Chapter 19: Why don’t you run faster?
“Mistake mistake,” Ren Xiaosu smiled and explained, “This nurse of ours is also on her first day of work, so she’s not quite sure of the process, come on let’s continue sewing, come on, Sister Xiaoyu, you’re just sewing clothes.”
Sister Xiaoyu is not a person who is afraid of blood, to be honest, everyone in this market town is used to seeing life and death, a little bit of a small injury is nothing. Moreover, she likes her current job very much, not that she likes blood, but she likes herself to be a “useful” person.
It was common knowledge in the town that everyone had to be useful in this difficult environment, and that those who were useless would be discarded sooner or later. This is the most simple logic when people get along with each other.
Sister Xiaoyu wasn’t sure if Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan would abandon her because she was useless, but she couldn’t be lazy herself.
As soon as she heard Ren Xiaosu say as sewing, she had a plan in her heart, and the movements in her hands were much more coherent.
Moreover, Ren Xiaosu always pressed the man’s arm without moving, which made it even more convenient for her to exert herself.
When she was about to finish sewing, Sister Xiaoyu said to Ren Xiaosu, “Sewing a wound is still a bit different from sewing clothes, when sewing clothes, you try to leave the thread inside the clothes so that others can’t see it, but when sewing a wound, you can’t leave the thread inside, you have to sew it the other way around, which won’t be very nice to look at.”
The three patients had mixed feelings at that time, the more Sister Xiaoyu said, the more they panicked …… in their hearts.
When Xiaoyu sister sewing time, Ren Xiaosu took out a small porcelain bottle to the first patient wound wipe: “I this medicine is a treasure, I also do not charge you more money, a price of 600 the same as the clinic, this price you should be able to pay.”
600 dollars is roughly the price of a cotton jacket, and these workers may be paid from 2200 to 2800 a month, the prices are relatively expensive, but who let the supplies be scarce? Those nobles in the refuge barriers couldn’t wait for these people to save nothing in their lives, so they could only step down and work for them.
And these workers couldn’t just walk away because they couldn’t survive in the wilderness, and this was what the nobles relied on to exploit the stragglers.
In the view of the nobles, these stragglers were under the protection of the refuge barriers, and it was good that they didn’t make everyone pay some more protection money, it was just that they felt that the means of collecting protection money was too low.
And the reason why Ren Xiaosu was able to get by without going to the coal mines before was because he only needed to hit three sparrows every month to be better than most workers, and even if he didn’t hit three, he could still live by tightening his belt.
It was a monstrous existence that some people fought against in the beginning, however it was not fruitful.
……
Ren Xiaosu is right, these three men can afford to pay this money, the first to be cured of the man after the application of black medicine immediately stopped the pain, he paid out money out of willingness to go to the market town clinic for treatment of injuries is also the same price.
When the patient was ready to leave, Ren Xiaosu said kindly: “After the treatment, don’t you say thank you?”
The man shivered and hurriedly turned around and said, “Thank you!”
Ren Xiaosu nodded with satisfaction, however, when he looked at the palace, he suddenly realized that there were no extra coins of gratitude!
Ren Xiaosu mused, “Is the doctor-patient relationship so tense now?!”
This damn disease has been cured for you, and you’re not even sincere when you say thank you?
Immediately after Ren Xiaosu heard the mission completion tone, “Mission completed, rewarded 1.0 strength.”
This was the previous quest of saving 1 patient, right, and it was finally completed. I didn’t expect this time’s palace mission reward, but it was another 1.0 power, which was one of the things Ren Xiaosu wanted the most right now, after all, whoever has a hard fist these days, whoever speaks louder ah.
The palace voice sounded again, “Mission, save 3 patients.”
Huh, this time it was even a serial mission, after completing the first one a more difficult one appeared.
But aren’t there three ready-made patients in front of us!
Will the next reward be another 1.0 strength, that would make you a muscle man ah.
That wouldn’t really be good, because such strength was at the expense of one’s speed; the higher the coefficient of friction between muscles, the lower the speed you could exert.
The fastest runner must be the one with the most coordinated body muscles, not Mr. Bodybuilder.
Now Ren Xiaosu’s strength was hardened a great deal higher than normal normals, Ren Xiaosu deliberately observed that this time when his muscles bulged there wasn’t much to notice, it was late fall and the clothes he wore covered him quite tightly.
Just at this time, a patient took advantage of Ren Xiaosu’s distraction to get up and flee towards the outside, Sister Xiaoyu reminded Ren Xiaosu, “The patient ran away.”
Ren Xiaosu laughed: “It’s alright, he still has injuries on his body, he can’t run far, I’ll catch him back.”
Sister Xiaoyu: “……”
The only remaining sick person: “……”
When Ren Xiaosu went out to catch the sick person, Sister Xiaoyu looked at the only remaining sick person and said gently, “Are you running? If you run too, I’ll sew you up later.”
“No running,” that patient’s eyes closed with a determined look, “Sew it.”
This time Ren Xiaosu carried the patient back with less effort, he could carry it with one hand, only the patient was a bit desperate.
The next rescue will not have any bumps in the road, Ren Xiaosu pressed one hand at a time, no one can move.
At this time was pressed by the heart of the two men actually some surprise, because they did not expect them to face Ren Xiaosu actually no power to fight back, as if being ruled in general.
How much strength did this have to be to do this? Even if they were injured, they weren’t that weak, they were still able to struggle for a while just now!
And the most crucial thing is, who the hell can run away if Ren Xiaosu wants to heal anyone after this ……
“Mission completed, reward 1.0 Agility.”
“Mission: save 10 patients.”
Ren Xiaosu immediately froze when he heard this voice, because he felt that his muscles that had just bulged up had suddenly deflated by a large margin.
This agility attribute was actually a method to increase the strength of the muscle fibers, thus achieving the purpose of reducing the size of the muscles with the same strength, in this way, Ren Xiaosu didn’t have to worry about turning into a muscle man at all ah.
If Ren Xiaosu’s previous muscle fiber strength was a wooden stick, then his current muscle fiber strength was an iron bar.
Yes, this is the most reasonable, only to improve the “quality” rather than just the “quantity” is the right way.
Moreover, I’m afraid that my own resistance to blows will also increase, right?
Ren Xiaosu looked at the patient who tried to escape earlier: “Now that you’ve applied the medicine, you understand its benefits, right? It instantly stops the pain, and won’t be inflamed in the future. I just can’t figure out why you ran away?”
The patient mouthed for half a day, “I don’t have enough money ……”
Ren Xiaosu had a bit of toothache at that time, and he said painfully, “Then why don’t you run faster!”
