A living prisoner can be exchanged for 5 silver coins.
A dead one is only worth 5 coppers.
The four of them tied up the young man with his bare hands, threw them together with the dead reindeer on a cart hidden in the corner, and dragged him back to the base.
“Blue clothes! Are you from the shelter?!”
No one paid any attention to him.
The boy looked horrified as he watched the concrete wall pass above his head and was sent to the granary.
The cart stopped.
Fang Chang and Lao Bai picked up the reindeer together and threw it on the table in front of Brother Scrambled Egg.
"Brother, pay me your wages."
“12 silver.”
Counting out the coins and clapping them on the table, Brother Scrambled Egg pulled out the machete lying on the table and started to chop the meat into large chunks.
The muffled sound of the blade clapping seemed to be chopping in his heart, and the young man was frightened when he heard it.
I’ve never heard of blue coats eating people!
“Master Manager? You came just in time, we are planning to bring him to you!”
“Where did you get him from?”
"I met him while hunting. This guy shot an arrow at me, but he missed."
"I see."
He counted out five silver coins from his pocket and handed them to Fang Chang. Chu Guang motioned to him to untie the prisoners on the cart.
Although Fang Chang felt that it was unsafe to do so, he was not very worried after seeing the manager's combat effectiveness, and walked towards the direction of the cart with Guangfeng.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the young man struggled even more fiercely. However, when he saw clearly the person following the two of them, he was stunned for a moment.
“Chu Guang?”
Name is the pronunciation of this world.
“Well, it’s me.”
Chu Guang smiled and stretched out his hand to give him a hand
“I’m sorry to offend you.”
The person captured as a prisoner by Fang Chang and the others was none other than Yu Hu, the second eldest son of the Yu family who was his rival on Beit Street.
Yu Hu moved his red wrist, glanced nervously at the blue coats surrounding him, and asked in a low voice.
“Are they all your people?”
long time no see.
He thought the stranger had died outside, but he didn't expect to meet him here again. Yesterday, he was trying to persuade his sister not to guard the shack for the stranger. There was dust on the door...
“He is my companion.”
“What are they doing around here?”
“Watch the plot.”
“Juqing? What is that?”
“It’s not important, just ignore them. Speaking of which, why are you here? Where are your dad and brother?”
Chu Guang remembered that whether they were scavenging or hunting, they always acted in groups.
Yu Hu’s expression dimmed and he whispered.
"While hunting a few days ago, my father was injured in the arm by a predator's gun. In order to save his father, my eldest brother was bitten by a hyena raised by the predators. After escaping, my father was alive, but my eldest brother's leg
The injury got infected, and now I have a high fever and am bedridden all the time... Winter is coming soon, and I don’t know if I can survive it."
Hyena, vulture and jackal, the three opportunistic Musketeers in the wasteland, are not taboo when it comes to food choices.
Especially the most common hyena in Qingquan City. When it cannot find prey, it often eats carrion. It is so hungry that it even bites the gnawer. Therefore, its fangs are usually full of bacteria.
If you are bitten by a mutated hyena, the wound may easily become infected if not treated in time, and in severe cases it may even be life-threatening.
After hearing what Yu Hu said, Chu Guang frowned.
The Yu family was quite good to him. Although they didn't take special care of him, their youngest daughter always helped him look after his house and even stopped the Wang family from stealing his house.
"Bring your eldest brother to me. Maybe I can cure him."
Yu Hu was stunned for a moment.
"real?!"
Chu Guang nodded.
“Well, just bring him here.”
Yu Hu looked moved and suddenly lowered his head.
“I’m sorry, you are such a nice person, but we were always worried that you were a bad person.”
Chu Guang said tolerantly.
“It’s okay, it’s human nature to be vigilant.”
He is not a good person to begin with.
“Well, there’s something... I have to apologize to you.”
"What's up?"
Yu Hu blushed and hesitated for a long time, then scratched the back of his head and said.
“The potato you planted at your doorstep...I saw that it never sprouted, so I dug it up and ate it.”
…”
Depend on.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that you dug it!
never mind.
It’s just a piece of potato, it’s not a big deal.
Chu Wuyu said: "It's okay, there is probably something wrong with the planting method."
Yu Hu nodded vigorously.
"Hmm, you really can't grow anything like that! I dug it out and looked at it. Two of the pieces were rotten. If you want to grow potato potatoes, it's not enough to just cut them into pieces. You have to germinate them first. Each piece has at least two buds.
Dot it, then smear the incision with plant ash and plant it, so that it will mature in a month or two!"
Chu Guang looked at him in surprise: "Can you plant?"
The young man smiled honestly and rubbed the back of his head.
“It’s nothing, everyone knows a little bit. But usually it’s the mother, sister-in-law and Xiaoyu who plant it in front of the house. It’s almost impossible to survive outside. It’s either dug up by others or gnawed by rats.”
Chu Guangle said: "Okay, when spring comes next year, I will find something for you to do. Let's not talk about this for now. Go back and carry your brother over."
Hearing what Chu Guang said, the young man remembered that his elder brother was still lying on the bed, and nodded quickly.
“Okay, I’ll go right away.”
…
The straight-line distance between the Wetland Park and Beit Street is about three kilometers. After leaving the park, there are patches of concrete ruins and green plants scattered among the ruins. If you want to avoid the more dangerous areas, you have to take a detour of at least two kilometers.
However, it only took less than two hours for Yu Hu to carry his eldest brother on his back and run here.
Chu Guang asked Teng Teng to bring a piece of fur and put it on the wooden table, and asked Yu Hu to put his eldest brother Yu Xiong on it.
This powerful man was already dying and his face was pale.
The waste pickers on Beit Street have a simple diet, and most of them are malnourished. In addition, they lack effective medical conditions. It would be fine if they don't contract the disease, but if they do contract it and can't handle it, they will most likely die in the end.
Chu Guang took a brief look at his wound, and based on the color of the pus on the wound, he initially judged that it was a bacterial infection, so he gave him an antibiotic that he had drawn last time, and then gave his wound a simple treatment.
“Is it okay to use plant ash?” Yu Hu asked nervously.
“Depending on the circumstances, plant ash calcined at high temperature is fine.”
The ingredients of this product are potassium salts, and it contains alkaline, and its bactericidal effect is pretty good. This is what the Baicao Shuang in "Compendium of Materia Medica" talks about.
Although the effect is a bit worse than alcohol, it is also a good substitute when high-purity alcohol is not available, especially in outdoor situations.
Of course, this refers to plant ash calcined at high temperatures.
It would be a big problem if it was just caught under the stove. Who knows if there is tetanus bacillus in it, and just smearing ashes on it may not send the person away.
About five minutes passed.
Yu Xiong’s complexion improved significantly, his frowning eyebrows relaxed, and his sweating stopped.
Chu Guang wrote it down silently.
As expected of pre-war technology, this antibiotic is indeed effective.
Yu Hu next to him was not so reserved. Seeing that his elder brother's condition improved, he immediately rushed forward excitedly and held his hand with tears in his eyes.
“Brother! How are you feeling now?”
"Xiaohu? Where is this..." Yu Xiong, who had woken up in a daze, noticed Chu Guang standing next to him, and his expression paused, with surprise appearing on his weak face.
“…Chu Guang?”
"it's me."
"you are not……"
“Still alive, but probably won’t go back.”
Yu Xiong was stunned for a moment and looked at the blue coats around him. He probably understood the situation and a smile appeared on his face.
“Congratulations, it seems you have found your companions.”
“Well, I just found it recently,” Chu Guang said with a faint smile, “I’ve thanked you for taking care of me before.”
"Don't say that. We never took care of you, but I saved your life... That capsule must be very expensive." This tall and thick man looked embarrassed.
This kind of pills that feel like plastic are a good thing only found in Boulder City. He has only heard of them before, but has never seen them before.
I think even in Boulder City, not everyone can afford it.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of effort. I’ll give you another one later. If you feel fever, just take it. If you don’t have fever, don’t worry. You can save it to save your life later.”
The good things others do to you will be remembered even if it is just a piece of cake.
Besides, the pills were expensive to them, but to Chu Guang, they were just a reward for drawing a blind box.
Hearing that Chu Guang wanted to give him medicine, Yu Xiong quickly shook his head and said.
"How can that be possible? You saved my life, how could I accept such a valuable thing?"
Chu Guang didn’t talk much to him, and put the aluminum foil cut into small pieces into his brother’s hands.
"You keep it for your brother. I managed to save him, but you died of infection on the way back while carrying him."
Yu Hu looked hesitant, but after taking a look at the injury on his elder brother's leg, he finally nodded.
"Thank you... I will repay you! When I carry my eldest brother back, I will come to work for you every day!"
"It's not necessary. You are the backbone of your family now. You are the only one who can hunt. What will your family eat if you work for me? If you really want to repay me, just close the door now and wait until next spring.
Let’s talk about other things later.”
Seeing that Chu Guang had said this, the two of them did not refuse, but their eyes were full of gratitude, saying that they would definitely repay him when this winter was over.
Lao Bai, who was watching the plot on the side, pulled Fang Chang and asked in a low voice in a voice that the manager could not hear.
“What are they talking about?”
Fang Chang held his chin and thought.
“I don’t understand, but I have a rough guess.”
Ye Shi is encouraging from the side.
“It’s probably okay to talk about it.”
"Okay, let me just say it briefly. It may not be correct... The indigenous boy went out hunting in order to treat his family's illness, and was captured by us. The manager recognized him and asked him to take his seriously ill family member with him.
We came here and cured them with the medicine from the refuge. Then the natives were very moved and said that we were their friends and they would probably establish diplomatic relations with us."
Lao Bai said blankly.
“How to establish diplomatic relations?”
Before Fang Chang could speak, Ye Shi patted him on the shoulder and said with a playful smile.
“You are stupid, how can the indigenous people establish diplomatic relations? Of course it is through marriage! The chief marries his daughter or something, that is not the old routine.”
“Holy shit? Are our managers sacrificing too much?!”
Bangfeng coughed slightly.
“Don’t listen to Ye Shi’s nonsense. Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, I am still more optimistic about the combination of him and the proprietress of the weapons store.”
Fang Chang nodded.
"I can always reach a consensus with the wind. You two should reflect on why your brain waves are always not on the same channel as those of normal people."
Teng Teng’s eyes were shining and he whispered excitedly.
“Why does the CP have to be the boss’s wife? Can’t he be a young man who knows how to repay his kindness?”
“Damn! Something’s wrong with you!”
"Is this a serious game? Is it a serious game?"
…”
Chu Guang couldn’t listen anymore, so he pretended not to hear and walked away.
Speaking of which...
The income of tailoring in the current version seems to be a bit high?
It will be better to balance it in the next version.
