In order to thank Ian for curing the sick people in the village, the people in the village opened a banquet to entertain Ian, and Ian did not refuse, and sat down to eat and drink.
However, during the conversation with the bald head of the village, Ian also learned that there is indeed not much food in this village.
The Kingdom of Drum Island is now under the rule of King Walpo, but the problem is that Walpo is a selfish, autocratic and cruel king. He not only collects heavy taxes in his own country, but also issues a "hunting doctor" decree , Gathered all the famous doctors in the country under his command, without his orders, these doctors were not allowed to give any treatment and medical treatment.
Magnetic Drum Island was originally a big medical country, and the medical technology on the island is very advanced, but Walpo relies on this method to plunder the people's money wantonly. On the head of Walpo, only by offering a large sum of money can he get Walpo's permission to let the doctor see him.
Most of the residents on the island are ordinary people, and they live in the climate of Winter Island, so how could they not get sick? At this time, families with patients must be prepared to go bankrupt.
Now the citizens of the entire Drum Island dare not speak out against Valpo. Valpo is the ruler of the Kingdom of Magnetic Drum Island recognized by the world government and a frequent visitor at the World Conference. It's a devil fruit ability user. Without a leader, how can ordinary citizens have the ability to resist Walpo
So the people living on this island today, the most praying thing every day is that it is best not to get sick...
"Are there no other doctors on the island besides those who were recruited by the king?" Ian couldn't help asking.
"There are too!" The bald village chief sighed: "In fact, there is a doctor called 'Witch' on the island. Because it is said that she lived on Magnetic Drum Mountain, and would come flying from the sky on a moonlit night in a sleigh pulled by reindeer... "
Ian understood right away, the bald village chief was talking about Dr. Kureha, and the reindeer pulling the sled was undoubtedly Tony Tony Chopper!
Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but smile knowingly. In fact, when he landed in the Drum Island Kingdom, he was thinking about meeting Chopper, the blue-nosed reindeer. He didn't expect to hear about him here first.
The bald village chief sighed and said, "Actually, if you didn't show up, we would all be wondering if we would have asked the witch for help... because actually tonight is the night of the full moon, and the witch will come down the mountain on a sleigh to visit the doctor."
Ian raised his head, looked at the sky, and found that the sky was covered by thick clouds, the wind and snow hadn't stopped, and naturally he couldn't see any moon, so he couldn't help but wondered, "Will she appear in such weather?"
"Yes!" The bald village chief nodded and said, "There are no exceptions!"
Ian touched his chin and thought for a while, but he didn't say anything, and continued to eat and drink. It's already night, maybe he can wait here until Chopper and the others come. After all, Kureha already knew about the infectious disease in this village. .
Ian's guess was right. When the time came to around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, amidst the wind and snow, there was a sudden faint sound of bells.
Not only Ian heard this sound, but also the people in the village, so they rushed out of the house and looked towards the direction of Cigu Mountain in the distance.
The sound of the bell was getting closer and closer, and a vigorous reindeer could be seen appearing in mid-air amidst the wind and snow. This reindeer was pulling a sled and galloping in mid-air.
"Witch! It's the witch!" The people in the village shouted in horror.
Although many people know that Dr. Kureha is actually a doctor with superb medical skills, but the way this person appeared on the stage is so weird. Where have ordinary people seen a sled that can fly in the air, so they have always doubted Dr. Kureha is actually a witch who knows magic, and she is more feared than respected by her.
Only Ian knew that the sled that Chobala was driving was actually running on an iron cable. It was just a cableway connecting the mountain where Dr. Kuleha lived to the ground of the island. The sky is often covered with snow and wind, so few people can see clearly, causing people to misunderstand, thinking that the sled really flew down.
Not long after, Chobala came to the sky above the village with the sled, and then saw him jumping from the air with all his strength, and landed with the sled.
Dr. Kureha was wearing a stylish cropped jacket, and the sunglasses were pushed up on his forehead. The first thing he did after getting off the sled was to raise his head and drink a bottle of plum wine in his hand, and then had a good time Wiping the wine stains on her lips, she said to the people in the village who were staring blankly at her, "I heard that there is an infectious disease here? Where is the patient?"
Although Kureha looked old, his spirit was comparable to that of a young man. Ian had never seen an old woman dressed like a fashionable girl, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
After landing, Chopper wearing the hat has not spoken aloud. He is now in the form of a beast, so what people see is just a blue-nosed reindeer pulling a sled.
Kureha asked a question, but when she found that no one answered her, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She folded her hips and cursed arrogantly: "Bastards, didn't you hear what I said?"
At this time, the bald village chief finally came to his senses, and cautiously stepped forward to Kureha and said: "It is true that an infectious disease occurred, but... but it has been cured now!"
Kureha was taken aback, and asked, "It's cured? Did you go to beg the bastard King Valpo again? Really, it's because of your mentality that fueled that guy's arrogance!"
"No, it's not!" The bald village head quickly waved his hand and said, "We didn't ask the king. The one who cured the infectious disease was this young man from outside!"
While talking, the village head pointed to Ian.
Kuleha looked at Ian in surprise, and found that he was dressed so thinly, but he didn't seem to be cold at all. He immediately believed what the village chief said, and understood that Ian came from outside.
However, her reaction was somewhat unexpected by Ian, Kureha stepped forward, and when he came to Ian, he grabbed Ian by the collar, stared at him and said in a bad tone: "Boy! Where are you a doctor from? How dare you compete with my old lady for business!?"
Ian was speechless for a while, grabbing the business! ? This old woman, Kuleha, actually treats curing diseases and saving lives as a business
Of course, Ian also understands that this is probably Kureha's means of survival. After all, she and Chopper live on such a high mountain so far away that life is inconvenient, so it is understandable to use medical treatment to save lives in exchange for supplies to maintain life.
However, according to her frequency of appearing once a month, Ian understands why she charges a high price. This old woman simply doesn't open for a month, and she only eats for a month!
"Beauty!" Ian was not angry when Kuleha grabbed his collar, and said with a smile, "I'm not a doctor, don't make mistakes!"
The bald village chief and the villagers were stunned when they heard Ian call Kureha. They always called the old witch Kuleha a witch. They didn't expect this young man to dare to use "beauty" Come and call her!
The villagers were surprised, but it was obvious that Ian's title was very useful to Kuleha. Hearing this, Kuleha immediately burst into laughter, patted Ian on the shoulder and said, "Haha, boy, You are so funny! I like you!"
Ian smiled and said nothing. Now that he met Dr. Kureha and Chopper, Ian was also wondering if he should get some of her medical notes from her and bring them back to Erlanger. After all, Kureha Ha Ke is a doctor with superb medical skills, and she is also Qiaoba's medical teacher. For such a character, the research in her medical notes is probably also very powerful, right
Dr. Kureha is an old-hearted person. Ian's flattery made her feel very comfortable. However, she didn't immediately forgive Ian for grabbing business. After laughing, she asked Ian seriously. : "You said that you are not a doctor, so how did you cure those infectious patients? According to the news I got, the infectious disease here is very similar to lupus, which is a disease with a high fatality rate!"
"I just have a little special ability!" Ian didn't answer directly, but directly explained with this excuse.
Kureha wanted to ask something, but at this moment, Chopper, who turned into a reindeer, suddenly sniffed his nose, and with a panicked expression on his face, he leaned over and bit Kureha's slit with his mouth. He pulled the corner of his clothes a few times, and stamped his hoof vigorously at the same time.
He asked if there was a smell that disgusted him! But Chopper didn't dare to reveal the fact that he can speak in front of others, so he could only remind Kureha in this way.
