Every formed gang will have its own specialized doctor. These doctors help gang members with types of injuries that are not easily treated in hospitals. Moreover, a gang may have as few as twenty or thirty people, but as many as one or two hundred, and there are always some who catch colds and fevers every now and then. Preparing a doctor is almost the standard for a gang to "form".

Colds and fevers are the most common illnesses in Turner City. The poor cannot afford high-quality filtered water from tap water plants and can only use well water for daily hydration. Well water is said to be clean, but it is not very dirty. It's not clean, but it's a little dirty. And not everyone boils the water before drinking it, especially some younger guys who directly point their mouths at the faucet of the well water pump, and the people behind them shake it and open their mouths to drink.

Therefore, problems such as fever and colds are all too common.

Under the treatment of a private doctor, all the wounds on Wood's body have been sutured. Fortunately, he was completely unconscious when he was lying on the bed and could not feel any pain. Otherwise, there is really no telling how long it would take to suture all the wounds. stand up.

It is not that there are no narcotics in Turner City, but the side effects of narcotics are very serious. The main ingredient of narcotics comes from a mushroom that can cause hallucinations. This kind of mushroom was once everywhere, and many people suffered from some terrible symptoms after eating it by mistake. When this mushroom matures, a vague human face will form on the umbrella-shaped surface of the mushroom, so people call it the grimace mushroom.

The powerful Knight Commander of the Tribunal in the Holy Church once said that this "Ghost Face Mushroom" is the seed of the devil scattered in the world. After using it, you will gradually lose your mind and fall into the embrace of the devil. In addition, the use of the Grimace Mushroom will indeed cause certain losses. Under the dual requirements of the divine power and the empire, the entire Yaoxing Empire began a mighty "Destroy the Devil" operation. People uprooted the Grimace Mushrooms and threw them into fires to burn. After the amendments to the Divine Power and Imperial Law, there were the same provisions - individuals were prohibited from cultivating, eating, and selling Grimace Mushrooms, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The Grimace Mushroom that was once everywhere seems to have disappeared, but that is not the case. The Imperial Academy of Sciences has never stopped researching the Grimace Mushroom. Through experiments, it was discovered that in addition to mild hallucinations when a small amount of the ingredient is ingested, it also has a very special effect, which is to "avoid pain." . To put it simply, there is a special substance that blocks the transmission of pain signals between neurons. Even if a bone is broken, it will not cause any pain.

This discovery completely changed the "vertigo treatment method". Anesthetics cultivated and manufactured by the government began to be tried on a limited basis in major hospitals in the empire. The effect was very good, even if the patient's stomach was opened and the lesions were removed The organs are then re-sutured so that the patients can remain awake throughout the procedure and do not feel any discomfort.

Of course, the use of anesthetics is also very strict and requires application and submission by a metrologist and the surgeon who presides over the operation, and then review and approval by members of the "Sensitive Materials Committee" before they can be used. This process does not take much time and can be completed in about thirty minutes.

Just like all houses built to protect against wind and rain, there will always be air leaks. Sometimes anesthetics that have a strict approval process will leak out. For example, there are two hidden here in Gedol. These two are used in emergency situations. Obviously, Wood's injury is not one of them.

When Godol woke Wood up, his first reaction was that his whole body tensed up and his face suddenly turned pale as paper. The severe pain gave him the urge to grab the ground with his head and knock himself unconscious. After the severe pain lasted for a while, his tightly clenched teeth relaxed a little.

It's not that the pain has lessened or disappeared, but that he has gradually become accustomed to it.

"How could it be like this?" Godol stood leaning against the wall, playing with the latest windproof lighter from Ordo in his hand, looking like he was watching a joke.

Wood sat up from the bed. He endured severe pain throughout the process, but he felt that these physical pains were far less crazy than the pain in his heart. His eyebrows almost stood up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of that guy Du Lin. I underestimated him too much. Maybe his target was me from the beginning..." After saying a word, he twitched. With a breath of cold air, the wound tightly strangled by the silk thread deformed as he sat up, and blood immediately overflowed from the wound.

At the same time, it also brought him a new wave of more painful pain.

After taking a few breaths, his mood stabilized a little, and he continued: "I want that guy to die in front of me, kill him in the most cruel way, I don't ask about the process, you set a price!", Wood He was very wise and did not use friendship and friendship as a bargaining chip to ask Godol to help him. He also understood that the more ambitious a person is, the more independent and clear his attitude towards public and private affairs will be.

This is not a private matter, so he will not use that excuse and just use gold and yuan to clear the way. This is the most useful thing, bar none.

Gedol smiled and asked, "How much do you think Dulin is worth?"

Wood gave Gedol a difficult problem, and Gedol also gave Wood a difficult problem.

This is a question that will never have an answer. If there is less to say, Godol may not be willing to help him, and he will not continue to help him because Wood raises the price. This was a matter of principle. Even without mentioning any friendship, Wood made a price, and Godol helped him. In the eyes of outsiders, money is not the key thing, but friendship is. Godol helped Wood because of his friendship with Wood.

But when he refused for the first time and then agreed after Wood raised the price, people would think that the reason why Godol helped Wood was not because he valued friendship. All he cared about was money, and he could change himself at any time for money. original intention and principles.

So this was a very difficult question to answer. Wood's whole body suddenly tensed up. After a moment, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice: "Ten... no, two hundred thousand!"

Two hundred thousand is not all of Wood's savings. He has earned millions in the past ten years. Some of it has been squandered by him, and some of it has been used to smoothen relationships. His deposits in the Imperial Central Bank still amount to just over 1.1 million.

The ending of spending 20% of the money to buy Dulin did make him feel a little distressed, but he knew that he had to do this. All the failures today have been imprinted on some people's minds, and they may have begun to hide in the darkness and sharpen their knives to stab him in the heart. Therefore, he must retaliate in an even crazier way and let those who are preparing to carve him up think carefully about whether they should risk breaking a tooth to chew on this bone.

Two hundred thousand is enough for Godol to devote all his energy to deal with this matter. What Wood needs now is time. In the shortest time, he can completely deal with Dulin, so that he can have a chance to continue to exist in some capacity. in this city. Otherwise, he is likely to take his money, and his family, to hell.

Gedol nodded with satisfaction, "Based on our friendship, I should help you. Just wait for my good news!"

Don't make wild guesses...
