When Ren Xiaosu found out the officer's name was Wang Congyang, he was shocked. He was very worried that this fellow would keep targeting him.
When Ren Xiaosu opened the door at dawn, he saw Wang Fugui sweeping the grocery store with a broom. When Wang Fugui saw Ren Xiaosu, he put down the broom and walked over. He asked in a low voice, "What happened last night?"
"It's nothing." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "The private troops in the stronghold are still suspicious of me, so they conducted another search."
"Ptui!" Wang Fugui said indignantly, "They treat us refugees like thieves every day. We already said we're under Boss Luo's protection, yet they still dared to conduct a second search."
"Alright, alright, stop acting." Ren Xiaosu looked at Wang Fugui speechlessly. "Why are you feeling indignant on my behalf?"
Wang Fugui laughed. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. I've already sent the new batch of black medicine in."
At this moment, a man ran over quickly from outside. His arm was still bleeding. When the man was still quite a distance away from the clinic, he shouted, "Doctor! Save me! "
Perhaps it was because he had lost too much blood that the wound scared the man. But Ren Xiaosu could tell at a glance that the man's injury was nothing serious.
In town, if there was nothing serious, it meant that one would not die.
It had to be said that the refugees had quite an open-minded outlook on life. Other than matters of life and death, nothing else mattered to them.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "Come in. Your injury isn't serious, so you won't die. How did you get this injury? "
"I was going to the factory, but on the way back, I realized I forgot to bring something with me. When I turned back, I found someone stealing something from my shack. I wanted to catch him, but he stabbed me," the man explained. "Doctor, am I really fine? I've lost so much blood. "
"I'm fine," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
When the man heard he would not die, he relaxed a little. Ren Xiaosu took another look at the man's wound and wondered if he should use the anesthetic he had just obtained. He had not even used it yet, so should he?
Ren Xiaosu looked at the man and said, "We have anesthetic here. After the anesthetic is applied, the wound won't hurt at all."
"Really?" The man was taken aback. "Do I need money?"
"Nonsense." Ren Xiaosu said impatiently, "Why would I give you such expensive medicine if I don't have to pay for it? Look at your wound. It's at least four inches long. Wouldn't it hurt to sew such a long wound with one stitch at a time? "
Ren Xiaosu was telling the truth. This time, the wound was too long. He probably had to apply the black medicine carefully. Otherwise, the medicine would not work.
Therefore, he was indeed worried that this guy would not be able to bear the pain.
At this moment, Sister Xiaoyu came out with a metal tray. There was a syringe and a small bottle of anesthetic on the tray. The syringe was from the clinic.
Medical facilities were limited, and there were no disposable syringes or needles. Therefore, they had to disinfect the syringe properly every time they used it. Logically speaking, this was not right. But what could Ren Xiaosu do?
The only thing he could do was disinfect it properly. For example, he could keep the needle over the fire for a while longer …
This time, Sister Xiaoyu waited for the needle to cool down before she prepared to insert the needle. However, just as she was about to insert the needle, she was put in a difficult position. "Xiaosu, should I inject the anesthetic on the outside of the wound or on the inside?"
They had never used anesthetic before, so Sister Xiaoyu was puzzled. Wouldn't it be more effective to inject the anesthetic directly into the wound?
Ren Xiaosu was stunned as well. He had never thought about this before. "I don't know either."
The man who was listening to them nearly peed his pants. "So you guys haven't injected anesthetics before? Do you even know how to treat injuries … "
This man had heard that Ren Xiaosu could treat external injuries. Coupled with the fact that Ren Xiaosu's reputation in town was extremely good, he immediately came to the clinic.
But now, it didn't seem like that was the case!
"Where exactly do you want to inject it, Xiaosu?" Sister Xiaoyu urged.
Ren Xiaosu took a look at the patient's face and said thoughtfully, "Why don't you inject it on his leg? That way, he won't run away later."
The patient: "???"
…
"Quest complete. Awarded 1.0 Strength.
"Quest: Treat 20 patients."
But on this day, although Ren Xiaosu had completed the third consecutive quest of treating 10 patients, his gratitude tokens had dropped from 10 to 8. A lot of people did not express their gratitude to him even after they were cured.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt that his current life was exceptionally fulfilling.
He would see patients during the day, substitute classes in the afternoon, and chat with Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan in the yard at night. He dug up the soil in the yard and planned to plant some vegetables there. One of his biggest wishes in the past was to have a yard where he could grow some onions, garlic sprouts, and vegetables.
But now, Ren Xiaosu felt that his strength had almost doubled that of a normal adult male. His muscles had also become firmer.
Ren Xiaosu asked the palace in his mind, "What are my Strength and Dexterity attributes now?"
The voice from the palace answered, "Strength 5.5, Dexterity 4.1."
Ren Xiaosu did not say anything. It seemed that his attributes were still relatively balanced, so he probably wouldn't suddenly become a muscular man.
Yan Liuyuan suddenly asked, "Bro, why didn't you treat all of those patients? They're all worth a lot of money."
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "I don't know how to treat them."
"But even if the doctors in the past didn't know how to treat them, they still treated them," Yan Liuyuan asked after some thought.
"We can't learn from him." Ren Xiaosu explained, "Look at what happened to him. If something happens to him, will anyone help him? We have to have a bottom line. "
"But if something happens to us, there might not be anyone who will help us either." Yan Liuyuan lowered his head and muttered, "They won't help us either, right? So why should we be so kind to them? In this day and age, a lot of people can't wait for something to happen to us. "
Ren Xiaosu looked Yan Liuyuan in the eye. He knew that Yan Liuyuan was still young, and his worldview was still forming. Moreover, the environment that Yan Liuyuan grew up in meant that he was destined to receive a lot of malice from the outside world.
Ren Xiaosu admitted that Yan Liuyuan was right. In this era, everyone was selfish, and being selfish was a matter of course. In fact, even harboring thoughts of harming others seemed to be a matter of course. However, Ren Xiaosu had to make Yan Liuyuan understand that others were others, and they were them.
"Liuyuan, remember this." Ren Xiaosu said solemnly, "Don't let the sorrow of this era become your sorrow as well."
Yan Liuyuan was deep in thought. Meanwhile, his Sister Xiaoyu looked at the two brothers with sparkling eyes. She suddenly felt that as long as Ren Xiaosu was still by Yan Liuyuan's side, Yan Liuyuan would never go down a wrong path in this lifetime.
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside. Someone said in surprise, "The band is back? Didn't they go to Stronghold 112? Why are they back?"
"Yeah, and the man who was their guide has disappeared!"
Ren Xiaosu looked up and suddenly remembered the cap-wearing girl with perfect firearms skills.
