"": ""Cabinet Mountain Town lacked doctors and medicine. Everyone wandered in here after losing their way, and doctors weren't particularly likely to enter Cabinet Mountain," Zhang Baijiao explained flatly.

He wasn't usually this talkative. People came to him for treatment, and he diagnosed them and dispensed medicine. Quietly, each did their part.

This man, who had entered the village a day after Luo Bin and Gu Yiren, was far more seriously injured than Luo Bin. He looked sinister, hardly like a decent person. That was the usual sort who came to Cabinet Mountain Town.

Zhang Baijiao had seen far too much. Had Cabinet Mountain Town ever had a truly good person in all these years?

No.

He couldn't even tell whether Luo Bin was good or bad. But Luo Bin had given him news he had longed for over many years, and that was enough to make him treat Luo Bin kindly.

He was in a good mood.

His solemn expression was only there to keep others from noticing anything unusual.

Precisely because he was in a good mood, he had answered a few extra questions from You Jiang, who hardly looked like a good man.

"True enough. You'd have to have the worst luck in the world to end up in a hellhole like this, right?" You Jiang tried to keep the conversation going.

"Don't move. I'm going to treat your wounds." Zhang Baijiao didn't respond to his remark. He took some bandages and a reasonably sharp knife from the cloth bag he carried.

"Your wounds have healed over too much for me to clean them. I'll have to cut away a layer. Can you bear it? Or should I give you some anesthetic? Or use some other method to help you withstand the pain?"
