In the dead of night, Ren Xiaosu checked his harvest. Yesterday, Sister Xiaoyu had given him a gratitude token, Yan Liuyuan had given him one, and the two students had given him two. So he had obtained a total of four gratitude tokens.
However, he had already used one and was left with three gratitude tokens. There was also a small bottle of ointment that could be used twice. Ren Xiaosu decided to name this ointment black medicine. It was simple and easy to remember.
In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, he could exchange one gratitude token for a bottle of black medicine, and each bottle of black medicine could heal three people. In this way, exchanging one for three would always be a win-win situation.
If he exchanged the gratitude tokens for black medicine and sold them, it might seem like it would slow down his progress in unlocking weapons. But wouldn't the more black medicine he exchanged for, the more gratitude tokens he would get? This was an exponential increase, and he might even be able to unlock weapons even faster!
Moreover, Yan Liuyuan still had a bone knife that he could use for now. As he did not need to go out hunting for the time being, earning money to support his family became his top priority. Earning money first!
That night, Ren Xiaosu had a dream. He dreamed that he was standing in the wilderness with a black knife in his hand. The knife was as dense and mysterious as the night.
…
The next morning, Ren Xiaosu went out early. He did not carry the cauldron today and only took Yan Liuyuan's bone knife with him.
Now that Xiaoyu was guarding the two shacks, it was unlikely that anything would happen again during the day. Moreover, to be honest, those people in town who harbored evil intentions were only picking on the pushovers. Of all the people they could steal, why did they have to steal from the ruthless Ren Xiaosu?
It felt great not having to carry the cauldron out …
Otherwise, it wouldn't look good for a promising young man like Ren Xiaosu to run around carrying a cauldron every day.
He did not go out into the wilderness today to hunt but to pretend that he was going to pick some herbs.
Ren Xiaosu was a very cautious person. Since he said that he had the secret recipe, he had to go through the process of gathering the herbs first. Only then would he not be suspected.
Although Ren Xiaosu had never heard of anyone targeting the supernatural, Ren Xiaosu understood that if you wanted to protect yourself in a chaotic crowd, you had to pretend to be like everyone else.
The bird that sticks out will be shot. The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Don't show off your wealth. Many famous sayings of the ancients told people not to show off.
By the time he returned to town, it was only noon. When Ren Xiaosu came back with a large pile of medicinal herbs in his arms, someone who knew him asked, "Ren Xiaosu, why are you carrying so many weeds?"
"Is this a weed?" Ren Xiaosu stared and said, "This is a medicinal herb!"
Herbs? The person who asked the question looked dumbfounded. As someone who grew up in town, how could he not know what these plants were? No one had ever used them as medicinal herbs in the past.
Ren Xiaosu said mysteriously, "As long as you add them in different proportions, it can be brewed into a medicinal herb that can treat injuries. How else do you think I recovered from my previous injuries?"
The person who asked the question thought for a long time. "… Didn't you just take it head-on?"
"Get lost." Ren Xiaosu did not stop and went straight back to his shack.
At this moment, his Sister Xiaoyu was still sewing clothes for Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan. When she looked up and saw Ren Xiaosu coming back with a large pile of medicinal herbs, she put down the needle and thread in her hand. "What's all this?"
"It's the medicinal herbs used to brew the secret recipe," Ren Xiaosu explained.
Ren Xiaosu set up the iron pot and started a fire. After adding some water, he pretended to brew the medicinal herbs. In the process of brewing medicine, the biggest cost was actually the water. Water was much more valuable than firewood and weeds.
He even purposely lifted the curtain of his shack so that the people in town could see what he was doing.
Quite a few people saw Ren Xiaosu brewing the medicine, but no one dared to step forward and ask him about it.
Ren Xiaosu was unhappy. He had lifted the curtain so that people could ask him about it. That way, he could promote his medicinal herbs.
After waiting for a long time, no one came forward to ask him about it. Ren Xiaosu looked at a thin man who was peeking outside the door with a dark expression. "You!"
The thin man pointed at himself. "Me?"
"Yes, come over here." Ren Xiaosu waited for the man to cautiously approach and said, "Hurry up and ask me what I'm doing!"
The thin man was speechless.
Sister Xiaoyu was speechless.
"Go ahead and ask," Ren Xiaosu urged.
"What … what are you doing?" the thin man asked.
After Ren Xiaosu's wish was fulfilled, he immediately put on a smile and said kindly, "I'm brewing some medicinal herbs. I usually brew this kind of medicinal herb whenever I'm injured. Not only can it reduce inflammation and relieve pain, but it can also heal wounds quickly! I used to keep this medicine to myself, but I've realized my mistake now and decided to brew it to share with everyone! From today onwards, I'll open a clinic that specializes in treating knife wounds and external injuries. Is there anyone who's injured and would like to be treated? "
Ren Xiaosu's words stunned the people outside. However, they looked at each other and dispersed. No one was buying it.
What a joke. Ren Xiaosu might be amazing, but it would be bullsh * t if you suddenly said you knew how to treat illnesses. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that you've endured through all the pain in the past.
Now that you're suddenly telling us that you have a medicinal herb, who the hell would believe you?
Ren Xiaosu was unhappy. He had to let everyone know how effective the medicine was. This was very simple because he had experienced it himself. The moment the medicine was applied, the pain and burning sensation would disappear. Then, scabs would form on the next day!
As long as he let everyone know that it was effective, wouldn't he get business?
Ren Xiaosu took the small bottle of medicine and went to town to look for patients. Where did he find the most patients? It had to be the clinic.
When Ren Xiaosu arrived at the clinic, he was surprised to find that there were no patients at all. The clinic's fees were too expensive, and no one could afford it!
Ren Xiaosu glared at the young doctor before turning around and leaving. The young doctor was drinking tea leisurely when he suddenly felt a little flustered by Ren Xiaosu's glare.
With no other choice, Ren Xiaosu could only randomly look for patients in town. It wasn't until the various factories had stopped working in the afternoon that Ren Xiaosu finally saw a thin man with a cut on his hand on the road!
Ren Xiaosu was overjoyed. "Brother, did you injure your hand while working? I have a special medicine here. Do you want some? "
The thin man looked warily at Ren Xiaosu. He felt that Ren Xiaosu's tone was not very serious. "There's no need."
"Give me some." Ren Xiaosu went up and pressed the man down. In order to promote his black medicine, Ren Xiaosu had put aside his last principle. "I'll give you a discount!"
However, the man was still unwilling. After all, the black substance in Ren Xiaosu's hand looked problematic.
Ren Xiaosu clenched his teeth. "I'll just treat it as promotion. I'll treat you for free this time!"
"Alright, alright. Put the knife away first."
Ren Xiaosu came out to look for patients with a bone knife.
