"It was just a mistake." Ren Xiaosu explained with a smile, "This is also our nurse's first day on the job, so she's not too sure about the procedures. Come, let's continue suturing. Come, Sister Xiaoyu, just treat it as sewing clothes."
Sister Xiaoyu was not afraid of blood. To be honest, everyone in town was used to seeing death, so what was a little injury to them? Besides, she really liked her current job. It was not that she liked blood, but that she liked to be a "useful" person.
It was common sense in town that everyone had to be useful in this difficult and difficult environment. Useless people would be abandoned sooner or later. This was the simplest logic when people interacted with each other.
Sister Xiaoyu was not sure if Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan would abandon her because she was useless, but she could not be a lazy person.
When she heard Ren Xiaosu say that she was sewing clothes, she knew what to do. Her movements also became much more coherent.
Moreover, Ren Xiaosu was still pressing down on the man's arm without moving. This made it even more convenient for her to work.
When she was about to finish suturing, Sister Xiaoyu said to Ren Xiaosu, "Suturing wounds and sewing clothes are still a little different. When sewing clothes, you should try to leave the thread inside so that others can't tell. But when you sew a wound, you can't leave the thread inside. You have to do it the other way around. That won't look good."
The three patients had mixed feelings. The more Sister Xiaoyu said, the more flustered they became.
When Sister Xiaoyu was done suturing, Ren Xiaosu took out a small porcelain bottle and applied it on the first patient's wound. "This medicine of mine is a treasure, so I won't charge you extra. I'll charge you 600 yuan for it, just like the clinic. You guys should be able to afford it."
600 yuan was roughly the price of a cotton-padded jacket, and these workers' monthly wages ranged from 2,200 to 2,800 yuan. Things were relatively expensive, but what could they do about the lack of supplies? The nobles in the stronghold hoped that these people would not be able to save up much money for the rest of their lives and could only work for them.
However, these workers could not just leave because they could not survive in the wilderness. This was what the nobles relied on to exploit the refugees.
In the eyes of the nobles, these refugees were under the protection of the stronghold, so it was already good enough that they did not have to pay protection fees. However, they felt that this method of collecting protection fees was too low-class.
The reason why Ren Xiaosu did not have to work in the coal mine was because he only needed to hunt three sparrows a month to outdo most of the workers. Even if he did not manage to hunt three sparrows, he could still survive by tightening his belt.
This was a deformed living environment. Some people protested at the beginning, but to no avail.
This was a deformed living environment.
Ren Xiaosu was right. The three men could all afford to pay for it. The man who was treated first immediately stopped his pain after applying the black medicine. He was more than willing to fork out the money. Even if he went to the town clinic for treatment, it would still be the same price.
Just as the patient who had been treated was about to leave, Ren Xiaosu said kindly, "Aren't you going to say thank you after treating your injuries?"
The man shivered and quickly turned his head to say, "Thank you!"
Ren Xiaosu nodded in satisfaction. However, when he looked at the palace, he was shocked to find that there were no additional gratitude tokens!
Ren Xiaosu mused, "Is the relationship between doctors and patients so tense now?!"
You've already been cured of your illness, and you're not even sincere in thanking me?!
Then, Ren Xiaosu heard the notification that the quest had been completed. "Quest completed. Awarded 1.0 Strength."
This was the mission to save one patient. He had finally completed it. He did not expect that the reward of the Palace Mission this time would be 1.0 Strength. This was also one of the things that Ren Xiaosu wanted the most. After all, in this day and age, whoever had the hardest fist had the loudest voice.
The voice from the palace rang out again. "Quest: Save three patients."
Eh? This time, it was a chain mission. After completing the first one, an even more difficult one appeared.
However, there were three patients in front of him!
Would the next reward be 1.0 Strength? If that happened, he would become a muscular man.
This was actually not a good thing. This was because he would be sacrificing his speed for such strength. The greater the coefficient of friction between his muscles, the slower he would be able to display his speed.
The person who ran the fastest would definitely be the one with the best coordination of their muscles, not Mr. Bodybuilder.
Right now, Ren Xiaosu's strength was much stronger than a normal person's. Ren Xiaosu deliberately observed his muscles. This time, no one noticed when his muscles bulged. It was late autumn, so the clothes he was wearing covered it up quite well.
At this moment, a patient took advantage of Ren Xiaosu's distraction to get up and run outside. Sister Xiaoyu reminded Ren Xiaosu, "The patient ran away."
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "It's fine. He's still injured, so he can't have run far. I'll catch him and bring him back."
Sister Xiaoyu was speechless.
The remaining patient was speechless.
When Ren Xiaosu went out to catch the patient, Sister Xiaoyu looked at the remaining patient and said gently, "Are you going to run? If you run too, I'll stitch it up for you later. "
"I won't run." The patient closed his eyes and looked determined. "Let's stitch it up."
This time, Ren Xiaosu did not have to use so much effort to carry the patient back. He could carry him with one hand, but the patient was a little desperate.
The subsequent treatment was not difficult. Ren Xiaosu held them down with one hand, and no one could move.
At this moment, the two men who were being held down were actually a little surprised. They did not expect that they could not fight back when facing Ren Xiaosu. It was as if they were being dominated.
How much strength did he need to have to do this? Even if they were injured, they should not be so weak. They could still struggle a little just now!
And the most important thing was, in the future, if Ren Xiaosu wanted to treat anyone, who could run away …
"Mission completed. Reward: 1.0 Dexterity.
"Mission: Treat 10 patients."
When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he was immediately stunned. This was because he felt that his muscles that had just bulged out had suddenly shrunk a lot.
This Dexterity attribute was actually a method to increase the strength of the muscle fibers, so as to achieve the goal of reducing the volume of muscle under the same amount of strength. In this way, Ren Xiaosu did not have to worry about becoming a muscular man at all.
If the strength of Ren Xiaosu's muscle fibers in the past was a wooden stick, then the strength of his muscle fibers now was an iron stick.
Yes, this was the most reasonable way. Only by increasing the "quality" and not just the "quantity" was the right way to go.
Moreover, his resistance would probably increase as well, right?
Ren Xiaosu looked at the patient who had tried to escape. "Now that you've applied the medicine, you should understand its benefits. It can stop the pain instantly, and it won't get inflamed in the future. I just don't understand, why do you want to run? "
The patient stammered for a long time. "I don't have enough money …"
Ren Xiaosu was a little annoyed. He said bitterly, "Then why didn't you run faster!"
