Medical Clinic
The craftsman recommended by Zhang Li was Aunt Li.
Before, Aunt Li always came to help Zhang Li whenever she had any problems. Now Aunt Li was in urgent need of points, so Zhang Li gave all the orders to her.
Xu Lu had no idea about this. After knocking on Aunt Li's door, she was surprised to see the haggard woman.
However, she was even more surprised when Aunt Li told her the price of a sweater.
"Only forty points?!"
Forty points wasn't high at all, and was actually quite low. Firstly, knitting wasn't easy, and secondly, with the disaster at hand, sweaters were in high demand.
Xu Lu immediately felt that she had gotten a bargain and had perfectly completed the tenant's task.
but...
"Oh, by the way, I heard you're buying up unwanted sheds? How much do you charge per shed? My shed was built by someone special, so it's pretty sturdy. I have some stuff in there, so I can use it for now."
Aunt Li was just about to go into the house to knit a sweater when she remembered something and turned back.
"Of course," Xu Lu nodded quickly. With the increase in new arrivals these days, her "little hotel" is starting to feel a bit underwhelming. But...
"But...Aunt Li, what's wrong with you? Are you in urgent need of money?"
This question stumped Aunt Li.
She was silent for a while, looking at Xu Lu, who was not yet eighteen years old, wondering whether she should pass this heavy burden on to her.
"It's your sister Jin. She was unlucky and got sick accidentally. It's quite serious."
At this time, Xu Lu had not heard of the rumors about her "disfigured face" and just frowned.
"This disease is difficult to cure. Even if you keep it until the end of the world, it will be a huge expense. Now I have to be busy and save as much money as possible. I only have this one daughter, and I will cure her no matter what."
As he spoke, he forced a smile: "Xiao Xu, be careful, your health is the most important thing."
It’s actually like this!
Xu Lu had heard rumors that there was medicine for frostbite at the border crossing. As a longtime resident, she also knew that the territory had interstellar medical robots.
However, she also knew the prices at the border crossings. Even clothes could cost thousands, let alone medicine! Furthermore, the rare medical robots would cost hundreds or even thousands of points each!
Xu Lu knew this, and Aunt Li knew it even better. That's why she worked so hard to save money, even using the strategy of selling sweaters at a low profit margin and high volume. It's clear she knitted day and night.
Xu Lu frowned and looked at Aunt Li's almost pale face.
Even so, he was too pale and haggard.
"Are you sick?" Because of collecting rent, she came into contact with many patients hiding in the house, and suddenly she developed a pair of sharp eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay." Aunt Li waved her hand quickly. "I'm just weak and prone to illness. Just eat a full meal and I'll be fine the next day."
It is true.
Xu Lu frowned, noticing something odd: "Didn't the hotel renovate a long time ago? Why is it still in this state?"
"About..." Aunt Li couldn't figure it out. "Did you eat that morning meal too early? Was the gap between the two meals too long? Anyway...it will be fine tomorrow!"
Xu Lu wanted to say something, but Aunt Li no longer wanted to waste her time knitting sweaters to make money.
She and Xu Lu set a time to view the house and then closed the door.
Inside the room, her daughter was lying on her side on the bed, facing the wall, huddled in the quilt. Silent and motionless, she looked as if she were dead.
Aunt Li sighed but didn't say anything.
She sat silently on a chair at the side, picked up the half-knitted sweater in the wicker basket, rubbed her increasingly weak eyes, and continued knitting.
In the silent room, the soundless snow fell on the windowsill, absorbing all the noise. Occasionally, two loud voices pierced the window, accompanied by the crackling of charcoal in the fireplace, and then the room returned to silence.
The sound of knitting needles colliding could be heard throughout the house.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the room became much darker and even the sound of knitting needles stopped.
The person on the bed suddenly said, "Mom, if you're hungry, go eat. Don't worry about me."
There was no answer for a long while.
She waited for a long time and asked again, but no one answered. Her mind was confused, thinking, why didn't her mother answer her if she didn't go out?
Then, as if waking from a dream, he quickly climbed out of bed and looked behind him in panic.
The next scene made her eyes bloodshot!
I saw Aunt Li lying weakly on the recliner with her eyes closed. The half-knitted sweater fell on her knees, and the ball of yarn had already rolled to the door of the toilet.
He was unconscious for an unknown period of time, and his life or death is unknown!
"Mom!" She no longer cared about being sad, she screamed in fear and grief, and rolled and crawled onto the bed.
"Come help! Is there anyone who can help? My mom!"
The screams echoed throughout the entire residential building.
.
Aunt Li is the second person after Luo Zhiwen to contract a serious illness due to the ice and snow disaster.
Fortunately, Aunt Li was not in danger of life. She was just overworked and consumed more calories than the "delicious food" provided, causing her to become "weak and prone to illness."
Due to the negative state and lack of proper rest, I was just a little anxious and tired, and suddenly I fell into a "dying" state.
Fortunately, she had been staying indoors and was discovered just after get off work. Someone helped send her to the temple, and she quickly recovered her health.
Otherwise, who knows what will happen!
As Aunt Li became ill, more and more people developed illnesses other than frostbite. The most common symptoms were fever, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.
The latter is much more serious than the former. If you don't pay attention, you will enter the stage of "dying" and reach the point of being on the verge of death.
"As long as you don't become weak and susceptible to illness, that's all that matters. If you're healthy and have a strong immune system, you won't get sick naturally."
Now, everyone who is still healthy in the territory is in danger, fearing that they will become the next person to be infected with "weak body and easy to get sick".
They dare not miss any meal, check their clothes again and again before going out, and even have to set a time for work, and supervise each other to not stay up late or work overtime.
Ye Miaomiao had been paying attention to this matter because of what she had heard from Li Ru before.
She asked researchers to research it, but even with the help of the priests, how could a drug be developed so quickly? In just one day, the rapid progression of the disease left Ye Miaomiao somewhat at a loss.
The first two solutions that came to her mind were exactly the same as Xu Lu's previous ideas.
There weren't many shops left at the border crossing. Ye Miaomiao took advantage of her lunch break to look around and luckily found beeswax hand cream for frostbite at Little Bees.
Fortunately, it wasn't a cold-weather item, so not many people rushed to buy it. Ye Miaomiao was lucky enough to buy a small can and brought it back to the research institute for research.
Her family also raises bees on their territory and can produce beeswax.
But as for medicines to treat other diseases...I can't say there might be some, I can only say that there really aren't any!
As for interstellar medical robots, they were rare and hard to come by, a treasure trove that the Hungry Hungry Territory kept in reserve. If they were used immediately when trouble struck, how could they possibly keep their supply stockpiled?
Ye Miaomiao thought about it and decided to think of another solution.
When the security team started taking notes, they recorded the occupations that all residents naturally had, such as Zuo Haohan's "bartender" and Fang Yan's "bounty hunter."
These people either have particularly high attributes in a certain attribute; or they are proficient in a certain profession before the end of the world and automatically obtain the title of this profession after entering the game.
Disappointingly, there is no "doctor" in the territory.
Assuming there is a doctor, you can let the doctor treat your illness.
Ye Miaomiao sighed and shifted her gaze to the "Medical Clinic" building.
She didn't actually hold out much hope for the clinic, as "Technology: Medicine" was an independent branch encompassing numerous different technologies, requiring separate research for even the smallest illness.
The "medical clinic" has the name of a medical center, but it is actually just a shelter with a few beds. Before the development of technology, the NPC doctors inside were all good at serving tea, water and waste.
How did Ye Miaomiao predict that the illness would come so quickly? She had just started studying the simplest "Medical Science: Frostbite".
Fortunately, the territory has a large stockpile of herbs, with hundreds of sacks already in stock. Research is only a matter of time.
With this in mind, the medical center should be put aside for the time being, at least to give the residents some comfort.
Ye Miaomiao built a "medical center" in the empty territory next door, next to the newly built courtyard. The medical center is a large building with development potential. Not only can "Technology: Medicine" be slowly researched and upgraded, but it can also solve more diseases.
After technological upgrades, buildings can also add various medical equipment such as medicines, testing, and radiology.
Of course, things like sterile rooms will have to wait until the electrical age, and that’s all in the future.
Now, Ye Miaomiao came back to her senses from her fantasy of a bright future.
She deliberately left a large piece of land for the medical hospital. Now, in the middle of the open space, a small two-story iron house appeared in the middle, and an NPC walked out of the house.
With empty hands and the newly acquired title of "Medical Team No. 1", he walked up to Ye Miaomiao with an expressionless face.
"Lord, the current medical technology in the territory is... zero. The number of patients I can treat every day is... zero. What kind of ailment do you need me to treat?"
Ye Miaomiao: “…”
She patted the doctor's shoulder kindly and said, "You don't have to do anything now. Just record the symptoms of every patient who comes to the hospital. Then..."
"Tell them that technology is being researched and that medical treatments and drugs will be available soon, so they don't have to worry."
"If all else fails, then believe in theology." Ye Miaomiao pointed sadly at the nearby temple and said, "Tell those whose health is about to drop to zero to go to the temple to prolong their lives and buy a life potion or something."
The doctor had no idea that he was just one step away from losing his faith. He nodded expressionlessly and turned back to the hospital.
A medical center was established, but this was not a solution.
Technological development is slow, but sick people cannot wait a moment.
When Ye Miaomiao was feeling worried, a private message came from Huaji, which made her eyes light up.
"The doctor said the chick is indeed sick and she needs to do more research. Miaomiao, you won't blame me for having one less chick in your territory, will you? You won't be mad at me, will you? If you are, remember that I'm your best friend!"
Ye Miaomiao didn't take Huaji's hesitation in the second half of the sentence to heart at all.
The word "doctor" flashed by her face, and she was shocked all over - doctor!
