[One Piece] Uncrowned King

From that day on, Teresa went to the hut where Newgate lived every day to deliver food and clean up for him who was seriously injured and could not be too tired.If Dr. Nancy couldn't come back to eat when she was away from a doctor's appointment, she would simply bring vegetables to Newgate's house and cook them fresh.

After what happened last time, the aunts and young people who came to help after being persuaded by Teresa also let go of their guard when getting along with the big man. They are no longer as scared as they were before. He sent some daily necessities and food.Although most people on the island are still keeping a respectful distance from this big foreign man, it's just because they are not familiar with him.Teresa thought so, and when Newgate recovered from his injuries, she would take him for a walk around the city and get to know everyone, and the fear of outsiders would naturally dissipate.

After more than a month, Newgate's injuries have fully recovered. His body is stronger than ordinary people, and his body's recovery ability is also very fast. It's just that Dr. Nancy is worried, so he abruptly It took so long.But even so, Teresa still delivers meals to him every day, but she doesn't need to help clean up.

"I've recovered." At lunch one day, Newgate reminded, the subtext is that instead of delivering meals every day, he can do it himself.

"I know, but Dad has been going out every day recently, and I'm bored at home alone." Teresa put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, and sighed: "And the patient is very sick, and Dad needs to watch him all the time." , My skills are not at home, and I can't follow. So during this time, I will be alone."

"You can't be considered leisurely." For her character, Newgate has already felt it clearly during this time.Contrary to her demure appearance, she likes to look for trouble when she has nothing to do, as long as she is idle for a while, she feels uncomfortable all over her body.Therefore, the cabin he lives in has been refurbished many times by the people in front of him. Not only are trees with strange smells said to be able to ward off wild beasts planted outside, but now there are gorgeous and fragrant flowers that are said to be able to detoxify.

"It's really free. Grandma Ci'an's illness is cured, and her daughter has also hired a part-time worker. I don't need to help deliver meals. Uncle Dolly's leg has also healed, and I don't need to change the medicine. And Lima My elder brother's wife has finished her confinement, so she doesn't need me to cook health soup. The uncles who build roads in the village don't need my help...it's really free..." Suddenly there was nothing to do, Teresa seemed to be listless The same, lost vitality.Suddenly thought of something, she sat up and said, "That's right, Newgate, remember to water the flowers outside, it is used to neutralize the poisonous gas of the Qiqimu tree outside." The smell from the Qiqimu tree The smell can keep wild beasts and bugs away, but if you smell it too much, it will be harmful to the human body. After planting cinnamon flowers, the poisonous gas will be counteracted.

"Yeah." Newgate nodded to show he understood. He raised his light golden eyes, stared at the girl who seemed to be in a good mood humming in front of him, and couldn't help asking, "Do you treat everyone like this?"

"Huh?" What does that mean?Teresa was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "If it's about treating patients, I've always been like this."

"Really." Newgate lowered his eyes and continued to eat.

Teresa glanced at the rice in her hand, picked it up and said, "But big people are special, I will take special care of them."

special?

"..." Newgate stopped eating.

"Other people live in the town and neighbors can take care of each other, but you live so far away and have no relatives around you, so you need to take special care of them." Teresa said, swallowing one by one Rice in a bowl.Generally, when she is full and can no longer eat, she will force herself to swallow it like this, insisting on the principle of not leaving a single grain of rice.

It turned out to be so special...

When the light golden eyes stared at her frowning and swallowed the rice one by one, she really couldn't see it, Newgate frowned and said, "If you don't want to eat, don't force it."

"No, it's grown by Uncle Gate, it's very hard..." Teresa educated him while swallowing rice and retching.

"Okay." He stretched out his big hand to take the small bowl from Teresa's hand, poured the remaining rice grains into his own bowl with a spoon, and then ate all the remaining rice two or three times , then stood up and began to clear the table.

Teresa still kept holding the bowl, and watched blankly as he cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and the dishes that had been eaten. After a long time, she came back to her senses and muttered softly: "...This is not very good." She raised her head and hurriedly said to Newgate's back: "I'll forget it, big man, you have to remember, you can't do this when you have dinner with others in the future! It's okay if the other party catches a cold or has other infectious diseases." !"

Hearing this sentence, Newgate paused, his body seemed to press the pause button for a moment, he didn't speak, just nodded, and quickly opened the door and went out to fetch water and wash the dishes.Teresa, who left thick lines, picked up the rag and began to clean the oil stains on the table.

The occupational disease of the doctor's girl is that she can't get cute. Shouldn't ordinary girls think of indirect kissing, saliva and so on...

After cleaning the house, Newgate also returned to the wooden house with the washed dishes in his arms.As soon as he put away the bowls and chopsticks, he saw Teresa stepping on the bench and searching for something in the upper cabinet. The furniture and daily necessities at home were all delivered by people from the town, and Teresa arranged them. , so even though this wooden house is his residence now, his familiarity with it is not as high as Teresa's.

He took out the mask from the cabinet above, and handed the long knife to Newgate, and Teresa also put a bow and arrow on her back, and a long knife stuck in her waist.She took out a bright yellow headband, tied her long hair high into a ponytail, and tied her long skirt into a short skirt. Then she picked up the water bottle and said to Newgate: "Ready, we Let's go to the mountains together! It just rained the day before yesterday, the temperature is relatively cool, and the road in the mountains is also dry, so don't worry about the mud."

"Okay." Without any hesitation, Newgate agreed.

"Don't you even ask why we are going to the mountain, just agree so quickly." Teresa smiled and locked the door.

"No need." Newgate replied without turning his head.

"Really, you are not familiar with the place where you were born, and you are not afraid that I will abduct you to the market and sell you." Teresa walked beside him. There was a big difference in the size of the two of them, a bit like an adult and a child on an outing.

"Sell it?" Newgate snorted and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "If you dare to sell it, it depends on who dares to buy it."

Hearing these domineering words, Teresa raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

This seemingly honest big man doesn't seem to be as gentle as usual...
