"Is this what you look like now?"
Mr. Fourth took off his helmet and mask. His face looked like it had been melted. The bright red flesh was exposed, and blood vessels and nerve tissue were vaguely visible.
Miss Yu was startled when she saw him for the first time. She then adjusted herself, fearing that her actions would hurt him.
"Yes, I used a force that I couldn't bear. This is the second time, but it seems better than the previous one. When my body adapts, this will not happen again."
It turns out that this is the case. No wonder Mr. Fourth is unwilling to show his true colors to others.
Miss Yu thought about it for a long time, but finally realized that there was nothing she could do to help. She was not a doctor, so she could only stand aside and watch.
"I want to study medicine in the future."
Zhou Jinru smiled and said: "Learning medicine is not as easy as you think. From my experience, colleagues who study medicine are generally better at fighting in addition to their medical skills."
Miss Yu asked doubtfully: "Can you fight?"
"They have to deal with all kinds of patients. If they can't fight, they may be hurt by the patients."
This seems to be the case, but Miss Yu always feels that something is wrong.
When Zhou Jinru put on the mask and helmet again, he took Miss Yu's hand and whispered: "Shall we move?"
They had lived in this wilderness town for seven years and it was time to leave.
and……
Zhou Jinru said again: "Didn't you discover something?"
"What?"
"Have I changed from what I was seven years ago?"
"Eh?!"
If you think about it carefully, apart from the fact that you can't see his face, his voice has almost not changed. Even if he works hard, his body shape will not be loose. In addition, he maintains strong energy. He doesn't look like a man in his thirties. .
Due to the lack of medical and living conditions, residents of wilderness towns rarely live to an advanced age, and most of them will look extremely old in their thirties.
Theoretically, Mr. Four should live a long life, but in this case...
Miss Yu's heart clenched again.
"Don't worry, leave the rest to me."
This time, she felt at ease.
…
The moving plan had been finalized, but before actually leaving, an unexpected accident happened.
Mr. Four rescued a dying little boy. He had been hungry for two days and walked aimlessly in the wilderness, almost becoming food for wild beasts.
In recent years, the neutral lands have been unstable. The war between Victoria and Gaul has intensified. Even Sargon was involved. The war was chaotic. In addition, the harvest was never very good. Everyone was having a hard time.
"I accidentally broke an earthen pot. My father was very angry. He beat me. Later, he told me to go to the woods outside the city to get the hoe that was left there. If you can't find it, don't come back. I didn't find it. I didn’t dare to go back, and then I got lost…”
After hearing this, Miss Yu completely understood, and her eyes were full of sympathy, because such a thing had happened in the town where she lived.
Families that cannot afford to raise children will use the same method to reduce their population, because the extra mouth becomes a heavy burden, and people who can't even maintain their lives have to make cruel choices.
Mr. Si has been helping people nearby for several years. Some have improved, while others have only relieved the stress a little.
His own strength is limited, and he has no like-minded partners, so this road is extremely difficult.
"May I have your name?"
The little boy who swallowed a mouthful of food said vaguely: "Henry, my name is Henry."
…
"You want to keep this child?"
Miss Yu looked at Zhou Jinru's back, feeling a little uneasy: "You are too busy, I hope you can have a helper."
Mr. Si is the best doctor in the town. No one disrespects him, and no one dares to disrespect him. Therefore, he is often taken care of in life, and he is usually very busy. He often has to work until late at night before coming back. If there is If you have a helper, you won't have to work so hard.
Miss Yu originally wanted to play the role of an assistant, but she was "fired" after she caught a cold and had a fever.
"Training a doctor requires more effort than you imagine, and I'm not sure whether Henry is willing to be a doctor." Zhou Jinru thought for a while, looked at Miss Yu's disappointed expression, and said softly, "I'll try my best to take him with me. , Henry is still a half-grown child, so he has to learn from the very basics.”
So starting from the next day, the townspeople discovered that Mr. Fourth had an apprentice beside him when he visited the doctor.
Another year has passed and they are finally moving.
Henry, who was sitting in the carriage, was carrying parcels of all sizes. The thin little boy had grown up a lot and looked at Mr. Fourth and Miss Yu in the other carriage.
They were going to a new place to settle down, and they heard that their destination was a mountain town in Victoria called Pingpan.
"According to the information I received, the new Sargon royal family has more expansion ambitions than expected. Even the rainforest will soon become Sargon's nominal territory. A war is about to break out. If they don't leave, they will be affected."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Regarding these matters, Miss Yu usually listens to Mr. Fourth. This man never messes around.
Zhou Jinru carried Miss Yu into the carriage and sat next to her, wondering if he was making history. Unexpectedly, the fourth gentleman living in seclusion in Pingpan turned out to be himself. Maybe this was the real history?
More than ten years have passed, and he has not shown any signs of aging and has always maintained his peak condition at the age of 25.
Moreover, he could vaguely feel that his body had become stronger. After this recovery, he was confident that his body would not collapse again after entering the defender state.
So, is he getting stronger bit by bit, or is he slowly returning to his original position?
…
The road to Pingpan was relatively smooth and there were not many obstacles.
That mountain city was different from what Zhou Jinru remembered. It was more prosperous and had a larger population. It seemed that it could remain strong for a while before Victoria's mobile city really rose to prominence.
Arriving in a relatively civilized world, Zhou Jinru sold a bag of gold coins given to him by Talaat, leaving only one as a souvenir.
He used the money to buy a piece of land, and invited a local construction team to start building his own Oia IV, and started working in his old profession, a doctor.
In the evening, the two of us went shopping together. The old woman at the vegetable shop was very enthusiastic and often asked you and me when you were going to have a baby.
It occasionally rains in the mountain town. They hold umbrellas and walk home.
As time passed, Henry grew up to be an older boy and took on his own last name, Eckert.
The night on Oia No. 4 was very quiet. Miss Yu was sitting in the rocking chair, holding a diary in her hand, smiling so brightly.
"Sir, do you still remember the first time we met?"
