270 Behind the scenes
readx;?“ You're just leaving?"
"Otherwise, how long do you expect me to stay?"
After spending two days at Roland's house, Ian decided to leave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his body has almost healed, and when he encounters Jimmy and them again, he will have the strength to fight if he is prepared. Although he didn't want to fight Jimmy, he wanted to know what was going on.
Roland pursed his lips, feeling a little dull. It must have been hard enough for someone to say a few words to him, but this man was about to leave.
"By the way, how do you cross the river, and where is the bridge?" said Ian.
"There is no bridge. Roland shook his head, "There used to be, and then it broke." ”
"Is there a boat? ”
"No, there isn't. ”
The corners of Ian's eyes twitched: "Are you kidding me, how can you cross without a boat or bridge? ”
"That's right. Roland nodded, "He's swimming over." ”
"Swim over?" Ian was stunned, "No. ”
"What else else?"
Ian looked at Roland as if he was manipulating him, and couldn't help but be even more depressed. The small river that separates the slum from the imperial capital city he went to see yesterday was dirty and smelly, and it was almost as good as the black rice porridge cooked by Roland. Some of the garbage in the water was thrown away I don't know how many years ago, and no one cleaned it up, so it was left there sinking or floating, emitting an unbearable stench.
Why is there such a place in the imperial capital, Ian doesn't understand.
Roland saw Ian's concerns and persuaded him: "Actually, you can't say swimming, that river is not very deep, the deepest place is to the chest, and there can't be more." It's just that there are a lot of puddles in the water, so be careful not to step on it. ”
"What happens if you step on it?"
"It's going to die. "In the past, there were often ignorant children who wanted to run over there to play, but they drowned. Later, the adults in the family were strict and did not let them pass. ”
Therefore, it is completely separated from the urban area of the imperial capital. Ian thought to himself.
"Isn't there a slightly safer way to cross the river?" Ian asked, still not wanting to give up.
Roland thought for a moment and walked out of the house without saying a word. Then, under Ian's puzzled gaze, a wooden board was brought in from the outside, a door panel to be exact, but it was broken.
"You use this thing to cross the river. Roland threw the door panel on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust, "For boating, it should be fine." ”
Ian looked at the tattered plank with some concern, but finally felt that it was better than crossing the river naked, so he nodded and agreed.
After the last meal of black rice porridge, Roland accompanied Ian and walked towards the river with the plank. Ian could see that he was a little reluctant, and although the two had only known each other for two days, Ian was probably the person who had spoken to him the most in the past two days. Oh no, it should be the second most people, and the first one is the one who has the most Ann.
Sensing his reluctance, Ian couldn't help it. If he leaves this time, he may never come here again, he still has so much to do, this is just a small foothold, not even a foothold.
"Take care. As he walked to the river, Ian said to Roland.
Roland tilted his head, then nodded, not saying anything more. In fact, although Roland is not yet an adult, he is still a little man, and the farewell between men has always been so simple. In a word, a hug doesn't actually need to be hugged, and Ian thinks it's quite weird for two men to hug each other.
Just as Ian was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a running gray figure out of his peripheral vision. If you look closely, it is Dr. Ann with a medicine box, who is trotting towards the river under the guidance of a woman.
Ian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"
This time it was a middle-aged man who was impaled in the stomach by a beam that suddenly collapsed. Blood and intestines flowed all over the ground, and his wife was anxious, crying and finding Dr. An, who didn't say a word, and rushed with the medicine box.
"Why did you put him outside the house?" Dr. An's face turned very bad at the sight of the injured man, "dragging his body without permission will cause him to lose more blood." ”
The woman was shocked and regretful: "He said that he didn't breathe much, and I thought it was too stuffy in the house, so I found someone to carry him outside." ”
Dr. An shook his head with a grim face, and did not say anything more, but waved his hand to disperse the people who had gathered around the injured to see the excitement. Then he quickly sat down next to the injured man and opened the medicine box.
Ian thought that might be how his robes turned gray.
"Uncle Orn is a good man. Roland looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground with a worried expression, "But don't let anything happen." ”
Ian looked at Orn's wound and shook his head, "It's hard. ”
It's not so much that it's hard, it's that it can't be saved. A big hole has been opened in the entire abdomen, and it is estimated that the abdomen is gone, so how can it be saved. It's just that Roland didn't agree with Ian's opinion, and glared at him angrily: "You don't talk nonsense, there is no disease that Dr. An can't cure." ”
"It's not a disease. ”
"Anyway, Dr. An will definitely be able to save him!" Roland said with great stubbornness.
Ian smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders, perhaps Dr. Ann weighed too much weight in Roland's heart, and he believed in him too much. Maybe Roland hasn't been exposed to death too much, so he doesn't want to believe that death is so close, but anyway, reality will soon hit Roland in the face, and it will hurt and swell.
No one could have prevented Orn's death, not even Dr. Ann.
So Ian didn't have to say anything at all, just watched quietly. It's just that to Ian's surprise, even though the injured person is already like this, Dr. An still has no intention of giving up, but is extremely serious about stopping the bleeding and applying medicine.
Anyway, he's a good doctor. Ian thought to himself. It's no wonder that they are loved by the people here.
Just as Ian was sighing, Doctor Ann suddenly took out a medicine bottle from the medicine box and poured out two red pills from the medicine bottle. Ian's expression turned from admiration to shock when he saw the pill.
How could he have such a thing?!
Roland watched Dr. Ann rescue nervously, not noticing Ian's inner change. Because they didn't know what the pill was in Doctor An's hand, they only cared if they could save Orn. But Ian knew, he knew too well the effects of that pill.
At this moment, Ian's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of two people who were rushing this way, and suddenly understood something while being shocked.
So, when Roland turned around again, Ian was no longer by his side.
