Chapter 5 My name is Li Sui
The weather at sea is unpredictable. I don't know when, a large dark cloud began to slowly approach the full moon in the sky. By now, the entire moon had been obscured by the dark clouds, leaving only an eerie halo of light seeping through the edges of the clouds.
As the wind blows stronger, the waves begin to roar. The waves borrowed from the wind, wave after wave, and rushed straight towards the merchant ship. Like thousands of loose horses, and like countless roaring dragons. The entire hull shook violently. Looks like a storm is coming. Seeing this, the passengers who were still enjoying the cool on the board of the boat hurriedly walked back to the houseboat. Zhu Yunwen was left alone, holding the railing of the boat, looking up and staring straight at the sky.
Sure enough, in an instant, the dark clouds were rolling, the thunder was roaring, and the wind was even worse. There were flashes of lightning at the edge of the black clouds, and there was a scene of slaughter between the sea and the sky. After a short while, the night sky seemed to be torn open by countless openings, and the torrential rain directly merged into a waterfall, pouring down from top to bottom.
Zhu Yunwen had no intention of dodging. Instead, he opened his arms and let the torrential rain fall on him. The dazzling electric light accompanied by the sound of explosion illuminated the sea and sky.
Zhu Yunwen roared in his heart at this time: God, if this is also the suffering you have caused me, I advise you to kill me with a thunderbolt today. Otherwise, from this day forward, I will no longer believe in you. If my previous days were decided by you. Then my future destiny will be in my own hands. Even if everything is fate, I have to change my life against the sky, and my life is up to me!
This rainstorm came and went quickly. Although there were three thunderbolts during this period, the thunder and lightning did not hit Zhu Yunwen. Soon after the rain stopped, he walked back to his room.
When Zhu Yunwen walked back to his room soaking wet, the green-robed man in the same room was shocked. He always thought that Zhu Yunwen had gone to the toilet, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Zhu Yunwen would be so embarrassed.
"Brother, what's wrong with you. Quick, I've got clean clothes here, hurry up and change them. The green-robed man took out a clean set from his carry-on luggage and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.
This time, Zhu Yunwen did not refuse. So he took off his damp clothes and put on clean clothes.
After changing his clothes, Zhu Yunwen hugged his fists and apologized to the green-robed man: "My little brother has been neglecting a lot these days, just because of the tragic changes in his family, he is in a low mood, and I hope that my brother will forgive me." ”
"Brother Tai is polite." The green-robed man also returned the salute to Zhu Yunwen with his fists.
After experiencing the baptism of the rainstorm just now, Zhu Yunwen's entire outlook on life, worldview and values have changed. From then on, in his heart, there was nothing else, and all loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, and shame became worthless to him. The only thing left in his heart was the word revenge. If you tell him that taking his life can help him get revenge, he won't hesitate to plunge a blade into his chest. So, from now on, he decided to make the most of all the people and things around him that he could use. And his intuition told him that the green-robed man in front of him was a person who could be used.
Since then, Zhu Yunwen and the green-robed man have become acquainted. From the mouth of the green-robed man, Zhu Yunwen also probably figured out his origin.
The green-robed man's name is Jin Shihou, who is one year older than Zhu Yunwen. As Zhu Yunwen expected, he is not a Han, but a North Korean. Kim Si-ho's father was an ordinary farmer born in the Goryeo period. In that year, due to the mutiny launched by Lee Sung-gye, the war broke out in North Korea. In order to escape the war, his family moved to live in the coastal area of Daming.
When Jin Shihou was a little older, he started trading between the two countries, because of his quick mind and sincerity. His foreign trade business is becoming more and more successful. Later, he expanded his business territory to all walks of life and became a wealthy businessman in a country that rivaled the wealth. What Zhu Yunwen didn't expect was that even the behind-the-scenes boss of the treasure house where he and Queen Ma met was Jin Shihou.
This time, Jin Shihou's purpose in going to North Korea was not to do business, but to bring his fiancée's family to Daming. is not familiar with this fiancée Jin Shihou, but knows that her name is Cui Euncai. Cui Euncai's family was next to the Kim family at the time, and the relationship between the two families was very good, so the parents of both sides made a marriage contract when the two children were very young.
However, due to the war, the two families were scattered. Although Jin Shihou's father has inquired about the news of the Cui family in many ways, he has not been able to visit him. It wasn't until recently that Jin's father received a letter from the Cui family that he had brought to Mingguo. After learning the news of their father and daughter, Jin's father asked Jin Shihou to go to North Korea to pick up the two. Jin Shihou is a docile and filial person, although this family affair was decided by the elders of both parties, although he doesn't even know what this fiancée looks like now. After listening to his father's words, Kim Shihou still set off for North Korea without saying a word.
Everyone else has told them about their family background, and of course they can't say nothing. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen also made up his past and told Jin Shihou. Mr. Zhu claimed that he was engaged in small business transactions, and later in the course of one transaction, a North Korean businessman defrauded him of all his savings. The purpose of his trip to North Korea this time was to find the businessman and get back the money he had been defrauded.
When Jin Shihou asked for Zhu Yunwen's name, Jin Shihou's entourage Jin An happened to send fragrant pears to the two, looking at the fragrant pears in Jin An's hands, Zhu Yunwen suddenly had an idea, "My name is Li Sui." Mu Zi Li, with the fate. ”
In this way, from now on, there is one less Zhu Yunwen and one more Li Sui in this world.
On this day, Jin Shihou suddenly felt dizzy, felt weak in his limbs, and his hands and feet were cold. Seeing that his master was sick, Jin An immediately called the ship's doctor. Since it took several months to travel by sea from Daming to Korea, it was not uncommon for guests to get sick during this period. So there were two ship doctors on this merchant ship. As long as it is not an incurable disease, they can solve some minor diseases. Of course, you also need to pay for medical treatment. However, money has never been a problem for Jin Shihou.
After the diagnosis and treatment of the ship doctor, it was found that Jin Shihou was "wind and cold into the body." "Originally, typhoid fever was not a serious disease, and it was good to decoction a few pairs of medicines. However, when the ship doctor dispensed Jin Shihou again, he found that the amount of ephedra was not enough. The rest of the ephedra is only enough to make a pair of medicines. However, to treat Jin Shihou's wind cold, it takes at least three pairs.
There was no way, Jin An had to take a pair of medicine to decoction Jin Shihou first, it was better than nothing. Now I have to hope that after Jin Shihou takes this medicine, he will be cured.
But it often backfired, and after taking that medicine, although Jin Shihou's condition improved for a short time. However, because there was no medicine to consolidate the curative effect, by noon the next day, Jin Shihou's condition had worsened again, and he couldn't even make up the strength to eat. Jin An was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Although Jin An and Jin Shihou are the master and servant, their relationship has always been good.
But even if Jin An is in a hurry, it is useless, no is nothing, on this vast sea, no matter how rich you are, you can't get half a penny of ephedra. Without ephedra, Jin Shihou's medicine would not be complete, and without medicine, his illness would not be cured.
"Wind chill?" At this time, Li Sui seemed to think of something, and hurriedly opened the baggage he was carrying. He rummaged through the jars. For malaria, diarrhea, and trauma...... Eventually, he found one in the middle of the medicine bottles, which read "For typhoid fever". These medicines were found by Li Sui in the wooden box left by Zhu Yuanzhang for himself, thinking that he might need medicines for his upcoming trip, so he did not give these medicines to Cheng Ji at the beginning, but carried them with him. Even if Zhu Wenkui has any illness in the future, he left them so many silver tickets, and then he just needs to find a Langzhong.
Li Attendant poured out two dark yellow pills from the bottle, and was about to give them to Jin Shihou, but he didn't expect Jin An to stop him at this time.
"What is this?" Jin An asked vigilantly.
"Typhoid medicine."
"Where did it come from?"
"Someone else gave it."
"You haven't eaten it."
"I haven't eaten it."
"You dare to give it to my master if you haven't eaten it, what if something goes wrong with it?" Since Jin An saw Li Sui on the first day, he didn't like this person in his heart, and naturally he wouldn't easily believe him at this time.
"My medicine is fine, if you don't believe it, you can call the ship doctor to come and take a look."
At this time, it happened that the ship doctor came in for a follow-up visit yesterday, and he really said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.
"Doctor, could you please take a look at this elixir, is it used to treat typhoid fever?" At this time, Jin An took the pill from Li Sui's hand just now.
"You say this is an elixir for typhoid fever?" Listening to Jin An's words, the ship doctor was surprised.
This was the first time the ship doctor had heard that the pill could also treat typhoid fever. Since ancient times, doctors have been grabbing a few herbs and decocting them in a jar for the patient to take. And refining elixir is generally done by Taoist warlocks, and their purpose is very simple, to explore the secret of immortality.
As for the use of elixir to cure diseases, this ship doctor had never heard of it before, and had never seen it before. This can't be blamed on him, since ancient times, the practice of medicine has been based on the records of medical books. And the medical book will not tell about the method of refining the elixir. This is one of them. The second is that refining the pill has very strict requirements for the raw materials and the required pill furnace. Even if they have mastered the art of pill refining, ordinary people can't get together other things they need. Therefore, folk doctors will never refine pills to treat patients.
In order to solve the problem of inconvenient carrying of medicinal materials, the doctors imitated the Taoist alchemy technique and put the medicinal materials into the Dan furnace to refine the medicinal pills. Since then, it has become common for the Tai Hospital to refine pills, of course, these things in the palace are unknown to the common people.
"It's his, and he says it can cure the cold. I don't dare to be careless, so I asked the doctor to see if there is a problem with this elixir? Jin An pointed at Li Sui and said to the ship doctor.
"There are ephedra, cinnamon branches, and Qin Gang...... These are indeed used to treat typhoid fever. But there are still a few flavors of medicine in it, but I can't make out it. So, I'm not sure if there's something wrong with this elixir. The ship doctor took the pill to his nose and sniffed it, frowning and said to Jin An and the others.
"Do you hear that? You better take this medicine away, I don't dare risk my master's life. ”
"I'm sure I'll be okay with this medicine."
"You promise? What guarantees do you take? ”
……
In this way, the two of them began to quarrel.
"Good...... Don't ...... Noisy...... Finish. Handful...... Give me the medicine. I...... Believe...... Brother Lee. Jin Shihou, who was lying on the bed, heard the conversation between the two and said to the two in a weak tone.
"But......" Jin An wanted to say something.
"You...... Don't...... Even my words...... I didn't listen to it either...... Give me the medicine. Before Jin An could finish speaking, Jin Shihou interrupted him.
Seeing that Jin Shihou was so persistent, Jin An had no choice but to hand the pill to Jin Shihou, and Jin Shihou lay down and rested after taking the pill.
After taking the pill for three days in a row, Jin Shihou's illness was cured. During this time, Li Sui has been taking care of Jin Shihou with Jin An. But what no one expected was that when Jin Shihou recovered from his illness, Li Sui was infected with the wind cold again.
Fortunately, only one day later, Li Sui's illness was cured. Jin Shihou was greatly moved by Li Sui's actions these days, and proposed to marry Li Sui as brothers with different surnames.
Jin Shihou called the boat Xiaoer, prepared cattle and sheep, the two drank and burned incense, worshiped heaven and earth, did not seek to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to share the blessings and difficulties. Because Jin Shihou is one year older than Li Sui, Jin Shihou is his brother and Li Sui is his younger brother.
"Big brother."
"Second brother." Jin Shihou helped Li Sui up.
At this time, the corners of Li Sui's mouth rose by a strange amplitude, leaking a subtle smile. Everything was moving in the direction he expected, and it was not in vain that he specially bathed in cold water for half an hour.
