Mars Kuhn left with his brother and the nearly a thousand surviving sailors. We have agreed not to invade each other from now on, but of course we both understand that such a commitment is not worth anything, and everything is just a balance based on strength.

I talked a lot with old Tucker and Mavi, both of whom were a little distracted at this time, but they both controlled themselves with great self-control and would not do anything unfavorable.

I know that old Tucker would like to fly to the Mediterranean and find his only relative in the world, his granddaughter Christina. But from here to the Mediterranean, even if the journey is smooth, it will take several months, not to mention that everything is still difficult to say, so the time is really difficult to control, and there is no hurry in these days.

But I made a promise to Old Tucker that we would rush to the West as fast as possible, as long as there were no obstacles on the way, and it would be very fast.

Old Tucker nodded gratefully. I think that if this situation were changed to Mavi, even if he was only given a small boat, he would take care of himself and take the first step, whether old Tucker had experienced strong winds and waves, or could he hold on.

Over the next few days, I ordered all the staff to rest on the spot, and on the other hand, to repair the five new large three-masted sailing ships in the North Sea, and to familiarize myself with them briefly, so that I could feel at ease when I went to sea.

At this time, I also encountered a problem of scratching my head - there were too many wounded, and Rodriguez was a doctor who was in a hurry to deal with it. Moreover, it is the height of summer in the southern hemisphere now, the weather is extremely hot, and under the existing medical conditions, the recovery of the wounded is extremely slow, and some even have relapses!

Rodriguez was also helpless, it was the first time he had faced so many patients at the same time, and most of them were injuries caused by muskets and artillery, which was particularly difficult to recover. If you take them back to Manila now, I am afraid that the environment at sea will be harsh, and it will be even more difficult to recover!

After thinking about it, I didn't have a better way, but old Tucker thought for a while, and suddenly said with uncertainty: "Captain, I have been walking in this area for many years, and it is said that there is an aboriginal village on the other side of the island, and I heard that there is a famous miracle doctor in it."

Mavi groaned for a moment, frowned, and said, "You mean...... Mamaha Di Divine Doctor? I've also heard his legends. His Chinese medicine is very powerful, it is said that he can give birth to white bones and live dead! I don't know if it's true. ”

I was amazed, "And such a miraculous doctor?" Where is it, take us to him! ”

Old Tucker nodded and said, "According to legend, this Mamaha Di Divine Doctor lives in seclusion at the eastern end of this island!" It takes three days to walk and half a day by boat. ”

So I ordered a boat to go to the eastern end of the island as fast as I could, and call on the legendary miracle doctor.

Negros Island is not very large, and our boat arrived at the eastern end of the island in the morning. After disembarking from the boat, they scattered their people and searched everywhere, and soon found the aboriginal tribe living in seclusion at a backwater bay in the sea.

Looking at these people living in the grass, I suddenly remembered Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source, which is really a paradise away from the hustle and bustle! The house is not large, the main structure is made of wood, and the roof is covered with bamboo tiles. The surrounding grain fields are connected, and chickens and dogs smell each other.

The children were playing around in their little shorts, and when they saw an outsider coming, they ran home screaming, and soon many people came out of the village, looking at us with some wariness.

A man who looked like a village chief walked out, stopped a few meters away from us, and asked us what to say in the local language. I definitely didn't understand this, but fortunately, there was Mavi, a local, who also answered the other party in the local language, and the village chief suddenly looked a lot more respectful, and seemed to look Mavi up and down a few times with great nostalgia, and then nodded and made a gesture of please.

I asked the team to stay in the village, and I took a dozen people to follow the village chief inside. On the way, I whispered to Mavi, "What did you tell the village chief?" Why did his expression change all of a sudden? ”

Mavi smiled bitterly and said lightly: "I said the name of the previous kingdom, and I told him that I am Prince Mavi." This village chief even remembers me! So no more defenselessness is enough. ”

I couldn't help but be amazed. The sophistication of human feelings is really universal, which has nothing to do with ability, the only relevant factor is chance......

When we entered the village, the villagers, hearing that it was the prince of the former king, had returned, ran out of the house, and stood in two rows along the village path, looking at us with admiration. Many people saluted us, but their movements were very inconsistent. Almost everyone had a smile on their faces, and their eyes were pure - these simple aborigines were so pure in heart!

On the way, Mavi had already told the village chief of our purpose, and the village chief was not ambiguous, and immediately took us to the house of the witch doctor Mahadi.

To be honest, when I heard the word witch doctor, I still muttered a little in my heart, and I always felt that this thing was unreliable. But Mavi and Old Tucker were full of confidence, especially Old Tucker, who was very vague in his words, as if he had a relationship with the witch doctor.

The Witch Doctor's home is not the largest in the village, but it must be the highest, as it has two floors! Of course, it can't be said to be a second floor in the true sense, but an attic is built on the basis of the first floor, but even so, it is already a high technology that ordinary people in the village cannot reach.

I asked everyone to stay outside, and I took the Nine Ghosts Masataka, Mavi, and Old Tucker into the house with the village chief, and the witch doctor seemed to know that we were coming, and was sitting in the main hall waiting for us.

I entered the door and bowed, and looked at the witch doctor a few times. Thin and old, but his eyes are bright! He wore a linen robe diagonally, and around his neck was a pendant chain made of an unknown animal skull. The whole house is gloomy, and there are all kinds of indescribable and inexplicable things, but there is no strange smell, which makes people inexplicably different.

When he saw us coming in, he bowed his head slightly and saluted, and when the village chief explained our intention in the local language, Mamaha Di was silent for a long time, but his eyes kept on me, and there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, and it seemed to be able to penetrate everything.

Suddenly, he opened his shriveled lips and spoke: "O young man from Middle-earth! The gate of your destiny is to the west, and to find your destiny, you must go all the way to the west! To the west! Don't stay here for long! ”

It turned out to be Chinese! I couldn't help but be amazed! I was about to open my mouth to ask, but Mamaha Di raised his hand to stop me, and he continued, "Don't be surprised! My ancestors were originally Han Chinese, and when my ancestors went to sea with the eunuchs of the Three Treasures, they had a private relationship with the female officials on the ship. When I got here, the female officer was about to give birth. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, no blood can be seen in the boat, so my ancestors and husband and wife got off the boat here and came to this village. ”

I let out a long sigh and said in surprise: "I didn't expect such an opportunity!" You can meet people from your hometown here! ”

Mamaha Di smiled slightly, although it was more ugly than crying, but the tone was warmer: "Young man, sit down and talk!" I'm all about medicine here, and I don't have anything to entertain you! ”

We nodded and sat down, sitting in a circle around Mamaha Di, and then he continued to say in a strange voice: "I know your intentions, I have a herb here, which is most suitable for musculoskeletal trauma, take it internally and apply it externally, and you will definitely see it in seven days!" After speaking, he pointed to a large cabinet in the corner of the supplies and gestured to us.

I was a little embarrassed and asked, "We have injured hundreds of people, I wonder if the amount of medicine we have is enough?" ”

Mamaha Di smiled a little tiredly: "For so many years, I have been single and idle, so I have hoarded a large number of medicinal materials, refined them into medicines, and stored them here. Don't say 100 people, a few times more is enough! Now that you are here, go in half. The rest will be left to the villagers, and I will be gone in the future, and they will have a medicine to keep. ”

I frowned and said, "Where are you going?" The younger generation is ready to go to sea, I don't know if it can help? ”

Mamaha Di smiled slightly and said softly: "The young man is enthusiastic, but you can't help me with my place for the time being—I'm going to the Pure Land of Bliss, and I'll go alone!" Don't dare to bother to send each other! ”

I couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that?" The seniors are in good spirits, but why do they say this? ”

Mamaha Di smiled faintly and said, "I am ninety and three this year, and I have a very high lifespan in this life, and I have been enlightened for many years, so I naturally know that the end is coming. Young people, there is no need to make a fuss about this fact, birth, old age, sickness and death, it is just human nature! ”

I hung my head in silence, not knowing how to describe the mood at this time. The elders who had just met said so calmly that their deadline was approaching and that they were about to become ancient, I was speechless, I could only sigh. After a long time, he asked: "I don't know what other wishes the seniors have, the juniors will definitely help to fulfill them." ”

Mamaha Di glanced at Old Tucker and smiled slightly, "Are your feet alright?" ”

Old Tucker saluted and said, "All right! Thank you for your help, otherwise tetanus alone would have killed me! ”

Mamaha Di didn't answer, but just smiled slightly, looked at me and said, "It's a chance to meet someone from Middle-earth at this time. You have a friendship with my ancients, and that is fate on fate. Young man, I have practiced medicine all my life, and I have no other accumulation, and the only thing I am reluctant to give up at this moment is my experience in practicing medicine written down by myself in the past few decades! ”

With that, he turned around, opened a small suitcase on his left, and took out a stack of notebooks from it. It can be seen that these books are quite old, and they should be brought by his ancestors from the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the local area to have such advanced papermaking technology.

Ma Ma Hadi patted these books lightly, and said with a slight smile: "I studied medicine with my father at the age of five, graduated at the age of nineteen, and practiced medicine for seventy-four years. Well, look at this! ”

As he spoke, he took out the bottom notebook and handed it to me. When I took it and looked at it carefully, the handwriting on it was almost gone, but I could still vaguely see a few words "Shanghai Miscellaneous Diseases"! It is Zhang Zhongjing's book!

Seeing that I was looking seriously, Mamaha Di smiled and handed me a large pile of his notes, and said softly: "When I was young, I also went to sea with my father and wandered on the ocean for more than ten years. In my opinion, the prescription of the medical saint is worth 10,000 gold, but one side of the water and soil nourishes one person, and one side of the water and soil nourishes one thing. The water and soil of overseas medicinal herbs are very different from those of the Central Plains, so I combed them through and wrote down these experiences. If you want to go to sea, you must be able to use it! ”

As he spoke, he pointed out one by one: "This is the experience of the surrounding Indians, and this is the experience of the south of the country of Tyusaro, where the people are quite dark and very interesting. This book is the experience of practicing medicine in Western places, and it must be the most useful for you! ”

I was overjoyed. In this era, the biggest enemy at sea is injury and illness, and the conditions at sea are bad, and once you get seriously ill and strange, you can only wait for death. Every year, the remains of non-combat attrition sailors at sea are thrown into the sea, and if the conditions are good, they may fire a few shots for him, and if the conditions are not good, it will be a splash.

And with these tips, it's different! I have to find a Chinese medicine doctor, preferably younger, and then give him these experiences, so that going to sea will have an extra layer of protection, right?

In addition to being happy, I remembered something again, so I asked, "Senior! Is this experience a rubbing? ”

Mamaha Di smiled strangely: "How can I have time to do rubbing?" It's all lonely! ”

I couldn't help frowning: "Lonely? Then this one is too precious! I took it, how can your descendants learn? How do locals seek medical treatment? ”

Mamaha Di couldn't help but show a strange smile, shook his head and said, "My experience is written in Chinese characters, but no one in this village knows Chinese characters except me!" I have been at sea all year round, my only child died at sea, and there is no descendant, if these tips are left here is a real waste, you take them, at least they are still really useful! ”

I see, I couldn't help but be silent. Liang Jiufang said: "In this case, I will arrange for someone to send some fashionable medicine from time to time!" ”

Mamaha Di Dayue, clasped his hands together and said, "So good! Young man, remember my words, to the west! To the west! Don't stay! ”

After saying that, he folded his hands, slowly closed his eyes, smiled and spat out the last words: "When I die, please bring my heart back to Middle-earth!" ”

Words are gone......
