It was the autumn of the tenth year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties.
Deep in the ocean east of Quanzhou, near Liuqiu Island.
A large fortune ship worth 500 yuan lowered half of its sails and slowly circled on the sea in accordance with the direction of the water and wind.
The distance from the ship's position to the land was about two hundred paces. Looking into the distance, the mountains are lush and green. Even in autumn, the trees are still very strong and dense. I think it has something to do with the warm earth atmosphere.
There is a dilapidated shack under the mountain forest and close to the bay. The fence behind the shack was lying down everywhere, as if a figure was moving behind the fence. It was unclear who it was, but there was a slight and sharp "swish" sound, which was heard above the sound of the waves.
The sailors who were looking out on the ship looked worried when they heard this sound.
Someone trembled: "It would be a great loss if the bow of the boat loses his life on this trip."
A person next to him said anxiously: "Thanks to him for being alert, otherwise the ship would have docked in the harbor and everyone would have nowhere to escape!"
Someone else comforted his companions: "Mr. Chen is on the boat. He can save lives! Wang Chuantou will not die!"
At this time, a small boat was undulating among the waves, slowly leaving the port. At high tide, there are many rocks on the shore, and the waves crash against the rocks, making a roar. The sharp sound of whooshing was suppressed by the sound of the waves and was inaudible. Everyone only looked at the two people at the stern of the boat holding up shields, as if they were resisting something, while two people on each side of the boat were rowing desperately.
After a while, the boat approached the side of the ship, and the two sides collided with each other loudly.
The sailors on the ship had already put down the rope ladder, and several people couldn't wait any longer. They simply climbed onto the fishing net hanging on the side of the ship, went directly to the sea, and stretched out their thick arms to help control the boat.
The sailor shouted: "How is it? Is our bow okay?"
No one on the boat answered. Even the four people in charge of rowing the boat just held down the oars and turned their heads to look inside the boat.
There was one person lying on the bottom of the boat and another person squatting.
The person lying down is the bow king 200, whom all the sailors on the ship are very concerned about. At this time, his face was gray, his teeth were clenched, and a short spear was stuck on his thigh. The short spear didn't penetrate deeply, but it was poisonous, so that the blood flowing from the wound was faintly black.
The squatting person is obviously Mr. Chen. He concentrated on holding a small knife and picking out the flesh at the edge of the wound. Although the boat was bumping abnormally in the waves, his hands were as steady as a rock.
"Is the ointment ready?" Dr. Chen asked.
A young man who looked like an assistant shouted: "Okay!"
Doctor Chen put away his knife, grabbed the short spear with his left hand and pulled it out suddenly.
Wang Erbai groaned, and the short spear had been separated from the body along with the freshly removed leg meat. Blood gurgled twice at the wound, and it was sealed with a piece of ointment with a strong honey aroma. The next moment, Doctor Chen took out a white cloth and wrapped his entire thigh tightly.
"Okay!" he stood up and shouted: "Let's get on the boat!"
While he was talking, a big wave hit him. He staggered and almost fell into the water. His head and face were splashed by sea water. Fortunately, several sailors clinging to the fishing net reacted quickly, rushed over, grabbed him, and took him to the rope ladder.
While climbing up the rope ladder, Dr. Chen shouted: "Are the mugwort leaves ready to be boiled? The wound cannot be soaked in water. It needs to be cleaned and the bandage needs to be changed!"
Beside the ship's side, dozens of crew members agreed without saying a word, and all stretched out their hands to meet them. Several people stood on the beams of the mast and continued to look at the situation on the shore.
Now they could see clearly that no fewer than hundreds of naked and dark-skinned men and women were dancing and circling around the shack. It was so dark that they looked like a group of demons dancing around. There were also people holding poisoned short spears and waving them at the ships on the sea.
One of the sailors sneered: "The waves are so big, why can't these people carry a plank across the sea to chase them?"
Another sailor directly below him was putting on armor on his body and responded in a deep voice: "These people don't know whether to live or die, they are no different from lunatics. With a hundred steps of sea, God knows if we can stop them... Before sailing, let's Just be careful."
While the two were talking, Wang Erbai was also moved onto the lucky boat. Then the boat raised its sails and set sail, far away from the coast, throwing away the crazy Sheng Fan.
. There was no time to lift the small boat up, so it was only tied with a rope and dangled behind.
The sailors who boarded the ship one after another placed Wang Erbai on the hammock at the bow of the ship, and someone else brought a basin of hot mugwort water over to help Dr. Chen clear the wound again.
The merchants accompanying the ship emerged from the hatch on the bottom floor to investigate. Just as they saw Doctor Chen's quick and accurate movements of debridement and hemostasis, Wang Erbai clicked his teeth twice and his thigh was wrapped again.
Several merchants opened their mouths and were stunned for a while before saying: "Wang Chuantou is so lucky. Dr. Chen is not an ordinary ship's doctor, he is a miracle doctor."
A sailor came down from the rafter and said with a smile: "Of course Dr. Chen is a miracle doctor. Go to Linchuan, Fuzhou and ask around. Chen's surgery, traumatology, and detoxification methods are famous!"
A merchant had some knowledge and asked quickly: "Is he the doctor of the Chen family in Linchuan? The direct descendant of the Chen family?"
"Exactly!"
"Looking at his age and appearance, could he be Chen Liangfu?"
The sailor nodded proudly.
It turns out that the Chen family in Linchuan, Fuzhou, is a famous medical family, and Chen Liangfu is the leader of his generation. It is said that he was able to cure his illness with medicine at the age of only fourteen. The sailors felt that it was a honor to have such a famous doctor on board the ship.
The merchant smacked his lips and couldn't help but ask: "But you never thought that such a famous doctor would work as a ship's doctor on a ship? Have you contacted many doctors? Ahem, I wonder who the doctor is? How many times have we been together? After arriving at Qingyuan Mansion, if I want to raise money to buy a boat, I will have to ask a doctor to come forward and introduce a doctor."
Since ancient times, going to sea has been the most dangerous. There was a poem at that time: "A great merchant will risk thousands of deaths on the voyage." Even if there are many people and a large ship, it is inevitable that something bad will happen and the ship will sink.
Just like this lucky ship belonging to the Shanghai line, it originally followed the fleet from Guangzhou to the north and had a smooth journey. However, the leader of the fleet was blinded and misread the needle path. The three ships plunged into the black water ditch. It took five days to finally reach a remote private port on Ryukyu Island.
There were many people in the fleet, and Tsuna was worried about insufficient food reserves, so he took the other two boats up a river inside the port to hunt deer. Wang Erbai and others, who were responsible for staying behind, bumped into Shengfan's attack on the port. The two sides fought briefly and the port was completely destroyed. Wang Erbai protected his companions from boarding the boat and was poisoned by a spear in his own leg.
As long as you have a little better luck, you won't have a series of bad luck. But there is such a powerful doctor on the ship, which means an extra life in times of emergency. Seeing his wonderful rejuvenation, Wang Erbai's breathing is steady and he will not die!
Seeing the envy of the merchants, the sailor said:
"A good doctor like Dr. Chen is not easy to find. He came with the ship mainly to go south to Guangzhou, inspect the medicinal materials of the year, and treat diseases on the way. As for the ordinary ship doctor... After you arrive at Qingyuan Mansion, go Pay a visit to my official Zhou, maybe I can help you connect the dots."
"Okay, okay." The merchant said with a smile: "Let's talk about an ordinary ship doctor. How much is the monthly salary?"
"Always have fifty essays every month!"
The merchant was surprised: "Copper coins or Huizi?"
"Of course it's copper coins!"
Fifty guanwen is not small money. Even if the voyage between Guangzhou and Qingyuan Mansion is not far, and it takes three or four months to purchase the goods, it will still cost more than two hundred guan on the doctor, not counting the cost of medicine. If he didn't monopolize the goods of a large ship, the payment for the goods in and out could be as much as 100,000 yuan, and the profit would exceed 30% of the payment. He would really not be willing to support him.
These merchants are all sales agents, and a trip to Guangzhou can make a profit of 300 to 500 yuan. With their savings, even if they buy a boat, they can't afford a big boat, let alone a ship's doctor.
"It is said that among the merchant houses on the sea, the noble ones are the most generous, and they are truly well-deserved." The merchant sighed in admiration, his eyes filled with regret.
Dr. Chen had his own cabin at the stern of the ship, and he went to rest.
In the hammock above the hatch, Wang Erbai suddenly opened his eyes.
His face was still pale, and the golden mark left in the prison camp in his early years became more and more obvious. His eyes were still blank and a little scary.
I touched my heavily bandaged thigh and felt the injured area twitching and painful. Wang Erbai gritted his teeth: "I'm missing a piece of meat, boss! Even a pound of lean and fat meat, cut into minced meat and stir-fried, can eat three bowls
meal. "
This young captain has always had an eccentric temperament, and his perspective on things and the way he speaks are different from ordinary people.
The sailor on the side was not surprised and said cautiously: "Boss, you can't blame Dr. Chen for this. Those raw short spears are highly poisonous. If you don't cut off this ring of flesh quickly, you will be dead just now." .”
"I know!"
Wang Erbai thought for a while and then said: "This trip is too unlucky, something is wrong, it seems like someone is trying to trick us."
"Who? Who is tricking us?!" The supervisors, subordinates, and Ikari who gathered around him all jumped up.
Wang Erbai ignored their questions.
He was stunned for a while, touched his thigh, and finally looked around at everyone.
"Everyone, I'm dead."
