The autumn of the tenth year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty of 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 location of the ship to the land is about two hundred steps. Looking in the distance, the mountains are lush and lush. Even in autumn, the trees are still very lush and dense. I think it has something to do with the warm earth atmosphere.
At the bottom of the forest and close to the bay, there is a dilapidated shack. The fence behind the shack is lying down everywhere, as if a figure is shaking behind the fence. It is not clear who it is, but there is a slight and sharp "swish" sound.
The sound is louder than 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 had 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 the time of high tide, there were many rocks on the shore, and the waves crashed against the rocks, making a roar. The sharp sound of swishing was overwhelmed by the sound of the waves and was inaudible. Everyone could only
Looking at the two people at the stern of the boat holding shields, as if they were resisting something, there were two people on each side of the boat 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 responded, 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 on the boat was the bow king Erbai, whom all the sailors on the ship were very concerned about. At this time, his face was gray, his teeth were clenched, and a short spear was stuck in his thigh. This short spear did not penetrate deeply, but it was poisonous.
As for the blood flowing from the wound, it was faintly black.
The crouching man was obviously Mr. Chen. He was concentrating on holding a 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 together with the freshly removed leg meat. Blood gurgled from the wound twice, and was sealed by a piece of ointment with a strong honey aroma. The next moment, Chen
The doctor took out a white cloth and wrapped the 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 nets reacted quickly and rushed over to catch him and took him away.
Go to the rope ladder.
While climbing up the rope ladder, Dr. Chen shouted: "Have the mugwort leaves been boiled in water? The wound cannot be soaked in water. It must be cleaned and the bandage must be changed!"
Beside the ship's side, dozens of crew members agreed without saying a word, and all reached out to meet them. Several people stood on the beam of the mast and continued to look at the situation on the shore.
Now they could see clearly that no less than hundreds of naked and dark-skinned men and women were dancing around the shack. It was so dark that they looked like a group of demons dancing around. Some of them were holding short spears quenched with poison.
, waving to the big ship on the sea.
A sailor sneered a few times: "The waves are so big, it's hard to imagine that these people can carry planks and cross 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 swung 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 his wounds again.
The merchants accompanying the ship emerged from the hatch on the bottom floor to investigate. Just as they saw Dr. 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 about it. 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: "I never thought that such a famous doctor would be a ship's doctor on a ship? Did you contact many doctors? Ahem, I wonder who the doctor is? How many times have we been there?
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 thing. There was a poem at that time that said: "A big businessman will die thousands of times 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 blind and misread the needle path. The three ships plunged into the black water ditch.
It took a full five days to finally float to 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 and went up a river inside the port to hunt deer. Wang Erbai and others who were in charge of staying behind suddenly ran into Shengfan and attacked the port. Both sides rushed.
After a fight, the port was completely destroyed. Wang Erbai protected his companions from boarding the boat, but his own leg was poisoned by a spear.
As long as you have a little better luck, you won't have a series of bad luck. But having such a powerful doctor on the ship means you will have 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 Zhou Daguan family, maybe I can help you connect the dots."
"Okay, okay." The merchant said with a smile: "Let's talk about an ordinary ship's 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 a small amount of money. Even if the voyage between Guangzhou and Qingyuan Mansion is not far, and the time of purchasing goods is three or four months, it will still cost more than 200 guanwen on the doctor, not counting the cost of medicine. If not
A large-scale merchant who monopolizes the goods of a large ship, has a payment of up to 100,000 yuan for the goods in and out, and whose profit exceeds 30% of the payment, is really not willing to support him.
These merchants are all working as a gang, making a trip to Guangzhou to earn three to five hundred yuan. With their savings, even if they buy a ship, they cannot afford a big ship, let alone a ship's doctor.
"It is said that among the trading houses on the sea, the most expensive ones are rich and 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.
On 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, a bit scary.
Touching the heavily bandaged thigh, he felt the injured area twitching and the pain was severe. Wang Erbai gritted his teeth and said, "I'm missing a piece of meat from my boss! A pound of lean and fat meat was cut into minced meat and fried.
Can hold three bowls
meal."
This young captain has always had an eccentric temperament, and his perspective on things and the way he speaks are all different from ordinary people.
The sailor on the side was not surprised and said cautiously: "Prow, 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 sailing trip is too unlucky. Something is wrong. It seems that 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.
