Chapter 343: Five taels of silver

After entering the wooden house, Zhu Hong was still bedridden and placed on the bed, and under the command of Xinlijia, Jiji brought out drinks and fruits to entertain everyone, and seemed quite hospitable.

The fruit is a pink-colored, fluffy fruit that looks very strange, but when the shell is peeled off, it has an off-white flesh that is fragrant and sweet, and the taste is very good. Gigi called this fruit "Labudan", Hua Bushi knew a hundred herbs, and had studied plants quite a lot, but he had never seen this fruit, and it was thought to be a local specialty, and there was no such species in Middle-earth.

The drink, on the other hand, is a mixture of fruit juice and some kind of leaf grinding, which looks dark green, rather cloudy, and quite bitter in the mouth. The drink is called "fruit stack" in the Aboriginal language.

As soon as Hai Hongzhu saw the dirty water-like mixture in the wooden cup, she felt a little sick to her stomach, and she refused to drink it, and those strange names such as "Labudan" and "Fruit Stack" made her dizzy. Cao Duyun was originally a golden son, and he has always eaten fine clothes and fine food, but Narabudan still ate a few, but the fruit stack really couldn't drink it, so he could only put it aside.

Among the three of them, only Hua Bushi was full of interest, not only drank the "fruit stack" in the cup, but also kept gesturing to ask Jiji how this drink was made.

Ji Ji gestured for a long time, Hua Bushi was still at a loss, she only got a large handful of leaves from behind, handed it to the eldest young master, and gestured that the drink was made of grinding these leaves, and this kind of leaves were everywhere in the nearby mountains.

The four stayed in Sinliga's house for five days.

In the past five days, Hua Bushi used the method of pricking the acupoints with silver needles every day to treat Zhu Hong's palm poison, and finally the poison in his body was basically stabilized, and he would not attack at any time. However, this young man's poisoning was more serious than Cao Duyun's, and after such treatment, he not only couldn't use martial arts, but also his physical strength weakened, and it was not easy to get up and walk.

Now the situation of Zhu Hong and Cao Duyun is somewhat similar, the "Absolute String Palm Poison" has invaded all the meridians of the body, just like Mr. Martha earlier, there will be about three months to live. If you want to really remove the palm poison, you have to use the method of "digging holes to cure poison" that Hua Bushi said to Mr. Ma Da in "Longchuan City".

However, the method of cutting the meridians and key points with a sharp blade is too dangerous, according to Hua Bushi's estimate, he is only three or four percent sure that he may succeed at most, and once he fails, even if he does not die, he will be paralyzed for life, and there is no possibility of recovery. If it is not a last resort, Hua Bushi will not dare to act rashly.

Regarding this situation, Hua Bushi did not hide it from Cao Duyun, and said it bluntly, but after hearing this, this Duyun prince bowed his head and was silent.

Previously, on the "Green Cockroach", Cao Duyun and Hua Bushi had become enemies in order to compete for "Panlong Jue", but then Lu Qiuhong betrayed, they escaped together, and became companions again, and now, the relationship between them is like friend and foe, quite delicate.

However, with Cao Duyun's current state of losing all his martial arts and his life for a short time, it doesn't seem to matter whether he is an enemy or a friend, and this once high-spirited beautiful son has a depressed and lonely look on his face these days, as if he doesn't care about life and death.

During the five days he lived at Xinlijia's house, Hua Bushi also had a little understanding of the situation in "Moli Village" during the sign language conversation with Xinlijia, Jiji and others.

The indigenous villagers in the village all make a living from fishing, and there are only two fishing boats in the whole village, and Xinlijia's boat is one of them, and it is also the larger one. In addition to eating the fish they caught, they exchanged rice, linen and other food and daily necessities with other surrounding tribes.

The clothes of Hua Bushi and the others, after the disaster of the hurricane and the drift on the sea, were all dirty and rotten, and it was Xin Lijia who had already taken out a few sets of earthen linen clothes for them to change. These clothes are really quite rough, and the cloth is hard, and it is not comfortable to wear.

Fishing in the sea, like growing crops in the fields, is not harvested in all seasons. At the moment, it is a good time to go out to sea to fish, but unfortunately there is such a big storm. If these days are missed, the tide of fish will pass, and there will not be much harvest when they go to sea, so it is destined that the whole village will not have a good time this year.

That's why Sinliga and the people of the village would venture out to sea to fish in stormy weather.

Hua Bushi asked how long the storm would last, and Gigi gestured that she had only seen such a big storm twice since she was born on the island, and she estimated that it would take at least a month or more to pass.

Ji Ji also told Hua Bushi that it was not the first time that people like them had been shipwrecked at sea, and that the fishing boats in the village had rescued them several times at sea in the past. It's just that most of the people in the village are afraid of associating with outsiders, so they don't welcome it, only Sinliga doesn't care, and every time he takes them in, entertains them at home, and sends them away when they recover their strength.

Five days later, Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu, and Cao Duyun's physical strength had recovered, and Zhu Hong had also improved greatly and could barely walk.

Sinliga led them to the entrance of the village, pointed in one direction, and gestured with open arms.

Hua Bushi understood what he meant, that is, if they walked in the direction they were pointing, they would find a very large tribe, and the people in that tribe were all the same people as Hua Bushi and them, and there were a lot of them.

Although it was a little hard to believe that there would be many people like them in the large tribe on this island, Hua Bushi also understood that Xinlijia was going to send them away.

After rescuing them at sea, Sinliga and Gigi took good care of the four of them, and although the food they were provided every day was all fish, and it was cooked very coarsely and fishy, and it was hard to swallow to eat zuihou, but it was also the only food they had.

With such a great life-saving grace, Sinlika sent people away at this time, but he did not ask for anything. Although the language barrier, Hua Bushi can clearly feel his simplicity and kindness from this indigenous fisherman.

Although most of the people in this world who are called "great good people" are rich people, the real kindness has nothing to do with rich and poor.

Hua Bushi took out all the silver taels on his body and handed them to Xin Lijia. In the past few days, he learned from Gigi's mouth that on this island, silver can also be exchanged for money.

It's a pity that the silver taels on this eldest young master's body were not much, and most of them fell in the storm, and now there are less than five taels of broken silver left. Although there were still a lot of silver tickets on his body, they were obviously useless among the indigenous tribes on the desert island.

Xinlijia took the silver, 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.

Xin Lijia grabbed his son's hand, stuffed it into Hua Bushi's hand with the five taels of silver, and then reached out and gestured.

What he meant was that he wanted Hua Bushi to take his son Xinwang away from the village together.

Hua Bushi was slightly puzzled in his heart, but he was quickly relieved and understood Xin Lijia's intentions. There is no father in the world who does not want his children to have a good life, and the village they live in is too poor, if Xin Wang stays here, he can only become a fisherman when he grows up, and he will not be able to change the fate of poverty for a lifetime.

Xin Lijia hoped that Hua Bushi could bring his son to the big tribe, thinking that Xin Wang would definitely live better there than staying here. Hua Bushi even guessed that Xin Lijia had always been willing to take in the people who were shipwrecked at sea, probably hoping to meet the right person and have the opportunity to send his children away.

It's just that Hua Bushi doesn't think he is the right person. They have just experienced a change, the four of them are stranded on this island, they don't know where the future will be, they don't even have the power to protect themselves, if they bring another child, it is not only a burden, but also if they really encounter danger, they can't protect Xin Wang's safety.

Therefore, Hua Bushi shook his hand at Xin Lijia, and stuffed Xin Wang and five taels of broken silver back into his hands.

Sinlika pointed to the silver and then to Xinwang, and in the native language of his mouth, he gestured for a while. Hua Bushi finally had a quick head, and he roughly understood what he meant.

The indigenous fisherman said that he had also rescued the shipwrecked from the sea before, but no one had ever given him silver before leaving, so Xin Lijia was not at ease to hand over Xin Wang to those people, and since Hua Bushi was willing to give silver, he must be a good person, so he wanted to ask him to take Xin Wang away.

It is not a wise way to judge the quality of a person's character by whether or not to give it silver, after all, most of the shipwrecked at sea will not carry silver on their bodies.

Hua Bushi pointed to the silver, and then pointed to himself and Xin Wang, and also made a comparison, which means that he asked Xin Lijia to accept the silver taels for the time being, he can't take the child away now, and when he goes to the big tribe, if possible, he will come back to pick up Xin Wang.

Xin Lijia said that someone had promised to take Xin Wang to the big tribe before, but he never came back after leaving.

Hua Bushi pointed to the sky, compared his mouth, and then pointed to his heart, which meant that please rest assured that God testifies that he will definitely keep his promise and will never break his promise.

The two of them fought against each other for a long time, and Xin Lijia finally stopped insisting, and Xin Wang hid behind his father. However, the indigenous fishermen refused to accept the silver taels, and it was not until Hua Bushi put the silver on the ground and left that Xinlijia went to pick it up.

Coming out of the village of Moli, the four of them walked along the path pointed by Sinliga. It is said that it is a road, but in fact it is just a trail between the mountains and fields, which is quite rugged and difficult to navigate.
