Chapter 42
The community and Liu Family Village...
Dependence and Rebellion...
They took two completely different paths.
As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than their mother.
Xiao Yunjie saw through Xiao Tong's little scheme at a glance. She didn't press him for details, but simply said, "We, Liu Family Village, will never forget Master Bai's great kindness."
The elders of Liu Family Village also noticed the special nature of these pills.
Its effects are much slower than antibiotics, and its taste is... well, horrifying.
But its ease of use is just too great.
Antibiotics have significant limitations. To maximize their effectiveness, they must be administered by a "Physician." Master Bai worked day and night to barely stabilize the situation.
However, the scarcity of "Physician" is something that all the residents of the Garbage Mountain are well aware of.
Master Bai is getting old...
Once his soul returns to the immortal realm, this Garbage Mountain will truly become a place of despair.
These anti-inflammatory pills are different...
It doesn't rely on Physician's injections; as long as it's taken regularly and in the prescribed amount with water, even seven- or eight-year-old children can take it on their own.
The effect is a bit worse, and the taste is a bit worse...
However, as long as the medicine is effective, the circulation of this anti-inflammatory pill is far greater than that of antibiotics.
Many villagers also saw the benefits, and they respected Bai Jing even more.
They were unaware of Song Xiaozhu's existence, assuming that Bai Jing was simply elderly and had devoted herself to researching such miraculous pills for the sake of the refugees at the Garbage Mountain.
Within two or three days, the anti-inflammatory pills had already shown noticeable effects.
Bai Jing had been observing carefully, taking notes with pen and paper... With such large-scale use, he had a clearer understanding of the anti-inflammatory pills' effects and could now write a detailed instruction manual for the drug...
Xiao Tong, leaning on his cane, came over. "Master Bai, I'll go back to the community with you."
Bai Jing frowned. "You stay home and rest."
Xiao Tong shook his head. "I'm fine, I'm perfectly capable, don't worry!"
He was worried about Bai Jing going back alone, and arranging for someone else risked exposing Song Xiaozhu, so he simply went back and forth himself.
Despite his injuries, if he were truly in danger, the beast-transformed "Hunter" would still possess a fighting prowess unimaginable to ordinary people.
Fighting with strength.
-
Song Xiaozhu estimated the time and knew that Bai Jing should be back by now.
She kept the fresh meat, wanting to wait for him to come back so they could stew it together and eat it.
As for where the fresh meat comes from...
As an "All-Purpose Craftsman," one naturally needs to research and develop new items.
Besides, she's quite wealthy now; it's not surprising that she could buy some frozen meat from a recycling station and repurpose it into fresh meat.
Song Xiaozhu spotted Xiao Tong limping at a glance. The village chief was quite kind; even though he was injured, he still took the initiative to bring Bai Jing back. Song Xiaozhu gave him an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl.
Bai Jing was unaware of the fresh meat incident. He stopped Song Xiaozhu and said, "Don't rush to cook. Let me tell you about the anti-inflammatory pills."
Song Xiaozhu said to Qiu Shuyu, "Sister Shuyu, wait for me a moment."
Qiu Shuyu understood and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
If it were just wild vegetable porridge, she would have cooked it directly, but this is such a big piece of meat... let Song Xiaozhu handle it!
Bai Jing took out her notes from the past few days and spread them out in front of Song Xiaozhu: "I recorded the efficacy of Xiaoyao pills in patients with different levels of illness..."
Song Xiaozhu took it and exclaimed inwardly, "Wow!"
Master Bai was clearly a cultured man; his handwriting was clean and neat, with a touch of a doctor's elegance, but not so illegible that it was impossible to read.
In particular, the recorded content is focused, well-organized, and includes detailed comparison charts.
Bai Jing wasn't surprised at all that Song Xiaozhu Song Xiaozhu read. He followed her reading pace and explained, "... For seriously ill patients, the effect is less pronounced, but it still has a good therapeutic effect..."
Overall, the anti-inflammatory pills were more effective than Song Xiaozhu had imagined.
In her world, every household keeps medicines on hand, and antibiotics are even sold as pills, readily available at any pharmacy.
The anti-inflammatory pills synthesized by this Synthesizer are as effective as intravenous injections...
Of course, an injection from a "Physician" is more effective than a regular intravenous injection, and also more effective than anti-inflammatory pills.
But Physician are scarce, while anti-inflammatory pills are available in hundreds of doses every minute.
After Bai Jing finished speaking, she sighed softly, "Very good pills."
This sigh came from the doctor's very heart.
Xiao Tong had been in the temple for the past two days. Seeing the effects of the anti-inflammatory pills, he felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Song Xiaozhu.
He always remembered Song Xiaozhu's words. "I still want to ask Village Chief Xiao a favor."
After observing Song Xiaozhu in the village for two days, Xiao Tong was completely convinced of her abilities.
Let's not talk about one thing...
Even if Song Xiaozhu wanted his position as village chief, he would willingly give it up!
At this moment, his gaze was intense as he looked at Song Xiaozhu: "Little Sister Xiaozhu, just tell me what you need. As long as it's within my power to decide, I, Xiao Tong, will go through fire and water for you!"
Chapter 42
After Xiao Tong spoke, Bai Jing also looked at Song Xiaozhu.
The anti-inflammatory pills saved the lives of nearly half of the villagers in Liu Family Village, so Song Xiaozhu could ask for anything she wanted.
Bai Jing couldn't figure out Song Xiaozhu's thoughts at first, but she had been pondering them quite a bit in Liu Family Village these past few days, having nothing else to do.
Although Xiao Tong is straightforward and simple, and his gratitude towards Song Xiaozhu is sincere, the real person in charge of Liu Family Village is the scheming Ms. Xiao.
Xiao Tong couldn't hide it from Xiao Yunjie; she would definitely find out the source of the anti-inflammatory pills, it was just a matter of time.
When Xiao Yunjie finds out, she will surely be grateful to Song Xiaozhu and will fulfill her request...
only...
Bai Jing was worried that Song Xiaozhu lacked experience and might ask for an exorbitant amount, turning what should have been a good thing into a hidden danger.
