If there's anything else that can make Roque happy with this era, it's probably Roque's body.

The reason why Roque joined the Huayong Camp at the beginning, was also forced to be cornered, Roque's father was a well-known boxer in Zhili, but it was a pity that he offended the court and was killed by the court, which also cut off Roque's way to serve the imperial court, the year before last, Roque's mother died, this is Roque's last immediate family member in the world, after burying his mother, Roque angrily joined the Huayong Battalion, although this choice is not good, but for the former "Roque", it is better than taking care of the home for a certain landlord.

In the past, Roque would rather carry the infamy of "two devils" to serve the British, and perhaps still have the idea of avenging his father, but this has nothing to do with the current Roque, the current Roque just wants to live in this troubled era, if he goes further, it is to live as well as possible.

There is a boxer father, Luo Ke's basic physical conditions are still very good, one meter eighty meters tall, about eighty-five kilograms of weight, the weight may be a little overweight, but not fat, but the kind of rare strong, in the past in the Huayong Battalion, ordinary three or five Huayong Battalion soldiers are not Luo Ke's opponents at all, so Luo Ke can serve as a corporal.

Compared with Roque's previous body, it is obvious that this body is more satisfactory to Roque, who used to weigh eighty-five kilograms, but his waist circumference is three feet, so in comparison, Roque is immediately full of expectations for his future life, at least if Melody meets the previous Roque, probably Melody will not "tremble" so much.

The doctor in charge of treating Roque is called Jonathan Jackson, a standard Englishman, old-fashioned, conservative, sometimes telling bad jokes, but when you laugh, he will look at you with very mocking eyes, as if he laughs at you too low, but if you don't react, the consequences are more serious.

In short, Jonathan Jackson doesn't tell bad jokes to make other people happy, nor does he show his humor, he just wants to show his superiority, whether it is IQ or English pronunciation, in short, because Jonathan Jackson is British, Jonathan Jackson has honey-like confidence.

However, this confidence began to evaporate after Roque began to examine his body.

"God, it's incredible, your recovery is better than I expected—no, it's much better, it's hard to explain—I need some more tests—" Jonathan Jackson couldn't accept that Roque had been unconscious since he was sent a week ago, Jonathan Jackson, as the best doctor in Cape Town, had privately sentenced Roque to death, but Roque was now alive in front of Jonathan Jackson, which subverted Jonathan Jackson's perception of medicine.

"It's incredible, doctor, I think it's the power of God-" Roque couldn't explain all this, and didn't want to stay in the hospital as a guinea pig, so Roque immediately applied for discharge:"-So, I want to get back to work as soon as possible, it's God's will, you know, we're not in a good situation right now, the failure on the front line has led to a sharp deterioration in the law and order situation in Cape Town, and my colleague told me that in the week I've been in the hospital, six patrol officers have been killed in the attack, The state of law and order in Cape Town will deteriorate further before we are able to launch a new offensive, so I must return to work as soon as possible. ”

In the second Boer War, in order to defeat the Boers, the British invested nearly 450,000 people before and after, spent nearly 300 million pounds, and successively invested in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and other colonial armies to fight, which is also the reason why the British set up the Huayong Battalion, it is precisely because the British were trapped in the Second Boer War and had no soldiers to adjust, so they had to set up the Huayong Battalion and invest in the war against the Qing State.

Now the war has just begun, and although the British offensive has been damaged, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is at its peak, will not stop conquering the Boers, so the war will continue to expand.

Unfortunately, Jonathan Jackson did not know this, as a doctor, Jonathan Jackson knew that the law and order situation in Cape Town had deteriorated dramatically recently, and that the patrol officers who had been injured in the attack were now being treated by Jonathan Jackson, except for those who had died in the line of duty, so Jonathan Jackson could not find any reason to object.

But Roque's situation is too special, and Jonathan Jackson is still unwilling to give up, so Jonathan Jackson wants to fight again: "Don't worry, I will call Mr. August Russell from the police station, enjoy your vacation in peace, and the hospital will try to get paid leave for you." ”

August Russell is the chief of the Cape Town Police Department, according to the past practice, there is no paid leave for the Chinese patrol officers, including the period when Roque is hospitalized, the Cape Town Police Department will pay for Roque's treatment, but don't think about paid leave, although Roque's salary is not high, only one pound plus four shillings per month.

Yes, only one pound, write it right.

But the same policeman, if you are Indian, then you can get one pound plus ten shillings a month, if you are British, then you can get close to ten pounds a month, so this salary varies from person to person.

"No, I don't need paid leave, it's my duty to protect the order of the city and keep the streets safe, and I came here after nearly two months at sea, not to enjoy paid leave." Roque was impassioned, at this time it was most appropriate to use "duty" as an excuse to leave the hospital, no one with integrity would refuse such a lofty belief, even Melody listened to Roque's words, and then looked at Roque's gaze began to have a temperature.

"Okay, Luo, I can't stop you, but I still hope that you can come to the hospital and cooperate with me for some examinations when the time is right, I promise, it will not delay your work, and I will apply to the police station."

Jonathan Jackson finally agreed to Roque's request, and then Jonathan Jackson issued a discharge certificate for Roque, confirming that Roque's physical condition was able to return to work, which was of great significance to Roque, at least allowing Roque to temporarily get out of the crisis of feeding the fish.

Returning to the ward to change into the uniform and high-topped leather helmet issued by the patrol officer, Roque said goodbye to Jonathan Jackson and Melody again, and strode out of the hospital gate with his head held high.

Cape Town in the nineteenth century, here I am.

Roque didn't talk about his ambitions, but secretly reminded himself that he must not live up to this life.
