Three hundred and fortieth chapters five taels of silver
After entering the wooden house, Zhu Hong was still lying down and was placed on the bed. Under Xinlijia's instructions, Jiji served everyone drinks and fruits, which seemed quite hospitable.
The fruit is pink in color and has a fluffy appearance. It looks very strange, but after peeling off the shell, you will find an off-white pulp, which is fragrant and sweet, and has a very good taste. Jiji put this kind of fruit
The fruit is called "Labdan". Hua Bushi knows all kinds of herbs and has done a lot of research on plants, but he has never seen this kind of fruit. He thinks it is a local specialty and there is no such species in Middle-earth.
The drink is a mixture of juice and certain leaves ground together. It looks dark green in color, quite turbid, and is quite bitter when you drink it. This drink is called "fruit stack" in the indigenous language.
.
When Hai Hongzhu saw the dirty water-like mixture in the wooden cup, she felt nauseated and refused to drink it. The weird names like "Labdan" and "Guodie" made her even more dizzy.
Up. Cao Muyun was originally a young man with a lot of money, and he always had good food and clothing. Na Labutan actually ate a few pills, but he couldn't drink the fruit stack, so he had to put it aside.
Among the three, only Hua Bushi was very interested. Not only did he drink all the "fruit stack" in the cup, but he also kept gesturing to ask Jiji how this drink was made.
Jiji made gestures for a long time, but Hua Bushi was still at a loss. She only brought a handful of leaves from behind, handed them to the young master, and gestured to indicate that the drink was made from these leaves.
It is made of leaves, and these leaves are everywhere in the nearby mountains.
The four of them stayed at Xinlijia's house for five days.
During these five days, Hua Bushi used silver needles to treat Zhu Hong's palm poison every day. Finally, the poison in his body was basically stable and would not relapse at any time. However, the young man was poisoned.
He was heavier than Cao Muyun. After such treatment, not only was he unable to use martial arts, but his physical strength was so weak that even getting up and walking was difficult.
Now Zhu Hong and Cao Muyun are in somewhat similar situations. The "Jue Xian Palm Poison" has invaded all the meridians of the body. Just like Mr. Ma Da earlier, he still has about three months to live.
Live. If you want to truly remove the poison from your palm, you have to use the method of "digging holes to treat poison" that Hua Bushi told Mr. Ma Da in "Longchuan City".
However, the method of using a sharp blade to cut through the key points of the meridians is too dangerous. According to Hua Bushi's estimation, he only has a 30 to 40% chance of success at most. If he fails, he will be paralyzed for life even if he does not die.
The possibility of recovery. Hua Bushi would not dare to act rashly unless it was absolutely necessary.
Regarding this situation, Hua Bushi did not hide it from Cao Muyun. He said it bluntly. After hearing this, Mr. Muyun lowered his head and remained silent.
Previously on the "Qing Chi", Cao Muyun and Hua Bushi had become enemies in order to compete for "Panlong Jue", but then Lu Qiuhong betrayed them, they escaped together and became companions again. Now, between them
The relationship between them is like enemies and friends, which is quite subtle.
However, considering that Cao Muyun has lost all his martial arts and has a short lifespan, it seems that it doesn't matter whether he is an enemy or a friend. Moreover, this once high-spirited young master often looks extremely depressed and lonely on his face these days.
He looked like he didn't care about life or death.
After staying at Xinlijia's house for five days, Hua Bushi gained some understanding of the situation in "Moli Village" through sign language conversations with Xinlijia, Jiji and others.
The indigenous villagers in the village all make a living by fishing, and there are only two fishing boats in the whole village. Xinlijia's boat is one of them, and it is also the larger one. In addition to eating the fish they catch,
That is to exchange rice, linen and other food and daily necessities with other surrounding tribes.
The clothes of Hua Bushi and others were already dirty and dirty after being hit by the hurricane and wandering at sea, so Xinlijia had already taken out several sets of home-made linen clothes for them to change into. These clothes were really quite beautiful.
It's rough, the fabric is hard, and it's not comfortable to wear.
Fishing in the sea is the same as planting crops in the fields. Not all seasons are productive. The current season is when the fish tide is coming, which is a good time to go fishing at sea. It is a pity that such a big storm happened.
If these days are missed, the fish tide will pass, and going out to sea by then will not yield much harvest. In this way, it is destined that the whole village will not have a good life this year.
That's why Xinlijia and the people in the village took risks to go fishing in stormy weather.
Hua Bushi asked how long this storm would probably last, and Jiji gestured and said that she had only seen such a big storm twice since she was born on the island. She estimated that it would take at least a month to pass.
Jiji also told Hua Bushi that this was not the first time she had encountered people like them who were shipwrecked at sea. The village's fishing boats had rescued people at sea several times in the past. But most people in the village were afraid.
Associating with outsiders was not welcome, but Xinlijia didn't care. He took them in every time, hosted them at home, and sent them away after they recovered their strength.
Five days later, Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu, and Cao Muyun all recovered their physical strength. Zhu Hong also improved greatly and could barely walk.
Xinlijia led them to the entrance of the village, pointed in a direction with his hand, and opened his arms to make some gestures.
Hua Bushi understood what he meant, and told them to keep walking in the direction he pointed, and they would find a very large tribe, and the people in that tribe were all the same people as Hua Bushi and the others.
And there are a lot of them.
Although it was hard to believe that there were many people like them in the big tribes on this island, Hua Bushi also understood that Xinlijia was going to send them away.
After rescuing them at sea, Xinlijia and Jiji took good care of the four of them. Although the food they provided every day was all fish, it was cooked very roughly and had a fishy smell. It was hard to eat until the end.
They swallow it, but it is also the only food they have.
After showing such great life-saving grace, Xinlijia sent the person away without asking for anything. Although he did not understand the language, Hua Bushi could clearly feel the simplicity of this indigenous fisherman.
and kindness.
Although most of the people in this world who are called "good people" are rich, true kindness has nothing to do with wealth or poverty.
Hua Bushi took out all the silver he had and handed it to Xinlijia. In the past few days, he learned from Jiji's mouth that on this island, silver can also be used as currency to exchange for things.
It's a pity that the young master didn't have much silver in his possession, and most of it fell off in the storm. Now he only has less than five taels of scattered silver left. Although he still has a lot of silver notes with him, but in the
It is obviously of no use to the indigenous tribes on a desert island.
Xinlijia took the money, but there was a hesitant look on his face. After a long pause, he seemed to have made up his mind, turned around and shouted a few times, and the eldest son Xin Wangfei also ran over.
Xinlijia grabbed his son's hand, stuffed it into Hua Bushi's hand along with the five taels of broken silver, and then stretched out his hand to make some gestures.
What he meant was that he wanted Hua Bushi to take his son Xin Wang away from the village.
Hua Bushi was slightly confused, but soon he was relieved and understood what Xinlijia was thinking. There was no father in the world who didn't want his children to have a promising future, and the village they lived in was too poor. Xinwang
If you stay here, you will only become a fisherman when you grow up, which will not change your fate of poverty all your life.
Xinlijia hoped that Hua Bushi could take his son to a large tribe, thinking that Xinwang would live a better life there than staying here. Hua Bushi even guessed that Xinlijia had been willing to take his son in when he died at sea.
People probably hope to meet the right person and have the opportunity to send their children away.
However, Hua Bushi did not think that he was the right person. They had just experienced a change, and the four of them were living on this island. At the moment, they had no idea where their future would be, and they did not even have the ability to protect themselves. If
Bringing another child is not only a burden, but also cannot protect Xin Wang's safety in the event of danger.
Therefore, Hua Bushi shook his hand at Xinlijia and put Xinwang and five taels of broken silver back into his hands.
Xinlijia pointed at the silver and then at Xinwang, speaking in indigenous language, and gestured for a while. Hua Bushi finally understood what he meant with his sharp mind.
The indigenous fisherman said that he had rescued victims from the sea before, but no one had ever given him any money before leaving, so Xinlijia was worried about handing Xin Wang over to those people, and since Hua Bushi was willing to give him money,
He must be a good person, so I wanted to ask him to take Xin Wang away.
In fact, it is not a wise method to judge the level of a character by whether he is given money. After all, most of the victims at sea do not have any money on them.
Hua Bushi pointed at the silver, then pointed at himself and Xin Wang, and made the same gesture, which meant that Xinlijia should accept the silver for the time being. He could not take the child away now. After he went to the big tribe, if there was any
Maybe, I will come back to pick up Xin Wang.
Xinlijia gestured and said that someone had promised to take Xinwang to the big tribe before, but he never came back after leaving.
Hua Bushi pointed to the sky, gestured to his mouth, and then pointed to his heart, which meant that Xinlijia should rest assured, God has testified that he will definitely keep his promise and will never break his promise.
The two of them quarreled with each other for a long time before Xinlijia finally stopped insisting and Xin Wang hid behind his father. However, the indigenous fishermen refused to accept the silver until Hua Bushi put the money on the ground and left.
Go and pick it up.
After coming out of Moli Village, the four of them walked along the road pointed by Xinlijia. It was said to be a road, but in fact it was just a trail between the mountains and fields, which was quite rugged and difficult to walk.
