startled, staring blankly at her. The resistance in his eyes gradually faded, and finally, with reddened eyes, he nodded.

All night long, the soldiers' painful cries echoed from the rescue tents, reverberating throughout the entire camp.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. The next morning, the soldiers whose infected wounds had been treated by Jiang Yutang showed significant improvement.

The two doctors were shocked and surrounded her, pressing her for answers.

"What exactly did you give the wounded? Was it some kind of legendary elixir?"

Jiang Yutang scratched his cheek and laughed it off, "I discovered it by accident, it's not really that amazing..."

In this era, modern anti-inflammatory drugs are indeed no different from "elixirs".

The news spread quickly, and all the soldiers were talking about it: a female doctor had come to the camp. She had a benevolent face, but she was ruthless. She had become a miracle doctor at a young age and was developing her own elixirs.

Jiang Yutang only heard about this the next day from a wounded soldier who was having his dressing changed.

But the praise didn't bring her any joy; instead, all she could think about was "it's all over."

Her modern medicines and medical skills were shrouded in mystery in this era. If the reputation of her as a "miracle doctor" were to reach the ears of the emperor in the capital, it would not only cause trouble for her but also implicate her entire family.

But the news had already spread, and with so many people and so many opinions in the military camp, the news was spreading faster than the wind, so it was necessary to stop its spread as soon as possible.

Jiang Yutang was sitting in the corner of the tent, looking lost in thought, when Cheng Lanzhou returned from his patrol. Seeing her pale face, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yutang snapped out of her daze, looked at the person in front of her, and her mind started working.

Now, in this outer camp, the only one who can wield absolute power to suppress information is Cheng Lanzhou.

Although Cheng Lanzhou was also a convicted criminal, his past military achievements are still admirable.

She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and solemnly said, "Cheng Lanzhou, I have a request to make."

Cheng Lanzhou raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

When he heard that she wanted to suppress the rumors about the "miracle doctor," he was clearly surprised and asked thoughtfully, "Wouldn't it be a good thing for you to become a hero who saves lives?"

Jiang Yutang forced a bitter smile: "In this chaotic world, having special abilities isn't necessarily a blessing. I just want to live a peaceful life with my family."

Cheng Lanzhou stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said decisively, "Okay, I promise you."

He was extremely efficient, and in less than half a day, the rumors about the "goddess doctor" in the camp changed.

Everyone was saying that the miracle cure was actually made from rare herbs that the soldiers had accidentally discovered in the mountains. However, because the dosage was so large, that patch of herbs had been completely harvested.

The two doctors who knew the truth were also spoken to separately by Cheng Lanzhou.

Although no one knows what they talked about, from then on, the two never mentioned the origin of the drug, but every time they looked at Jiang Yutang, their eyes were filled with more curiosity.

That day, Jiang Yutang was changing the dressing of a soldier with a leg injury when the old doctor next to him finally couldn't hold back and asked, seemingly casually.

"Miss Jiang, what is your relationship with General Cheng? He seems to care about you a lot."

Another person chimed in, asking, "Yes, General Cheng, are you married yet?"

Jiang Yutang's hand trembled, and the ointment almost got on the wound. She quickly laughed it off, "It's nothing special. They probably just took extra care of me because they saw that it wasn't easy for a woman like me in the camp. Don't make wild guesses."

As the three were talking, the tent flap was lifted, and a tall man walked in.

He smiled broadly as soon as he entered, his gaze fixed intently and passionately on Jiang Yutang.

Feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze, Jiang Yutang stopped what she was doing and asked, "Is there something you need?"

The man slowly stepped forward, his voice clear and bright: "Miss Jiang, I am Captain Yan, whom you rescued a few days ago."

Jiang Yutang looked him up and down in surprise: "Is it really you? I didn't recognize you at all."

Lieutenant Yan laughed heartily: "My face was covered in blood that day, I must have looked horrible. Thanks to you, my leg healed so quickly."

Jiang Yutang adopted a serious expression and instructed, "Your wound hasn't fully healed yet, so don't walk around too much for now, lest it reopen."

Captain Yan nodded slightly, his gaze sincere: "By the way, may I ask how Miss Jiang is addressed? My name is Yan Qingzhou."

The other party's enthusiastic statement was too abrupt; anyone with eyes could see that he harbored feelings of affection for Jiang Yutang.

The two doctors next to him immediately stopped what they were doing, crossed their arms, and watched with amusement.

Jiang Yutang naturally sensed this straightforward affection, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she softly gave her name: "My name is Jiang Yutang."

He then added tactfully, "Saving lives is my duty. No matter who it is, I will do my best to treat them. You don't need to worry about it."

Captain Yan laughed heartily, his voice booming, "Miss Jiang is not only a skilled physician, but also so intelligent and cheerful. I love that kind of personality!"

He abruptly changed the subject, no longer beating around the bush, and looked intently at Jiang Yutang: "Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush either. May I ask, are you already married?"

The tent fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Everyone looked at them curiously, even the seriously wounded soldier lying at the innermost part struggled to turn his head.

Jiang Yutang twitched the corners of her mouth, struggling with how to start the conversation, when suddenly the tent flap was pulled open from the outside.

Cheng Lanzhou walked in, exuding a cold aura. His gaze swept over the scene inside the tent, and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you all doing gathered here?"

Jiang Yutang, like a child caught red-handed, quickly lowered her head and got back to her work.

Lieutenant Yan was frank and straightforward. He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "General Cheng, I have come to thank Miss Jiang for saving my life."

Cheng Lanzhou frowned almost imperceptibly: "After thanking me, go back and rest. You can rejoin the team once you've recovered from your injuries. If you're too idle, go patrol the perimeter of the camp."

"yes!"

Military orders are hard to disobey, so Captain Yan reluctantly agreed.

He turned and walked out of the tent, but didn't forget to look back at Jiang Yutang deeply, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
