Chapter 12: The Physician Rock
In the medical hall, an elderly doctor handed three vials containing potions to Dugu Yi's hand and instructed, "Just wash the wound and apply these potions, and you will recover soon." ”
Dugu Yi took the medicine bottle and nodded faintly, and then turned to leave.
"Wait a minute. When the old doctor saw that Dugu Yi was leaving, he immediately stood up.
"As for the medicine, I'll already hand it over to your buddy when I walk in the door. Dugu Yi said without looking back.
"Hehe!" the old doctor shook his head and chuckled, "It's just that you are still a little unsteady when you walk, so I want my buddy to send you back." ”
"I don't bother with this, and I don't have a place to go back. Dugu Yi shook his head, the old doctor's attitude towards him was extremely kind from beginning to end, and he didn't only recognize money and not people like that guy, so Dugu Yi's impression of him was not bad, and his tone was a little polite.
"How could you not have a place to go back when you threw out a gold coin casually, even if it is an inn, there should be a place to live temporarily, right?" the old doctor looked at Dugu Yi suspiciously.
Dugu Yi shook his head again and raised his feet to step.
"If you really don't have anywhere to go, stay with me for now. ”
Hearing the sound, Dugu Yi, who had already walked to the door of the pharmacy, stopped and looked back at the old doctor, who also looked at him with a smile.
"Why do you want to do this?" said Dugu Yi, flicking the tattered clothes on his body gently. "You should also see that I have nothing but that gold coin, and I have nothing worth ......."
The old doctor interrupted Dugu Yi with a gentle wave of his hand, and sighed to himself: "I am young, but my vigilance is not small! Do you think I am greedy for you to keep you?"
"Isn't it?" Dugu Yi looked at the old doctor suspiciously, in his opinion, no one in this world would help him without asking for anything.
"I just want you to recover as soon as possible. The old doctor's gaze swept over Dugu Yi's body, and then said: "Where will you go after you leave here, if you are eroded by the cold wind again, then the injuries on your body will not heal without ten days and a half months." ”
"Ten days and a half moon......" Dugu Yi hesitated, he couldn't wait that long. Everyone else has been cultivating martial arts since he was a child, but he only got the exercises from Qin Qin a few days ago, so if he wants to surpass others, he must squeeze out time to fill in the previous gap in the future, and now there is no extra time for him to waste.
Seeing the hesitation on Dugu Yi's face, the old doctor continued: "If you stay, I will be able to make you move freely in just two days at most, and even the old diseases left in your body can be removed for you. ”
"Really?" Dugu Yi turned around quickly, the old doctor's words were too tempting.
"Of course it's true!" the old doctor smiled confidently, and added, "As you said, you have nothing, and what good can I get from lying to you." ”
Dugu Yi was silent for a while, and then asked, "Why do you want to take me in, a person of unknown origin?"
The old doctor sighed softly and walked over to Dugu Yi and stretched out his hand to him. "Actually...... I also have something to ask for, so come with me first. ”
Dugu Yi was pulled up by the old doctor before he could even say anything to refuse, and the matter had come to this point, Dugu Yi was not in a hurry to leave, and planned to see the situation first.
It didn't take long for Dugu Yi to be taken to the backyard by the old doctor, but the small courtyard was full of all kinds of wooden toys, wooden horses, seesaws, swings, etc., but why didn't they see their owners?
"Cher, Cher......" The old doctor's anxious but not worried voice resounded throughout the small courtyard.
"I'm here. A childish but somewhat dull voice came from under a blooming flowering tree.
Dugu Yi followed the prestige and saw a teenage girl sitting quietly on the grass with clear eyebrows leaning against the tree, looking up at the flowers and branches on the tree, her eyes did not move to this side because of the arrival of the old doctor.
"Her name is Cher, and she's my only granddaughter. The old doctor looked at the girl and said weakly to Dugu Yi: "Since her parents passed away, she has not been out of this courtyard again, except for a few words with me, no one else ...... She turned a blind eye, and for five years I tried all kinds of ways to get her along with different children, but ......"
At this point, Dugu Yi also knew the old doctor's purpose for keeping him, but helping this little girl open her heart was not something he could do.
"I'm not the right playmate for her. ”
"I ......"
Dugu Yi raised his hand to stop the old doctor who had just spoken, and then said: "I have lived alone for nine years now, to be honest, I don't even know what kind of words to say when I get along with people, and even for a period of time, I couldn't speak because I didn't talk to anyone, do you think I have the ability to make her better?"
"It is because of this experience that I have hope for you, and I think there must be something between you that can resonate, and that you have nowhere to go in this city of Dolon, no one to be with......"
"You're looking for the wrong person. Dugu Yi coldly dropped a sentence and turned to leave.
"Don't be angry just yet. The old doctor grabbed Dugu Yi's shoulder, who had taken two steps, and said sincerely: "I am not happy or glad for your experience, it is a past and fact that no one can change, I just hope you can use it to help me and my granddaughter." ”
"It's not angry. Dugu Yi shook his head with his back to the old doctor, and said, "You should have seen it before you came to this backyard, I don't have any extra time to stay here." ”
"Are you in a hurry? If I can do it, as long as you stay, I will definitely help you. The old doctor still refused to give up.
Hearing this, Dugu Yi took a deep breath, turned to look at the old doctor, and thought about it seriously. It might have been a good idea to stay here, not only to have a relatively stable place to live, but also to be able to teach himself to read and write...... Thinking like this, Dugu Yi looked at Xue'er under the flower tree again, the old man and the girl with a closed heart, this pair of grandchildren also looked really cute.
"I can't promise it will help her. ”
"This ......" The old doctor was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and almost burst into tears. "Thank you, I'm sure you can do it!"
"It's better not to get your hopes up. ”
"Cher, Cher. The old doctor didn't seem to hear Dugu Yi's words, and waved at Xue'er vigorously. "Come here!"
It was only at this time that Xue'er under the flower tree slowly stood up and walked over without saying a word.
"Xue'er, this is ......" The old doctor wanted to introduce the young man around Xue'er, but found that he didn't even know his name.
"Lonely and Alone. Dugu Yi said to the girl herself.
"My name is Iwanaka. The old doctor nodded to Dugu Yi, turned to Xue'er again, and said, "This is Dugu Yi, who will live with us from today onwards, and Xue'er will treat him as a brother, you know?"
Xue'er looked at Dugu Yi for a while before nodding her head lightly, and asked softly, "Doesn't it hurt?"
"At least you can stand firm. ”
When Yanzhong heard the conversation between the two, he remembered Dugu Yi's injury.
"I'm sorry, I was so happy that I forgot that you still have injuries. ”
Dugu Yi didn't make a sound.
Yanzhong smiled and hugged Dugu Yi, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to rest." ”
After Dugu Yi nodded faintly, Yanzhong led Xue'er and Dugu Yi to the wing room on the right side of the courtyard.
