"Take off your clothes and stand still!"
Wade Doctor ordered Sam who walked into the tent.
"Wha... what?"
"I told you to take off your clothes."
After receiving the doctor's confirmation, Sam's eyes widened, his dirty face turned red, and he looked embarrassed.
The well-dressed man in front of me looks very kind, but why does he sound like a beast in clothes? He... he's not going to cheat on me, is he? He and I are both great men!
Looking at Sam's expression, Wade Doctor explained pleasantly, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor, I'm just checking your body."
"Really? Then... Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Doctor."
Sam's embarrassment still didn't go away, but he still took off his clothes honestly. There was a burning brazier in the tent. It was very warm, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold.
Why do you need to check your body? He asked a little worriedly, "Doctor, if you find any disease, will you be kicked out?"
"Don't worry! If it's just a minor problem, we won't care. We will only take isolation measures if a contagious disease is detected."
"Isolation?" Sam was a little scared when he heard the word, "Are you going to lock us up?"
Wade Doctor walked around him with a mask on, carefully observing every part of his body, and replied, "That's true, but it's definitely not like treating prisoners, and we will give you medication and treatment, and then we will arrange your future work and life. In short, don't think wildly."
"Oh, thank you doctor."
Sam The hanging heart was relieved, and Underground Passage began to express gratitude.
Wade Doctor estimated that these refugees had no major problems. After all, they had traveled a long way from the south to Northwest Bay. Those with problems had already been unable to hold on on the road.
"Okay!"
After completing the examination, Wade Doctor patted Sam on the shoulder, "Young man is in good health. I wish you can live the life you want in Northwest Bay."
Sam nodded in gratitude. "Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!"
Finally found a solution, this wandering life is finally coming to an end.
"After you go out, go to the porridge tent to get a meal!"
Food? As soon as he heard this word, Sam became energetic. He kept smelling the fragrance, his stomach growled, and he couldn't wait for a long time.
He immediately went to pick up the clothes he had just thrown on the ground, wanting to put them on quickly to get the food.
Unexpectedly, another person in the tent picked up the clothes on the ground faster than him. Like the doctor, the other person was tightly wrapped.
"Sir... my clothes?"
"Oh? I forgot about that."
The man wearing gloves immediately took out a baggage from a big bag nearby and threw it to Sam.
"You put this on first."
Sam After unpacking the bag, he found that it contained a set of cotton-padded clothes, covering the upper body and lower body. It looked like the stitching was not very particular, but the stitching was quite strong.
It turns out that this gentleman thinks that he is too sloppily dressed and will affect the appearance of the city when he goes out. Indeed, the suit I am wearing can no longer be called clothes, and it is more appropriate to call it rags.
"Hehe! This man is so thoughtful! He even gave me a set of clothes."
He smiled sheepishly and put on his new clothes quickly.
To be honest, it doesn't fit very well, but it's warmer and more comfortable than mine.
The refugees all came from the south and did not understand the climate in the north. It was the turn of autumn and winter, and they were freezing during the journey.
Sam stretched out his hand to the man wearing gloves, intending to take back his original clothes. After all, he had worn them all the way here, and that set of clothes was one of the few possessions he had.
The other party had no intention of returning it to him, and said to Sam, "We are going to wash your clothes and iron them with boiling water before returning them to you."
Sam was confused. "Scald it with boiling water? Why?"
"Because there is... forget it, I can't explain it to you! Anyway, it will be returned to you eventually. What's your name?"
"Sam, sir, my name is Sam."
"Okay, I've made a note of it. Go out and get the food quickly. Don't delay the people behind you."
"Yes, I'll be out right away."
Sam had doubts in his heart and reluctantly took a look at his old clothes. A man wouldn't just throw them away. He would be very distressed if he did.
Forget it, if the old ones don't go away and the new ones don't come in, didn't I just get a new set?
Gumbo! bread! Here I come! He rushed out of the tent with a craving for food on his mind.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Wade Doctor, take a look."
The hygienist plucked Sam's old clothes while complaining to the doctor:
"I really want to burn this pile of junk. What's on it, bedbugs, lice, fleas, everything. Look at these white spots, they are all eggs."
Wade Doctor spread his hands and said helplessly, "Don't laugh at people from other places. The health conditions of our people here are not much better."
The hygienist's eyes showed longing. "I look forward to the 'New Life Movement' mentioned by Lord Greiman every day to start immediately. Ever since I came into contact with the knowledge about microorganisms at Ves Institute and became a hygienist, I have always been in a state of anxiety."
"Peace of mind, peace of mind." The doctor comforted him, "Hasn't it been like this for thousands of years? And changing a person's concept of hygiene and hygiene habits is not something that happens overnight. Take your time."
Not everyone is as open-minded as Sam just now, such as in Susan's tent...
"Don't even think about taking my clothes away! This is my only property!"
A female refugee hugged her old clothes tightly and refused to let anyone move them.
Susan comforted her, "Your clothes... we will return them to you. We just need to wash them. Don't worry."
"No! I don't want to be separated from this dress for a moment. This is the only thing my parents left me... Wuwuwu!"
The female refugee collapsed on the ground and burst into tears, probably remembering something.
Susan is in a dilemma and doesn't know what to do.
"Militia!" The hygienist next to her immediately shouted outside the tent.
Two men rushed in immediately, and the hygienist briefly explained the situation. Militia took the female refugee's old clothes off the ground, and then forcibly dragged the crying and screaming female refugee out.
Susan asked the female health worker in confusion, "Isn't this... not a good thing to do?"
The female health worker looked at her calmly and said, "There's nothing bad about it, Susan Doctor. It's a great kindness for the lord to take in these refugees. It would be too ungrateful for them not to obey the arrangement."
Susan can't say anything to refute. She will always show infinite sympathy to those unfortunate people, such as those refugees and the girl in front of her.
During the training at Ves Institute, she learned that there was a special group of women in the class. They were imprisoned by pirates and lived a miserable life for many years. Some of them were even kidnapped by pirates since they were young, and their entire childhood was full of misfortune.
It was the navy of Arda that rescued them. The lord arranged for them to learn nursing knowledge at Ves Institute, with a view to training them into "hygienists" or "nurses." According to Diaz Miss, the two new professions proposed by the Earl were related to saving lives and healing the wounded.
This is nothing less than giving them a second life, and it is precisely because of this that they have a blind and superstitious worship of the lord.
And the girl in front of me is one of them.
Susan sighed inwardly, "Oh, they are all a bunch of pitiful people."
