[Saint Seiya LC] Daughter of the Abyss

********************

She was entangled with the pillow and quilt on the bed, fell into a dreamless slumber, did not want to go to the dream world to date Polly with the four dream gods, and was awakened by the sound of footsteps outside the door—she was alert enough to panic there The owner of the footsteps woke up before knocking on her door.

The frantic knock on the door showed the uneasiness of the knocker.

"Polly, Polly, wake up!"

Although she could probably guess what happened, Polly put on her coat, opened the door and asked, "Aaron, what happened?"

"Pat has a fever, very bad."

Sure enough, Poli had already guessed the result when dealing with the injury.The child seemed to have struggled for a long time after the injury, and things like dirt had seeped into the depths of the wound. In this era without disinfectants and antibiotics, such injuries were basically synonymous with death.After all, this child is just an ordinary person, not those Xiaoqiang who can still get up and fight even if he is half dead!

"Wait for me." Even though she knew that the child was probably hopeless, under Aaron's pleading eyes, Polly turned around to get the medicine - she prepared some antipyretic medicine for backup.

Opening the wooden box containing the antipyretic medicine, Poli couldn't help but stroke her forehead when she saw that there was only one medicine powder left at the bottom of the box.

"What happened?" Aaron asked a little uneasy when he saw the change in Polly's expression.

"I forgot to replenish the medicine. The antipyretic medicine was almost used up when Jere had a fever last time."

After hearing this, Aaron's face also darkened.He also remembered that a few days ago, Jieer was bullied by the children in the town and fell into the river. After returning, he had a fever.Sister Sophia couldn't do anything but pray for Jair at the time—the orphanage had no money for a doctor or medicine.Fortunately, Tenma remembered that Polly had a lot of herbs, so he took some antipyretics from Polly.I don't know if Poli's medicine is effective, or Jere's life is hard enough. In short, Jere's fever subsided quickly, and nothing happened after two days of rest.

In the next few days, Polly was busy making spices and teaching Sasha to weave lace, and they didn't go to collect herbs outside the town anymore—now that the weather was cold, many plants began to wither.

After pouring what little powder was left in the box into Pat's mouth and filling him with a large glass of water, all that was left was to wait.

After re-soaking the cloth on Pat's head in cold water and putting it back, Tenma rubbed his eyes and walked back to the fireplace where the flame had been extinguished but still warm.

The younger Sasha had already dozed off by the fireplace, and Tenma bit her lower lip and looked at Polly, hoping to get some good news from her.

"No way, the wound is already infected."

Poli's words seemed to be the final verdict, and Tenma punched the ground fiercely: "Damn noble!!"

Yes, when Polly finished the operation and went back to rest, they already knew the whole story from Uncle Brook.Pat, who was working as a helper on a farm outside the town, came back and met several young nobles who went out to hunt but returned empty-handed. ditch.Although Uncle Brook saw this scene from a distance, he was completely unable to stop it. He could only rescue Pat and send him back to the orphanage after the nobles left.

The effect of antipyretics soon passed, and Pat, who was tortured by high fever and pain, began to have sex in pain. His voice made Aaron want to cry.

"Is there really no other way?" Aaron clenched his fists tightly, his clear eyes were covered with a thin layer of despair, and he looked at Polly without blinking.

Sighing, Polly scratched the wall in her heart a little annoyed, why didn't she want to refuse Aaron's request?Asshole!Aaron, you are the future villain BOSS, it is a foul to act cute unconsciously!

"Tianma, I remember there are some willow trees by the river near the town?"

Although she didn't know what Polly was asking this for, Tenma immediately replied, "Ah, that's right."

"I'll go out for a while. Willow bark and some existing herbs can be used to prepare antipyretic and analgesic medicine. Although it can't cure him, it can make him more comfortable."

"No!" Almost subconsciously, Aaron grabbed Polly's hand. "It's already dark, it's too dangerous."

"Yeah, for this kind of thing, I'll just go and pick some willow bark." Tianma also agreed with Aaron's words.It is already past one o'clock in the morning, and the night in late autumn is still very cold, especially in this gloomy weather, it might rain.

"I also want to see if there are any herbs available by the river along the way." It is precisely because the temperature is very low and it is about to rain again that Polly wants to go by herself, otherwise she would have sent Pegasus to run errands .She was born as a Golden Saint Seiya anyway, as long as the small universe is running, it doesn't matter even if the temperature is as low as ten or twenty degrees below zero.

Uh... Indeed, in order not to be discovered by others, she has no guts to blatantly use her full strength now, at most she dares to raise the small universe to the level of an average bronze saint.However, this level is enough just to keep out the cold.

Generally speaking, children are easy to coax, but sometimes they can be particularly stubborn, such as now.

Polly left the orphanage and walked towards the river, with a guy named Pegasus by her side.Tightening her thick cloak tightly, and taking a look at the Pegasus walking beside her, Polly felt a little amused in her helplessness.

Her chuckle successfully made Tianma's head full of black lines.Hello! !Wrapped in a large plaid shawl with bright colors is definitely not voluntary for him!There was no way to do this, because the entire orphanage didn't have any decent winter clothes, and the best and warmest clothes were Polly's personal belongings.As a child boarding in an orphanage, Polly brought two suitcases, one large and one small, and three winter coats for going out.

Under the dark night, the two children each held an old oil lamp in their hands. In the dim light, even though Tianma was very familiar with the surrounding environment and his movements were relatively sensitive, they still stumbled.But Polly didn't have these troubles, and even if she stepped on the air occasionally, she could immediately restore her balance, and it seemed that she was just shaking a little.

Rubbing his frozen hands, Tianma pointed to the front and said, "Pass that rock and walk a few more steps to get there."

It seemed that because the target was close at hand, the relaxed Tenma made a mistake. He quickened his pace, but forgot that this was the gentle slope of the river beach.

When Tian Ma stepped on a loose stone and fell down the gentle slope involuntarily, someone grabbed his hand and shook him vigorously, saving him from the unfortunate fate of rolling down the river bank to enjoy a cold bath in the late autumn night.The one holding him back was of course Polly.
