Chapter 243 Bai Lan
When you land on Qianlong Island, the first thing that catches your eye is the fruit trees with red fruits hanging everywhere.
"This is the red dragon fruit, and legend has it that the red dragon on Qianlong Island likes to eat not humans, but the fruit of this fruit tree. ”
Lotus to Chu Jing popularized science.
It was not the first time Chu Jing had seen red dragon fruit, and he had even eaten it, but he didn't care about it at the time, after all, the taste of this fruit was only average.
Qianlong Island is the origin of red dragon fruits, and the red dragon fruits from other islands are traded into other islands from here.
"Let's go, it's better not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings in someone else's orchard. Lian walked in one direction at a time.
Chu Jing had a question, "Is this red dragon fruit ripe every season? ”
Lian and Xu Qian both looked at Chu Jing strangely.
Chu Jing also found himself asking a very stupid question, overseas is much warmer than on the Divine Continent, even in this season, most people are wearing single clothes, where will there be any winter.
"You're from a place where there is winter, have you ever seen snow? I heard that white snow is beautiful. The lotus showed a look of yearning.
Chu Jing didn't know how to answer, there was no snow in the winter of Xinguo, at least Chu Jing hadn't seen snow yet, but in the Wild Mountain Range, there was still snow accumulation, but Chu Jing didn't see snow either.
"Snow, it's okay, if you don't want to go to the islands, we can go to the places with snow together, but it's very cold there, you may not get used to it. ”
Lian replied: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold, and I don't want to go back to Lorile Island, it seems like a good choice to go to a place I haven't been." ”
Xu Qian looked at the two of them, much more harmonious than expected, and much less concerned about the Blood Bones.
Xu Qian really hoped that Chu Jing would personally say that the Bloody Bones was just a pirate ship that he had stumbled upon and had nothing to do with him, but unfortunately Chu Jing didn't seem to want to explain it anymore.
In a depressed mood, she wanted to eat in her mouth, hanging on the tree, the red dragon fruit looked very attractive, Xu Qian picked one casually, took a bite, and splashed sweet juice.
Suddenly, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl appeared in the distance, glaring at Xu Qian and the three of them angrily, and shouted: "The thief who stole the red dragon fruit!"
This girl is dressed in red, the same color as red dragon fruit, with a long ponytail, she looks full of vitality, with high breasts, even if her skin is a little tanned by the sun for a long time, but this is also a healthy beauty.
"Thief?" Xu Qian looked around, and then at the red dragon fruit that she had bitten in her hand, her expression was very innocent.
"This is a beautiful misunderstanding...... Xu Qian hurriedly argued, blaming herself for being cheap, why do you want to pick red dragon fruit to eat, there are a lot of delicious things in the backpack, no worse than red dragon fruit.
"Hugh, don't quibble, watch the fight!"
The girl seemed to be an anxious person, and she didn't give Xu Qian a chance to defend herself at all, so she picked up a small fist and hit her.
The value of red dragon fruit is not very high, far from meeting the standard of filing a case, so for fruit farmers, even if their orchards are stolen, they can only consider themselves unlucky, even if they take down the thief in person, at most they will send it to the government, criticize and educate it, which can be said to be a waste of their time.
Therefore, the most perfect solution for thieves is to arrest them and beat them severely, as long as they do not leave obvious serious scars, the matter is solved.
The government will not hold fruit farmers accountable for fighting thieves.
This is not reasonable, naturally it is not, but it is a pity that people who have the ability to influence the government do not care about the small amount of money of this little fruit.
The girl didn't just notice Xu Qian and the others, but noticed them when they landed on Qianlong Island, so she hid them until Xu Qian started picking red dragon fruits.
Xu Qian and Chu Jing didn't expect that there would be other people nearby, so they relaxed their vigilance before they encountered such a problem of being regarded as a thief.
The girl's strength is very strong, Xu Qian can't resist it at all, and it is obvious that this girl is quite restrained and does not use all her strength.
Chu Jing stopped watching the play, originally thought that Xu Qian was a ranger and could not be bullied by a girl in an orchard, who would have thought that the facts would be deviated.
Chu Jing hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the girl's wrist, and stopped her fist in front of Xu Qian.
"Stop, it's really a misunderstanding. ”
"Nonsense, I saw you steal my red dragon fruit with my own eyes......"
However, the girl couldn't go on, because Chu Jing handed over a small piece of gold, the value of gold and silver is recognized, and it is an absolute hard currency, even in Qianlong Island.
"How is it possible, you are so rich, why did you steal my red dragon fruit. ”
The girl did not accept Chu Jing's small gold nugget, but looked at Chu Jing and the three of them suspiciously.
Chu Jing casually made up a lie and said: "The boat we took hit the reef at sea, so we had to take a small boat to drift to the beach here, climbed up, and entered your orchard. ”
The girl thought for a moment, and it seemed that these people really appeared in the orchard out of nowhere, and if she had entered through the main entrance, she could not have found out.
The girl still didn't accept Chu Jing's small gold nuggets, she knew the value of gold very well, even if the overseas gold was not like the Lishen Continent, the gold mines belonged to the state, but because of the difficulty of mining, the value of gold was still high, and this small piece of gold could even buy dozens of red dragon fruit trees.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it, anyway, a red dragon fruit is not worth much, it can be regarded as an apology for my rash move just now. ”
Chu Jing looked at this girl curiously, but he didn't expect that there would be such a person who would not accept the small gold nugget he gave.
Xu Qian also felt that Chu Jing's gift to the little gold nugget was a bit too much, but the girl insisted on not accepting it, which made Xu Qian feel even more uncomfortable.
"No, if I eat your red dragon fruit for nothing, then my reputation as a thief is not confirmed, I was wrong just now, but I must not eat your things for nothing." ”
Xu Qian took it out of the sea and took out a golden hairpin, the style is not very exquisite, but after all, it is made of pure gold.
Xu Qian followed Chu Jing to venture underground and get a lot of beso, and the price of Luoli Island was problematic, and the cost of the golden hairpin was not a lot.
Lian basically exchanged Besso for all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, and Xu Qian also bought some of them.
Actually, she wants it herself, even if it is a lot of sales, it is not bad to stay by herself.
Xu Qian reluctantly handed the golden hairpin to the girl, "Na, this is a red dragon fruit for you." ”
"Don't. ”
The girl stubbornly turned away and had no interest in the golden hairpin.
"This person has a lot of personality. Chu Jing commented in his heart.
"Wait. ”
At this time, Lian called out to the girl and said to her back: "I asked you have the smell of medicinal herbs, I am an alchemist, I should be able to help you." ”
The four words of alchemist made the girl's back tremble, only to see her suddenly run back, grab Lian's hand, and say excitedly: "Are you really an alchemist?
Lian also wanted to return a dragon fruit favor for her because of Xu Qian's relationship, but she didn't expect it to be a very troublesome thing.
"I'm only the lowest level of alchemist, and I don't know if I can help. ”
"No, you have to help me, please. ”
The girl's eyes were full of anticipation, and sadness was revealed.
Alchemists are not all over the world, and there are only a handful of alchemists living on overseas islands.
The island of Lorile is a very strict seclusion system, there are special colleges, and the investment in the education of alchemists is still very large.
As for other places, alchemists are generally passed down from master to apprentice, and the master's hand-to-hand teaching may be more effective, but human selfishness often makes alchemists cherish their brooms and are reluctant to pass them on when they die, so the development of alchemists is still much worse than that of Luoliedao.
This is also what Lian thought at the time that Chu Jing was a member of the pirate group, and he went to Luolie Island to kidnap an alchemist to serve him.
Chu Jing and the three of them followed the girl to a hut in the orchard, no, it should be called a small villa.
The three-story building, standing at the top, should be able to see the sea, is a top-notch sea view room.
Chu Jing couldn't help but ask quietly like Xu Qian, "Is red dragon fruit very profitable?"
Xu Qian pursed her lips, "A small piece of gold can buy a red dragon fruit." ”
She was still complaining about Chu Jing's atmosphere, if the girl really accepted her golden hairpin, she would definitely be distressed and couldn't sleep at night.
On the way, the girl introduced her name to the three of them, her name is very good, called Bai Lan, it sounds like the meaning of white orchid, in fact, Lan means the fog in the mountains, and Bai Lan refers to the white fog in the mountains.
When he arrived at the three-story building, Chu Jing also smelled the smell of herbs, and it seemed that there was indeed a serious patient here.
The chance of getting sick is very low for those who practice martial arts, and as long as the martial arts are high enough, they can even be immune to all poisons.
When facing the Heavenly Gods, Qin Yue's poisons instantly lost all their effects.
However, because of the alchemy enhancements provided for martial artists such as pills, ordinary diseases can basically be cured quickly.
At present, what kind of disease is Bai Lan in the building, there are many merchant ships coming and going from Qianlong Island, and there are generally ship doctors on board, it shouldn't be because the level of those doctors is too low.
Soon, Chu Jing and the three of them saw a very thin woman lying on the hospital bed.
The woman looked no more than forty or fifty years old, but her hair had long since turned gray, and she looked very bad.
"This ......," Ren asked, after one glance, "it's not a disease, it's like poisoning." ”
"You are indeed an alchemist, you can see at a glance where your mother's illness is, yes, your mother is indeed not suffering from an ordinary disease, but was poisoned ten years ago, so she has been bedridden, she could still move before, and in recent years, she can only lie in bed. ”
Lian is a little helpless, it is true that she is an alchemist, but it does not mean that she knows how to heal, knows how to detoxify and save people.
Well, medical skills can also be regarded as one of the compulsory courses for alchemists, after all, the value of various materials itself Alchemists need to know that the combination of various plants is not much different from medical skills.
"Do you know what poison your mother had?"
Bai Lan shook her head, "I've seen a lot of doctors before, but unfortunately no one recognized this poison, so I could only prepare various antidotes to suppress the toxin, but as time went by, the toxin attack became more and more serious." ”
Lian began to observe Bai Lan's mother's symptoms, looking and asking, although they were not in the same time and space, their methods were similar.
"The organs of the inner house are very seriously exhausted, I don't know what this toxin is, but there is a way to suppress it. ”
Lian said slowly.
"Inhibition? Can't you completely remove the toxin?"
"I don't know, but if it can increase the vitality of her organs, maybe she can resist it on her own. ”
As the so-called right medicine, Lian doesn't know what poison she has been in, but she knows how to fix it, the poison ten years ago, if it can be restored to normal levels, maybe the poison will be solved.
"Okay, what to do?"
Bai Lan thought for a while, suddenly ran to another room, and after a while, took out two money bags.
"There is so much left for me to treat my mother over the years. ”
The money bag is made of satin with delicate patterns on it, and it looks very valuable, and the weight of the money bag looks very heavy, even if it is a coin like Besso, it should be a lot.
It turned out that Bai Lan's net worth was not low, so she could ignore money.
Lian didn't take the money bag, but said, "It takes a lot of money to buy materials to treat your mother, and I won't take your money, it depends on whether you can buy what I need." ”
Lian saw that there was paper and a pen on the table, these two things were not put in the room by anyone, it seemed that Bai Lan was not a "reckless man".
Lian slowly wrote down a lot of materials on paper with a pen, some of which Bai Lan knew and some she didn't know.
"This ...... Isn't this a medicinal herb?"
"Well, I'm an alchemist, not a physician, they use herbs to save people, and I use alchemy powder made from various ingredients. ”
Bai Lan didn't know much about alchemists, but he had heard rumors that they seemed to be omnipotent.
Bai Lan trusted Lian even more.
"Okay, I'll prepare these things right away, you guys stay here first, and use the things as you like, you're welcome. Red dragon fruit is also eaten casually. ”
After speaking, Bai Lan ran out in a hurry.
The distance between the orchard and the town is not short, but Bai Lan's strength is obvious to all, and it doesn't take much time to think about it.
Xu Qian really picked a red dragon fruit, and said while eating: "I didn't expect that we had just come to Qianlong Island, and we had a place to live, so it was quite useful to master one more craft." ”
Lian said lightly: "It's not that simple, Bai Lan's mother's poison is not so easy to treat, and I don't know if she can get the materials she needs." ”
"It's okay, anyway, we're going to stay on Qianlong Island for a few days, so there's no need to rush. Chu Jing sat down and poured a cup of tea.
"How many days?" Xu Qian said in surprise, "We have been sailing at sea for so long, just to stay on this island for a few days?" Chu Jing, why did you come here, and what kind of conspiracy do you have?"
Chu Jing didn't hide it, "I'm here to find something, it's on an island overseas, but I don't know which island it is." ”
Xu Qian and Lian didn't ask, knowing that this answer was enough, and any more words might cause disgust.
When night fell, Bai Lan hadn't come back yet, and I didn't know if she was in any trouble.
Lian was not good at taking care of people, so she had to instruct Xu Qian to let her make a decoction for Bai Lan's mother.
This decoction does have a toxic suppression effect, but the most important thing is that it can maintain the basic life of the unconscious.
Chu Jing and the three of them all have sleeping bags and the like in their backpacks, so they can rest even in the wild, and now in the small building, it is naturally even more so, as for the casual use of the building's items, they still won't touch it casually.
At noon the next day, Bai Lan came back, but the expression on her face was very depressed, it seemed that the materials that Lian had given her had not been collected.
This was not what Lian expected.
Bai Lan had a large package in her hand, she put the package on the table, opened it, and said to Lian: "There are three materials that I haven't bought, one of them, I have already issued a mission, and there are adventurers who have accepted the task, and there will definitely be a reply within three days." As for the other two......"
"Blood Eagle Eggs and Dragon Scale Stones are indeed rare, but these two are the main medicines, and they are indispensable. Lian said seriously.
"I know, I've found out where the blood eagle appeared, there are no adventurers there who want to go, and the price is too high, I can't afford it, I'll go in person, as for the dragon scale stone......"
"Dragon scale stones are generally in the deep sea, and occasionally get them from the stomachs of big fish, which is very rare, I only know that there are at least three dragon scale stones in the royal city of Luolie Island. ”
"O Rio Island Castle. Bai Lan suddenly found hope, but found that this hope was so far away, it was already difficult to get the blood eagle eggs, and she had to go to the royal city of Luolie Island to ask for the dragon scale stone......
Bai Lan sighed deeply, "I know, I'll figure it out." ”
Saying that, Bai Lan was going to walk out again.
At this time, Xu Qian stopped her.
"Wait, you're not going to face the Blood Eagle alone, it's too dangerous!"
Bai Lan showed a resolute look, "I'm going to go to danger too." ”
After speaking, he strode away again, Xu Qian grabbed Bai Lan from behind, and then turned his head to Chu Jing and said, "Since we have decided to help her, it is better to help her to the end, we are also adventurers, let's go and get blood eagle eggs together." ”
Lian didn't speak, she didn't want to go.
"What is a Blood Eagle Egg?" Chu Jing did not answer directly, but asked this question.
Lotus Gang Xu Qian explained: "The Blood Eagle is a kind of monster that lives on the cliff, its own strength is not weak, and its flight speed is faster than that of the Sword Saint, the Blood Eagle Egg is the egg laid by the Blood Eagle, because it is on the cliff, it is very difficult to obtain, unless it is the Sword Saint to shoot." ”
The Juggernaut is the Ling Void Realm, probably so, after all, both can fly freely.
Lian added, "Under the Sword Master, it is almost impossible to obtain the Blood Eagle Egg, and there is only one way to die if you fall off the cliff. ”
