Chapter 2 1.2 God's Pact: 'Rat Disaster'

As long as Davis can remember, he has been studying medicine. His parents, grandparents, great-grandfathers, great-great-grandfathers... Countless generations have lived in this land and opened this small clinic. .

It can be said that Davis was born in a medical family, and he should work in the clinic as a matter of course. He has never left this town for generations.

Although the Davis family has practiced medicine for generations, has solved many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and has achieved fruitful achievements in medicine, the Davis family has always upheld the benevolence of doctors, so the family is not particularly rich.

Davis has a very complete book, which has been handed down from generation to generation, recording cases and research examples a long time ago, and each generation carefully re-excerpts and revises it.

The book has no name, but the first page you open is always:

A noble soul needs no gold adornment.

This may be the reason why Davis still lives a life that has nothing to do with squandering, even though he can take advantage of the medical treatment to make a fortune.

Davis is smart, studious and diligent. These excellent qualities enable him to quickly master the skills of his ancestors and develop many unique medical methods at a young age.

Before the arrival of Wilson and Safir, Davis' father got lost in the desert collecting herbs and stayed in the desert forever.

Davis' father has always warned Davis not to get close to the desert. It is a place where once you enter, you will kiss death.

Davis kept this sentence in mind, and after his father died, this sentence went deep into Davis' soul.

So, why did Davis' father, knowing the dangers of the desert, still step into the desolate and dangerous desert alone?

Because Davis' mother was ill.

It was a disease that was not even recorded in the books. At that time, Davis' mother was suffering from an unknown disease, and her life was about to end.

It was under such circumstances that Davis' father consulted the treatment plans for the relevant cases, but he tried all of them without finding a definite guideline. Among them, there was an important medicinal material in the barren desert, so he set foot alone desert.

Go in alive, but not come out alive.

After learning the news of his father's death, Davis endured the sadness and began to deal with his mother's illness with all his strength. When he was at a loss, Davis discovered his ability when he killed a poisonous snake with a strange temperament and obtained its bile. , also began to join the ranks of mercenaries, accepting employment missions.

"Shall we take this order next?" Safir stared at the employment paper in Wilson's hand.

"That's right, I'll talk to Davis about this later, maybe we haven't finished the discussion so quickly, if you feel bored, you can play with that female elephant."

While Safire and Wilson talked, Davis also opened the door of the clinic.

"Hey, guys." Davis saw the two of them as expected, and also saw the employment paper in Wilson's hand, and a bag of bread in Safire's arms.

"Hey, buddy." Wilson also responded enthusiastically.

Safir smiled back, those blue eyes were really cute.

Davis said: "Today is another busy day. Have you had dinner? I'm so busy that I haven't eaten yet. I can make some salad later."

After listening, Wilson pointed to the bread in Safire's hand, "Eat it, here, this is our dinner and our spoils of war today."

Safir and Wilson successfully completed the task of finding cats, but they didn't receive the corresponding rewards. They just asked for some bread that was not sold out today in the shop where Apley worked.

"Let's fill your stomach with these. Let's talk about things first. I'll go and see Loadstar." Safire handed the bread in his arms to Davis.

After Davis accepted the bread in Safire's arms, he and Wilson entered the clinic.

The Laudessa that Safir refers to is a female elephant that migrated with the elephant herd two years ago.

At that time, the mother elephant was pregnant with a calf, but due to malnutrition, she could not give birth smoothly, so the calf that should have been born was still in the mother's belly.

When Safir and the others saw Lao Desha, the female elephant fell to the ground in pain.

In order to hurry, the elephants on the side seemed unable to wait any longer and were about to leave Laudessa.

With the help of Safir, Wilson and some enthusiastic people, Davis helped Lao Desha give birth to the baby elephant smoothly. Even though the baby elephant was born a bit late, it was healthy and soon set off to migrate with the elephant herd.

Laudessa, who was extremely weak, was left in care.

The miraculous thing is that Laudessa didn't leave after recovering her health. Instead, she stayed and escorted the people in the town to leave the desert smoothly.It even seems to have a sense, when someone in the town wants to come back after going out, it will go across the desert to meet them.

So this female elephant is called loadstar.Polaris, the star that guides the lost in the desert, symbolizes firmness, persistence and eternal protection.

"The frightened old guy didn't dare to go back to that farm, and now he's staying at a relative's house." Wilson put the employment slip back into his pocket after reading the employment slip.

"I didn't expect the farmer to be so rich." Davis couldn't help feeling emotional when he thought of the high commission.

The two of them had a similar discussion, and the next day, the three of them got up early and went to the place specified in the employment agreement.

Then was told to go to another place.

"It seems that this old thing is really scary." Wilson scratched his head a little irritably.

"Have you checked the pistol?" Davis said to Wilson in a low voice.

"No problem, the magazine is full."

The mercenaries would not go out to do missions without being fully prepared.

This is a relatively hidden tavern. Since it is daytime, there are not many people in the tavern.

The clerk of the tavern took them to the wine cellar, pressed a special button, and the passage from the wine cellar to the basement opened.

"Go straight along this passage to the left and you will see the room. Knock on the door three times. The person you are looking for will be waiting for you there. When you come back, just follow the route that person said. This passage It’s just out of the way.”

A few people followed the clerk's words, and they really came to the underground secret room.

There was no conversation all the way, and Wilson and Davis made eye contact for a moment.

Knocked on the door three times.

"You..." The farmer who opened the door looked at the young children in front of him in surprise, and turned into an enthusiastic expression in an instant, "Welcome, welcome, thank you very much, since you dare to take the task, it is Really have the guts, very good!"

"I've been waiting for a long time, come, come in and talk."

"Hello."

"Hello."

After the farmer shook hands with them one by one with his left hand, he closed the door.

When the farmer was not paying attention, Wilson glanced at the farmer's right hand a few more times.

"Hello, I'm Bruno." Bruno was a little at a loss, "Do you know that if you accept this, your life may be in danger, because those people before..."

Bruno said this with a bit of self-blame.

"How did it go?" Davis asked.

Safir was in a daze as usual at this time, staring at the little ants on the table, while Wilson rested his chin on his hand as if thinking.

"In the beginning, I just woke up early in the morning and found that the field was messed up by someone. According to experience, it should be ruined by a damn mouse, so I hired someone to catch that thing."

Bruno's expression began to panic, "But those hired people didn't come back the next day. I only found a lot of blood. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night and heard the movement outside."

"I sneaked outside and found a mouse! It was only half the size of my body at the time. I braved up and looked at the mouse carefully. It turned out to be a long-eared jerboa!"

Wilson suddenly laughed inappropriately. Realizing that his laughter had interrupted Bruno's narration, he coughed and returned to his original serious expression, "I'm sorry, but I think Mr. Sir's description is too vivid."

Bruno said bitterly, "How can you laugh at this?"

"Go ahead." Davis glanced at Wilson.

"I was terrified. When I went to look again in the daytime, I found that the thing was gone, but the things I planted were almost destroyed. Then I realized that this goddamn mouse is only active at night."

"Then I posted the information about hiring a reward. I was determined to fight that mouse with those people. At that time, we found that the scary mouse started to eat the livestock on the farm after eating the things in the field! And that mouse The mouse is no longer the size I saw at the beginning, we are no match for it, it has grown taller than me!"

"It was too late to escape, we were all discovered, and everyone was running away desperately, but that mouse was moving too fast, so I escaped alone." Speaking of this, Bruno shed tears sadly. .

"I couldn't take it anymore, and then I moved out of that farm. Every day when I went back during the day, I found that the number of cattle and sheep I raised was decreasing a little bit. I was really afraid that it would have nothing to eat and would eat me up."

Bruno was shaking all over.

"But I'm not reconciled, I pray every day, someone can help me kill that mouse!" Bruno gritted his back molars fiercely and slapped his excited right hand on the table.

Safir's pupils staring at the table suddenly shrank.

Seeing this, Bruno raised his hand suddenly, "I'm sorry for being so excited, I scared you."

"Haha, no, we are all mercenaries and we won't be easily frightened. Safire must have recovered from a daze." Davis said, and Safire began to wander absent-mindedly again.

"That's right, we are all willing to help you, but this mission is quite special, and we need some help from your side." Wilson said seriously.

"No problem, I am willing to help if I can, and let me participate in your plan! I want to see with my own eyes that my farm is no longer threatened."

"Then let's go to your farm tomorrow during the day and observe the environment first, maybe we can collect useful information." Davis said.

Bruno thought for a while, "Okay, I'll take you wherever you want to go to the farm."

Wilson flicked the table casually for a while.

"There is nothing else that needs your help at the moment." Davis continued. "Let's go directly to the farm tomorrow, around eight o'clock."

"See you tomorrow~" Wilson said with a smile, adding in his heart: old stuff.

"Okay, no problem, the farm is waiting for you tomorrow."
