Mrs. Hudson's craftsmanship is good, but Cecily's taste has long been spoiled by Sylvester's cook, so she can't eat too much, and her appetite as a woman is naturally much smaller than that of Sherlock Holmes. Very few.

Cecily wanted to finish eating, but she was powerless and thanked Mrs. Hudson.Mrs. Hudson didn't think it was disobedient, but she was concerned that Cecily didn't look strong enough, so she should eat more.

Holmes noticed it and didn't comment. He just packed a small biscuit and put it in his carry-on bag.Holmes had much less luggage than Cecily.Cecily lugged a small suitcase, while Holmes was just a parcel.After getting into the carriage, Cecily was in the mood to joke: "It seems that I have brought too many things."

Holmes was stunned. He felt that this was expected, and he didn't bring it up at first: "It's not true, it's just that I'm used to keeping things simple when I go out. I think you are usually busy with your studies and don't have much time."

Cecily was a little embarrassed: "I also asked the maid in my brother's house to help with the luggage. I really haven't traveled much. She thinks that I won't be used to using a toothbrush outside, so I have prepared everything."

Holmes smiled knowingly.

After Cecily brought up this topic herself, she also felt that there was nothing to talk about. Sherlock Holmes had already closed her eyes to rest her mind, and she closed her eyes to rest her mind. She heard the rumbling sound of the train before opening her eyes.

Holmes nimbly jumped out of the carriage to pay the bill, turned around and glanced at Cecily, seeing that Cecily was not struggling to carry the luggage, so he had some idea in his mind.

Holmes had already bought the tickets, and the two entered the railway station together.

This was Cecily's first time taking a train here. She was a bit novel, and the crowded crowd around her didn't displease her. She closely followed Holmes' footsteps and took the time to look around.

The security measures on the side of the train were not so strict, and the speed of the train was not so fast at this time, and there were many people who got on the train in a hurry after the train left, stuck themselves on the side of the door, and then closed the door.

After the two found their seats and sat down, Cecily's novelty was not over yet.

She looked out the window and saw a gentleman with a top hat and a gentle lady. She actually liked the women's clothing of this era, but it was really bad for her body to put on a waist.

Noticing that Holmes' eyes fell on her, Cecily woke up immediately: "What's wrong?"

"I just think you seem to be quite a novelty." Holmes smiled lowly.

Cecily was a little embarrassed. She should have taken a train before, but she really hadn't taken a train in this era (it might have been, but she couldn't remember it), although the train slowly and the green-skinned people in the future Nothing can compare to a train, let alone a high-speed rail. Cecily still finds it quite interesting.

"It's just that I haven't gone out to play for a long time, and I'm a little excited." She smiled, and that kind of embarrassment began to emerge again.

Holmes nodded to express his understanding: "You are not sleepy now, maybe we can talk about the case mentioned in your letter?"

Cecily was not surprised that Holmes immediately got to the point. For Mr. Holmes, interesting cases naturally aroused his interest more than the scenery outside the window.

She thought about it, but didn't quite know where to start.

Holmes saw Cecily's hesitation at a glance, and reminded: "Let's start with your patient."

"The chief complaint..." Cecily just popped out the words in the medical record, then stopped immediately, and changed the phrase, "It is the patient, named Fleming. Fleming was born in Green Village, and later read it himself. He found a job in London and didn’t go back for a long time. Until a month before coming to the hospital, he began to slowly blur his vision—at first he thought it was just his eyes being tired, so he took a vacation, but later found that the situation It was getting worse and worse. When he came to our hospital, he was already blind in one eye. During the hospitalization, we kept carefully observing and checking the cause, but it was useless, and his other eye was also blinded soon. .”

"As far as I know, the current medical treatment for eye diseases..."

"Yes, and it's not a routine eye disease, at least no doctor in our hospital has seen it." When Cecily talked about her major, her face was serious, "Actually, theoretically speaking, I should have no intersection with him. You know I am not an ophthalmologist, but my teacher has his case in case of need for surgery. They suspected that Fleming had concealed his medical history. Later, when Fleming’s family came to visit, they were very frightened and advised Fleming gave up the treatment, and I happened to be there at the time, so I heard all about it."

"I don't know exactly what the reason is. It probably means that there is a curse in Green Village. Many men have this problem. They said that they didn't expect Mr. Fleming to leave Green Village so hard, but he was still arrested. The curse is entangled," Cecily thought slowly, "Mr. Fleming seems to be unfamiliar with this period of history, and he doesn't know the origin of the so-called curse. I heard from his family that he was probably a rich man in Green Village. , being forced by another rich man to leave his hometown by an outsider, according to what they said, human life was involved. At that time, there was an uproar in the village, and everyone knew that the outsider had a problem, but no one stood up. Then they all got their payback."

"Did everyone suffer retribution?" Holmes raised his eyebrows.

"No." Cecily shook her head, "I don't know the details, that's all I can hear."

Holmes laughed softly: "Medical students... oh no, you are about to become a doctor. As a doctor, what factors do you think?"

As a doctor, she thinks it is a genetic disease.However, there are no genetic diseases in this era.So Cecily had no opinion.She considered it for a while, and she didn't want to show that she hadn't thought about it: "I don't believe in the existence of the so-called curse, but I think my doubt is more reasonable than what you say is doubtful."

Holmes was stunned, he didn't expect Cecily to say such a thing.

'than you suspected'?

"It seems that you have some understanding of my thinking mode. Tell me what I doubt?" Holmes was very interested.

"The result we saw was that he was blind, he was either sick or poisoned. As for being beaten up or something, I don't think such scars or medical history can hide from all the doctors who consulted for him, and he except There is no other problem with the ophthalmic symptoms," Cecily replied pertinently, "It's like I suspect a disease more, and you must suspect a poison more."

Holmes's smile widened, his fingers were folded, and his eyes were fixed on her.

"Because you must think that if you are sick, it doesn't make sense for people in a village to get sick together, which is too unreasonable," Cecily was encouraged under such gazes, "and you think that the relationship between these sick people There must be a connection."

Holmes gave a rare hearty laugh.

"Ha, you've got the point... Yes, I, like you, regard curses as absurd remarks, but since such a coincidence happened, I can only suspect that it is due to human intentions."

Cecily wanted to explain the genetic disease, but she didn't know how to organize her voice.Thinking about it, it may not be a genetic disease, maybe it is really some kind of poison that cannot be explained by existing science... Anyway, her appearance here is something that science cannot explain.She felt a little sad.

During these times, she almost forgot about her past life... She seldom thought about it, and when she suddenly realized, the memory of her past life was already very blurred.She intentionally wrote down the notes, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she wrote a short article in Chinese and put it together with Mr. Holmes' letter, reminding herself not to forget.

It's a pity that her hands are a little rusty even in Chinese.

Normally, after he praised Sylvester, Sylvester would definitely respond with a few words, maybe it was humility or more enthusiastic praise, but today he seems to be a little distracted again, with a vain look in his eyes. Looking at the mid-air, it seems to be looking at him but it seems not to be there.Holmes felt a little strange, and for some reason he called her.

"Sylvester?"

He called Cecily twice before returning to his senses.

"What are you thinking?"

Noticing the concern in her friend's eyes, Cecily felt a little embarrassed: "It's nothing, I was just thinking, if it's really a disease, it's rare, I'm better than you."

Holmes laughed. He knew that Sylvester would never be obsessed with such a thing for a long time. Maybe he was thinking about the possibility that this situation was some kind of unknown disease, but he didn't expose his friend's joke.

For some reason, when the eyes of the two met, they subconsciously turned away and looked out the window.

Cecily saw the other side of this country, the continuous grassland and the blue sky. Today there are no clouds, the view outside is also wide, and the train is still bumping. This feeling makes the scene more human.

There is nothing in the world, and it is bothering to be disturbed by mediocrity.

Probably because she was in a better mood again, Cecily couldn't help but curl her lips, and before turning her gaze away, she saw Mr. Holmes' eyes on the glass window.

He is looking at her.
