Arknights is too real, right?

Life is so wonderful.

Even if he wants to give up some things, he will turn back after a long circle.

Whether it is the bagpipe or the vine doctor, they are all related to his experience in Victoria. Even across the sea, the bonds planted before are still in effect.

According to Bagpipe herself, she resigned from the military and also had her Victorian citizenship certificate cancelled.

The former is understandable to Xia Feng, but the latter seems meaningless, because even Victorian citizens are allowed to leave their own country.

Bagpipe may have done this just to firm up her position, just like what she said before.

She said that becoming a soldier was not her ideal, but something she thought she had to do, more like a responsibility.

Now, she no longer needs to bear this responsibility, and Victoria's winter is completely over.

In addition to assassinating Frey, perhaps she and Xia Feng came to the East Kingdom for the same reason: they wanted to pursue a new life, stay away from conflicts, and experience the beautiful side of the world.

Of course, if that's all, she has more choices besides Dongguo.

The reason why she followed Xia Feng's footsteps was because she saw Xia Feng's fragile side when they were parting at the Royal Cemetery in Londinium.

Even though her time with Xia Feng was short compared to Black Feather's companions, there were some things that only she knew.

She knew that Xia Feng, who was in a high position in the Supervisory Office at the time, deliberately let go of infected people who were underage when dealing with the crimes of infected people. This did not do any good to Xia Feng at that time.

At the same time, she also knew that for the sake of a little girl who died of unknown causes in an infected area, Xia Feng lost control and sent all the military and police officers involved in the case to the hospital.

Because of this incident, he lost his identity as the director of the Special Operations Division.

It can be seen from this that Xia Feng is a person who thinks twice and is also an extremely contradictory existence. While doing ruthless work, he still maintains his original intention of being kind and soft.

It is precisely because of this that when Bagpipe learned in the Northern Military Region that Xia Feng had assembled an army of millions of infected people to attack the north, she was deeply shocked.

Because only she knew how much inner suffering Xia Feng, who tried his best to protect the survival interests of the infected, endured when he made the choice to take the infected to death.

But in the end, he did it.

Moreover, he gave up everything he had gained with his life and left Victoria alone.

Because for him, letting go is the real protection.

After witnessing the entire dark age from the perspective of a bystander, Bagpipe still doesn't understand what kind of original intention supported this man named Xia Feng to accomplish all this.

Like a gust of wind, it arrived silently, only to deliver the king in his heart to the throne, leaving behind a bright empire.

Then, left alone.

After witnessing an era, some people sang about victory and some lamented about peace, but few people would fix their sights on a certain person.

Bagpipe didn't know why Xia Feng did this. Even if he wasn't understood, he still had to stubbornly complete it.

But she knew that there was one more trustworthy person in her own life.

In this world, Bagpipe only fully trusts two people. One is Chen Huijie, an alumnus of her school days at the Royal Guards College, and the other is Xia Feng at this moment.

If her ideal life can be spent with one of these people, then it is an ideal life for her.

As long as she is with someone she trusts, no matter which country she is in, she can build her own home from scratch. This process is the life she longs for.

Half a month later, Dr. Nagato, who went to Xichuan to buy medicine, came back.

Seeing that Xia Feng could move to the yard to bask in the sun, Chang Teng sighed with Xia Feng's extraordinary physique and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

The Sakura Takeshi family's search for the assassin continues, and as time goes by, the focus of the search is also placed on more distant villages and towns.

But no one knew that Xia Feng had been staying in Gulan Town, 200 kilometers away from Dongzhou Prefecture, to recuperate.

In the clinic, Chang Teng, who had just returned home, immediately checked Xia Feng's physical condition.

Well, the wound on the back has healed well. Only the penetrating wound on the chest still has some symptoms of infection, but the overall situation is very optimistic. The medicine I brought back this time will be very effective.

Nagatō couldn't make much money in a year by opening this shabby medical clinic. You didn't need to ask anyone to know that the medicine he went to Xichuan to buy must be very expensive.

However, Xia Feng was not polite, because he could see that Chang Teng enjoyed it.

Dr. Nagato, thank you.

Nagato smiled.

Don't say that. It's me who should thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to repay your kindness.

In order to achieve a radical cure, Chang Teng performed another wound treatment for Xia Feng, which was equivalent to a small surgery.

Clean the skin margin, remove necrotic and inactivated tissue, remove foreign bodies, treat the cracked ribs, and finally suture the wound.

After finishing everything, he used the medicine brought back from Xichuan. In addition to external medicine, there was also a medical method that was very rare in the East.

That's right, it's an intravenous injection, also known as a sling bottle.

Such injection equipment and drugs must have flowed in from abroad, but because Dongguo is very closed to trade, there are almost no high-end medical products on the market.

As a doctor who has traveled to many countries, Nagato must have spent a lot of effort to find it.

This drug is supposed to be a highly effective antibiotic.

After the operation, the infection in the chest was completely contained, the ulcerated skin began to shrink and scab, and the wound healed very smoothly.

A week later, the chest pain was replaced by numbness, accompanied by itching as the wound healed.

Half a month later, the skin surface of the wound had basically healed. This kind of serious injury that usually takes 3 months to heal, Xia Feng had the stitches removed in less than 1 month.

Of course, only the surface is healed.

Because it was a penetrating injury, according to Dr. Nagato's experience, it would be difficult for him to engage in heavy physical labor, let alone swordsmanship, for at least the next six months.

Xia Feng was completely indifferent to this result.

With Frey's problem solved, he no longer had anything to work hard to accomplish, which was in line with his thoughts.

After surviving a catastrophe and losing his military power, he is more suitable to be a complete ordinary person.

The world is so big that apart from the countries and camps he knows, there are many unknown corners.

There are still many places he wants to go to and many people he wants to meet, but before that, he wants to settle his heart first.

Some people have the heart of a king, but in the end they can only become a salted fish. But he became a king, but he always loved the life of a salted fish.

There is nothing wrong with salted fish. At least, bagpipes and dogs will always accompany him in this strange country.

He also wanted to experience for himself how comfortable the pastoral life described by Bagpipe was.
