At the same time, on a British merchant ship sailing to Xiamen, several embarrassed sailors were telling their miserable experiences.

"What? You said those yellow-skinned monkeys took your ship? Oh, my God, it's unbelievable. I always thought that yellow people are tamer than black people."

Warrit, the captain of the Hound, was a cold-faced man with a warm heart.

His favorite thing to do is to go to Boer territory to hunt lions.

The blindfolded left eye was caused by the shotgun going off while hunting.

But it makes him look more mature and charming.

"Irish people, where were you hijacked?" Captain Wallett looked at Second Officer Kevin and asked.

Kevin once again described the process of the hijacking of the "Boen" in detail.

Although Walter's tone was full of contempt when he called him an Irishman.

"God will not forgive these people. If your coward captain still has any brains, he will definitely sail the ship to Xiamen. Then their government will punish those piggies. I suggest you go directly to the Qing Dynasty then

When the local government asks for compensation, those local officials usually choose to pay to settle the matter."

"As for those piglets, they are a group of bankrupt farmers who can't squeeze out any profit at all. Just leave them to their local officials. They will most likely have their heads chopped off."

Warrit seems to be imparting experience.

Kevin and the others were lucky. They encountered the British merchant ship the next day after escaping from the Bowen.

Otherwise, they will either starve to death or be buried under the sea due to wind and waves.

At that time, time was tight and they were running a lifeboat empty-handed.

It's just that these people were rescued, which is not good news for Dong Liang and others.

Yaeyama is not an inaccessible place.

The news that these people are in Yae Mountain will be discovered sooner or later.

…

"Lin Yue, how are you? Let me take a look at the wound?" Dong Liang comforted everyone and then came to the stone house where the injured were.

Most of the casualties contracted fever on board the ship.

Some people were injured during the battle.

The most serious case was that one of the escorts lost an entire arm and could only hang on for half his life.

Lin Ben and the people in the living group were boiling water and cooking porridge, and some people were building shacks.

Lin Yue was also injured, and a long gash was cut on his leg by an axe.

Just a simple bandage.

"Captain, it's okay." Lin Yue forced a smile on his face.

While on the ship, everyone unanimously elected Dong Liang to be the captain, and most people now call him that.

Dong Liang carefully untied the blood-soaked straps.

Lin Yue's wound was slightly red and swollen on both sides.

The newly oozing blood from the wound was accompanied by yellow pus and exuded a foul odor. The situation was not good.

In this era, wound infection can kill people.

"Don't look anymore, this man is hopeless." At this moment, a young man said behind Dong Liang in broken Chinese.

After hearing this, Lin Yue's face turned pale.

This was because he was scared. He was just a farmer. How could he not be afraid of death?

Dong Liang turned around and saw a man wearing a plain cotton gown with a topless straw hat on his head.

This man is not tall, has slender eyes, and has three long strands of beard, which are very smooth.

"Who is sir?"

Although this person's words didn't sound good, they seemed to have any malicious intent and seemed to be stating a fact.

"Medical officer Xiang Ying is here at Ryukyu Palace," the man also said with his hands in hand.

Except for the strange accent, this man's style is no different from that of Han Chinese.

At this time, Ah Fu also said in Dong Liang's ear: "Second uncle, this is the man who was treating the brothers just now."

"It turned out to be the medical officer. Thank you for your help. My brother just suffered some external injuries. Why can't he be saved?"

Xiang Ying looked at Dong Liang curiously. This man in foreign clothes, although he had a bald head, seemed to be a scholar in his speech.

"Wounds and ulcers invade the blood vessels, and gold and stone are useless." Xiang Ying shook his head and said.

"Sir, do you have isatis root, Houttuynia cordata, and Angelica dahurica here?" Dong Liang asked.

"Huh? Your Excellency also knows medical skills? These medicines for detoxifying and eliminating carbuncles are naturally available here."

"I just have a brief understanding. I would like to ask the medical officer, if all the corroded flesh and blood are removed, and then combined with the decoction, is it possible?" Dong Liang asked.

"It's just that the wound is on the thigh. Forcibly digging out the rotten flesh is likely to cause hemorrhage. Unless an ulcer doctor takes action, if the rotten flesh is forcibly removed, the person will die faster."

Xiang Ying was good at treating fever, which was the most common disease on the island. Surgery was not his specialty.

However, even an ordinary ulcer doctor cannot handle such an injury.

"Sir, please help my brother prepare the medicine and remove the rotten meat. I have my own way." Dong Liang said with a cup of his hands.

After saying a few words to Ah Fu, he asked him to leave.

Lin Yue's wound inflammation was not very widespread, and it was not too late to treat it now.

Xiang Ying remembered that he had seen this young man when these people had just landed, and he was still in a coma at that time.

Those Qing people called him Captain. It was obvious that this man was the leader of this group of people.

"Your Excellency is a scholar? Why are you on a foreigner's ship, and why are you living on an island?" Xiang Ying followed Dong Liang and asked.

He had asked these people before when he was treating them, but they couldn't explain anything clearly.

"To the medical officer, please call me Dong Liang. I have only studied for a few years and have no merit. We are all common people from the coastal areas of Fujian Province in the Qing Dynasty. We were kidnapped by foreigners on ships and sold overseas as slaves. I

He fought back on the ship and captured the ship, but he encountered a storm and ended up here."

"By the way, Medical Officer Xiang, in the past, when Chinese people were shipwrecked in the Ryukyu Kingdom and drifted here, how did they deal with it?"

"Well, Ryukyu is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Our king usually treats refugees favorably and sends ships to send them home."

Dong Liang breathed a sigh of relief. As he knew, the Ryukyu Kingdom respected the suzerain country.

It has to be said that the vassal state system established in the Ming and Qing Dynasties still has some practical significance.

"King Renyi of Ryukyu." Dong Liang praised.

"It should be." Xiang Ying said politely.

At this moment, Ah Fu, who had just been sent out by Dong Liang, came back.

I saw a wrapped banana leaf in his hand.

"Second uncle, I found what you wanted. It disgusts me to death. Please take it away quickly."

Dong Liang quickly took it over.

"Did you find it from the fruit?"

"Don't worry, second uncle, the fruit feels a bit cleaner, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it."

Dong Liang opened the banana leaves in front of everyone.

As soon as the things inside were exposed, everyone was so disgusted that they backed away.

It turned out that what was wrapped in the banana leaves were white maggots.

"Mr. Dong, are you going to use these maggots to treat this patient's injuries?"

After all, Xiang Ying is a doctor, and you can tell at a glance.

Lin Yue's face turned even paler, and he looked at Dong Liang in horror.

[Author's digression]: The method of using maggots to remove carrion is definitely more complicated in operation and the risk is high. The description here is relatively simple, just to improve the supporting character's favorability towards the protagonist. Those who know more about this should be careful
