17 Totally unexpected (1/2)

”Bro,” Yan Liuyuan asked Ren Xiaosu, ”Did you really treat someone for free this afternoon? That's so unlike you!”

”Don't ask. Kill yourself if you do,” Ren Xiaosu said bitterly.

Honestly speaking, he really wanted to promote the black medicine to everyone. He would largely have to depend on this method to gain the gratitude of others. Moreover, this medicine was also the core of his plan to make money in the short term. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

So Ren Xiaosu convinced himself that the beginning was always the most challenging as a consolation. People with big goals should not be hindered by trivialities. He would have to be generous as a person!

Ren Xiaosu was not stingy for the sake of it. He knew well what he had to do at the appropriate times. However, he couldn't help but feel the pinch.

Xiaoyu consoled with a smile, ”Don't worry, you'll definitely succeed.”

After saying that, Xiaoyu returned to her shack and went to bed. In the past, she could not sleep all that well at night. But since moving here, she could always sleep soundly every day.

The next morning, the stronghold's clock abruptly rang as though it were reminding everyone that it was time to go work at the factory.

Ren Xiaosu returned with the allocated amount of water that he was allowed to draw for the day. He estimated that it would take 12 hours for the wound to start scabbing over after the black medicine was applied, so he was not in a rush to see what the reactions of the people in town were.

Once everyone learned of the effectiveness of the medicine, people would naturally approach him with questions.

However, Ren Xiaosu did not expect that when he carried the bucket of water back, Wang Fugui would be there waiting at the entrance of the shack with a smile.

”Old Wang, what are you doing here so early? I haven't been out to catch any sparrows lately,” Ren Xiaosu said unhurriedly as he put the bucket on the ground. He glanced into the shack. Quick-witted Yan Liuyuan had already raised his bone knife to guard against Old Wang. It was only after he saw Ren Xiaosu that he finally lowered the bone knife.

When Wang Fugui saw Ren Xiaosu, his eyes shimmered. ”Oh, Xiaosu, you're finally back! I came over this early in the morning just to look for you!”

”Why?” Ren Xiaosu felt that something was amiss. What could make Old Wang that happy? He examined Old Wang closely and said, ”Have you been drinking?”

Wang Fugui immediately looked annoyed. ”What do you mean by drinking? Don't you know that alcohol is prohibited now? Who'd be brave enough to drink when everyone does not even have enough food to spare?”

”I remember smelling something particular on you the previous time…”

Wang Fugui's expression became thunderous in reaction to Ren Xiaosu's words He quickly interrupted him and said, ”Don't you spout nonsense!”

”Alright, alright, I won't. Why are you looking for me?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

”Did you treat Iron Head's wound yesterday? The one who lives on the east side of town?” Wang Fugui said as he winked at him.

”Oh, so he's called Iron Head…. His head doesn't feel that hard to me, so why does he have that name?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.

”Don't interrupt me.” Wang Fugui said, ”Just tell me if you did or not.”

”Yes, I did!” Ren Xiaosu was beginning to cheer in his mind. Wang Fugui was a person who would not look for someone without a reason. It must be the black medicine's effectiveness that attracted him and made him see the profitability of it. Why else would he be so polite towards him?

This proved that the market for his black medicine was opening up!

Wang Fugui was elated when Ren Xiaosu admitted to it. ”Do you… still have that medicine? You can give them with me. I'll sell it for you!”

”You want to sell it for me? No way!” Ren Xiaosu shook his head. ”I can't have a middleman taking a cut of the profit. This town is so small already. Wouldn't it be better for me to sell it myself? It's not like I'm planning to sell my medicine at every stronghold out there. Besides, even if I had such a big business, you wouldn't be able to handle it.”

Wang Fugui was stunned at Ren Xiaosu's words. Right, this town was tiny, so why would Ren Xiaosu let him sell the medicine for him?

But Wang Fugui said again, ”It's fine even if you sell a little bit of it to me.”

”Eh?” Ren Xiaosu scrutinized Wang Fugui. ”You don't look injured, so why would you need this medicine?”

Wang Fugui smiled mysteriously and said, ”You still don't know, right? Yesterday, Iron Head got a little suspicious after returning home. He wanted to know what you applied to his wound. So he smelled it but couldn't make out what it was. After that, he licked it, trying to taste what it was made with. Guess what happened as a result.”

Ren Xiaosu wondered what the hell was wrong with that guy. He'd even licked it.
