"Kakarot... What's wrong with you? What's going on with those bandages on your body?" Gine then noticed that the son in his arms was covered with bandages, and quickly loosened some of them, and nervously inspected Son Goku's body with his hands.
"Ah... I accidentally fell off the very high cliff over there and almost died. But I was lucky enough to survive, hahaha." Son Goku pointed at the steep cliff in the distance outside the window, raised his face and grinned at Gine.
"Ah? Fell off a cliff? Almost fell to death? Where are you injured? Let mom take a closer look... What's happening with this bump on your head? Why is it swollen like this!" Gine's whole face wrinkled up in distress, and his fingers very gently touched the edge of the big purple bump on Son Goku's head.
"Mom? Are you my mother?" Son Goku tilted his head to the other side, as if hearing this word for the first time.
"Kakarot... don't you even remember your mother? I am your mother." Gine was stunned on the spot, with an expression on his face as if something had shattered it from the inside.
In fact, not too long has passed since Kakarot was sent to the present, less than a year in total.
When Kakarot was sent away, this child clearly recognized her and Bardock. He was beating the bulkhead with his little hands in the transparent hatch of the spaceship, crying heartbrokenly. How could he forget them completely in less than a year.
"Are you my mother? I only have one grandfather, no mother." Son Goku stretched out his little finger and pointed at Gine, then pointed at himself, with an innocent look on his face.
"This child... didn't he fall and break his head?" Gine stretched out his hand and rubbed Son Goku's head very gently.
"It hurts..." Son Goku grimaced in pain again, and his little face wrinkled up.
Gine quickly retracted his hand and carefully pushed away the messy hair on the back of Son Goku's head. Only then did he realize that there was a high bulge there that was several times larger than the one on his forehead. A purple-purple swelling, and the surrounding skin was made shiny.
Gine was so distressed that she hugged Son Goku and burst into tears on the spot. Tears fell one drop after another on Son Goku's shabby little shirt.
Bardock also walked in from the outside at this time, his tall body slightly bent, and passed the wooden door that was too low for him.
He stood under the door frame, quietly watching the scene of his wife holding her son and crying bitterly. There was not much expression change on the face that was used to silence.
"Bardock... Come and take a look! My son fell on his head. There are two big bumps on his head and his whole body is injured. Is there a portable therapeutic device on our spaceship?" Gine turned back to Bardock and shouted eagerly.
"Yes... the standard small treatment fluid tank is in the back cabin of the spacecraft. Bring him over." Bardock nodded succinctly.
When he was standing in the yard just now, the thin wooden walls of this wooden house, which was not soundproof, had already transmitted all the conversations in the house to his ears without a word falling.
"Kakarot... Mom will take you to the spaceship to treat your injury. This treatment fluid is very effective. Your injury will heal quickly and it won't hurt at all." Gine said softly to Son Goku in his arms in as gentle a tone as possible.
"Huh? The man at the door looks like me!" Son Goku suddenly stretched out his little hand and pointed directly at Bardock standing at the door, with a surprised smile on his face.
"He is your father and I am your mother, so of course you two look alike... You will definitely be as handsome as him when you grow up." Gine followed Son Goku's fingers to look at her husband at the door, then looked back and stared at the child in her arms tenderly.
"Are you really my parents?" Son Goku scratched the back of his head, accidentally touched the big bump, and gritted his teeth in pain.
"Of course... look." Gine said, suddenly thinking of something.
She unrolled her tail that had been wrapped around her waist, dangled it flexibly in front of Son Goku, and tapped his nose lightly with the tip of her tail.
"Tail! You have a tail too! It's exactly the same as mine! Look, I have one too!" Son Goku's eyes were as wide as ever, and he was so excited that he almost jumped out of Gine's arms.
He quickly turned around, stretched out his equally fluffy little tail from the hem of his rag shirt, and shook it vigorously in the air several times.
"Not only does mom have a tail, dad also has a tail...Bardock, move your tail quickly and show it to your son." Gine hugged Son Goku and turned to give Bardock a look.
Bardock's mouth twitched very imperceptibly.
He was silent for a moment, and finally moved the brown tail behind him silently and very slightly, and then returned to stillness.
"Now do you believe it? All three of us have the same tail. This is the best proof that we are a family." Gine turned to Son Goku again, with a smile as warm as the warm spring sun that Planet Vegeta had experienced once in ten years.
"Well... I believe it. It turns out that I really have parents." Son Goku nodded heavily.
"Let's go, mom will take you to treatment." Gine picked up Son Goku and walked quickly out the door.
Bardock turned sideways to make way for the door.
Gine was afraid that he was not fast enough and would cause his son another second of pain if he delayed for a second longer. He simply took off directly into the air as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the wooden house, holding Son Goku in his arms and flew quickly towards the direction of the spacecraft.
Bardock followed slowly behind without saying a word.
Soon, Gine carried Son Goku into the medical area in the rear cabin of the spacecraft, and carefully placed him into the portable treatment tank that emitted soft blue light.
The transparent liquid therapeutic agent slowly spread over Son Goku's young body, which was covered with bandages. It began to take effect the moment it came into contact with the wound, and a cool and comfortable numbing sensation came from the fractures that had not yet healed.
"Kakarot, soak in here, put on this respirator mask, and rest with your eyes closed just like you usually do when sleeping. When you wake up, all the injuries on your body will be healed, and there will be no pain at all." Gine took out a small respirator mask specially designed for young children from the slot on the side of the bulkhead, and gently buckled it on Son Goku's nose.
"Hmm... This feels really comfortable and cool. My arms and legs don't hurt anymore. Mom, you're so kind." Son Goku nodded obediently and followed Gine's instructions to completely immerse his body in the treatment solution.
Sure enough, when his body was completely immersed in the light blue liquid, the severe pain throughout his body that had lasted for several days began to gradually subside at a speed that he could clearly feel.
"This kid... seems like he can't remember anything after hitting his head. He doesn't remember us, he doesn't remember Raditz, and maybe he doesn't even remember that he is a Saiyan. When we sent him away, he knew Ming was still so young, but he remembered our faces so clearly, but now he has completely forgotten it." Gine stood next to the treatment cabin, looking through the transparent bulkhead at his son who had gradually closed his eyes inside, with a bit of unsuppressible distress in his voice.
