The way it should be

I did quite confused but not senile enough to claim this weird phenomenon in front of me as an illness.

I just read something similar yesterday night after all, but I know at least that such a thing couldn't be possible in this era.

Because of that certain great-grandchild who likes to read a novel of mine, I got quite worried about his future so I remind him that all of those are just fiction out of personal creativity at which he answers as "System is impossible in this Era" along with his reasoning.

So, what is this thing in front of me I wonder? There is no need to think of anything you don't know about so let's think about it later and just reconfirm my purpose for coming here.

"Excuse me young one. So, the phone is fine?"

"Hmm? Ah, yes, it's fine. at least in my eyes. If you are curious, you can check it with other professionals. "

"Hohoho, I believe in you."

Such a kind young man wouldn't lie to me after all. Even if he did, it should be about the phone almost broke so I need a lot of repairment fee, not the other way around.

I truthfully feel relief now I know that there is nothing wrong with the phone so let's go back right now.

"How much is it?"

"Hmmm, to be honest, I don't want to charge you any because I didn't repair a thing but...how about I will receive no matter how much you give me?"

Based on sincerity, huh.

"Then, take this."

"Wait! That's too much! Didn't I said that I did not repair anything??"

"Well, I am thankful because it seems going to be a good day for me. Just take it or else you will tire this senile old man for haggling about something I didn't plan to take back."

"What the? You old man alright but not senile enough you know...I really can't take this much but it would be pointless to haggle with you so how about this..."

Smile.

That's the only expression I can muster to the young man beside me who drove me back home.

The amount I give him is considered normal for a service because I did the same back in the capital city when I am still living with my son's family.

After hearing that he would help me back home, I accept it with open arms because that's exactly what I need. About the person that I already paid before? He is already going back long ago.

The only thing he needs is only unloading all of the vegetables and fruit, receive the payment, and then go home after all.

As for why he promises to give me a ride for back and forth, I don't need to know the reason because he would do it regardless of I point it out or not.

I am okay as long as I can get my thing done, he did the same. That's what being a human is, something that given to me through experience.

That's why, when we found someone lying on the ground in bloody mess, I know what is going to happen later.

"We should just go, Young one."

"But..."

"Life is short, even though a good deed is long-lasting, you shouldn't do something out of what's necessary"

"But, what if he is still alive?"

"It's fine it's fine. Thank you for driving me this far. I can go back now that my home is close enough so if he is indeed alive, I will help him later."

"Ugh, okay then. I will also help you. Wait a minute, I need to contact my wif..."

"Young man, you should go back."

"???What are you talking about? Isn't it better if I help? And there is no way my conscience would allow me to leave you alone just like that, right?"

"...Your family is waiting at home."

"!!!"

Such a kind man shouldn't mess with something unpredictable. No matter what you want to do personally, the fact that you held something precious as responsibility is not something that could be put under "Everything's going to be fine" reasoning.

"That's not called kindness, but irresponsible."

Looking at that face who starting to get pale, I then relieved that it seems he starts to realize the meaning behind my word. Hesitating for a second, the young man around 30 y/o finally relents with me and decides to leave me behind.

"He really is a good lad. Not only he gives me water and clothes, but he also made sure countless time that I wasn't involved too deeply, hohoho"

Waving my hands toward the man who keeps glancing back multiple times before driving back with a worried face, I then start to turn my sight toward a certain male, someone who lay unconscious beside me in the middle of nowhere.

For a reminder, both sides of the road are forest, and only after reaching a certain part that you finally reach a living settlement at which, allegedly put the other road as inhabitant location devoid of human...and of course eyewitness.

It's actually still quite far away from my home but I can just walk back home.

"Such a lonely place to die. I hope you are going to be fine."

I know that what I did is count as irresponsible too. After all of the reassurance I gave toward my caring family, I now put myself in such an event on my own. But, as I said, life is short, and a good deed is long-lasting.

As someone who lives without modernization until a certain age of my life, taking care injured body from a wild herb is something I have already done multiple times in the past. I will help if I could, and not if couldn't.

"But...a gun wound. Not something I ever did before."

It practically screaming the word "Dangerous" all over, yet it really not something that a farmer like me ever knows of. I have a son whose job in the military, but he never tells me about his work all this time.

Such a blessing being given a considerate son who doesn't want to worry this old man, but I hope he told me at least a little bit now I stumbled upon this situation.

'What should I do??'

While hesitating as to what should I do...

"Ugh, till when you plan to stand there like an idiot, a**hole! Aren't plan on helping me tend my wound? Do it quickly if you plan to do it!!! Gahh, it hurts!"

Raising my eyebrow in surprise, I then in hurry start to water the wound, looking around at a wild herb, and dress it as much as I could while ignoring the fact that someone that should be unconscious is actually still awake.

The fact that he still capable of shouting prove that he is still on his right mind, and I also know at least I need to do something with the bullet. If the wound starts to close while it's still inside, something bad would happen after all.

"Take out the bullet first you b*tch!! Are your brain dead after being too old!?? Aghh, it hurts!!"

If it hurts, you shouldn't shout, young man. Although the reason that I am slow at taking the bullet is because of my experience, you shouldn't do something that would make your injury worsen.

But it seems like he is quite an impatient fellow because he starts to take a knife from his pocket, ask me to burn it with a lighter, and then do the stab it on the hole on his own.

While doing it, I am also asked to gag his mouth with linen to make sure he is not shouting out.

"!@#$%"

It seems really hurt, but even under flowing cold sweat and shaky hand, he manages to take the bullet out and finally go limp in relief.

What comes after is quite simple, so I just need to clean it with water, give a wild herb to make sure it will hasten the healing process, and then make sure to dress the wound properly before then go back to my own doing but...

"Gah...that f**ker really asking for dead!!! If I saw him later...well, now that...guh...it seems like I will be able to live...hahh...fo now, let's go to the next thing. Oldman, now that you are done helping, show me your wallet if you don't wanna die."

The man who I just help a minute ago despite the danger now pointing his gun toward my head.

This is exactly why I don't want the kind young man from before to get involved with him...

"...What? Aye ywou dweaf...waift, why am I twalking funi...lly???"

But before he realizes it, the man suddenly had difficulty talking and then his body starts to incapable of moving, and then start to fall down from his sitting position and finally let go of his gun.

"Bwast...ard. What...!!"

"...I have quite a good eyes to judge people character, ho ho ho. I know at least you wouldn't be grateful to me so I give you a herb that will make your body limp, for the time being, I don't want to make my family feel guilty and sad after all. Ah, no need to worry, it's really had a healing property."

There is a very limited chance that a herb with healing property could be found just because you want it in the big forest, let alone something that had such a miracle effect like that so what I did might look like a reckless thing to do but...

System: You just purchase Sleeping Lily, from the system store. 10 gold coins had been deducted. This is a kind reminder from your system, master. Please don't involve yourself in something that had a dangerous implication-

Hohoho, such a blessing to be helped by you, young system. And also thank you very much for your reminder, I appreciate it. :)
