The Dragon That Devours the World

Chapter 42: Doctors of the Jewish Province

"You eat first... and then..."

In the mud house built of mud, a young man who looked less than thirty years old was patiently admonishing the patient in front of him. This is a typical Jewish farmer, wearing crude clothes and strong arms. A good farmer who is good at farm work, but in front of young people who are much younger than him, he is very conscientious.

There is no reason for him, because there is a large area of ​​pus and rotten place on his bare calf, and the layer of blood crust left by repeated scratching, it can be seen that it is not only recent. For him, it can be. It is a good thing that a doctor is willing to solve a disease that keeps him awake at night, but how can he disrespect him?

After the young man had finished speaking, in front of him, the five-and-three crude Jewish farmer seemed a little restrained at this moment, and whispered:

"Doctor, I don't have money...what should I do?"

No money? The young man's face was taken aback, but then he smiled:

"It's okay, you just need to give me a small bag of barley."

In this era, many civilians at the bottom have never seen metal currency at all, and they usually exchange money for goods. Therefore, young people are not surprised by what the farmers say.

"thanks, thanks……"

In the excitement of the Jewish peasants’ eyes, the young man just smiled. After applying the medicine and receiving the payment, he continued to carry his own bag, rode on his donkey, and went to other places for help again. The patient went.

...

The night is getting dark, wild.

By the bright campfire, the young man was sitting by the campfire. It was dark all around. Only the flames in front of him were crackling and burning. From time to time, some wood was added to the middle to prevent the fire from extinguishing. On the side, the donkey was tied up. Called from aside from time to time.

Just before dawn, the young man visited several patients. Some family members came to visit after hearing about his reputation, begging him to treat his seriously ill parents, children, brothers, and some of them were treated by him. Yes, regardless of the severity of the illness, he would always try his best to treat these patients, but because of this, he delayed the time so that he could not return to the city before dark.

However, these things are commonplace when going out to practice medicine, and he doesn't think it.

Looking at the night sky above, in the sky full of dazzling stars, the night sky seemed quiet and vast, which made people feel awe-inspiring. In this troubled world, only occasionally raising his head and looking at the stars in the night sky can make this young man feel a little more relaxed.

People say that gods live above the starry sky, but if gods really exist, why should the world be filled with so many sufferings?

The young man was silent, and all the sights he saw during the day could not help but come to mind, those who had broken hands and feet because of accidents, or were disabled because of beasts attacked, or suffered because of illnesses. , All made him sigh. As a doctor, he has seen many lives and deaths, but every time he sees life and death, he still feels complicated.

"Why... why do people have to die."

All kinds of confusion entangled his mind, but even the current scholars would have to ponder these questions, let alone such a small doctor.

Suddenly, the light flickered beside him, and before he could react, several people jumped out of the bushes.

"stop!"

With this violent drink, the doctor who was about to get up froze, because he was right beside him...Several people with swords in their hands had surrounded him.

The head was a sturdy man with brown hair and a scar on his cheek. He looked at him with a gloomy expression. The long sword in his hand pressed against the young man’s throat, and the cold blade rubbed his skin with a sharp edge. If not, the muscles of the young man's body are stiff and he dare not move anymore.

"Hand over things and let you die."

The low voice said, and someone beside him had already flipped the young man's bag to see what was there.

Encountered a robber...

The young man's heart raised his throat, secretly groaning, his palm oozing sweat, but he didn't dare to move, he could only stammer.

"I...I'm a doctor, there is nothing to grab..."

"Head, here are a few small bags of barley and some garlic and some dinars."

But at this moment, one person shouted, and immediately, the strong man in front of him looked at the young man with a gloomy expression.

It's over...

The young man sighed secretly in his heart, but at this moment...

"Hanna? Are you Hanna?"

A surprised and suspicious young voice sounded, and then a thin man walked out of the few people, looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and said in surprise.

The voice made the young man feel a little familiar, and then the young man looked at the face in front of him, and the old memories began to recall... It was only in his impression that it was a shy young man, and the image of a gangster holding a sword at this moment. Completely inconsistent, he said hesitantly.

"Liber?"

"Yes! It's me."

The excited thin man said excitedly, and then he hurriedly explained to the strong man beside him.

"This is Hanna, Hanna of Nazareth. He is a doctor who has saved my father and me in the past."

Immediately afterwards, the thin man turned his head and looked at Han Na in front of him, he couldn't help but said.

"God, I actually pointed a sword at my benefactor..."

...

The campfire continued to burn, but this time, there were a few more people beside the campfire, and Hana, who was alone, had an additional conversation partner, Lieber.

"... Since Pilate became governor, these days have become more and more sad."

To Hana, Burley shook his head while talking.

The territory of the Roman Empire was vast, but it was also difficult to manage local affairs, so in name many places were the territory of the Roman Empire, but in fact they were still managed by the local kings, and these kingdoms existed in the form of vassal states. The Jewish kingdom, located on the border of the Roman Empire near the Partilla Empire, was ruled by King Eld, who had the blood of the Jewish king.

However, before and after the birth of Hanna, Caesar’s adopted son Octavius, as the emperor, weakened the Jewish kingdom and integrated most of the area into a Jewish province, leaving only the Galilee area for King Eld. And Bendo Pilate was the governor of the Jewish province appointed by the second emperor Tiberius after the death of Octavian.

This imperial governor is an imperial citizen born in Rome. Even the Roman citizens of Rome mainland and the Italian provinces have a deep sense of superiority, let alone these border provinces that are far inferior to the Italian provinces. . Since serving as the Jewish governor, he has tried to strengthen the local worship of Caesar. The Jews do not like to worship idols and oppose the erection of statues. However, he has to erect statues of Caesar everywhere, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Jewish community, to the extent that Caused repeated religious conflicts.

The city of Nazareth where Hanna lives is an inconspicuous small city in the Jewish kingdom. It belongs to the Galilee area under the territory of King Eld~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and it is not under Pilate's jurisdiction. Not much is known.

During the conversation, Hanna learned that they were all dissatisfied and rebelled against Pilate’s administration, so that they were violently suppressed by Pilate and had to flee their original homeland, gathered together to rob and cross the road. People make a living.

"What about your father."

As he said, Hanna asked, but then he realized that he was asking the wrong question. In front of him, Lie's face dimmed and he didn't speak any more, just shook his head bitterly.

With that photo taken, she finally let out a silent sigh.

How difficult is the world, how can he blame them? In this era of low lives, everyone is just floating duckweed and can't help themselves.

Since then, there has been nothing to say.

Only after dawn, Lieber deliberately took a few of his companions to take Hana to a place not far from the city of Nazareth. Until Hana walked far away, he looked back, and in the distance, it was already like a dark spot. The same shy young man seemed to be waving at him vaguely...
