Living captives can be exchanged for 5 silver coins.
Dead ones are only worth 5 copper coins.
The four men tied up the boy and threw him and the dead reindeer on a cart hidden in the corner and dragged them back to the base.
"Blue clothes! Are you from the shelter?!"
No one paid any attention to him.
The boy looked terrified, watching the concrete wall pass over his head and being sent to the granary.
The cart stopped.
Fang Chang and Lao Bai lifted the reindeer together and threw it on the table in front of Brother Chaodan.
"Brother, pay me."
"12 silver coins."
He counted out the coins and slapped them on the table. Brother Chaodan pulled out the machete left on the table and began to chop the meat in large pieces.
The dull sound of the blade hitting the board seemed to chop into his heart, and the boy was frightened.
I have never heard of the blue coat eating people!
"Master Administrator? You came just in time. We were planning to bring him to you!"
"Where did you get him from?"
"I met him while hunting. This guy shot me with an arrow, but missed."
"I know."
Counting out five silver coins from his pocket and handing them to Fang Chang, Chu Guang motioned him to untie the captives on the cart.
Although Fang Chang felt that it was not safe to do so, he was not very worried after seeing the administrator's fighting ability, and walked towards the direction of the cart with Kuangfeng.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the boy struggled more fiercely, but when he saw the man following the two of them clearly, he was stunned.
"Chu Guang?"
The name is the pronunciation of this world.
"Yes, it's me."
Chu Guang smiled and reached out to pull him.
"Sorry for the offense."
The person who was taken prisoner by Fang Chang and his men was none other than Yu Hu, the second son of the Yu family who lived across from him on Beth Street.
Yu Hu moved his wrist, which was red from being strangled, and nervously glanced at the blue coats surrounding him, and asked in a low voice.
"Are they all your people?"
It's been a long time since we last met.
He thought this stranger had died outside, but he didn't expect to meet him here again. Yesterday he was still persuading his sister not to guard the shack for that stranger. The door was covered with dust...
"They are my companions."
"What are they doing here?"
"Watching the plot."
"Juqing? What is that?"
"It doesn't matter. Just ignore them. By the way, why are you here? Where are your father and elder brother?"
Chu Guang remembered that they always acted in groups whether they were scavenging or hunting.
Yu Hu's expression dimmed and he said in a low voice.
"My father was shot in the arm by a predator's gun while hunting a few days ago. My eldest brother was bitten on the leg by a hyena raised by the predator in order to save my father. After escaping, my father survived, but my eldest brother's leg wound was infected. He has a high fever and has been bedridden... Winter is coming soon, and I don't know if he can survive it."
Hyenas, vultures and jackals, the three musketeers of speculation in the wasteland, do not restrain their food choices.
Especially the most common hyenas in Qingquan City, when they can't find prey, they often eat carrion, and when they are extremely hungry, they even bite the gnawers, so their fangs are usually full of bacteria.
If you are bitten by a mutant hyena, it is easy to get infected if the wound is not treated in time, and it may even threaten your life in severe cases.
After listening to Yu Hu's words, Chu Guang frowned.
The Yu family treated him well, although they didn't treat him particularly well, but their youngest daughter always looked after his house and stopped the Wang family from stealing his house.
"Bring your elder brother to me, maybe I can cure him."
Yu Hu was stunned.
"Really?!"
Chu Guang nodded.
"Well, just bring him here."
Yu Hu was touched and suddenly lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, you're so nice. We were always worried that you were a bad guy before."
Chu Guang said tolerantly.
"It's okay. It's human nature to be vigilant."
He wasn't a good person to begin with.
"Well, there's something... I have to apologize to you."
"What's it?"
Yu Hu blushed and hesitated for a long time, scratching the back of his head and said.
"You planted the yam by the door before... I saw that it hadn't sprouted, so I dug it up and ate it."
"..."
Damn it.
It turned out that you dug it up!
Forget it.
It's just a potato, not a big deal.
Chu Wu Yu said: "It's okay, I guess there's something wrong with the planting method."
Yu Hu nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, you really can't grow anything if you plant it that way! After I dug it out, I saw that two pieces were rotten. If you want to plant yam, it's not enough to just cut it into pieces. You have to germinate it first, at least two buds on a piece, and then smear the cut with wood ash and plant it. It will be mature in one or two months!"
Chu Guang looked at him in surprise: "You can plant it?"
The boy smiled honestly and touched the back of his head.
"It's nothing, everyone knows a little bit. But usually mother, sister-in-law and Xiaoyu plant it at the door of the house. Planting it outside basically won't survive. It will either be dug up by people or eaten by mice."
Chu Guangle said: "Okay, wait until the beginning of next spring, I will find something for you to do. Let's not talk about this for now, go back and carry your brother here."
Hearing Chu Guang say this, the boy remembered that his elder brother was still lying in bed, and nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'll go now."
...
The straight-line distance between the wetland park and Beth Street is about three kilometers. After leaving the park, there are patches of concrete ruins and green plants scattered among the ruins. If you want to avoid the more dangerous areas, you have to go at least two kilometers.
However, Yu Hu ran here with his elder brother on his back in less than two hours.
Chu Guang asked Teng Teng to bring a piece of fur and put it on the wooden table, and asked Yu Hu to put his elder brother Yu Xiong on it.
This strong man was dying at this moment, his face was pale.
The scavengers on Bet Street had a single diet, and most of them were malnourished. In addition, there was a lack of effective medical conditions. If they did not get sick, it would be fine. If they did, they could not bear it, and most of them would die in the end.
Chu Guang took a simple look at his wound, and preliminarily judged that it was a bacterial infection based on the color of the suppuration on the wound surface, so he took a pill of antibiotics drawn last time, and then gave him a simple treatment for his wound.
"Is it okay to use wood ash?" Yu Hu asked nervously.
"It depends on the situation. High-temperature calcined wood ash is fine."
This thing is composed of potassium salt and contains alkalinity. The bactericidal effect is still good. The Baicao Shuang in "Compendium of Materia Medica" is talking about this thing.
Although the effect is a little worse than alcohol, it is also a good substitute when there is no high-purity alcohol, especially in the wild.
Of course, here we are referring to the ash from high-temperature calcination.
If you just pick it up from under the stove, it will be a big problem. Who knows if there is tetanus bacillus in it? If you smear it with ash, it may kill people.
About five minutes later.
Yu Xiong's complexion has obviously improved a lot, his frowning eyebrows have relaxed, and the sweating has stopped.
Chu Guang silently memorized it.
It is worthy of being a pre-war technology. The efficacy of this antibiotic is indeed good.
Yu Hu next to him was not so reserved. Seeing that his elder brother's condition had improved, he immediately rushed over excitedly and held his elder brother's hand with tears in his eyes.
"Brother! How do you feel now?"
"Xiao Hu? Where is this..." Yu Xiong, who woke up in a daze, paused after noticing Chu Guang standing next to him, and a look of surprise appeared on his weak face.
"...Chu Guang?"
"It's me."
"You're not..."
"Still alive, but probably won't go back."
Yu Xiong was stunned for a moment, looking at the blue coats around him, and he probably understood the situation, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Congratulations, it seems you have found your companions."
"Well, I found them recently," Chu Guang said with a faint smile, "Thank you for your care before."
"Don't say that, we didn't care about it, but I let you save my life... That capsule should be very expensive." The burly man looked embarrassed.
These pills that feel like plastic are good things that can only be found in Boulder City. He had only heard of them before, but had never seen them.
I think even in Boulder City, not everyone can afford them.
"Don't worry, it's just a small favor. I'll give you another one later. If you feel feverish, take it. If you don't feel feverish, don't take it. Save it for saving your life in the future."
Chu Guang will remember the kindness of others to him, even if it's just a piece of cake.
Besides, the pills are expensive to them, but to Chu Guang, they are just a reward for drawing a blind box.
When he heard that Chu Guang was going to give him medicine, Yu Xiong shook his head and said.
"How can that be possible! You saved my life, how can I accept such a valuable thing."
Chu Guang didn't waste any more time talking to him, and stuffed the aluminum foil cut into small pieces into his brother's hands.
"You keep it for your brother, or he will die of infection on the way back when I finally saved him."
Yu Hu hesitated, but after taking a look at the wound on his elder brother's leg, he finally nodded.
"Thank you... I will repay you! When I carry my elder brother back, I will come to work for you every day!"
"No need, you are the backbone of your family now, and you are the only one who can hunt. What will your family eat if you work for me? If you really want to repay me, just get through this hurdle first, and talk about other things in the spring next year."
Seeing that Chu Guang said so, the two did not refuse, but their eyes were full of gratitude, saying that they would definitely repay him after this winter.
Old Bai, who was watching the plot on the side, pulled Fang Chang and asked in a low voice that the manager could not hear.
"What are they talking about?"
Fang Chang pinched his chin and thought.
"I don't understand, but I guessed it roughly."
Ye Shi encouraged from the side.
"Tell me about it, it's probably okay."
"Okay, then I'll tell you briefly, it may not be correct... The native boy went out hunting to treat his family's illness, and was captured by us. The manager recognized him and asked him to bring his seriously ill family members and healed them with the medicine in the shelter. Then the natives were very moved and said that we are their friends. They will probably establish diplomatic relations with us next."
Old Bai was stunned.
"How to establish diplomatic relations?"
Before Fang Chang spoke, Ye Shi patted him on the shoulder and said with a grin.
"Are you stupid? How do the natives establish diplomatic relations? Of course it's through marriage! The chief marries his daughter or something, that's an old routine."
"Damn? Wouldn't our manager sacrifice too much?!"
Kuangfeng coughed lightly.
"Don't listen to Ye Shi's nonsense. Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, I still prefer him and the weapon shop owner's wife as a CP."
Fang Chang nodded.
"I can always reach a consensus with Kuangfeng. You two should reflect on why your brain waves are always on a different channel from normal people."
Teng Teng's eyes sparkled and she whispered excitedly.
"Why must the CP be the owner's wife? Can't it be a grateful boy?"
"Damn! Something's wrong with you!"
"Is this game serious? Is it serious?"
"..."
Chu Guang couldn't listen any more and walked away pretending not to hear.
Speaking of which...
The income of tailors in the current version seems a bit high?
It's better to balance it in the next version.
