Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1973 - 1959: Treating the Plague (Part 2)

"Alright, alright, I’ll take care of it immediately," the mayor readily agreed and took swift action.

With the silver needle in hand, Chen Yang commenced acupuncture treatment on several critically ill patients.

This disaster-related illness cannot be eradicated by acupuncture alone; its use is limited to preventing further deterioration of the patients' conditions.

It serves as a method to buy valuable time.

This was a measure of last resort; had the patients not been in such dire straits, he would not have resorted to this.

After completing the acupuncture on all critical patients, the herbal concoction was just ready.

A large pot of the herbal brew was brought into the room by the staff.

Instantly, the entire room was permeated with an invigorating, natural herbal fragrance.

It felt as though the oppressive atmosphere in the room dissipated, revitalizing everyone's spirits.

"Chen Yang, the herbs you requested are here. What should we do next?" the mayor inquired promptly.

"One bowl for mild cases, two bowls for severe cases. Have them drink it," Chen Yang instructed.

"Alright, alright," the mayor affirmed, nodding repeatedly and immediately calling for personnel to implement the plan. "Little Wang, quickly take people to do as Chen Yang said."

The doctors present were mostly from the town clinic, and their capabilities were quite limited.

Facing this sudden outbreak, they possessed no insights and could only follow instructions, without question.

Immediately, they proceeded as the mayor and Chen Yang had directed.

Once everyone had consumed the medicinal brew prepared from Chen Yang's formula, the effects began to manifest rapidly.

Their eyes gradually regained clarity, and the swelling in their bodies appeared to be controlled, ceasing to worsen.

Despite the improvements, a complete recovery had not yet been achieved; the patients' conditions remained quite serious.

"Chen Yang, your formula has shown some effect, but it seems it cannot cure the illness, merely suppressing the patients' conditions," the mayor reported to Chen Yang.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately re-examined the patients.

After a thorough inspection, he confirmed that indeed, there were no recoveries, only a temporary suppressive effect.

"It appears I have underestimated this calamity. The issue is more complex than I initially imagined," Chen Yang stated.

Hearing this, the mayor grew somewhat anxious.

"What should we do, Chen Yang? Do you have any other methods?"

"I have not encountered this disaster illness often. Let me conduct further research. I cannot provide a definitive answer at this moment," Chen Yang replied.

"Alright, alright. You research first. If you require anything, just let me know, and I will have it arranged for you promptly," the mayor assured him.

"Mm."

Chen Yang gave a slight nod and then continued with his examination of the patients' conditions, saying little more.

Regarding this disaster illness, Chen Yang truly did not possess extensive knowledge.

This was due to never having encountered it before.

With such an incident occurring suddenly, he naturally needed to study it thoroughly before drawing any conclusions.

Otherwise, blindly prescribing medicine would only prove counterproductive.

Chen Yang was diligently studying the illness within the house when, simultaneously, two buses arrived at the entrance of Linghe Village.

A considerable number of young men disembarked from the buses, led by a robust middle-aged man.

Upon their arrival, they immediately replaced the police blockade and initiated a comprehensive investigation and search within Linghe Village.

Although they were dressed as ordinary civilians, their professionalism far surpassed that of specialized personnel, and their methods were notably more advanced.

These individuals were none other than members of the secret agency, led by Ma Jiantao.

They conducted extensive searches and inspections throughout the village for several hours.

Whether they reached any definitive conclusions remained unknown.

Regardless, after the investigation and search were concluded, the village came under their jurisdiction, and all former staff were relegated to assistant roles.

It was at this juncture that Chen Yang, inside the house, finally reached a research conclusion.

Taking into full consideration the human body's various aspects, and with the aid of the medical scripture, Chen Yang devised an excellent prescription.

One that could guarantee a 100% recovery from this disaster illness.

Having attained research results, Chen Yang promptly sought out the mayor to communicate his findings.

The mayor was greatly excited upon learning of a method to cure the illness.

"Wonderful, Chen Yang! Proceed as you see fit, and I will fully cooperate with you," the mayor expressed, placing great faith in Chen Yang.

"Alright, then I shall make the arrangements, Mayor. However, there is something I must emphasize beforehand: my method can ensure a 100% recovery, but it requires a longer duration and, moreover, a greater quantity of medicine is needed," Chen Yang stated.

The mayor understood the severity of the disaster illness's spread, recognizing that this was not the time to be concerned about such matters.

As long as the situation could be managed and the patients successfully treated, all other issues would be of secondary concern.

"Chen Yang, these are not problems; proceed as you see fit. I have faith in you," the mayor declared with resolve.

"Very well, I shall commence immediately."

With no further obstacles apparent, Chen Yang wasted no time and departed the mayor's residence to prepare for his return journey to Linghe Village.

In accordance with his recent investigations, this catastrophic illness, while severe, possessed a counteracting agent in a specific commercially available medicine.

As a fortunate coincidence, this particular medicine was the flagship product of the Linghe Village pharmaceutical factory, and their current stock was ample.

Therefore, his plan was to hurry back to Linghe Village and acquire a sufficient quantity of the medicine from the factory for the afflicted.

Should it prove effective, its continued application would be ensured.

"Hmm? Why do some of these individuals seem familiar."

As he approached the village entrance, Chen Yang immediately noted a change in the people stationed there.

Upon deeper contemplation, were these not members of the secret agency?

"Could it be that the secret agency has taken control?"

Chen Yang's mind raced with various possibilities in that instant.

However, the immediate priority was not to dwell on these speculations but to stabilize the patients' conditions.

Consequently, he refrained from asking questions and drove directly to the Linghe Village pharmaceutical factory.

Meanwhile, the factory's management was actively engaged in preparations, anticipating a potential field inspection in a neighboring town later that afternoon.

If the medicinal herbs proved satisfactory, plans for factory expansion would be considered.

Upon sighting Chen Yang's arrival, the factory staff assumed it was time to depart for their scheduled outing.

Yet, to their surprise, Chen Yang had arrived to cancel the investigation.

"Everyone, there has been a significant development in a nearby village; the herbal investigation cannot proceed today. I have matters of greater urgency to attend to..."

Chen Yang offered a concise explanation of the prevailing circumstances.

Among those present were individuals well-versed in medical matters.

Upon hearing of the outbreak of a disaster illness, they immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.

They expressed their understanding, and some even offered assistance, which Chen Yang politely declined.

"Currently, the situation is not overly complicated, and we have sufficient personnel. There is no need for any of you to join in," Chen Yang stated after clarifying the situation, then promptly shifted focus to the primary objective.

He addressed the factory manager directly, inquiring, "Manager, what is our current inventory of our flagship product, the Baicao Bag?"

The Baicao Bag was indeed one of the factory's premier products, enjoying considerable popularity in the market.

Chen Yang believed that the diverse array of herbs it contained, coupled with its medicinal properties, aligned perfectly with the requirements for treating the disaster illness, and thus, he intended to utilize it.

The factory manager, though initially uncertain, responded to Chen Yang, "Mr. Chen, our storage is quite substantial. What are your directives?"

"Please prepare the entire remaining stock for me and dispatch it to Linghe Village. This medicine has proven effective in treating the disaster illness," Chen Yang instructed.

Hearing that their product could be instrumental in treating the disaster illness, the factory manager and his staff felt a surge of enthusiasm.

This suggested that their Baicao Bag possessed significant therapeutic value.

If they could indeed contribute to the successful treatment of this disaster illness, its market demand would undoubtedly skyrocket in the future!

"Certainly, Mr. Chen. I will arrange for transportation immediately and ensure it is delivered," the factory manager readily agreed, promptly organizing the logistics to move all available factory inventory to Linghe Village.

With all arrangements made, Chen Yang returned once more to Linghe Village, where he began guiding the local physicians on the proper administration of the medicine to the patients.

"The Baicao Bag is to be administered twice daily. Continue with the herbal decoction each day, and additionally, every evening, utilize the silver needle to stabilize the patients' conditions," Chen Yang detailed every step the doctors needed to take.

The renown of Chen Yang, the Divine Doctor, had already permeated the entire county, ensuring that no one present dared to question his instructions.

Every individual diligently adhered to Chen Yang's directives.
