Gao Zhongming and Chen Jiangliu were overjoyed. Gao Zhongming grabbed Gao Liang's hand tightly and said, "My son! I was so worried about you! Where have you been?" Gao Liang replied, "I went out to clear my mind. I didn't want this old lady to keep following me—no matter where I went, she always came along. Look, she's here now!" "Who is she?" asked Zhao Yuanhang. "My granddaughter!" Gao Liang said. "Please don't go. I have something here that you must take!" The old lady said, her voice full of sorrow. "She's mad!" Fan Weizhe firmly insisted. "Get her out!" Li Tianpei waved his hands. Amid the crowd's scorn, the old lady deliberately twisted her foot and dropped something to the ground before walking away. "The serum! The serum!" the hospital director, Doctor Zhang, and Doctor Wang said in unison. "We just don't know if it's the antivenom serum we need, or whether it's exactly what we're looking for!" said Doctor Zhang. "Our serum won't arrive at Gaojiacun Airport until around 6 Zuo Tianpei calculated the time of the plane's landing. This remark reminded everyone—oh no, it was only ten minutes until four o'clock. Gao Liang gently urged, "Try it!" In a moment of desperation, the decision proved effective. At the hospital director's command, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Wang, and the nurses immediately rushed to administer a fresh dose of antivenom into Gao Ruolan's body, whose limbs were swollen and skin had turned dark. "Miracle! Miracle!" everyone exclaimed, then erupted into cheers. For they saw the swelling gradually subsiding and the darkened skin slowly regaining its pale, fresh hue. Within just ten minutes, Gao Ruolan could open her eyes and speak: "Water! Water! Water! I'm so thirsty!" "Heavenly grace! Our daughter is alive! She's alive! What a miracle!" Gao Caisheng and Mei Hanyu, Gao Ruolan's parents, expressed their gratitude and relief. Xia Le Tao was thrilled, singing joyfully, "Sunshine always follows the rain!" F3 exchanged glances, feeling a bit guilty, saying, "We misunderstood the old lady just now!" "Our young master Ou has truly good fortune—meeting a heavenly mother!" Chen Jiangliu exclaimed. "Master Ou is our blessing. If it weren't for his encounter with this heavenly mother, our Ifan would have been lost!" Miao Hanyu expressed her gratitude. "Mom! I'd like some quiet!" To everyone's delight, Gao Ruolan could now speak clearly, and as they all cheered and waved, they finally departed contentedly. St. Dorothy Mary Business School Stadium. A crowd of students formed a wreath around the five golden blossoms at the center. "Princess Chang'e! Come on! Come on!" The students shouted enthusiastically at Qiu Xingyue. Qiu Xingyue maintained a cold, composed demeanor, wishing only to make her way away, yet was pulled by Zhang Xiaoli and Chen Yanling beside her, who together said, "We'd also like to see!" Please perform one more time! One more time, please! "Five golden blossoms! Five golden blossoms! We're backing you!" The students presented flowers and thundered with applause. "Next, we'd like to invite our idol to perform the snake-capturing act!" One student warmly invited. Qiu Xinxue's sense of vanity was deeply satisfied as she opened the transparent plastic bag containing the snake, and the snake immediately emerged. In the midst of the students' gasps, Qiu Xinxue delivered a splendid snake-capturing performance. Immediately, the dean, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Wang, and the nurses became busy, and soon arrived at a diagnosis. They found that although the swelling in Gao Ruolan's limbs had significantly subsided and her darkened skin had largely regained its original pale, fresh tone, the venom was neurotoxic and had already invaded the respiratory and cerebral systems. The site of the bite exhibited signs of compartment syndrome. If timely treatment was not administered, the muscles would necrose, threatening the patient's life. The existing antivenom could only delay the patient's deterioration—true recovery required a special therapeutic approach. "Attack the poison with the poison?" The dean's eyes sparkled with wisdom. "Exactly!" Dr. Zhang and Dr. Wang agreed simultaneously. Gao Liang glanced at Gao Ruolan lying on the hospital bed. She still looked uncomfortable, and Xia Le Tao was continuously massaging her abdomen, as if the pain there were unrelenting. Gao Liang said, "You all take care of Ruolan here. I'll be right back!" "说完，一溜烟地跑开了. Saint-Domine Mary Business School Stadium. With students cheering, "Yah-hah! Yah-hah!" the performance of Qiuxin Yue's snake-capturing technique was truly impressive! More students began to admire her, and the five blossoms were enchanted by flowers and applause, feeling proud and delighted. One male student found the snake-capturing act fascinating and thought he could do it too, so he disregarded Qiuxin Yue's objections and boldly attempted to capture the snake in front of so many students, eager to make a show. Upon seeing the snake, he grasped its tail with his left hand. "Careful! Lift it quickly!" Qiuxin Yue urgently reminded him, but he didn't immediately rise. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the venomous snake wrapped tightly around his wrist, making it impossible for him to free his arm—students gasped in surprise. With the situation urgent, Qiuxin Yue stepped forward bravely, skillfully grasping the snake's tail and shaking it vigorously, until the snake finally slipped off his wrist. The crowd erupted in excitement! Flowers! Applause! Cheers! Once again, they surrounded the five blossoms, led by Qiu Xin Yue. However, something was off—clearly visible in Qiu Xin Yue's pained expression. It was her hands that had been bitten by a snake. The crowd erupted in cries. The snake was cunning—it bit its victim and then swiftly crawled away across the ground, as if the people were fleeing a disaster. Turning around, the snake now advanced steadily toward Qiu Xin Yue, who was writhing in pain. Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling all gasped in alarm, helpless as the crowd became agitated. Qiu Xin Yue's pain made it difficult for her to move, and people around her were startled, scattering far away. As the venomous snake drew near, only three centimeters away from Qiu Xin Yue, who was about to close her eyes in despair, a handsome young man launched himself like an arrow straight toward the snake. From a distance, the crowd watched as Gao Liang first used his right hand to grasp the snake's hind portion, lifting it upright so that the snake's neck gently dragged along the ground. Then, he stepped forward and firmly pressed his foot onto the snake's But the snake was very clever, swaying back and forth, and at first, Gao Liang failed to land firmly on it—everyone was startled. Yet Gao remained calm. With a gentle movement of his right hand, the snake's head gently touched the ground, and then he stepped firmly on it—this time, he secured his footing. He then grasped the snake's head and neck with his hands and carefully placed it into a glass container. "The hand-grasp and foot-step method! That's amazing!" exclaimed the male student who had just narrowly escaped a bite. "Even more impressive than the quick sliding pinch method!" Zhao Meixuan and Xu Xinyan both gasped in awe. "Wow! Mr. Ouyang's snake-catching technique is absolutely cool! He's absolutely stunning!" One female student, marveling at Gao's graceful and handsome demeanor, was so amazed she almost fainted. Zhao Yuanhang, Fan Weizhe, and Zuo Tianpei joined in, standing proudly beside Gao, forming a straight line—looking absolutely impressive. "F4! F4! F4! Back again!" a girl clapped and cheered enthusiastically. Yet, highlighted by the crowd's flowers and applause, he did not become overwhelmed. He noticed that the right wrist of Qiu Xinxin was severely swollen, and the skin near the wound was continuously turning black. Qiu Xinxin had been poisoned deeply—she felt dizzy, her vision blurred, and her body weak, collapsing right onto his own chest. "I can't go on! It hurts so much! So much!" her eyes closed tightly, her face pale, her body convulsing—exactly as high Ifulan had suffered. This reminded Gao Liang of Ifulan's pain. Amid the students' astonishment, he immediately lifted Qiu Xinxin without hesitation. It was the first time she had been carried by a boy—her face flushed with embarrassment. Gao Liang's hands were broad and strong, and the sense of security he provided was inexplicable. Rescue was urgent—time was of the essence. Gao Liang signaled to F3 to act swiftly, with Zhao Yuanhang driving, Fan Wei and Tian Pei responsible for monitoring the glass containers holding the snakes, while he himself remained attentive to Qiu Xinxin's growing pain. Zhao Meixuan, Xu Xinyan, Zhang Xiaoli, and Chen Yanling were seated in the same vehicle, with Zhang Xiaoli at the wheel, rushing together toward Hanhai City First People's Hospital. On board, the toxicity of the large flower snake intensified, and Qiu Xinxue, growing weak, leaned against the backrest of the rear seat, her brows furrowed with pain and her body trembling.
