Chapter 793: This medicine must not be taken orally!

Three hours later, news of the outdoor medical consultation had spread to the surrounding factories. Many of the workers were allowed to take time off to go over to seek treatment.

When some of the factory managers heard Elder Wang Jing had come to town, they even took the initiative to pay him a visit. This alone was enough to show just how respected Wang Jing was in the Wang Consortium.

While they were taking a break at noon during lunch, Wang Jing went to check on several of the patients who had stayed behind for observation.

With a patient’s agreement, he scraped the black medicine off his wound. Wang Jing was stunned. He saw that the wound, which used to be in quite bad shape, had scabbed over. This meant it was already in a state of healing.

Several of the doctors who had come along asked puzzledly, “How did the wound heal so quickly? Could it have started healing before the patient received treatment?”

“That can’t be.” Liang Ce said with certainty nearby, “I saw his wound earlier. It was so seriously inflamed at the time that it couldn’t have coalesced.”

Wang Jing spun around and looked at Ren Xiaosu. Where did this young man hail from? Could he really have been recommended by Cao Qingju because he had some kind of unique talent?

Come to think of it, why would a highly respected authority in the medical field like Cao Qingju suddenly want to engage in nepotism and ruin his reputation?

Thinking of this, Wang Jing heaved a sigh of relief.

He went to check on the other patients as well and it was pretty much the same for them. Their wounds had already started healing three hours after the medicine was applied. The medicine was way too miraculous!

At this moment, one of the doctors said, “I think it might be because this medicine is more effective. It seems that someone in the Southwest managed to gather some rather miraculous herbs that had mutated. It can… ahem, make men perform better.”

“Haha, there’s even something like that? Why hasn’t it spread to our Central Plains yet?”

“Haha, whatever. With this medicine, a lot of physical trauma cases can be handled easily. I wonder what this medicine is made with.”

At first, the wounded refugees were quite uneasy about what was going on. But when they heard that, everyone cheered up. “Then can we leave now?”

“Yes,” Wang Jing said with a smile, “go back and recuperate. Remember not to let your wounds get wet and don’t eat any spicy food.”

After that, Wang Jing looked at one of the wounded patients running off to thank Ren Xiaosu again.

Wang Jing realized that whenever a patient thanked Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu would have a blissful smile on his face. This really reminded Wang Jing of how he looked when he was younger.

Every time he treated a patient back then, he would feel a sense of accomplishment. Whenever a patient thanked him, Wang Jing would feel so happy that he could down three bowls of rice.

Wang Jing felt this was a quality good doctors should possess!

Initially, Wang Jing did not really like Ren Xiaosu. But now, he realized Cao Qingju’s discerning eye had found him a treasure instead.

Wang Jing suddenly had the thought of taking Ren Xiaosu in as his protégé. But on second thought, he suspected Cao Qingju might have already taken the young man under his wing. So he realized he could not be too rash.

While pondering, Wang Jing walked up to Ren Xiaosu to chat with him. When he got closer, he saw Ren Xiaosu beaming with joy in a daze and reciting, “A grateful heart, thankful to you…”

When he heard that, Wang Jing’s admiration for Ren Xiaosu grew even bigger!

But Wang Jing was unaware that Ren Xiaosu was taking stock of his gratitude tokens.

At first, Ren Xiaosu did not want to use the black medicine on the refugees because he felt he stood to lose. But he did not feel that way anymore. He would receive at least two gratitude tokens for treating one patient. Where else could he find as good a deal as that?

In just one morning, Ren Xiaosu’s gratitude tokens increased from around 400 to more than 1,100!

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt that Wang Shengzhi’s arrangement for him was simply too good. He should totally follow this medical exchange group to the Kong Consortium!

To think he had blamed Wang Shengzhi earlier!

“Young man, may I ask what medicine you applied on their wounds?” Wang Jing asked.

Ren Xiaosu came back to his senses. “Oh, it’s my secret ancestral remedy!”

“Can I have a look at it?” Wang Jing asked.

“Sure.” Ren Xiaosu took out the black medicine and handed it to Wang Jing. “But only a look.”

When Wang Jing was handed the black medicine, he took a look and a sniff. Then he even scraped some off with his pinky, wanting to have a taste of it.

But before Wang Jing could put the black medicine into his mouth, Ren Xiaosu quickly stopped him. “Elder, this medicine must not be taken orally!”

Wang Jing was starting to find Ren Xiaosu really likeable. He smiled and said, “Why not? Are you afraid I’ll find out what your medicine is made with?”

“Ahem, no, it really must not be taken orally,” Ren Xiaosu said in a serious tone. Honestly, he was really worried that Wang Jing, who was already so old, would not be able to bear the effects of the black medicine.

Wang Jing shook his head and laughed. “Don’t worry, I’m not after your prescription.”

During the conversation, the stronghold gate opened, and people from the Wang Consortium actually delivered boxed lunches out to them from the stronghold. It seemed that someone inside was aware that Wang Jing would be holding a consultation in the refugee town, so they prepared the meals in advance.

Ren Xiaosu was holding his boxed lunch when the young man named Liang Ce suddenly came over. “Bro, that medicine of yours is magic.”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Liang Ce strangely. Why had he become so enthusiastic all of a sudden?

Then he heard Liang Ce say, “Can I also come and help you later in the afternoon?”

As he said that, Liang Ce’s gaze drifted over to Meng Nan at the same time. Meng Nan was eating her boxed lunch grumpily. She looked to be keeping her distance from everyone.

“Oh!” Ren Xiaosu immediately got the hint. Since Liang Ce was so enthusiastic, and Ren Xiaosu was still overjoyed by the gratitude tokens he had received, how could he refuse? “You wish to work with Ms. Meng Nan, right? No problem.”

Liang Ce blushed. “You can tell?”

“Only an idiot couldn’t tell. But why don’t you just go and talk with her directly? She’s not doing anything right now anyways,” Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.

“She’s a little sick today, so she’s quite moody,” Liang Ce said bitterly.

Ren Xiaosu immediately realized what he was talking about again. So it turned out that even medical students could not solve the ancient problem of Aunt Flo visiting!

However, Ren Xiaosu considered himself somewhat experienced in dealing with such matters. “When a girl’s Aunt Flo visits and causes her discomfort, just ask her how could she possibly have a tummy when she’s so slim. I guarantee that she’ll be pleased!”

Liang Ce’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yes.” Ren Xiaosu continued eating his lunch.

Liang Ce hesitated for quite a while before walking over to Meng Nan and asking, “Nannan, you don’t feel well?”

Based on Liang Ce’s prediction, Meng Nan would probably say she was experiencing cramps or something. Then he would just have to read off the script!

However, Meng Nan looked up at Liang Ce and said calmly, “Mhm, I have a slight headache.”

Liang Ce was stunned. This answer was different from what he had expected! In that case, how should he respond?

The young man thought for a couple seconds before saying, “You’re so slim, how can you possibly have a brain!”

Meng Nan was flabbergasted.

Ren Xiaosu, who was eating his lunch, spat rice all over the ground!
