On the way back, He Wen asked Shalia with some confusion what Eve had said to her to make it so mysterious.
But Shalia said it nonchalantly.
"It's nothing. She wants to compete with me, but she is too weak now. Even if her body returns to its best condition, she will not be my opponent."
"You can't tell, but this princess is quite strong."
Both of them completely misunderstood the meaning of Eve's words.
Just when they returned to He Wen's shabby little house in the slums, they found two people standing at the door.
It was already late at night, and the two hesitated at the door, only to find out when they approached He Wen.
Isn't this the same couple who came to see a doctor before?
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
He Wen said hello to them, which scared the two of them.
"He Wenmu...doctor! You are back!"
He Wen walked to them and opened the door and invited them into the house.
"We are here specifically to thank Dr. He Wen! My illness is cured! Your medicine is really amazing!"
Both men and women looked so excited that they must rush to the slums as soon as possible to tell He Wen the good news.
"I already know."
He Wen said calmly.
"Dr. He Wen, you, you knew a long time ago that I would definitely recover!? What a miracle!"
In fact, it is the power of modern science. The medicines redeemed from the system are scientific research medicines belonging to the future world. This cannot be overshadowed by miracles.
But now even if He Wen explains it to them, they can't understand it.
So I simply didn’t say anything.
After the two expressed their gratitude again, the man winked at the woman.
The woman seemed to be hesitant, so the man directly pulled a cloth bag from behind the woman and handed it to He Wen.
"What's this?"
He Wen was a little confused.
"This is... the cost of treatment. Don't be too short."
The man replied, and the woman lowered her head and spoke in a very weak voice.
"This...this is all the savings we can spare."
"What nonsense! Dr. He Wen saved my life! He is the savior of our family!"
The woman wanted to retort, but in the end she said nothing and lowered her head.
He Wen looked at the two of them. The man's hand handing over the money was still hanging in the air, with a smile on his face.
In the end, He Wen did not pick up the bag, but reached out to untie the cloth bag, selected five gold coins and five silver coins from the pile of gold coins and silver coins, and then pushed the man's hand back.
"That's enough."
The couple couldn't believe their eyes.
He Wen actually rejected the bag of money and only took out a few coins from it.
"How can this be done! Dr. He Wen, you are our family's savior! You..."
"Okay, I said my price is much cheaper than the church, but I advise you to change your working environment in the future. You also know that you are the backbone of the family. If you fail, who should your wife and children count on? Lao Wang next door ?”
The man was startled.
"Dr. He Wen! You are so powerful. You even know my neighbor's surname, Wang."
He Wen almost didn't punch this man. Should I say he has a big heart, or should I say he has no brains.
When finally sending the two of them away, the woman seemed to have something else to say, and He Wen saw it, so he spoke straightforwardly.
"Anything else?"
The man kept winking at the woman, but the woman finally couldn't help but say.
"He Wen...doctor, can you save our sister's child?"
...
After sending the couple away, He Wen stretched and returned to the room. Shalia still stood motionless. She had been there without saying a word since the couple arrived.
Now that He Wen was free, she spoke slowly.
"Why don't you take all the money?"
"I saved his life, how could I take away his other life."
"That's what he gave you willingly."
He Wen sighed, patted Shalia on the shoulder and said.
"I'm just a doctor, and it's my bounden duty to treat illnesses and save lives. You may think I'm a bit too hypocritical to say this, but to be honest, I'm still alive and have a second life, and I'm very satisfied if I can continue to treat illnesses and save lives. .”
Xia Liya didn't seem to understand, and He Wen didn't force it. Even humans might not be able to understand his behavior, so how could they expect a demon to understand him.
Because there was only one bed in the room, He Wen finally resisted Xia Liya's suggestion to sleep together.
He spread the spare blanket on the ground and lay down. Looking at the dilapidated ceiling, He Wen sighed.
Just now, the woman asked her to save a child, which was a normal thing, but the man said that the child's father was a Holy Cult guard, and if she went to see a doctor for him, she would probably be found out and arrested.
It seems that the man may have known his identity for a long time.
It's no wonder that his portraits have been plastered all over the streets these days. It's enough that he didn't retaliate against himself.
"Can't sleep?"
A girl's voice came from the bed. Perhaps hearing He Wen's sigh, the girl's face poked out from the bed.
"I can't sleep. There is suddenly a woman in the house. How can I sleep?"
"I am your partner, and it is natural to be with you."
"Not yet."
Xia Liya pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with He Wen's words.
"Xia Lia, let me ask you something. If you live long, give me some advice. If I go to save the child, I may be in danger, but if I don't save it, I will have uneasy conscience for the rest of my life. If It’s you, what would you choose?”
The demon girl didn't hesitate much, she simply leaned half of her body out of the bed.
"If you are asking about the demon clan, then I will not go. After the demon clan's children reach the age of three, they must leave their parents and live on their own. If they encounter danger and cannot survive, no one from the same clan will lend a helping hand, let alone Said he had to sacrifice himself.”
He Wen frowned slightly. It seemed that the demons were indeed a symbol of power in this continent. They treated children so harshly, let alone aliens. He must have asked the wrong person.
"But if you're asking a human..."
Shalia continued.
"Human beings are a race that needs to help each other to survive. If it makes you feel sad to not save others, then you should have the answer in your heart."
He Wen turned to look at the girl. In the darkness, the girl's eyes were still shining with the lavender light unique to the demon clan. Usually this light is relatively weak, so it is not noticed by others.
But now, in order to see things in the dark, the demon's eyes will passively produce magical effects, so now, her eyes look particularly charming.
"I understand, go to sleep."
"Want to have sex?"
"...Shut up and go to sleep."
...
The next day, He Wen wore a robe and a hood and went to the central city where the couple lived with Shalia.
After seeing He Wen, the man's face was filled with guilt.
"I'm really sorry, Doctor He Wen. It's all my fault. She made such a dangerous request to you."
The woman stood behind the man at this time, and seemed to realize how willful her words were, which might cost He Wen her life.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, where is the child? Take me there."
The man told He Wen.
The child was in the house next door, which belonged to his brother-in-law, who was also a guardian of the Holy Cult.
He Wen asked with some confusion.
"Since the child's father is a member of the Holy Religion, why doesn't the Holy Religion treat the child?"
The woman said with a choked voice.
"In the beginning... the priests of the Holy Church would come to see the child, but later the child's condition became unstable, and the Holy Church declared that the child was the reincarnation of the devil and must die, and asked my sister and brother-in-law to give up the child. .”
"Hey, my brother-in-law has devoted his whole life to the Holy Religion and is a loyal believer. He actually gave up the treatment of the child. However, the mother of the child refused to give up the child and continued to carry the child to the hospital every now and then. The Holy Religion asks for help, but the Holy Religion has recently banned her from entering."
He Wen snorted coldly.
"I'm afraid that some trainee priests came to take a look at it. They couldn't cure it and were afraid of ruining the reputation of themselves and the Holy Religion, so they made up such nonsense. This Holy Religion is really harmful to people."
Shalia, who had been silent all this time, lowered her head after hearing the Holy Cult's behavior and said in a weak voice.
"Holy religion, has it become like this?"
