Lao Cui and the others are already very skilled in dealing with this kind of trauma.
While Lao Cui and the others were treating his injuries, Tang Ping asked Alaric, who came over: "Uncle Alaric, where did this man come from?"
"I met him at sea. I found him holding a wooden board floating in the sea this morning. I asked people to see if he was still alive. I found that he was still alive and saved him."
"But we can't treat his wound. We can only cool him down with cold water as you said, and then send him back quickly."
Alaric was kind-hearted, otherwise he wouldn't have been the only one to help Tang Ping and the others at sea.
So Tang Ping was not surprised.
He just said: "But his injury doesn't look like an accident, but caused by a weapon."
Tang Ping has been on the battlefield many times now, and he can spot accidental cuts and wounds caused by weapons at a glance.
"Yeah!" Of course Alaric also saw it, and just smiled and said: "But we can't just watch him die like this. When he recovers, we can just find a night to send him away far away."
Tang Ping nodded, and he just reminded that this is Alaric's home, and it is up to them to decide what to do.
Over there, Lao Cui has also finished treating his wound: "Sir, I gave him two antibiotics and the wound has been treated, but whether he can survive depends on his luck."
Of course Tang Ping knew that even if they used medicine, this man had been injured for some time and had been soaked in the sea for who knows how long. His vital signs were now very weak. With their current conditions, they could only do this. .
"Excuse me, Lao Cui!" Alaric said in broken Chinese.
In a few months, they learned a lot of each other's languages.
After the wound was treated, Alaric asked someone to carry the injured young man back to his home on the island, and then he took out a money bag and handed it to Tang Ping.
"Tang, this is what you sold this time, you should share the money!"
Tang Ping took it without politeness, then threw it to Lao Cui behind him and told him to put it away.
"Did your trip go smoothly this time?" Tang Ping asked.
"Well, the things were very popular and were sold quickly. And we also heard that a grand auction was held in the capital this time. It is said that the porcelain you gave to Old Peter was sold for a sky-high price!"
"Haha, is that so?" Tang Ping asked with a smile: "Lao Cui's... that one, you know, is it also very expensive?"
"Yeah!" Alaric knew that it was Lao Cui's chamber pot and said with a suppressed smile: "I heard that the king of the Burgundy Kingdom in the east spent a lot of money to buy it. I just hope he won't use that porcelain pot. What should I put on it?"
"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't go to the scene to see it." Tang Ping shook his head and asked: "And how is the situation outside now?"
"The situation in the east is getting more and more chaotic now. I heard that several small towns were occupied by the defeated Arab army, and there are pirate groups formed by them all over the sea. I heard that there were people in the towns where we went to sell things this time. The pirates robbed us."
Tang Ping was also a little speechless. At that time, many defeated Arab armies fled to the north of Damascus. He deliberately did not pursue them. He just wanted these defeated armies to disrupt the whole of Europe and make this place as chaotic as possible.
Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot. He ended up in Western Europe by accident, and even the way back was temporarily blocked.
There are also many defeated Arab armies in the northeastern region of Africa. If he wants to go back, he must at least run to central Africa, then cross the entire Africa to the Red Sea in the east, and then go to the place where the Grand Canal was dug to find the Tang Dynasty family there. .
He didn't know how long this journey would take, and there were many dangers. He didn't know what kind of accidents would happen, so he chose to stay here and wait for the system upgrade to be completed.
Alaric knew that Tang Ping also wanted to go home as soon as possible, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him and said: "Now all countries are expanding their power, and I believe they will settle down soon. I bought a lot when I came back this time. It’s delicious, let’s go to my house for dinner!”
Tang Ping also knew that things could not be rushed, so he followed Alaric back to his home.
A few people were chatting while eating, and suddenly they heard a thump in the room inside.
Alaric and Tang Ping looked at each other, and then Tang Ping looked at Lao Cui again.
Lao Cui nodded, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then took out his knife.
As soon as he opened the door, a black shadow passed by. Old Cui tilted his head, and then a figure rushed over.
He could tell at a glance that this was the young man who had just treated the wound. He inserted the knife back into his waist, then blocked and grabbed it with his iron-like hands, and was caught by the young man.
"Hey, kid, you're so fast. You're so injured and you still want to run?"
It could be seen that the wound on the young man's waist began to ooze blood again.
Naturally, this young man couldn't understand what Lao Cui said. Tang Ping said on the side: "We saved you. You don't want to thank us, but you still plan to attack us?"
Tang Ping also saw the black shadow that was thrown out just now. It was just a shoe.
The young man was caught by Lao Cui. He was so weak that he couldn't move at all. When he heard Tang Ping's words, he asked doubtfully: "Did you save me?"
"Otherwise? If we want to arrest you, will we let you lie on the bed comfortably?" Tang Ping said angrily: "And haven't you noticed that your wounds have been treated?"
The young man looked down at his wounds, then tilted his head and fainted again.
He just woke up and thought he had been caught, so he was eager to run away and had used up his remaining strength.
He was already seriously injured, so he naturally fainted again soon.
Tang Ping asked Lao Cui to throw him back on the bed, and then said to Alaric: "Uncle Alaric, you have to be careful, I feel like this young man is really a big trouble!"
Alaric nodded. The young man's behavior just now was indeed abnormal. A normal person would not want to escape so regardless of his injuries after being rescued like this.
But he wasn't afraid, he just told Tang Ping that he would be careful.
After eating, Alaric called Locke to guard the injured young man, while he organized the residents to start dividing the money earned from selling the goods.
Tang Ping went back to his room to rest.
It took three days before Locke came to find Tang Ping.
"Don, the young man we rescued that day woke up. He said he wanted to meet the person who rescued him. Uncle Alaric asked you to come over."
"Okay!" Tang Ping, who was eating melon seeds, clapped his hands and followed Locke to Alaric's place.
The young man lay weakly on the bed. He had been sleeping since the day he woke up and wanted to run away.
Fortunately, Tang Ping visited twice and found that his body temperature had returned to normal. I cooked some more soup and asked people to drink it for him every day, and today he finally woke up.
"Thank you!" Seeing Tang Ping follow Locke in, the young man said while lying down.
"You're not running away now?" Tang Ping asked with a smile, "Who are you? Why are you at sea?"
The young man thought for a while and said: "I am a sailor, but we encountered a storm and our ship broke down..."
"Make it up, keep making it up!" Tang Ping was not used to him: "You suffered four injuries in total, all on your back, which means someone hurt you while chasing you. The one on your waist was the most serious, and you almost died. Your life shows that the people chasing you have no intention of holding back.”
"Or is it that the sword was curled up in the storm and cut you like this behind your back?"
The young man didn't expect that his lie would be exposed by Tang Ping as soon as he opened his mouth, so he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Tang Ping shrugged. This person's background must not be simple.
He was being chased and thrown into the sea, so it was reasonable to be cautious. Tang Ping and the others didn't understand his origins, and he didn't understand Tang Ping and the others' origins either.
Especially people like Tang Ping who look different from Europeans at first sight.
Anyway, he couldn't spread the news on the island. As long as he recovered from his injuries, Tang Ping had no intention of caring about him. After he recovered, he asked Lao Cui to knock him out and throw him on a boat to Porto. He wouldn't be able to find him back.
He asked Lao Cui to check his wound, and then left after making sure there was no problem.
It was almost half a month later when I saw this young man again.
Alaric took good care of him, because he was no longer short of money, so he made him some fish soup or broth every day, which made him recover quickly.
But this time he came not to find Tang Ping, but to find Lao Cui.
"I heard that you are good at fighting?"
Lao Cui did learn some of the local dialect, but he still couldn't understand what he said and could only look at Tang Ping.
"Who did you listen to?" Tang Ping said, "But he is really good at fighting."
"Uncle Alaric told me. He said he was very powerful and told me not to provoke you." This time he was very honest. He also discovered that only Tang Ping could communicate with him fluently, so he asked Tang Ping: "Can you Do you want him to teach me how to fight?"
Tang Ping shook his head decisively and said, "No!"
"Why...why?"
"I don't even know your origins, so why would I ask him to teach you how to fight? What if you are a bad guy? What if you are a pirate and I ask him to teach you, wouldn't I be harming other people?"
The young man hesitated and said, "I'm not a bad person. I want to learn to fight, and I just want revenge!"
"Revenge?" Tang Ping became more interested: "Tell me, who should I seek revenge from?"
Now that he has said it, the young man will no longer hide it.
"We were captured by Wessex."
"Wait, you guys?" Tang Ping frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are the Vikings who live by the North Sea. My name is Thor. My people and I used to live peacefully in the North Sea. Until Wessex appeared, they burned our home and captured us as slaves. ."
As he spoke, he took off his shoes and exposed the soles of his feet, which had an ugly mark on them.
"Thor?" Tang Ping stared at the young man in front of him, as if it really seemed like that.
Thor didn't know what Tang Ping was thinking, so he continued: "We work for them every day and night, and we have to be whipped by them. Some time ago, Prince Woolf of Wessex came back from outside and said that there was There is a place that makes better glass than we do, and if we can’t make better glass, we’ll all be killed.”
"Burning glass, are you burning glass in Wessex?" Tang Ping turned to Alaric and asked: "Uncle Alaric, where is Wessex??"
Without Baidu, he would have been confused when hearing about these countries.
After Alaric described it, he realized that it turned out to be one of the seven countries in Britain, which is now in the era of the Seven Kingdoms.
In fact, a later hit TV series "Game of Thrones" was written based on these seven kingdoms.
"That prince wants to kill you all just because you can't make good glass??"
"Yes!" Sol nodded and said, "He said that Tang-fired glass is so transparent that it seems invisible. If we can't make the same glass, we will all be killed."
"Wait!" Tang Ping sat up straight: "Tang? Did you just say Tang?"
He was sure that the tone Sol just made was that of the Tang Dynasty, and only the Tang Dynasty could produce such highly transparent glass in this era, right?
"I remember the prince said that." Sol said honestly not knowing why Tang Ping was so excited.
"Did a businessman from the Tang Dynasty sell glass here?" Could Tang Ping not be excited? ? If we find a Datang merchant who comes here to sell things, can we go back or send the news back?
"This... I don't know." Thor shook his head.
Mainly starting from the last auction, the two pieces of porcelain were too sensational, causing other auction items to be lackluster. When Alaric inquired, everyone only heard about the two pieces of porcelain, and did not hear anything about Li Chi news.
"Let's inquire more next time we go out!" Alaric comforted Tang Ping.
"Okay, go on!" Tang Ping was a little helpless, but Sol didn't know what he could do?
"How could the fired glass be improved so much overnight? So we planned to escape!!" Thor's eyes began to turn red when he said this: "But when we escaped, we were discovered by the Wessex people. Chasing us, I finally escaped by jumping into the sea, but the others..."
These words must be true, because Lao Cui said when he was treating his injuries, his fingers had a lot of burning marks, and they should have been exposed to flames or other high-temperature things frequently.
"But you are alone. Even if you learn how to fight, can you defeat Wessex?"
"When Wessex destroyed our home, some people still escaped. I will find them." Thor said firmly: "Even if Wessex is not the opponent directly, we will lurk like snow wolves. Be next to them, and when they are not paying attention, you can pounce on them and bite off a piece of their flesh."
While Tang Ping was hesitating, he didn't expect Alaric, who had been listening silently, to speak.
"If it's Wessex, I'd like to help you."
Tang Ping was stunned, what's going on? Uncle Alaric, who always believes in keeping a low profile, actually wants to participate in such a thing?
