Chapter 40 Hospital

"It's okay, Marcus, you just suffered from insufficient blood supply to the brain for a short period of time. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."

In the ward, a young doctor was treating me. After various examinations with the instruments in his hand, he confirmed that I was in good health.

Taking this opportunity, I also observed this doctor myself.

Doctor Dot, twenty-eight years old, comes from a strange group of voluntary volunteers in the city. He looks black-haired and black-eyed, and is obviously not consistent with the local people.

According to his description, he came here to volunteer to improve the local medical level and to hone his professional and spiritual skills.

But whoever believes him is a fool. After all, the pseudonym Dot is not deceptive at all.

Anyway, after this young doctor who called himself "Dot" examined my body seriously, he prescribed a bottle of strangely colored concoction for me to drink.

Doctor Dot, who only looked at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, said seriously: "This is the concoction I prepared based on the special medicinal materials in the town. Drinking it can restore your energy and replenish your vitality. Hurry, drink it."

"Doctor, why does this thing look so green and bubbling?"

"I just configured it, no problem!"

Doctor Dot gave me a thumbs up with a serious look on his face.

"Okay." I looked at this bottle of concoction, which was about the size of a mineral water bottle. I felt that it wouldn't taste any worse than the traditional Chinese medicine from my previous life, right?

"Well..."

After one bite, I felt that my entire mouth and esophagus were numb.

The potion was neither cold nor hot, neither sweet nor salty, but the taste had a bitter taste of grass. It was like swallowing an anesthetic cotton ball in an instant, and everyone lost consciousness wherever it went.

"Doctor...my throat..."

As soon as I finished saying these two words, I couldn't say the rest of the words. I felt like my vocal cords were missing.

Seeing my frightened face, Dr. Dot suddenly explained: "Sorry, I forgot to explain! Although these concoctions are harmless, there are some plant alkaloids in the ingredients that can be decomposed in a short time.

The only side effect is paralysis."

"Hey, the medical resources in this town are very scarce. Many special medicines are restricted by trade regulations and cannot be exported here. I had no choice but to find these local herbs as a substitute."

"You know, the effect of these herbs is beyond my expectation. No wonder this island has been able to develop for so long without modern medicine."

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot you were speechless. Do you want to drink some water and rest?"

With gestures and expressions, I finally stopped him from continuing to discuss the sanitary conditions on the island at length, and asked for a glass of water to drink.

"Phew...much better."

I took a sip of water and felt that the side effects of the concoction were gone. My whole body felt energized from the inside out, and I wanted to go out and run a marathon.

But when I saw Dr. Dot, he stood up in shock and asked me:

"Have you recovered? Normal paralysis lasts fifteen minutes!"

I coughed and tested my pronunciation, and sure enough it was all normal.

After all, I am a person with the "Legendary Characteristic: Mr. Bei". The effect of this anesthetic is nothing. I won't have any side effects even if I eat two kilograms of plastic.

But it’s hard for me to explain this reason to him.

I poured in all the remaining concoction, and when I looked at my character status bar, I saw that there was indeed an extra line of small words.

"Character status: paralysis 8%

Negative status duration: 209 seconds"

I can get rid of this negative effect in about three minutes, and it takes an ordinary person fifteen minutes to be paralyzed, so my immunity is probably that of an ordinary person...

Five times?!

"Marcus, can you stay and do a test? I have three new concoction formulas here. I have no case to test the effectiveness of the medicine. If you were here, I would definitely not ask..."

"I refuse!"

You are a doctor!

Not a crazy doctor!

So what do I mean by doing in vivo experiments?

"Marcus, please think about it again. There is no risk in the experiment..."

"It doesn't work, I fainted from the injection."

"No need for injections, just drink it."

"I feel dizzy in my white coat."

"Then I can wear casual clothes."

"I'm dizzy, I'm going back to Planet Vegeta!"

I took the opportunity to run away, not to be targeted by such a dangerous person, but as soon as I opened the door, Popley also walked in, holding a bottle of something similar to the concoction I just had.

"Marcus, you've recovered~" Popley greeted happily.

"It's Purberry, Marcus has recovered after taking the medicine, you don't have to worry." Doctor Dot explained seriously.

"I'm not worried..."

"Yes, you just said..."

"Ah ah, that's enough, Marcus, let's go!"

Purbury quickly interrupted Dr. Dot, dragged me out of the ward, and rushed out of the hospital.

Until I walked out of the hospital, I could still hear Dr. Dot's people calling behind me.

"Marcus come here often! You are needed here!"

But I don’t need to take medicine!

How can anyone want others to come to the hospital more often to take medicine?

The two of us were walking on the street in the evening, and the westward sunlight stretched the shadows of the trees slantingly, drawing mottled traces on the ground. There were still a few circling birds in the blue sky, looking for the location of their home.

"Hey, Marcus, does that medicine taste good?"

Purberry had been silent since leaving the hospital. The two of them just relied on tacit understanding to walk towards the chicken farm, when they suddenly spoke.

I was caught off guard, said.

"I can't say it tastes bad, but after drinking it I lost consciousness in my stomach and felt very bad. By the way, what is your medicine?"

"I got it for my mother."

Purbury's little skirt fluttered like the changing weather, and her expression gradually became complicated.

"My mother's illness has always been maintained by taking medicines. Only after taking these medicines can she regain some energy and go out for a walk."

"What disease was found?" I asked a little presumptuously, but my curiosity overcame everything again.

"I don't know~" Popley showed an indifferent smile, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"I heard that I had seen many doctors before, and they all said that there was no disease, it was just a psychological problem. But later it was speculated that it was a genetic disease. Later, the case became more complicated and the cause was a mutated virus, but no doctor could confirm it."

"Dad heard that there were doctors in big cities who could treat him, so he went there alone to seek medical treatment. As time passed, he stopped coming back. I really don't know..."

I know what she wants to say in the second half of the sentence.

She must have guessed whether her father used this excuse to abandon his sick wife and children and start a new life in the city.

"But every time my mother smiled and told us it didn't matter. She would take good care of herself and my father would come back when she was cured."

"But obviously every time I send money and medicine back, I have never seen his person..."

"Pubry, have you ever thought about the outside world?"

I asked softly.

"The outside world?"

"Well." I looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "I am from the outside world. In fact, every place has its own misfortunes and happiness, and no one can be perfect."

I pointed at her nose and gently shook my finger.

"You are not someone else, so you can't feel other people's joys, sorrows, and joys. If you feel the same way, it's nothing more than touching a similar wound in your own body."

"So don't guess. Cherish the people around you, cherish the time now, and cherish the short-term happiness. Otherwise, when you regret it in the future, you will find that the things you missed at that time have become untouchable memories.

Already."

Purbury lowered her head and walked forward without answering my words.

"Publi, why are you ignoring me?"

"I think you..."

"Think of me?"

"How verbose!"

Popley suddenly raised her head, made a face at me, and jumped into the chicken farm gate.

"Tch, you still think I'm verbose, who almost shed tears just now."
