A Beta boy working part-time in another world

"You're awake!" Daphne, who was responsible for delivering breakfast upstairs, screamed when she saw the boy on the bed wake up.

She put down the plate in her hand and ran downstairs.

"Mrs. Witch, the injured patient has woken up!"

Rex Syart frowned.

He lowered his head to check the injuries on his body, his expression dazed. The wounds had been carefully bandaged.

Some strange stuff was applied to the wound, it was very smelly and pungent.

At this time, the little girl who had just run out came back and walked in with a girl and a boy.

Rex was a little surprised by the two people with black hair and black eyes. They were foreigners.

"You're awake. Are you still feeling unwell?" Qin Xiang asked with a smile.

"who are you?"

"My name is Qin Xiang, he is my shop assistant Ye Sui, and he is the one who saved you. Your wounds are not healed yet, lie down and rest first."

Rex didn't take it seriously. He gritted his teeth, sat up from the bed, leaned against the wall and looked at the two of them.

"where am I?"

"In a bookstore in the slums of the royal capital."

Rex looked at this gentle and elegant woman. Although she had an alien appearance, her temperament was outstanding.

But upon closer inspection, she was very similar to those noble ladies, yet also a little different. The woman in front of him did not have the vanity of a noble lady.

"What's your name?" asked Ye Sui, who had been standing aside without saying a word.

"Rex Syat." Rex thought that if he gave his real name, the two men would show a flattering and hypocritical look.

He frowned and waited for a while, only to find that the two of them didn't react to his name.

He guessed in his heart that perhaps these two foreigners didn't know the Syat family at all, so they had no reaction after he told them his real name.

"Thank you." Rex thanked the two sincerely.

If these two strangers hadn't rescued him, he might have died outside due to untimely rescue.

It must be said that Laurent's men were extremely cruel. They found a few knights and beat him to death. It seemed that they hated him very much.

But so what?

Rex sneered in his heart, thinking that his cheap father valued him.

Even if Laurent dislikes him in every way, when he becomes the one in power in the future, the first people he will kill are those who have brought shame upon him.

After briefly understanding the stranger's situation, Qin Xiang left with peace of mind.

Ye Sui was afraid that he would be bored upstairs alone, so he found some suitable books for him to pass the time.

Business was pretty good today, and a few slum girls saw the medical books on the display stand at the door.

The girls looked at the medical book for a long time, but they still couldn't believe that the herbs described in the book had the effect of curing diseases and saving lives.

Ye Sui smiled and walked forward to explain to the two ladies.

"These books are on sale. They don't cost much. You two ladies can buy them and try them out. Follow the instructions in the book. If they don't work, we can return them."

Heidi and her best friend Alice were stunned and discussed it in a low voice.

Finally, one person bought two books, one about herbal medicine and the other about miscellaneous treatises on typhoid fever.

The two girls in front of me have the red hair unique to the locals. They are tall and wear simple corseted long skirts. There are a few freckles on their straight noses, making the young girls more playful and cute.

Alice asked the shop assistant, "Are there any books on magic here, such as love magic?"

"I'm sorry, Miss, we don't have this kind of book in our store." Ye Sui shook his head.

He looks gentle and easy-going, and his words sound as relaxing as a spring breeze.

Heidi and Alice, who were already a little afraid of foreigners, put their grudges aside and followed Ye Sui to the counter to pay the bill and left excitedly.

Alice trotted back home.

My younger brother John was chopping firewood in the yard. At the age of sixteen, he had developed solid muscles on his shoulders from doing housework all year round, and he was sweating profusely, emitting male hormones.

"Sister, Dad is vomiting blood again. Why did you come back just now?" John complained and put down the axe. His sister walked into the house and he followed her in.

"Didn't I tell you I would be out for a while? Could you please help me take care of dad?" Alice couldn't help but complain. She hugged the book in her arms and pushed open her father's door.

The dark wooden house was enclosed and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

As a daughter, Alice was already used to it. She pulled out the chair next to the bed without changing her expression and smiled at the man lying on the bed.

"Dad, I went to the bookstore today and I wanted to show you this." Alice gave the book to her father.

Krufin leaned back against the pillow, flipping through the book with a pale face.

I don’t know what material the paper is made of, but it is as smooth as silk, and the roots, leaves, and flowers of plants are painted on it vividly. Below the picture are detailed explanations of the uses and dosage of the above plants, as well as what diseases they are suitable for.

"Cough cough..." Krufen coughed, covering his mouth, and a smell of rust filled his mouth.

He didn't want to worry his daughter, so he forced himself to swallow the blood in his mouth.

"Ahem...Alice, I know you've been working hard for this family, but how can a small grass cure a disease that even wizards can't cure?"

Looking at her father's attitude, Alice knew that he didn't believe it.

"It's okay, Dad. The boss said that if it doesn't work, I can return the book. It's not much money anyway, so you don't have to worry!"

"Don't think about it." Krufen weakly held his daughter's hands and said, "Don't delay your marriage to Ma An. Your mother and I hope you will marry him and live a good life with Ma An..."

"I understand, father. You have a good rest. I'll go cook." Alice broke free from her father's hand.

Her father's hand was weak and she pulled it away with one effort.

She didn't want to listen to her father nagging about marriage anymore and escaped from the room.

Seeing his sister coming out, John teased, "Sister, I saw Ma An dating a woman in a tavern a few days ago. You can't marry that kind of person. He's a playboy!"

"Come on, you're more worried than I am," Alice consoled her brother. "I won't marry him."

"That's great, sister. I knew you must be a smart person and would not be deceived by his appearance!"

How could Alice marry a man who was a playboy? She would definitely convince her father and mother.

"Sister, what book is this?" John picked up the book his sister had placed on the table, flipped through it, and roughly realized that it was a collection of flowers and plants.

"I bought it at the Witch's Bookstore. The owner there told me that the things in the book can save people, so I bought it..."

Alice's cheeks flushed slightly. She was not a reckless person, so she felt ashamed of her behavior because of the heat of the moment.

"Sister, I think I can look for it according to the pictures in the book. Really, it's written in such detail, I don't care if it's true or not."

Mrs. John comforted her sister and prepared to go out with a book.

He picked up the bow and arrow on the wall, put it on his back, walked to the door and stopped, saying: "The magician has given up saving Dad. They said that Dad was punished by the God of Light. I don't believe it, sister, and you shouldn't believe it either!"

Watching her brother running away in a hurry, Alice shook her head and rolled up her sleeves to make dinner.
