A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 6: Whitechapel (2012 last 1

"The tooth root is severely broken and must be pulled out as soon as possible."

   After some checks, Lu Li took the metal clip and the probe out of the patient's mouth.

   "First... first... anesthesia." Mr. Bryan said slurred.

   insisted till now, he is already in pain, and his forehead is covered with fine cold sweat.

   Seeing this, Lu Li didn't hesitate anymore, took out the standard dose of chloroform and placed it in front of Bryan's nose.

  In the sweet fragrance, the pain gradually disappeared.

   This gentleman waited impatiently, until he reached this point, he could only trust the new doctor.

   What's more, no matter how bad medical skills are, it is better than the previous owner of this house, Mr. Joseph, right?

   Had it not been for the severe pain and almost fainted, he would never have come here.

  Facts have proved that Lu Li's tooth extraction skills are superb. After three or two, Brian did not respond and ended the minor operation.

"All right."

   "Grasp this cotton wool tightly and spit it out after half an hour."

   Lu Li said, putting the metal tweezers and dental extraction forceps into the disinfectant.

   Then, he took off his gloves and added to the face in front of him that seemed to have been soaked in water:

   "Your bleeding volume is not too much, there is no need to lie down all the time, you can stand up and walk, or sit on the sofa over there for a while."

   Finished?

   On the operating table, Mr. Bryan has an incredible face. It's not that he has never seen a dentist before. That posture... is almost the same as a slaughterhouse. All kinds of dangerous tools are in the mouth.

   It's not only the patient's fear, but even the doctor who suffers, especially when dealing with some strong wisdom teeth, which can only be knocked down with a hammer.

   Because of this, he clenched the cotton wool soaked in the liquid medicine, and said vaguely: "Really good?"

   "That's right."

   Lu Li knew what the patient was worried about, and smiled and replied: "You can go to the sofa and sit down and wait for half an hour to see. During this period, if you have any questions, please ask me to deal with it at any time."

   Now, Mr. Bryan finally believed, got up and walked towards the rest area.

"gentlemen……"

   Mi Gao cautiously peeked out of the door, looked at the patient, and looked at Lu Li with an admiring look. "The stew will be ready in half an hour. When will the steak be fried?"

   "Now."

   Lu Li could see through the young man's thoughts at once, but didn't immediately say to teach him, after all, this thing cannot be done quickly, it must be accumulated.

   Three months, it can only lay a foundation.

   "I'm going to the far door in the afternoon to go to East London. You can go to Father Tony and get your luggage back."

   "As for the association, I will take time to accompany you someday to see if the deposits can be withdrawn."

   After finishing speaking, Lu Li turned and walked to the medicine cabinet, and began to dispense the unknown gentleman.

   In fact, chloroform and salicylic acid are a few drugs after all. The cabinets mainly contain herbs, animal bones, and minerals, giving people a feeling of combining modern medicine with witch doctors.

   However, existence is reasonable.

  Some herbs and minerals combined together can indeed produce pharmacological effects.

   Flowing quietly in the clinic, the burnt aroma wafting from the back kitchen and the smell of the spice stew made Brian feel like sitting on pins and needles, and his belly seemed to be conscious, muttering and protesting softly.

   This is a good phenomenon, only the sharp and unbearable pain will disappear, and the hunger instinct will reappear.

   However, Lu Li's next words, like a trial, caused Mr. Bryan to fall into the abyss:

   "In the next twenty-four hours, pay attention to your diet, the lighter the better, drink plenty of water, rest, don't eat seafood, let alone touch spicy food."

   "Within three days, do not use your tongue to stimulate the wound. After it is completely healed, it is best not to touch acidic foods. Do as little as possible to gnash your teeth and keep your teeth in a relaxed state."

   "By the way, spit out the cotton wool. Use this to rinse your mouth with gentle movements, three times a day, to clean your mouth and reduce inflammation."

   In this way, Lu Li handled the first operation in his life perfectly.

   Apart from the taboos, the patient was very satisfied with this treatment and was given a consultation fee of ten shillings.

   If Miko is allowed to do this, he will probably be firmer in his idea of ​​"learning to change destiny".

   Ten shillings, he has to wipe one hundred and twenty pairs of leather shoes, clean two hundred and forty trouser legs, and work non-stop for at least sixty hours to make so much money——

   I did not include the operating expenses to the association, otherwise, I would have to work on this basis for another 20 hours.

   And Lu Li, it only took a few minutes to get everything done. At other times, he was either in a daze or fiddling with the medicine cabinet and mixing time.

   The patient did not complain about this, and he even held Lu Li's hand before leaving and said:

   "Sir, in the future, we will leave the medical work of the whole block in our house to you. I will help promote it. It is an honor for Baker Street."

  Looking at the back of Mr. Bryan, Lu Chengzhong became more and more curious about the origin of that Doctor Joseph.

  The current known situation is that he is connected with Miskatonic University and left a mysterious book in the room. In addition, his medical skills are extremely poor. As a surgeon, it is very difficult to even extract a tooth for a patient.

   noon.

   A wooden sign indicating the suspension of business was hung on the door of the clinic.

   Migao sprinkled the onion that had been cut in advance, and then a little black pepper.

   On the pan, two steaks, one large and one small, are simmering.

   Aside, the stew pot smelled of meat.

   From the time of simmering at nine o'clock to the present, the mellow potatoes have turned into a puree, soaked in the delicious soup of beef.

   "Sir, I think we should add some more seasonings, it will be more fragrant."

   Migao put out the fire and jumped off the stool. "Mrs. Anna said that putting some homemade wine or even gin to stew the meat will taste better."

   "But there are no such things on the morning market today. I only bought some beer back. Now there are some left. Would you like something to drink?"

"good."

   Lu Li nodded, took off the windbreaker, and hung it on a shelf, waiting for the meal.

   Three dishes and one soup.

  Fried steak, beef stewed potatoes, cold watercress, mushroom soup.

   Looking at the well-behaved and sensible little guy in front of him, Lu Li smiled and said, "I will leave the kitchen to you from now on. The money given in the morning will be used for purchases. I will be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest and I will give my pocket money again."

"tomorrow?"

   "Sir, won't you come back?"

   "What about dinner?"

   Hearing what Lu Li said, Mi Gao panicked instantly. He finally found a sense of security at home.

   Upon seeing this, Lu Li rubbed his head and waited for the boy to calm down and explained: "At the latest tomorrow afternoon, if things go well, I will come back overnight."

   "Remember to lock the door and go to bed early."

   "If you need any trouble, go to the landlord on the 1st, I will entrust him to take care of it when I leave..."

   Finally, the boy accepted this cruel fact and promised to move the things back from the priest as soon as possible and return to the clinic before the sun sets.

  ……

   around one in the afternoon.

   After successfully providing medical services to a local patient, the small clinic on Baker Street officially closed, and the owner Lu Li headed towards East London.

   Because he was in a hurry, he didn't squeeze into the crowd anymore. Instead, regardless of the cost, he directly contracted a carriage and let the coachman provide him with long-term service.

   East London.

   is also called a colony, because the residents living here are crowded on the same tree like a rook.

   Of course, I did this not because I liked the excitement, but because of living conditions.

   "Sir, a gentleman like you, what does it cost me to go to such a place?"

   The coachman is an old man. He is driving a carriage through various alleys. It seems that he has no clear goal. It depends on the blind command of the guest in the carriage.

   drove east for a while, then retreated again, and proceeded in the opposite direction.

   "Visiting friends." Lu Li said concisely.

   As Uncle Jonny said, due to financial constraints, Dr. Joseph moved to East London.

  Because he smells in many streets, but there are many interference factors.

   The various pungent smells from the tramp, the indescribable degenerate smell, the smell of livestock manure, the smell of industrial waste gas...

   These are all disturbing Lu Li's sensitive sense of smell.

   Fortunately, as time went by, the suspicious area was continuously compressed, and the carriage was getting closer and closer to the mysterious Mr. Joseph.

at the same time.

   In a fairly wide room, Dr. Hyde Joseph is writing a diary.

   To be more precise, he was making notes while observing the window.

  【White Church District, a place full of misfortune, even if you close your eyes, you can hear, smell, and perceive. The residents are living in dire straits.

   If you want to find a place closest to **** in this world, then I can give a clear answer:

   White Church District.

   Here, poor people from different races can be seen everywhere, they are short, numb or drunk...

   Just two days after coming here, I discovered a weird phenomenon. When people talk, they often look down at the sidewalk, and then, without warning, bend down. The posture is like a coyote on the plain looking for food.

   It turned out that they picked up orange peels, apple peels, and grape stalks from the sticky sidewalk full of saliva and garbage to eat.

   They use their teeth to eat various pits and eat the pits inside.

   They picked up fingernail-sized crumbs, dark and dirty on top, chewing happily.

   I don’t know when these phenomena began to appear, but they are still happening and will continue forever.

  Ironically, the place where the incident occurred was the capital of the most prosperous empire in the history of the world. 】

   Click.

   The pen closes.

   outside the window.

   The tramp is fighting over the broken newspaper that can be wrapped around, and the unemployed worker and the tramp are arguing loudly over the prostitution.

   In addition, several orphans, including men and women, were rummaging through the sludge-filled garbage dump for rotten potatoes, beans, and watercress.

   Although I said that, some disrespect anything, but they really look like flies.

   For these children, the rotten apple is no different from a big meal, without any hesitation, gobbled it up on the spot, so as not to attract rivalry.

   "Should I change place?"

   Joseph has a headache because the deposit in the wallet does not allow him to move anymore.

   In addition, the current rented place is not bad in the slum area. Although it is not as good as the western area, it is also hundreds of times stronger than the shanty town and the sewer.

   "Excuse me, please wait here. I'll go to the clinic over there."

   "Of course, you are an employer."

   A carriage stopped outside the alley, and Lu Li jumped from the carriage.

  In front of me, the old buildings are scattered radioactively along the small square. Beside many houses, there are still small gardens for growing vegetables.

   The stone slab at the foot sank and mixed with the soil.

   "In the Whitechapel District, this place is pretty good..."

   The whispered voice came into the ears of the coachman, he disapproved, thinking: How could the master from Westminster Abbey have been here? It was probably hearsay.

   The brand-new deerstalker hat, spotless windbreaker, trousers, and leather boots are even more polished.

   Lu Li is not born with the East District.

   The passers-by stopped and analyzed in their hearts that he was either from the Financial City or Westminster Abbey.

   KOKOKO——

   The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence.

   On the wooden sign above his head, there are four big characters brushed with red paint: Surgical Clinic.

   "Is Dr. Joseph here?"

   Lu Li's tone was sure.

  Because he smelled the target in the air, the reason why he didn't call Dr. Joseph a prey is because the current situation is unclear and he can't jump to the conclusion.

  【Key Person】

   Use this word to describe it, which is more realistic.

   Not long after, Joseph poked his head out of the window sill on the second floor and replied loudly: "Here."

  咚咚咚.

   Lu Li's ears caught the sound of going downstairs, which was extremely heavy, like a big stupid bear.

   In fact, the physique of Doctor Joseph and the brown bear is almost the same. He pushed open the locked door~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Weng Shengqi said, "Man, what's the matter?"

  The words fell, and his eyes narrowed on the wolf head sword in Lu Li's hand.

   It’s not that this is actually a weapon, but because of its material and carving craftsmanship.

   "Can I go in and chat?"

   Lu Li was very satisfied with Doctor Joseph's expression. The first time ordinary people saw Jianguai, they would guess how old it was and how old it was forging. At the same time, it would be more or less greedy.

   And this crappy doctor connected with the Mystery Academy has scrutiny and thinking in his eyes.

"Of course."

   Under the gaze of homeless people and passers-by, the clinic closed again.

   The front room used to diagnose and treat patients is not dim, and the kerosene lamp is on, emitting a soft light.

   "The operating table is not ready yet, and there is no shortage of medicines. If you have a toothache, I can prescribe some anesthetics, but don't abuse it."

   Doctor Joseph seemed to be pretending to be confused, and he seemed to really treat Lu Li as a patient.

   But, are there really patients who come to see Lu Li with a calm face?

   "Hello, I am Lu Li from the Association of Surgeons. Just yesterday, I moved into Baker Street."

   said, Lu Li put down the box behind his back, which contained four books.

   Three worthless medical books, and the cowhide book with a mysterious origin.

  At the same time, Joseph was stunned. He was surprised that such a person actually existed in the world, spanning half a city, and deliberately returned a group of discarded garbage to the original owner.

   Although the last book does have a special meaning, it has long since become the past.
