Injury

Otto only remembered that as soon as he was escorted to this planet, some bugs who claimed to be members of the Noah Base came to him and forced him to sign an agreement to pledge allegiance to the base after the end of his sentence.

There is still one month left before he officially starts serving his sentence. Before that, he should have stayed in the detention center as required by regulations.

But the escort officer around him turned a blind eye to such gangster behavior and allowed the so-called members of the Noah Base to take him away.

Two people are in cahoots with each other, and snakes and rats belong to the same nest.

No wonder there are rumors that being exiled to an abandoned planet is more painful than being hanged.

Otto joined the army as a nobleman and had only suffered on the battlefield since he was a child. After leaving the battlefield, he was the first major general respected by the people. Even after being convicted, public opinion in the empire was still speaking up for him.

However, during the week he was captured at Noah's base, he was whipped and threatened, and his flesh was pierced and his tendons and bones were broken by his own compatriots.

Fortunately, his perseverance and sharpness did not deteriorate because of the pain. On the seventh day, he finally waited for the prisoner to reveal a flaw. He knocked the prisoner unconscious, took away his gun, and then fled to the suburbs through the slums.

...Due to excessive blood loss, Otto could not remember much of what happened afterwards.

But judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to guess - he must have escaped to the residence of these two homeless teenagers when he was on the verge of death and was rescued by them.

And now he was pointing a gun at them.

Otto's gray eyes flashed with regret and deep guilt. He looked around and quickly put down the gun. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Wei Shao didn't make things difficult for him. He glanced at his bleeding leg and said, "Your wound has broken open. Go back and lie down first."

"Thank you..." Otto felt more and more ashamed and moved.

He tried hard to stand up straight, but the action just now had exhausted all his strength. The severe pain finally made him stagger and almost fall to the ground.

Wei Shao held his arm and said, "Be careful."

"Let me do it, brother."

Otto subconsciously turned his head towards the voice. The younger boy looked at him coldly. His eyes were not gentle or friendly at all, but his hand firmly held his arm.

Otto realized that it was his previous action of raising the gun that frightened the child and provoked the other party's hostility.

Otto felt deeply sorry again, but he was not good at expressing himself, so he could only repeat: "I'm sorry."

Wei Shao looked at his several wounds that were bleeding one after another, sighed with a headache, and he and Fei Luo each took one arm and carried him back to the floor: "If you feel sorry, then take good care of your injuries and don't let us waste our efforts."

After doing all this, Wei Shao couldn't help but yawn and slowly sat back on the bed.

He felt sleepy, but he didn't lie down immediately. Instead, he quickly leaned over when Philo approached, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Go get a nutrient solution for your godfather."

With such a good opportunity, of course he had to let Philo gain some favor.

Fei Luo's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but was coaxed and pushed out by Wei Shao.

He had no choice but to take out a tube of nutrient solution, walk to Otto without saying a word, squat down and hand it to him.

Otto was flattered: "Thank you."

Philo stated calmly: "My brother asked me to give it to you."

Wei Shao: “…” The little bastard did it on purpose, didn’t he?

Otto didn't understand and thanked Wei Shao again.

Philo took a thin rope from the wall, tied one end around his wrist, and handed the other end to Otto, whispering, "Don't call him if you need anything, just pull the rope."

Otto looked at Wei Shao who was half asleep on the bed, understood something, and nodded seriously to Philo.

-

When Wei Shao woke up the next day, Philo was no longer around. He turned over and sat up, staring at Otto on the ground.

Otto's eyes were bright, and he had obviously been awake for a long time, but for some reason he didn't say anything. Wei Shao rubbed his eyes and said vaguely, "Morning."

"Morning." Otto straightened his back subconsciously, but ended up pulling his wound, causing his face to twist.

Wei Shao: “…” Why does this godfather look not so smart?

He got out of bed, put on his slippers, walked to Otto, and briefly checked Otto's injuries.

"Hey, have you changed the medicine?"

Otto's mouth curled up a little and explained: "Your brother helped me change it. He is very good."

Wei Shao also laughed and agreed: "Lolo has always been very well behaved - by the way, where did he go?"

Otto shook his head: "He didn't tell me."

Wei Shao nodded: "I'll go take a look later."

Otto recalled what he had just said: "By the way, the 'Lolo' you just mentioned, is that your brother's name?"

Wei Shao shook his head: "Nickname, just call him Fei Luo."

Otto hesitated for a moment and gave his name: "My name is Otto."

People named Otto might not be uncommon in the Empire, but there was only one person who served in the army and was exiled to an abandoned planet.

Wei Shao nodded: "Oh, my name is Weiss, nice to meet you."

He spoke naturally and fluently, and Otto did not doubt it at all. Instead, he felt a little uneasy because of his calm attitude.

——These two children obviously don’t know who he is. If they knew that he was an officer convicted of a serious crime by the Empire, would they regret saving him?

Wei Shao scooped up some water, took a clean cloth, wet it, wrung out the water, and handed it to Otto: "Just clean it, don't move too much, otherwise the wound will burst open again."

I took the cup and went out to wash up and breathe in the morning air.

This was the scene that Philo saw when he came back carrying a large bag of fresh-keeping vegetables. The young man was casually holding a toothbrush in his mouth, his platinum hair shining in the natural light.

Fei Luo couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and happened to meet the eyes of Wei Shao who was looking over here.

Wei Shao raised his eyebrows: "Why are you laughing so foolishly?"

Philo immediately trotted over to him, rubbed against him and said, "I'm glad to see you here."

Wei Shao immediately understood what he meant: "I always keep my word."

System: [……] Never mind. Whatever.

Otto looked at them and couldn't help but smile a little: "You two have such a good relationship."

He was the only child of his female father, and the rest of his brothers were born to the male father and the female servants. They were not close to him, so he had never had such an experience.

Philo put down the vegetable bun and was about to cook. Hearing this, he suddenly turned around and asked Otto, "What do you want to eat?"

I don’t know if it was Otto’s illusion, but Philo’s attitude towards him seemed to soften a lot all of a sudden.

He said quickly: "I'm not picky. When our food supply was cut off during the war, we ate everything."

Philo said, "Well, I'll make you the same one as your brother."

In other words, according to Wei Shao's taste.

But Otto was a fool. He thought he was enjoying the treatment only enjoyed by Wei Shao, and his degree of being moved was doubled.

However, Philo's cooking skills were so good that no matter what dish he cooked, it was always delicious. Otto's eyes widened as soon as he tasted it - it was better than what the chef at home cooked before he joined the army.

Plus he hadn't had a normal meal in days, so he started eating like a starving ghost.

Wei Shao watched in shock as Otto, a wounded man, ate two large bowls of food and even drank up the bottom of the bowl.

Philo put down his chopsticks and said hesitantly: "...Do you want more?"

If necessary, he can do more.

Otto still remembered that they were a pair of poor wandering brothers, and thought that Philo was going to give him his share, so he wiped his mouth with his hand and said embarrassedly, "No, I'm full."

-

Otto's terminal is the most common wristband style. Before coming to the abandoned planet, the terminal's signal transceiver device was completely dismantled.

After coming here, it has suffered various damages and is now basically scrap.

Otto lay on the clean bedding, staring at the ceiling of the cave, his fingers silently fiddling with the terminal that was no longer functioning properly.

He hoped that his mother-in-law would not give up on him and would insist on appealing for him and clearing his name. But he was also afraid that His Majesty would be deceived by evil and take his anger out on his family because of those false charges.

However, at this moment he could not receive any information from the outside world, and all his desires and worries were in vain.

He looked up and saw the two young men who had saved him sitting side by side on the bed, reading a storybook with great interest. Their heads were close together, and they whispered to each other from time to time.

Wei Shao seemed to realize something and suddenly looked down at him, but said nothing and asked nothing.

Otto couldn't help but speak out: "Philo, Weiss, do you know who I am?"

Hearing the unfamiliar name, Philo was slightly startled, looked at Wei Shao inquiringly, and then received a wink from Wei Shao.

Philo raised the corners of his lips slightly. He really enjoyed the feeling of sharing a secret with his brother and cooperated without saying a word.

Wei Shao answered Otto's question, but gave a vague answer: "A soldier."

Otto was silent for a moment before he asked the question he really wanted to ask: "You saved me, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"In a place like the Abandoned Planet, who is a good bug and who is a bad bug?" Wei Shao approached, propped up his knees and looked down at him, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Since you are here in a military uniform, you have fought for us anyway. Just take good care of your wounds and don't think about the rest."

Otto's eyes felt a little sore, and he closed his eyes and nodded.

He took a few more anti-inflammatory pills they gave him, but due to the effect of the pills and his lack of physical strength, he fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he was the only bug left in the room.

There were some clanging sounds coming from outside the door, as if someone was repairing some wooden furniture. Otto struggled to stand up, straining his wound and letting out a muffled groan.

Soon, the door was pulled open, and Philo came in carrying a strange-looking shelf, then poured him a glass of water: "Brother said that you should get up and call us. If you move around, it will easily open the wound."

"Thank you." Otto nodded, took the water and took a sip.

Fei Luo squatted in front of him, looking at him with clear eyes, and suddenly said: "Actually, I know who you are."

Otto nearly choked on the water: "...What?"

Philo accurately stated his identity: "You are the supreme commander of the Eighth Legion of the Empire, Otto. You were exiled here for treason."

Upon hearing the accusation, Otto's palms tensed instantly, and the fragile water cup was almost crushed.

"I don't……"

Otto looked at the child squatting in front of him, and almost pleaded: "Since you knew it, you still chose to save me, you should believe that I won't--"

Otto's words stopped abruptly because he saw Philo shaking his head.

"I just believe my brother. He said you are a good bug. I only take care of you because my brother wants to save you."

Philo helped him sit up straight and put the strange frame behind him. The frame just supported his arms and back, which could alleviate the pain caused by the pressure on his wounds when he sat up straight.

Then he continued: "So, if he says something like he hopes you can help take care of him in the future, you don't have to pay any attention to it."

Maybe this way... Wei Shao wouldn't always think about abandoning him.
