Chapter 14: Fever
"It is said that the girl was gone when he arrived. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info guess it's a problem with the angle of view, I don't see where she's going. Shrugging his shoulders, Jeff said he didn't know: "He saw a girl being pulled by you to cast a spell, and he saw the ghost. So he shouted. ”
"Just because he shouted that voice, Lao Tzu almost hung up!" Canette protested in a daze, annoyed: "It's terrible to be interrupted when casting spells on ghosts!"
"That person doesn't know, so don't worry about it. Waving his hand, Jeff stroked his gray hair, his expression was quite casual: "Anyway, you have a cold, and you have a little fever." That's why when I heard that the guy I met during the day today was very sick, I was going to take you in. After all, you're so poor that you don't have much to live in, right?"
"Indeed...... Thank you very much. Still glancing at him gratefully, Canette, who felt dizzy, sighed: This person's character is really good, I misjudged him.
"By the way, do you see that you are sick?" Unexpectedly, Jeff suddenly asked: "The illness is really serious, and the high fever has not gone away...... But it's pretty good to look at you for a while. ”
Does he remember my casual nonsense...... Burned dizzy, Canette suddenly felt a wave of chagrin: Is this person serious?
"Well, I think I might have to take some medicine. He was so sick that Canette lost the energy he had when he first woke up, and he said weakly: "I'm going to die......
"Before midnight, I got a doctor to come and see you. Jeff's expression was deeply regretful: "It's a pity that the price of the medicine he prescribed is too high for me to pay, so I only prescribed a very ordinary medicine powder." You've been fed and fed. Because your condition is unstable, I didn't dare to sleep, so I boiled soup and waited for you to drink. ”
"You've been a poor guy for a long time......" Carnet shook his head helplessly, and felt a little relieved: this man has a really good heart. I only have a one-sided relationship with him, not to mention that it is still a bad fate.
"By the way, why is Al here?" "Canette looked at the Dire, who was munching on an apple with his affectionate eyes, and asked strangely, "Shouldn't it be in the stable?"
"She's worried about you, and she's not going to stay outside the house. Otherwise, we're going to kick people around, so I'm going to let her in. Hehe smiled, and the guard yawned: "She ate all my apples." ”
You're really generous.
Why didn't I see that this bastard cared about me...... Glancing at the Direhorse, Canette swallowed, "Al, the apple you ate looks good." Or I-"
"......" immediately showed an alarmed expression, and Al reached out of his hooves to protect the apple bowl and moved it out of the witcher's sight. Then, he took another bite and chewed on another apple, which clicked.
It means not to give...... Never mind. Canette glared at her, turned her head stupidly, and tucked her cane under the pillow: Lao Tzu didn't count on you in the first place.
"Anyway, you don't need me to feed you soup, right?" Jeff yawned and thumped his neck as he knocked on the soup bowl. If you have a fever, it is better to clear your stomach first, and it is better not to eat solid food. ”
"Why not porridge?" Taking the bowl, Canette clutched her rumbling stomach and habitually spit out while being moved: "Of the fluid foods, soup is the least hungry." ”
"Because I don't like to drink porridge, I don't have any materials at home. Jeff answered the question rather simply, leaving Canette at a loss for a moment: "Casual man."
...... And suddenly I didn't feel moved just now.
Burning a little unconscious, Canette looked at Al in a daze, and took a sip of the soup: it seemed to be beef bone broth, stewed white and thick.
"It is said that giving beef bone broth to a person with a fever will make him die faster. The guard rubbed his eyes and looked sleepy: "So I decided to give it to you." ”
"Hey!" Carnet glared at him in exasperation, and the guard hurriedly said that he was joking, and then changed the subject: "By the way, don't worry. We're sending someone to find out the girl's whereabouts, and the church has decided to help when they hear about an evil spirit being expelled from her body. There was no one in the shack where the child had been before, and he didn't know where his relatives had gone. ”
"What?church?" Canette suddenly remembered the girl's stumbling appearance and sighed, "...... That's fine. The church is very powerful, at least it is okay to find someone. ”
"Really...... I can see that you don't like the Holy See at all. Glancing lazily at Canette, Jeff's expression was smiling, "Well, I don't like it either." These bastards charge too high taxes, and they look like they are fake, always flaunting their justice. ”
"You don't say that like a guard. Canette glanced at him, took another sip of the soup bowl. The groggy brain was a little clear, and the witcher's palms were sweaty and shivering, but he almost didn't even hold the soup bowl.
My head is so hot...... Touching her forehead, Canette tried to move, only to find that her body was heavy, as if it had been filled with lead.
"Don't move, get a good rest. You, an outsider who couldn't help but get drenched in the rain, were soaked in the rain at the time, so it's no wonder if you didn't get sick. Pointing to the clothes that were being dried, the guard yawned tiredly again: "And your clothes are so wet that they look like they were fished out of the water." ”
"Uh...... Indeed it is. Recalling his experience of washing clothes in the creek, Canette's face flushed, and he felt that he was a second man: he shouldn't have been in such a hurry to wash his clothes.
I can fry eggs on my forehead...... Pinching her scalp, Canette took another sip of hot soup, only to choke and cough violently. The constant throbbing pain in his brain reminded him that he should just go down and rest. However, he braced himself on, forcing it not to fall asleep: what had happened before seemed a bit of a mess, and it needed to be sorted out.
Recalling the whole exorcism, Canette felt more and more vague doubts: what the hell is going on? This incident is definitely not over, but ...... But I don't know exactly where the violation is.
By the way, I haven't been to that house yet...... Thinking about it, Carnet's mind fell back to the room: it was necessary to go back and see. Most of the little girl's relatives were not in the house.
Today, there are three issues that the witchers are quite worried about.
First, where did the little girl's mother and sister go?
Second, the evil spirit is a man...... Does this have anything to do with the little girl's father?
Third...... Will I still have time to do the commission from Kalupol?
