"Fire and water are merciless, fire and water are merciless!"

Zhang Zhongjian, a bearded guest, stood at the stern of the boat wearing a coat, looking at the rolling river around him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Thinking that his hometown Yangzhou is often flooded, he gushes out an indescribable sadness: "I thought that I could let go of a qiē if I went away, but now it seems that it is still far away!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian was originally the son of Zhang Jiling, the richest man in Yangzhou, and Li Yuanji had the same experience, after being born because he was too ugly and ugly, his father couldn't stand it and wanted to drown him, but because of his mother's bitter pleading, he saved his life, and when he grew up, he practiced martial arts, walked the rivers and lakes and broke into the name of the world's first hero, and then befriended Zhang Chuchen and Li Jing, known as the three heroes of wind and dust.

Zhang Zhongjian took a group of like-minded strangers and strangers to overseas and settled on islands near the Korean Peninsula. Because of his heroic righteousness, he brought a group of capable people to teach the cultural knowledge of the island's residents, and was promoted to be the owner of the island. Zhang Zhongjian did not have the heart to be ambitious, but he had the talent to be ambitious, and he knew the truth that forgetting to fight would be dangerous, so he summoned the strong men on the island to practice martial arts and maneuver to prevent accidents.

Sure enough, not long after, the Daimyo of Fusang Kyushu pretended to be a pirate to attack, and Zhang Zhongjian led the islanders to defeat the pirates. The surrounding islands were divided into parts to ask for help, and Zhang Zhongjian was righteous first, leading the islanders to completely defeat the Haikou Kou.

Zhang Zhongjian also became famous in the archipelago because of this war, and the surrounding 72 islands all respected Zhang Zhongjian as the main one, and they formed a small island country, and Zhang Zhongjian also became the king.

For more than a year, Zhang Zhongjian, the king, deserved to be nourished and moistened, and the seventy-two islands became more and more prosperous, but soon the disadvantages appeared.

The seventy-two islands are resource-scarce. Originally, natural selection was the survival of the fittest. The islanders of the Seventy-Two Islands have undergone all kinds of severe tests. Constant depletion to maintain the ecological balance of the island. The appearance of Zhang Zhongjian taught the islanders cultural science and technology, and brought them together to form an overwhelming force, breaking the natural law of natural selection and survival of the fittest. The ecological balance of the island has been ruined, so much so that the critical problem of insufficient resources has arisen.

Zhang Zhongjian is also not an ordinary person, leading the people to overcome the problem of saving zài one by one. But the latest problem is not something that Zhang Zhongjian can solve.

Insufficient daily medicinal herbs.

Although there are many of the 72 islands, in fact, each island is limited in size, and some are even smaller than the Diaoyu Islands. Nothing will solve this problem.

It is not possible to think that Zhang Zhongjian can only cross the sea and come to the Central Plains again. Use the island's special pearl gold to exchange for medicinal herbs in the Central Plains.

They originally planned to gather enough medicinal materials in Dengzhou and return to the Korean Peninsula, but they didn't want the Tang Dynasty to settle down, but after all, after a long period of war, the world's population has plummeted by three-quarters, and although there is no war in remote places, development is still slow. In most places, you can only barely eat. I can't even eat it. How can you see a doctor, the pharmacy will naturally not be able to open.

As a last resort, Zhang Zhongjian sent the ship out of Dengzhou. Follow the Yellow River to Mengjinkou, Henan.

Zhang Zhongjian and his entourage easily raised enough medicinal materials in Luoyang, and also bought a lot of daily necessities, planning to divert back to the Korean Peninsula.

The night before they were about to leave, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River became a water town, and the sea boats parked on the Yellow River were in danger of being washed away because the water level rose so badly.

Zhang Zhongjian had to board the boat overnight and set sail ahead of schedule on the night of the levee break.

Despite the storm, Zhang Zhongjian's ship showed enough tenacity to stand tall in the flood.

As soon as the water was low at dawn, Zhang Zhongjian beckoned a group of people to stand on the bow of the boat, collect the floating corpses floating down as much as possible, and hold a faint hope to see if there is a glimmer of life, even if they don't, they will be rescued and burned, so as not to become a meal for fish and shrimp, and even less to cause a plague, a little more humane.

"Master!"

Zhang Bang walked out of the cabin, "The boss of the ship asked you whether you are going directly to sea and going home now, or where to anchor." ”

Zhang Zhongjian turned around and said: "Go back, Datang Xinli, in the event of this kind of disaster, they will do their best to relieve the disaster." It won't help us to stay, the inhabitants of the island are still waiting for our medicine. ”

"Look, my lord, there seems to be someone there!" Suddenly a sailor shouted.

Zhang Zhongjian took two steps and one step to the side of the sailor, and looked from afar in the direction of the water finger: a hundred meters on the right side of their ship, there was a broken big dead tree, and a woman was lying on the dead tree, and I didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

"Prepare the hemp rope, tell the boss of the boat, turn the rudder right!"

Zhang Zhongjian roared without hesitation, and the huge sea ship slowly moved to the right.

Zhang Bang hurriedly took out the thick hemp rope from the cabin.

Zhang Zhongjian snatched it, tied one head to his body in a unique way, and threw the other head to Zhang Bang, and the whole person plunged into the rolling Yellow River, leaving a sentence before diving into the water: "Tightened." ”

Zhang Zhongjian grew up in the water town south of the Yangtze River, and learned to be watery since he was a child. In addition, martial arts cultivation has entered the realm of transcendence, and his qi veins are long, and his lung capacity is as strong as a beast. The turbulent water of the Yellow River could not hinder his figure, and he approached the drowning man in the distance at a speed as fast as a swimming fish.

Stretching out his hand to hug the dead wood, Zhang Zhongjian also let out a long breath, and they traveled south all night, avoiding the disaster area, where the water flow is the most rapid. But the force of nature still bothered him completely, and he was tired from swimming a hundred meters.

"Girl, girl......" Zhang Zhongjian pushed the drowning man's shoulder with his free finger.

The drowning man coughed twice, moved his head slightly, revealing a face with a bruised face and beautiful facial features, and opened his cherry mouth weakly: "Help...... Save...... Save me. ”

Zhang Zhongjian said "offended" in a deep voice, and wanted to carry the drowning man over, but he used some force but found that he couldn't hold it.

The drowning man's slender arms were stuck in the dead tree, unable to move.

Zhang Zhongjian suddenly felt in his heart that if he hadn't held the dead tree like this, he wouldn't have survived now, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment: this girl obviously lost consciousness, but instinctively called for help and instinctively hugged the dead tree.

After thinking for a while, his eyes fell on the dead tree, and he shouted angrily, and with a punch from top to bottom, the half-meter-thick trunk actually broke apart. With no center of gravity floating on the water and nowhere to receive force, Zhang Zhongjian actually broke a half-meter-thick tree with one punch.

The dead tree was broken in two, and the drowning man could no longer lie on the tree, and his wrapped hands were freed from Duan Liechu.

Zhang Zhongjian pulled the drowning man in time, and with the efforts of Zhang Bang and a dry sailor, the two rescued the boat.

Zhang Zhongjian lay on the deck, panting, and said, "Let Ling'er help the eldest lady, take a bath for this girl with hot water, and change into clean clothes." There is also a wound medicine equipped in advance, so that Ling'er can watch and apply it. Then go and empty the cabin for the girl to live in. He said that he was also a little glad in his heart, fortunately, there was a mother and daughter who were in charge of cooking among the accompanying figures, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Zhang Zhongjian rested for a while, his body was restored, and he also went back to the cabin to change into clean clothes.

"Master!" Zhang Bang came to the cabin: "Aunt Wang told you to come over and say that the girl is in some danger." ”

Zhang Zhongjian made a calm face and strode to the cabin, the drowning man had changed into clean clothes, the stains on his face had been washed away, and his originally beautiful face was even more gorgeous.

Ling'er sat at the head of the bed, holding a bowl of ginger soup in her hand, feeding it little by little.

When Aunt Wang, the cook, saw Zhang Zhongjian walk in, she greeted her and said, "My lord, your girl's left calf should have been scratched by a rusty blunt object, soaked in the dirty water of the river, and now it is swollen." As he spoke, he came to the bed again, lifted the corner of the quilt, and revealed a small half of his swollen calf.

Zhang Zhongjian's eyes fell on his calf, his complexion changed slightly, and he saw a scratch on the left side of his calf, and he couldn't tell what the injured person was, but because the wound was inflamed, the skin and flesh were soaked in water and swollen for a long time, and the wound was like a turned lips, and the small calf was swollen and almost caught up with the thigh.

He stepped forward to take a closer look, his expression became more and more serious, and he said solemnly: "Zhang Bang, you go to my room and bring me muscle powder...... "Speaking alone, muttering to himself: "This kind of wound, if you are not careful, it will develop into a seven-day wind, then it will be difficult for the gods to heal." ”

Seven-day wind is also called tetanus, even in modern times, as long as the diagnosis is wrong, it is a terminal death, and this is even more true in ancient times, the infected person will die in almost seven days, and there is no medical treatment at all.

Zhang Zhongjian walked the rivers and lakes, licked the blood with the head of the knife, saw many iron wounds, and personally experienced the situation of making the iron wound inflamed more than once. The understanding of this kind of wound is more experienced than that of ordinary doctors, and he can see at a glance the terrible nature of the other party's small scar.

Stretched out his hand and pressed the wound, and found that the temperature of the other party's skin was extremely high, and he let out a long breath and said: "This is not an ordinary trouble, the wound has infected the muscles, and there is too much blood, and the skin is hot and hot, and the situation is very critical." This kind of disease is not good for ordinary doctors at all. ”

Zhang Bang took the muscle-building powder, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "What should I do?" By the way, I heard that there is a miracle doctor named Sun Simiao in the Central Plains, who has the ability to rejuvenate and build muscles with white bones, do you want to go to him? ”

Zhang Zhongjian didn't answer first, carefully sprinkled the muscle-growing powder on the affected area, shook his head and said, "She can't delay this situation, if it's normal." We can send him to Chang'an, the waterway is fast, and we can catch up. It is not a problem to find an imperial doctor with the relationship of Tsing Yi. However, the Yellow River burst its banks, and it is impossible to swim upstream, so even if you take the land route, you have to go around in a big circle. Why don't you go back to the island...... Sue the boss of the boat, speed up with the current, and return to the island as soon as possible. He said the most to Zhang Bang.

There was a Jianghu Langzhong who went overseas with him, who had good medical skills and was the best at healing sword wounds. When he was still young, he pulled him back from the ghost gate many times.

Ling'er said at this time: "This girl has been talking about Chang'an, marriage or something, I can't hear it clearly, I'm worried that she won't wake up and don't want to go overseas with us." ”

Zhang Zhongjian said without hesitation: "People are going to die, what else do you want to go to Chang'an." Since I saved her, I am obligated to heal her. (To be continued......)
