In front of the two tall hotels was a parking lot with many carriages. There were merchants coming and going every minute. They were trading in the temporary market next to it. It was very lively, and the shouts of merchants could be heard everywhere. The merchants came from all over the world, so you could see many different clothes. For the people of Stone, they could tell where they came from by their clothes.
At this moment, a dirty young man carrying a dying girl on his back appeared. Compared to the well-dressed merchants, they seemed out of place. Everyone thought they were beggars.
"Boss, is there a doctor here?"
"Go, go, go! Don't disturb my business. "
The street vendor didn't even look at Raas. He just waved his hand and chased him away.
Raas frowned, gritted his teeth, and continued walking down the street.
Marge breathed heavily on his back. She was in so much pain that Raas couldn't help but quicken his steps.
"Boss, may I …"
"Go away! There's nothing for you here. "
"Boss, is there a doctor here?"
"No, no. Go, go, go!"
Raas asked the passersby, but no one was willing to help them. In this vast sea of people, he felt as if he was standing in a forbidden desert. He was lonely and helpless.
"I don't believe that there are no good people in this world. Marge, hang in there. I'll find you a doctor immediately."
He said to the girl behind him.
"Help! My sister can't hold on any longer! Please help us!"
Raas carried Marge on his back and knelt in front of a merchant driving a carriage. The merchant frowned and said, "What happened?"
"I don't know. She suddenly fainted."
The merchant got down from the carriage. He put his hand on Marge's face and opened her eyes to take a look. Raas saw hope and continued, "Please help us. She's my only family. I'm willing to do anything for you as long as you save my sister."
However, the merchant shook his head and said, "You have to find a doctor. The medicine in my carriage can't help you. She's very sick. You have to hurry."
Raas panicked and said, "Boss, do you know where a doctor is?"
The other party frowned and said, "I don't know either, little brother. I really want to help you, but … Sigh, there's nothing I can do. In this world, human lives are worthless. Doctors have been transferred to the front lines. It's impossible for there to be a doctor in a small place like this."
Raas sniffled and choked with sobs. "Then, then is there really no other way?"
The other party was also very distressed and showed a guilty expression. Then, he sighed and said, "Sigh, go and try your luck with the big boss. I can't say for sure."
"Then! Where is that big boss? "
Lars had a hopeful look in his eyes.
The merchant pointed in the direction of the two unique hotels.
The name of the inn was Inn. That was what was written on the signboard. Compared to the best inn in Stone City in the past, this inn was much worse, but for a place like this, it was already very good.
Raas came to the front of the hotel. There were two men in black guarding the door.
For the people of Stone City, they had an acquired fear of the men in black. After all, every child who grew up in Stone City had been threatened by their parents: If you don't listen, the men in black will take you away!
Moreover, the men in black were Arcath's subordinates. Everyone was afraid of Arcath and the men in black under him.
That was why Raas was afraid. The door of the hotel was open, but he didn't dare to approach. His feet seemed to be glued to the ground.
"Uh ~ Brother Raas, uh ~ cough, cough."
At this time, Machi, who was behind Raas, said something vague. He closed his eyes tightly, and the tears in his eyes were squeezed to the corners of his eyes. When he opened them again, there was a look of resolution in his eyes.
I will definitely cure you! Machi!
So he walked into the hotel. He felt the men in black's gaze. It made him shiver and all the hair on his body stand up.
But the other party didn't stop him. Raas entered the hotel. For some reason, the temperature inside was lower than outside. It was very comfortable and cool.
"The total is seven hundred dollars. Take care, sir. You're welcome to come again."
A voice came from the counter. A middle-aged man stood behind the counter with a smile. He wore decent clothes and looked very dignified.
When the customer left, he looked at Raas and Machi with a strange gaze. Then he said in a low voice, "Even beggars can stay in hotels."
Raas didn't feel good, but he didn't say anything. He just walked to the counter silently. He took a deep breath and finally raised his head. "Boss, please save my sister."
Plop.
He knelt down heavily on the wooden floor. Plus, he was carrying someone, so it must have been very painful.
The middle-aged man behind the counter was stunned. He quickly opened the door and walked out. "Hey, hey! What's wrong? Get up. "
"My sister is dying. Please save her. I'm willing to do anything for you."
He shouted loudly.
The middle-aged man frowned and looked troubled. He touched Machi's forehead.
"It's so serious."
He looked down at the floor and seemed to be anxious. In the end, he sighed and looked at the young man. "Get up quickly. Put her on the chair and let her lie down."
Hearing this, Raas looked hopeful. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss!"
"Hey! You! Get up quickly! I'm not the boss. I can't say if I can save her. I can only plead for you. "
The man said. Raas's heart sank even further when he heard that.
He put Machi on one of the chairs in the lobby for guests to rest. There were soft cushions on it and it was very comfortable.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to mind the dirty Machi lying on it at all. Just this alone made Raas very grateful.
"There's water here. I'll go talk to someone."
With that, he hurriedly went behind the wooden door behind the counter. Raas stayed by Machi's side and held her hand. There were only the two of them in the lobby.
Three to four minutes was longer than a whole day for Raas. Just then, a voice came. "What sick? We're not a hospital. We have no obligation to save these humans."
"Master Abby, please think of a way to save them. They're really pitiful."
"Abby, are you teaching me how to do things?"
"No, no, I'm just …"
"Shut up if you're not."
Just then, the door opened. The middle-aged man and a strange person with a mask appeared in front of Raas. Judging from the voice, the masked person was definitely a woman. But why was she wrapped so tightly?
She walked over and glanced at Raas and then at Machi who was lying on the chair.
"Master Abby."
"Alright, shut up Abby. I have eyes. I don't need you to tell me."
The person called Abby had a loud voice and didn't sound like someone from the upper class.
Raas didn't have a good impression of the person called Abby. He was in despair.
However, to his surprise, Abby suddenly squatted down and pulled Raas's hand away.
"Let go! Dirty boy, how many years have you not bathed? You stink. "
Raas was stunned. He saw Abby check Machi's condition. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Raas seemed to see white hair on Abby's hand.
"Let me say this first. I don't care if this stinky human lives or dies."
Abby suddenly stood up and said. Raas's heart skipped a beat and he almost fell to the ground.
"This … Master Abby."
"Take her inside. Don't leave her here. She'll be an eyesore."
Hearing this, Abby was overjoyed. She looked at Raas excitedly and said, "Hurry up and thank Master Abby!"
"Thank you, Master Abby!"
Raas knelt on the ground with a plop. His pants had a hole in his knee.
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and carry her inside."
After Abby finished speaking, she went back behind the door. After calling a few times, two people wearing the same clothes as her came out. They put Machi on a stretcher and carried her into the room.
Raas followed behind, but when he wanted to enter the door, he was pushed by Abby.
"Hey, you can't go in, dirty boy."
She said.
Raas found it strange and said, "Why? I have to stay by her side! I have to take care of her! "
"Take care of her?? You can only cause trouble. And from the looks of it, you must have no money on you. You can't even take care of yourself. "
Abby's words pierced Raas's heart. He took a step back and almost fell to the ground.
Just like that, he watched Ma Qi being brought in. He could only wait outside.
Abby patted the young man's shoulder and returned to work.
There were many customers and it could be said that there was an endless stream. The young man squatted in an inconspicuous corner. He buried his head in his arms and prayed in his heart.
After an unknown period of time, footsteps approached.
"Eat some."
He looked up and saw the uncle called Abby holding a long piece of bread in front of Raas.
Looking at the fresh bread, Raas had no appetite. He felt like his stomach was being squeezed by something.
"Take it. You're welcome."
Abby said.
"Thank … Thank you. I'll return the money to you."
The young man suddenly said.
Abby frowned slightly. He did not expect him to say that.
It was too similar. He was too similar to himself back in the day.
He went to the city to do business. After he lost all his money, he also had a similar experience.
However, he was lucky that he was alone back then. But that was also his sorrow.
The young man ate the noodles. Abby noticed that he only ate a few mouthfuls and then put the bread in his arms.
"Is it not good?"
Raas shook his head. His face was tense. "It's very good. I want to save it for Machi."
Abby laughed. "Don't worry. We'll starve her here. Oh, right. Where are you from?"
"Stone North City."
"Oh, you didn't go to the Empire?"
"They don't accept us."
Although he did not know the reason, Abby still lowered his head and sighed. He sat on the floor like the young man. The young man looked surprised.
"Sigh, how old are you?"
"Ten, sixteen."
Raas lied about his age. The minimum age to be hired here was sixteen. Almost no one below that age knew how to use them.
"Sixteen, sixteen. That's a good age."
Abby sighed. Raas did not know why.
"Boss, why don't I work for you? I'm willing to do anything! I can do any hard work. I don't need a salary. As long as Machi has enough to eat, that's enough. "
Raas suddenly said.
Hearing this, A 'Ji glanced at him. Then, he frowned and sighed. No one knew what he was thinking.
Raas was very nervous. The other party was obviously in a difficult position. He also knew that Abby was not the boss. He did not have much power.
Perhaps he had caused trouble for him.
However, he really did not want to risk his life picking up trash. He also did not want Machi and Yi Qi to be in such a dangerous place.
"Alright, I'll think of something. But there are some things you need to know."
Abby suddenly said.
Raas suddenly became excited. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Tell me. I'll remember it."
"Remember, when you see something, don't tell anyone. Just pretend that you didn't see it …"
Among them, that door was a place he could not enter.
"Yes, I will."
Raas said excitedly. He had finally found a job. In this world, having a job was better than anything else.
Abby brought him to the changing room in the hotel. He changed him into an old set of clothes and let him wash his hair.
Then, he would tell him where he could go and where he couldn't. Raas understood that there must be something hidden in a place with men in black. He just wanted to live, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to go to such a place.
There was still some time before dusk. Abby asked him to do some cleaning work such as sweeping and mopping the floor.
In the evening, Abby's man walked out of the door and said something to Abby. Abby's face turned pale after hearing it.
Raas, who was mopping the floor, felt very uncomfortable. He had a bad feeling, but he did not say anything. He just kept mopping the floor seriously.
In the end, Abby glanced at him and then went back behind the door.
Abby asked Raas to come over.
"You, your sister's condition has stabilized for now."
Raas breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. He could finally put down his worries.
"But … she hasn't recovered yet. It's a very difficult disease. Normal doctors can't do anything about it."
Raas immediately raised his head and looked at Abby.
Abby would never forget his eyes. There was a hint of despair in his eyes. It was a hopeless gaze, like a dying firework.
This young man would die.
Abby did not want this young man to die like this, so he gave him some hope.
"But there is a way to save her …"
Marge had been weak and sickly since she was young. She often needed to take medicine because she had a strange disease that could not be cured.
Yi Qi knew. As Marge's cousin, he had always known.
In front of the broken wall, there were many temporary tents. Many bonfires were burning there, and many people were sitting there. A group of people with weapons and hostile expressions were sitting in front of the bonfires. They were eating meat in big mouthfuls, and in places where the fire could not reach, there were some cages. Inside the cages were people in disheveled clothes.
Yi Qi sat in a corner, looking at the bonfire and eating meat.
