Chapter 455: Chapter 73 This is Absolutely Impossible

Li Yu briefly taught Amanda how to give an injection, and afterwards, she successfully injected the penicillin from the syringe into Donia’s body.

The young girl grimaced in pain as she eagerly directed her gaze back to her palm, but the terrifying brown papules had not disappeared.

"Did it... fail?"

"No," said Li Yu, "Removing a curse is not something that can be done in one go."

After a pause, he asked Amanda, "Where are the others?"

Amanda hesitated, obviously still skeptical about the effects of the clear liquid in the syringe, but Donia said, "It’s okay, just tell him. After all, we don’t have any other choice."

Upon hearing this, Amanda finally made up her mind and nodded to Li Yu, "I will take you to them."

"I’ll go with you, that might add a bit more persuasive power," Donia said, rubbing her bottom.

Afterwards, under Amanda’s guidance, they visited the homes of the patients one by one.

According to Amanda’s count, there were a total of three hundred thirty-six people living on the farm. Li Yu checked and found that about two hundred were in the first and second stages, the oldest being two hundred and twenty years old and the youngest not even a year old.

The remaining nearly one hundred fifty people were in a more serious condition, having progressed to the third stage, with some even incapable of getting out of bed, having to rely on Amanda and others to feed them and take care of them.

For these people, Li Yu had no confidence in curing them completely, as penicillin only controls inflammation and cannot repair organs that have been damaged.

For those who had long been tormented by illness, Li Yu first gave them some ibuprofen.

At first, the patients in the farm were as wary and skeptical of Li Yu, the heathen, as Amanda had been.

But when the ibuprofen took effect, the news that Li Yu could remove curses quickly spread throughout the farm.

After that, without the need for Li Yu to visit each household or for Donia, the daughter of the Singleton family, to act as a guarantor, those afflicted with curses came out of their homes like thirsty travelers in the desert finally seeing an oasis.

They all came out from their houses, pleading with Li Yu to save them.

So Li Yu set up a table beside the well where he met Amanda, and began moonlighting as a barefoot doctor.

And a barefoot doctor from the eighties or nineties, no less.

Li Yu had brought quite a few penicillin vials with him, but divided among three hundred people, they were not enough. He estimated that all his stock was just enough to barely give each person one injection.

As for syringes, of course, there were even fewer—only nine in total. So, one syringe per person, throwing them away after use was definitely out of the question.

Li Yu had someone boil a pot of water, disinfecting the needle after each injection by soaking it in the boiling water for five minutes—this was the most he could do.

He kept busy until the sun was about to set and managed to inject two hundred ninety-seven people in total. Logically, there should still have been thirty-nine patients on the farm.

But they clearly demonstrated their devotion to Julius through their actions.

Li Yu waited a while longer and, seeing that no one else was coming, he told Jude and the others to pack up.

Afterward, he said to an exhausted Amanda, who was sweating profusely, "I will come back in two days to perform the second curse removal ceremony for the people here."

At first, Amanda was just called by Li Yu to inject Donia, but somehow she ended up being commandeered as a nurse for the entire afternoon.

Now, barely able to stand, she let out a sigh of relief after giving the last person an injection, and without any concern for decorum, she simply sat down by the wellside.

Rubbing her somewhat sore wrist, she couldn’t help but show a slight change in expression upon hearing Li Yu’s words.

"Is the second ceremony to be held so soon?"

"Yes, the interval can’t be too long, or the effect will diminish."

This time, the injection Li Yu used was Penicillin of 160w units, unable to meet the 240w units double-side gluteal muscle injection required by the "General Practitioner’s Handbook."

So, once a week was certainly not enough; Li Yu planned the second injection for his next visit.

In order to reduce the carrying weight as much as possible and also to avoid potential problems during procurement.

Li Yu, after returning, directly placed an order on PDD for veterinary Penicillin of 400w units, figuring that when the time came, he could simply divide a bottle into four if needed.

2.4g per dose, he purchased 1000 doses, contacting the seller to pay extra for SF Express shipping.

Afterwards, he also replenished with 500 tablets of ibuprofen, filling his backpack completely.

The 50% weight reduction feature of the Traveler III backpack came into play at this time, allowing Li Yu to carry all these medications to Bratis in one go.

He completed the second round of injections overnight for the patients at the farm, accompanied by Amanda.

Perhaps it was because Donia trusted Li Yu and the Double Rest Sect, or it could have been the palpable effects of the ibuprofen that Blake noticed and reported back to Wild.

In any case, Miss Rabbit and her companions could clearly sense that the Lord of the Fertile Corner had become much more courteous towards them in the last few days, sending them plenty of fine wines and delicacies.

He even sent a few handsome minstrels to the Lady, leaving the young girl somewhat bemused.

But after completing the second round of treatment, she still went to the City Lord Mansion and took her leave from Wild.

When the Singleton Family Head understood Irelia’s intentions, he became anxious at once.

"You’re leaving?! How can you leave, according to what Prophet Merlin said, the curse removal ceremony isn’t over yet."

"But we must arrive at the Royal Capital before the knights’ tournament begins," Miss Rabbit explained, "His Majesty had previously sent a special envoy to the Western Territory specifically for this reason."

"But the curse..."

"I have already infused Divine Power into the implements needed for the ceremony, and I will also leave behind two Sabbaths to handle this matter," Li Yu replied, "They will take my place and cleanse the curse completely."

Grey Mane seemed somewhat reluctant upon hearing this.

Wild had of course heard of the grand knights’ tournament.

But Li Yu had just given him a glimmer of hope for healing his granddaughter, and he didn’t want to let Li Yu go now.

If something unexpected happened after the Prophet of the Double Rest Sect left, those two Sabbaths he left behind might not be able to cope.

"Can’t you stay in the Fertile Corner just one or two more days?" Grey Mane muttered, "Or perhaps, Sir Irelia, you leave Prophet Merlin here and you go to the Royal Capital yourself."

"That’s absolutely impossible!" Miss Rabbit firmly refused, "I will never be separated from Merlin."

Her statement made everyone present daydream, with Wild’s large eyes shifting back and forth between Li Yu and Irelia.

Considering the minstrels he had previously sent and that the Lady had not so much as touched, Grey Mane felt as though he understood something.
