Chapter 178: Deadwood Island

"Oh, then how did you end up here, and live in seclusion on the beach as a fisherman?" Hu Yi continued.

Xia Yiyi smiled and said, "After Master left, I stayed in the mountains for another three years. Later, when a plague broke out in a nearby village, I went down the mountain to heal it, and I never went up again. Because in my opinion, leaving that sad place may be the best choice, just taking the opportunity to practice medicine, and since then I have traveled all over the world.

"Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Mount Hua, Mount Wutai, etc., the great rivers and mountains are at my disposal. I traveled all the way to practice medicine, and by the time I had traveled all these famous mountains and rivers, I had become an old man. Even so, my heart is still young, and as long as I have time, I will move on to the next goal and never stop.

"Until one day, I came here, looked at the endless sea in front of me, and refused to leave for a long time. Maybe I was used to seeing the green bamboo forests of the high mountains and cliffs, or maybe I was tired of hearing the insects, birds, and wild beasts roaring, but at this moment I inexplicably remembered a voice in my mind, and told me loudly that this is the place I am coming.

"I knew it was advice from the bottom of my heart, so I couldn't say no, so I decided to stay. So I stopped my tracks, bought wood and ropes, and set out to build my own hut. It took more than a month to finally complete the construction. ”

"Oh, so that's the case, and it's no wonder that a person who wanders out for a long time always has to stop. It's a beautiful place with a beautiful scenery and a suitable climate, and it's a real pleasure to live here. Qiao Zhengyu suddenly smiled.

Xia Yiyi glanced at him and said, "Well, I'm a person who likes to be quiet, it's sparsely populated and far away from the city, so you don't have to worry about someone coming to disturb you." If I'm hungry, I don't have to go to the vegetable market to buy food, I just go to the sea and catch some fish or something, which saves me a lot of time and gives me time to study medicine. ”

Qiao Zhengyu listened, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Divine Doctor Xia, you are a skilled doctor who should have saved lives and helped the wounded, but why did you repeatedly refuse the Three Ghosts of Nine Dragons and not treat their island master?"

Xia Yiyi's face sank, and he said: "Hmph, I can save anyone in this world, but I can't save anyone on this Kowloon Island." ”

Qiao Zhengyu wondered: "Oh, why is this? Could it be that the people of Kowloon Island have any deep hatred for you?"

Xia Yiyi didn't speak, was silent for a moment, and said: "That's not true, it's just that the people on Kowloon Island are ruthless and unreasonable, and I can't get used to it, so I won't save it." I remember one time, I went to the island to collect medicine, and I accidentally found an extremely precious medicinal herb. I wanted to bring it back for research, but I was stopped by people from Kowloon Island.

"I argued with them, but who knew that they were not reasonable at all, and they just snatched the medicinal herbs. Not only that, but they rummaged through me, took everything of value, and finally beat me up again before leaving happily. After this catastrophe, I became seriously ill. It is also the heavens that have brought me back to life. However, since then, I have secretly sworn in my heart that as long as it is a person from Kowloon Island, no matter who is sick, I will not save it. ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves again, pointed to his arm, and said, "You see, this scar was left at that time, and if I hadn't dodged quickly, I'm afraid that my entire arm would have been cut off." ”

Qiao Zhengyu and the others saw that there was indeed a knife mark on his arm, and they both nodded slightly. After a while, Qiao Zhengyu said, "So."

Speaking of which, the people on Kowloon Island are all heinous, aren't they good people?"

Xia Yiyi said: "Needless to say, think about it, I just went to the island to pick a herb, and I almost lost an arm, is there any more unreasonable person in this world." Also, the owner of the island is vicious, and he is definitely not a good person, otherwise, he would not have done such a poisonous hand to his subordinates. ”

"Oh, what does Doctor Xia mean?" Qiao Zhengyu asked curiously when he heard what he said.

Xia Yiyi continued: "Yesterday, I gave the three ghosts a pulse, and found that all three of them had been poisoned by a poison called 'The Most Poisonous Woman's Heart'. This kind of poison is said to be poison, but it is not actually poison, as long as the poisoned person is not the right thing, maybe the poison in the body will never attack, and it can save his life.

But where did the three ghosts know, they only said that they were highly poisoned, and if there was no antidote, they might die of poison at any time, so they were afraid of emptiness every day. Don't you know, in this way, you fell into the trick of the island owner, which made the poison more and more severe, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to survive for another three days. ”

Qiao Zhengyu and the two listened to it, and then they remembered the strange words of Xia Yiyi yesterday, and they couldn't help but suddenly realize.

Qiao Zhengyu said: "Then aren't the three of them hopeless, and they can only wait for their lives?"

Xia Yiyi glared at him and said, "Little brother, didn't I say just now, this poison can only rely on yourself, and others can't help it." If the three ghosts want to live, they must cultivate their temperament and do more beneficial things, only in this way can they completely remove the toxins in their bodies. Other than that, there is no other way. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "Doctor Xia, you wait for us." Then he saw a ship going upwind and following closely behind the ship.

The three of them were feeling strange and looked intently, but they saw the three ghosts of Kowloon driving a small boat behind them and struggling to catch up. Although they were going against the wind, the three of them paddled hard at the same time, and after a while, they came to the three of them.

Seeing Xia Yiyi and the three of them, Zhang Tianzuo hugged his fists and said: "Everyone, Zhang Tianzuo came presumptuously, if there is any offense, I hope to forgive me." Yu Guangqing and Mao Zhimu also erected the bow of the boat and bowed to each other.

Xia Yiyi saw that it was the three of them, his face had already been painted with a layer of blue, and he said coldly: "The three ghosts of Jiulong, what are you doing with me, didn't I tell you a long time ago, don't even think about it if I want me to save you." ”

Zhang Tianzuo bowed and said, "Divine Doctor Xia, the three of us came this time not to beg the divine doctor to save people. It's just that the wind and waves on this sea are very strong, and you and I are walking together, so we can take care of them. ”

Xia Yiyi snorted: "Go, go, go, who wants to walk with you, and you don't know where I'm going, but why do you insist that you are a peer?" I've seen shameless, but it's the first time I've seen shameless people like you." I advise you to get out of my way, and don't be presumptuous and get in my way. ”

"This 。。。。。。 Zhang Tianzuo was stunned by him, and immediately a little confused, pointing to the boat and saying: "This is strange, aren't you going to Kowloon Island? I am most familiar with this route, if you don't go to Kowloon Island, where will you go?"

Xia Yiyi listened, smiled, and muttered: "Nine Dragons and Three Ghosts, I said how can there be such stupid people as the three of you in this world, although this sea is boundless, it is inevitable that you will encounter other ships, which is a normal thing." Wouldn't it be far-fetched to say that they were peers as soon as they met?"

This sentence made the three ghosts understand, and they all nodded and bowed, and their mouths were raised

Lian said that he was not, and then slowly left. Even so, the three ghosts were still suspicious in their hearts, and they didn't go far, but left Qiao Zhengyu and the others a few feet away, and still followed behind.

Xia Yiyi saw it, shook his head and scolded: "These three people have not changed their minds, but they also have some perseverance. Anyway, if they like to follow, let them follow, anyway, no matter how much they toss, I won't save them. ”

When Qiao Zhengyu and Hu Yi heard this, they also smiled slightly and did not speak.

After about half an hour, I saw an island looming in front of me. Zhengyu was overjoyed, and said to Hu Yi and the others: "Senior Hu, Doctor Xia, look, is it Kowloon Island ahead?" He was bent on seeing the sparrow, so he quickened his rowing.

Xia Yiyi saw it, but shook his head and said: "No, no, there are three islands around Kowloon Island, namely Samsung Island, Sun Moon Island and Deadwood Island. There are no trees or people on the island in front of you, and it seems that it is mostly a dead wood island. ”

Qiao Zhengyu and Hu Yi didn't believe it, and looked towards the island, and saw that the island was full of yellow sand, and there was not a single tree in sight. Qiao Zhengyu exclaimed: "Strange, how can there be such a place in this sea? ”

Hu Yi also said: "It's indeed a little strange, there is no shortage of sunshine and water on the islands, so most of them are dense with green forests and flowers. But here it is different, the island is unplanted, yellow sand, and even desolate. ”

Xia Yiyi smiled: "What's strange about this, there is a reason why Deadwood Island has become like this, not its original appearance." Originally, this place was also full of trees, red flowers and green grass, but it was cut down by the people of Kowloon Island, and this became what it is now. ”

Qiao Zhengyu said: "Oh, this island is so good and no one is provoking anyone, so why do the people of Kowloon Island do this?"

Xia Yiyi said: "Why, it's not because of the island owner's words. I heard that one day the owner of the island was in a bad mood, so he sent someone to raze the dead wood island to the ground, as for what made the owner so angry, then I had to ask the owner himself. ”

"I don't need to ask the owner, I know a thing or two about this. Zhang Tianzuo suddenly shouted, paddling hard, and unconsciously approached Xia Yiyi's boat.

Seeing that the two boats were only a few feet apart, he heard Zhang Tianzuo say again: "Actually, the reason is very simple, because the island owner lost his temper that day, as if it was because of his wife. And the owner of the island loves his wife very much, and he can't bear to hurt her, so in a fit of anger, he made the decision to clear the island.

"It's my three brothers who do this, and you think that the island is so big and full of trees that it will not be easy to cut down all the trees on the island. It took the three of us nearly a month to cut down all the trees, and those days really exhausted my three brothers, and they worked hard every day, day and night, so that they couldn't even stretch their waists. ”

Xia Buyi sneered: "You deserve it, who told you to do these immoral things." When you're done, get out of the way and don't let me see the three of you. ”

Zhang Tianzuo and the three didn't dare to talk back to him, looked at each other for a while, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, I have some more questions to ask. Qiao Zhengyu said suddenly.

When Zhang Tianzuo and the others heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and they said happily: "The hero just asks, as long as I know, I will answer truthfully." ”
