Frostbite Cream

Medicine is life-saving, but Bai Xin used to be an employee of the territory and always speaks up for them, which is quite common among the newcomers.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then put the medicine bag in Bai Xin's hand and waited for her decision.

I walked aside and opened the medicine bag. A strong, foul smell hit me. Anyone familiar with it would know it was the smell of Chinese medicine.

Bai Xin frowned and questioned, "You have frostbite. Skin diseases are treated with external application. Why do you need to eat these?"

Before anyone could respond, someone nearby overheard the conversation and hurried over: "Is this medicine for frostbite? If you don't need it, sell it to me and I'll give you ten points!"

He bought it at exactly double the price, which neither violated the rules of the territory nor showed enough sincerity.

Bai Xin's friend Xu Yuan was a bit annoyed. Luckily for her, although she had frostbite on her hands and face, it wasn't serious, just a few red pimples.

She was anxious to get it healed quickly, lest both the first and second faces be ruined, but as a result, not only was there a white heart, but now another Cheng Yaojin jumped out.

She angrily scolded: "Why don't you queue up and buy it yourself!"

The man scratched his head and said, "There are too many people queuing up."

Turning around, they saw that not only was the lobby packed with people waiting to see a doctor, but there were even more people queuing outside the pharmacy, even exceeding their imagination of the territory's population.

Has everyone in the territory come?

"Then you..." You should buy the medicine yourself.

Bai Xin looked at him hesitantly until he felt guilty.

What the man didn't say was that he'd heard inside information that the medicine was limited and that it was being given first to the sickest. People like him, who only had a few mosquito bites, might not get any.

Bai Xin hesitated for a moment and then gently advised, "It's safer to give him the medicine to try. He's well-dressed and looks like an older resident with a lot of savings. Even if he gets sick from the food, he can be cured. We can't recover from the disease. Anyway, it's only five points. If it works, you can buy more later."

"But..." Xu Yuan didn't want to give it.

"Trust me." Bai Xin said without question, "I'll make everyone pay attention. The new residents are isolated and helpless. They know I'm doing this for their own good."

Seeing the medicine package being handed into the man's hands, he looked so happy, as if he had great confidence in the medicine. Xu Yuan suddenly felt like he was being wronged.

Didn't she buy the medicine with her own money? Is it fair for Bai Xin to give her things to someone else? She felt so much remorse that she couldn't bring herself to ask for them back.

I just hope...Bai Xin is right.

Not everyone has such a tortuous experience like Bai Xin. Because of the desire to stand up for justice, they look at the medicines in the territory with prejudice.

In fact, that is only a minority of people. More people understand that in this snowy and icy place, it is a great fortune to have something that can be used as medicine, no matter whether it is elementary or advanced.

At this moment, Ye Miaomiao was extremely grateful that she had devoted herself to stockpiling goods and filling up the warehouse. She collected all kinds of things as long as she saw them.

There are all kinds of primary medicines.

Some medicines, such as Ma Huang Tang, which is specifically used to treat influenza, are mostly grown in the medicine fields. The quantity is enough to make thousands of copies, enough for everyone in the territory.

Some medicines, such as the topical chilblain cream for chilblains, require beeswax. But the bees in the greenhouse haven't been fully raised yet, and the only thing they have is some beeswax purchased from a small bee shop.

Ye Miaomiao restricts the purchase of frostbite cream to only those with injuries judged to be "serious."

Internal frostbite medicine also lacked aconite, the root of the Aconitum plant, which is highly poisonous. Given the territory's current level, it wasn't enough to be prepared into medicine, so only a small amount was cultivated.

The inside information of the medicine buyer was correct. Ye Miaomiao also set purchase limits for internal medicines.

Overall, the herbs are adequate.

Ye Miaomiao felt relieved and at the same time, she cheered herself up. The momentum of stockpiling could not be stopped!

Ye Miaomiao plans to build another greenhouse specifically for growing various medicinal herbs.

Many disasters of civilization are natural disasters that humans cannot resist. The weather may be unsuitable for planting for several consecutive months, and greenhouses are essential buildings.

Once the greenhouse is built, medicines can be made available!

Before building the greenhouse, Ye Miaomiao placed a dozen or so doses of flu medicine in the portal. Storm Territory was a crucial source of divine light, and they couldn't afford to let anything happen to them... It was just unclear if the same medicine used by humans could be used by animals.

It will take some time for the medicine to take effect.

Ye Miaomiao was busy redistributing the land. After the territory was upgraded, the thick soil plain expanded. Ye Miaomiao squeezed out another acre of land to build a greenhouse, distributed various scarce medicines on the land, and then divided the farmers into two groups to work in shifts.

After finishing all this, it was already dark. I took a shower and fell asleep. It was already the fifth day.

I don't know if it's because of the speed of time flowing in the game, or if the items in the game have special effects.

The person who took the medicine yesterday fell asleep and felt almost better.

The most obvious case was Aunt Li’s daughter, Sister Jin. Her frostbite was diagnosed as “serious” by the doctor, so she received a limited amount of frostbite cream.

The frostbite cream smelled faintly of medicine, and the wooden box was unremarkable.

Chilblain cream costs 10 points, a temporary price increase. It was originally only 8 points, but the extra two points are due to the tax at the border crossing. The pharmacist said the price will come down later.

Sister Jin hadn't held out much hope. This was completely different from the hundreds or even thousands of points they'd heard about. Ten points was already cheap enough, but there was a two-point tax rate. Did you think an eight-point medication could really cure such severe frostbite?

There was no mirror in the territory. After Aunt Li helped her apply the medicine, Sister Jin only felt a cool feeling on her face and smelled a medicinal scent, which was not offensive, so she ignored it.

Sister Jin has now come to terms with it. She hopes the mother and daughter can be together. Regardless of whether the medicine works or not, it's good to buy some comfort for her mother.

She continued Aunt Li's work and worked hard at knitting sweaters.

It was not until she was about to go to bed that Sister Jin remembered the medicine on her face and wondered whether she should wash it off before going to bed.

When he looked up, he saw his mother staring at him with tears in her eyes.

Sister Jin: “?” Before she could ask her doubts, she heard Aunt Li asking questions.

"Sister, your face..."

On the face? Just as Sister Jin was about to touch her face, Aunt Li quickly stopped her: "Don't touch it!"

Could there be something wrong with the medicine? Sister Jin felt a little panic in her heart, but her trust in the territory made her calm down and she didn't wipe away the medicine.

"Sister, the broken skin is no longer red, and the swollen areas are no longer swollen. The areas where you had thick scars have peeled off a little, and it seems like they are healing."

What!

Sister Jin resisted the urge to touch her face. The medicine was very little, and the doctor told her to keep it on for a day, and it would be best to check again tomorrow morning.

At this moment, Sister Jin also knew why her mother's eyes were filled with tears. What she thought about during the day and dreamed about at night was happening right before her eyes!

She hadn't slept well that night, tossing and turning in a panic. She was worried about the condition of her face, and worried that staying up late would cause inflammation and affect the effectiveness of the medicine.

I finally fell asleep when the roosters crowed at dawn. When I woke up, the first thing I did was touch my face -

After cutting open the rough ointment, I felt a smooth and delicate skin!

Sister Jin: “!” She hasn’t woken up yet, has she?

"Mom! Mom!" He made the most instinctive call and came face to face with Aunt Li who came into the house carrying lunch.

Lunch fell to the ground with a "bang", and the fair skin was revealed under the ointment that was wiped off. It was obvious that she was completely healed!

Tears welled up in Aunt Li's eyes. She didn't care about her meal anymore and ran over to hug Sister Jin tightly. Her daughter, who had been autistic and buried in her bed from morning till night, was finally back to health!

"It's okay, it's okay!" She cried with joy.

The miracle of Sister Jin's frostbite being cured overnight first shocked the neighbors next door. After a few pieces of news spread, the whole territory knew about it.

That small box of ointment worth ten points actually has such miraculous effects!

The bad news is that only patients with "severe" frostbite can buy frostbite cream. The good news is that the greenhouse is under construction. In seven days at most, a new batch of medicinal materials will be put into storage, and the frostbite can be cured by taking frostbite medicine internally continuously.

When Bai Xin's friend Xu Yuan first heard the news, he felt disbelief.

Can the frostbite cream sold in the territory for ten points have this effect? ​​Then what about the medicine that cost five points yesterday...

She quickly went to find another friend who had frostbite, only to find that the friend's skin, which was originally worse than hers, had almost healed to the same degree as hers!

You don't need to ask to know whether frostbite medicine is effective or not.

Xu Yuan: “?” Then what is she.

At this moment, Bai Xin was busy encouraging new residents to go to the garment factory to "make trouble" and ask the territory to start producing thick clothes immediately.

Bai Xin had plenty of money, and Xu Yuan had to work day and night, so he didn't go with her.

Xu Yuan secretly returned to the pharmacy without Bai Xin's knowledge. When she wanted to buy medicine again, the pharmacist told her that the frostbite medicine was in limited supply and she had to wait until the previous dose was finished before buying the next one.

A set of medicine lasts for four days, so you have to wait for four full days!

Xu Yuan touched her skin with tears in her eyes, hoping to tell her that as long as there was frostbite cream, even a disease like Sister Jin's could be cured.

Her actual emotions were clear. She couldn't buy frostbite cream for four whole days. She didn't dare to gamble and she didn't want her skin to become like that!

How could it turn out like this! I should have just been like everyone else, taking medicine and everything would have been fine!

Now that's great, if she really, really... I can't imagine it.

Thinking of the medicine bag she had bought but given away, Xu Yuan felt resentful. Bai Xin was fine, but she was in big trouble.

Is Bai Xin really doing this for her own good, or is he just trying to satisfy his own desire to do this for her own good?

Xu Yuan thought back to the past, and it became clearer and clearer, and she became more and more convinced. She had to find the medicine quickly and stay away from Bai Xin from now on.

At this moment, Margaret, who had already decided to leave, had already packed her things and was waiting for nightfall before leaving without looking back.

Those who planned to stay saw those who were determined to leave making busy preparations, and their once-sure decision began to waver.

People are always like this. When it comes to the critical moment, they are afraid of regretting it and always leave the decision to others.

Just as Xu Yuan listened to Bai Xin's words, a figure in the slums quietly walked out and found Duke Feng.
