]]]" Rockbell ...... Rockbell ...... What to say about Lockbell...... I've been walking for so long now, and I haven't even seen a ghost!! ”

After getting off the train station, Estes followed the instructions of the station attendant to the direction of the Rockbell house, but walked for a long, long time until the city disappeared, the asphalt road became a dirt road, the street lamps and the people all disappeared, and Estes did not find the Rockbell house.

"Damn it...... What a carelessness...... I knew that I would have had breakfast at the train station and then continue to look for it, and now I am in this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back......"

As he walked, Estes felt more and more that his body was getting heavier and heavier, his body and stomach began to strike, and the feeling of exhaustion hit his limbs and brain.

"I'm going to starve...... I'm going to starve to death...... ...... in this deserted place"

At this time, the scenery in the field is so charming, the scenery in front of you is so beautiful, not far from the small hill a red and white two-storey house isolated on the hill, next to a tree taller than the house. White fences, green grass and blue skies, cool and pleasant temperatures, white clouds in the sky are the weather that Estes usually likes very much, but now ......

"Gollum—"

Call the police, Estes' stomach has been issued a red alert

"Poof."

It's like this every time, as long as the stomach starts to alarm, Estes's thighs will be weak within half an hour, and he will get faint within two hours if he kneels on the ground within an hour.

Estes, who has high combat effectiveness, also has such a weakness that makes people speechless. Estes, the Big-Eater, is actually a foodie who is surprisingly in need of adequate supplies, and if he is hungry and doesn't eat like he is now......

"Can't get up...... If you don't eat......"

Three hours later, Estes, who still hadn't found the Nepalese mansion, collapsed and fainted. In front of me were teddy bears, doll snacks, candies and chocolate chip cookies that I had bought for Dr. Sarah, a little girl she had never met.

The large and small baggage and bags, plus the things Sarah brought back from Estes before, add up to dozens of pounds.

Looking at the biscuits, chocolates and various fruit candies in the packaging bag in front of him, the little stars in Estes's eyes were rising on the ground, and saliva flowed out from the corners of his mouth that touched the ground without any restraint, forming a small river on the path.

The fruits, candies and chocolates that were close at hand seemed to come to life in front of Estes's eyes, swaying back and forth in front of Estes's eyes, tempting and seducing Estes.

"Eat a pack...... There should be no problem, right? ”

Thinking about it, his greedy hand grabbed the sugar jar in the bag, and when his hand was about to reach the sugar jar, Estes finally controlled himself.

"No! Can't eat! ”

Although he was very hungry and almost starved, Estes finally used reason to defeat instinct.

Putting the food in front of her in Wen Li's hands was something that Estes had decided before he came.

After getting the package, Estes just sniffed it out what Sarah was talking about as a 'gift for the child'.

Butter cake - a very ordinary Ishbal-style snack made with cooked butter and sugar and salt.

It is very common in Ishbal.

The weight of the pad, that is, the appearance of only two or three pounds, plus two letters from home, this is all that Sarah and Yuri brought to their daughter.

It's not that they don't want to bring something good for their daughter. It's that they really don't have any money.

It stands to reason that in times of war, a doctor, especially a surgeon, should be very wealthy, but that refers to the kind of people who work for the government, and the kind of volunteers like the Lockbells who volunteer to treat the Ishbals are unlikely to receive government allowances, but what about the Ishbals?

Not to mention, after a few months in Ishbal, Estes knew too well that the Ishbal people had no money, absolutely no money, and that nine out of ten of those injured could not afford medical bills.

It is important to know that surgical procedures are not cost-free, surgical gloves, alcohol lamps. Disinfectants, antibiotics, sedatives, anesthetics, etc., etc., and that kind of stuff doesn't cost money? But the Ishbals had no money, so they had no choice but to pay the money in advance for the Lockbells.

In these years of war and riots, how expensive are medicines and medical supplies? Estes, who had been working in a pharmacy in the capital for a while, knew it all too well.

The Lockbells had invested their savings for several years in treating the Ishbars, but even that was a drop in the bucket for the city of Ishbal, where a large number of Ishbars were wounded every day, and the couple's savings were quickly depleted.

If it weren't for Estes's ruthless efforts to give them all the medicines in his pharmacy in the capital, I'm afraid that the two of them would not even have enough medicine for surgery now.

The rebels in the city would rather spend all their limited funds on high-priced weapons and ammunition than give the Lockbells a penny for their soldiers' medical treatment.

A box of ghee cakes was already the limit of what Sarah could afford, and Estes, who worked with them regularly for a while, knew their financial situation very well.

The food is worse than that of the average Ishbal, and the clothes are all old clothes, and Sister Sarah is still so young and beautiful, but she hasn't bought new clothes for three years.

"What if...... I can't even bear this hunger......"

Stiffening his body, he got up from the ground, gritting his teeth and not looking at the food in the bag. Estes pinched his thigh hard.

"What kind of Briguz Hunter Regiment is the leader?! What is Colonel Estes?! What kind of student is Sister Sarah?! A little hungry ......"

"Gollum-" "Poof." ”

Although I don't know what hunger has to do with whether or not I am an officer, at least the situation is very clear now - if you don't eat, you will still die.

The second alarm sounded, and the strength disappeared from Estes's body in an instant.

Estes, who had just struggled to his feet, fell to the ground again.

"But sure enough...... It's really not good to not eat and write......"

How long has it been? How long has it been since Estes had such a predicament? Remember the last time I was eight years old when I was too hungry to move in the snowy mountains of Briguz, right? Fortunately, I met the teacher at the time, otherwise I would have made a bad fuss and really explained it there.

So what is the way to set up grace this time?

"Anyway, if you don't have food, just eat something with organic protein first......

"Smack!"

Press your hands on the ground and draw the water veins in the ground upwards, so that the voids in the underground soil are filled with groundwater and then ......

"Come out! Hurry up and get me out! ”

In less than a few minutes, on the fertile soil of the lush lawn on the ground, countless fat and slippery earthworms emerged from the ground one after another.

Because the ground is full of groundwater, the earthworms can't breathe, so they all run to the surface to breathe.

"My feast! My protein! ”

Insects, a type of white meat, are green, easy to digest and rich in protein, and are the best food for survival in the wild.

Looking at the fat appearance of those earthworms on the grass, Estes's saliva was already dripping.

In less than half an hour, Estes, who is proficient in the way of survival in the wild, collected a whole large pot of fat earthworms.

At this time, there are two ways to deal with it, one is to wash and boil it and eat it hot, and the other is to ......

"Eat it directly! What are you waiting for?! As he spoke, he directly pressed his hand on the large basin to refine into a formation, and the earthworms in the basin turned into brown fresh meat sausages after a burst of light.

Looking at the oily and meaty basin of sausages in front of him, Estes couldn't wait anymore and grabbed the largest one and sent it to his mouth

"That...... Are you hungry? ”

"Huh?"

Before the sausage was in his mouth, he heard someone talking to him.

Looking sideways, there were two little boys about ten years old who seemed to have just returned from the field with a vegetable basket in their arms.

"What's the matter? Kids"

Temporarily putting down the sausage in his hand, Estes looked curiously at the two little ghosts in front of him, and stared at the two white and chubby teenagers with greedy eyes............ Those potatoes, radishes, vegetables, melons and fruits in his hand.

"If you don't mind, come to our house for a light meal first, it just so happens that we have collected a lot of vegetables today."

The little boy with the fur on his head as thin as a small antenna said, looking at the vegetables and potatoes he was holding in his hand, it seemed that there were indeed a lot of them.

"Our home is on the top of the hill, just a short walk away."

Pointing to the house on the hill, the antenna-headed boy looked very happy

"Thank you, since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than obey~"

Almost without hesitation, Estes readily agreed, after all, who would want to eat insect food if there was a normal meal? What's more, it's the raw one without seasoning?

"Then let's go, my name is Edward Eric, and this is my brother Alphonse. Is sister an alchemist? ”

While excitedly pulling Estes up the mountain, the two brothers introduced themselves and didn't forget to ask Estes' name

"My name is Ai...... Aisha, should ...... It's alchemy, but it'...... I'm actually a doctor. ”

God knows if these little kids will know the Rockbell family, Estes knew from a long time ago that the Rockbell people hated the military. But it doesn't matter if you talk about your own doctor and alchemist. When he launched the refining array and refining the sausage by himself just now, the two brothers probably also saw it, and there was no need to quibble.

"Sister is an alchemist? Or a doctor?! That...... That ......"

Hearing Estes's dual identity antenna, his head seemed to be even more excited, and the joy in his eyes was irrepressible.

"Does my sister know what can make ......?"

"Wait a minute, Eddard. You are in such a hurry to say......"

The antenna head was just about to say something, but the younger brother behind him, who seemed to be quieter than him, pulled his brother to his side and whispered something

"Well, yes, I'm really anxious."

Then the elder brother thought for a moment and agreed

What are these two imps plotting about? Any thoughts? Does it have anything to do with me being a doctor or an alchemist?

"Gollum—"

“…………”

What a shame, in front of two little imps...... But I'm really interesting, what do you want to do at this time? Let's think about how to fill my stomach first.

"Hey, kid, do you have enough food in your house? I have a big appetite. ”

Now it's a matter of eating a full stomach first, and then it's time to find the Rockbell Mansion.

"Uh-huh~ Of course it's enough~ We have a big vegetable garden at home, and now when it's time for the official harvest, don't say one person, ten people are enough to eat~"

Is it? That's good, because ten people are just enough for Estes to eat

Let's talk about the rest when we're full.
