Ren Baqian felt that Caretaker Shi was exaggerating when he told him to apply the ointment.
This injury would take at least ten to twenty days to heal, right?
The black mud cream was stored in a wooden box. Inside the box was a sticky black substance with a pungent smell. Ren Baqian wondered if this was really black mud.
However, the wound on his abdomen was really painful. Ren Baqian gritted his teeth and picked out some of the ointment to apply on his abdomen.
Just as he applied the ointment, his abdomen felt cool to the touch. Soon after, it turned into a burning sensation. Finally, it turned into an intense itch. It made him want to scratch his abdomen, but he forced himself not to touch the wound.
"Could it be that I took the wrong ointment? Or has it expired? "Ren Baqian looked as if he was suffering from constipation.
If this was torture, Ren Baqian reckoned that he would have confessed.
After enduring for an unknown period of time, the pain and itch on his abdomen started to subside. After a while, it turned into a warm and comfortable feeling.
"This ointment is really deadly." Ren Baqian used his sleeve to wipe his face. It was full of sweat.
He rubbed his abdomen. There was still a slight pain, but it was no longer a problem. "Although it's deadly, it's really useful."
After Ren Baqian sighed, his attention was attracted by the ten silver ingots placed at the side.
His job was gone, and he only had a few thousand yuan in his savings. It would only take a few months for him to run out of money. These ten silver ingots allowed him to make a small fortune.
"I wonder if I can get out of here? If I use these silver ingots to buy things here and sell them, will I be able to earn more? "Ren Baqian rubbed his chin and thought. He did not know what things in this world could be sold at a high price on Earth.
However, it seemed that he did not need to worry about this. As long as he hugged onto the empress and obtained some things from Earth, wouldn't it be easy to get some gold and silver?
Thinking of this, Ren Baqian felt that his future was bright.
Ren Baqian came from an ordinary family. It was like this when he was in school. His family was neither poor nor rich. His studies were average and his character was average. Therefore, he had been ordinary since young and did not attract any attention.
Initially, he thought that he would live an ordinary life like this. However, now, he felt that his good luck was about to arrive.
Just as Ren Baqian was snickering, Caretaker Shi barged in from outside and pulled Ren Baqian out, "I have arranged ten people for you. Take a look, and if anyone is disobedient, you can tell me. Let's go have a drink after that. "
"My injuries haven't healed yet," Ren Baqian cried out. What kind of person would drink alcohol after getting a hole in his stomach? Did he not want to live anymore?
"Wasn't the black mud cream delivered?" Caretaker Shi was stunned.
"I have applied it, but it will take some time before the wound heals," Ren Baqian replied.
"It's good that you applied it." Caretaker Shi let go of Ren Baqian's hand and pulled his shirt. "Hey, why are you still wearing this?"
As she spoke, she tore off the gauze that was wrapped around Ren Baqian's stomach.
"Look, aren't you fine now?" Caretaker Shi patted Ren Baqian's wound and smiled.
Ren Baqian subconsciously dodged, but he immediately looked down and was dumbfounded.
His wound, which was still bleeding, was now completely healed. It was just that the location of the wound was all tender flesh, which was different from other parts of the body. Also, the few lines looked a little ugly. But it had indeed grown back.
Ren Baqian swallowed his saliva and quickly rushed back to open the wooden box to take a look. He had only used about one-fifth of it just now.
The name wasn't very nice, but the medicinal effect was really amazing. A wound that would have healed in ten to twenty days actually healed in such a short period of time. If he brought this back, it would be priceless.
"You have to keep this medicine well, it's indeed quite expensive." Caretaker Shi looked at Ren Baqian and laughed.
"Can I buy it? How much is it? " Ren Baqian originally thought that this medicine would be extremely expensive, but according to Caretaker Shi, it was only expensive, but not rare.
"The silver that I rewarded you should be enough to buy a box!"
A box of 100 taels of silver was equivalent to 20,000 taels of silver. It was indeed not cheap to buy such a box of medicine. However, based on the medicinal effect of this medicine, it was really too cheap.
"Come, let's go out and take a look at the people I have chosen for you." Caretaker Shi watched Ren Baqian place the wooden box on the bed and pulled him out.
There were ten people waiting outside. They stood loosely, but all of them were burly men with arms that could run horses.
If he didn't know that they were odd-job workers, Ren Baqian would have thought that they were soldiers. He had to admit that the people he saw after coming to this world were all tall and strong. The men were generally more than 1.75 meters tall, and the tallest were 1.9 meters tall.
The women were also about 1.65 meters tall. Ren Baqian didn't know how they could grow so tall in a feudal society.
If he didn't remember wrongly, the average male in the Tang Dynasty was about 1.6 meters tall. Only the aristocratic families were taller.
The ten people present were young and old. They all looked at Ren Baqian curiously. They heard that this person could make ice. It was bone-chilling, but it was indeed a good thing to cool off in summer. It was really magical. It was just that this caretaker's body was too frail. It looked like he would be blown away by the wind.
"Brothers, we will all be in the same boat in the future. I will rely on everyone's help for the things that my superiors have instructed me to do. I will not mistreat everyone. However, if anyone makes a mistake, I won't be merciful. "Ren Baqian cupped his hands and said to everyone.
"We will do whatever the caretaker says." The ten people loudly agreed.
"That's good. As long as you do your job well, I will definitely not mistreat everyone. That's all for now." Ren Baqian was very satisfied with their attitude. What he was most afraid of was each of them harboring their own thoughts and not putting in the effort. If that happened, he would have a headache.
"The task that Her Majesty instructed us to do is to make ice. We definitely can't leave the ice outside as it will melt in no time. First, we have to make a cellar to store the ice. I wonder if there is a suitable place here?" The second half of his sentence was directed at Caretaker Shi. He wasn't in the mood to drink if he didn't clarify the situation.
Caretaker Shi thought for a while and said, "There is one. Sometimes, it is used to store some grass. I'm not sure if it will work."
"It's good that there is one. Let's go take a look first," Ren Baqian immediately said.
The cellar wasn't far from where everyone was. In a short while, they arrived there.
Occasionally, a few withered grass could be seen on the ground around the cellar.
Caretaker Shi opened the lid and said, "It's here."
Ren Baqian wanted to go down. Suddenly, he thought of something, "How long has it been unused?" If it had been unused for too long, there might be a lack of oxygen inside. He would be unlucky if he went down.
"A few months."
"Throw a torch down to take a look."
Within a few minutes, someone threw a torch down. Ren Baqian looked down at the fire burning brightly. He was finally relieved and climbed down along the edge of the cellar.
Ren Baqian picked up the torch and walked around the cellar. It was empty except for some withered grass on the ground. There were also some wooden pillars supporting the cellar to prevent it from collapsing.
The cellar wasn't small. It was about a hundred square meters in size and two and a half meters in height. There was a layer of soil that was about a meter and a half above it. It felt much cooler when he came down.
"This is it." Ren Baqian went up and made his decision.
"Caretaker Shi, let's borrow this place to make an ice cellar," Ren Baqian said to Caretaker Shi.
"No problem. In the future, I can come here to cool off if I have nothing to do," Caretaker Shi agreed readily.
"Clean up this place first before we can store ice," Ren Baqian said to the ten odd-job workers.
"Alright!" Everyone shouted and went to get their tools.
