January 1078.

The winter in Ursas was even colder than expected, and Zhou Jinru wore thick clothes to make himself look no different from others.

He huffed, walked out of the house, got on his bike and went to work.

The neighbors are a young couple with a lovely daughter who pick up newspapers at the mailbox at the door every day at this time.

The little girl who was bouncing saw Zhou Jinru passing by the door, and said happily, "Good morning, uncle." ”

"How about you, little Luisa, are you going to school today?"

Luisa crossed her hands on her hips: "Of course not!" It's the weekend! ”

"That's great."

Zhou Jinru said goodbye to the little girl and continued on the road, he worked in a clinic in Chernobog, although the salary was not high, but it was very stable, and he was usually very leisurely.

The main thing is that here occasionally, infected people who have accidentally contracted the source stone disease are treated, and of course, this is a not-so-secret in Chernobog.

The Ursas Empire has always been strict with the infected, but when it comes to the grassroots level, there will always be omissions or artificially created loopholes.

Zhou Jinru believes that he is an upright person, and as a doctor, he should do his best for the patient's illness, and it is definitely not because every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, Kelsey volunteers here.

Definitely not!

When he arrived at the clinic, the door opened, and the woman was sweeping the snow at the door with a broom.

"You're late."

"There is a traffic jam on the road."

The broom stopped, and she looked at her watch: "It's 6:45 a.m., it's not yet the morning rush hour for work, and besides, can the traffic jam block the non-motorized lanes?" ”

Zhou Jinru parked his bicycle and didn't care about Kelsey's questioning at all, after walking such a long way, he always felt that this woman didn't seem to be as difficult to get along with as he imagined.

"Are you trying to ask me what happened on the road that is why I'm late? Thank you for your concern, I will already feel it. ”

The lynx's hand tightly grasped the long handle of the broom, and said word by word: "I, no, have, in, close, heart, you." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, where are we going today?"

Kelsey turned his head and said lightly: "Slums, the thirteenth infected person this month, they will soon be unable to hide it." ”

"You're worried that the military police in Chernobog will hurt them, so you're ready to carry out the transfer work?"

Zhou Jinru heard the implication of Kelsey's words, she was not discussing with herself, but had already made a decision.

But it takes a lot of courage to leave a mobile city with relatively complete infrastructure in the ice and snow, and many poor creatures who once thought they could survive have turned into a frozen corpse in the extremely cold wilderness.

"Okay, we're ready to go, who's going to drive the carriage?"

"Here you go."

Zhou Jinru nodded, and after saying a few words to the person in charge of the clinic, he pulled out the carriage from the stable, and he saw that two boxes of medical drugs had been placed in the carriage.

He climbed onto the frame and grabbed the reins, but Kelsey didn't get into the carriage and sat next to him.

"A lot of people are going to die this winter, you have to be careful."

Kelsey looked straight ahead, her side face was as good-looking as ever, and her beauty needed to be felt with her heart.

"Drive with your heart, your eyes should be on the road, not me."

"You're good-looking."

"Drive!"

Zhou Jinru immediately gathered his mind, who let Kelsey have the final say.

The horse-drawn carriage traveled from a road jammed with snow, the wheels rolled two deep marks, and the pedestrians around it gradually increased, unlike in the urban areas, the people of the slums had to work every day to make a living, and only work could buy food to feed their families.

The bustle of the city has nothing to do with them.

"It's so cold this winter that some people can't survive every day."

"I know."

They arrived at the designated place, and as the two doctors walked through the crisscrossed slums with medical kits, countless pairs of eyes fell on them through the cracks in the windows.

Their patient was a miner.

Zhou Jinru felt that no matter what era it was, miners were a high-risk occupation, especially in the land of Terra, and the probability of contracting source stone disease was hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary people.

"In this weather, the mine is still open?"

"Yes, as far as I know, almost all the warehouses in Chernobog where source stone raw materials are stacked are already full, and Boris has prepared a large amount of ore energy."

Zhou Jinru was silent, his actions aroused Kelsey's suspicions, looking at his face, the two looked at each other in silence.

"Something wrong with the mine?"

“……”

"Does this question concern me?"

“……”

"Boris is ready to forge a new business route?"

"Nope."

Kelsey nodded thoughtfully, "Thanks for the reminder, I see." ”

"I'm sorry."

"How's your condition?"

As the clock approached his active years, Zhou's own form became more and more precarious, and he spent most of his time resting, only showing a lighter side when facing Kelsey.

"It's not good, but I'm still going to hold on, maybe I'll find a solution soon, and I think we'd better not see each other again in the future, because the time is almost up."

Kelsey pursed his lips, gently pushed Zhou Jinru on his shoulder, and whispered: "After nearly a hundred years, you want to say this?" ”

"Otherwise, Kelsey, we two monsters should love each other, do you want to hear this, I can tell you every day, it's really ......"

"No thanks."

Pushing open the wooden door of the improvised shack, a choking steam of heat hits the face, and the people living here can barely use some combustible materials as a means of heating, but with it, the environment deteriorates further.

Kelsey is an expert in this area, she diagnoses and treats patients with skillful techniques, and Zhou Jinru can only help from the side.

"The situation is really bad, they can't stay in this mobile city anymore, and they are at risk of being sent to the ice farm to die at any time."

"You can figure it out, and I'll help you."

"Hmm."

On the way back, they agreed to visit together next Wednesday and send the infected person out of Chernoberg by this month at the latest.

"Watch out for Marquis Boris."

"I will."

After work, Zhou Jinru returned to his residence, and he prepared himself a loaf of bread, a pot of vegetable soup, and a piece of fried pork steak, which are completely in line with his current living conditions.

Just after the meal, there was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be a neighbor's visit.

"Mr. Four, Lilia and I are going back to the institute tomorrow, so I'm going to ask you to ...... next week"

The young couple, who had been working at the institute in Chernobog for a long time and had no time to take care of their families, initially entrusted little Luisa to an old man, who later died, and it happened that Zhou Jinru moved over, and after some consideration, decided to ask him.
