Chapter 19 On the Road

When Shuyun was sorting out the medicines she had left for Tom, she found out the massive amount of medicines she had purchased in her previous life in the storage space. This reminded Shuyun of two very important things, one is to vaccinate Tom with all kinds of vaccines immediately, fortunately, Shuyun also practiced medicine everywhere by the way when he traveled in his previous life, so all kinds of medicines in the space, whether Chinese medicine or Western medicine, injections or equipment, are very complete. Vaccines are also readily available.

The second is to manufacture antibiotics, although there are still a lot of various drugs in the Shuyun space, but if a single class is average, the number is limited. Especially antibiotics, even if there are not too many. Some people say that the invention of penicillin has increased the average life expectancy of humans by 10 years. Shuyun also thinks that this view is very correct. Although Shuyun's body is strengthened by space, she will not get sick under normal circumstances, and the medicine she brought from her previous life is enough for herself and those close to her. But if penicillin is really manufactured, in this era when even a cold can kill people, it will definitely be considered a blessing for mankind.

Moreover, the medical laboratory in Shuyun Space also has equipment in this area, and Shuyun also understands the manufacturing method, and there are many related books in the study room of Shuyun Space. It's really all in place. Now is the time to start and get started early. Because the culture, purification and clinical trials of bacteria take a lot of time.

By the time the experiment is on track and you don't need to take care of it all the time, as long as you adjust it on time, it will already be the beginning of the spring of the second year.

Therefore, Shuyun, who had planned to leave for China in the near future, was delayed in the Holy See for another year.

In the summer of the thirteenth year of Kangxi (1674 AD), 17-year-old Shuyun finally bid farewell to the reluctant Tom and set off to return to China.

Shuyun and Tom have known each other for nearly 15 years, and for 9 years after leaving the Qing Kingdom, they have been with each other almost day and night, and they have always sincerely planned for each other. Now, in their hearts, the other party has long been an inseparable part of their lives. In the face of separation, although both parties have been prepared in their hearts and always have a happy smile on their faces, the smile does not reach the bottom of their eyes, which shows the reluctance in the hearts of both parties.

Shuyun had already contacted Captain Martin in advance and was ready to take his ship back home. So we still have to go to Lisbon and Martin in Portugal first.

So-yun didn't let Tom take her to Lisbon, she was afraid that she would be tempted to kidnap Tom when the time came. Sook-yun didn't want to leave Tom, but she didn't want to stay here. Shuyun has been adrift for too long in her previous life, and she has a strong desire to live a stable life in her hometown. Here are friends Tom knows and loves and is willing to fight for a lifelong cause. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. So Sook-yun can't take Tom selfishly.

The night before parting, Tom said to Shuyun very seriously, "Yunyun, I know that you have a lot of secrets that you don't want to tell, and it's good to do this." You're smart, but you're unpredictable. You're still young, and you can't handle a lot of troubles, so keep your secrets to keep yourself safe. Don't trust anyone, not even someone who is close to you like me. ”

Shuyun realized that in fact, Tom had always known in his heart, this is a really wise and foolish person, and his heart has a very transparent view of many things. It's just that it usually feels simple, even a little stupid. Shuyun couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Pretending to be stupid is also a science, and it's not wrong that stupid people have stupid blessings, just ask who cares about a simple-minded, silly person, so such a person, often no one will set up obstacles for him, and things will be smooth sailing, of course, he will be blessed." ”

The next morning, Shuyun greeted the morning sun, and in Tom's smile, rode the little donkey away in flames.

Because the speed of the flames is so fast, this guy doesn't dare to say that he can travel thousands of miles a day now, but eight hundred miles is still not a problem, and looking at its relaxed ruffian, he hasn't done his best at all. As a result, when Shuyun arrived in Lisbon, she was three days ahead of the agreed time. At this time, Captain Martin had not yet arrived. Shuyun had no choice but to stay in Lisbon and wander around.

There is a newly opened candy store near the pier called "Kevin and Mary Candy Shop". The hostess is Belgian and very good at her craft, and the sweets and pastries she makes are very tasty. His husband, Kevin, is a seafarer and often sails with ships here in Lisbon. So they moved their family to Lisbon, and Mary also opened this candy store near the port. Sook Yun found that Mary's shop not only had delicious sweets, but also very mellow chocolates. According to Mary's own account, it was made from a type of bean called cocoa that her husband Kevin brought back when he went to South America.

There are still a lot of various chocolate products that Shuyun used to buy in the space, and she has found a lot of recipes in the study, so she has not deliberately learned them in Europe in the past few years. Now I happened to meet the pure taste, so Shuyun spent a high price of 5 gold coins to learn from Mary, Mary was originally unwilling to teach, Shuyun said that she would return to the East soon, and promised not to pass on the method, Mary reluctantly agreed.

Through the study with Mary, combined with some recipes and space methods. So-yun is finally able to make delicious chocolate. And a number of varieties have also been developed, including nut, filling, milk, fruity and so on. The large amount of high-quality cocoa accumulated in the space has finally come to use.

Three days later, Martin showed up at the agreed place on time. After seeing Shuyun, a rare smile appeared on that stereotypical face. So-yun found a nearby tavern and invited the Spanish crew to celebrate the reunion. A group of people talked and talked until late at night.

It was almost noon the next day, and everyone got up one after another. After a hurried lunch, I immediately set sail. The ship first had to go to Cape Town, South Africa, to sell a consignment. In the purchase of some local specialties trafficked to Asia. So our group is going to stay in South Africa for a month.

If there is any specialty in South Africa, it is of course gold and diamonds. And now South Africa is a Dutch colony, so it's better to be cheap than cheap Dutch. So as soon as she arrived in Cape Town, Shuyun applied to Martin to go it alone. Martin was originally worried about Shuyun alone, but he couldn't help Shuyun's grinding skills, and he couldn't find anyone to accompany him, so he had to reluctantly agree.

So Shuyun rode on a little donkey and headed for Namibia and other diamond-producing areas. There is no knowledge of South African diamonds, so there are no mines in this area, and it is fair to say that any inconspicuous riverbed in many parts of South Africa can now be a treasure trove.

So Shuyun commanded Xiao Jin to step on a lot of rough diamonds - diamonds in some riverside impact placer deposits. The vast majority of them are gem-quality. Shuyun tries to wander around some uninhabited areas as much as possible, and occasionally encounters sporadic local natives, and for a girl in strange clothes (for them, of course), Shuyun who looks obviously a foreigner, most of the time they show bad intentions.

However, Shuyun is not afraid, leaving aside the space to hide, Wangcai, Laifu and their children, as well as the pair of sheepdogs Audi and Land Rover obtained in Germany are all very good helpers, and even the miniature Xiaojin is a powerful and lethal guy. And Shuyun herself was good in her previous life, and she had been on the battlefield and had seen blood. In this life, he practiced the simple breathing method since he was born, and later insisted on practicing the five bird operas according to the method in the "Green Capsule Book". Although he is petite, he is not given for nothing.

And often, after repelling a few natives with bad intentions, the cautious Shuyun will immediately change the mining site. With the speed of the flames, others can't catch up even if they want to. Since the first time she encountered danger, Shuyun released the dogs again to strengthen the vigilance around her. As a result, the natives of the brigade were avoided.

In this way, he traveled for more than half a month, and with the help of Xiao Jin, countless diamonds were collected. As for the kimberlite pipes that produce high-quality diamonds, don't think about it. All are 150 km below the surface. This time, I got a lot, so don't worry about the difficult ones.

Before the agreed time with Martin arrived, Shuyun returned to Cape Town. I bought a little ivory in Cape Town. There is no way, you can't buy too much, because Shuyun doesn't have much money left, and she still has to live and buy some properties after returning to China. There are a lot of valuables in the space, led by gems, and it's not impossible to sell a little, but the wealth is not exposed, and Shuyun's age is alone, and if you don't get it right, you will suffer a loss, even if you suffer a little loss, you are afraid that it will be remembered by someone with a heart and cause trouble. Dealing with a powerless little orphan girl is a breeze for some people. So you still have to keep some cash on hand.

Then Shuyun took the ivory she had just bought and a few rare herbs picked on the road, and made herself look very embarrassed. I went to meet them with Martin. If it weren't for the fear of Martin's suspicion, Shuyun would be empty-handed, and everything would be thrown into the space, and she wouldn't scandalize herself.

Martin saw Shuyun, pointed to the things in Shuyun's hand and asked, "You've been there for so long, it's because of them?" ”

Shuyun pretended to show off and said, "You don't understand this, these are very precious medicinal materials, and there is no place to buy them if you have money." Critical moments can be lifesaving. As for the ivory, I just bought it at the store next door. ”

The corners of Martin's stiff mouth twitched, "I don't understand what you Qing people are doing to cure diseases." By the way, there was no danger on the way, right? ”

"Why not, I almost couldn't come back, didn't you see me so embarrassed?" Shuyun said with a pitiful look.

"What's going on? They all said they wouldn't let you go, but you just wouldn't listen. Martin grumbled nervously.

"I ran into a few natives with bad intentions, and it took me a lot of effort to get rid of them. Didn't I come back in good time, don't worry. Shuyun comforted.

Martin circled Shuyun up and down for a long time, and after confirming that Shuyun was really fine, he hurriedly arranged the rest of the itinerary.
