Chapter 125: Address
When the two came to the basement, there was no one at the door, but Wang He knew that someone must be guarding the dark place, just to hide it so as not to attract attention.
Entering the underground door, a broken wooden table blocked the way, and behind the table sat an old man, leaning on the back of the chair that was about to fall apart, snorting, sleepy-eyed, disheveled, and with a foul sour smell on his body.
On the table was a large plastic bottle that had not been washed, and a dozen baked wheat grains were soaked in half-drunk water, and in front of the bottle was a dirty wooden sign with the words "Consultation Room" written on it.
Anyone who sees this picture looks like a liar clinic that no one cares about, and he must have taken advantage of Dr. Xu's absence to defraud him of some daily necessities, and he would never have thought that this would be a temporary prison.
When the old man saw someone coming in, he lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at them, this glance frightened him, and he quickly stood up, with a flattering smile on his face, nodded and said:
"Second master! Master! How did you guys get here? I don't ask my subordinates to deliver a word, so that I will go and greet you, old man! ”
Wang He waved his hand, patted the old man's shoulder and asked, "Cai Yuan is inside?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Captain Cai is inside, the people who just came are not very honest, Captain Cai and Captain Shen are teaching them to be people! ”
"Silence is also there! Just right! Wang He strode in, and just a few steps inside, as if he remembered something, he turned around and said, "You wait for me here, be careful, don't let people in." ”
This was said to Wang Chong, after all, a fledgling kid is also troublesome to see any exciting scene that causes a bad reaction.
"Oh...... Knowing the second uncle, then hurry up. Wang Chong didn't doubt him, thinking that he was not worried that the secret here would be known, so he sat at the table and chatted with the old man.
After the catastrophe, the physical fitness of the surviving humans is generally much better than before the apocalypse, and few people will get sick, but what is puzzling is that even if it is an ordinary person without any ability, the amount of food is increasing day by day.
Therefore, almost all human beings, except for sleeping, run around for food every day, but the food that can be collected is too small, and most of the food hoarding places are either surrounded by layers of corpses or have long been looted by others.
Inevitably, people began to stuff bark, leather, and paper into their mouths whenever they could eat it...... It is still unknown whether cannibalism occurs in some places, at least what happened in the mental hospital in Hedong, and what is the difference between cannibalism and direct cannibalism?
Hungry people, even the idea of zombies has been beaten, not to mention mutant beasts, which seem to be relatively normal creatures, so people have found that mutant animals that eat people can also be eaten with confidence.
In order to fill their stomachs, there are people in the farm who take turns hunting every day, and setting traps is a basic skill that almost everyone knows, although they are all small animals, but the trapped beast is still fighting, even a mutant rat, not the most ferocious vicious dog before the end of the day can be compared.
For this reason, people are injured every day, when Dr. Xu was there before, there was an endless stream of patients and wounded every day, and now he has been taken away, in exchange for a sloppy old man of half a hundred, the injured do not trust this old man, but there is no way, the injury still needs to be treated, right?
Wang Chong chatted with the old man, and no less than three people came to see the injury, every time, the old man was lazy and went up to diagnose and treat, and gave a few pills, but this medicine was not given for nothing, and he had to exchange it for food.
Hunted animal meat, jerky, as long as there is no rot and deterioration, a pack of biscuits, a bag of snacks is fine, there is really none, mixed with bark and leaves of the miscellaneous grain nest is not impossible, the old man is not refused, but tobacco and alcohol do not need to think, that is a high-end luxury.
There are dozens of people in a farm, who is poor and who has surplus grain, and the big guy knows that there is good food, but he just takes the miscellaneous grains to the nest, and the old man does not admit it, he pats the table and glares, and takes back the medicine, and it is useless for the person to lose his temper, and the old man is not stunned at all.
This is the person arranged by the second master, the young master nodded, no one dared to be more presumptuous, so he could only pinch his nose and admit that he was unlucky, and changed the high-end food to change the medicine, and the young master was still sitting on the side, except for Bo Ye in this village, it was the young master who had the final say.
Oh, by the way, there is now one more second master, this is a great character, Chong Young Master's life was saved by him, Zhuangzi was attacked by night, and it was also the second master who came back to catch the inner ghost to stabilize people's hearts, I heard that he also helped Doctor Xu get a lot of food and medicine.
Maybe...... This second master with great magical powers can help the big guy eat enough and suffer less crimes.
What his subordinates were thinking, Wang Chong didn't know, he was surprised by the old man's medical skills, unlike the ordinary survivors of the other croppers who were just before the cataclysm, Wang Chong was a highly educated person.
Coupled with the family's shady business, although his father did not let him participate, he has seen a lot of fighting, killing and killing, and there is a doctor at home who specializes in dealing with these things.
The old man saw three patients, just casually glanced at them, touched them, and accurately said how the injuries were, and the treatment was also clean and neat, on the contrary, there was nothing worth noting when prescribing medicines, they were all antibiotics to prevent infection.
There was an injured man, his left arm was bitten off by a mutant rat in the trap, the old man disinfected and sutured it only took ten minutes, after paying a mouse leg, the injured man was scolding and scolding to leave with the medicine, and was stopped by the old man.
The old man asked him if he had fallen, and the injured man replied that when the mutant rat broke free from the trap and bit up, he dodged backwards and tripped and fell to his right leg, but it was not a big deal, it hurt a little, and it would be fine in a few days.
Hearing this, the old man didn't say anything, leaned over and pinched the injured man's leg, rubbed left and right for a while, and just when the injured man thought he had any special hobbies, the old man patted his leg and told him to get out of here.
It is also strange to say that the pain in the right leg, which was originally a little lame, was greatly reduced, and the injured person thanked him and left, the old man didn't say anything, and continued to chat with Wang Chong.
"Uncle, what did you do?" Wang Chong finally couldn't help it and asked curiously.
"Me! It's nothing, the dean of Haicheng College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The old man picked up the dirty plastic bottle and took a big sip.
"Hospital...... Dean? Wang Chong almost choked on his saliva, there was such a good character in the farm, and he didn't even know it.
"What about you...... Why did you ...... before" He was very strange, no matter where such a character went, he was a guest, but he didn't say that he had seen it, and no one had even mentioned it.
"I've actually been in Salt River for some days." The old man opened the conversation: "My name is Bai Zhibing, and when I just escaped from Haicheng, I accidentally passed by here. It just so happened that I had old acquaintances with Mr. Wen, the owner of the farm, so he kept me staying. ”
"First, seeing that all my relatives and friends have died, it is really difficult for me to survive alone, and secondly, I also fancy my medical skills, which can help others......" Bai Zhibing smiled bitterly: "But who would have expected ......"
"Did something happen?" Wang Chong asked hurriedly, although he had been scolded by Wang He many times, his problem of interjecting nonsense could never be changed.
Bai Zhibing glanced at Wang Chong, and didn't seem to be impatient with this hairy boy's impatience, and continued to say slowly: "But who would have expected that the few patients I treated either worsened their injuries, or they went back and forth, and even treated people to death......
"How is it possible, I have heard of your name, Xu Zhizhong seems to have said before, he is also half of your student, he has never gone wrong, your medical skills are even better, how can you heal people?"
"I don't know why, obviously the diagnosis is correct, and the medicine is not wrong, but something happened, and thanks to Xiao Xu, I was not beaten to death by those family members, and Mr. Wen originally planned to hand over all the medical treatment to me, but it turned out that I have survived until now thanks to a little relief."
Bai Zhibing was full of melancholy, his whole family was killed, he was a disheartened and stealing life, but he met an old friend and asked him to start his favorite job again, so that he could shine once, but he never thought that he would be ruined in the field he was most familiar with and best at.
"Xu Zhizhong is indeed a good person, although there is some misunderstanding between him and my father, but I believe that they will definitely let go of their old suspicions......" Wang Chong became more and more curious about the old man in front of him, and then asked: "Then why did you ...... it again?"
"You mean, see a doctor here?" After receiving the other party's affirmation of the question, Bai Zhibing replied: "It's the second master!" I don't know where he found my information, so he let me come. ”
"I originally wanted to refuse, for fear of causing trouble again, but he said that he would bear the accident, and he looked at it boldly and confidently, ensuring that there would be no accidents this time, and even he taught me to see a doctor and receive food."
Really! It's this magical second uncle again.
"What are you talking about me while I'm not there?" While the two were talking, Wang Hezheng came out of the room, holding a towel in his hand, wiping his hands as he walked, using a white towel that had been yellowed for a long time, red with blood.
He walked to Wang Chong's side, threw off the towel casually, patted the other party's back, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time." ”
"Second uncle, did you ask about it?"
"Well, that's it." Lighting a cigarette, Wang He replied indifferently.
"Where?" Wang Chong suddenly became excited and asked eagerly.
"To the west, Yantou Village."
Wang He took out a wooden box from his pocket, opened the lid, and inside was a round ball the size of a ping-pong ball, and a pungent smell came to his face, which was exactly the smell that Wang He had smelled on the ghost clothes that he had been confused for a long time.
"Bai Lao! You can show me what this thing is made of and what it is for. ”
Wang He handed the things to Bai Zhibing, and Wang Chong on the side was a little more interested in how he came up with the address, and asked, "Second uncle, how did you ask so quickly?" I don't think that woman is very easy to get along with. ”
"What do women care about the most, you say?" Wang He suddenly asked Wang Chong a question.
