She is too poor (v1c17)
Ever since she picked up Xiaodongxi and brought her home, Ye Sheng had regarded her as her responsibility, even though she was very poor.
She had decided to take care of her.
What's more, the poor little girl was also her golden finger, which was also good for Ye Sheng.
At least, the little hoe that had saved her life today was drawn from the blind box by the golden finger.
So the poor little girl was not a burden, but her lucky star.
Ye Sheng wanted Xiaodongxi to live well more than anyone else, even if it was just a little longer. But Xiaodongxi was now like a ragged doll, and she didn't know when she would fall apart.
Ye Sheng was worried about this, but she couldn't show it.
After all, sighing in front of Xiaodongxi would only stress her out. If Xiaodongxi suffered from physical problems due to excessive worrying, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
So Ye Sheng tried to divert her attention and think about how to fill her stomach.
Both she and Xiaodongxi had to live well.
There was hope only if they were alive.
Then, a 'miracle' happened!!!
Even though Old Lin had given a brief introduction to the primary repair fluid, Ye Sheng could guess its specific effects with her feet. Thinking about the horrific wounds on Xiaodongxi's body, it was almost as if she was dozing off and someone gave her a pillow.
But Old Lin had said that the primary repair fluid could only treat minor injuries. How minor was that?
Following the good habit of asking questions when she didn't understand something, Ye Sheng spoke quickly: "Old Lin, can the primary repair fluid treat comminuted fractures? It's the kind of serious injury where the bones are broken and shattered."
"Ah? Little Sheng, why are you asking this? Did you provoke an enemy?"
Ye Sheng was still too young.
Her inquiry was too detailed at this time, which immediately aroused Old Lin's suspicion.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and didn't avoid his eyes with guilt. Instead, she pretended to be shy again, raised her hand, and scratched her head in embarrassment,
"No, no, it's just... I heard little sister Linlin mention that their team encountered polluted creatures in the wilderness a few days ago, and one person's leg bone was shattered."
"The injured person is the breadwinner of the family. He has to support several people. How will he live in the future? So when I heard that there was a repair fluid, I wanted to ask carefully."
"If I get injured in the future, with timely treatment, I might be able to continue to live."
As she spoke, Ye Sheng's tone gradually became dull, and she became sad.
Ye Sheng's acting ability was top-notch, and it was not easy for anyone to spot any flaws.
This was because when they were children, they did bad things together. Every time they were discovered by an adult, they could blame it on their elder brother and get away with it.
Although he would blackmail them afterward, it was better than being punished severely by the adults.
For this reason, the elder brother often said that Ye Sheng should apply for Nortel and become a star actor in the future.
She was so good at acting.
Ye Sheng's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she thought of her family, and her heart was filled with sadness.
She and her elder brother had grown up laughing and joking together. Even if the two siblings fought, they would make up the next day. She hoped that after hearing the news that she was hit by a car, the elder brother would be good and honor their parents for her in the future.
"So that's it."
When he saw Ye Sheng's eyes were red, Old Lin also felt sorry. How could he argue with a little girl?
Ye Sheng was different from others. She was the only one left in her family, so she had to plan ahead.
She just wanted to live longer.
Old Lin felt a little guilty and didn't say anything else. He answered Ye Sheng's question seriously, "It can heal fractures, but not much else."
"Comminuted fractures vary in severity. If a few bones are broken, the primary repair fluid can barely heal them, but it will take a long time to recover. But if the bones are shattered like you said, it won't work at all."
Old Lin shook his head and said it was hopeless.
Then he explained the primary repair fluid in detail.
"Primary repair fluid can only heal minor injuries. For example, if the skin is cut and the bleeding won't stop, hemostatic medicine can be used for small wounds, but it won't be enough for large ones."
"Usually, if you get injured, you can stitch it up yourself with a needle and thread, but when you fight with polluted creatures, you don't have time to deal with serious wounds. That's when you need primary repair fluid."
"As long as you pour the primary repair fluid on the wound, it will heal it quickly. It's a bit painful, but it can save your life. It can also be taken orally to heal some minor internal injuries. It can keep you alive in critical moments."
The primary repair fluid was invaluable.
Even if someone was badly hurt and close to death, they might survive if they held on for a while.
Not to mention, it could heal severe wounds faster than hemostatic drugs.
But Ye Sheng had thought that Xiaodongxi could be saved, but now she heard that it could only heal the flesh wounds, not the broken bones.
The poor little girl still had to lie in bed, motionless.
Ye Sheng was depressed by the disappointment. Her brows were furrowed, her mouth was slightly drooped, and her cute face turned sad, almost like a bitter gourd. Old Lin couldn't help but laugh.
How childish!
But Old Lin didn't let Ye Sheng dwell on it. He quickly gave her some more information, "Although the primary repair fluid can't heal severe bone fractures, intermediate repair fluid can."
The advanced repair fluid was better, but it was scarce even in the safe zone.
Only the powerful people in the central area could have it.
So Old Lin didn't mention it, so as not to raise her hopes.
"The intermediate repair fluid has a better healing effect, and it can definitely heal serious bone fractures."
There was still a chance.
Ye Sheng's eyes brightened when she heard about the intermediate repair fluid. She stopped frowning and looked hopeful.
Besides, if there was a primary repair fluid, there had to be a more advanced one.
As long as she scavenged diligently in the wilderness, she could eventually get enough points to cure Xiaodongxi.
Ye Sheng felt a surge of energy as if she had been given a shot of adrenaline.
She thought about the severed tendons on Xiaodongxi's wrists and ankles and the ugly wounds on her neck. She thought it would be okay to buy a primary repair fluid and treat them first.
After all, Xiaodongxi was a girl, and who didn't want to look pretty?
With that in mind, Ye Sheng looked at Old Lin with shining black eyes and asked, "Old Lin, how many points do I need to redeem the primary repair fluid?"
"3000 points."
“？？？”
Ye Sheng was stunned by the astronomical figure.
She blinked in confusion, looked at Old Lin again, and repeated in disbelief, "3000 points!"
Lao Lin was very calm and nodded with a smile.
"I'll give you a discount and get you some primary repair fluids from other exchange halls, up to 3,500 points... Little Sheng, keep working hard. You'll get enough points sooner or later."
“……”
Three thousand points made Ye Sheng speechless.
The poor little girl couldn't move anyway, so she couldn't see the ugly wound. She decided to leave it alone for now.
She was too poor.
Even if she exchanged the energy stones for points, she would only have a little over a thousand points. That was far from enough to get three thousand points.
She didn't doubt Old Lin's words.
After all, the primary repair fluid could save someone's life. It was worth three thousand points.
And that was just the primary repair fluid. The intermediate repair fluid would be even more expensive.
Well!
She had to save slowly.
She put the repair fluid out of her mind for the moment. She thought about Old Lin's previous offer and had an idea. She knew what she wanted to exchange, "Old Lin, the meat of the medium radiated rat, bones and flesh included, is about forty kilograms. I can give you thirty kilograms."
"What do you want to exchange it for?”
