rose nursery rhyme

The epidemic doctor finished speaking slowly, and asked Sidi, "Do you understand now?"

Xidi nodded obediently: "Understood."

Epidemic doctor: "Understood——what are you doing?"

Xi Di bypassed him and was about to continue walking into the city: "Going into the city, what's the matter?"

The rarer the situation in this city, the more curious he became. Xidi lived in the atonement house before and had never seen a real plague. Now he finally has a chance to understand it up close. Of course, it is impossible to just like this leave.

—As for the danger?What it is?

Bryce followed without any objection.

The epidemic doctor has never seen such a disobedient person in his life, he quickly stopped the two of them, and said angrily: "Didn't you say you understand!"

Although the plague has basically been brought under control, no one can guarantee whether it will still be infected when entering the city.

Besides, in a city where so many people have died, most people will be jealous, and it would be good if they don't hide away immediately, why are there still people with straight eyebrows and dazed eyes digging in!

Did this kid really not understand, or was he simply not afraid of death and being bold?

Xidi didn't care so much, she turned her head to look at the epidemic doctor, and asked him, "Isn't there no more patients in the city?"

There are indeed no patients in the city, and the unfortunate residents who are infected with the disease are either mildly ill, have recovered, or...

They were already dead, dragged into the forest behind the city, and burned and buried together with their used things.

Rats have also been eradicated on a large scale in the city, and now at least on the surface, there is no longer a single creature that can spread the plague.

but……

No one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

The blackbird on the roof was motionless, not afraid of people at all, even if the three of them passed under them, they just adjusted their facing angle, staring at Sidi and Bryce as they stepped on the stone road in the city.

They are mourning birds, and they only appear where there are dead people.

They're waiting for dead bodies that haven't been disposed of in time.

The epidemic doctor followed, still trying to persuade: "...It's still too late to turn around now, there is a small road next to it that leads to the next town—"

It was a truly prosperous and beautiful city, and if you were lucky, you might even see creatures of other races there. It was the most suitable place for travelers to rest and visit.

They don't have to stay in this dead city.

Sidi stopped.

The epidemic doctor breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally..."

The child felt that this person was a little too enthusiastic, so he asked him directly: "Why?"

The epidemic doctor was taken aback: "What?"

Sidi: "Why do you care about us so much?"

They are strangers who do not listen to advice and insist on going their own way.

Even if he really died in this city, it was just a matter of burning two more corpses.

Epidemic doctors are used to seeing life and death, and they can't even take care of the people in the city, so they shouldn't be so concerned about them.

Facing the young man's clear questioning eyes, the epidemic doctor sighed and softened his tone.

"I am also a doctor after all." He said, "It is my mission to save lives and heal the wounded. This is what I should do."

The epidemic doctor has a sense of responsibility. It is impossible for him to watch two people in danger in front of him without doing anything.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Besides, I... I used to have a younger brother. If he is still alive, he should be about the same age as you now."

Siddie: "Once upon a time?"

"Yeah." The epidemic doctor paused for a short while, with the usual tone, "He's dead."

Maybe because he saw that the two people in front of him were firm and could not be persuaded by him, the epidemic doctor simply followed them: "Is this the first time for you two to come here?"

Xidi glanced at Bryce, Bryce answered consciously and nodded: "That's right."

"Oh." The epidemic doctor nodded, "I'm afraid you don't know... This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in this city."

It was obvious in his words that Brace was much more reserved than Xidi, so he asked: "'This kind of thing' means...?"

The plague doctor snorted softly, "Plague."

When he said this, his tone was weird, as if he was recalling, but also seemed to be resisting.

"It happened once ten years ago, but it wasn't so serious." The epidemic doctor said, "Not many people died, and it subsided quickly. This time..."

His voice stopped abruptly, he turned to look at Xi Di, and asked again: "You really can't leave?"

Xi Di was also firm: "I won't leave."

Brace followed, "You don't have to worry about the two of us—you see."

Simple persuasion is to persuade this person not to leave. Xidi has no interest in harming ordinary people, and Brice's attitude becomes more and more gentle. He just stretches out a hand, and a purple magic circle appears on his hand.

The epidemic doctor was stunned.

"So..." He looked at it for a while before realizing, "So you are a magician."

Magicians themselves do not have the ability to expel plagues, but it is rare for them to be unstoppable. Ordinary people have various imaginations about them.Brice moved out of this identity, and the epidemic doctor had nothing to say.

But he looked at the young man who was about the same age as his younger brother, and he still couldn't hold back the last bit of concern, and asked, "Do you two have a place to stay tonight?"

Brace: "Perhaps, the hotel in this city..."

"It's closed." The epidemic doctor shook his head, "If it's like this, why open a hotel? Everyone in the city who has nothing to do has almost left."

In just ten years, two deadly plagues spread in the city. Those who were not affected had already moved to other places with their belongings. Those who stayed in the city either had deep feelings for the city. , or... was tied up by something, and couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Therefore, although the plague took away half of the population, there were still no people on the streets. Many people's doors and windows were wide open and empty. Obviously, the people inside took all the things they could take with them when they left.

The residents here have lost hope here, and they won't be coming back.

And when people outside heard the rumors here, they would not risk their lives to come in like Bryce and Xidi.

Before long, this place will become a dead city.

"If you trust me, I can help you find a place to live... But even if you are a magician, don't stay here for too long." The epidemic doctor is very serious, "If possible, you two should leave as soon as possible .”

Of course, these two people will not be afraid of the epidemic doctor's hands and feet. It has nothing to do with trust, but mainly with confidence in their own strength.

So Brice nodded slightly to him: "Then thank you very much."

The plague doctor took a look at him, and felt that although the magician was wearing a hood and could not see his face clearly, he was much easier to talk to than the boy next to him, so he also had a good impression of him, and replied: "You're welcome, After all, I have lived here alone for some days, and it is fate to meet you."

There are not many living people in the city, so if you can help, it is a help.

Xidi bowed her head and counted the small stones embedded in the cracks of the stone slabs for a while, then suddenly asked, "Why are you still here?"

The epidemic doctor was taken aback: "What?"

Didn't you agree to take them to their residence?

"This city." Xidi is in a good mood now, and patiently explained to this bird-headed man who doesn't seem very smart, "Now there are no patients in the city, why don't you leave?"

Still wandering idly in the streets, meddling in other people's business.

Sheedy didn't dislike him for being like this, but she was still a little curious.

"My name is Xidi." Remembering that a polite child should introduce himself before asking someone something, Xidi added, "You can call me... Xidi."

In the middle of the conversation, I remembered that I only had this name and no other title, so I said something nonsense.

Epidemic Doctor: "..."

He wisely didn't comment on Sheedy's self-introduction, bypassing the topic lightly: "My family is still here, and I can't leave."

Sheedy: "Are you local?"

Epidemic doctor: "Well, I left home to study medicine for a few years, and then came back."

Sidi nodded, indicating that he understood.After waiting for a while, he realized that the bird-headed man was done with just saying such a sentence, so he asked again: "You haven't told me your name yet."

The epidemic doctor was obviously avoiding this topic on purpose, but Xidi felt that since he had already told him his name, he should also tell him his name as a courtesy.

The epidemic doctor lifted his mask up.

"My name is...Alex," he said. "Here we are."

The few people chatted all the way, crossed the paved stone road all the way, and almost passed through half of the town before arriving at the destination.

This was supposed to be the center of the entire town, and the three main roads came together to form a three-way intersection.There are rows of shops next to the intersection.

It’s just that all the goods and merchants are gone now, and there are some heavy shelves that cannot be taken away, and some black birds are also sitting on them. Someone passed by without being startled, but just stared at the three people in silence.

"Mourning birds." The epidemic doctor named Alex reminded, "It's better to stay away from them."

Siddie: "They hurt?"

Alex: "They eat corpses."

He tore off a bunch of keys from his waist, found one carefully, and opened the door of one of the shops: "This place was originally run by my family, but... anyway, it should be very clean inside, and there is nothing there. Take it away. People can live on the second floor, and the two of you are free to do so without restraint."

Having said that, he himself took a step back, apparently not planning to go in.

Xidi was very interested in the epidemic doctor, so Brice kept few words along the way, and only said at this time: "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Alex."

"No." Alex waved his hand. "Anyway, no one lives in this place, so it's not a big deal to lend it to you."

Xidi blinked and thanked him too, but his way of expressing his gratitude was very unique. He took out a large ball of fluffy wool from the space ring and stuffed it into the bird-headed man's arms: "For you."

I don't know when he got it off the sheep again.

Poor lamb, he suffered from such cruel hands, but his face was too dark, and he didn't like to bark, so he really didn't show it at all.

It was also the first time for Alex to receive such a gift, holding the wool, even the mysterious plague doctor mask looked a lot naive.

The author says:

The front row reminds that the content of the ten chapters of "Three Forks" is chaotic and evil, please choose carefully to watch.

Please don't look for any sense of reality and logic in "Nursery Rhymes", Nursery Rhymes don't care about this at all.

I forgot to mention yesterday that the character setting of "Fairy Knight" is based on the headless horseman Durahan, but the general inspiration comes from the English folk song "The Elfin Knight", the story of the fairy knight and the girl teasing each other and singing duets.

It is also the prototype of the song "Scarborough Fair".
