Daming Haikou

Chapter 23 Steering North

The ship became much quieter during the next three days of voyage. Since Feng Baji was killed by Yu Xiaotian, the helmsman Huzi and Li Yanzi on the ship became very honest, and everything followed Yu Xiaotian's instructions. He ordered it to be done, but no one had any opinions on the heading issue, so they all followed Liu Laoliu's direction and slowly headed north towards Funing.

Although there is not much fresh water on board, after the pirates attacked the ship, the number of people on board has also been reduced by half, and the consumption of fresh water has naturally decreased a lot. Before the designated destination, no longer dock to replenish water.

Under his instruction, the people on board also reduced their consumption of fresh water, not to mention washing their faces and feet. Anyway, few people on board are sophisticated people. Although Yu Xiaotian couldn't stand it, he could only overcome it. For a while, just rinse your mouth every day, wipe your face a little and get down.

This kind of life made Yu Xiaotian quite uncomfortable. It seemed that since he could remember, he had never been so dirty. After a few days, his whole body exuded an unpleasant smell, and his body was very smelly and sticky. I was upset, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I splashed sea water up and rinsed it, and the result was a layer of salt frost on my body, which made people feel even more uncomfortable. I just wanted to take a fresh water bath, but in order to save fresh water , he could only sigh in dismay.

Fortunately, God seemed to have sensed Yu Xiaotian's prayer. On the evening of the third day they went north, a heavy rain finally fell on the sea, which made Yu Xiaotian very happy. He rushed to the deck and greeted Liu Tong, Li Yanzi and others hurried out to catch the rain with buckets and wooden basins. While stripping off their clothes, they rushed into the rain and began to accept the gift of nature.

In this era, there are no such things as soap and bath liquid available, but Li Yuzi was very filial and found a few saponins brought by shopkeeper Liu on the boat, and sent them to Yu Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian He took the soap locusts, stood on the deck and washed his whole body with the rainwater, and then used the soap locusts to make foam all over his body. When he was about to wash off the foam on his body, God made another big joke for him. The rain only fell for a few minutes, and then suddenly stopped.

Yu Xiaotian stood naked on the deck, stretched out his hands and raised his head, looking at the sky, his whole body was covered with foam of soap locust, but there was no drop of rain from God.

"**..." Yu Xiaotian really felt like crying without tears, pointing at the sky and almost couldn't help yelling, unlucky can only be so unlucky as him, God actually ordered him to take a quick wash Not even a bath.

Liu Laoliu, Han Xian, and Zhao Si were wounded and couldn't get in the rain, so they all hid in the cabin and stretched their heads to watch. When they saw Yu Xiaotian standing naked on the deck with foam all over his head and body When he had the expression of wanting to cry but no tears, he couldn't help laughing, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Fortunately, Liu Tong and the others moved quickly just now, and they caught some rainwater, which allowed Yu Xiaotian to wipe off the foam on his head and body, and put on his clothes again, but there was no sticky feeling on his body at all. The solution made Yu Xiaotian extremely upset. Seeing Li Yanzi also sniggering, he found fault and scolded Li Yanzi, which made Li Yanzi turn pale from fright. That's all Xiaotian!

Although there is a shortage of fresh water on board, everyone must limit the normal water use to ensure that the normal drinking water of the people on board will not have problems before arriving at the destination, but Yu Xiaotian took special care of the three wounded Liu Lao Liu Han Xian and others. In addition to enough drinking water for them, they also insist on wiping the skin around the wound with boiled and cool fresh water every day to ensure the cleanliness of the wound.

This kind of action made Liu Lao Liu and the other three feel very grateful to Xiaotian. The younger Zhao Si would shed tears almost every day when Xiaotian wiped his wound, and kept giving Xiaotian thank.

Although the injuries of Han Xian and Zhao Si were caused by Yu Xiaotian, both of them are sensible people, knowing that this is no fault of Yu Xiaotian, since Yu Xiaotian's ability to not kill them is considered extrajudicial to them It was a kindness, and now they are still doing their best to heal their injuries. This kind of kindness makes both of them feel that they can't repay them, so they can only secretly make up their minds to do things for Yu Xiaotian after they recover from their injuries.

As for Liu Bentang's distant relative, Liu Tong, since Liu Bentang's death, he seems to have become much more cheerful, and he began to chat with Yu Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu, and from time to time, asked about Xiaotian's previous situation in Australia.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian began to give full play to his potential for fooling around, and began to collect some anecdotes and strange things about him in the old time and space, as well as astronomy and geography. Everyone who was fooled was dizzy, and made a sound of emotion from time to time.

Yu Xiaotian's unintentional conversations with the crowd also gave these people the impression that he was well-informed, especially the two young pirates who had just changed their careers, they admired Xiaotian even more.

Ordinary people in this era, even old sea wolves at sea like Liu Laoliu, have extremely limited eyesight. Their concept of the world is still in a very primitive state, and they don't even know that the world will Being so big, I can't help being fascinated by the Australia Xiaotian mentioned.

Under Yu Xiaotian's careful care, he insisted on wiping their wounds twice a day, changing their dressings, and constantly changing their bandages sterilized with boiling water, so Liu Laoliu and Han Xian's wounds were not infected and inflamed. The wounds gradually began to heal, which made everyone on board admire Xiaotian's "medical skills". You must know that in this era, once people like them are injured, it is very difficult to get them even on land, let alone at sea. Doctor's treatment.

Therefore, ordinary people are injured or sick, and often rely on their own resistance and some earthwork to fight against wounds and diseases. If they are healthy and lucky, they may survive, but people with poor physique and low resistance are very likely to survive. Perhaps because of a small wound, their lives were killed.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian's ability to deal with wounds is very important to them, and it is easy to get people's attention and respect. No one can guarantee that they will not be accidentally injured. After Yu Xiaotian, once they are injured Afterwards, the possibility of survival will be greatly increased, so the other people did not express any dissatisfaction with Xiaotian's behavior of "wasting" fresh water.

But only Zhao Si's wound was not as optimistic as imagined. After he was injured, the wound was a little infected, and it began to become red, swollen and inflamed. There were signs of pus in the wound, and he still had a fever from time to time, and his body looked very weak.

For Zhao Si's situation, under normal circumstances, he would be given up and left to fend for himself. Li Zizi even proposed many times that he should be left alone, let him die, and be thrown into the sea to be pulled down. The province turned back because he then affected the rest of the ship.

Probably because of the connection with fate, Han Xian kept begging Yu Xiaotian not to just give up on Zhao Si, and he also said that he would never let Zhao Si drag everyone down and let him take care of Zhao Si.

Yu Xiaotian saw that Zhao Si was less than [-] years old, and he would be considered a teenager in future generations. Although he was not very optimistic about Zhao Si's injury, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, so he agreed to Han Xian's request, and on the boat Said to the others: "From now on, we are on the same boat, so we have to help each other! You certainly don't want to be abandoned once you get injured. Similarly, Zhao Si definitely doesn't want to die! Can he be well, yes His luck, but I can't just ignore him like this! In the future, Li Yanzi, you don't have to mention Zhao Si's affairs again! All you have to do is cook the rice, boil the water, and clean the bandages!"

Intimidated by Xiaotian's fierceness, Li Yanzi didn't dare to say anything to Xiaotian's words. He could only nod and agree, and didn't dare to say anything more. Yu Xiaotian provided clean and disinfected bandages.

Yu Xiaotian also increased the frequency of cleaning and changing dressings on Zhao Si's wound, and tried his best to keep his wound clean, and gave him physical cooling and nutritional supplements.

Zhao Si was lucky enough to meet Yu Xiaotian this time. Three days later, his wound miraculously began to heal, the pus in the wound also gradually disappeared, and the redness and swelling around the wound also gradually subsided. The high fever he had had for several days began to subside, he became more energetic, and his appetite improved a lot. This situation surprised the people on board. They thought that Zhao Si would definitely die this time. It's settled, unexpectedly, Yu Xiaotian actually "rejuvenated with a wonderful hand", and pulled him back from Lord Yan's place, so everyone dared not underestimate Yu Xiaotian.

And after Zhao Si recovered a little, not to mention his gratitude to Xiaotian, he swore again and again that his life was saved by Yu Xiaotian, and his life will be Yu Xiaotian's from now on. Even if Yu Xiaotian wanted him to die one day, he would not hesitate.

Although Yu Xiaotian doesn't believe that these words are true, but he can also believe that Zhao Si will become his diehard supporter in a short period of time, there is no doubt about it.

Liu Laoliu saw all this in his eyes, and kept nodding secretly in his heart. From his eyes, he could see that by doing what Yu Xiaotian did, he had completely taken Han Xian and Zhao Si for his own use. I am even more impressed by the methods of Xiaotian, a young man.

Since Yu Xiaotian boarded the ship, he couldn't stand the dirty and messy situation on the ship the most. He could bear this kind of thing before. After all, Yu Xiaotian didn't own the ship. God has already regarded this boat as his own, so he can no longer tolerate such mess!

So after killing Feng Baoyu, Yu Xiaotian set new rules on the ship again. The first one pointed to the problem of defecating anywhere on the ship. It is not allowed to defecate on the boat, including the cabin, even if there is no toilet on the boat, all convenience issues must be solved at the stern, and the excrement should be discharged directly into the sea, including getting up at night. , will be severely punished.

In addition, he ordered Feng Baoyu, Hu Cheng, and Liu Tong to start cleaning the cabins of the ship when they were free, and to clean up all the garbage accumulated over the years in the cabins and throw them into the sea, including The hay full of fleas and lice and the clothes of some dead boatmen and other relics, save these things and still breed fleas, lice and mosquitoes in the cabin.

In addition, the people on the ship are generally not allowed to bring food into the cabin, which makes it easier for the rats in the cabin. With the general cleaning at the bottom, the sanitary conditions in the cabin will be greatly improved.

Although Liu Tong and the others have long been used to the mess in the cabin and are a bit confused about Xiaotian's request, Yu Xiaotian explained to them in detail the importance of ship hygiene, as well as fleas, mosquitoes, mice and other things. It will bring harm to the people on board, and to put it bluntly, on their Australian ships, they all do this, and the chances of people on board getting sick will be much lower.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, they heard that it was related to their lives, health and safety, so these people quickly nodded in agreement, and began to follow Yu Xiaotian's orders.

Originally, Yu Xiaotian wanted these people to scrub the plank of the ship and keep it clean, but considering that the manpower on the ship is too tight, they have four able-bodied people and three wounded to control the whole ship. It's not too young, so he gave up for the time being, but he still made up his mind to wait until he landed, and after finding some people to board the boat, he must clean up the boat inside and out, and it will take a long time in the future. In time, he will live on this boat.
