Angel on earth

Sebastian Terekin is a middle-aged doctor who is not tall, with slightly thinning brown hair. He is not yet 40 years old, but his belly is already a little bulging.Unlike the friend who invited him, his round cheeks always had a kind and a little embarrassed smile, like a boiled potato.

The conditions in the monastery are not very good, but everyone likes him very much.After Mikhail's efforts, he was not imprisoned, and he was even exposed to the sun in the house, and he had a chance to take a bath every three days; although the water was cold, it was summer anyway.

Rollins walked ahead carrying the suitcase, knocked on the door, unlocked it and went in, while Mikhail closed the door behind.Terekin was writing and drawing at the desk. Looking at the picture, it seemed to be a treatment for abdominal tumor resection.Seeing the two people coming in, he hurriedly put down his pen, stood up with some panic, and raised his hands in salute.

Rollins asked him to sit down and briefly explained his purpose.The medicines used by Father Vasily were prepared on-site after Terekin arrived. Most of the medicines were provided by the monastery and the city government, and the rest were tested and found to be no problem.In addition to bloodletting and other treatments, he prepared a total of seven bottles of ointment, each of which was used by the priest.On the day of Father Vasily's death, Rollins felt strange, borrowed the altar to ask for an oracle, and got a "poisoned" reply.Therefore, they decided to detain Teretin and other suspects pending interrogation after the funeral.

Rollins hoped that Terekin would explain the composition and function of the seven bottles of ointment.The doctor was very cooperative, and he was a little scared, but there was still a polite smile on his chubby cheeks.

"...The first bottle, obviously, is incense. It was extracted from the imported margarita chrysanthemum. I was a few days late for this batch of medicinal materials. I didn't expect to delay the priest..." Terekin said Draw a sun cross on the chest, "Rejuvenation, of course, only refers to the appearance, to make people more energetic, and these methods are needed to heal the elderly. Arnold used similar essential oils for a mentally traumatized lady, and the effect Very well. He wrote that the best must be used for the priest."

Mikhail agreed: "Dr. Edwards is indeed very religious."

"The main material of the second bottle is the stem of wisteria, which can eliminate swelling, relieve paralysis, and can be used for joint pain and insect disease. The priest has some edema after lying down for a long time, and often has abdominal pain, so he made this bottle of medicine. This is given every day. He eats, he is a bit fat...

"The third bottle is... yes, the extract of lion grass. Ah, lion grass is a good thing, Your Highness, Your Excellency, although the Edwards family committed serious crimes, their contribution to medicine is undeniable, Lion No one thought of using grass before that, but they have developed many prescriptions... Whether it is antipyretic, cold, lung disease, sore throat, hemorrhoids, or bruises, it can be used. The price is not high, and Edward The Zi family also did not restrict the distribution of prescriptions, for the poor..."

Rollins was very blunt: "These churches know about it. But as far as I know, the prescriptions related to lion grass are very slow to work."

Terekin explained: "Because the priest's condition stabilized on the third day, it is not suitable to continue to use strong drugs. Lion grass works faster than other chronic drugs, and the church has a lot of reserves. Uh, Your Highness is Recording? Oh, ok, I'll continue then.

"The bottle in the middle is mainly ground ginger root, made the first night to improve blood flow and remove impurities. I have to be honest about this-no, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I took In the name of my parents, I swear to Mithra, the sun god. I bought Jiang He in the market, and the pronunciation should be like this. It is said that it was originally a specialty of the "Heaven on Earth". In recent decades, some Jebusites It is planted and sold. I used it to cure a patient, poor, voluntary... I wanted to be a priest, but I couldn't do it, so I tried this. I didn't expect his condition to be so serious. Fortunately, it worked. But the effect seemed too much It's better, I'm afraid of overdoing it, so I don't use it anymore.

"The fifth bottle is mashed potato roots..."

"Wait a minute, sir," Rollins interrupted. "Yam?"

Terekin nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency. I know that the tubers of yams are poisonous, but the rhizomes can be used to treat abdominal pain, cholera, hernia, it is also good for the stomach, and can also be used to moisten wounds. Say no." Modesty, only a doctor like me with many years of experience is qualified to handle it, and I can handle it well. ——Ah, wait a minute, thank the sun god Mithra, this is my qualification certificate..."

He handed over several documents with both hands, and Mikhail took them and examined them carefully, saying, "I'm very sorry. Please continue."

"The main ingredient in the sixth bottle is elderberry leaves. It is a common medicine, and it is effective in treating wind and cold and reducing fever."

"I know that." Mikhail smiled. "Dr. Edwards also has this, and he gave me a box. These are indeed common diseases of the elderly."

"Please don't say that, Your Highness." Rollins scolded, "No one wants to be sick."

Mikhail clasped his hands together and confessed for 5 minutes.Then he opened his eyes and looked at Terekin: "Sorry, please continue."

For some reason, Terekin was a little scared by that look, and was in a daze for a moment, as if only those eyes like the starry sky and lightning in the whole room were real.An idea flashed by, but he didn't catch it. With a blank face, he said, "The seventh bottle is Dianthus. Dianthus has a very long history of being used as medicine on the other side of the strait, and this time it is also used as an adjuvant treatment. The priest has been lying down for a long time, his digestion and excretion are not very good, and he has bedsores. Carnation wine is diuretic, and it can also treat sores and eczema. Well, a nun asked me for some to treat the nuns. You can go Ask, it's a lady with brown eyes who is a little over 1.5 meters."

"Sister Linda, I think." Mikhail has a good memory. "The first night, she was almost punished because of me. Hmm... She seems to have been working in a damp place, and she does have eczema. Ah! I actually forgot! Rollins, remember to remind me to change her working environment."

"I praise you for your kindness, Mikhail." Rollins nodded, then turned to Terekin and said, "It seems that there are doubts about the bottle of yam, and it is generally certain that you are innocent, doctor."

"Uh, about this point." Teretkin said with a wry smile, "Please forgive me... In fact, it is the first time for me to use many of these medicines. Although most of them are mild in nature, after all, the elderly cannot take strong medicines. But we The development of this industry is not good. Unless a family system is formed in the form of the Edwards family, most people have not learned comprehensive knowledge and experience. To be honest, those who are in a hurry to seek medical treatment like the priest are poisoned. Quite a few died, and it was likely due to drug interactions. What if..."

"Please don't worry." Rollins comforted, "Brother Vasily has also reached the age to return to the kingdom of heaven. Even if you are really careless, as long as it is not intentional, we will not let a righteous person like you be wronged."

"Even?" Terekin asked suspiciously, "Is there anyone else who would poison the priest? I don't think there will be... Most of the time I stay with the priest, and there are very few people who have the opportunity to come into contact with him. He's a good guy."

The two saints looked at each other, and at the same time drew a sun cross on their chests.Mikhail praised: "You are really a righteous man with a kind heart, just like your friend. There are indeed more kind people in the world."

"Arnold?" Terekin asked, with a more genuine smile on his face, "he just has a bad temper, and he likes to run among the poor. Well, if you catch him too, remember to give him a clean Water... That guy feels bad if he doesn't take a bath all day. It's a good thing to love cleanliness, but it can't be like that. Well, but, everyone has their own hobbies..."

Mikhail said shyly: "Yes... No, he is indeed in the monastery, but not because of Brother Vasily. A group of leprosy patients came from outside the city before, and we helped treat them. It ended last night. I will go to the monastery in a while. Give him a mass to purify him, and then he can go down the mountain in two days."

"Leprosy... have you succeeded?"

"The ones with mild symptoms recovered last night. Arnold said that they will be observed for a few days, and those with severe symptoms are also improving."

"Oh my God." Terekin shouted, his neck flushed with excitement, "We have studied together before, and I have a share! Even if I go to hell because of the priest, God the Father will do it for it." Take me back to heaven!"

Rollins wondered, "Your confidence is so good. I think you are innocent, and the fault should be someone else's."

"No, no, I'm just too happy, please forgive me, Mithra, the sun god, please forgive my complacency..." A series of nonsense came out of Terekin's mouth, and he slapped his thigh, "Hey! It's over , I am not in a hurry to go back to the capital, I must find Arnold to celebrate!"

"That matter is still uncertain, but I still praise your kindness." Rollins said, stood up, and greeted, "Let's go here first today, please have a good rest and take care of yourself, doctor. At most In a month, you will be free. At that time, I will write to you personally and bring you back to the diocese of Cusco."

"Oh, that's really troublesome to you, you are so kind, Your Excellency Rawlins!" Terekin stood up, but did not approach, stood in front of the desk with his legs together, and raised his hands, "Praise the Sun Mystery Tra!"

The two saints returned their salutes in the corridor, and then Rollins locked the door, so the two of them didn't see Terekin's suddenly confused expression after sitting down.

When he went down to the courtyard, Mikhail hurriedly greeted a passing monk, and hurriedly asked, "What does 'not yet sure' mean? Didn't Arnold risk his life to prove his character?"

"Life is in danger?" Rollins' kind face flashed a trace of hostility, "Your Highness, are you out of your mind? What is leprosy to a vampire?"

"He's not!" Mikhail said stubbornly, "'Brilliant Maiden' didn't respond, and I didn't perceive it. I report this to you every day, don't I?"

"...So," Rollins pushed open the side door of the church, closed it again after he entered, narrowed his eyes and thought, "you didn't have one last night. Where did you go?"

"Aha! But I was not obliged to report the itinerary to you!" Mikhail angrily said, "I'm the chief! Why do you insist on holding on to Arnold? It's just because his surname is Edwards and he's a doctor. A pair of green eyes? Haven't I killed enough vampires? He's done so many good things, he's nothing like those monsters! Last night was also because I was tired, and he gave me his resting place; even if we did something wrong He didn't get angry when he snooped into his house after something happened, and he comforted me instead. I dare say he is a righteous man even before the saints! Rollins, you don't know him at all, why do you have to send him to Can the stake be used?"

"Have you been seduced by that Edwards?!" Rollins' voice became sharp, he stopped abruptly, turned around, his words echoed in the empty church, and then lowered the volume so that no one could hear the scandal. "You weren't like that before. How did you learn to talk nonsense recently? What blinded you to trust a federal immigrant so wholeheartedly?"
