Chapter 401

The fire in the direction of the square dazzled Dr. Shiloh's eyes. He sighed, picked up some firewood from the storage warehouse and walked to the house. After entering the house, the doctor closed the door with his feet and blocked the cold wind outside the house.

The town has been under martial law for several days. Since those outsiders came to the town, pavarich has undergone earth shaking changes. Overnight, Fred, the chairman of the hunter Union, was imprisoned, the mayor Mensa and the guard were killed, and the town changed hands overnight. The mayor's throne fell into the hands of Sharon, the chairman of the chamber of Commerce, but everyone with a clear eye knows that Sharon is just a dog under those outsiders. It's not right for him to be the mayor.

However, under the powerful force of thousands of soldiers, no one dares to object.

Fortunately, outsiders did not harass citizens after issuing martial law and curfew orders through Sharon, the puppet mayor. Most of the troops they brought stayed in the snow field to the west of the town, and retreated into the silver frost forest in recent days. I don't know what they are covering up. This made the town residents talk, and Dr. Shiloh heard several rumors.

Dr. Shiloh is one of the few doctors in the town. His medical skills are not very good. The patients who come to him for diagnosis usually have only minor diseases and pain. But Dr. Shiloh has a good temper, a warm personality, and is willing to help others. This made him quite popular in the town, so his small clinic could survive.

But the recent martial law has made Dr. Shiloh's income a little tight. If this continues, he will soon have no money to buy food. But there was still a wife and three children to support at home. Dr. Shiloh even considered whether he had to borrow money from his neighbors and friends to buy food and water. The cold winter is still very long, but the situation in the town doesn't know how long it will last.

In this seemingly endless wait, today something happened that surprised Dr. Shiloh and other residents of the town.

Two messengers were sent from the city of bides, and it is rumored that they came for pavaric.

When Dr. Shiloh put the firewood by the fireplace, he just saw his child lying outside the window looking in the direction of the square.

"Mary, let them down," Dr. Shiloh called to the kitchen.

His wife Mary, a slightly fat woman, came out of the kitchen. Mary smiled gently at her husband and said, "leave them alone, honey. They're just curious. Is there enough firewood? If not, I'll cut some back tomorrow."

The doctor's daily work is to go around the clinic, and his wife Mary takes care of some trivial work at home. Mary has had a hard time these years. The doctor remembered that Mary was still a green girl when she married herself. But now, her hands have grown calluses.

Dr. Shiloh shook his head and said, "no, if there is not enough firewood, I will cut some back myself. Anyway, the clinic can't open recently, so I'll stay."

He added, "you'd better let the children down. I always think what's happening in the town is not simple. Don't get into unnecessary trouble."

Mary nodded and went to the window to pull the children apart. Dr. Shiloh threw the firewood into the fireplace piece by piece. He tried to scatter the firewood as much as possible, so that there was enough space between them for the wood to be completely lit, so as to provide enough heating for the house. The flame leaped like the light from the square. The messengers of the city of Beatrice were in the square to attend the banquet held by Sharon for them. Dr. Shiloh listened to the people from the square. It was a tall and terrible monster.

The doctor's thoughts were flying. A spark of inspiration burst out in his mind. Dr. Shiloh picked up a piece of firewood but didn't throw it into the fireplace. It suddenly occurred to him whether the reason for the outsiders to stay in pavaric was due to the city of bidith?

Just then, the door was knocked. Shiloh's heart pounded for no reason. The inexplicable panic made him almost want to escape from the house through the back door. But as soon as he saw his frightened wife and the confused children, Dr. Shiloh took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

"Who?" cried Dr. Shiloh.

An old voice sounded outside the door: "Dr. Shiloh? This is rob. Would you please open the door?"

Through the curtains, Dr. Shiloh saw the figure outside the door and knew that rob was not alone. And this rob is no stranger to Shiloh. He is the director and housekeeper of Sharon's Owl firm. Since rob came to the door, something big must have happened.

However, Shiloh just wanted to finish the whole body. After all, he knows that for ordinary people like him, the so-called big things that happen to him may not be a good thing.

The door opened, and old rob came in impolitely. There were also several tough soldiers behind old rob. These soldiers had no expression, but they had a sense of killing in the depths of their eyes. Hilo knew that these people were the troops brought by outsiders. Pavaric's guards were neither as strong as them nor their deep killing intention in the bone marrow.

"What's the matter, Mr. rob?" Dr. Shiloh asked as calmly as he could.

Old rob grinned and said, "Congratulations, Dr. Shiloh. Something happened in our old neighbor bides city. It's a disease. These neighbors hope we can send a doctor to them. Mr. Sharon chose you. This time, you represent our whole pavaric. What a glory."

"No," said Mary in horror, "why Shiloh, Mr. rob. Please tell Mr. Sharon that in terms of medical skills, the skills of doctors Jess and madeira are still better than my husband. They are more suitable candidates!"

"Madam, I'm just responsible for delivering messages. I don't know why." old Robert nodded to Mary and then said to Dr. Shiloh: "Prepare yourself, doctor. Also, to pay tribute to Dr. Shiloh, your wife and your children will be taken care of by Mr. Sharon these days when you go to the city of BEDIS. You don't have to worry about their food and clothing."

Shiloh changed her color and said, "Mr. rob, I appreciate Mr. Sharon's kindness. As for the food and clothing of Mary and the children, I don't think Mr. Sharon should worry. They can live well by themselves."

Old Rob's face changed and he snorted coldly, "Dr. Shiloh, you just do what Mr. Sharon wants. I don't think you need to tell me how to do it."

After that, old rob winked at the soldiers behind him. Several soldiers immediately tightened their rifles and pushed Shiloh with the muzzle of their guns. Therefore, in the frightened cries of the children, the Shiloh family had no time to eat dinner, so they were "invited" out of the warm house and took a car to Sharon's villa.

Mary and the children were taken away by Sharon's servants, while Dr. Shiloh followed old rob to Sharon's study. Old rob knocked on the door, but a woman's voice sounded in the door: "come in."

Old rob opened the door and asked Dr. Shiloh to go in. Up to now, Dr. Shiloh can only go into the study with a hard head. But now there is a beautiful woman sitting in Sharon's position. The woman's whole body gives people a capable breath and a touch of dignity. This dignity is a characteristic of people who have been in the top position for many years. So Shiloh knows that this woman is Sharon Behind the boss.

Old rob said respectfully to the woman, "Dear Miss Beyonce, I have brought you the person you want."

The woman named Beyonce nodded and waved to old rob to step back. At this time, Shiloh found that on the sofa on the other side of the study, a young man with an Asian face was quietly reading the book. Perhaps due to professional sensitivity, Shiloh smelled a faint smell of blood on the man. Shiloh's face became ugly. It usually had this smell of blood, didn't she The body that has just been killed is a man with blood on his hands.

People who make Shiloh feel terrible. The man's expression when reading is so calm, which reminds Shiloh that he must also have this calm face when killing.

Nothing is more terrible than a calm killer.

A light cough made Shiloh divert her attention from zero and landed on the young woman who was playing with a golden pen.

Beyonce said faintly, "Dr. Shiloh, you should know why you were called here. Yes, because you need to go to the city of Beatrice to see what diseases our neighbors have. I want to see you at this time so that you can persuade our good neighbors to transfer the patients to pavarich by whatever means."

"You are a good doctor, a good husband and a good father. I don't think you will refuse my request, will you?"

Dr. Shiloh said emphatically, "dear lady, I listen to you whatever you want me to do. I just beg you to let Mary and my children go."

Beyonce said with a smile, "don't worry. They will live better here than anyone in the town. As long as I see the patients in bidith arrive in pavarich, they can not only go home, but also get a sum of money. A sum of money enough for them to spend a long time."

In the face of absolute power, the wishes of ordinary people, no matter how strong, can not change the status quo. Like Dr. Shiloh, in fact, he does not hold any hope, and Beyonce's commitment to him has exceeded his expectations. If Sharon, Shiloh believes that he still has to do what he wants, but he can't expect any benefit.

Soon, Shiloh went down and prepared for tomorrow's departure. Beyonce stretched herself and looked at the zero who was still reading quietly. She asked, "do you know why I chose Shiloh?"

"Isn't it obvious? As you have said, he is a good man." he doesn't return to the tunnel.

Beyonce smiled and said, "you're angry."

"No. I just can't understand why the beautiful side of human nature determines that it has the value of being used or even sacrificed. In other words, this era doesn't need kindness. Does everyone have to give up good and follow evil in order to live?"

"It seems that you don't approve of my doing so. But you know that it will take a lot of trouble if you use other methods. Now, there is no time in the city of Beatrice, and neither do we."

Zero closed the book, looked at Beyonce and said calmly, "yes, I know. So I don't agree, but I don't object."

Beyonce nodded, "because it's up to me, not you."

"So my goal is more firm." zero stood up and walked towards the door: "only when I become the superior, can I also have the right to decide, don't I?"

When the door closed, there was only Beyonce left in the study. Beyonce thought about it, smiled, shook her head and said, "zero, in fact, what you said is not all right. This era does not need kindness, but if you want to support good, it needs more power than evil. And now, I don't have this power, and you don't either."

One room in the villa was dimly lit. Dr. Shiloh looked at the children who went to bed after eating and drinking, and gently kissed them on their young faces. This may be the last time he kisses these lovely children. When he goes tomorrow, even Dr. Shiloh knows that he has a pitiful chance of coming back. The speculation turned out to be true. The outsider really took the idea of the city of BEDIS, and then pushed it that the noble woman and others took a fancy to the rich black gold in the city of BEDIS.

A dispute over interests.

This is a game between superiors, but for ordinary people, it is a drama of life and death. Just like Dr. Shiloh at the moment, he didn't want to leave, but he couldn't help it. Mary fell behind him, crying silently, and repressed sadness flowed in the small room.

"Why don't we run away," Mary whispered after crying.

Dr. Shiloh smiled gently, hugged his wife and said, "don't be silly. We can't escape. Do as they say. In case I don't come back, you can continue to live and live better than now."

Mary shook her head and wanted to say something, but she blocked Dr. Shiloh's mouth with her hand: "promise me, Mary. No matter what happens, even for our children. You should take them to live. Children are our future!"

Mary's eyes burst into tears again, but this time she tried her best to focus on her head.

The next day, in the early morning, Dr. Shiloh went out of Sharon's villa. A six legged horse has been prepared for Dr. Shiloh. It will be the doctor's ride to the city of bidith. The giant Huoxian had been walking back and forth impatiently at the gate. He wanted to catch the little human doctor and rush back to the city of BEDIS. But Huoxian knew that the thin body of ordinary humans could not stand its galloping all the way, so Huoxian only hoped that the mutant horse in front of him could run fast enough.

Shiloh was sent to the door by Sharon and others. This is the highest standard farewell ceremony in the town. Shiloh has seen Huoxian like a monster. If it is normal, it will scare the combination of Huoxian and lobster to death. But now, he is very calm.

He even turned around, waved to the different wives and children on the edge of the corridor, and then rode on a six legged horse with the help of his servants.

A quarter of an hour later, Dr. Shiloh left the town and followed Huoxian into the vast snowfield. He looked back and took a deep look at the outline of the town behind him, hoping to engrave it deeply in his heart. Because the doctor knows that he may not be able to come back.
