Chapter 71 A Bowl of Bitter Spring Water
After living in the military camp for a few days, Gu Yu gradually got used to the life here. Every morning, he would watch Gu Mengyao train soldiers, then report to the military medical office, and then be pestered by Shen Tu asking about difficult and complicated diseases. By noon, he would eat lunch sweetly with his little wife.
After that, he continued to be pestered by Shen Tu in the afternoon. After dinner, he finally had time to stroll around with Gu Mengyao. His small life was indeed very ordinary.
Of course, sometimes, being late was unavoidable.
However, Gongsun Jie did not watch Gu Yu too strictly, so even if Gu Yu was late, with Shen Tu’s cover, it was not a big problem.
But even though life was ordinary, the most crucial point was forgotten.
This is a battlefield!
Several days had passed, and not a single war had occurred. The calmness made people feel depressed, only wanting to end the military camp life quickly and go back to their respective homes…
As Gu Yu watched another soldier suffering from a cold leave, Shen Tu, with a worried expression, walked up to him holding a piece of paper recording the soldiers’ conditions, his expression becoming more and more tangled.
Shen Tu’s intentions were already very clear as he stood beside Gu Yu.
He wanted to ask Gu Yu how to cure this common cold.
Unlike his previous appearance of not wanting to trouble Gu Yu, after a few days, the condition of the soldiers in the military camp was not very good. When no method could cure it, Shen Tu vaguely felt that something was wrong.
However, no matter how Shen Tu investigated, the only cause of illness he found was a cold.
There was nothing different.
This result made Shen Tu at a loss. Then, he thought of the more skilled Gu Yu being here, so it was better to ask than not to ask!
Maybe, this is a new type of cold!
“Hmm, is it lunchtime? I didn’t get to eat one of the dishes yesterday, so I must get it today.”
Shen Tu wanted Gu Yu to solve it, but Gu Yu did not want to ask for trouble.
It’s just a cold.
Even if it were a new virus, it would be very difficult to find a cure without knowing the cause.
Although Gu Yu could also find the cause of the illness, he didn’t want to!
He would rather spend more time with his little wife.
Although he performed his duties according to his position, Gu Yu’s identity as a military doctor was forcibly imposed on him by Gongsun Jie. This made Gu Yu very unhappy, thinking that he would do free work without even getting paid. Absolutely not!
In the past, Gu Yu thought he might have misunderstood, but after finding Gongsun Jie and probing indirectly, he found out that there was really no money!!!
The reason why, was because the deputy general from the capital did not receive a salary, so Gu Yu, as an accompanying personnel, also did not receive a penny.
One sentence made Gu Yu very angry.
He thought this was more exploitative than a boss working 996!
Without even a salary, why work!
Because he was upset about not being paid, Gu Yu didn’t want to mind his own business. He just wanted to clock in and pretend to have been there, so why bother with so many troubles.
Gu Yu was inherently a cold person. Don’t try to confine him with those rules and regulations. Besides, everyone in the military camp was a stranger. If it weren’t for Gu Mengyao being here, Gu Yu would never have come.
Therefore, when Shen Tu wanted to persuade Gu Yu further, Gu Yu quickly left the military medical office and walked quickly towards the cafeteria, wanting to see Gu Mengyao as soon as possible!
Along the way, more and more soldiers were coughing, which made Gu Yu frown. He didn’t expect the illness to spread so quickly.
Before, only a few people had caught a cold.
“Yu, do you know about the cold that has appeared in the military camp recently?”
“Hmm… I heard Shen Tu mention it. What’s wrong?”
“Today, soldiers from the Spike Team have contracted a cold. They are so uncomfortable that they can’t come out for training. I’m worried they might have an accident, so I came to ask you.”
When Gu Yu arrived at the cafeteria, more than half of the people were gone. Later, when Gu Yu sat down, he saw Gu Mengyao with a worried expression. She hadn’t even eaten, and it looked like she was troubled by something.
Upon seeing Gu Yu arrive, Gu Mengyao stopped worrying and immediately began to ask about the cold.
Facing his wife’s request, Gu Yu naturally would not stand by coldly.
After receiving the news that the Spike Team had also been infected, Gu Yu knew why Gu Mengyao was so uneasy.
Gu Mengyao had invested a lot of effort in the Spike Team, so she was very worried when she saw the soldiers getting sick.
If it were a normal cold, it would be fine, but now it seemed abnormal!
“Is it very serious?”
“Yes, they can’t even get out of bed, and even going to the military medical office doesn’t help. They are usually very healthy and have good physical fitness under high-intensity training… I didn’t expect them to collapse from a cold now.”
“I’m afraid it’s not that simple. On the first day I went to the military medical office, I saw someone suffering from a cold, but the situation was not serious. They looked energetic… Now, the Spike Team also has someone infected, and it’s so severe on the first day. Perhaps it’s not the same illness?”
“But the news I heard from the Spike Team is like this, and it’s very similar to the symptoms of a cold! Because I was worried, I initially wanted to go and see, but they stopped me, saying that I couldn’t be infected with the cold.”
Hearing Gu Yu say this, Gu Mengyao didn’t know what to do.
From the symptoms, it really was just a common cold.
But how could there be such a severe cold that made people too weak to get out of bed as soon as they were infected.
According to other soldiers’ descriptions, the sick person was very uncomfortable, looking as if they couldn’t bear it and wanted to commit suicide. They were directly tied up with ropes to prevent them from doing anything foolish.
Therefore, the situation was very serious now!
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible to prevent it from escalating further.
“Mengyao, don’t worry. At worst, when I get back, I’ll start treating these soldiers.”
“Yu, do you have a way to treat it?”
“No.”
“…”
Gu Yu was not in a hurry about the cold.
Although he had the thought that it was not his own illness, Gu Mengyao was so anxious now that Gu Yu could not stay out of it.
Since it was his wife’s request, Gu Yu immediately came up with a solution.
“But I have space! Don’t forget, the spring water in my space can cure all diseases, so no matter what kind of cold it is, it can be cured by directly drinking the spring water.”
“The spring water in space?”
“Yes, I’ve used it before. However, it was only for strengthening the body, so you didn’t think of it for a while. When we can’t determine the cause of the cold, we can completely use the spring water as medicine.”
“Why didn’t you use it before?”
“…As you know, I’m afraid of trouble. Treating one patient after another, so many patients, I’m too lazy to do it.”
After hearing Gu Yu propose a solution, Gu Mengyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What she feared most was that even Gu Yu had no solution, otherwise, it would be even more difficult to solve.
Fortunately, Gu Yu was very effective and directly came up with a solution at this time.
However, when asked why he only brought it out now, Gu Yu couldn’t help but scratch his hair, and what came out of his mouth made Gu Mengyao feel like crying and laughing.
Her little husband was truly too lazy!
However, it was effective to go along with Yu’s mood.
If he were forced, it would not only be ineffective but also have the opposite effect.
…
After determining the treatment plan, Gu Yu did not let Gu Mengyao worry. Led by other members of the Spike Team, Gu Yu went directly to the dormitory and poured a bowl of medicinal water into the patient. Amidst the bitter taste, the soldiers with colds had their symptoms significantly alleviated.
Seeing this, others widened their eyes in surprise.
They didn’t expect Gu Yu to be so skilled not only in medicinal powder but also in medical skills!
After pouring a bowl of medicinal water directly, it immediately took effect!
Even the imperial physicians in the palace were not so skilled!
Just as everyone was thinking this, they didn’t know that this miraculous medicinal water was just spring water from space mixed with bitter root powder.
The spring water from space had a significant effect in treating diseases, so it was not Gu Yu’s superb medical skills that achieved immediate results.
Fortunately, Gu Yu did not need to explain these things to others. After pouring for one patient after another, and when all the medicinal water in his hands was used up, he could finally rest for a while!
This job was too tiring!
Although Gu Yu did not have to do it himself, soldiers on the side would pry open the patient’s mouth, and Gu Yu would casually scoop a spoonful of medicinal water into a bowl, then approach the patient expressionlessly and pour the entire bowl of bitter ‘medicinal water’ down their throat…
This series of actions gave Gu Yu an illusion.
He seemed to have become Rong Mo Mo…
“Brother-in-law Gu, the patients here have been given the medicine. You can go back now! Xiao San, take Brother-in-law back to the military medical office. Be sure to be careful.”
“Okay.”
Afterward, while Gu Yu was wondering if he was a male version of Rong Mo Mo, a voice suddenly sounded, reminding Gu Yu that it was time to go back.
This made Gu Yu nod, thinking that he could finally rest and no longer had to continue pouring medicine.
These patients had already been given spring water once, and he believed that their symptoms would be much lighter. If they were given it again tomorrow, they would be as lively as ever within three days, and would no longer be as weak and powerless as they were today.
Although he didn’t know the reason for this new type of cold, Gu Yu didn’t want to delve into it… He already had enough trouble, and Gu Yu didn’t want to ask for trouble. He might as well remain a handsome man and live a peaceful life in the military camp!
Questions like these were better left to Shen Tu and Gongsun Jie to solve. It had nothing to do with him.
Thinking this way, Gu Yu returned to the military medical office under the escort of Xiao San.
“Divine Doctor Gu, you’re finally back. How should we deal with these soldiers? They’ve been here for almost an hour, and it’s really making me anxious.”
“???”
“I don’t know why these people suddenly ran over and said that Divine Doctor Gu was treating the cold…”
Listening to Shen Tu’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh, and then he thought that what was coming would eventually come, and he wasn’t surprised at all.
Even for his little wife, he would treat them!
Anyway, it was just a bowl of bitter spring water, and now that he was back in the military medical office, Shen Tu would handle it, and he only needed to provide the spring water and bitter root.

Sorry, I wanted to update late last night, but my eyes hurt so much that I wanted to lie down for a while. As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep. The author is also impressed by my speed of sleeping!!!
