Haidonghang

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.Up to now, the entire moon has been almost covered by the cloud, leaving only a strange halo leaking from the edge of the cloud.

As the sea wind got stronger and stronger, the waves began to clamor.Taking advantage of the wind, the waves rushed straight towards the merchant ship, one wave higher than the other.Like thousands of unbridled horses, and like countless roaring dragons.The entire hull also shook violently.It looked like a storm was coming.The boat passengers who were enjoying the cool air on the deck just now hurried back to the boathouse when they saw this.Only Zhu Yunqi was left alone, holding the rail of the boat and staring straight at the sky.

Sure enough, in an instant, the dark clouds continued to roll, the thunder rumbled, and the wind became even worse.There are lightning flashes on the edge of the black cloud, and there is a chilling scene between the sea and the sky.After a short while, the night sky seemed to be torn open countless holes, and the torrential rain directly merged into a waterfall, pouring down from top to bottom.

Zhu Yunwen didn't mean to avoid it at all.Instead, he opened his arms and let the heavy rain fall on him.The dazzling electric light, accompanied by the sound of explosions, illuminated the sea and the sky.

At this time, Zhu Yunqi roared in his heart: God, if this is the suffering you caused me, I advise you to kill me with a lightning strike today.Otherwise, from today onwards, I will no longer believe in you.If it is said that my previous days were determined by you.Then my future destiny will be in my own hands.Even if everything is fate, I will go against the sky and change my fate, my fate is up to me!

The rainstorm came and went quickly.Although there were three thunderstorms during this period, the thunder and lightning did not hit Zhu Yunqi.Soon after the rain stopped, he walked back to his room.

When Zhu Yunwen walked back to his room drenched, the man in the same room in green robe turned pale with shock.He always thought that Zhu Yunwen went to the toilet, but he didn't expect Zhu Yunwen to be in such a mess in such a short time.

"Brother, what's the matter with you. Come on, I have clean clothes here, change quickly." The green-robed man took out a set of clean clothes from his carry-on luggage and handed them to Zhu Yunqi.

This time Zhu Yunqi did not refuse.So he took off his wet clothes and put on clean clothes.

After changing his clothes, Zhu Yunwen cupped his fists to apologize to the man in green robe and said: "The younger brother has been negligent these days, just because of the tragedy at home, he is depressed, I hope you can forgive me."

"Brother, you're being polite." The green-robed man also clasped his fists to return the salute to Zhu Yunqi.

After experiencing the baptism of the torrential rain just now, Zhu Yunqi's entire outlook on life, world outlook and values ​​have changed.From then on, in his heart, there is nothing else, all the loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, all the propriety, justice and shame have all become worthless to him.The only thing left in his heart is revenge.If you tell him that taking his life can help him take revenge, he will definitely plunge the knife into his chest without hesitation.So, from now on, he decided to make full use of all available people and things around him.And his intuition told him that the man in green robe in front of him was someone who could be used.

Since then, Zhu Yunqi and the green-robed man have become acquainted.From the mouth of the man in green robe, Zhu Yunqi also roughly figured out his origin.

The man in the green robe is named Jin Shihou, one year older than Zhu Yunwen.As Zhu Yunwen expected, he is not a Han, but a Korean.Jin Shihou's father was originally an ordinary farmer born in the Goryeo period.Back then, due to Li Chenggui's mutiny, wars raged in North Korea.In order to escape the war, his family moved to live along the coast of Daming.

When Jin Shihou was a little longer, he started a trade business between the two countries, because he was quick-witted and sincere.His foreign trade business has become more and more successful.Later, he expanded his business territory to all walks of life and became a wealthy businessman beyond rivals.What Zhu Yunwen didn't expect was that even Jin Shihou was the boss behind the Zhenbao Zhai where he and Queen Ma met.

The purpose of Jin Shihou's trip to North Korea this time was not to do business, but to take his fiancée's family to Daming.He is not familiar with this fiancée, Jin Shihou, but only knows that her name is Cui Encai.This marriage was a child marriage arranged by the parents of both parties. Cui Encai's family was next to the Jin family at that time.

However, due to the war, the two families were separated.Although Jin Shihou's father had inquired about Cui's family in many ways, but he couldn't visit him all the time.It was not until recently that Father Jin received a letter from the Cui family to the Ming Dynasty.After learning about their father and daughter, Kim's father asked Kim Shihou to go to North Korea to pick them up.Jin Shihou is a gentle and filial person, although this marriage was arranged by the elders of both parties, even though he doesn't even know what this fiancée looks like now.After listening to his father's words, Kim Shihou set off for North Korea without saying a word.

Others have told me about their family background, so of course I can't say nothing.Therefore, Zhu Yunwen also made up his past and told Jin Shihou.Zhu Yunwen claimed that he was doing some small businesses, and later in a transaction, a North Korean businessman cheated him of all his savings.The purpose of his trip to North Korea this time is to find the businessman and get back the money he was cheated of.

When Jin Shihou asked Zhu Yunwen's name, Jin An, Jin Shihou's entourage, just brought them fragrant pears. Looking at the fragrant pears in Jin An's hands, Zhu Yunwen suddenly had an idea, "My name is Li Sui. Muzi Li, Suiyuan's .”

In this way, from now on, there is one less Zhu Yunqi in this world, and one more Li Sui.

On this day, Jin Shihou suddenly felt dizzy, his limbs were weak, and his hands and feet were cold.Seeing that his master was sick, Jin An immediately called the ship's doctor.Since it takes several months to travel by sea from Daming to North Korea, it is common for guests to get sick during the period.So there are two ship doctors on this merchant ship.As long as it is not an intractable disease, they can solve all minor diseases.Of course, medical treatment also requires money.However, money has never been a problem for Jin Shihou.

After diagnosis and treatment by the ship's doctor, it was found that Jin Shihou had "wind and cold entering the body." Originally, typhoid fever was not a serious illness, and it was enough to cook a few medicines.But when the ship's doctor dispensed Jin Shihou's medicine again, he found that the amount of ephedra was not enough.The remaining ephedra is only enough to make a medicine.But to treat Jin Shihou's wind and cold, at least three doses are needed.

There was no other way, Jin An had no choice but to take a pair of medicines to decoct for Jin Shihou, it was better than nothing.Now we can only hope that after Jin Shihou takes this medicine, his illness will be cured.

But things often backfired. After taking that dose of medicine, although Jin Shihou's condition improved for a short time.However, because there was no medicine to consolidate the curative effect, Jin Shihou's condition worsened again at noon the next day, and he couldn't even use the energy to eat.Jin An was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.Although Jin An and Jin Shihou are masters and servants, their relationship has always been good.

But no matter how anxious Jin An is, it's useless, if there is nothing, there is nothing. In 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 fully prepared, and without medicine, his illness would not be cured.

"Fengchi?" At this moment, Li Sui seemed to have thought of something, and quickly opened the bag he was carrying.He rummaged through the bottles and jars.For malaria, for diarrhea, for wounds... Finally, he found a bottle among these medicine bottles, which said "for typhoid fever".These medicines were found by Li Sui in the wooden box Zhu Yuanzhang left for him. He thought that he might need medicines for his upcoming journey, so he did not give these medicines to Cheng Ji, but took them with him.Even if Zhu Wenkui got sick in the future, and he left so many banknotes for them, all he had to do was find a doctor.

Li entourage poured two dark yellow pills out of the bottle, and was about to take it for Jin Shihou, but at this moment Jin An stopped him.

"What is this?" Jin An asked cautiously.

"Treatise medicine."

"Where did it come from?"

"It was given by someone else."

"You haven't eaten."

"I haven't eaten."

"You dare to give it to my master before you have eaten it. What if something goes wrong with it?" Jin An has disliked Li Sui since the first day he met him, and naturally he will not believe it easily now. he.

"My medicine is fine. If you don't believe me, you can call the ship's doctor to come over and have a look."

At this time, just yesterday the ship doctor came in for a follow-up consultation. If he really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao would be there.

"Doctor, please take a look at this elixir, is it for treating typhoid fever?" At this time, Jin An took the elixir from Li Sui just now.

"You said this is a elixir for treating typhoid fever?" Hearing Jin An's words, the ship's doctor was very surprised.

This was the first time that the ship's doctor had heard that pills could also treat typhoid fever.Since ancient times, when doctors saw a doctor, they would grab a few medicinal herbs, decoct them in a medicine pot, and then give them to the patients.The refining of elixir is generally done by Taoist warlocks. Their purpose is very simple, to find the secret of immortality.

As for using elixir to treat diseases, the ship doctor had never heard of it before, and had never seen it before.This can't be blamed on him. Since ancient times, practicing medicine has been based on what is recorded in medical books.And medical books will not talk about the method of refining pills.This is one of them.

The second is that refining elixir has very strict requirements on raw materials and the required elixir furnace.Even if they have mastered the art of refining pills, ordinary people can't gather other things they need.Therefore, folk doctors will definitely not refine elixir to treat patients.

The imperial hospital is different. In order to solve the problem that the medicinal materials are not convenient to carry, the imperial physicians imitated the Taoist alchemy technique and put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace to make medicinal pills. After many attempts, they finally mastered the accurate temperature.Since then, it has become common practice for the imperial hospital to refine elixirs. Of course, common people do not know about these inner palace matters.

"It's his, and it says it can cure wind and cold. I dare not be careless, so I asked the doctor to see if there is any problem with this elixir?" Jin An pointed to Li Sui and said to the ship's doctor.

"There are ephedra, cinnamon twigs, and Gentiana in it...these are indeed used to treat typhoid fever. But I can't tell how many herbs are in it. So, I'm not sure if there is something wrong with this elixir." The ship doctor took the pill to his nose and sniffed it, then frowned and said to Jin An.

"Did you hear that? You'd better take this medicine away, I don't dare to risk my master's life."

"I can guarantee that my medicine will be fine."

"You promise? What guarantee do you take?"

……

Just like that, the two started arguing.

"Okay... that's it, don't... quarrel.... Give me... the medicine. I... believe... Brother Li." Jin Shihou, who was lying on the bed, heard the conversation between the two, and said to him in a weak tone. The two said.

"But..." Jin An wanted to say something else.

"You... don't tell me...you don't even listen to my words...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 pass the elixir to Jin Shihou. After taking the elixir, Jin Shihou lay down and rested again.

After taking the elixir for three consecutive days, Jin Shihou's illness was cured.During this time, Li Sui and Jin An have been taking care of Jin Shihou.But no one expected that when Jin Shihou recovered from his illness, Li Sui contracted the cold again.

Fortunately, after only one day, Li Sui recovered from his illness.Jin Shihou was greatly moved by Li Sui's actions these days, and proposed to become brothers with different surnames with Li Sui.

Jin Shihou called Chuan Xiaoer to prepare cattle and sheep. The two drank wine and burned incense to worship the heaven and the earth.Because Jin Shihou was one year older than Li Sui, Jin Shihou was the elder brother and Li Sui the younger brother.

"Big brother."

"Second brother." Jin Shihou helped Li Sui up.

At this time, the corner of Li Sui's mouth raised a strange amount, revealing an imperceptible smile.Everything was moving in the direction I expected, and it was not in vain that I specially bathed in cold water for half an hour.
