Chapter 20: Undercurrents
Just when the people on the ship were arguing about how to deal with the two pirates, the two pirates also heard their arguments at this time, and Zhilu Dao had reached the time to decide their fate, as long as they were human, they would have a strong desire to survive when they couldn't think about it, and the two pirates were not very old, so they didn't want to die at all, not to mention that they had also seen the fate of their accomplices with their own eyes.
When the sharks in the sea rolled the blood waves in the sea, and scrambled to tear the corpses of those people, the shock of the scene was almost impossible to put into words, and no one wanted to be a feast for the sharks, so the two pirates cried so much that they begged the people on the ship to spare their lives, no matter what they were allowed to do in the future.
So when Feng Scar and Liu Laoliu were arguing, Yu Xiaotian coughed and immediately interrupted their argument, and everyone turned their attention to Yu Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian in this way invisibly emphasized that he was currently the one who had the final say on this boat, and confirmed his status even more.
"Don't fight! I'm in charge of this! I left the two of them! What is the reason, Uncle Sixth just said it clearly, and I don't want to talk nonsense! Neither of them is a great evil, but they are just coerced by pirates, and there is no need to kill them! It has damaged our yin virtue in vain!
In addition, they have injuries on their bodies, how big of a wave can they set off on the vast sea with just the two of them? In short, I left this person, as for what to do in the future, I will talk about it in the future! Don't say anything more, it's settled! ”
As he spoke, Yu Xiaotian turned around and walked in front of the two pirates, and with a "bang", he pulled out his waist knife and cut the ropes that bound the two people without saying anything.
As soon as the ropes on Han Xian and Zhao Si were loosened, they all immediately withered, and they fell to their knees on the board of the boat with tears flowing, at this time they couldn't describe their feelings of almost dying, and all that was left in their hearts was gratitude to Xiaotian, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Yu Xiaotian again and again, expressing their kindness to Xiaotian's life.
Yu Xiaotian looked at the two of them, put the knife back into the sheath, and said in a deep voice: "Although you used to be a pirate, you are not a great evildoer, you can be said to be the same as me, you can also be regarded as a person in distress!" In the future, if you follow me, I don't want you to be slaves, as long as you listen to me and follow me in the future, I will protect you, I will treat you as my own brothers, and I will never let you suffer any more grievances! Do you know the way? ”
After Han Xian and Zhao Si listened to Yu Xiaotian's words, they cried and said yes, Han Xian cried: "If the good man doesn't kill us, it is really like a grace to the two of us, although I Han Xian has never read a book, but I also know that I know the way to repay the kindness, even if the good man lets me go to the soup and fire in the future, if I Han Xian doesn't say half a word, I won't be able to die of thunder and thunder!" Even if you die, you will never be able to live again! ”
After Zhao Si heard Han Xian's words, he also cried and said: "I Zhao Si also swears that in the future, a good man will be my master, and if I Zhao Si has a back master in the future, it will be the same as thunder and thunder in the sky!" ”
Hovering between the two lines of life and death, suddenly receiving this amnesty, can save their lives, people who have not experienced this situation are unable to understand their feelings, at this time in the eyes of the two of them, Yu Xiaotian is undoubtedly like a living Bodhisattva, Mazu, so the two of them were excited, they actually made a heavy oath, to follow Yu Xiaotian, to Yu Xiaotian as the main! At this time, it is said that they will swear allegiance, even if Yu Xiaotian asks them to cut people with a knife, it is estimated that these two guys will not hesitate to jump up and do it!
Liu Laoliu leaned on the side of the ship from a distance, watched Yu Xiaotian release the two pirates, and nodded secretly, he is also an old and sophisticated person, he saw Yu Xiaotian's scheming at a glance, and couldn't help but secretly admire Yu Xiaotian's ability to buy people's hearts, and took advantage of this opportunity to take the two pirates for his own use at once, which is equivalent to stabilizing his current position on the ship, and having two more followers, if he is an ordinary person, I am afraid it is not easy to think about it so thoroughly in such a short time! This can't help but make Liu Laoliu even more impressed with Xiaotian.
Feng Scar and the others saw that Yu Xiaotian had made up his mind, although they were dissatisfied, but they were helpless, this day, Yu Xiaotian's changes were too great, and in the blink of an eye, he became very strong, which made them involuntarily have a sense of fear, and had to listen to his orders, Yu Xiaotian wanted to leave these two injured pirates, and they had nothing to do.
After Yu Xiaotian untied Han Xian and Zhao Si, he made them sit down and examined their wounds again, after the two of them were no longer threatened with death, they were both a little weak at this time, and they felt the sharp pain of their wounds.
After examination, Yu Xiaotian found that there should still be foreign bodies in the wounds on Zhao Dasi's thigh and Han Xian's shoulder, if they were not cleaned up as soon as possible, both of them might lose their lives because of these two small pieces of shrapnel.
In this era, the sanitary conditions and medical conditions are very limited, and many times some people will lose their lives because of small wound infection, so Yu Xiaotian decided to do a small operation for them, take out the foreign body in their wounds, and clean and disinfect their wounds as much as possible, so as to avoid their wound infection and loss of life.
Don't look at Yu Xiaotian is not a medical student, but the common sense of general wound treatment in later generations is far more than that of the late Ming Dynasty, plus Yu Xiaotian has often fought since he was a child, and he will inevitably suffer a little injury, and the knowledge of dealing with wounds is naturally much richer than that of ordinary people, and he often deals with small wounds by himself, which is not a difficult thing.
But the difficulty is the lack of tools and medicines, just now by treating Liu Laoliu with the arrow wound on his buttocks, he knew that the only medicine available on the ship at the moment is some black and unknown gold sore medicine, and there is no other medicine available, let alone any anesthetics.
The only thing on the ship that can be used as disinfectant is a few jars of spirits, the specific degree is unknown, and it is unknown whether it can be used as a substitute for medical alcohol, but this is also a matter of no way.
So Yu Xiaotian had to make it simple because of the ugliness, so Li Jizi went to boil a pot of boiling water, and found some clean cotton cloth in the cabin, boiled it with boiling water and dried it for later use, and then took some spirits, which were used as alcohol to disinfect and clean the wound.
Then he found a sharp knife and a pair of chopsticks to use as clips, boiled them in boiling water and disinfected them first, and then began to treat the wounds of Han Xian and Zhao Si.
The people of this era, except for some doctors, few people know a lot about hygiene, and the people on the ship don't understand the reason for Yu Xiaotian's painstaking treatment of wounds, taking advantage of the debridement treatment of wounds for Han Xian and Zhao Si, Yu Xiaotian made a simple popularization of health knowledge for them by the way, and told them some medical knowledge in later generations, after listening to what Yu Xiaotian said, these people couldn't help but be amazed, and even guessed whether Yu Xiaotian had learned medicine with Yanglang, So I admired him a little more.
But the whole debridement process, but still a bit miserable, without any anesthetic, Yu Xiaotian first used cold boiled water to wash the wound for them, and then used spirits to rinse the wound, and then used a sharp liquor to burn the knife to cut the wound and dig out the foreign body inside, and then used boiled cotton cloth to clean the wound, and the most after the medicine bandaged.
As a result, Han Xian and Zhao Si, who were in pain, cried wolf and howled, screaming constantly, making the boat as lively as a pig slaughtering farm, and everyone was furious when they heard it.
Later, the two had to be re-tied to the mast with a rope, and Yu Xiaotian completed the first operation in his life, but after he treated their wounds, both guys also fainted in pain.
Just now for Liu Lao Liu's arrow bandage, just temporarily treated his wound, this time after everything is ready, in order to ensure that Liu Lao Liu's wound is also better treated, so Yu Xiaotian turned around and asked Liu Lao Liu to re-debride, with the experience of the two pirates, as soon as he heard that Yu Xiaotian was going to clean his wound again, he was immediately frightened Liu Lao Liu's face pale, and he waved his hand again and again to refuse, indicating that his wound was no longer in trouble, so there was no need to trouble Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian persuaded him hard for a long time, but Liu Lao Liu refused to agree, and finally Yu Xiaotian didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he directly asked Liu Lao Liu to hold down Liu Lao Liu, uncover the bandage on his buttocks, and debride him again.
Liu Laoliu's series of ghost crying wolf howls suddenly sounded on the boat, and Liu Laoliu, who was in pain, slapped the board of the boat and scolded Yu Xiaotian loudly, almost greeting Yu Xiaotian's ancestors for eight generations, but the result was that several other people on the boat were scared, all of them were pale like dirt, and they were even more afraid of Xiaotian in their hearts, and secretly wondered, they must not fall into the hands of this guy, although they knew that Yu Xiaotian was saving people's lives, but looking at the situation was similar to killing pigs!
The boat is under the operation of everyone, according to Liu Laoliu's opinion, first turn around and go east for a period of time, and then begin to turn the rudder at night, and go north again, although the Chinese sailboat travels a little slower, but this Chinese hard sail is more convenient to operate, and as long as it is not facing the wind, as long as the angle of the sail is adjusted, you can use the crosswind to continue sailing, and at the same time, the number of Chinese hard sail operators is also relatively small, from this point of view, it also fully explains the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.
Now that the crew on the ship is less than half, when operating the ship, the manpower seems to be quite tight, and the people on the ship can take turns to take a break, but at this time it is obviously impossible to carry out normal rotations.
It was a good thing that there were also helmsmen on the ship who were nicknamed beards, otherwise they would have been lost if they were far from the coast now.
Originally, Feng Scar left Liu Shipowner's body on the ship, intending to bring his body back to Liu's house in Funing, but after night, Yu Xiaotian still ordered Feng Scar to throw Liu Shipowner's body into the sea, the reason is still that the weather is hot, the body will decompose quickly, and if it is not done well, everyone on the ship will be infected, for the safety of the big guy, so it is necessary to throw away Liu Shipowner's body.
Feng Scar was a little unhappy, he was a house slave of the Liu family, although Liu Chuandong was dead, but his family was still there, he was a house slave who followed Liu Chuandong out with the ship, although he could not save his owner's life, but if he could take Liu Chuandong's body home and hand it over to his family for burial, it would also be a great achievement, and the Liu family would definitely not give him less money, so Feng Scarred would deliberately leave Liu Chuandong's body on the ship when dealing with the bodies of the people on the ship, and also found a piece of cloth. Wrapped his body.
Now Yu Xiaotian forced him to throw Liu Chuandong's body into the sea, so Feng Scar's body really can't explain to the Liu family anymore after he goes back, he didn't protect the old man well, and even the body of the owner couldn't be saved, even if he returned to the Liu family, the Liu family might not be able to spare him, so Feng Scar's body refused to agree and threw away Liu Chuandong's body.
Even he yelled at Xiaotian on the boat, saying that Liu Chuandong was his benefactor of Yu Xiaotian, and he Yu Xiaotian couldn't be so ungrateful and treat Liu Xiaotian like this, and wanted to encourage the people on the ship to stand on his side and keep Liu Chuandong's body on the ship.
But in this matter, the other people on the ship did not stand on Feng Scar's side, the reason is very simple, the big guys all know that even if they sail back to Funing Liu's house, it will take several days, the weather is so hot, the sea is very humid, the corpse must soon begin to decompose, no one wants to live with a corpse, once they get sick, even their lives will not be guaranteed, in the matter of life, everyone is on Yu Xiaotian's side.
Looking at the angry Feng Scar, Yu Xiaotian glanced at the other people on the boat again, and saw that everyone was on his side, so a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Either you throw his body down, or I will throw you and him down, you choose!" Yu Xiaotian coldly threw Feng Scar's words.
Of course, Feng Scar would not choose the latter, and under the coercion of Yu Xiaotian, he had to drag Liu Chuandong's body to the side of the boat and push it out of the side of the ship.
It seems that Feng Scara is still quite loyal to his master, looking at the body of Shipowner Liu who fell into the sea sinking and floating in the sea, and gradually drifting away from the ship, Feng Scarry actually lay on the side of the boat and squeezed out a few tears.
Obviously, this Liu shipowner didn't treat the people on the ship very well, so that his death didn't make the others feel too sad, but the big guys still seemed to have a sense of schadenfreude, at least they could eat much better than before!
Because of this incident, Feng Scar obviously had a grudge against Xiaotian, but Mingli didn't dare to take Yu Xiaotian seriously, after nightfall, Yu Xiaotian was on the bow of the ship to lookout, so this guy took the opportunity to start running around the boat, found the other three boatmen, and muttered quietly.
For Hu Cheng, that is, the beard and the cook Li Zhenzi, Yu Xiaotian didn't take them into account at all, these two people are cowards, and they are the kind of standard wall grass, as long as they are slightly scared, these two guys will pee their pants on the spot, and in the battle during the day, these two guys hide the farthest and run the fastest, so basically there is no need to worry.
It's another surnamed Liu's hand, Yu Xiaotian roughly remembers that this person seems to be called Liu Tong, how much he is close to Liu Chuandong, he is a distant relative of Liu Chuandong, he has never talked much on the ship, and Liu Chuandong doesn't seem to have any special care for this border relative, he is a rough person on the ship, usually not very noticeable, he is a relatively honest person, these days Yu Xiaotian is on the boat, he rarely participates in the tricks of Xiaotian, so Yu Xiaotian has a good impression of him.
Although Yu Xiaotian arrived at the bow of the boat, but the afterglow of his ears and eyes was still paying attention to Feng Scar, from the time he forced Feng Scar to throw Liu Chuandong's body into the sea, he saw a trace of resentment in Feng Scar's eyes, and knew that this guy would not just give up, sure enough, now this kid has begun to act, soliciting people on the boat, and he may not be in trouble with him next.
However, Yu Xiaotian is not a master who is afraid of things, he has his own way to deal with this, so he will leave this kid alone for the time being, and let him connect first on the boat.
