It was the autumn of the tenth year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.

Deep in the ocean east of Quanzhou, near Liuqiu Island.

A five-hundred-meter Dafu boat lowered half its sails, and slowly circled on the sea surface along the direction of the water and wind.

From the position of the ship to the land, the distance is about two hundred steps.Looking from a distance, the mountains are lush and lush, even in autumn, the trees are still very lush and dense, probably because of the warmth of the earth.

Below the forest, close to the bay, there is a dilapidated shack.The fence behind the shed fell everywhere, as if a figure was shaking behind the fence, and it was impossible to see who it was, but there was a slight and sharp "swish" sound, overwhelming the sound of the undulating waves.

The sailors on the ship who were looking forward to the sound all looked worried when they heard the sound.

Someone said in a trembling voice: "It would be a great loss if the life of the bow of the boat was lost during this trip."

A person next to him spoke anxiously: "Thanks to him being vigilant, otherwise the ship would be parked in the port, and the big guys would have nowhere to escape!"

Someone comforted his companion: "Chen Langzhong is on the boat, he can save lives! Wang Chuantou can't die!"

At this time, a small boat was undulating among the waves and slowly leaving the port.At high tide, there are many reefs on the shore, and the waves beat against the reefs, making a roar.The sharp swishing sound was overwhelmed by the sound of the waves, and they couldn't hear it. Everyone only looked at the two people at the stern holding up the rattan boards, as if they were resisting something, and two people on each side of the boat were rowing desperately.

After a while, the small boat approached the ship's side, and the two sides bumped loudly.

The sailors on the ship had already put down the rope ladder, and several of them couldn't wait, so they simply climbed onto the fishing nets hanging on the side of the ship, went down to the surface of the sea, and stretched out their thick arms to help control the boat.

The sailor shouted: "How is it? Is the bow all right?"

No one on the boat answered, 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 one squatting.

The person lying down was the bow king Erbai who was very concerned about by the sailors on the ship.At this time, his face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and a short spear was stuck in his thigh.The short spear didn't penetrate deeply, but it was so poisonous that the blood dripping from the wound was faintly black.

The squatting person is obviously Mr. Chen.With all his concentration, he held a small knife and cut open the flesh at the edge of the wound.Although the boat was rocking violently in the waves, his hands were as steady as a rock.

"Is the ointment ready?" Chen Langzhong asked.

A young man who looked like an assistant shouted, "Okay!"

Chen Langzhong put away the knife, grabbed the short spear with his left hand and pulled it out violently.

Wang Erbai let out a muffled snort. The short spear had been separated from the body together with the freshly excised leg meat. Blood gushed from the wound twice, and was sealed with a piece of ointment with a strong honey aroma.The next moment, Chen Langzhong took out the white cloth and wrapped his entire thigh tightly.

"Okay!" he cried, getting up, "let's go aboard!"

While he was talking, a big wave hit him. He staggered and almost fell into the water. His head and face were splashed by seawater.Fortunately, several sailors clinging to the fishing net reacted quickly, rushed over, grabbed him, and took him to the rope ladder.

Chen Langzhong climbed up with the rope ladder, and shouted: "Is the mugwort leaf boiled in water? The wound can't be soaked in water, it needs to be cleaned, and the bandage needs to be changed!"

Beside the ship's side, dozens of crew members agreed without a word, and all stretched out their hands to meet them.Several people stood on the beam of the mast, continuing to look at the situation on the shore.

Now they could see clearly that no less than hundreds of naked and dark men and women were dancing around the hut. It was so dark that it looked like a group of demons dancing around.There are also people holding poisoned short spears and waving them at the big ships at sea.

A sailor sneered a few times: "The waves are so big, it may not be possible for these people to cross the sea to chase them with planks on their shoulders?"

Another sailor directly below him was putting on his armor, and replied in a deep voice: "Fan people don't know how to live or die, they are no different from lunatics. God knows if they can be stopped by the sea at a hundred paces... Before sailing, let's Be careful."

While the two were talking, Wang Erbai was also loaded onto the lucky boat, and then the boat hoisted its sails and set sail, away from the coast, throwing away the madman.There was no time to bring up the small boat, 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, and someone brought a pot of hot mugwort leaf water to help Chen Langzhong debride the wound again.

The merchants on board came out from the bottom hatch to investigate, and saw that Chen Langzhong's whole set of debridement and hemostasis movements were quick and accurate, so Wang Erbai gritted his teeth twice, and his thighs were wrapped up again.

Several merchants opened their mouths wide, and after a moment of stupefaction, they said, "Wang Chuantou is really lucky. Chen Langzhong is not an ordinary ship doctor, but a miracle doctor."

A sailor came down from the girder, heard it and said with a smile: "Chen Langzhong is of course a genius doctor. You go to Linchuan, Fuzhou to inquire about it. Chen's surgery, traumatology, and detoxification methods are very famous!"

A businessman with some knowledge quickly asked, "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 it be that he is Chen Liangfu?"

The sailor nodded triumphantly.

It turned out that the Linchuan Chen family in Fuzhou was a famous medical family, and Chen Liangfu was the best of his generation. It is said that he was cured of his illness at the age of 14. Such a famous doctor accompanied the ship, and the sailors felt that they had face.

The merchant smacked his lips, and couldn't help but asked again: "But I never thought that such a famous doctor would be a ship's doctor with the ship? Did you contact many doctors, cough cough, who is the middleman? How many times have we After arriving at Qingyuan Mansion, if you want to raise money to buy a boat, you will have to ask someone to come forward and introduce a doctor."

Since ancient times, going to sea has been the most dangerous. There was a poem at that time: "A great merchant sails to death".Even if there are a large number of people and a big boat, it is inevitable that bad luck will happen, and the boat will sink at every turn.

Just like this lucky boat that belonged to Shanghai, originally went northward with the fleet from Guangzhou, and the journey was smooth, but the leader of the fleet was blind and saw the wrong needle, and the three ships plunged into the black ditch. It took a full five days to struggle to float to a remote private port on Ryukyu Island.

There were many people in the fleet, and the head of the gang was worried about the lack of 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, bumped into Shengfan's attack on the port.The two sides fought briefly, and the port was completely destroyed. Wang Erbai covered his companions boarding the boat, and his leg was poisoned with a spear.

As long as the luck is slightly better, it will not be a series of bad luck.But there is such a powerful doctor on board, that means extra life in an emergency. Seeing his rejuvenation, Wang Erbai's breathing is steady, and he can't die!
Seeing the envy of the merchants, the sailor said:
"A good doctor like Chen Langzhong is not easy to hire. He followed the ship mainly to go south to Guangzhou, examine the medicinal materials of the year, and treat diseases by the way. As for ordinary ship doctors... After you arrive at Qingyuan Mansion, go to Pay my respects to my senior official Zhou, maybe I can connect you."

"Okay, okay." The merchant said with a smile: "Let's talk about ordinary ship doctors, how much is the monthly salary?"

"It must be [-] Guanwen per month!"

The merchant was taken aback: "Copper coins or clubs?"

"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 away, plus it takes three to four months to purchase the goods, it will cost more than two hundred guan on the doctor, not counting the cost of medicine.If it weren't for monopolizing the goods of a large ship, the import and export payment was as high as [-] guan, and the profit exceeded [-]% of the payment, and the big merchants were really reluctant to support it.

These few merchants are all running the single gang, and they can make a profit of three to five hundred yuan if they go to Guangzhou.With their savings, even if they buy a boat, they can't afford a big boat, let alone a ship's doctor.

"It is said that among the commercial firms on the sea, the most expensive firm is the most wealthy, and it really lives up to its reputation." The merchant praised, his eyes full of regret.

Chen Langzhong had his own cabin at the stern, 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 seal left in the prison camp in his early years became more and more obvious.His eyes were still staring blankly, a little scary.

Touching the heavily bandaged thigh, I felt the wound twitching and excruciatingly painful.Wang Erbai gritted his teeth: "I'm missing a big piece of meat! Even a pound of thin and fat meat, cut into simmered meat and fried, can serve three bowls of rice."

This young ship's head has always been eccentric, no matter how he thinks about things or how he speaks, he is different from ordinary people.

The sailors on the side were not surprised, but said cautiously: "The bow, you can't blame Mr. Chen for this matter. Those raw short spears are very poisonous. If you don't cut off this circle of flesh quickly, you will die just now. .”

"I know!"

Wang Erbai thought for a while, and then said: "This boat trip is too unlucky, something is wrong, it seems that someone is cheating us."

"Who? Who's tricking us?!" The workers, chiefs, and anchors gathered around him all jumped up.

Wang Erbai ignored their questions.

He froze for a while, touched his thigh, and finally looked around at everyone.

"Everyone, I'm dead."

Everyone, Guo Liu's Great Zhou Dynasty, what is the name of the first year?I thought of two, Tiantong or Shengchang, and I found out that they are both images of the end of the world, bad luck :-(
