    Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The Third Level of Truth – Wei Jie The End…

    The wolf cub reluctantly cheered up and screamed “Ouch-ouch”. The mobile phone translation software gave instructions on the route. Si Jiu quickly carried the wolf cub Xiaojie to the shantytown on the back street of the hospital.

    This place is simply a dirty and messy slum. From time to time, ragged orcs walk by with their heads lowered, and there are also a few pure beasts huddled in the corners of the dilapidated sheds.

    When Si Jiu was in the rebirth organization on Yalan Star, the environment was even worse than here. He didn’t care at all, he just wanted to find Xiaojie’s sick mother.

    “Ouch, ouch!”

    ——”Mom, there, it’s my mother!”

    Xiaojie suddenly shouted excitedly, and Sijiu looked in the direction where he leaned out half of his body.

    I saw a patched, disheveled and very weak female wolf orc leaning against the door of a dirty shed.

    It was said to be a shed, which was a shed made of scrap materials built up with a few pillars. When Si Jiu walked over, the female orc frowned and closed her eyes. There was sweat on her forehead. She was skinny under the shabby clothes and looked very sick.

    ——”Mom, I’m back, Mom! Look, I brought the doctor here!” The wolf cub kept howling.

    Si Jiu approached quickly, and the turbid air of the shack was filled with the smell of decay and disease.He squatted down in front of the female orc and said in a very soft voice: “Hello, I am a doctor, can you let me take a look?”

    Xiaojie immediately rushed to his mother’s side. The orc opened his eyes with difficulty, his pupils were a little dilated, but he instinctively shrank into the shadow of the shed. His chapped lips moved, but he made no sound.

    “Don’t be afraid.” Si Jiu said, already starting the inspection.

    He gently pushed aside the orc’s tangled hair that was soaked in sweat from the forehead, and pressed it with the back of his hand – the tentacles were hot, and the high fever was consuming her remaining vitality. His fingertips moved down and touched the side of her neck, her pulse was fast and weak.

    “Xiaojie, do you have water? A clean cloth will do, too.” Si Jiu asked without looking back, his eyes scanning the patient’s body carefully.The shabby and thin clothes could barely cover his extremely thin frame, and his ribs were clearly highlighted.

    He carefully opened a corner of his clothes and gasped – there was a large unnatural dark bruise on the left side of his waist and abdomen. The edges were darkened, and the skin in the center was tight and shiny, with a faint ominous heat.Pressing the surrounding area gently, the unconscious orc twitched in pain and let out a very light whimper even in his daze.

    Si Jiu came closer and smelled it. There was no obvious rancid smell, but the unusual smell coming from inside was not simply hunger or cold.

    ——”Mom…Mom, she has fallen…” The wolf cub used his nose to pick up a broken earthen pot with some water in it, and his voice was crying, “She has been speechless for several days, and then she lost more and more strength, and her body was so hot…”

    Si Jiu looked at the translator on the phone and frowned.

    He made a preliminary judgment in his mind – high fever and systemic failure caused by trauma and infection, and perhaps internal bleeding. In this dirty environment without basic nutrition, any small injury could turn into a fatal threat.

    He took the jar, poured the only water on the relatively clean cloth, and began to wipe the orc’s hot forehead and neck in an attempt to physically cool him down.

    Brushing his fingers through her dry and knotted hair, he could feel the abnormally protruding joints under the skin and the muscles that were tense due to continuous trembling.Every weak breath seemed laborious, and the rise and fall of his chest was so slight that it was heart-wrenching.

    Si Jiu squatted down with a solemn expression, and quietly pulled up the fallen shabby clothes to cover the female orc’s exposed body. Then he placed his hand on the injured area on her left waist and abdomen, and a gentle green light emitted from his hand.

    Xiaojie held his breath and stared closely.

    Under the influence of Si Jiu’s green light, the orc’s originally tight and shiny skin relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its normal texture and elasticity.

    After a moment, the dark bruises under the skin – the light cyan color at the outermost edge faded first, followed by the purple-black color in the center. The color became lighter and dissipated layer by layer, revealing the pale but normal skin color underneath.

    The high fever also subsided at the same time. The female orc’s frown relaxed slightly, the sweat that continued to leak out on her forehead stopped, the ominous hot blush on her skin gradually faded, and her breathing, although still weak, was no longer so rapid and laborious.

    The green light from Si Jiu’s palm continued to output steadily, and the healing green light seemed to not only act on the superficial bruises, but also penetrate deeper into the body – the wolf orc’s limbs, which were originally twitching slightly due to pain and weakness, slowly calmed down.Her chapped lips pursed unconsciously, and a very light moan came from her throat.

    “Mom…Mom!” Xiaojie couldn’t help it any longer and cried out in a low voice. He wanted to throw himself into the female orc’s arms, but was afraid of disturbing Si Jiu’s treatment, so he could only anxiously step on the spot with his front paws and his tail tightly tucked behind his back.

    “It’s okay.” Beads of sweat appeared on Si Jiu’s forehead. When the orc’s condition improved, the magical green light in his hand gradually faded away, his voice was hoarse and tired, “The external and internal injuries have been stabilized, and the high fever has subsided. But your mother is too weak and needs to be recuperated – I will come to treat your mother in the next few days, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

    ——”Thank you, thank you… Wuwu, thank you so much, beautiful brother!” Xiaojie kept shouting.

    ——”How should I repay you! You saved my mother, I have read… the script, I can – promise you with my life!” The cry of the wolf cub made Si Jiu laugh and cry as he looked at the translator.

    “Wow! It’s not your turn to commit yourself to him, he already has a master!” Not far away, a familiar bark of a beast dog was heard. Sijiu looked up and saw Ran Lie, dressed in military uniform, who was obviously coming from the military headquarters.

    Si Jiu couldn’t help but feel relieved. The tense nerves that had been tense due to concentrating on treatment could not help but relax the moment he saw Ran Lie.

    “A Lie, you’re here.” Si Jiu smiled slightly.

    Ran Lie glanced at the little wolf cub and said, “I just talked with the dean, and I will arrange a bed for this little guy’s mother today.”

    Wu En is the deputy dean, and the dean Si Jiu has met him once or twice before. He is a middle-aged orc with a full official tone.

    “Can they agree?” Si Jiu remembered that Han Yanru had said that Xiaojie’s mother seemed to have been kicked out of the military hospital.

    Ran Lie raised his eyebrows slightly: “He shouldn’t dare to say no in front of me.”

    A high-level official can not only crush people, but also orcs. As he was talking, several orc nurses carrying emergency stretchers ran towards Si Jiu’s direction, obviously to treat Xiaojie’s injured mother.

    “The director asked us to send the patient to the hospital.” said the orc nurse wearing a mask.As expected of the first general, the director quickly dispatched emergency rescue nurses.

    Xiaojie on the side was shocked and frightened. Si Jiu kept comforting him and asked the nurses to send the female orcs who had recovered a little to the hospital first – after all, the environment in the military hospital was much better than the dirty and messy slums.

    With Si Jiu’s comfort, Xiaojie calmed down. The female orc opened her eyes slightly when she was carried on the stretcher. She tried her best to glance in a certain direction in the shed, but because she was too weak and her mental state was not very good, in the end she just moaned a few times and closed her eyes.

    ——”Can I go to the hospital and stay with my mother?!” The little wolf cub looked at Si Jiu and howled.

    Si Jiu looked at Ran Lie and said to Xiaojie, “It’s okay, because this fierce brother is also helping you.”

    With that said, Si Jiu pulled the corner of Ran Lie’s clothes. Ran Lie turned his head and his black-gold eyes flashed with a touch of comfort, but he still had a handsome face on his face. He put his hands behind his back and said, “Who is being mean?!”

    The little wolf cub seemed to think for a while, and then he suddenly ran into a dark corner of the shed.

    “Xiaojie, where are you going?” Si Jiu, who was confused, was slightly stunned.

    But then, Xiaojie forcefully pulled out an iron box made of special material from the corner. On the iron box was a unique electronic code lock.

    ——”This, this is for you, mother said, this is the most important thing for us… You saved my mother, I will give you the most important thing!” Xiaojie shouted solemnly.

    Ran Lie’s sharp eyes slid over the iron box, and his expression suddenly tightened: “Why do you have military equipment?!”

    Xiaojie was so frightened that he shrank aside.

    ——”What, some military… This is what dad left to us. My dad… He only came back once, and then I was caught on the way to find him. It was so scary… They said my dad would never come back. I will give this to you as a reward for saving my mother… Can’t you?” Little Wolf said intermittently.

    “In that case, let’s accept it.” Si Jiu tugged on the admiral’s clothes this time. In fact, he didn’t want to accept any thank you gift, but what Ran Lie said aroused his curiosity.

    Si Jiu always remembered that Ran Lie had smelled the scent of wolf cubs on the suspicious potion he bought and in Zhuyu’s basement.

    Is there any connection between this?

    Si Jiu winked at Ran Lie, and the admiral’s ears twitched slightly in understanding. Without saying anything more, he picked up the iron box from the ground.

    ——”The password for this box is my birthday, and my birthday is 1208…” The little wolf’s voice lowered. When Ran Lie appeared in military uniform, there were no other orcs around. However, the little wolf still kept his voice low at this time, looking around from time to time to make sure that no other orcs heard.

    After saying that, Xiaolang said “Oowu” again (remember, don’t forget), and then followed the stretcher of the nurses.

    Si Jiu looked at the iron box in Ran Lie’s hand and pursed his lips slightly.

    After returning home with Ran Lie, Yang Xiaozheng went downstairs to find Ran Lie after dinner in the afternoon, saying that some buddies from the military department were gathering at his house on the top floor. If Brother Lie came back, he must call him up to have a drink with him.

    “Sister-in-law, I mean Si Jiu, you won’t be so strict with my brother, right?!” Yang Xiaozheng is obviously an orc in his thirties, and he has been calling Ran Lie, who is in his twenties, my brother. Si Jiu understands more and more why he asked Ran Lie to call him Brother Lie when they first met.

    “I’m happy to be controlled, what do you know?!” Ran Lie glared at Yang Xiaozheng, and the tall croissant man immediately shut his mouth knowingly.

    Si Jiu was helpless. He packed up Ran Lie and Yang Xiaozheng and sent them out. He just whispered to Ran Lie: “Drink less, drinking too much will harm your health.” This came from the doctor’s instructions.

    Before closing the door, you could still hear Yang Xiaozheng saying: “The human sister-in-law is pretty good…”

    Ran Lie: “Of course, my wife is the best!”

    Fortunately, the door was closed. Si Jiu shook his head. After taking a shower, he couldn’t help but think of the military iron box that the wolf cub gave him today.

    He took out the iron box and put it on the table in the living room, entered “1208”, and sure enough, the electronic lock opened with a beep.

    Si Jiu opened the box. Inside was an electronic tablet. Si Jiu took out the electronic tablet. There was a photo at the bottom of the box.

    The photo is old, but still clear.

    Si Jiu looked at the photo——

    The young man with a black eyepatch has a pair of gray wolf ears, and the other black eye is no different from that of a human. His long turban is used as a scarf around his neck. The photo reads “I, Wei Jie, although my tail was broken off in the battle, I am still handsome.”

    When Wei Jie was young, his smile was still so gentle.
