Chapter 21: The Thoughts of the City Lord
When Li Yiheng was escorted away by the guards, he saw Eric's mother talking to the city lord. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Castle Lord's face was impatient, and Eric's mother was very distressed, so she ignored the Castle Lord, and sat on the edge of the bed and held Eric's hand tightly.
The doctor was still cleaning Eric's wound, and sprinkled a bottle of white powder on Eric's knee, and the effect of the powder was so good that the wound stopped bleeding as soon as it was sprinkled. The doctor also did not bandage Eric's wounds, and took two bottles of powder and handed them to the butler.
"Doctor Locke, is this okay without bandaging?" the butler asked worriedly, taking the medicine from the doctor's hand. Dr. Locke is the best doctor in Voletu, and his medical skills are naturally trustworthy. But although the injury on Eric's leg was not serious, it was already inflamed after a toss, and if it was not bandaged, would it have any effect?
Dr. Locke shook his head, took the cloth towel handed by his assistant and wiped his hands, and replied, "The young master's wound is already inflamed, and if it is bandaged, it is not good to cover the wound with gauze, just remember to give him medicine every hour." Be careful not to touch anything else, let alone get wet. ”
"Good, good. The housekeeper hurriedly responded, "Do you need to take other medicines, such as anti-inflammatory?"
Doctor Locke looked at Eric and sighed, "The young master must not be able to take the medicine like this." This powder not only contains drugs to stop bleeding, but also anti-inflammatory ingredients, so just take the medicine on time. ”
"Good. The housekeeper looked at Eric on the bed, he looked like him now, not to mention taking medicine, whether he could drink water or not was a problem, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"
Doctor Locke touched Eric's forehead and said, "From now until this time tomorrow, you must pay special attention, the young master may have a fever, you should pay more attention, and go to me as soon as there is a situation." ”
As he spoke, Dr. Locke's assistant had already packed up and stood behind Dr. Locke with a medicine box. Doctor Locke saw that his assistant had packed up the medicine box, walked up to the city lord, and explained Eric's injury to the city lord, "City lord, the young master's injury is not serious, and the wound will be fine after a few days of rest and the wound will be reduced and healed." ”
The city lord's mind didn't seem to be on Eric now, and after listening to Dr. Locke's words, he nodded slightly and didn't speak.
Dr. Locke turned around to Eric's mother, "Don't worry too much, madam, the young master's injuries will heal soon." ”
Eric's mother took Eric's hand in one hand, covered her mouth with a handkerchief in the other and sobbed lowly, listened to Dr. Locke's words, and didn't say anything, just nodded at Dr. Locke.
Seeing this, the butler made a gesture and led Dr. Locke and his assistant out.
There was only a family of three left in the house, and no one else was present, and Eric's mother finally burst into tears, "Eric, don't do this, don't scare your mother......"
"Kavna, Eric will be fine. There were no outsiders present, and the city lord was no longer so restrained, sat down on the sofa, and said impatiently. He was distraught, and the cry of the city lord's wife made him even more irritable.
"Are you embarrassed to say?" the city lord's wife accused without looking back, "My son, I understand, you must have done something to make him so uncomfortable, look at what you have forced him to be." ”
The city lord did not discuss the matter of asking Eric to marry Carol, and the city lord's wife did not discuss it. The Lord's wife has never wanted the Lord's wife to interfere too much in Eric's affairs, especially in emotional matters. If the city lord's wife hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have delayed discussing the marriage with Arahan until now.
Speaking of which, Uratu is a democratic system, and the city chief will have some privileges during his tenure, but at the end of his term, he will become an ordinary citizen. The city lord personally went to interrogate the priest who was locked in the cell, and when he looked at the priest's situation in the cell, and then thought about his and the city's people's attitude towards the priest before, he suddenly became afraid.
When his term of office expires, all the privileges in his hands will cease to exist, and then, he will become an ordinary citizen again. It doesn't matter if you don't have a good house to live in and no good clothes to wear, and you have to work every day in exchange for daily food and clothing, this huge gap makes you feel unwilling when you think about it.
Therefore, the lord of the city decided to marry Arahand, so that with Arahan's support, even if he could not succeed him as lord of the city, Eric's chances of being elected would be greatly increased. At that time, as the father of the new city lord, he will naturally still be able to enjoy privileges, and he will not have to be an ordinary city citizen.
"I'm not here for our family, for the sake of making your life better, for Eric's future. Although it is a rebuttal, it is not a glorious thing after all.
The city lord's wife stood up suddenly, walked up to the city lord, and asked solemnly, "Sarhan, you tell me the truth, what did you do?"
"I ...... I didn't do anything. The lord replied, standing up in a panic and walking towards the door, "I still have to deal with the affairs of the Gaj, you can take care of Eric." ”
The wife of the city lord and the city lord have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, and they know the city lord very well, and the city lord's current appearance is clearly hiding something from her. Kafna hurried to the door, locked the door that had been closed, and stood in front of the door to look the city lord in the eyes, "Sarhan, the way you are now is telling me plainly what you have done. You can make it clear to me now, if you can't say it clearly, you don't have to go out of this door. ”
"What can I do?" The city lord still has a lot of respect for the city lord's wife, at most he is impatient, as long as the city lord's wife is serious about what she says, the city lord will still take what she says seriously. But now, he can't admit, "I really didn't do anything, I still have something to deal with, I really have to go." ”
"Mom. Eric's voice rang out low. The city lord's wife finally heard Eric speak, no longer paying attention to the city lord, stepped to the side of the bed in three steps and two steps, took Eric's hand and promised, "Good boy, mother is here." ”
The city lord was afraid that if Eric said about the marriage, the city lord's wife would blame herself again, so she hurriedly opened the door and hurried away. When I discussed it with Arahan, although I thought that the city lord's wife might not agree, but I thought that as long as Eric's was moved, the city lord's wife would not object, so I didn't care too much.
But as things stand, Eric wasn't very willing. Arahan had already made up his mind, and the city lord didn't want to go back to Arahand, so things had to go this way.
Eric has listened to the city lord since he was a child, so the city lord also thinks that he is unwilling to go along with his own wishes in the end, but it will take some time. As long as this time has passed, Eric will definitely compromise, and this matter will naturally be done.
So, now, the city lord has to hide for a while. Of course, it's the lady of the city lord.
Eric stared blankly at the city lord's wife, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak, and finally only said, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry." ”
"En'en ......" The city lord's wife listened to her son's words, and suddenly couldn't help herself, "Mom...... Know ......"
"Mom, I want to drink the fish soup you made, can you make me a bowl?" said Eric. He wanted to stay alone, but it was not good to ask the city lord's wife to go out directly, so he thought of such an excuse. Since childhood, whenever Eric is sick, the city lord's wife will make a bowl of thick fish soup for him to drink.
"Okay, you wait, mom will go. The Lord's Lady folded the quilt over Eric, avoiding his left leg, "You sleep for a while, Mom is ready to call you." ”
After saying that, the lady of the city lord gently kissed Eric on the forehead and left the room.
With the sound of the door closing, a tear fell from the corner of Eric's eye. Then, he rolled over and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps, all this is just a dream, and after a good night's sleep, it's all right.
In the cell, I don't know whether the city lord intended or not, Li Yiheng was locked up next door to the priest. Li Yiheng came to this cell once, and he followed Eric to visit Leci.
Although Lezi is a priest, he also grew up with Eric since childhood, and his love for many years is never fake. Although Letz did something that he didn't do to Eric, Eric didn't blame him, after all, he didn't really hurt himself.
When Eric visits Letz, in addition to apologizing to Eric, Letz only asks Eric to take care of the priest and must save the priest's life for him.
Li Yiheng felt that Leci's words were a little strange at that time, but he couldn't say what was strange. Now that I see the priest remembering, it is the sentence "keep the life of the priest for him" is strange, what does it mean to "keep the life of the priest for him"? Could it be that the life of the priest is his?
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these messy things, he raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, which was much worse than the place where Leci was held, not only secretive, but also guarded. Xiao Jian quietly burrowed into Li Yiheng's arms, poked his head out from time to time to take a look, and then retracted it.
Li Yiheng found a place to lie down and plan to sleep. No matter what the city owner does, he will never do it now, Li Yiheng is too lazy to guess, the mind of politicians is not something that can be guessed accurately, and it is not necessarily good to guess accurately.
The city lord came so suddenly, although it was a temporary idea, but it was by no means for no reason. Eric is not in a good condition, he can't save himself for the time being, and no matter how bad this place is, he has to stay first. is in a very xenophobic place, and Li Yiheng still has this psychological preparation.
The priest next door looked at Li Yiheng's leisurely appearance and smiled incomprehensibly, "You are so relieved, you can still be so comfortable in this kind of place." ”
"Not as wide as the priests. Li Yiheng lay on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the priest's words, he turned his back to the priest, and replied lazily, "I have harmed so many children, and I don't know if they like to travel in your dreams." ”
"Thank you for your concern. The priest was unimpressed by the ridicule in Li Yiheng's words, "But you better pay more attention to yourself." ”
Li Yiheng still turned his back to the priest and said lazily, "I won't bother the priest about my business." After all, I haven't done anything hurtful, and even if I did make any mistakes, it wasn't as serious as the priest's recklessness for human life. ”
The priest seemed to be choked up for a moment, and did not speak for a long time. After a while, the priest's voice sounded again, "It's true that you haven't done anything unreasonable, but you've been locked up here without doing it." It seems that your problem is not far behind compared to my carelessness of human life. ”
"There is a reminder from the priest. Li Yiheng tightened the clothes on his body, probably because it was too dark here, and he was sleepy, "I'm sleepy, I'm ready to sleep." Do you want to be with you, the priests?"
The priest seemed to be confused by Li Yiheng's casualness, and this time he did not speak again. Li Yiheng quickly fell asleep, and the little girl in his arms saw that he was asleep, and also found a comfortable position to sleep.
The city lord stood outside the cell, looked at Li Yiheng who was sleeping in the cell, and was angry, and raised his foot to kick a chair where the guard next to him was resting. Several guards stood in a row tremblingly, their heads bowed vigorously, and they did not dare to come out.
In a special environment, Li Yiheng did not fall asleep, and this movement had already woken him up. But now the situation is unknown, so it's better to pretend to sleep, maybe you can hear some news.
Sure enough, the city lord's voice rang out, "Look at it, the Gajie people are the Gajie people, they can sleep so peacefully when they cause trouble, and they don't care about the safety of Furatu at all." ”
Li Yiheng was speechless: How can I sleep and have anything to do with the safety of Muratu?
"It's just that we have caused so much trouble in Muratu, and we are embarrassed to sleep well. ”
"The Gajie people just don't know what to do, and they eat inside and out......"
The guards were busy echoing the city lord and expressing his position, although he was also upset for Li Yiheng in his heart, but after all, the city lord was the one who had the final say in Furatu, and he couldn't afford to offend.
"Hmph. The city lord turned around angrily and left, and the secretary behind him hurriedly chased after him, "City lord, let's not interrogate the Gajie people......?"
The city lord ignored the secretary behind him and hurried out of the cell. The secretary had no choice but to hold on to the documents in his arms and hurried to catch up.
When the city lord and secretary left, the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered while paying attention to the door, "Okay, what's the matter? If it weren't for the Gaj, we would still be kept in the dark by the priests, and I don't know how many children would have to be sacrificed." ”
"It's like, what kind of madness is this? ”
"Shhhh One of the guards interrupted the others and lowered his voice, "Don't you know what happened this morning? Have you forgotten what happened? The Gajay is standing next to the princess. ”
Someone soon remembered the situation, "You mean that the Gajs are in league with the Mantes?"
"I didn't say that. The guard who spoke before shook his head and denied, "I'm just talking about the facts." If you want me to say, the Gajs don't necessarily have to be with the Mantes, otherwise, why don't the Mantes take the Gajs with them? Wouldn't it be the same as harming them to leave the Gajs like this......?"
There was a sound of footsteps, and the guards stopped talking, stood back to their places, and stood up solemnly, just like they were not the ones who were talking about the city lord and Li Yiheng just now.
Li Yiheng listened to the words of the guards, and while thinking about the information in it, he pricked up his ears and listened to the footsteps outside, who could it be?
