CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 140:

Doctor Tian was suddenly baffled, as if he had been struck on the head with a club.

He checked Teacher Bai’s pulse again, and to his shock, there was no heartbeat.

The surrounding villagers saw Doctor Tian’s expression suddenly turn to horror and asked in a panic, "Doctor Tian, what’s wrong? Is Teacher Bai okay?"

Doctor Tian remained dumbfounded and speechless. The villager who was administering the medicine suddenly noticed that Teacher Bai wasn’t breathing and was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Teacher, Teacher Bai, he, he, he seems to have stopped breathing..."

What?

Everyone was shocked.

Doctor Tian staggered back several steps, cold sweat covering his face, and he stammered in fear,

"No, this is impossible, the family remedy can’t be wrong, how could it kill someone..."

Kill someone...

Right!

The villagers suddenly realized that Nianyang had firmly claimed earlier that Doctor Tian’s remedy would be lethal, which they hadn’t believed, and now it had come true!

"How could this happen? Is it our fault that Teacher Bai died?"

Everyone was in complete chaos, and some of the more timid villagers directly broke down and cried.

Because earlier, when Nianyang warned them, there was still a chance to save him.

But they didn’t listen and forcibly gave Teacher Bai the medicine, resulting in his breath stopping. Now even an Immortal couldn’t bring him back!

"The heavens are dooming our village..."

Town Mayor Zhang Jianjun hurriedly arrived and upon hearing the news of Teacher Bai’s death, turned pale with fright.

Teacher Bai was a teacher from the city but died in their village, and it was due to using the wrong prescription...

He could imagine with his toe what kind of dire situation the village would fall into next...

"Who said Teacher Bai is dead?"

In the chaos, a girl’s gentle and calm voice, carrying a compelling strength, reached everyone’s ears.

"Nian, Nianyang girl, what do you mean, could it be that Teacher Bai can still be saved?"

Zhang Jianjun asked in shock, not willing to miss any opportunity.

Other villagers also looked nervously at Nianyang, as if clinging to the last straw for survival.

Nianyang didn’t answer immediately, she just walked to Teacher Bai and crouched down, first taking his pulse, then checking his eyelids and looking at his tongue coating.

"Everyone, don’t panic, Teacher Bai isn’t dead yet, the toxins have just spread too fast, causing a blockage in his bloodstream and resulting in shock. It hasn’t reached a dead-end; I can heal him."

Nianyang spoke with calm assurance and composed resolve.

It was like a drop of hot oil falling into cool water, igniting a spark!

The villagers were so excited that they could go crazy, eagerly pleading for Nianyang to treat him quickly, where was that earlier distrust and contempt for Nianyang?

However, some villagers scoffed, "Teacher Bai is clearly dead, instead of finding a way to deal with the authorities, you’re still pretending to save him, what a joke!"

In the crowd, Gu Youlan and Wang Ying watched this scene with sneers, thinking Gu Nianyang was foolish; a wise person would keep their distance at such a time.

Yet she, for the sake of showing off, deliberately went up!

Obviously, Teacher Bai was already dead, yet she claimed she could heal him. Did she think she was an Immortal?

Today, they were going to see how this fool would clean up the mess!

★

Nianyang didn’t care what everyone thought. She had anticipated this scene before coming, so she deliberately brought a backpack as a cover.

Now, she directly took out a complete set of stomach-pumping tools from the of the backpack behind her.

If she had been allowed to treat Teacher Bai from the start, she would have only needed to give him the Detoxification Pill she made to cure him.

But because Doctor Tian stubbornly insisted on giving Teacher Bai that medicinal soup, causing the toxins to worsen, she had to resort to stomach pumping to remove the toxins from Teacher Bai’s body.
