Gavin and Felicia were much comforted when they heard their son's words.
After all, their son was a good boy.
Ethan was also stunned for a moment. He thought that after Kevin had cleared his name, he would announce it loudly as if he were afraid that no one would know. Unexpectedly, he wanted to keep a low profile.
This made Ethan look at him with new eyes, and he didn't seem as讨厌 as he had before.
After that, after staying for a while longer, Ethan and Victor were about to leave.
After all, the college entrance examination was coming soon, and as the head teacher, Victor still had a lot of things to do.
Originally, Ethan was going to leave with Teacher Victor. However, when they walked downstairs, Teacher Victor ran into an acquaintance, so Ethan left alone.
Ethan walked to the entrance of Healing Haven and was about to go straight home.
Suddenly, he felt an unprecedented hunger in his stomach, as if he had seen something delicious and wanted to devour it.
Then, he looked around.
He found that there were all small vendors here.
Some were selling snacks, and some were selling necessities for patients, such as urinals and bedpans.
"Damn it. Don't tell me I'm going to eat this?" Ethan shouted in his heart.
Well, there were also a few fortune - tellers, each with a long beard, looking very serious.
"There's nothing good to eat here either!" Ethan groaned bitterly.
"Hmm, there's even a bookstall here?"
Beside that old blind fortune - teller, there was a small bookstall.
The bookstall was very simple.
A tattered bedsheet was spread on the ground, and some seemingly dilapidated books were randomly thrown on it.
Beside the bookstall, there were a few guys drooling while holding some magazines with pictures of scantily - clad women on the covers.
"Is there something good here?" Ethan was puzzled in his heart. Although he smelled the scent of a treasure, seeing this situation, he still had no confidence.
As he got closer to the bookstall, he became even more suspicious.
The only good - looking things were probably those magazines with relatively nice - looking covers.
"Just flip through it randomly."
Then, Ethan rummaged aimlessly there.
While rummaging, Ethan was more certain that these things were all dug out from the junk pile. Many of them were still dusty.
After looking for a while, he didn't find anything valuable. He didn't even find an illustrated version of "The Plum in the Golden Vase", which was really disappointing.
"Could it be that my perception was really wrong?" Ethan doubted again.
Just when Ethan was about to stand up and leave, an old, shabby book was exposed.
The cover of the book was already torn, and the pages inside had turned black and looked as if they were about to rot at any time.
Even if someone saw this thing, they would throw it away as garbage. There were many traces of being bitten by insects on the paper, and the pages inside were even more unrecognizable. Some were stuck together, like dried cow dung.
However, when Ethan touched this book, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, just like the throbbing feeling when suddenly seeing a beautiful girl.
At the same time, a gurgling sound came from his stomach.
Looking at his stomach and then at this book that people would even be disgusted to use to wipe their butts, Ethan felt a chill.
Was he going to eat this thing?
This... His taste was really too heavy. Even he couldn't stand it himself.
"Boss, how much is this book?" Ethan picked up the shabby book and asked casually.
"Ten yuan!" The boss said without even looking up.
Hearing this, Ethan threw the book onto the stall without hesitation and turned around to leave.
"Take it for two yuan!" The boss shouted at Ethan.
Ethan threw the only two coins he had left for the fare into the past.
It wasn't that he was deliberately doing this before. He was really out of money.
He didn't expect that the boss would cut the price so drastically.
Ethan picked up the book and left.
With the two - yuan fare gone, what should have been a ten - minute bus ride took him a full half - hour to walk home.
He took out the shabby book.
Gurgle!
His stomach growled again.
Now, Ethan was really about to be disgusted with himself. His taste was really... hopeless.
"If I'm still like this after using the Dust - Washing Wind, I'd rather starve to death than eat this thing." Ethan said.
He casually flipped through the book. Many of the words on it were already blurred, and some pages were still stuck together, which was disgusting to look at.
Huff!
He blew out a breath.
Whoosh!
The book, which was as dirty as if it had been fished out of a stinking gutter, now looked as if the muddy shell stuck on it had been knocked off.
"Damn it! More than half of it has fallen off! What's going on?" Ethan was a little surprised.
After those dirty outer layers fell off, a thin, nearly transparent layer of pages was revealed inside, like a layer of transparent thin ice.
"Hey! There's really a surprise!" Ethan was pleasantly surprised.
Huff!
He blew out another breath.
Whoosh!
This time, even more fell off than before.
More than half of the dirty things had fallen off.
The originally thick book was now reduced to a thin one.
Ethan knew that there were actually quite a few pages in it. The reason it was thin was that each page was very thin.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was as thin as a cicada's wings.
Looking at the paper that was like layers of thin ice, Ethan was a bit dazed.
He stuck his head out to see what was written on it.
However, the font was too small. Even when he opened his eyes wide, he could barely see the words "Record of Difficult and Complicated Diseases".
Kidney deficiency, renal deficiency, body odor, puerperal diseases...
"Damn it! What the hell is this? Why does it feel so familiar? Are these the things posted on telephone poles and toilet walls?"
Ethan was speechless. This thing was actually a medical book, and it was a book specifically for treating various difficult and complicated diseases.
The signature on the last page was Ella.
"Ella? Who is this?"
If it had been before, Ethan could have told himself that he didn't understand history. But now, after devouring all the books from primary school to high school, he knew history backwards. There was no introduction to Ella at all.
Since it was wanted by the Devouring Heaven Skill, it should be good! Anyway, just eat it first.
He smelled it again. Not only was there no stench, but there was also a faint fragrance.
"It seems that my Dust - Washing Wind skill has improved again! It can clean things more and more cleanly."
He opened his mouth.
The book was quickly devoured by Ethan.
After eating it in a few bites.
"Kidney deficiency and renal deficiency have so many situations? And body odor, etc. What's going on with this gynecological disease? Could it be... Am I going to become... a friend of women in the future?" Ethan was speechless.
"Hmm? What is this placenta? And what is this menstrual blood? And this green - bearded fleece - flower root..."
Ethan knew that these must be medical terms, but he just didn't understand them.
"Strange. Before, without a basic knowledge of physics, I couldn't learn those quantum and relativity knowledge. Now, I also don't have medical knowledge. How did I learn these?"
After thinking for a long time, he still didn't figure out what was going on. So he simply stopped thinking about it.
"It seems that my top priority should be to make up for my medical knowledge." Ethan said to himself.
He knew that if he could really have the ability to treat these difficult and complicated diseases, then money would no longer be a problem in the future.
Not to mention being able to learn how to treat all of these diseases.
Even if he could only treat one of them, such as kidney deficiency or renal deficiency, it would be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
