Chapter 429: The Old Hunchback of Hongshi Village (updated update 7/7)
The boring problem that Cerrela complained about was solved after two days.
It's not that Grete's skills have improved by leaps and bounds or made significant progress. In fact, the level of communication between him and animals has gone from 0.5 seconds, to 1 second, to 1.5 seconds, to 2 seconds, and then it got stuck.
Either, the impact on the mind was too great, and he was knocked out of the spell-casting state. Or, he was in extreme fear, and under the pain, his heartbeat and blood pressure were soaring, and his whole body was shaking, and he was knocked out of the spell-casting state by Cerela...
Regardless of whether it is a magical attack or a physical attack, in short, relying on Gretel's current ability to communicate with animals, it may be impossible to conduct research smoothly for the time being.
Fortunately, after two days' drive, the team of Gushan elders met up with a large team of people from another village. In the wilderness, cattle neighed, horses roared, wheels rolled, and the barbarians talked and laughed, making the whole sky full of noise. After chatting for a long time,
Elder Gushan took the elders and chiefs of that village and came over to introduce Gretel:
"Well, Gretel, this is the leader of Red Stone Village, [White Wolf] Wolfgen, this old guy, [Hunchback] Whitefin, is the spell caster of their village. Hunchback, this is Gretel Nordmark,
A servant of the God of Nature, a young genius healer."
Gretel quickly jumped down from the caravan and saluted them one by one. [White Wolf] As the name suggests, the Wulfgen people are tall and tall, carrying a huge sword, and covered with a white wolf skin. The wolf's mouth is open.
Open, the mandible was resting on top of his head, and the hind feet had just dragged to the ground. It was obvious that he was also a giant wolf in life. The wolf looked at Gretel with dark eyes and sharp teeth, which was a bit scary.
Gretel only glanced at it before turning his head and looking at the other one. [Hunchback] Whitefin had a high bulge on the back of his left back. His left shoulder was higher and his right shoulder was lower. The whole person was slightly tilted to the right. He was trembling.
Weiwei, holding a long white bone staff, Gretel took one look at him and muttered in his heart:
Scoliosis, fibroma, lipoma, hemangioma...
Even as he murmured, there was still no abnormality on his face, his eyes were clear and his expression was calm. Elder Gushan pulled the hunchback, pointed at Gretel and babbled:
"I fell ill at sea a few days ago and had a terrible stomachache. He cured me. Not only was he cured, he also said that there were worms in my bile. When I took out the bile, I found that there was indeed it! Then, he
He said that many people in our village had bugs in their stomachs, and he studied a method and cured us all..."
Grete showed them a smile that suited his age and status. In the North, it was hard to wear linen robes because of the cold. He quickly took out the oak staff, swayed it in the wind, and turned it into an eyebrow-level stick, leaning on the ground.
I don’t usually use this thing, so it’s really hard to think of it…
Seeing the five green leaves on the head of the staff, the faces of White Wolf and Hunchback instantly became friendly. Hunchback held the bone staff in one hand, and stretched out his other hand to shake hands with Gretel, even bending his waist and liver:
"Mr. Nordmark, it's an honor to meet you! Please take care of me along the way. My ability is limited. If there are any injuries in the team, I have to trouble you to take action..."
"Hey, you are an experienced elder, I want to ask you for advice!"
After the business exchange ended, Elder Gushan cautiously introduced Serira, saying only that she was an elf who traveled to the North and was traveling with Gretel. After chatting, the two parties parted, and Serira watched them leave from a distance.
Come on, I shouldn’t be able to hear the words here anymore. I turned my head and caught Gretel:
"Gretel! What's going on with that hunchback? Have you ever seen this kind of thing? Can you cure it?"
She spoke quickly and quickly, and a series of questions came out in rapid succession. Before the first one could answer, the next one immediately followed. Grete wanted to answer at first, but then simply shut up, and waited until Cerela
After asking the question, he smiled slightly:
"...I don't know either."
"How could you not know?!" Cerela suddenly shouted. How could Gretel not know? Gretel looked at the girl who was pregnant with a ghost, the bug in the guts of the barbarian elders.
, you will know after you touch it!
Her voice was so loud that the men and women around her, and even [White Wolf] Wolfgen, who had already walked away, turned to look at them. Grete quickly pulled her back into the car and whispered:
"I really don't know! I haven't checked it! Cerela, do you remember that before, I used magic to look and look again and again, and did it several times before I found out? That elder, I only knew it with him
I shook hands and said a few words, how do I know what's going on with him?"
"Oh... okay." Cerela pouted in disappointment. But soon, she cheered up again and held on to the shaft of the car to jump down:
"Then I'll pull him over! Let you check him out! Then you'll know! Grete! You also want to cure him, right?"
"do not!"
Grete jumped forward in the carriage, threw himself to the ground, and finally caught her in time. He lay on the carriage board, stretched out his arms as hard as he could, and grabbed Cerela's clothes, and said hurriedly:
"If he wants to be cured, let him do it on his own! There is no reason to drag people away! Don't go!"
"……Why?"
Cerira relaxed her body and slowly sat back in the carriage. She looked at Gretel up and down with confusion on her face as if she didn't recognize him:
"Why don't you let me drag him here? Grete, it's obvious that you never get bored every time you heal someone..."
"But that requires the patient to want to be treated." Grete climbed up from the carriage board, took two steps back to make room for her, and sat cross-legged. Seek medical treatment. You have to ask for medical treatment, not the doctor.
He rushed to the door and asked, "You are sick, do you want me to treat you?"
Seeing that Serila still looked confused, Grete thought for a while and said seriously:
"Celera, we healers provide help to patients, but never use our will to replace their will. Whether they want to be treated, whether they want to be treated, what treatment method to use, and how much to spend, they all need to make the final decision. The body
It belongs to them, and we cannot and cannot make the decision for them."
"But we are helping them!" Cerela said anxiously. She looked serious and a little aggrieved:
"How could it be wrong to help others?"
Ah, medical ethics is really difficult to explain to a silver dragon from another world. Gretel pondered for a moment:
"For example, Cerela, there is a king who is seriously ill and wants to live. There is no other way to save him but to resort to the Great Wishing Spell. However, the cost of the wishing spell will cost his family.
His wife and children sold all his citizens into slavery. So, if he gives up treatment at this time, can we forcefully activate the Great Wish Technique and then ask him for money?"
"Well……"
"So, in reality, the medical methods we adopt are actually like this." Grete lowered his head and used [Mage's Trick] to draw a circle on the floor of the carriage:
"This is the best medical treatment for this kind of injury," a red circle;
"This is the medical method that I, as a healer, can use. Of course I can't do those high-level treatments," a yellow circle;
"Then this one is the medical method that the patient wants to adopt based on his will and ability," a green circle. The three circles are in the shape of a Chinese character, and the very small part where the three overlap in the middle is painted eye-catchingly by Grete.
black:
"You see, this part is what we can actually do."
"It's so troublesome..." Cerira slowly lowered her head. Gretel also sighed secretly: In reality, there are too few things that doctors can do. Sometimes, the three large circles cannot even be merged together.
!
As a doctor back then, all he could do was try his best to study, research, and expand the scope of his abilities. Then, he looked up to the leaders and researchers in various fields, expecting them to expand the scope of treatment methods.
So a little bit...
There was silence in the carriage for a moment. Cerira looked down at the small piece in the center of the three large circles, and her heart was filled with panic. She was still about to say a few words, but far away from the carriage, there was a sudden loud bang.
call:
"Elder! Elder, what's wrong with you! Elder Gushan! Help!!!"
Grete suddenly pushed against the wall, jumped out of the carriage, and ran out without looking back.
"...and you still want people to come to the door themselves!"
