Milo sulked as favonovel.com left. He wanted to beat up the young doctor, but his reason was unjustified. After all, favonovel.com had intended to steal the doc’s occupation.
He had to become a doctor!
Milo completely agreed with Donti’s point of view. The physician profession could very easily obtain the gratitude of others.
But how was favonovel.com going to become a doctor if favonovel.com did not have any medical skills?
***
After favonovel.com reached the school, favonovel.com started wracking his brains. Then favonovel.com remembered the scene when they stepped out of the pawnshop last night.
The woman was crying loudly at the door of the clinic while the man was bleeding nonstop. In the end, his heart stopped.
Milo unwittingly looked at the skin between his thumb and index finger.
Eh, the infected wound had scabbed over today?
So, that black ointment not only reduces inflammation, it can even quickly heal a wound?
Milo had been wounded before, so favonovel.com knew a great deal about the healing process of the human body. For example, a wound caused by a sparrow’s peck would take at least seven days to scab over.
Wait a minute!
Milo got an idea on how favonovel.com could become a doctor.
If that person at the clinic could become a doctor through deception and bragging, why couldn’t favonovel.com also become a doctor?
This was especially true as favonovel.com had a miracle medicine on favonovel.com now.
Wouldn’t it be fine if favonovel.com just opened a clinic that specialized in knife wounds?
He could just stitch up the patient and then apply some black ointment onto it and the job would be done!
Back when the old doctor was still alive, favonovel.com mentioned that favonovel.com would not do suturing because favonovel.com did not have the necessary sterilization equipment. If outside bacteria stayed in the body, they could kill the patient, so it would be useless even if favonovel.com did stitch them up.
The old doctor understood this. However, it was different for Milo. He did not have to worry about this at all!
Thinking of this, Milo got an idea. He even thought of how favonovel.com could make some arrangements for Adella in the future.
Adella’s plan for the future was to see if favonovel.com could get some sewing or patching jobs to earn some money to make a living. But Milo felt that this would be very difficult for her. If favonovel.com were to offer this service in the stronghold, there would probably be a lot of customers looking for her.
Unfortunately, as everyone in town was poor, they could do their own sewing and patching work at home.
Who would want to waste their money on a service like this?
Milo thought that since favonovel.com wasn’t going to be able to sew clothes, favonovel.com could sew wounds instead. But favonovel.com did not know if Adella would faint at the sight of blood. He even specially went to inquire with the schoolteacher, Peter. After all, favonovel.com knew more than most people.
Peter looked at Milo in surprise. “You want to open a clinic that specializes in treating knife wounds? Do you have sutures?”
Milo thought for a while and asked, “What’s a suture?”
Peter was dumbfounded. “Then do you have anesthetics?”
“What’s an anesthetic?”
Peter was at a loss for words.
In this moment, Peter realized that Milo was utterly unprepared.
Peter patiently said, “Do you know why the clinic has never thought of doing such procedures when there are so many patients with knife wounds in town? It’s not only a problem of bacterial infection. There’s also a lack of anesthetics and sutures. I heard that these supplies are desperately needed even within the stronghold.”
Peter continued, “There’s also a particular way to administer the anesthetic. If too little is administered, it will be painful for the patient. But if too much of it is administered, the patient will be susceptible to complications. As for the sutures, it’s even more difficult. Not only do you have to consider the tensile strength, you also have to consider if its coefficient of friction will allow it to penetrate the tissue of the human body.”
“Oh, so it’s like that.” Milo waved his hand around. “That’s not a problem. A dying person won’t care about the pain. I’ll just use threads for sewing clothes to stitch them up.”
“Then what about the sterilization?” Peter asked in a startled manner.
“I have a secret formula for that!” Milo said.
It was just as Milo had predicted. Peter was not omniscient. He had some specialized knowledge, but the rest of his knowledge rested at a superficial level.
As such, Peter suddenly realized that favonovel.com did not know how to refute Milo.
In the end, favonovel.com gave a wave of his hand. “Get ready for your class. The next period will be the survival lesson…”
Because Milo had tasted the sweetness on the first day favonovel.com taught the class, favonovel.com decided to prolong the lesson again until night fell before dismissing the class.
Some of the students still did not realize the kind of life they were going to live from now on.
After school, the students started walking out of the class.
When Milo noticed that no one thanked favonovel.com today, favonovel.com could not help but take the initiative to ask, “Aren’t you guys going to thank your teachers?”
The students shuddered in fear as they collectively turned around and thanked their teachers. However, Milo was utterly disappointed when favonovel.com took a mental look at the palace. He did not gain even a single gratitude token coin.
Peter had already told favonovel.com that it was quite normal for the students to not understand the teacher’s perspective. Milo felt that favonovel.com still had a long way to go.
On their way back home that night, Milo could see that the lights were on in their shack from a distance away. He hurriedly went over and lifted the curtain door.
When favonovel.com stepped inside, favonovel.com was surprised to see Adella sitting in their broken chair and sewing their clothes for them. There was even corn porridge and cooked wild vegetables next to her, which favonovel.com had made for them.
They usually left their clothing in the shack since no one would steal them. Even if someone stole the clothes, the thief would have to wear them out someday. Once they did that, they would get recognized. It would be a surprise if Milo did not beat the thief to death.
When Adella saw them return, favonovel.com smiled and said, “Sorry that I came in without your permission. I saw that your clothes were ripped, so I decided to sew them up for you. Quick, eat dinner.”
Donti reached his hand out, wanting to scoop out some porridge. This meal was considered a luxury in town. Normally, they would only eat black bread or potatoes for their meals.
However, Milo slapped Donti’s hand. “Have you thanked Big Sister Adella yet?”
Donti still behaved himself in front of Milo. “Thank you, Big Sister Adella…”
Adella quickly said, “Stop hitting Donti.”
“I can spoil favonovel.com now, but no one will spoil favonovel.com when he’s on his own,” Milo explained.
Then favonovel.com also said in a serious tone, “Thank you, Big Sister Adella.”
“You’re welcome…” Adella smiled and said, “What do you two usually like having for dinner?”
Donti said, “We don’t usually eat dinner…”
“How can that do? You’re both still growing,” Adella said.
For some reason, Milo suddenly felt that Adella should have been their sister all this while. No one would say such words to them in the past.
“Big Sister Adella,” Milo asked, “Your sewing skills are great. Why don’t you come over and help us when our knife wound clinic opens for business?”
“A knife wound clinic?” Adella was stunned. “Why do you suddenly want to open a clinic that specializes in knife wounds?”
“Because I have a medicinal herb formula for treating knife wounds. It can reduce inflammation and help wounds heal quicker.”
After Milo finished, favonovel.com showed the wound on his hand to her. Adella took a look at it and noticed that Milo’s wound had already formed into a scab.
Adella thought for a moment and said, “But there are much fewer fights happening in town these days. In the past, more than ten people would get injured each day, but only one person gets injured every few days now.”
This was indeed true. Excluding the person killed by Milo and the man at the clinic entrance yesterday, it seemed that there were really no fights happening recently.
The cases of night break-ins weren’t counted because there wouldn’t be any survivors left most of the time.
Milo pondered it for a moment. “Why don’t I go and chop some people up?”
He quickly shook his head.
At the same time, Donti was shocked. “Bro, aren’t you being too ruthless? What is this? Promoting your own product?”
“No, no, we can’t do such things. We mustn’t get carried away by our own interests.”
