Chapter 1405: Spin-off Thirty-One: Thunder Tribulation
Having successfully developed a prescription, everyone was excited and overjoyed to have satisfactorily resolved the epidemic, especially the doctors who fought on the frontline. They felt proud and honored to have participated in this historic rescue, devoutly treating Mo Yan as a deity. They deeply wished they could serve by her side to enhance their own medical skills further and benefit the countless citizens.
The doctors who accompanied her fared better for they lived in Jing City and had ample opportunities to consult with Mo Yan. The doctors who were temporarily summoned from Weicheng, reluctant to leave their homeland, were also eager to seek medical wisdom from Mo Yan. They wished they could find a way to keep Mo Yan in Weicheng for ten or eight years longer.
Yet, Mo Yan had more important matters to attend to and could only spend the ten or so days waiting for the epidemic to pass answering the doctors’ questions, sharing the insights she had accumulated over her ten-plus years in medicine. Furthermore, before leaving, she took out all her handwritten notes about the special cases she encountered in her practice, allowing the doctors to read and study them in the hope that they would benefit from it.
Even though they only had a brief ten or so days, the doctors of Weicheng gained immensely. Mo Yan’s manuscripts were particularly treasured, as the doctors meticulously copied and printed them into volumes, to be cherished as family heirlooms.
Somehow, the news had leaked. On the day Mo Yan and her group left Weicheng, the streets, once desolate and bleak from the floods and the epidemic, unexpectedly filled with people seeing them off.
Thousands of people stood along both sides of the streets, standing on tiptoes and loudly thanking Mo Yan and her companions, holding high the grains saved from their meager rations to give to Mo Yan and the others. This was the best and most respectable offering they could make.
These citizens already lived hard lives, and Mo Yan could not accept their lifesaving offerings, persuading them to abandon the idea of forcing their gifts upon her after much discussion.
Facing the crowd’s enthusiasm, the departure was quite difficult. What would normally take only a quarter of an hour to pass through the long street and reach the city gates, took them two hours, and they felt relieved only after leaving Weicheng.
