Chapter 175 174. A Bird in Hand
Huaiyu read all the posters in the hospital corridor, but after all the knowledge flowed in, his mind was still empty.
Before she could review it again, the door of the emergency room opened and several doctors strode out:
"Are Chen Xing's family members here?"
"Yes!" Huaiyu and Uncle Zaozi quickly responded, "Doctor, how are you?"
The doctor nodded: "They are no longer in danger of death, but because their injuries are too severe and they have been overdrawn, the hospital has made an exception and arranged a medical warehouse for them. They will probably be able to leave the warehouse at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Huaiyu's expression became even more painful: "Then...how many points did you get?"
The doctor paused, looked at the young Huaiyu, and said softly:
"It's like this. The orange-haired boy who was the most seriously injured is also a family member of yours, right? He had a rare and highly toxic fungus in his body. Our entire rescue team made a lot of efforts to save him."
Toxin again?! Huaiyu thought of the pain Zhou Qian had gone through and pursed his lips.
The doctor stood there, looking calm and confident, and said casually:
"After we extracted the mutant fungus specimen, we are currently keeping it in the hospital for everyone to study. If you don't need to keep it as a souvenir, then the hospital will not take it for nothing - all medical expenses for the four people will be waived."
"Look, is this okay?"
Huaiyu: “…”
They are all used for research. This specimen should be quite unique, right? She also wants to see it.
but……
"Okay! Thank you, doctor!"
…
The doctor left with satisfaction, and Huaiyu and Uncle Zaozi completely relaxed, sitting in their chairs and not wanting to move at all.
Uncle Zaozi suddenly realized: "Why did you agree so easily to the specimen the doctor mentioned?"
"He said he would stay in the hospital to do research, and he was so generous as to waive the medical expenses of four people at once. There must be some value in it, right?"
Huaiyu hesitated: "If we change to removing the tumor, the tumor is quite rare and needs to be kept in the hospital for research. Can we still ask for money?"
Uncle Zaozi: “…That’s true.”
"But Chen Xing can't go to the wilderness for a long time, so I thought, why not make some money if I can!"
Huaiyu was tangled up: "I've thought about it! But first of all, I don't know where to sell the mutant bacteria so that I can bid for it."
"Secondly, I don't know how to raise or preserve this thing."
"I'm afraid that if I come back and I don't preserve it properly, I'll be killed. Wouldn't that be a double-edged sword?"
This is the most fundamental reason.
Uncle Zaozi thought about it and decided that he had raised mushrooms before, but that was obviously different from raising mutant bacteria, and he really had no experience at all.
So I had no choice but to nod.
"So I thought, a bird in the hand is worth a hundred in the bush. The hospital at least waived their medical expenses, which should be a big sum, right?"
"That's enough."
"Indeed!" Uncle Zaozi came to his senses when he said this.
And although he was thick-skinned and good at making money, he had no experience in how to make money in a hospital. Even if he was asked to bargain with the doctor, he couldn't do it.
So I had to give up.
But then he thought - leaving it convenient for the hospital, maybe it would be convenient for follow-up visits in the future? He slapped his thigh and said, "Oops!" He forgot to ask a few doctors for information - Xiaoyu, wait here for a while, I'll go and ask around."
"No matter who proposed to waive the medical expenses, let's at least recognize the person and bring someone with us next time - bah! What I mean is, more friends mean more opportunities."
Huaiyu nodded: "I understand."
Uncle Zaozi had now regained his spirits and strolled towards the nurses' station.
…
Uncle Zaozi is very good at chatting and building relationships with people.
Not long after, he came back and took out a candy from his pocket: "Look! I asked for it especially for you."
He had already eaten the previous one, but he felt bad about it and kept pestering for another one.
in addition--
"Don't tell me, luckily we didn't bargain with the doctor. I asked around and found out that many of the highly active biological materials in the medical warehouse are disposable and very expensive!"
"Every two hours of use, it starts at 2,000 points! Depending on the consumables, the price will be even higher."
"Except for military personnel, everyone can redeem medical cabins of different durations according to their merits..."
"Chen Xing and the others will use it until the afternoon."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He looked at his watch again—it was already 5:30 in the morning! The four of them would use the medical warehouse until 2 p.m., not counting other expenses, and the medical warehouse alone would cost nearly 40,000 points!
Hiss! A sky-high price! A sky-high price!
He had never been injured so badly that he had to come to the hospital. Now he finally understood why the medical cabin was not easily used by patients - it was too expensive!
Who the hell can afford this?
"If we had really bargained for that fungus, let alone whether we could find a buyer as soon as possible, it would be another matter whether Fanta and the others could survive!"
Uncle Zaozi took this as a warning: "As expected, you can't think about getting rich in the hospital."
Huaiyu nodded and took note of it carefully.
By the way, I also remembered the doctors Uncle Zaozi mentioned, and decided to wait until Chen Xing and the others woke up and tell everyone the whole story.
And now...
She rubbed her eyes and said, "Uncle Zaozi, we can't leave the warehouse until the afternoon. Why don't you go back and have a rest? You are too tired today."
"There's no rush to come in the afternoon. My brother is in the hospital here. I'll go back later to settle the family. I'll come to see him in the afternoon."
Uncle Zaozi didn't feel very sleepy at first, but when Huaiyu yawned, he couldn't help but open his mouth, and the yawn made tears come out.
Even if I feel like gossiping at this moment, I can’t hide my tiredness - I’m really getting old.
He nodded: "Okay, they haven't woken up yet, there's no point in sitting outside, it's better to go back and have a good rest. I can come and take care of them at night and lend a hand..."
But at this point, Uncle Zaozi suddenly pondered: "Xiaoyu, when I took you to the highway exit, did I tell you what you wanted to buy?"
"Why do I always feel like I've forgotten something?"
Huaiyu uttered an "ah" and looked equally bewildered: "You didn't say what you wanted to buy? You just said you wanted to take me to see it - oh!"
She remembered: "You bought a plastic bag from someone, and he asked for 4 cents! It took a lot of effort to cut it down..."
As she spoke, she felt as if something had been forgotten.
Uncle Zaozi looked blank: "Then why did I buy a plastic bag when I didn't buy anything?"
The two looked at each other for a long time before their tired brains finally started to work, and a flash of inspiration flashed through their minds like lightning -
"My meat! Ahhh my chicken! My bullfrog!"
“Did the tricycle deliver the goods?!”
Update 1. I have a headache. I haven’t moved for too long. My cervical spondylosis has come back. I will start moving tomorrow!
