Chapter 16: The Strange Duo

According to Li Yingyuan's wishes, he was unwilling to continue to stay in the county office to work for the English, but at this time he had nowhere to go, if he returned to the hospital, he didn't know if he would be assassinated by the Fusang Ronin in a way, and also set an example for the English.

As for going to sea and returning to Hangzhou, he really hopes to do it, but it is unlikely at this time. Not to mention that the sea route has been cut off because of the English, and even if it weren't, it was unlikely that Li Yingyuan would return to Hangzhou without a single eyebrow on the mission.

Expecting the old monk to be kind, it is impossible to recover the life and death talisman for the sake of the complicated situation, after seeing the behavior of Major Andrew, Li Yingyuan is more and more sure that the old monk will only find a way to clean himself up, and will never let go.

Then, the only reasonable choice is to continue to stay in the county government and help the English people, and those Fusang people will not run to the county government to kill people. Wouldn't it be better to have this ability to drive the English people away?

Fortunately, it's not too bad to stay in the county office. It's also a great blessing in life to give Dr. Shepherd a hand and see how Dr. Shepherd does those seemingly miraculous surgeries.

Although the county seat has been occupied, many soldiers who were injured during the occupation had to be treated and cared for, and there were always some soldiers who were injured for various reasons.

Following Dr. Shepud, Li Yingyuan learned how to dig open the wound and remove the bullet, and then sew these extremely practical skills with needles and threads. These things look easy, but how to avoid blood vessels, how to reduce damage to muscle tissue, and how to suture are all knowledge.

The two tacitly did not mention the earlier grievances, but only focused on the treatment of the injuries, and formed a half-teacher, half-friend relationship.

Now there are a lot of Ming people who do things for the English people, there are as many as thirty or forty people, many of them are their own children sent by the original fast officials in Dinghai County, many people know how to write, clever but have a lot of problems, but they are almost the same mold as Chen Changsheng, and they like to say who my father is when they see people.

Among these children, there are also seven or eight who work under Shepud, including Chen Changsheng. In terms of family background, Li Yingyuan is far inferior to them, but at this time they are apprentices at most, but Li Yingyuan is half a doctor, half a generation higher than them, and it can be regarded as feng shui in turn.

Because they live in the same house and usually work together, the relationship between Li Yingyuan and Chen Changsheng has also improved rapidly, and they can take care of each other when they have something.

On this day, the two teenagers who lived next door to them came to the door, saying that they were neighbors and that they would take care of each other in the future.

"Zheng Sanguan, a native of Fujian, has seen two brothers, and I hope everyone can take care of each other in the future!"

"Liu Xiang, a person from the Dinghai Sea, has seen two brothers, I hope everyone can take care of each other in the future!"

Two young men who looked full of energy came over, with loud voices and wearing the red military uniforms of the Englishmen, but at first they startled Li Yingyuan and Chen Changsheng.

I saw these two people, wearing the red military uniforms of the English and wearing high hats, except that they did not carry guns, they were two English soldiers. According to the two of them, the two of them went to Nanyang since they were young, and under the leadership of adults, they followed the English people, so they are proficient in English, and they are currently interpreting for the English people.

Compared with Li Yingyuan and Chen Changsheng, who didn't know much about anything, these two people knew much more, and they also knew all kinds of things and customs of the English people.

"The British Empire is currently the most powerful country in the world, and it is certainly right to follow the English Empire. Zheng Sanguan, the eldest of the two, said.

The smaller person, Liu Xiang, is an authentic Dinghai person, and he is very excited to return to his hometown from Nanyang this time.

Chen Changsheng suddenly remembered something, pointed at Liu Xiang and exclaimed.

"You're a dog, your dad has a stall selling shoes at the west gate of Waikou, I know you. I heard that you went to the South Seas with your brother-in-law, but I didn't expect to come back. ”

"I don't call Gouyu, call me Yunlang!" Liu Xiang's face was originally fine, but it also darkened at this time.

"Why isn't it a dog, when you went to Nanyang with someone, you didn't come back for several years, your mother cried on the street several times, but I didn't expect it to be good all the time. Chen Changsheng was also considered to have no eyesight, so he didn't react and continued.

"Gou Yu is my nickname, but now it's Liu Xiang, you hear clearly. The dog leftover, that is, Liu Xiang, yelled, and then was stunned again. "You are the child of the head-catcher family in the past, the one born to the concubine in the third room, how can you also do things for the English people?"

"How am I here, no matter what you do. This time, it was Chen Changsheng's turn to be unhappy.

It turned out that Chen Zhutou was also a figure in Dinghai, with a solid family, married several concubines, and was also full of children and grandchildren. Of course, Chen Changsheng, as the child born to Chen Zhutou's third concubine, would not be very happy about this.

This time, the English captured Dinghai and released the captive headhunters to do their work, on the condition that each family sent their heirs to the barracks to listen to the English people. Chen Zhutou pushed Chen Changsheng out and did things for the English people.

This is a proton, Li Yingyuan has pondered it before, and from this point, it can be seen that Chen Changsheng is not very favored at home, otherwise he would not let his family push it out to do such a dangerous thing.

Unlike Li Yingyuan and Chen Changsheng, Zheng Sanguan and Liu Xiang had no resistance to working for the English, and they were full of seizing the opportunity to do great things and establish an industry.

Listening to these two people, Li Yingyuan knew that the English country that he had never heard of turned out to be a big country in Taixi, from the distant continent of Europa to the New World of America, and then to the South Seas, with a large number of ports and land, it was the strongest and richest country in the entire Europa.

As for saying that it is stronger than the Ming Dynasty, Li Yingyuan does not think so, with the mentality of the Ming people who regard themselves as the central state, they will not admit that any country will be stronger than themselves, and will only attribute it to the fact that the other party is young and coaxed.

Zheng Sanguan and Liu Xiang usually stay on the ship, but this time the upper echelons sent them down to live in the yamen, so they are not familiar with some things on the island. Li Yingyuan felt a little pity in his heart, if they had seen the scene when Andrew shot and injured the people of the Ming Dynasty, would they still be full of longing for England like now.

Knowing that Li Yingyuan and Chen Changsheng had only recently started working for the English, Zheng Sanguan and Liu Xiang glanced at each other and exchanged views without a trace. Li Yingyuan inexplicably felt that there was more eagerness in the demeanor of these two people.

"If you live so close, let's take care of each other in the future. Let's talk about age first and see who is the oldest. Zheng Sanguan's eyes flashed and said.

When it comes to age, Zheng Sanguan and Li Yingyuan are both sixteen years old, Liu Xiang and Chen Changsheng are both fifteen years old, but Li Yingyuan is two months older than Zheng Sanguan, and Liu Xiang is three months older than Chen Changsheng. At this moment, the three young people suddenly stopped talking again.

"In addition to age, it also depends on who is the most promising, such as who makes the most money and so on. My monthly salary is three dollars and five cents, how about it, a lot. Chen Changsheng hurriedly said, thought about it, and added: "Also, my dad is our big catcher in Dinghai, and he has dozens of people under his hands." ”

"Liu Xiang, a second-class soldier's salary, one or two or five dollars a month. Didn't the officials in Dinghai all die clean when they fought a few days ago?" Liu Xiang smiled, but he poked at the sore spot of others.

"Zheng Sanguan, a second-class soldier's salary, a monthly salary of one or two and a half dollars. However, Major Andrew said that I am a fast learner, and I may be able to become a non-commissioned officer within a year. Zheng Sanguan did not show weakness and also said.

Liu Xiang and Chen Changsheng glared at each other, as if a spark was missing, and then the three of them turned their heads again and stared at Li Yingyuan together. Zheng Sanguan mentioned Major Andrew, and Li Yingyuan was surprised.

"My monthly salary is said to be 11 taels a month, Andrew said, and I don't know if I can do it accurately. Li Yingyuan said lightly.

"Ten taels of silver, impossible, how can it be so high. Zheng Sanguan was surprised, with a look of disbelief.

"This is really what Major Andrew said, or in front of everyone, it will definitely count. Chen Changsheng tried his best to support his fellow housemates. The corners of Li Yingyuan's mouth twitched unnaturally, it was really not a memory that he wanted to recall.

"Hehe, everyone is a brother, let's talk about it as equals in the future. Li Yingyuan hurriedly started haha.

"That's not bad, why bother to divide the size, it looks rusty. The two of them followed as if nothing was going on.

In the end, Liu Xiang added unwillingly: "In fact, according to seniority, I started working for the English three years ago, and my qualifications are the highest." ”

The two people next door left after saying hello, saying that they would be closer in the future, but Li Yingyuan always felt that the backs of the two people looked a little embarrassed.
