“医馆在哪?”
王小海在克莱城大街上行走,夜色已近,路灯开始发出朦胧的光,街道两旁的建筑都是三层楼式独幢别墅,带着个小院子。
“要走过这条街,到前面的贫民区,再继续往左走就看到了,很好认的,门前有棵大槐树,门上挂着一块牌匾,写着平民医馆。”夏娜说道。
“你很了解的样子,以你大小姐的身份,应该不会经常去这里玩。”王小海有点好奇地问道。
"I'm the eldest daughter of a certain place. I've lived in the Clay slums with my nanny since I was a child. I was taken to live in Claw Manor when I was fifteen," Shana said.
"Oh, it seems your life has been quite difficult," Wang Xiaohai said. "No wonder you're so naughty. If you had lived in an aristocratic family since childhood, you would definitely be dignified, gentle, and well-behaved."
"Really? Then she wouldn't be human anymore, just a puppet, without her own nature." Shana said, "If her father were to marry her off to an old man, she would definitely sit alone on the windowsill, quietly wiping away her tears, instead of bravely resisting. And then she would be sent to be electrocuted by Yang Jiaoshou."
At the seaside training center, Shana learned to lie, to disguise herself, and to hate! In other words, the so-called training only turns people into demons, not teaches them well.
"You have to learn to forget," said Wang Xiaohai.
"What?" Shana was a little confused.
"Learn to let go of sadness and hatred," Wang Xiaohai said. "Life isn't always smooth sailing. There will always be setbacks and difficulties. If you can't let go, you'll always be filled with sadness, blaming everyone and everything. When you interact with people, you'll just complain. Then you'll find that you'll have fewer and fewer friends, and life will become increasingly difficult, like a snowball."
"Why is this happening?" Shana still didn't understand.
"Because people like to stay in places that make them happy, and how can a pessimistic person make them happy?" Wang Xiaohai said, "Once or twice it's okay, you can sympathize with each other and ease the emotional burden, but too much of it will become annoying. Of course, this does not apply to those who are born to abuse others."
As the two were talking, they had already arrived at the civilian clinic in Clay City. The broken wooden door in front of the clinic was half-open, and light shone through the gap, obviously there was someone inside the clinic.
Wang Xiaohai knocked on the door.
"Come in." A deep male voice came, and you could tell from his voice that he was in good health.
Wang Xiaohai carried Shana on his back and pushed the door open.
The room in front of me was covered with white-painted walls. Although it was called a clinic, it was just a tiled house of more than 100 square meters. There was a screen for changing clothes, three lockers and three white beds in the room. A doctor in a white coat and a stethoscope was treating a patient.
"Dr. Renault, has my nanny been to your clinic recently?" Shana asked as soon as she came in.
When Renault heard Shana's question, his hands trembled and the stethoscope fell down and dangled in front of his neck.
"Oh, it's Shana!" Renault grabbed the shaking stethoscope and pulled over a chair. "What do you want to see me about?"
"Her foot is injured. I brought her here for treatment." Wang Xiaohai carried Shana on his back and placed her on a chair.
"Wait a few minutes. I'll help Shana after I finish preparing the medicine for this patient." Renault said as he quickly wrote down the prescription on paper with a feather pen, turned around, opened the wall cabinet, and carefully looked for the medicine.
"One tablet a day, three times a day." Renault handed the medicine to the patient in front of him. "This bottle is in a small bottle, twice a day. It's written on the paper, please pay attention."
The patient took the medicine and medical form, thanked the doctor, paid the consultation fee and medicine fee, and left the civilian clinic.
"Shana, have you been waiting long?" Renault said as he squatted down to help Shana take off her shoes and socks and began to examine her. "It's a little swollen! You won't be able to walk for the next few days. I'll spray some painkillers and apply some ointment, then prescribe some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine for you to take internally. Then apply some ice. The swelling will go down faster."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Shana said, "Where's my wet nurse? I haven't seen her for almost two years. Ever since she was brought into the Crow family, she's been locked up in the manor studying all day and hasn't had a chance to go out."
"Your wet nurse has gone out of town with her son." Renault lowered his head and quickly bandaged Shana.
"Really? You didn't go with her?" Shana said, looking at her feet wrapped like a mummy. "Don't apply ice to me. It's too cold and I don't like it."
"Okay, whatever you say." Renault didn't answer Shana's question, but turned around to help Shana get the internal medicine.
Renault put the medicine Shana needed on the bedside table, then carried Shana to the bed.
"You can rest up there for the next few days. Remember to cover yourself with the quilt at night. I'll bring you meals at mealtime," Renault said.
"You haven't answered me yet?" Shana asked stubbornly.
"It's dark now, let's talk about it tomorrow." Renault said hesitantly.
"Then Shana, you can rest in the clinic with peace of mind. I'm leaving first." Wang Xiaohai comforted Shana softly, then stood up and walked to Renault. "How much is the medical bill? I'll pay it for you."
"No need!" Renault waved his hand, "Nanny Shana and I are friends."
In fact, the two were not only friends, but also had feelings for each other. Nanny Shana felt that she was a widow with a child, and she felt that she was not worthy of Renault, so she did not dare to confess to him first; and Renault was naturally dull and had low emotional intelligence, and was not good at expressing his feelings. The girls who had had a crush on him all got married because of his character. In the end, he could only stay single until he was forty years old. In fact, he liked Nanny Shana, and did not mind that she had a child, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
"Friends are friends. Nothing is free in business." Wang Xiaohai threw a hundred taels of gold to Renault. This was what he got from Sun Chunbai. It was worth a total of 6 billion taels of silver. He hid it in a storage ring. Although these useless "muds" could not buy good things, such as the Holy Spring, they could allow him to easily blend in with human society. Otherwise, it would not be good to rob everything. Money still needs to be spent.
"Here!" Renault took it and almost dropped it, it was a bit heavy. "It's too much. If you really want to give it, one or two ounces of silver will be enough!"
"It's okay. I have plenty of money. This reward is for you. Don't you still need to buy food for Shana next? Just buy some good ones. This soil, um, this gold and silver are of no use to me." Wang Xiaohai waved his hand generously, indicating that he didn't want it.
"It's too much. I can't even spend this much on food! I've been running my clinic for more than ten years, but I can't make that much money," said Renault.
"No, it's useless even if you give it to me. I don't need this one hundred taels of gold." Wang Xiaohai said, "Don't be polite with me. If you don't want it, keep the rest as Shana's dowry."
Renault accepted it only after hearing what Wang Xiaohai said.
"No, I don't want to get married. Are you leaving?" Shana said, "Take me with you. I don't want to stay in the hospital bed. Can you take me to see the scenery?"
"No, you can't move." Wang Xiaohai said.
"If you leave me, I don't want this leg anymore. I'll keep my word and make sure you save people for nothing." Shana threatened, "I'm sick tonight, so you stay by my bedside for one last night. If you want to leave tomorrow, I won't stop you, okay?"
