The corner of the man's mouth raised an almost invisible arc, and a smile flashed across his light-colored eyes.Although his figure and appearance are quite dignified, his personality is as gentle as Dr. Nancy said.Without embarrassing Teresa for long, he reached out and took the medicine box, which was heavy for a girl, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

"It's all right." Thinking of the oolong just now, Teresa stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry, Dad asked me to bring you medicine, and I'll help you change the bandages. I'm afraid he has an emergency today. Here we come." After speaking, she brought the vegetables and fruits in her hand, as well as a piece of fresh meat, to him, and said with a bright smile, "Actually, this one is for you too, it's a gift from everyone in the town."

"Thanks to Dr. Nancy's care, I am already very grateful, you should take these back, I can take care of myself." The man postponed.

Teresa glanced at the shabby hut without any furniture. There were only some fish and animal bones in it. She frowned, and warned as a future doctor: "You probably haven't replenished your food these days." Get nutritious, after all, there is no vegetable market nearby." Seeing that he didn't speak, Teresa knew she was right, and explained: "Because the neighbors on Katness Island have a good relationship, and the location of the island is remote, There will be no guests for decades, so I have to go directly to the other party’s house to exchange whatever I want to eat. There is no need to buy food. If I have to buy, I have to drive a horse-drawn carriage to the south for 2 days to the southern area, where the supplies are so abundant My own people can’t finish it, so I will sell some outside.”

Listening to her careful explanation, the man finally understood why he had wandered around the town so many times but hadn't found any vegetables.This small town is very united, if you can integrate into them, maybe you will be very happy.It's just that he has been here for more than a month, and besides Dr. Nancy, only this girl dared to speak to him.

"So, you can accept this first, but it probably isn't enough for your teeth..." Teresa shyly obeyed the strand of hair that ran from behind to her chest, and put the vegetables After putting it in his hand, he continued: "Let me help you change the bandage again."

Without further delay, the man put away the vegetables, thinking that the wound on his body was on the back, and it was not easy to ask a girl to help change the dressing, so he shook his head and said, "No need, I have already changed it."

"Huh? Have you changed it..." Teresa stared suspiciously at his upper body wearing a vest, and frowned after seeing the shallow marks of the stretch through the clothes: "It's wrong for you to tie the bandage like this, The injury is on the upper body, and the bandage is easy to fall off with a circular bandage, so it should be tied with a figure-eight bandage..."

The man obviously didn't understand these professional terms. He raised his hand and pressed his back. He frowned slightly in embarrassment, but shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's almost ready."

"But it will leave scars!" Teresa said seriously. She was influenced by her father's eyes and ears since she was a child, and she would never allow any patient to be fooled in terms of treatment.You must know that even a slight wound may become a fatal hidden danger!

The man smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Seeing his stubbornness, Teresa's two cheeks bulged slightly, and when the man turned around, she muttered in a low voice: "If the injury is on the back, others will think it is from running away. And, listen to Dad It is said that your wound is a bit like the shape of a peach heart. When you are shirtless in the future, everyone will say, look at that silly hat, there is a heart-shaped tattoo on the back..."

As expected, the man paused when he closed the door, looked back helplessly at her stubborn look, sighed and compromised and said, "I know, I will trouble you." As expected of Dr. Nancy's daughter, they are very similar.

"That's right." Teresa certainly knew what he was worried about, because there were many patients who refused to let her treat her personally because she was a girl.She knew that they were well-intentioned, but since she chose to become a doctor, she had to treat her with enthusiasm and loyalty all her life, how could she stop because of scruples.

My father said that for doctors, there is nothing more precious than life in this world.In the face of human life, even ghosts and gods have to make way for him.

Following the man, Teresa finally walked into the cabin where he lives now. Just as she guessed, the room that had been abandoned for a long time was very simple. There was only a round table without stools and dilapidated chairs in the room. wooden bed and two wardrobes.Although it was cleaned by the man, the table and cabinets had been bitten by insects. The small single bed could not fit the man's entire body, and more than half of his legs were curled up.All in all, no matter what aspect it is, this room is not suitable for patients to recuperate.

Hesitatingly followed the man to the bed. Although she was struggling in her heart, Teresa still cleaned up the man's wound skillfully and carefully.She cleaned and dried the wound first, then faced him, observed his facial expression, and re-tied the bandage calmly.Although the man is trying to be brave, his wound still looks a little serious even after a month. Even if the surface is healed, there will still be internal injuries that will not heal well and need to be carefully recuperated.

"You're done." Pulling up his blouse and draping it over him, Teresa took a few steps back to put away the used bandages, and took the cloth bag for the trash in his room along the way.Seeing the surprised expression on the man's face, Teresa smiled and said, "You are too far away from the town, and garbage trucks can't get there. I'll take these waste products to the town and hand them over to the uncle of the Sanitation Bureau." He is a patient, It's better to have a good rest.After thinking about it, Teresa warned again: "Your injury did not heal as smoothly as Dad expected. I will tell him the situation and let him come to treat you again."

After moving his lower and upper body, the bandage did not show signs of falling off. The man clenched his fists and said, "I've almost recovered, so I don't need to bother Dr. Nancy."

"It should be up to the doctor to decide whether to recover or not. You haven't recovered well these days. Not only are you malnourished, but you also do strenuous activities, and the living environment is harsh, which will only make the injury worse." Thinking of this, Teresa hesitated stand up.He just didn't want to stay in the town and be isolated by everyone, so he came here alone to recuperate. If he was taken to the clinic, would it cause psychological pressure?

To solve the fundamental problem, everyone in the town should eliminate their fear of him and slowly accept him... Before that... Teresa put on her smile again, and when she walked out the door, she raised her head and said to the man: "Take good care of your injuries. I will come tomorrow morning."

The man nodded without thinking much.

Thinking of something again, the girl who had already left the house stopped again, turned her head and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Nancy Teresa. How about you?"

"Edward Newgate." The man replied without hesitation.

The author has something to say:

Daddy is 16 now and Teresa is 14.They will grow together, a great pirate and a great doctor...

Regarding the town of Katness, it is like the countryside where I lived when I was a child. The neighbor relationship is very good. No one will close the door, just drop by the door casually, and give the neighbors a taste if there is something delicious...

Thinking about the fun at that time, it was really a super big family...
