In the intersection area between Cocoyasi Village and Nisa Village, two weird-shaped figures were walking on the road. One was a brown Fish-Man who was about two meters tall, and the other was a white Fish-Man who looked thin.
"Brother Thin Fish-man, Arlong is really bad-tempered. He would raze that Nisa Village to the ground at the slightest disagreement. We do have one less place to collect taxes."
"Who makes these stubborn humans not understand dignity and inferiority? They are obviously just a lowly race, but they think they can go against our noble Fish-Man. Fat Fish-man, don't you sympathize with them?"
"Don't make such useless jokes! How can I sympathize with humans? They are just tools for us to make money."
While the two were talking casually, there was a movement in the grass in front of them, and fallen leaves fell from the tree trunks next to the grass.
The two people's eyes fell on the grass in confusion, then they looked at each other, picked up the machete behind their backs, and walked forward lightly.
Ten meters, five meters, getting closer...
Fat Fish-man's flippers stepped on the puddles on the ground, and the sound of splashing water was heard. Suddenly, the movement in the grass became louder, and two figures, one large and one small, flashed out and fled in a panic into the distance.
"Humans with bad intentions!!"
Thin Fish-man roared, quickened his pace and rushed forward. On this uneven and water-stained road, Fish-Man was able to move faster than humans. In just a few blinks, he caught up with the two frail figures. He held the machetes in his hands high in front of him and slashed hard at the female figure with light yellow hair.
Poof!!
A magnificent blood flower flashed in the rain.
Thin Fish-man The movement of his hand stopped suddenly at this moment. He reluctantly lowered his head and looked at the finger that penetrated his chest. As the finger was pulled out, he felt his life force continue to drain, and then he collapsed on the ground helplessly.
A section of the palm quickly retracted in the air and returned to Buggy's wrist.
He dragged Fat Fish-man, who had lost consciousness after being slashed on the back of the neck with his palm just now, and walked towards Kaya and Kalis, who were gasping for breath with solemn eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"Uncle Buggy... this girl is about to die. We have to send her to a medical clinic in another village..."
Kaya glanced at the girl in her arms whose condition was getting worse and worse, and looked up at Buggy anxiously, "Can you escort us to Cocoyasi Village?"
Buggy glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye and responded calmly, "Do you think you can really rely on the strength of others for your whole life? It's better to stumble and go smoothly sometimes."
"Yes... I understand..."
Kaya was stunned and didn't say much. He and Kalis on the side continued to rush forward. Their eyes became much firmer. Yes, you have to rely on your own strength. I will use my own strength to protect this life!
Looking at Kaya's retreating figure, Buggy pondered for a moment, dragging the fainting Fat Fish-man behind her.
Until they reached the entrance of Cocoyasi Village, Fish-Man was no longer seen along the way. Buggy no longer followed Kaya and continued to look for the lone prey.
Standing at the entrance of the village was a man with stitch marks all over his face and a windmill hat on his head, looking at the rainy scene in the distance.
Kaya ran up with the girl in his arms and asked anxiously, "Hello... Where is the medical center in the village?"
The man was stunned for a moment and looked down.
"Uncle Genzo..." Kalis saw a familiar face and quickly grabbed his arm, "Help my sister!"
"Kalis?" Genzo suddenly came to his senses and quickly scanned the situation in front of him, "Follow me!"
Genzo took the two of them and ran to the medical clinic in the center of the village. The medical clinic did not occupy a large area, but most of the medical equipment and medicines were complete. In this rural area, it was considered advanced.
"Nagao, come out quickly, there are patients here!!"
Genzo pushed open the door of the medical clinic and shouted towards the empty room.
"Doctor Nagao is not here. He went to Tangerine Grove. I heard that Nojiko was injured." Assistant Jerome walked out of the cubicle.
"Nojiko is injured?!" Genzo was shocked, and then said to Kaya, "You just go to Tangerine Grove with me, Nagao is there!"
Kaya's hands holding the little girl were already a little numb. The long journey made her very tired, but what made her even more nervous was the little girl's condition, so she followed closely behind Genzo.
The journey from the center of the village to Tangerine Grove on the outskirts of the village only took about ten minutes. There were signs of being plundered everywhere in the orange grove, and the orange leaves on the trees looked a little out of sorts.
"Nami!" Genzo had a bad premonition and walked into the hut with a heavy and anxious heart.
Looking at it, Nojiko was lying on the bed in a coma. Mikuru and Nami were sitting beside him worriedly, staring at Nojiko without blinking. Nagao was packing the medicine box feebly, with his back to the door.
Hearing the footsteps at the door, everyone turned their eyes to Genzo and the others. There was not much emotion on their faces. Only Mikuru was slightly surprised. How could the eldest lady in this villa appear here?
Genzo stared blankly at Nojiko on the bed, feeling like his heart was blocked by something, and his breathing was rapid, as if he could hardly breathe.
He did not forget the purpose of coming here now. "Nagao, these are the Kalis brothers and sisters of Nisa Village. Their illness is very serious. Take a look quickly!"
"Hey, good!"
Nagao quickly hugged the little girl in Kaya's arms and took her to the back room. Kaya and Kalis quickly followed.
After arriving in the back room, Nagao didn't waste much time. He took out his stethoscope and various medical tools and began to check the little girl's condition.
"Her condition is very bad. With such a weak body, you actually brought her all the way here..."
Nagao said incredulously while inspecting, "However, there seems to be a magical force fighting and growing in her body. If it weren't for this force, I'm afraid she would have died in such a heavy storm."
"Doctor, can she be saved?" Kaya asked in panic. This was her decision. If the little girl died because of her decision, her conscience would feel guilty for a long time. At this moment, she once again felt the psychological burden of being a decision-maker, shouldering the expectations and beliefs of others.
"She can still be saved. Her vitality is very strong. Leave it to me." Nagao nodded solemnly.
After hearing Nagao's words, Kaya lost all strength and almost fell to the ground. He quickly held on to the wooden frame beside him.
In the next hour, Nagao mixed herbs with different shapes and prepared the dosage of medicine, including the interval between each injection with a syringe and the content of oral herbs. Kaya, who was standing next to him, watched with concentration and kept it in mind. The concept of "doctor" gradually became clear.
"Take these three doses of herbal medicine once a day. She should wake up after three days." Nagao wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said out of breath. The two seriously injured patients this day have kept him busy until now.
The little girl's pale face gradually turned red under the influence of the drug, as if she had fallen asleep, and her expression became much more peaceful.
