As expected, the war between Li and Buli was separated by too much time, and medical technology had become rusty.
If it were me back then, I could have sent the wounded back to the battlefield!
Spall thought to himself and sighed softly.
"While ordinary acupuncturists can alleviate symptoms, it is truly unbelievable that they can make someone healthy without relying on medication."
On March 7th, she rested her chin on her hands and pouted her lips.
"That's normal! In the Immortal Ship and the Sea Patrol Knights, acupuncture is a medical technique used by knights-errant. The effects are drastically different for those with strong internal energy and those with weak internal energy."
Spare replied, stretching vigorously.
"Does 'internal strength' refer to the power of destiny?"
"Yes. But we can only use the power of the Hunting Fate Path."
Spah nodded, lifted the patient, put him back on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and told him to get some rest.
After finishing all that, he took out a bag of Doritos, crunched away, and started chewing, saying as he ate:
"Among my acquaintances, General Feixiao is better than me in acupuncture skills. She can even go to the battlefield with gold needles inserted while fighting with the Fengrao people. She's incredibly fierce!"
"That must be a girl with muscles shaped like chestnuts, right?"
"That's definitely a compliment for her."
"Haha! Is that so?"
March 7th raised the corners of her lips.
Spah grinned and exchanged a smile with March 7.
Saving a life...that's so comforting.
Spare thought to himself, looking up at the ceiling.
Wow!
Just then, the curtain was drawn back.
Spah turned his head and saw Natasha come out.
Spa chuckled and went to greet him, only to see that the other person's face was deathly pale, with hardly any color in his skin.
Not long after, Natasha walked up to Spa, her legs went weak, and she fell forward.
Spall reached out his arm and helped Natasha up.
Chapter 81 A Little Hook is Born
"The patient's condition?"
Hill asked instinctively. But after glancing at Natasha's expression, she already knew the answer and didn't ask any further.
Everyone fell silent.
For a full minute, no one spoke.
It wasn't until the coughing started that Natasha came to her senses, climbed out of Spa's arms, and regained color in her previously pale face.
"There are still patients waiting for me to take care of them."
Natasha murmured, a smile playing on her lips, and walked toward the nearest hospital bed.
Spall also came to his senses, moved closer to the person who was the most seriously ill, grabbed the other person's wrist, and placed his fingertips on the pulse.
"The pulse is weak, but there is still hope."
Spah muttered to himself, not daring to be negligent, and pinched the gold needles, inserting them one by one into the patient's channels.
The two were busy, not daring to stop for a moment.
Hill stared blankly, unsure how to intervene.
! ……
The clinic door was knocked on repeatedly.
Hill could hear the anxiety in the voice of the person outside.
She didn't dare to delay, so she ran to the door with small steps, grabbed the handle with her wrist, and turned it gently.
Click!
The door was open, and a woman with a sallow complexion carried a man who looked even more haggard than herself as she entered.
"Please help! My husband has been coughing nonstop since we came back from the mine yesterday, and he couldn't hold on any longer this morning..."
The woman sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
Hill sighed slightly, helped the man up, and took him to the clinic.
However, she had just settled the male patient in and looked out the door when she saw even more patients lined up behind him.
"..."
Hill shook his head and opened the door.
This is a huge problem.
As the weather gets colder and toxic substances are found in the mining areas, the residents' disease rates are soaring.
Unfortunately, the clinic didn't have enough medication.
Hill bit her lip.
She was never one to dawdle, and after a moment's thought, she walked over to Natasha and exclaimed:
"No matter what, I'm going to Rivet Town today!"
"Don't rush to find the medicine."
Natasha ignored Hill, and simply picked up a damp towel and placed it on the patient's forehead.
She pressed her lips together, and only after seeing the patient's breathing gradually calm down did she turn her head and gaze into Hill's violet eyes:
“I won’t allow you to go alone. Tonight, I will accompany you to Rivet Town to find medicine.”
"The number of patients is increasing. If you keep dragging your feet, it will delay things... I can handle those lytic organisms by myself!"
"No means no!"
The two were about to start arguing.
"If you're going to the Rivet Town Orphanage, I can come with you!"
Spall's voice rang out. Both Natasha and Hill's eyes lit up.
"We shouldn't let outsiders take risks."
Natasha said.
"It doesn't matter, I have something to investigate in town anyway."
Spah grinned, removed the gold needles from the patient's body, and jumped up from the bed in a flash.
He thought to himself: That crying-faced fool left me a clue about [Rivettown, Orphanage].
Although I don't really want to go, I can take this opportunity to help someone and go check it out.
Spall looked at Natasha with a resolute gaze.
"I'm going too!"
"As a guard, protecting the lives of the people is also my responsibility!"
March 7th and Pera raised their hands one after another and jumped out.
"Oh dear! I can't accept this!"
Natasha tried to deflect, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, and her eyes narrowed into slits.
"It's a coincidence that the medicine was hidden in the orphanage."
Natasha pursed her lips, trying to keep her smile from becoming too unrestrained: "Hill knows about the orphanage, as long as she leads the team..."
Ouch!
A loud bang came from the clinic door.
Spa looked toward the door and saw a man run in.
The man was dressed in combat gear, with a ruddy complexion and sweat dripping from his forehead; he didn't look like someone who had come for a medical consultation at all.
However, Spah noticed that the man was standing with his hands on his hips, panting heavily, and his muscular thighs were trembling from the effort of traveling.
"Sister Hill! Something terrible has happened!"
The man, holding the door open with one hand, shouted loudly.
"Stop making such a fuss! Get to the point!"
Spall caught a glimpse of Hill with one hand on her hip, her brow furrowed, revealing a hint of impatience.
"It's in complete chaos outside. Conflicts are erupting all over Rocky Town. Brother Luca and the others can't hold on any longer..."
"Honestly, Luca is so useless..."
Hill shook his head and put one hand to his forehead.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the sickle and rushed out of the clinic.
However, just as Hill stepped out the door, he remembered something, turned around, faced the people in the room, and gave a slight bow:
"I'm sorry! It's an emergency, and I have to go and take charge. I'll leave the matter of finding the medicine to you."
After saying that, without waiting for a reply, she grabbed the man by the collar, took off running, and hurriedly left the clinic.
"..."
A long silence fell over the clinic.
"Huh? It seems like none of us know the location of the orphanage?" March 7 blinked and whispered.
"Um... um... I don't know where the orphanage is."
Spa heard a soft yet clear voice.
He tried to find the owner of the voice, but after looking around the clinic, he couldn't find who had spoken.
"Here it is! Here it is! So what if you're tall!"
The speaker got impatient.
It was only then that Spah came to his senses, looked down, and saw a small hand raised high, just reaching his waist.
"Oh dear! Hook's sister wants to help!"
Spah curled his lips into a smile and squatted down.
He saw Hook puff out his cheeks and found it amusing, so he took out a chocolate and gave it to him.
"Aww!"
Hook swallowed it whole.
The next second she froze, her big eyes blinking as she stared at Spa, her body stiff and motionless.
"It's so delicious! Spago, you're like my own brother!"
Hook jumped up.
"Don't cause trouble, Hook! We're talking about important things!"
Natasha reached out and grabbed Hook.
"No! Hook didn't cause any trouble! Hook knows where the orphanage is, and Hook is here to help!"
Hook shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle-drum.
"No! The rivet is in the rift, it's very dangerous!"
Natasha's brow furrowed even more deeply.
"Hooke's hole-punching machine is also dangerous!"
The little girl put her hands on her hips.
