Chapter 107 Stranded

The ancestors of the Great Chu Empire originated in the Jingshan area, destroyed the four barbarians and built the Great Chu Empire. When the world was pacified, they set the capital in Jingshan. Therefore, the imperial capital of the Great Chu Empire, also known as Jingdu. Located east of Jingdu, it is the place where many tributaries of the Jingjiang River gather. Therefore, there are many ports and waterway fortresses east of the imperial capital, and it is also a place where merchants gather in the capital. Among them, there is a tributary flowing northeast, which is named Dongjing River because it is located east of Jingdu. It is more than ten miles from the shore at the intersection of Jingjiang and Dongjing River. A large ship has been staying here for many days.

"Shipman, when will this ship be repaired?" A handsome young man stood on the shore and shouted to the boatman busy repairing the ship.

The boatman couldn't help feeling a little displeased when he heard this, but he still smiled and said, "It will take about three or four days to return to Mr. Zhou!"

"It will take three or four days? You have been practicing for half a month. Is it okay? If it doesn't work, I'll change people!"

"Mr. Zhou, please forgive me! You have seen it these days. It's not that we don't do our best, but that your ship is stranded. There is no village in front or store in the back. The tools and materials we need have to be transported back and forth to the dock, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is nothing we can do about it!"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and repair it!" Mr. Zhou seemed a little impatient, and then stepped onto the ladder connecting the plywood to go up the boat.

Zhou Yibang was bored and wandering in the cabin. Suddenly, the door of the room was opened and a beautiful woman about 17 or 18 years old, white clothes were as snowy as skin. Zhou Yibang saw it and stepped forward and forced to take the tray from the girl's hand and said, "Cousin, didn't you say it? Just leave these things to the servants, why do you have to do it yourself!"

The girl obviously didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Yibang's cousin, but just said coldly: "This is my business. Since I have saved someone, I will save you to the end!"

Zhou Yibang smiled apologized and said, "Cousin, I don't mean that. Those trivial matters about caring for wounds can be left to the maid for their own care!"

"Don't you know how serious his injuries are, cousin?"

Zhou Yibang felt that continuing this topic was boring, so he changed the topic and said, "Then how is he doing now? Last time Qin'er said that he saw his fingers move, whether it was true or false. If it were so injured, it would be impossible to survive. If it weren't for your cousin, you would have insisted on reefs, and our ship would have been stranded and forced to stop here!"

The girl did not listen to the annoyance behind Zhou Yibang. As Zhou Yibang said, she was born in a medical family and received great teachings since childhood. The doctor was kind and would never give up whenever she had a glimmer of hope, even if it was slim, kindness would never give up. The person lying in the bedroom was rescued from the turbulent Jingjiang River and couldn't bear to look at her all over her body, especially the tragic bones on her back, which made her feel that she had just saved a corpse. But when she touched his imperceptible pulse, she was shocked by the strong vitality of the person in front of her, and at the same time she was puzzled by his strange system!

It can be judged by the multiple injuries caused by the sharp blade and gunpowder explosion on his body. He must have experienced an extremely tragic fight before falling into Jingjiang! If ordinary people had suffered such a disaster, they would have unfortunately fallen into Jingjiang, which was turbulent, and they had already returned to the sky. But strangely, the pulse of his left hand was no trace, and it could be concluded that the person was dead. Although his right hand was extremely cold, he could feel the slight pulse beating. At that time, she didn't care about these visions, but just treated him in the manner of a doctor's kindness. Although Zhou Yibang repeatedly stated that this person's identity was suspicious and worried that his group would be involved in unprovoked disputes and would cause death, this cousin, who had always been cold and kept thousands of miles away, was still judging from his righteous and handsome face that he was definitely not a bad person to treat him.

Just when Zhou Yibang was embarrassed, a crisp girl shouted: "Sister Zixin, come, come, his fingers move again, come!" Hearing the girl's shouting, Mu Zixin quickly pushed the tray in his hand towards Zhou Yibang, and in the latter's surprise, he quickly turned around and ran into the room.

"Qin'er, let me see!"

The girl called Qin'er hurriedly pointed to the man's fingertips on the bed that moved from time to time. Mu Zi saw it and was busy.

He gently held the man's pulse, then pressed his slender fingers on the man's neck, looked into his nose, looked at his pupils, and finally leaned his ears on the man's chest and listened carefully to his heartbeat. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't help but wrinkle tightly.

Seeing this, Qin'er couldn't help but wonder: "Sister Zixin, how is this big brother doing? Are you about to wake up?"

Mu Zixin sighed and said, "I don't know either!"

"Sister Zixin, last time I said that my elder brother's fingers moved. You don't believe me. This time you saw it with your own eyes! Doesn't that mean he is about to wake up?"

Mu Zixin shook her head and said, "I just checked it, and his breath gradually stabilized, and his injuries gradually improved, but..."

Upon hearing this, Qin'er couldn't help but say anxiously: "But what, Sister Zixin, please explain it clearly!"

"If an ordinary person has these physical characteristics, he will wake up in three days without my judgment. However, now I can only judge that he has hidden diseases, and it is a chronic disease that hurts the heart meridians. As for the specific symptoms, I don't know. Although I can cure his external injuries, I can't help with his internal injuries. Therefore, I don't know whether he can wake up!"

"Then...what would happen if I couldn't wake up?"

Mu Zixin was regarded as the family's leading medical genius since childhood, but at this moment she felt a deep sense of frustration and was a little powerless: "Maybe, just like this, becoming a vegetable person will never wake up!"

"Then is there no other way?"

"Maybe... maybe it's up to him!"

"What's the meaning?"

"In the medical books I have read, there are indeed some difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be explained by medical pharmacology. Whether this gentleman can wake up may depend on his willpower!"

"I have said it a long time ago that we rarely get the answer from the elders of the family, so Fang Cai went out for a walk together to relax. I didn't expect to meet him! This person's identity is mysterious, and it might cause us to be involved in unprovoked disputes! Because we saved him, our boat was stranded and stopped in this place where there was no village in front of the village and no shop behind him. It took more than half a month to stop him. He finally rescued him from the brink of death, but he might not be able to wake up. If he really became a vegetable, what should we do, my cousin?"

Mu Zixin, who was in a bad mood, heard Zhou Yibang's bored complaining again, turned around and went to the outsider without looking back. Seeing this, Qin'er gave Zhou Yibang a playful face and said, "Brother Yibang, you are even more confused than my mother. If I were Sister Zixin, I wouldn't like you!" After that, he turned around and walked out, leaving Zhou Yibang with a frustrated look. The latter looked at his face that was more handsome than him on the couch, and glared fiercely. He felt that he was petty with a half-dead person, which seemed to be a bad young master Zhou, so he turned around and followed Mu Zixin's footsteps.

The late autumn night is coming faster and faster. After taking dinner at will, night has already fallen. Mu Zixin routinely helped the man wipe his body simply, and began to carefully change the medicine on the wounds all over his body. When everything was done, he gently wiped the slight sweat beads on his forehead. Mu Zixin murmured: "Sir, wake up quickly, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

At midnight, the bonfire not far from the shore was much smaller. Although several boatmen were drunk, they kept muttering: "Boss, as I said, if I had known that Mr. Zhou was so difficult to serve, I wouldn't want to take on this job!"

"That's right, he didn't think about how badly their ship was damaged!"

"The key is that there is no village in front of this place and no shop behind it. How difficult is it to repair it!"

"Okay, okay!" Although Boss Boss thought so, he scolded helplessly: "You all complain a few times. I don't know you yet. If you still take this job together, after all, people pay such a high price, just listen to a few complaints, who can't get over the money?" Boss Boss said roughly or not.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Several people couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when they heard this.

"Okay, it's getting late, so go to bed early, and you have to continue working tomorrow!"

"Okay..."

"Xiao Liuzi, what are you doing?"

Xiao Liuzi said embarrassingly: "Boss, my stomach suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. It's convenient for me to go there. You guys go to bed first, and I'll come back when I'm done!"

"Okay, okay, you're just having a lot of trouble. It's convenient for you to come back to bed early after you finish speaking." After saying that, the boss of the boat yawned and walked into the tent.

In the bushes a hundred meters away, when Xiao Liuzi arrived in a hurry, there were already three men in black waiting here. Xiao Liuzi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have met the lady, the elders of the palace, and the younger brother Sima!"

The person in the middle asked first, "There is nothing happening recently, right?" The voice was soft and pleasant, it was Junior Sister Qu Xinchi and Zhou Miaoling.

"Miss, nothing happened except for a few waves of passing people tentatively chatting a few days ago and I was sent away."

"You did a great job!"

"This is what my subordinates should do! In addition, the day before yesterday, I heard them say that the young master was waking up, but for some reason there was no movement in the past two days!"

Zhou Miaoling turned around and looked at the cabinet master, who said, "You still can't take it lightly next. After this matter, there will be a heavy reward. You can go back first!"

"Abide by the order!"

The old master looked at Xiao Liuzi's leaving figure and asked, "Changfeng, have their identities been investigated clearly?"

Return to the Pavilion Master: "I found out clearly! They are the family of Shigekawa Zhou!"

"The Zhou family? Is the Zhou family of the first family in Chongchuan?"

"Yes, the man in the lead is the son of the second son of the Zhou family, who is twenty years old this year and is named Zhou Yibang; the little girl is named Zhou Qiner, who is thirteen years old this year and is the only daughter of the head of the Zhou family; the other girl is named Mu Zixin, who is seventeen years old this year and is the daughter of the third son of the Zhou family!"

Zhou Miaoling heard this and said curiously: "Oh? Why is the third daughter of the eldest son not Zhou but Mu?"

Sima Changfeng smiled and said, "Speaking of this, there is another anecdote in the Zhou family. The three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family were recruited for this third sister. In the end, the second son of the Mu family was selected. The Mu family is a well-known medical family in Chongchuan. Although they do not have the financial resources and power of the Zhou family, they are also well-known families. So an agreement was made that the eldest son would follow the surname of the Zhou family, but the rest of the children must have the surname Mu, so that girl has the surname Mu!"

"So that's it!" Zhou Miaoling nodded and then said, "Let's go and see your senior brother!"

In order not to disturb the guards on the boat, the three of them planned to sneak in from the window near the river on the other side of the stop. Sima Changfeng, who was the first to enter, saw Mu Zixin who was already asleep leaning against the edge of the bed. After clicking the other party's sleepy hole, Zhou Miaoling and Ge Lao also entered the room one by one.

Looking at Qu Xinchi who was sleeping quietly and unconscious on the bed, Zhou Miaoling's eyes were full of heartache. She wanted to touch Qu Xinchi's pale face. Master Ge stopped him and shook his head to indicate that Zhou Miaoling knew that this was not the time when children were in love. Then he walked to the side. Master Ge walked forward and took the pulse for Qu Xinchi's left and right arms one after another, lifted Qu Xinchi's body and sat cross-legged behind him. After taking a deep breath, his hands were pressed against Qu Xinchi's back wrapped in dense bandages. The continuous internal strength was slowly input from Master Ge's hands to Qu Xinchi's whole body.

An hour later, Master Ge dragged his tired body slowly from the bed. Zhou Miaoling hurriedly supported Qu Xinchi's body, gently supported him to lie down and covered him with a quilt, and was about to ask Master Ge's physical condition. The latter shook his head. Zhou Miaoling immediately understood that since she saw Qu Xinchi tonight, she had always been calm and seemed extremely panicked and anxious from beginning to end. As Master Ge told him, it was indeed inconvenient to communicate too much at this moment.

The purpose of coming tonight has been achieved, so it is naturally not suitable to stay for a long time. Ge Lao and Sima Changfeng left one after another. Zhou Miaoling looked at Mu Zixin, who was still sleeping aside, and didn't know what to think. After a while, she couldn't help but sigh quietly, and then she was reluctant to leave...
