Chapter 1 Discharge
In Bauhinia Market, in front of St. Louisiana's Hospital, two figures were talking in the shade of a big tree.
Ronald looked at his son who had just been told that he could be discharged from the hospital, and said with love in his eyes: "Since the fall was injured in the hospital, your mother is almost worried to death, and you must pay attention to safety next time you ride." ”
"Your mother and I are just one child, and before you make any more dangerous moves, you must think more about me and your mother!"
The young man who was advised was called Barry, but his surname was not Allen, but the extra two words "Adrian", whose ancestors were said to have been a glorious knightly family.
Listening to the teachings of his father, Ronald, Barry's mind wandered into the world.
When he woke up, he found that it was no longer his familiar rental house, the single room full of the smell of disinfectant water, and the arm hanging the bottle, all told him that he was in the hospital.
In the past few days, he not only accepted some of the memories left in the original owner's body, but also had a general understanding of the world.
This world is at a level similar to the Second Industrial Revolution of the original Earth. There are automobiles, there are airplanes, and there are thermal weapons such as guns and cannons, but they have not yet developed to the level of weapons of mass destruction.
However, the original body likes to read some cutting-edge science and technology magazines, and Barry seems to have searched for academic ideas similar to "Relativity" in his mind. I don't know if the atomic bomb is being invented.
The power of the countries in this world has also changed, and the once familiar five rogue states have disappeared and been replaced by some specious countries, and Barry now belongs to the Bauhinia City under the Lighthouse Federation.
Except for the difference in the environment of the place name, it is similar to the earth. People here have to receive quality education from an early age, from primary school, to middle school, to university, one step at a time.
He is currently studying at Bauhinia Noble Academy, and it is summer vacation, so he doesn't have to worry about going to school directly after being discharged from the hospital.
However, this is a good thing for Barry, who has been replaced by a new soul, which means that not too many people will pay attention to his subtle changes, and after a long time, Barry's changes will be considered natural changes by those around him.
Looking at the setting sun, Barry had to interrupt Ronald's earnest teachings and said, "Father, it's getting dark, and if you don't leave for the stop sign, you won't be able to catch the last bus soon." ”
Although Barry's family has a classic car, Ronald did not drive there today because the doctors in the hospital refused to allow the car to enter, believing that the exhaust fumes would pollute the air in the hospital and harm the health of some patients.
However, the hospital is located in the center of the city, and the bus routes that radiate the whole city have to pass by the hospital, so it is quite convenient to travel.
"Let's go to the station, the last bus in the city departs at six o'clock, and if you don't rush over, you can only try your luck and see if you can meet the coachman."
Barry walked out of the hospital gate first, and when he saw the crowd coming and going outside, a sense of difference arose, they were completely different from their black-haired and black-eyed compatriots in the former kingdom.
Following Ronald, who had just walked out of the hospital, Barry made his way to the bus stop next to the hospital. Also seen on Earth can only be seen in museums once ancient buses.
After paying each of them a copper nar, the father and son sat on the wooden seats on the bus, and the feeling along the way was not pleasant, and the bus without any shock absorption measures made Barry deeply understand the word bumps, and the potholes on the road also added a few twists and turns to this bumpy journey.
"It's been a bumpy ride, why can't the Federation fix the road properly," Ronald complained incessantly: "Next time I go out, I might as well drive my own car, and at most stop a little farther when I go to the hospital." ”
After a few rings of the doorbell, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the house.
Barry's home is a small detached bungalow, with two storeys in height, and although it is not as luxurious as a detached villa, it is definitely a good place to live for the middle class.
This is thanks to Ronald's salary, as a researcher of civilian technology products, because of his excellent standards and the stock of company awards, his salary is probably close to ten gold galleons per month, which is equivalent to 100,000 copper nars and 1,000 silver Cauchy.
However, due to the ease of carrying, the Federation mixed copper nar with silver, and silver cauchy with gold, and made five copper coins, ten copper coins, and five silver coins, and ten silver coins equivalent to most coins. I still remember wanting to issue paper money instead of metal money, but I gave up due to the opposition of the people.
The footsteps in the house were getting closer and clearer, and a middle-aged woman with a little knowledge opened the door, saw Ronald and Barry outside the door, and hugged Barry.
said in a caring tone: "Finally home, you are worried about the death of your mother in the past few days in the hospital." ”
This is Barry's mother, Mrs. Celine Brent, a gentle woman who usually runs the household at home and occasionally writes articles to earn some pocket money.
"Alright, Celine, let's go through the door first, you can hug Barry at home"
Ronald entered the room through a gap next to him, took off his suit and leather shoes, and replaced them with comfortable slippers.
"I went to see Barry today, and Dr. Calvin said that Barry was ready to be discharged, no major trouble, and in a few days he will be a great guy again."
Ronald said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"It's been a busy day today, and I'm so hungry now, haha, I smell apple pie."
Ronald walked faster, as if he couldn't wait to eat apple pie.
At this time, Barry was still being held by Celine, and in order to get out of this predicament, he had to say that he was also hungry and wanted to eat apple pie.
Listening to Barry's words, Mrs. Celine stopped holding Barry, but took Barry's hand and walked towards the house, and did not forget to show off.
"I was going to see you tomorrow morning to see what you brought you to eat, and today you were discharged from the hospital, just to eat some apple pie just out of the oven, you must know that mom is best at apple pie."
Seeing that he was immediately pulled into the house, Barry hurriedly said, "I haven't taken off my shoes yet, I'm going to stain the floor." ”
"Fill your stomach first, just after you are discharged from the hospital, improve your appetite first, the floor is dirty, and my mother will clean it."
Without saying a word, Madame Celine pulled Barry into the house.
By the time Barry could react, he was already sitting in a clean white room, eating a fluffy apple pie at a white table. The palm-sized cake is pale yellow and topped with white cream in the shape of a heart. With the aroma of green apple flavor, it will make you appetizing.
Father Ronald sat across the table, eating apple pie and flipping the salad on his plate over and over again.
"How do you know you're eating, Barry just got out of the hospital today, and you don't know how to pour him a glass of milk."
Celine complained to her husband, who was sitting there with a bite of apple pie.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it, and you go and bring the salad to Barry."
Ronald walked as he spoke, not forgetting an apple pie in his hand.
"Where has Huck gone, I've been running every day for the past few days, and I don't know how to go home until it's dark at night."
Huck is the Barry family's pet dog, the breed is a bit similar to the husky, the appearance is cool, and he has the highest IQ among dogs, but he will not tear down the house every day like his counterparts on the earth.
Huck was given to Barry by Barry's deceased grandfather, at that time Barry was not very harmonious with his classmates, and he had very little communication with people on weekdays, and his grandfather gave Huck to Barry in the hope of bringing joy to Barry, and Huck also lived up to his grandfather's expectations and added a little more vitality to the family.
"Huck hasn't come back yet, it's been coming back late these days, don't worry, I'll give him Huck's dinner and put it in the kennel later, and when he comes back, he'll eat it himself, and I'll not be hungry."
Because of his grandfather's relationship, Ronald values Huck very much, Celine also likes Hulke, and there is no shortage of food every day, and Huck has a good life.
"I'm full."
After eating seven or eight apple pies and a plate of vegetable salad, Barry rubbed his stomach and got up.
"Drink more milk, you just got out of the hospital and need milk to replenish your body."
Celine said at the table, for fear that Barry would not have enough nutrition.
"You go take a shower first, remember that the gauze on your head hasn't been removed, don't wet your hair, just wash your body, I'll put the milk on the table for you, wait for you to come out, remember to drink it."
I washed the sweat and dust off my body in the bathroom and changed into pajamas. Seeing Celine preparing food for Huck, she was about to go out to the yard and walk towards Huck's kennel,
"I took this glass of milk to my room and drank it slowly."
Barry walked slowly upstairs with the milk and said goodnight to Mrs. Celine, who was still cleaning up the room.
"Rest early, too."
