Chapter 212
There were a few NPCs standing near the bulletin board, discussing the contents.
Seeing people gathering, Li Mu parked his electric bike on the side of the road, and the four of them got off and went to the bulletin board to check the contents.
They even stood next to the islanders who were pointing at the bulletin board and chatting, so that they could hear what they were discussing.
There was a lot of messy information posted on the bulletin board, and Xia Beibei flipped through the layers of notices.
While flipping through them, he reported to Qiao Sheng and the others in real time. There was rental information, missing person information, some laws and regulations issued by the island owner's office, and even barter information in the corner. It was really varied.
After reading the largest and most prominent notice, Qiao Sheng and his friends began to listen to the discussions of the islanders around them. These people did not disappoint everyone and explained the whole story clearly.
It turned out that this notice was issued by the island owner's mansion. The content was very simple, which was to recruit talented people or famous rural doctors. Anyone who thought he was capable could go to the island owner's mansion to register. Regardless of whether he could meet the standards or not, he would receive generous gifts.
Passerby A lowered his voice: "I heard that several capable people who went in were rolled up in straw mats and taken out of the island owner's mansion through the back door in the middle of the night."
Passerby B didn't believe it at all and retorted: "Impossible, I have a sister who works in the island owner's mansion, and she has never heard of this. She said that many people who seek fame and reputation were exposed and kicked out on the spot after entering the island owner's mansion. This notice has been posted for more than ten days, and everyone who can stay in the island owner's mansion has been kicked out."
Passerby C shook his head and said: "The way this notice was issued is not scientific. The island is locked down here, and people without identity documents are not allowed to enter or leave. There is a notice over there that they are looking for capable people. Those who have some ability on this island have already surrendered to the island owner's mansion. How can they still stay here? Is the island owner crazy? How can he do such a contradictory thing? "
Passerby A covered his mouth with his hand: "Just talk nonsense, how can you criticize the island owner? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Passerby B said indifferently: "I think he is right. If outsiders are not allowed to enter, the road for the capable people to get up is blocked, and the people inside are not allowed to leave. This news They can't be brought to other islands, and the news can't be spread, so how can they
recruit the talented people they talked about. "Passerby A made sure that Passerby C would stop talking nonsense before letting go of his hand and said, "Talented people, those who have the ability to come in are called talented people, and those who can't even get on the island are not talented people, maybe this is the first hurdle set for them everywhere."
After that, they discussed the reason why the island owner's mansion recruited talented people. They were all rumors that could not be verified. Some said that the old island owner's wife was critically ill, and some said that the island owner's soul was lost in the sea when he went out to sea, but it has not been announced yet, and the island owner's mansion is now in chaos. There
are also people who say that the eldest daughter and the young master of the island owner's family have had an accident. Anyway, all three generations of this family have been guessed.
Maybe they had been standing here and chatting for too long, and they were hot and tired, so they decided to go to a nearby tavern to have some food and drinks, and then left the bulletin board arm in arm.
"This is interesting. Something happened in the island owner's mansion, and they are looking for capable people. Suddenly, I feel like our chance has come." Lin Haiyang tilted his head, which had been tilted to eavesdrop, and smiled at them, raising his eyebrows.
"Aren't you afraid that this will lead us into a trap?" Xia Beibei actually thought that what he said made sense, but she couldn't bear to see his smug look, and just wanted to argue with him.
Lin Haiyang rarely said back, but instead turned his eyes to Qiao Sheng and Li Mu who were talking in a low voice. They had the same idea, that is, to go around the island a few times today to see if there was a chance to trigger the countdown mission.
If they really can't find it, then they can explain that the key point is in the island owner's mansion, and then they can go directly to apply for the job. No risk, no gain. Even if it's dangerous, they have to try.
"Beibei, you and Lin Haiyang stay outside. If Li Mu and I fail, you can still think of a way to rescue us. If we succeed, it won't be too late to introduce you in. What do you think?" Qiao Sheng felt that he had to leave a way out for himself. If there was a problem, it would be troublesome if everyone got involved at once.
Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang didn't even have a chance to speak before they were suppressed by Li Mu. They didn't have a chance to refute at all. The matter was settled. It was called suppression, but in fact it was just explaining the pros and cons of the matter again, and then asking them to stop being emotional and make a rational choice. Sure enough, they both chose to defend the rear.
After the discussion, the four of them got on the electric car again and drove around the island. When they returned to the parking lot at the port, it was dark.
This island is really not small. During dinner, they couldn't help but discuss the complete supporting facilities on the island, including power plants, water plants, and various industries closely related to people's livelihood. There are also many farmlands on the island.
Because of the many facilities, the islanders had to build their houses higher. Qiao Sheng and his friends thought that the islanders should live in the separate courtyards they rented, but after a round, they found that it was not the case at all. There were four- or five-story houses rising from the ground everywhere.
The next morning, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu handed the car keys and the house to Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang, and they walked towards the island owner's mansion with You Su and Ah Dai.
The reason for bringing these two people was to make themselves look more mysterious. Along the way, anyone who saw the snowy owl and the Arctic fox they brought couldn't help but sigh, after all, no one would have thought that these two animals were tamed.
After walking for more than an hour, they finally arrived at the island owner's mansion. They said something to the gatekeeper, who showed no disdain and let them into the gatehouse. He then called the worker who was sweeping the floor to report.
While no one was in the house, Qiao Sheng sent an email to Xia Beibei to complain that she had paid too much to let more people see her and Li Mu enter the island owner's mansion. In this weather of over 40 degrees, under the scorching sun, she walked for more than an hour.
When they were almost there, they even ducked into the side path, wiped off the sweat stains on their bodies, and quickly changed their clothes to make themselves look less shabby before knocking on the door of the island owner's mansion.
It was really that the sweaty look did not fit the character of a capable person. It was not easy for them to maintain this character.
They had been sitting in the gatehouse for less than five minutes when the young worker brought out a middle-aged man. The man introduced himself politely as the butler of the island owner's mansion. The island owner was not at home at the moment, so he had to receive them. He asked for forgiveness for his negligence. He
first led Qiao Sheng and the others to the flower hall. It was not known whether the island owner's mansion was newly built or an old site. The pavilions and towers looked like ancient mansions.
Qiao Sheng was a little confused when he saw the ancient and modern mixed rooms and cups in front of him.
After the butler's introduction, they learned that the island owner's surname was Pei, Pei Mingyu, and the butler was Bai Jing. Everyone called him Butler Bai, so Qiao Sheng and the others could call him that too. He
did not reveal anything else, and directly led the topic to what Qiao Sheng and Li Mu were capable of, whether they knew medicine or other superpowers.
"I know a little bit about medicine and my fighting skills are not low. I just don't know how Butler Bai needs us to prove this?" Li Mu asked with a smile.
Butler Bai estimated that he had met many applicants recently, so he quickly had someone carry a wounded person. The people who carried the person looked big and strong.
"I'll trouble you two to take a look at this patient. As for these four, they are from the family guards. Since you two have decent fighting skills, why don't we try it out and see how good you are." Butler Bai happily arranged a lot of work for them.
The problem of this patient is easy to solve. Qiao Sheng and the others can see the specific debuffs of this kind of NPC, so when they saw the long list of debuffs on this NPC's head, they couldn't help but admire this person. He had a series of problems such as anemia, poisoning, heat stroke, and wounds. I guess Prince Yan would praise him after seeing this: This guy is really hard to kill.
These diseases were too simple for Qiao Sheng and his team, but considering that they couldn't show off their strength by just feeding them medicine, they still had to do something more drastic.
Qiao Sheng dissolved the insurance and detoxification pills in the summer heat tea. Because she was doing it sideways with her back to the people, these NPCs could only see that she had a bottle of water in her hand, and without saying anything, she poured the water directly into the mouth of the injured NPC.
Li Mu even started to show off his skills, taking out a short knife and using a set of flesh-cutting treatment on the wounded NPC's body.
At first, the wounded were not given anesthesia, and the screams were heard throughout the island owner's mansion. Even with such a loud volume, Li Mu still let him scream for more than half an hour. In the end, his ears really hurt, so he asked Qiao Sheng to give him some knockout drugs to knock him out.
In fact, the whole work of cutting out the rotten flesh, applying medicine, and bandaging, all added up to less than half an hour.
Li Mu cut out the rotten flesh that could be cut out with one knife seven or eight times. The whole process was like embroidering a flower, the main feature of which was to take your time and do a good job.
By the time he had bandaged the wounded, nearly two hours had passed. During this period, the wounded woke up four or five times, but Qiao Sheng knocked him out again with a handful of knockout drugs before he could make a sound or scream.
Butler Bai had been sitting on a chair beside them, crossing his legs and drinking tea. He did not interfere with their treatment methods at all. Only after they finished the treatment did he call in the old doctor who had been waiting outside the flower hall.
