In the following days, Elena took good care of the young patient, and at the same time took the time to check on the health of the other residents of the town.
Most of the townspeople are relatively healthy, mainly due to the long-term lack of food and irregular eating times, which results in thin bodies. However, the Sachi people seem to have adapted to this environment, although they do not seem to have much muscle, strength and endurance.
There are many people who are better than girls - including even old men who are close to a hundred years old.
She left some herbal medicines for repelling insects and relieving itching for the townspeople, as well as the corresponding usage - all kinds of mosquitoes in the wasteland not only spread diseases, but the toxins after their bites are also painful and itchy. She also left behind
Their seeds, these types of medicinal herbs, do not require much rain to grow. When they are grown, in addition to their own use, they may also be able to earn extra income for the town.
The boy's symptoms gradually improved, the redness and swelling on his body visibly subsided, and his energy and appetite also recovered a lot. When he was able to leave the hut on his own and greet the townspeople, everyone's vague vigilance towards Elena was completely transformed.
Became trust and love.
They were surprised that a little girl who had just grown up - at least for the Sachi people - could possess such superb medical skills. They also expressed the same expression when they learned that she would be separated from Hylanthia soon and travel alone.
Out of reluctance and worry.
"Or, you can stay here for a while." An old woman with curly silver hair said with a somewhat unclear voice, "It's not safe in the north. If you are alone, something might happen."
Elena declined the invitation from the townspeople. Rather, their friendliness strengthened the girl's determination to continue traveling. She will definitely travel to more places, see more luck and misfortune, and bring light to more people.
The person——the girl believed so.
She lived in Rubble Town for a total of ten days. When the boy's illness fully recovered, she told him what needed attention again, and then she said goodbye to Hylanthia and the townspeople.
"Speaking of which, what did Sister Yinyue do?" The two were walking side by side again, and the girl asked curiously, "I haven't seen you for several days."
"I just helped them improve the surrounding soil so that next year's harvest can be better." The silver-haired woman replied casually, "Of course, I don't know who they will thank for this."
The girl tilted her head, as if she somewhat understood why Hylanthia did this, but not completely. The dirt road in the wasteland divided into two parts, the left and right, and the two stopped at the fork.
"It's time to say goodbye temporarily." The silver-haired woman rubbed Elena's hair again, earning a slightly dissatisfied look from the girl, "Are you ready for the rest of the journey?"
The girl nodded seriously.
"I'll leave this pony and luggage to you. Use it with care." Helencia patted the pony's neck and took out a silver badge from her arms - of course it didn't represent the Templars.
The one - handed it to the girl, "If you encounter a critical situation, just hold it tightly and pray to Leonos. However, it is better to avoid danger as much as possible and not to use it lightly."
"Thank you, Sister Yinyue~" Elena took the badge and carefully put it into her pocket, "When can we meet again?"
"Maybe a long time, maybe very soon." Hylanthia said with a smile, "The future is interesting precisely because it is uncertain."
The two waved goodbye. Elena watched the silver-haired woman go away, her figure gradually blending into the loess of the wasteland. She took a gentle breath and put her hands in front of her mouth——
"I will look forward to our next meeting! Please look forward to it too!"
She didn't know if the other party heard this, but that didn't matter. This mentor and friend, who was like a sister and an elder, had already given her enough expectations and help. What she should do now was just try her best not to let it go.
Everything the other party has done and his own beliefs have been in vain.
She turned around and walked down another road.
…
Unfortunately, ideals and reality are often inconsistent.
Maybe it's bad luck, or maybe she doesn't look threatening - in other words, she's easy to bully, and Elena's journey is not going well.
On the fifth day after parting with Hylanthia, she stayed temporarily in the tribe she passed. Just like in Rubble Town, she tried to treat the residents of the tribe and distributed some herbs and seeds to them.
However, a group of half-grown teenagers swarmed up and snatched all the herbs she was carrying. She tried to argue with them, but the people in the tribe just said lightly that the Sachi people speak for themselves, and if they want the herbs, they can just grab them themselves.
.
Of course she didn't do that, even if there was a fight, those young men might not be her opponents.
On the eleventh day, two passing hunters shot her horse with one arrow and confidently claimed that all wild beasts in this land were their prey.
She was so angry that she overturned the two men. She wanted them to compensate, but seeing that they couldn't find anything valuable on them, she could only take away a worn-out dagger and gave them some as a gift.
The food in the parcel was too heavy to carry on my back after all.
On the eighteenth day, a group of Saqi warriors who seemed to have just won a tribal battle and returned with a large amount of loot and captives discovered her. I don't know if they were greedy for the possible belongings on her, or she herself, several warriors used Saqi to
Yu yelled, grabbed her, and ran after her with long strides.
After several chases and escapes, Elena found that her physical strength was far inferior to those of the wasteland residents. She had no choice but to take out the emblem that Helenthia had given her, hold it in her chest and pray in a low voice. After a burst of bright light, everyone chased after her.
All the soldiers covered their eyes, wailed and fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was frightened, the girl quickly left the scene. However, her package was also discarded during the previous chase, leaving only a small amount of personal belongings on her body.
Elena continued her journey, but she was a little discouraged. She couldn't help but wonder, is it really possible for such a person and such a bad environment to change?
Hunger and thirst are not problems for her. The Lord of Light's magic can give her enough food and water every day, and she can even share it with others. To simply clean the body and avoid damage caused by sun exposure, use
Divine magic can also be achieved.
However, the interaction between people cannot be solved by any magic.
The girl recalled her experiences from the beginning to the present. She had seen many sights that she had never known before. Some tribesmen were not fully clothed, and some even ate their weak and dead tribesmen as food. Most of them practiced rape.
Based on the principle of respecting those who are stronger, perhaps in this environment, only those with sufficient strength can better ensure the continuation of the entire tribe and even the ethnic group.
She understood that her abilities were still insufficient, but then she remembered what Hylancia did in the original village and what she once said.
"As the "light" of the church, you must always keep your heart filled with light."
The girl looked at the bright sunshine on the horizon, held the silver emblem in her hand, and felt warmth rising in her heart again.
She will not change her original intention, and from now on, she will not ask for anyone's gratitude. As long as she does what she wants to do, she is happy enough.
