Starfish Island has some handicrafts that trade with Crystal Fish Point, and there are several simple docks suitable for boats to dock, and there are special islanders responsible for receiving foreign merchant ships.

When the islanders saw the boat approaching, they immediately greeted it. Because of the plague, no merchant ships have been here for a long time. Only Neham occasionally came here to sell drugs and squeeze the last penny out of the islanders' pockets.

Donk led the way forward, followed by One-Eye, Cliff, Seba Stephen and the others.

The plague patients have been quarantined on the island and placed in a corner of the island. People don't have to worry too much about the plague. And they also have medicine in their hands, even if they are too unlucky and are infected, they can be cured in time with medicine.

The islanders were somewhat stunned when they saw that it was a stranger who had come ashore. Luckily, Blossom snatched it from the crowd and met the islanders one by one, explaining their intentions.

When the islanders saw that the savior had come, they were grateful to Donk and the others, and led the way to the patriarch.

The so-called patriarch is also Hualu's father. After hearing the news, the patriarch hurriedly ran out of the tribe to greet everyone, looking very sincere. This time, Hualu ventured out to ask for help, but she decided on her own initiative and did not tell her father. This made the patriarch worry a lot, and he had aged a lot during this time.

The two fathers and daughters hugged and cried when they met, but they couldn't take care of Tang Ke's guests for a while.

But Donk didn't care about these details, he walked all the way, enjoying the scenery of the island. He had been adrift on the sea for so long, and he felt a little awkward when he stepped on solid ground.

Everyone said as they walked, and when they asked, the smoke they saw just now was really burning corpses.

When Hualu heard this, she cried even harder, for her, every islander was as familiar as her relatives, and it would be heart-wrenching to die one. With tears in his eyes, the patriarch asked the others to take care of the weeping flower dew and organize his emotions to receive the guests.

The patriarch brought everyone to the tribe, where the buildings were all straw huts with round structures like yurts. The tribe's meeting room was the largest circular straw hut, where the patriarch received the Tangk.

Donk brought in only a few important crew members, and the rest of the sailors were taken to other places for a while.

The grass shed is dotted with some bone products, including animal bones and fish bones, and the patriarch's seat is still a complete animal skin, revealing a wild surname and ethnic minority style as a whole.

Everyone was seated, and the patriarch ordered the islanders to prepare a feast.

Tang Ke saw that these islanders were so poor that they couldn't eat anything, and waved his hand: "Forget it." I'll have someone go to the boat and get some food in a moment, so you don't have to be so polite. ”

The patriarch thought that Tang Ke blamed them for not being well entertained, and said nervously: "How can that work?" You are guests, and you deserve to be well entertained. It just so happens that we have a few special foods here, so you don't have to eat them. ”

Donk laughed, it's certain that he hasn't eaten it, but whether it's good or not is another matter.

After a moment's hesitation, the patriarch cautiously probed, "I heard that Captain Tangk, you are willing to donate some of our medicine?" ”

"Yes, I can give you some," Donk nodded, "but not necessarily too much, I'm going to sell this medicine." ”

The patriarch was not disappointed, but said dejectedly: "We don't need much on our island, and now most of the islanders who are quarantined have died, and there are few of the remaining patients who can be cured with medicine." ”

Next, the patriarch opened the conversation and told the story of the plague and abuse on the island. There were more than 20,000 people living on the island, but now there are only 6,000 people left, and nearly two-thirds of them have died.

The closest to the island was the medicine factory in Nerham, and other distant merchants would not bring medicine. Because of this, Neam kept raising the price of medicine, causing Starfish Island to not be able to pay for medicine at all.

The cost of a bottle of medicine to cure the Black Devil is 5 silver coins, but Neam is priced at 3 gold coins! It is more than 80 times more than the cost. Later, the island really couldn't come up with any money, so it had to barter and exchange the island's bone products, especially the expensive crystal fish horns.

These crystal fish horns are extremely beautiful, like a transparent ivory, which can be used for carving or decoration, and each one is worth around 100 gold coins. However, if the islanders came to exchange for medicine, it could only be converted into less than 30 gold coins, and they were extorted a large amount of money by Neam.

Donk had agreed with Karow that he would claim to be a medicine merchant on the island, but he didn't tell the truth that he was a pirate.

In this era, the word piracy is very deterrent, and many, many people are afraid of pirates.

The root of terror comes from the various evils of pirates. Things like ship hijacking are not worth mentioning, and the truly crazy pirates will choose to attack a coastal city, sack it, and threaten the empire to pay a ransom on the grounds of burning the city, so as to get a lot of gold.

A pirate who has the strength to attack a port or city is a sign of strength, and once successful, he can make a name for himself and occupy a place on the sea.

If the people of Starfish Island learn that Donk is a pirate, they will inevitably feel guilty.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Donk had to say that he was a businessman.

He was very happy to do things, and after the conversation, he went directly to the ship to pick up boxes of medicine and distribute them to the islanders.

The work of distributing the medicines was done by One-Eye, and he insisted that the medicines sent out should be within the permissible limits and deducted from Donk's share of the goods, and that they should not encroach on the interests of the crew and sailors.

There is a strict profit distribution plan in the pirate group, and Tang Ke, as the leader of the group, has the largest share, about seven or eight tenths. The sailors were the least, and together they could only get less than a tenth.

It can be said that if this batch of drugs is grabbed, it is already everyone's property, and if Tang Ke uses everyone's property to give favors, it will definitely cause great dissatisfaction among the sailors, and their loyalty will be sharply reduced, and even mutiny and riot.

Donk didn't want the whole to loosen up, or to have some precarious internal contradictions. He often chatted with One-Eyes about pirates and detailed the rules and regulations of the pirate group.

In his words, the evil devil's outer way is also the way, and if it is the way, there must be rules on the way.

Fortunately, there were tons of medicine looted this time, and even if some of them were divided with Tangk's share, it would be enough for the patients on Starfish Island.

The dragon pirate group temporarily settled on the island and came to rest for a few days. The people of the island are grateful for Donk's kindness, and every day they feast the pirates with the best food on the island. Seeing the enthusiasm of the islanders, Tang Ke didn't think much about it, and ate and drank peacefully every day.

To Donk's surprise, the food on the island is still remarkable, with several unique foods.

There is a barbecue on the island, which is grilled and drizzled with juice and curry, and it is also rich in condiments, including chili, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, etc. This kind of barbecue is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a bit of sweet and sour because of the juice, mixed with the tender aroma of the meat, which makes the pirates feast.

Another type of chowder is also quite special, which is mixed with pasta and vegetables and fruits, and then lightly fried in oil. This food has a bit of a special taste, and Tang Ke is not used to it, but he still prefers barbecue.

In addition, there are beef fried corners, tricolor ostrich quiches, and cornmeal risotto...... Wait, anyway, the pirates ate all the food on the island.

Except for Seba Stephen, who still looks like a gentleman, the rest of the people are all eating and drinking nonsense, and the islanders are a big step closer to bankruptcy. However, in the eyes of the islanders, they are all benefactors, and even if they eat too much, they are willing.

In addition to food, the pirates also found a special playground on the island, which is called the Skull Course.

The so-called skull course is to drill five holes in the skull, stick your finger into it, and throw the skull like a ball. There are two ways to play, one is to have the skull roll into the pit, and the other is to use the skull to knock down the small wooden stick.

To put it bluntly, this is the skull's version of bowling.

The people of the island believe that this activity is more like a religious activity than a game to ward off evil spirits.

Anyway, there is time, and Donk doesn't play less, as long as he doesn't care about the skull in his hand, it's quite fun to play. What made him wonder was that Hua Lu grew up playing with skulls, why was she so daring?

During this period, the patients who took the medicine also improved, and at least 2,000 lives were saved.

As a doctor, Seba Stephen has been busy lately, diving headlong into the front line of treatment, teaching the islanders how to treat the infected, how to maintain hygiene, and diagnosing other diseases for the islanders, and helping them with whatever illness he can.

He, as a doctor, does not see death and does not save him, but only saves those patients who can be cured.

This elven ship doctor has an indifferent attitude, but he is meticulous in his work, and he charms a large number of female islanders. Later, even if they were not sick, the female islanders pestered the ship doctor and refused to leave, so that the ship doctor had to lose his temper. However, the female islanders are more clingy, because they find the ship's doctor more charming when he loses his temper......

The pirates who have no female popularity can only dry their eyes, and one by one they say that they will buy a dress to wear next time they dock, get a monocle to wear, and pretend to be a gentleman.

However, Donk said in time, except for Seba Stephen, who on the ship was wearing a dress and shooting whom, there was no ambiguity at all. He didn't want to take a group of pirates in formal clothes to go on a crusade. Even if the pirates were to have uniform uniforms, everyone would have to wear a black trench coat like him!

One-Eye never bothered to participate in discussions like this.

Donk felt that his stay was enough, and if he stayed like this, the pirates would lose their fighting spirit, and the island would be empty of them. Moreover, both ships have also undergone major repairs, and the holes have been patched with camphor wood from the island, and they are ready to sail.

He told everyone about his imminent voyage, and the pirates cheered and looked very energetic.

After hearing the news, the patriarch found Tang Ke and said mysteriously, "Captain Tang Ke, please come with me, I have something for you." ”
