Chapter 57: Treating the Wounded

Ace Continent, Sophia Kingdom, Oia Town.

It was the first time for Lanko to hear about this tragic experience, and he was indeed quite uncomfortable in his heart, the current girl was even more miserable and desperate than his previous self, but it is likely that such a thing happens every day in the Sophia Kingdom and even the entire continent, because the nobles always have resources and power, and the commoners do not have any upward channel, and this kind of thing is not because of the lack of sympathy of the people around them, not because all the people are just alone, it is not anyone's fault.

Here, everyone's life is quite difficult, they have nothing extra to use to help others, if they want to help others, then they have to save their share, maybe just this is a great sacrifice for those who live in this place, and because all people know quite well that once they suffer such a fate, they cannot hope for the help of others except for self-liberation, so when they see that others need help, Everyone became quite apathetic. In this way, when they need help from others, no one will stand up to help them, this is the life rules of this continent A simple and indifferent life rule, Lan Ke thought a lot, but he was also helpless, rules are rules, there is no way to change them, they can only obey.

It is also by changing himself and conforming to the rules that he has the current vitality, otherwise he must be cannon fodder in the Viscount Landi Mansion, a tool that exists to meet the purpose of those who are in power, and can only be used and create value, simple and crude.

Lan Ke took out 10 gold coins and gave them to the girl and said, "You take it and use it first, wait for me downstairs tomorrow morning, and take me to your father's place when I wake up, maybe I can help." ”

The girl took 10 gold coins, carefully wiped these gold coins, her mother worked hard every day, and there were only 5,000 copper coins a month, the girl didn't know that Lanke had hundreds of thousands of purple diamond coins, and she didn't give more than she was afraid of bringing danger to the girl, after all, she still understood the truth of her guilt.

The girl knelt down and said, "Thank you, as long as the adult saves my father, I am willing to be a slave and a concubine." ”

Lan Ke picked up the girl and said, "Later, I'll rest, wait for me downstairs tomorrow morning." ”

The girl nodded, and hurriedly ran downstairs with the gold coin, ready to buy some medicine for her father's treatment, and also to buy some food to improve the nutrition of her mother and herself.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, early in the morning, Lan Ke woke up naturally, opened the window on the other side, and saw the slum downstairs, speechless for a long time.

In the light of the morning sun, it should be hope and vitality, but looking out the window, on the slope of a hill that slopes upward, the layers are close to each other and the shabby bungalows. The bungalows were made of a variety of materials, in a variety of shapes, some of wood, some of stone, some of broken bricks, and the most rudimentary of them were all made of thatch.

From the window, these colorful and strange houses seem to be covered with all kinds of patches on the hillside.

Lan Ke looked at these humble slums, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart, these poor people were in precarious life, doing the heaviest and most tiring work, living in the most dilapidated places, eating the most smelly and dirty food, and their lives were even worse than those slaves depicted in ancient works. The people who live there are arguably at the bottom of society. Looking at the narrow and dark roads like a labyrinth in the slums, looking at the people who move slowly in the slums. Those who are lifeless and scrawny. For the first time, Lanko felt sad for others, but he couldn't do anything about the situation in front of him. He is not capable of helping any of them, and maybe, he can give them some food, or even some money, but what is the point of that? Can I help these people forever? For these poor people, can a full meal get them out of the sea of misery?

After Lan Ke washed up, he opened the window on the other side, looking at the blue sea and blue sky outside the window, Lan Ke took a deep breath, and then went out.

Downstairs, last night's girl sat on the ground early, saw Lan Ke open the door, stood up with a brush, and then looked at Lan Ke nervously.

Lanko nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

The air outside the hotel is exceptionally fresh, this is a beautiful town, the blue and white houses decorate this town very beautifully, it is hard to imagine the existence of slums in such a beautiful place.

Stepping on the fishermen's living area full of debris and stones, and the road surface is uneven, Lanke immediately felt a fishy smell coming to him, the civilians in the slums are basically begging for a living on fishing boats, and the edge is close to the road, there are ponds everywhere for sorting fish, and there are piles of dead fish on the side of the pond emitting a foul smell, Lanke covers his nose and walks quickly.

Everything around the slums, the land, the shrubs, the weeds, the houses, and even the air, was covered in a fishy color like ink.

The dead fish decayed quickly in the hot weather to form pus, and the moist air caused the dark putrid stench to turn into a dark river flowing everywhere. In some low-lying areas, these rivers converge into pools of black pools.

Lanko walked on the dark gravel piles rather cautiously, trying not to let the black fishy stain her clothes, and the girl was obviously used to the environment, and she walked straight ahead.

Finally Lanko gave up the futile effort, and his trouser legs were already stained with sporadic ink.

The presence of people who were out of step with the environment of the place was quite strange to the people around him, even though strangers often came to this fishermen's quarter, but those people were either here to buy fish or to supervise the fishermen's work. But Lanko clearly does not belong to either of these two groups.

Although ordinary civilians have not seen much of the big market, they also know how to judge a person's status by their behavior and clothing. Of course, their knowledge is far from being comparable to that of people who open hotels and do business, but the identity of the people who come can always be distinguished. In particular, the appearance of Lan Ke in this place in a magic robe can't help but make those civilians feel strange, these people have never seen a magician in their lives, magicians are all legendary beings, that is a group of people with superpowers. The ridiculous actions of this noble lord just now also show that this person will definitely not live here, and it can even be said that he will not live in this class. What's more, there were a few people among those civilians who had seen a little bit of the market, and they told those around them that Lan Ke was obviously a nobleman, and through the knowledge of the magic robe, this should be a magician.

However, those fishermen really didn't understand, what did the nobles do in this place? As a result, more and more fishermen stopped what they were doing and moved closer in this direction. Lanko followed the tail of the large group of fishermen and came to the maiden's house.

This is clearly a place where civilians live. On the hillside were rows of low-lying houses, each one as thick as the others, covered with a layer of gray. The girl led Lanko into one of the rows of low rooms, and walked to the door of a low room near the middle, and the girl stood still, she gently pushed the door open, and Lanko followed the girl into the room.

As soon as I walked into the room, a foul smell hit my nose.

At the very back of the room lay a man curled up in a ball, with a pale face, his legs bandaged in a thick coarse cloth. The coarse cloth was stained with some blood. It seems that this man is the father of the girl.

"Eva, who is this?" A woman dressed in fancy clothes walked out and looked at the girl suspiciously.

"Mother, this is a magician, who can heal my father."

"Magician? Was it sent by God? The woman looked at Lanko and said reverently.

Lan Ke frowned and said, "I'll check the injured?" ”

"My lord, I'll open the strip of cloth for fear of staining your hands." The girl walked up to her father and carefully opened the coarse cloth on her legs.

Lan Ke looked at the coarse cloth that was stained and speechless, such hygiene can only aggravate the condition, increase the probability of suppuration and inflammation, once the wound worsens, only amputation can save life, according to the girl opened the stain on the coarse cloth, it has suppurated.

"This strip of cloth is too dirty, the wound is suppurated, the thighs are already black, the calves are swollen like this, and there is no way to treat them with ordinary medical treatment." Lanko covered his nose and looked at the wound and said.

When the woman heard Lan Ke's words, she looked at her husband lying on the ground blankly, and in order to save her husband, she used her hue to find a doctor in the town, and the doctor came to the door and said that there was no way to treat this disease, ordinary medicine, and could only sustain life, and only the magic of the Holy See had a chance or amputation, and the cost of amputation was also very high, and the rest of her life could only wait for death.

When the woman heard the doctor's words, the whole person collapsed to the ground, and she sacrificed so much, but the result was still incurable, the Holy See would not treat the civilians at all, and she tried it herself, but she couldn't even enter the door, and the doctor said that ordinary priests couldn't do it, to reach the level of a white cardinal, the entire Sophia Kingdom only had a white bishop in the Holy See of Aden City, and she had no ability at all, so the woman relied on her own body to maintain her husband's medicine, and lived one day at a time.
