The Conqueror's Journey
chapter 10 the sick mother

Take me there.”

The boy hesitated and was afraid when Daniel said that.

“ don't be afraid I'm not a bad person.” Daniel saw the expression of the boy.

The boy nodded slowly.

Daniel then approached the boy. “ come on.” He said while holding the boy's hand.

The boy was a little embarrassed and seemed to feel unworthy to be with Daniel, but he couldn't resist it, for him it was disrespectful to someone he just met.

As the trip the boy pointed his way while talking about something about the village.

...****...

“We're here.” Said the boy.

“My name is Nando.”

“My name... Jen” said Daniel lied, he lied for the benefit of himself and the people around him. If he told her his real name it would be dangerous for her and her surroundings.

They had arrived in front of a house that was not worthy to live in; the roof was very alarming, there were several holes in some parts, the walls were made of woven bamboo that had slipped out of place, the house has no doors.

In front of him a girl younger than Nando was sitting in a long chair like she was waiting for someone, her legs were moving to relieve boredom.

They walked in.

“Kak!” said the girl who realized her brother had come directly ran and hugged her. “ why did Brother come home early?”

Nando stroked his sister's head elus. “ now we have guests.”

“hah.” He said in disbelief and looked at Daniel beside him.

“ don't be afraid he's not a bad guy. His name is Mr. Jen, Mr. Jen this is my sister Nani.”

Daniel nodded then smiled and looked ahead. “ Are you orphans?”

“Hah.” They said together then looked down like they were thinking about something, which must be bad.

“ sorry, if...”.

“it's okay, we don't mind it. We are not orphans, but we have a mother, our mother.... Pain, which we do not know what pain it is and how to cure it.” Cut Nando explained at length.

Nani nodded in confirming.

“ Can I see.”

“Do not!.” Tell them both.

“ our mother is seriously ill and people say our mother's disease can be contagious, therefore we have to stay here, but we don't believe that our mother's disease is contagious, proof we're still healthy now.”

“I'll check it out, take me there.”

Nando and Nani nodded. Though hesitant, they know that if they don't try, they won't know the outcome.

Nando and Nani walk in following Daniel from behind.

When Daniel entered the house, he could see, the house had 2 rooms: 1 kitchen and 1 room.

Inside the room had 2 beds lined with straw mats. On the right of a woman who had a pale face was asleep, her face was grayish-white which was like it did not have the slightest blood, her body was so thin that it even looked the shape of her skull. She is Nando's mother.

Daniel saw that feeling of pity, in his mind he asked why people were avoiding him instead of helping him, did they not have the feeling of humanity?

“Nando, Nani.” He spoke weakly, very weakly, as if his strength was spent on talking alone.

“ Mother.” Say them both again

“ Nando why did you come home early?” He looked at his son.

“ mother, I brought someone a guest.”

Nando's mother moved her eyes to look at Daniel, she could see Daniel like a bad man. In his heart if he wanted to kill him, he would be sincere, as long as his son was not thrown away, it was the best decision he could make. If his son continues with him, his son may not be able to live, but his son may be able to live, if with criminals. Even if it wasn't good, but it's best now, being a slave. Why does he think that way?

“ do you want to kill me? If yes kill it, but I have one request, take care of my children maybe they will be useful to you.”

Nando and Nani are surprised. “ mom, why mom says like that.” Nando hugged his mother.

Daniel did not answer, he took out his palm. The green-colored energy faintly formed into a small circle that emitted a viscous aura of life, then he approached the bed.

“ what you do.” Nani.

“I will cure it, don't worry.”

“ Why did you save me.” Nando's mother.

“ I'll tell you later.”

Daniel then said the ball was right in his heart, faintly flowing the energy through his body.

Nando's mother felt something fresh flowing through her blood circulation all over her body, the taste was very refreshing.

30 Minutes passed and Daniel finally finished his treatment, but he could not heal it completely. While draining the life energy, he realized that his mother was exposed to a deadly poison and the amount was so much, that it took him even longer to heal.

“ I will do it tomorrow again, your mother was poisoned.” Daniel said as usual.

“ How can mother be poisoned!” Nandong and Nani were surprised by that, they always took care of their mother so it was unlikely that it would happen. Besides, they really know the people near them.

“there may be people who hate you.”

Seeing the expressions of the two of them very seriously Daniel decided to go out and sit on the porch of the simple house.

Not long after Nandong came to him.

“Master thanks for the help.” Nando was beside Daniel.

“I will do whatever the master asks.” Connect again.

“ No need.”

“But sir I can cook, wash and more.”

“ I said no need.”

Nando was surprised after hearing it in a sad tone he said, “ Alright.” Then Nando went inside.

Daniel is now bound for another 2 days until he can heal Nando's mother, he wants to leave soon again, but is it good to leave a person who is seriously ill?

He's breathing. He can't believe he just got out of someone's house, and entered someone else's house again. He decided to open the book again.
