Section 4: Seeking medical treatment
Alicia opened her tired eyes to a strange wooden ceiling, some shabby and some old. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The color of the info section is different from the others, so it should have been freshly painted. And in some corners, there are some wooden boards that play a role in reinforcing and reinforcing them, and looking at the color of the wood, it should have been bound recently.
The texture of the soft quilt came from the fingertips of the flat hands, and when I moved my body slightly, I immediately heard the unique "squeak" sound of the wooden bedboard. Realizing that she was lying on a wooden bed with a clean quilt, Alicia began to slowly pick up the fragments of memory in her mind, because she didn't quite remember why she was lying here now.
"Oh, are you awake?"
The voice of a young girl came to my ears, followed by the sound of objects crossing the water. Alicia turned her head to see a young girl in plain clothes, wring a white towel from the basin.
She wrung the towel out and dusted it twice, then folded it in half and walked to Alicia with two horns.
"I just wanted to wash your face, and you got up. Please close your eyes. ”
After realizing that the girl wanted to serve her to wash her face, Alicia hurriedly propped up her upper body on the bed and said:
"I'll just do it myself. ”
The girl was not polite, with a smile, and directly handed the towel to Alicia politely. Alicia said thank you and took the towel and put it on her face, the warm touch made her tiredness disappear a lot in the blink of an eye. After wiping it three times, Alicia handed the towel back to the girl who was still waiting. The girl took the towel and grinned and put it in the basin.
"Excuse me, here...... Where is it? Did you change my clothes for me?" Alicia was wearing only a blouse, while her brown leather armor and boots were on the hangers and shoe racks at the door.
"Don't you remember?" asked the girl, a little surprised.
"yes...... Sorry, I don't remember exactly. All Alicia remembers was that she carried Daron all the way down the Mount of the Necrons, and made her way to the smoke closest to the horizon. She couldn't remember how much distance she had traveled or how much time it had taken, but she only knew that when she had gone through this long journey, and finally saw the fields and the farmers, and saw the wisps of people, she had completely collapsed.
"You and one of the warriors fell at the entrance of our village at the beginning of the sun, and your father was seen by my father, who was out hunting, so I took you to our house first. ”
"Oh, thank you so much, may I ask your name?"
"You call me Melissa. ”
"Well, Melissa...... Miss, may I ask if the soldier who came with me is okay now?" Remembering that he had been seriously injured before Dalon, Alicia took him to work tirelessly day and night, just to find someone to heal him in time.
Melissa frowned, and said with a somewhat gloomy face:
"To be honest, that warrior is in a bad condition, were you attacked by monsters, how could you be so seriously injured?"
"How bad is it?" asked Alicia with an anxious face and an urgent voice.
The wounds had stopped bleeding and bandaged, but he had not yet woken up. His face was very dark, and he let out a few moans from time to time in his sleep, as if there was still a lot of pain in his body. Melissa reported truthfully, and Alicia hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"Where is he? I'm going to see him. With that, Alicia took off the leather armor from the hanger and quickly put it on.
"He's lying in my parents' room right now, you can change your clothes first, I'll wait for you at the door. With that, Melissa walked out with a washbasin with a towel in it.
Dressed and led by Melissa, Alicia walked through the cramped living room to another bedroom. In the bedroom stood a tall, burly man and a gentle woman, tending to a warrior on the bed with his bare upper body baring his muscles. The man in care was wrapped in bandages from shoulder to waist several times, and was unconscious on the bed, frowning in pain.
"Oh, you're finally awake. The tall, burly man spoke. When the gentle woman on the side heard this, she also stopped what she was doing and nodded at Alicia, with a soft smile on her face.
"These two are my father and my mother. Melissa introduced Alicia.
"Thank you two kind people for the rescue. As she spoke, Alicia bowed deeply.
"Where, where, with a gesture, you're welcome, girl. The woman's smile was kind, and she helped Alicia to her feet, and said, "You and your friend have worked so hard, what kind of danger did you encounter to make it like this?"
Alicia shook her head and said:
"We came down from the Mount of the Dead. ”
The man, the woman and the girl in the room all gasped in surprise, and the man asked in disbelief:
"Necromantic Mountain, is it the Necromantic Mountain, where did you go and come back alive?"
The woman also covered her mouth and looked up and down at Alicia, gasping and saying:
"That's a place where no one is allowed to enter, little girl, what are you doing where you have nothing to do?"
"Don't mention it. Alicia remembered what had happened on the Mount of the Dead, including the faces of Sid and the other soldiers before they died, and she couldn't help but feel a heart-wrenching pain.
"Hey~ Over the years, several girls between the ages of 10 and 16 have disappeared in our village, presumably all related to the Necronomicon Mountain. We also thought about moving, but our family was too poor, and this was the only place in this land suitable for us to live. I was so scared every day that I wouldn't see my Melissa one day. As she said this, tears began to fall. Melissa, who heard what her mother said, also looked very scared, with tears in her eyes, just imagining that she suddenly disappeared one day and woke up and was locked in a dark place, she couldn't help but want to cry. The tall, burly man let out a sigh and shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake out the delusions born of fear.
Looking at such a family, Alicia had some envy and loneliness on her face. This kind of family relationship of mutual consideration and mutual relationship is an emotion that Alicia can never experience again in her life. She lowered her head and sighed quietly, then raised her face and said with a smile:
"Uncle, aunt, I don't think you will have to worry about this matter in the future. ”
“??”
All three looked at Alicia in confusion, as if they didn't understand what Alicia meant.
"I mean, there will never be a girl going missing again, don't worry. ”
With undried tears in the gentle woman's eyes, she asked strangely:
"How do you know?"
"Hehe, because ...... In this world, there is no such thing as a necromantic mountain. Some brave warriors have already defeated the demon entrenched on that mountain. ”
Seeing Alicia's smile, the woman was startled again, and she asked again with disbelief:
"Really?"
"Well, I've seen it with my own eyes. ”
Seeing Alicia smiling and nodding, the woman was finally relieved, and she looked at her daughter, both of whom had a certain joy of relief in their eyes.
"Great, little girl, did you do it?" the tall, burly man made a bold assumption as he thought of the timing of the arrival of Alicia and the warrior and the wounds on the warrior's body.
"No, it's the brave 'Evrite' mercenary group, who have traded their lives for peace and happiness in the world. Thinking of the soldiers who died in the Mountain of the Dead, Alicia's voice gradually trembled, and her eyes were still a little moist, although she still had a smile on her face, "I also hope that you can remember that there is a man named Sid, who saved the future of thousands of young girls." ”
At this time, Alicia bowed her head sadly, and the woman stepped forward to support her with a sad expression, and gently patted her back with her hand.
"So...... My friend, is he still saved?" Crying and crying, Alicia still had to save Daron's life, otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do next.
"We can't heal this kind of injury at all. Alicia's disappointment was palpable when she said this, but the woman thought for a moment, and then said, "But don't worry, I know that there is a well-known physician in the neighboring town of Fermoran, and our family often sees him. If you ask him for help, maybe your companion will be saved. ”
"Great, I'll go now!" Alicia suddenly heard the news of a famous doctor nearby, and immediately felt as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and rushed to the bedside to help Talon to leave.
"Don't worry, girl, it's not a short distance to Fermoran Town, so why don't you let my daughter send you there." We have a big horse and a cart for carrying rice. Tie your friend to a cart and tie a rope to the saddle to use it as a carriage for the time being. The woman's suggestion was so natural that Alicia nodded her head. She then remembered that she and Darlon's horses were still stored in the stables of the previous town inn "Dream Country", because Darlon's injuries were more serious, so Alicia decided to leave it alone.
"Thank you for your kindness, can we leave now?" Alicia looked anxious, for Talon's pained look kept her from waiting any longer.
"Of course, my dear, go and get our horses and carts, and I'll go find a rope. Melissa, go get dressed in something lighter, easier to ride. The woman instructed.
The three of them went their separate ways, leaving Alicia alone in the room, and she carefully helped Daron to sit up, leaning him against the edge of the bed, and then picking up the clothes on the side to help him tie them. The touch of Darlon's muscles reached the palm of his hand, making Alicia's face hot. This is the first time she has dressed a man since she was born, and fortunately there is no one in this room now, otherwise she might be so ashamed that she will burn her face directly......
"Babbling~~" This is a horse in the prime of life, unlike Jennivale and the Black Whirlwind.
Melissa on the horse changed into a shirt, trousers, and boots, and dragged a four-wheeled cart behind her tail, on which Daron was tied. Afraid that he would get out of the car during the bumps, Alicia personally went into battle to tie up a few more pieces, and at this time Daron was like a prisoner being escorted, not a sick person......
Melissa took Alicia by the hand and pulled him onto the horse, waved goodbye to her parents, shouted "Drive!" and kicked the horse in the belly. The horses let out a "babbling~" cry, dragged the cart, and set off towards Fairmoreland, the town where the famous doctor is located.
