Early that morning, there was a knock on the door of He Wen's house. He got up from the ground with difficulty. He Wen, who had slept on the floor for two days, felt that his whole body was sore and his back hurt. It seemed that he had to take time to see a doctor today.
When he got up, He Wen found that the elf girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed next to her had now sat up, looking trembling.
He Wen also became alert. Could it be that he was someone from the underground black market?
Xia Liya didn't react at all and was still sleeping soundly. He Wen put on his coat and carefully walked to the door while holding a refined scalpel in his hand.
The moment he opened the door, he saw the mother of the child he had just undergone surgery.
thump.
The door just opened.
The woman immediately knelt down to He Wen.
"Dr. He Wen... I'm really sorry about what happened last time!"
The woman spoke.
He Wen quickly helped her up and took her into the house.
Since she didn't come here to blame herself, it proved that the child was fine, and she felt relieved.
"Doctor, thank you very much for saving Leya. I didn't understand your treatment methods at the time... and I thought you were a murderer."
After he left, those people regarded him as a perverted murderer who attacked children.
If the child hadn't quickly regained consciousness, I'm afraid the woman would have rushed to He Wen's home to hold him accountable.
"How is the child doing now?"
"He is awake and still resting, but according to the child himself, his body no longer hurts."
He Wen took out some prepared gauze and medicine from the old cabinet and handed them to the woman.
"This is anti-inflammatory medicine and clean gauze, which can help the wound heal quickly. The medicine will be changed every two days. I will remove the stitches after a month."
The woman thanked him profusely and took out a delicate cloth bag.
Needless to say, it contained gold coins, at least fifty.
He Wen did not refuse this time. This woman's family conditions are obviously much better than those of the previous couple. She is not a saint. She heals diseases and saves people, but she also needs to eat.
So this time he accepted the money bag, told the woman a few words to be careful not to let the child's wound open or become infected, and then sent her out.
When leaving, the woman saw the two girls on the bed. Not to mention that Shalia, whom she had met, was still sleeping at this time. When she saw the elf girl, the woman was stunned and looked at her with a strange look. He looked at the congratulations.
But she didn't say anything in the end.
He Wen didn't bother to explain to her. After she left, He Wen walked to the bed.
"It was too late yesterday, so I didn't ask more. Can you tell me your name?"
Xidelin was startled by his voice, and she immediately shrank back, trying to avoid his gaze, until her back was pressed against the wall and she could no longer retreat.
She looked at He Wen nervously, her eyes full of fear and begging for mercy.
"Don't be afraid. I told you that I won't do anything to you. I just want to know your name."
"...Shireen."
He Wen's comfort seemed to have some effect, and her voice was slightly louder than before, but it was still full of tension and uneasiness.
"Shirin, um, what are your plans next?"
The elf girl tilted her head slightly and looked at He Wen, seemingly not understanding the meaning of He Wen's words.
"Where is your home and where are your relatives?"
He Wen asked in several different ways, and finally the elf girl slowly lowered her head.
"No...yes, dad...mom, no, not here anymore."
Her eyes darkened and tears fell on the bed.
He Wen thought of the blond man, the girl Randall said last night, that he had captured this girl recently, as if he had captured a rabbit.
Then her family and clan members may have already...
He Wen sighed and raised his hand to touch the girl's hair.
"...I'm willing to do anything...Please, don't send me back...I, I eat very little, I can...don't eat ...I can still do many things...please..."
As if she was afraid that He Wen would send her back to the black market again, the girl actually started to take off her already very tattered clothes.
"Stop, stop!"
He Wen was anxious, why do girls in this world always take off their clothes?
She subconsciously glanced at Xia Liya, who was sleeping on the side, and found that she had woken up at some point. She was lying on the bed with her eyes open, looking at her with a mocking smile.
Finally, Shilin's mood was calmed down with great difficulty. He Wen felt that he was exhausted both physically and mentally early in the morning.
"If you don't mind, just stay here with me for now. Of course, you can also help me with some housework. Can you cook?"
He Wen asked.
Shireen nodded quickly.
"Yes...I, I am in the village, helping my parents at home, cooking."
Her human language is not fluent, but she has no problem with basic communication.
He Wen nodded.
She was about to go to Eve's house to change her dressing, so she told Shalia to take care of Shirin at home and then prepared to go out.
"I'm your maid, not a babysitter."
"...How do you look like a maid?"
After complaining, He Wen went out.
At this time, Shirin and Shalia, who were left at home, were like two left-behind children. At first, Shilin was a little afraid of Shalia, but after discovering that Shalia would not hurt her, she was not even interested in her. By then, she wasn't so scared anymore.
The elf girl began to tidy up the room spontaneously, wiping the floor and table spotless. Shalia really couldn't sit still.
She dragged Shireen out of the door.
Shirin was so frightened that she thought Shalia was going to harm her, so she tightly held on to the door frame.
"I'll take you to eat the same dessert you had yesterday."
"But...but...stay...at home, Master, say."
"It doesn't matter. Nothing will happen if I'm here. Also, you can't call him master. He is my master and will be my partner in the future. Do you understand?"
Seeing Shalia's cold eyes, Shirin was so frightened that she quickly nodded.
...
At the same time, in the princess's house.
"Randall? Why is Doctor Hewen suddenly interested in him? Do you want to change your job to become an adventurer?"
Today, Eve did not lie in bed to recuperate. Instead, she had changed into a close-fitting outfit that was easy to move around. From the sweat beads on her forehead and the sword at her waist, He Wen knew that this girl must have been practicing swordplay just now.
At this time, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, lifting up her top, while He Wen squatted aside to change her dressing.
"I have no interest in adventurers, but I think this kingdom's number one warrior seems quite powerful."
"Um......"
Originally, I just wanted to find out what the royal family members thought of this brave man.
Unexpectedly, Eve frowned slightly.
"Dr. He Wen, if possible, you'd better not ask about him."
He Wen's action of changing the dressing paused slightly. He raised his head and found that Princess Eve was also looking at him seriously.
"Randall Theodore, there is more to this man than he seems."
He Wen was silent for a long time, and then continued to change the dressing.
Princess Eve knew something, but she couldn't say more because of her own position. These words were already very explicit to tell He Wen that Randall had a problem.
"I see."
"By the way, Doctor He Wen, are you still secretly treating people recently?"
"After all, I am a doctor. If I don't treat illnesses, I'm of little use."
When He Wen finished changing the medicine and was about to leave, Eve stopped him.
"Dr. He Wen, you have to be careful lately..."
"Ahem."
Knight Lake's cough sounded at the door, and Eve immediately closed her mouth.
"What happened?"
"......nothing."
After He Wen left, the old knight walked into the princess's room and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty... don't take risks with your identity anymore."
"If you can't protect your own people, there's no point in using this identity."
With that said, Eve pulled out the sword from her waist, and the silver-white blade reflected the girl's determined eyes.
