Co-renting Immortal Doctor Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - People jumping the lake

At night, the moon was bright in the sky. It was not even the fifteenth of the eighth month, but the moon above the Moon City was already shining brightly like a silver plate.

The Moon City. Just like its name suggests, the moon here was different from other places in China. And the biggest hobby of the citizens of Moon City was to admire the moon. Normally, a group of three to five friends comes together to admire the moon.

However, today was destined to be an extraordinary day. Under the bright moonlight, with shooting stars streaking across the sky, countless men and women confessed to each other

At this time, there was a handsome young boy standing on the bridge, holding onto the railing of the bridge as he sighed.

"How worrisome. I say, old man, are you lying to me? You're saying that this is our family heirloom, but I really can't see what use this thing has!"

This boy was called Tang Yu, one of the recent graduates of the academy. As with most new graduates, they start looking for jobs as soon as they graduate. Looking at the tattered "Heavenly Medicine Manual" book in his hands, Tang Yu felt the urge to cry.

Originally, their Tang Clan practiced traditional Chinese medicine handed down from their ancestors. However, since western medicine was rampant these days, they almost had no food to eat. As for his grandfather, he had opened a traditional Chinese medicine shop in a small town and barely managed to maintain his livelihood.

There was a type of bird in this world, and that was that one could not fly on his own. It required assistance before it could fly.

His grandfather had placed all of his hopes on Tang Yu, and at the same time, given Tang Yu a set of medical skills, saying that it was some kind of ancestral treasure, so he should study well. He hoped that Tang Yu could revive the family and revitalize Chinese medicine, so when he went to college, he enrolled in the field of diagnosis in Chinese medicine.

Tang Yu had read the book but came to the conclusion that it was useless. No one could learn it. Moreover, if it really was an awesome book, would he really use to stabilize the table legs at home? Wasn't this just fooling others!

Actually, this book was passed on to his father. But he never would have thought that not long after he was born, there was an accident, and both of his parents died. Only he and his grandfather were left.

Initially, Tang Yu had thought he could get lucky and went to many hospitals to apply for a job, but after hearing that Tang Yu had studied Chinese medicine, he was directly kicked out.

And what made Tang Yu most frustrated during the interview was this sentence: "What is the use of learning Chinese medicine? Can Chinese medicine be used for surgery? Now that the body has been recorded, who would still need to take their pulse?"

His things were directly thrown out by the landlord, and he had to beg for three more days of time from the landlord. But today was the third day, if he still couldn't find a job, then he could only sleep on the streets tomorrow.

When he thought about these things, Tang Yu felt that his entire life had turned dark and gloomy.

At this moment, a shout rang out, "Not good, someone is about to jump into the lake, hurry up and send someone over!"

Hearing the voice, Tang Yu's heart froze for a moment. He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the voice. He saw on the Forgotten Bridge, about ten meters away from him, a white-clothed woman with long hair that reached her waist. She was swaying slowly. Half of her body was leaning against the fence, which wasn't too high, and she fell straight down!

"Holy sh*t!"

Seeing that, Tang Yu's eyes became blank. This was a matter of life and death. As a responsible and caring young man, how could he not save someone at death's door? Judging from the woman's condition, it didn't seem like she had committed suicide, but had fainted!

At this moment, the bridge was crowded with onlookers. Everyone was chatting and some kind-hearted people had already called the police. However, no one had any intention of going down to save the young woman.

Tang Yu squeezed through the crowd and looked down at the lake. He could not help but take in a deep breath of cold air, he finally knew why no one else had entered. There was a sign not far away warning about an extremely poisonous water snake in the lake!

However, looking at the struggling girl, Tang Yu clenched his teeth. After reading, Tang Yu placed the medical book and his bag into the hands of the old lady beside him, and quickly said: "Auntie, help me carry my backpack, I'm going down to save the person."

As he said that, Tang Yu directly shoved his own things into the other party's hands, and before the other party could even agree, he had already jumped off the bridge!

Seeing that someone had gone down to save someone, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but cry out in alarm. They couldn't help but sigh at the young man's courage. If he was bitten by a snake, he would probably die. However, there was admiration in everyone's eyes. Not everyone had such courage.

Of course, Tang Yu did not know what the others were thinking. However, the moment he jumped, he regretted it because he had forgotten the fact that he was a landlubber and couldn't swim at all!

"It's over, it's all over, it's all over, I forgot such an important matter in my excitement. Instead of saving her, I ended up being buried together. Those who don't know about it might have thought it was a lovers' suicide."

Before Tang Yu could finish thinking, he heard a "dong" as he fell into the lake.

The moment he fell into the lake, Tang Yu felt a chill down his spine, the water was so cold! However in the next moment, Tang Yu only felt the lake water being poured into his mouth, and as he splashed into the water, he felt himself sink even deeper.

But at that moment, everyone's eyes were not on Tang Yu, they were staring at a shooting star in mid-air. The shooting star was actually getting closer and directly smashed into the lake. If this thing was smashed down, how could the woman and Tang Yu below still have any chance of survival?

"Bam!"

In the next moment, the shooting star did not stop and directly smashed into the lake. Seven to eight meters high water splashed out from the center of the lake!

"This is bad, that little girl and that young man are probably in danger!"

Seeing this situation, the crowd also cried out in alarm. A meteor's descent was already quite rare, but they didn't expect it to land here. For a moment, everyone was worried.

At that moment, Tang Yu was already close to drowning, but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain from his back, as though something had entered his body, causing him to tremble!

In the next moment, no one knew where Tang Yu got the strength from. He quickly waved both his arms and actually brought himself afloat!

Tang Yu breathed in large mouthfuls of fresh air. He was overjoyed, this was truly the heavens leaving a path for survival. At the most crucial moment, he had actually activated his potential and learned how to swim.

Although it was even uglier than a dog paddle, it was still effective!

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, Tang Yu's face froze, he saw a meter long little snake biting his butt!

"F*ck, where do you think you're biting, snake?"

Seeing that, Tang Yu was extremely frightened, he anxiously pulled the snake off and threw it far away. It had to be known that the warning sign clearly stated that this snake was extremely poisonous. How could Tang Yu not panic?

But after waiting for a while, Tang Yu realized that he was not poisoned at all!

Could it be that this snake doesn't have poison?

Impossible, Tang Yu recognized this snake. It was absolutely poisonous, if he was not saved within half an hour after being bitten, he would definitely die. But now that he was fine, Tang Yu was puzzled.

Could it be?

Suddenly, Tang Yu thought of an important matter, and he could not help but be excited.

It was that he had been hit by a meteor, and something shiny had entered his body. Was he really the hero in the novel, with his special ability able to resist poison?
