Madge, that is, the little girl. When Mel saw the pale girl lying dying on the carriage, she immediately issued an order: Take her to see Qinna quickly!
So a bunny maid carried Madge on her back and quickly rushed to the hospital not far away, with everyone following desperately.
The hospital is a place that retains the forest landscape. A road leads to the dense woods. There is a unique white building there, which is very quiet.
Demons rarely get sick. Most of the people who come here are sick children and their parents, as well as injured soldiers or hunters. Most of the wounded in the last war have recovered enough to be discharged from the hospital, so there are not many people here now.
"Doctor Qinna!"
The three of them ran all the way to the main clinic and found Qin Na, who was wearing a white coat and a mask. When she saw the people rushing around, she felt something was wrong.
"Wait a moment and check your temperature."
After she finished speaking to the patient, she stood up and walked towards the people who were running towards her in a hurry.
"Running is not allowed in the hospital, what's wrong?"
"Doctor! Doctor! Help!! Help Izzy, she is very sick!"
Lars said out of breath, while Mel, who lacked exercise, appeared behind her after about ten seconds. She took a few breaths and said, "Hurry, she may be seriously ill."
Hearing this, Qinna quickly walked to the girl's side. She recited a spell silently, cast magic, picked up a piece of paper, and pasted it on Madge's forehead.
Soon, the paper turned dark red, like blood congestion.
"No! It's very serious. Take her to the emergency room quickly!"
After saying that, he asked everyone to put him on the cart and push him to a room.
"Why did you bring her here now!"
On the way, Qinna suddenly shouted, and Lars behind him gritted his teeth and showed a sad expression.
"Stop! You wait outside, don't come in."
Qinna blocked several people outside, and then closed the door. The cold door made Lars feel extremely scared and suffocated. Abi and Mel stood aside. Although they were also worried about the girl, they
That's just mercy for a stranger.
But Lars is different. For him, both Madge and Iggy are his relatives. If Madge dies and Iggy leaves, then he will be helpless and lonely in this world.
of a person.
"Don't worry, although Qin Na is very young, her medical skills are better than many old doctors, and the facilities here are complete, so she will be fine."
Mel persuaded on the side.
Lars didn't dare to look at her face or her eyes, probably because he didn't want others to see his tearful eyes. He looked at the floor and nodded.
Mel was a little worried about the boy, but she had many important things to do now and had no time to stay with the boy.
At this time, Abi stepped forward and patted his head and said, "You are now a man. Protect her. We have work to do, so let's go first."
After saying that, Abi took Mel and prepared to leave. You can stay with him.
Mel suddenly said to the servant, and the rabbit-man maid nodded, but Abi said no, let's go, he can do it alone.
The servant looked at it and left.
Outside the iron gate, Lars is alone now...
He was restless inside, and every second of waiting was torture. His body seemed to be crawling with ants. He couldn't sit or stand, and kept pacing outside.
There was no sound from inside, which made him very uneasy. He kept pacing until his legs were so sore that he sat down.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Lars still felt that every second was so long.
People who are extremely anxious will not feel hungry or thirsty, but this does not mean that the body does not need to eat and drink water. He just sits there without eating or drinking.
I don’t know how long passed, but Lars felt as if he had spent a longer time than his life. He sat quietly at the door, motionless. Occasionally, some demons, rabbits or mice would pass by,
But Lars didn't feel scared at all, he was only thinking about Madge now.
There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, getting closer and closer, and only the sound of a piece of paper was heard.
"Hey, eat something."
When Abi's voice came, it was already night, and the magic lights in the corridor were on, so Lars thought it was daytime.
Lars raised his head. It was hard to imagine that a young man could become so vicissitudes of life in such a short period of time. The look in his eyes made Abi frown.
"I'm not hungry."
He whispered, his voice a little hoarse.
"You can eat as much as you are told, and I'll whip you if you have any leftovers!"
Abi stuffed the food on him, which was some bread and porridge in a carton, which was still a little warm.
Lars didn't move, just looked at them. Mel said to Abi that humans have a strange way of thinking, which is self-abuse. She said that the boy must feel guilty because the girl was in the emergency room and there was nothing he could do.
In addition, what Qin Na said will definitely make him feel very guilty and even self-abuse.
For example, they won't eat or drink, they may even scratch themselves, causing physical pain.
Abi was worried, so he came to take a look. Sure enough, this human boy was so stupid!
The Ketu tribe does not have this kind of mentality. They will be sad when a relative dies, but they will not skip eating because of this, because these are two different things. Being sad is still sad, and they still have to eat.
It sat next to the boy, supervising him to eat the food it bought. In the end, the boy couldn't help it and ate big mouthfuls, but he couldn't taste anything.
I don’t know how long it took, and Abi didn’t know how many yawns I yawned. Finally, the iron door opened.
Qin Na, who looked tired, came out, and the young man stood up excitedly.
"We are temporarily out of danger."
Hearing this, Lars breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, I can only say with regret that her disease cannot be cured. It is a congenital disease and cannot be cured."
Qin Na said this.
This sentence gave Lars a heavy blow. He looked at Abi with a dull face and said, "Didn't you say... you can cure her disease..."
After saying that, the young man suddenly fell to the ground.
Abi stood there, watching Qina rush towards the boy, but it was indifferent.
At that moment, it was hurt by the words of a human boy...
early morning
Behind the white curtains, a ray of bright sunlight shone in, and Lars woke up. He was lying on a hospital bed with gauze wrapped around his body.
"Hey, I woke up. I thought you were dead."
Ah Bi's voice came, Lars turned her head and saw that the bunny sister appeared beside her. She opened the curtains and looked outside.
"The weather is pretty good today."
she said.
Lars was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, looking distracted.
"She's awake. Do you want to go check on her?"
Abi looked at the boy, but Lars turned over and turned his back to her, saying nothing.
Looking at his back, Abi thought of Mel's words, which the young man might not be able to think about.
Qi! What does this have to do with me? Do I, a little human being, have to worry so much?
Abi was a little angry, turned around and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped again. Her drooping ears betrayed her heart, so she turned around and gave the boy one last hope.
"I know you don't want to believe me, but I still have to tell you that the master of this land may be able to cure him. If even he can't do it, no one in the world can."
The boy sat up suddenly, but Abi had already left.
That adult?
The owner of the land? Isn’t it the city owner named Mel?
He was a little confused and only half-convinced.
After lying there for a while, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps.
"Brother Lars!"
Hearing this, Lars was frightened and looked towards the door. It was Madge wearing a white dress! She had a thin face, but a cheerful smile.
"Why are you here?"
"Hey, I'm feeling much better."
Madge jumped up to Lars' bed, leaned her back on the bed, and sat directly on the bed.
"Brother Lars, how is your injury?"
"Me? It's okay."
"Then why are you still lying on the bed?"
Lars didn't know why he didn't answer this question. He took a breath and said nothing.
"That's right." At this time, Madge took out a few silver coins from her pocket and put them in Lars's hand. There were only three coins in total, but Lars felt that they were very heavy.
"A big sister Tutu gave me some money and asked us to go to the city to have some fun. Brother Lars, have you had breakfast?"
Lars was stunned for a moment, it was the bunny named Abby! She actually!
Why?
Why does she care so much about them as humans?
"without."
"Then let's go! Let's go to the city for breakfast! The bunny sister said that there are a lot of delicious food in the city!"
The girl held the boy's hand and said, she was so energetic that Lars even thought she was fine.
"Wait, you just happened to..."
"Let's go!"
Madge was full of energy and pulled Lars out of the ward. The forest outside the hospital was filled with the chirping of birds. The two of them already liked the forest, so they played there for a while, and then walked along the road to the avenue.
There were many demons coming and going. In addition to the bunny people, Madge would be afraid of those from the mouse tribe, half horse tribe, and snake tribe. So she held Lars's hand and walked on the road. Lars also felt nervous.
Fortunately, there were a lot of humans on the road, which reduced some of their mental burden.
The road was very wide and comfortable to walk on. Soon they smelled a scent, which smelled like barbecued corn and other snacks.
Smelling this fragrance, Lars couldn't help but swallowed.
Maggie held Russ's hand. She didn't speak, but kept glancing towards that place, and then looked at Russ.
She is not the kind of person who keeps acting coquettishly until the other party gives in if she wants something. Instead, she will be quiet and give crazy hints with her eyes or demeanor.
"Come on, let's go get something to eat."
“Yeah!!”
Madge jumped for joy.
It was a food stall with a red-and-white striped awning on the top. The owner was a squinty-eyed man wearing a grease-stained apron. He didn't shout for a drink, but just looked at the people passing by quietly.
At this time, two young humans came to his stall. He couldn't remember whether there were two boys and girls of this age among the survivors. He should have seen more than a hundred people, but he
But they felt strange to them.
"Wow! So many delicious foods!"
Madge opened her eyes wide and looked at the red and green food.
In the hot square iron pot, there are tempting meat skewers, like mutton skewers, as well as some grilled fish on skewers, pancakes with vegetables, eggs and meat steaks, they are sizzling on the flat iron pot.
There was a loud noise, and even Lars, who was restrained, couldn't help but swallow a few times.
He was holding an unfamiliar currency in his hands and seemed a little unsure.
"Old! Boss, how do you sell these meat skewers?"
"Two pentacles."
Star coins?
Lars had never heard of currency. He was a little nervous and secretly looked at the three silver coins in his hand. He didn't know how much money he had and whether he could afford these meat skewers.
"I want to buy so much."
He took out one of the silver coins. The boss glanced at it and then was stunned for a moment.
"One hundred star coins? Are you sure you want to buy fifty strings?"
Hearing this, Lars realized that what he was holding was a hundred face value star coins.
"No, no, I made a mistake. Three skewers are enough. What else do you want to eat, Madge?"
Lars quickly turned to look at Madge.
"Wait a minute, little brother, you? You don't know about star coins? You're a bit unfamiliar with it. Which number is it?"
The boss suddenly asked.
Lars felt something was wrong, and he pulled Madge back two steps.
"No, we are Stone people."
Madge suddenly wondered. Lars, who didn't want to reveal her identity, quickly covered her mouth. Many places reject outsiders, especially Stone. Although Stone has a particularly large immigrant population, its original residents reject them very much.
Lars, who is Aboriginal, knows this.
"Ah! Stone! It's actually Stone, so we are near Stone! Come on, come on! Sit down!! Come and tell us about things outside."
The boss suddenly said enthusiastically, which made Lars a little confused.
Finally, the boss treated them to a lot of food and filled the table. When the nearby stall owners heard that people from outside the city were coming, they also came over to watch the fun. Of course, they didn't come empty-handed, but brought one or two things to eat.
.
So Madge and Lars sat in front of a table of dishes.
The stall owners sat nearby and asked a lot of questions, such as what year it was, what happened to the Rus Empire, the king of the Rus Empire, and many other questions.
Lars couldn't answer that much, he just said what he knew.
When they heard about the destruction of the Ross Empire, they all shook their heads and sighed, looking pityful. But soon they returned to the state of asking questions, as if nothing had happened.
Just answering the questions made Lars' mouth dry. They were very curious and talked non-stop.
In this atmosphere, Lars gradually relaxed his tense heart and started discussing with these uncles.
"Speaking of which, uncle, why do you live with the demons?"
Finally, Madge asked the question that Lars had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
As soon as these words came out, the street vendors fell silent. During the discussion, Lars also understood that they deliberately avoided discussing some things, such as their origins.
They lowered their heads and laughed silently until the food stall owner said, "Because life goes on."
When he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that their actions were tantamount to betraying humanity.
"We thought we hated the demons, but in the end, we discovered that what we hated was war. After living for a while, we also discovered that these demons, like us, do not like war..."
The stall owner's words made Lars remember them deeply in his heart.
