Shut up! I'm not a destroyer!

Veneto became interested when he heard about daily necessities.

Before, the seasonings were always in a state of consumption and could never be replenished.

Although seasoning is not a must for him and Shenhai Dahe.

They are not like humans who are unable to exert their strength due to lack of salt.

But they still pursue taste.

This is an inherent cognition of being a creature with a taste system.

Then seasoning is still very important.

"It seems so. You need to ask the steward."

Panasonic touched the back of his head and answered uncertainly.

He usually doesn't ask in detail about the living things being transported, and usually just wants to know the general idea.

For him, the specifics are not important, the total price is the most important.

"Then we'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Veneto said as he glanced at the tents in the center of the camp.

"His calf must be broken. Who made this splint? It needs to be loosened every once in a while to allow blood to circulate in his calf. Otherwise, he'll have to wait for amputation."

The doctor gave instructions while removing the tree branch splint from the middle-aged man's body.

"Okay, I know."

Veneto nodded in agreement. It was she who broke the leg, so she was the only one who had to bear the consequences.

"The conditions are too bad right now. We'll have to go to Saga tomorrow to reprocess it and take an X-ray to see what's going on inside before we can come up with a treatment plan."

The doctor lifted up the middle-aged man's pants, took a look at his swollen calf, and shrugged helplessly.

"I'll come back later and tie him up again."

After saying this, the doctor picked up his medical bag and left.

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving too."

Matsushita nodded to Veneto, then walked towards another guard not far away, looking like he was going to assign him a task.

Veneto stopped paying attention to him and looked at Deep Sea Yamato.

"Just ask."

"Why did you agree to go with them?"

Deep Sea Yamato obviously has a lot of questions, but due to the three rules he made with Veneto, he can only pretend to be mute for the time being.

But Veneto had already noticed the look in her eyes that was eager to ask questions.

"Because this will reduce our attractiveness. We need to be a little less noticeable when blending into the caravan."

Veneto paid a quick look at his surroundings and found that no guards were paying attention to this side.

"If we carry him into the city alone, it will be like a light in the dark night. Many people will notice us. But if we follow the caravan into the city and blend in with the crowd, we will be less likely to attract other people's attention."

Veneto pointed to the guards nearby who were keeping vigilant against the beasts.

"We're here to investigate...buy livestock and investigate his problems, not to attack Saga Castle. And it would be great if we had someone on guard, so we don't have to take turns doing that."

Although to her and Deep Sea Yamato, wild beasts are nothing.

But they had just dealt with a wave of mercenaries who were aiming to capture the ship girls, and they had special weapons in their hands.

If she and Fukami Yamato slept in the wild defenselessly like before and met that group of people again, it would be hard to say who would win.

NO.379 Is the doctor poor or is the ship girl poor?

So when vigilance is needed, there are many people who share the work, and they don't have to pay, so why not do it?

"Oh……"

Fukukai Yamato followed Veneto's gaze and glanced at the patrolling guards, then nodded in understanding.

Of course Veneto still couldn't tell whether this guy really understood or was just pretending to understand.

After a while, a middle-aged doctor came over strolling with a roll of bandages and a bottle of ointment.

"what is this?"

Fukayama looked at the ointment in the doctor's hand curiously and asked Veneto quietly.

As for the deep sea, this kind of thing has definitely not been used.

"It should be an ointment for treating bruises and injuries."

Veneto didn't quite understand either.

However, as human beings, we still know that injuries like fractures need to be treated with ointment.

She was certainly not a naughty child in her previous life, but there were always two of her classmates who would get so tired that they broke bones.

"Yes, it can relieve the pain to a certain extent and allow him to sleep well."

The doctor sat next to the middle-aged man. There was a stone there, which must have been moved there by a former traveler.

In fact, the bonfires in Veneto all have primitive foundations.

That was also the campfire base made of stones by former travelers.

"But if you want to be cured completely, you still have to go to Saga Port."

The doctor spoke to Veneto as he unscrewed the medicine bottle in his hand.

He could tell at a glance that among the three men, the youngest one was the one in charge.

This is a very normal situation among ship girls, because you never know how many years those short ship girls have lived.

The point is that you can't ask her age yet.

After all, they look like girls, and the age of girls is a taboo.

"I still want to thank the doctor for lending a helping hand at this time."

Although the doctor said that they had to go to Zuoga to cure the middle-aged man's leg, Veneto disagreed because she, Fukukai Yamato, and this middle-aged man were not together.

However, when they were out and about, they didn't affect Veneto and were full of good intentions, so of course they still had to show proper courtesy.

Of course, Veneto was slapped in the face the next second.

"Let me make it clear first, this is not 'lending a hand', I will charge for it."

The doctor picked up a relatively sturdy wooden stick from the side, inserted it into the ointment jar, and started stirring.

He first had to dilute the solidified ointment before applying it to the middle-aged man's legs.

"I am a doctor hired by the caravan. They don't have their own doctor. All medical expenses for their team members during the mission are reimbursed by the caravan."

The doctor spoke to Veneto apologetically as he stirred the food.

"But you are not their staff, and I am using my own medicine...These days, doctors also need to eat. If they just save lives and heal the wounded, they will starve to death before they can save others."

"Well, okay then... can we use resources to pay off the debt?"

Veneto really wanted to say, don't prescribe that ointment, because this middle-aged man is not important to them anyway, he is just a witness who leads the way and identifies people, so let him be if he is lame.

"You can, but I only want aluminum. The others are too heavy to carry."

The doctor nodded, but also gave some restrictions.

"it is good."

Veneto thought about it and agreed.

Although she felt that the doctor might be taking money from both ends.

On the one hand, they collect the cost of so-called 'own medicine' from her, and on the other hand, they collect the cost of 'reimbursed medicine' from her employer.

But they always say that if you give a stick, you will get a sweet date.

She applied this principle to the enemy. She felt that this disabled middle-aged man should behave himself until the guy who paid for the ship girl was found.

Besides, all the money spent belonged to Gangwan Qiji, so she didn't feel bad about it.

After receiving the reply from the sponsor, the doctor no longer hesitated, but applied the black ointment in the medicine bottle on the middle-aged man's legs.

"hiss!"

The dazed middle-aged man woke up with a start.

Apparently the ointment did have some effect, like it made the swollen and hot wounds feel cool or something.

"I paid a doctor to treat your leg, so please stop complaining."

The doctor turned his back to Veneto and smiled at the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

"Yes, I understand."

The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, trying to show that he had received the subtext of Veneto's words.

"Okay, this should help. We'll go to the city tomorrow and look for a hospital. By the way, I have a friend who opened a Dong's Orthopedics clinic that specializes in treating injuries and bone setting."

While the doctor was tying up the middle-aged man's legs with bandages and a straight wooden stick, he did not forget to promote his friend.

"May I ask the doctor's name? I have seen Doctor Dong. I would also like to share my background."

Veneto feels that nowadays, only ancient style is appropriate, because this middle-aged doctor keeps talking about injuries and bone setting.

"My last name is Kono, my given name is Taro."

The doctor tied up the middleman's legs and held out his hand to Veneto: "Chenghui, 5 units of aluminum."

The price of aluminum is about 50 yuan per unit, and 5 units is 250 yuan.

The 60 yuan per unit sold by Nagasaki City Merchants before was not the official price, but his own price.

250 yuan to treat the leg is not expensive, but it is not cheap either.

However, compared with the current wild environment, this doctor's price is considered to be reasonable.

"Kanmusume is also very poor..."

Veneto put on her stingy acting skills. Although she still had a lot of aluminum in her body space, being too generous would mean losing money.

Before, simply because they were ship girls, some blind people came to capture her and Deep Sea Yamato.

If she appears to be a wealthy ship girl, wouldn't she be more attractive to bad guys?

Although I'm not afraid, it's troublesome and affects my mood.

The doctor listened to Veneto's mumbling the whole time, he just smiled and didn't respond.

Just like he said just now, no matter how great a white angel you are, you still have to feed yourself first.

It's not like I'm a real angel, I'm still a human being after all.

After searching for a long time, Veneto pretended to take out a small handful of aluminum from the inner pocket of his clothes.

She didn't check the exact number, but it was definitely no more than 1 units.

Although it is not exactly 5 units, it looks more realistic.

After rubbing his palm for a long time, Veneto finally placed 5 units of aluminum into the doctor's palm.

The doctor took the money and left, and of course he took the medicine jar with him.

"You didn't bargain?"

Deep Sea Yamato was very surprised when he recalled the incident in Nagasaki Castle when Veneto and the resource trader were arguing over prices.

"The profession of doctor is very important to human beings and is unique in nature. Lowering their prices only happens when the price of treatment is too exaggerated or their level is too poor. But now, it is still reasonable."

Veneto stared at the middle-aged doctor's back as he left, and said to Fukayama, "You don't need to understand why I am different."

"Oh."

Fukayama nodded.

The second half of the night passed in silence, with the dawn not even able to penetrate the woods.

The sky turned blue, so the people in the caravan got up and began to pack their belongings.
