Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 613 - 603: Making the Antidote_2

The elder was so grateful he almost knelt down before Tangyu, excitedly grabbing Tangyu’s hand, "You’ve saved the old man’s life, you’ve saved our Wan Mountain Village, you are our village’s great benefactor."

"Great benefactor, our Wan Mountain Village will remember you for a lifetime, and generations to come will remember you."

The villagers of Wan Mountain Village also began to express their gratitude en masse.

Feeling so appreciated by many was indeed very nice, but at this moment, Tangyu had no time to enjoy these expressions of gratitude. Instead, he said, "Everyone, please hold your words for now, take the antidote first. This bucket contains about forty kilograms, which I reckon is twenty thousand milliliters, each person needs one hundred milliliters, so this antidote is enough for two hundred people to detoxify. Everyone, please don’t panic, the County Magistrate of Yang County has already sent people to capture the Golden Thread Snakes. Everyone will be okay."

The County Magistrate of Yang County had already begun organizing people to distribute the antidote. Deng Jianguo and the village chief instructed villagers to collect the antidote in an orderly manner, with younger ones drinking the antidote first and the elderly waiting unless their conditions were critical. This way, they also ensured that the lineage of Wan Mountain Village would not face any issues.

"Ye Mai, go and prepare more medicine. After the villagers take the antidote, there will definitely be some impact on their physical functions. You should prepare the medicinal tonics based on this. Once ready, have the villagers who drank the antidote take it, those I’ve treated need not take it," Tangyu instructed.

"Alright, I’ll get on it immediately," Ye Mai promptly called Yu Zhaoke to handle this task.

Seeing everyone taking the antidote and being able to cure two hundred people at once truly allowed Tangyu to breathe a little easier. If they could get just one more Golden Thread Snake, they could ensure that everyone was treated. If they had two more, then they wouldn’t have to struggle to treat everyone manually; everyone could be cured by taking the antidote.

"Shiyi, go arrange for someone to also boil water with the Golden Thread Snake, it needs to simmer for two hours," Tangyu told Liu Shiyi, who immediately nodded and went to execute the task.

Everything was set in motion, and now it was up to fate. The Golden Thread Snake was extremely rare; even Tangyu had only seen it for the first time now. Finding one was lucky enough, and there was no guarantee they could find two. Thus, it was too early to celebrate.

Tangyu dared not rest; all the antidote had been distributed to two hundred and six people. Along with the seventy-three who had been cured previously, a total of two hundred seventy-nine people in Wan Mountain Village were now safe. However, there were still sixty to seventy villagers whose poisoning had not yet been treated.

"Everyone come over, I will continue to treat you," Tangyu resumed his work.

After a brief moment of joy, things returned to their usual course. There was no need to worry about Wan Mountain Village anymore as there were only sixty to seventy people left, and Tangyu was fully capable of saving them all. However, the situation in the other two villages was still very concerning.

The County Magistrate of Yang County also prayed inwardly, desperately hoping for another Golden Thread Snake to be found.

Perhaps the County Magistrate’s prayers were effective, because an hour later, the people sent to catch Golden Thread Snakes came running back with a bag, a look of joy on their faces as they addressed Tangyu, "Divine Doctor Tang, a big haul indeed! We’ve found a nest of Golden Thread Snakes, though a few escaped. We’ve brought back five in total. Divine Doctor Tang, will these be enough? If not, we’ll go back and try to catch those that escaped."

"A nest! Five snakes!" Tangyu was initially stunned, then overjoyed, "You really gave me a huge surprise! Well done, very well done. I’ll make sure the County Magistrate gives you all a commendation. Five snakes, that’s enough to save everyone."

Tangyu took the bag from the man, opened it, and saw indeed there were five snakes, about the same size as the previous Golden Thread Snakes. Having three was actually enough. With two extra, of course, they shouldn’t be wasted, so Tangyu also collected their blood, then stored it for himself. As for the bodies of the five Golden Thread Snakes, Tangyu naturally kept those too. The Golden Thread Snake was valuable in its entirety; it would have been a pity to discard them. Not to mention, it would provide a lavish meal for the Fiery Demon Evening King, so of course, Tangyu had to keep them.

After preparing the antidote, Tangyu had the County Magistrate organize the distribution to the other two villages. Doctor Xiao and Rao Yuanzhi, upon receiving the call, also sighed in relief.

With enough antidote, Tangyu finally completely relaxed; the incident was resolved with more relief than danger.

"Tangyu, I told you there is always a way out, I said you could do it, and you really did. You saved everyone; you’re their hero and our hero in our hearts too," Liu Shiyi was also very happy for Tangyu.

Tangyu smirked and asked, "So, am I your hero too?"

When Tangyu asked such a question, Liu Shiyi was also stunned and immediately turned her face away. She really didn’t know how to answer that question, which troubled her deeply. She had no doubt that Tangyu liked her. She just didn’t know how to accept the fact that Tangyu had a girlfriend, how to interact with Tangyu, to be the despised mistress? Or to compete with Lin Feifei for Tangyu? Neither was what Liu Shiyi wanted. So, she was conflicted and didn’t want to face it, pretending as if it had never happened.

Ouyang Mulin also came over, patted Tangyu on the shoulder, and said, "You’ve created another miracle; you’re naturally born to create miracles. I’ve already shared the good news with President Bi; he’s very happy and proud of you. President Bi even joyfully said if you’re willing, he’d like to marry his beloved granddaughter to you. Haha, if I had a granddaughter, I’d want her to marry you too."

"Ah, Mr. Ouyang, you flatter me; it was just good luck this time," Tangyu said. To claim that he had created the miracle himself would indeed make Tangyu feel somewhat embarrassed. Of course, he could technically claim it, since after all, he had discovered the antidote.

Tangyu walked over to Group Leader Kong with a smile and said, "Group Leader Kong, I must thank you for showing me those photos, or else I really would have been out of options. Finding the antidote, Group Leader Kong, you have also contributed greatly."

Group Leader Kong shook his head and smiled, saying, "Divine Doctor Tang, if you say that, I’ll feel embarrassed. I just took a few photos; the rest had nothing to do with me. Divine Doctor Tang, no need for modesty; everyone sees your merits, you saved the villagers, and you are truly their hero."

The County Magistrate of Yang County came over and said, "Divine Doctor Tang, Group Leader Kong, neither of you need to be modest; both of you have made great contributions. On behalf of Yang County and Miyun Town, I thank you both. Especially you, Divine Doctor Tang, you are a great hero of Yang County; you saved the villagers. Please accept my gratitude." After saying this, the County Magistrate bowed deeply to Tangyu in thanks.

Tangyu immediately helped the County Magistrate up. "County Magistrate, you’re going to jinx me now, right? County Magistrate, do you have some time later? I’d like to talk to you privately," Tangyu said.

"Oh, of course, whenever, just come and find me," the County Magistrate replied promptly.

"Alright," Tangyu nodded.

All the villagers took the antidote, and its effect was very rapid and clear. Soon, everyone had recovered. The villagers of Wanshan Village thanked Tangyu, along with others, amid much gratitude. The previously oppressive atmosphere of Wanshan Village was once again lively and vibrant, especially amongst the children who, gathering around Tangyu, called him ’Brother Tangyu’ with great affection.

With all the villagers rescued, everyone was relieved and delighted to mingle with the villagers in harmony.

The antidote was also sent to Niu Family Village and Shui Fan; the person in charge there distributed the antidote to the villagers, and soon news came that everyone was fine there as well. With this, all the people in the three villages were saved without a single death, achieving a perfect victory.

Doctor Xiao and Rao Yuanzhi also rushed over.

After calming the children, Tangyu finally found a moment to come to Liu Shiyi’s side and said, "Shiyi, do you have a moment now? Can we talk?"

"Now? Us?" Liu Shiyi widened her eyes slightly.

"Yes, now, us," Tangyu nodded.

Liu Shiyi bit her lip and hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded involuntarily.

Tangyu took Liu Shiyi over to the County Magistrate and said, "County Magistrate, is now a good time?"

"Yes, of course, let’s go to my car; it’s quieter there," the County Magistrate nodded immediately.

Liu Shiyi was surprised and looked at Tangyu, thinking he had something private to say to her alone; why was the County Magistrate involved now?

This guy, misleading someone into getting their hopes up.
