The strongest plug-in to be reborn as a male protagonist

As the sky was getting dark, a large ship sailed towards the wind, and soon it docked at the pier with its sails down. The people on board were still showing their heads, and the porters and food sellers on the pier swarmed up.

"My lord, I have a lot of strength. Do you want to unload the goods? Hire a young man. It only costs five yuan to transport two miles with a load of goods!"

"Guest officer, do you want to stay? We have mules and horse-drawn carts to load the goods, which is more convenient than manpower. It only takes a mere one or two taels of silver to stay in the hotel for three days!"

"My lord, would you like cakes, fruits and roast goose?"

The ladder on the boat was lowered, and Chu Ci took Zhong Lixuan down from the boat.

Chu Ci was dressed as a martial artist, and Zhong Lixuan followed behind him. Both of them were wearing veiled hats. Zhong Lixuan was a little surprised to see the completely different scenery from Shanyang Ridge after going ashore, but after looking around, he was a little disappointed.

Two hundred miles to the south from here, you can reach the boundary of the capital city. However, this place is not even as prosperous as Shanyangling. Most of the people passing by are wearing bunts and shirtless. dishes.

It turned out that not far from the foot of the imperial city, the people were in dire straits. This once again proved what Yelusu said earlier was true—Yuan Xu was riddled with holes.

Zhong Lixuan felt worried, and couldn't help muttering: "I thought that the closer to the capital city, the flowers would be like brocades. It turns out that the books are all lies."

"It's true that the imperial city is prosperous, but it's not an imperial city after all, it's just a seaport under the jurisdiction of the capital. It was busier than the capital many years ago, but since wars broke out frequently and pirates ran rampant, the seaport gradually became deserted, and this place quickly declined. Come down." Chu Ci looked around and said.

The climate here is pleasant and the products are rich. In addition, since ancient times, the seaport has been a necessary place for China Unicom to connect overseas. If you want to come to Yuanxu's national power and prosperity, this place must be very lively.

It's a pity that years of turmoil and people's livelihood have declined, and yesterday's prosperity is finally gone.

Chu Ci looked at the dignified faces of the people who came and went, he sighed, called a porter over and asked something, paid the old porter a few pennies and asked the man to lead them around, casually Chat with local residents for a while, from prices to sea weather, and from sea waves to new government orders, you can chat about any topic.

Zhong Lixuan followed Chu Ci step by step, watching Chu Ci use this local dialect to talk to local old people and beggars. He was obviously a complete stranger, but Chu Ci had a unique skill of being able to do as the Romans did, and soon Integrating into a completely unfamiliar place, he was also regarded by the locals as a returning businessman.

After chatting for a while, Chu Ci bought some fruit and food and more than a dozen barrels of water, and shouted to the boat, Yelusu, who stayed on the boat, put down the barrels and hoisted the water up bucket by bucket.

After the food and water were hoisted up, Chu Ci paid the money, and then chatted with the old man who delivered the goods about the tourists who had recently landed by boat. None of the ships were in danger. Two days ago, a fleet of ships came from the sea, and several ships of that size still encountered pirates and injured many people!"

"Sea bandits?" Chu Ci was curious when he heard the words. It was the rainy season these few months, and there were not many people going to sea, and the sea bandits also came to the shore to rest.They did not encounter bandits along the way.If a foreigner who arrived here two days ago is in danger, it is likely that he returned from the distant sea.

The old man who led the way knocked the cigarette rod in his hand a few times, crushed a piece of dead leaf on the side of the road and put it in the pipe, took a sip and coughed, and said, "Yes, it's all caused by pirates. Life is not easy, how many people have become bandits and robbers, the robbers will go to the sea to rob when they have a ship, and the barbarians from the surrounding small countries will also take advantage of the fire to rob, it is really harmful."

"What I'm saying is, if there were no pirates, this place would be much more secure." Chu Ci echoed.

The old man nodded: "Who said it wasn't! We dare not go to sea, and our way of life is almost gone. I didn't expect that even such a large fleet, with so many guards, would not be safe when it encountered pirates. There are quite a few people suffering from sepsis, and no inn dares to take them in, that’s a lot of lives.”

"Are you suffering from sepsis?" Chu Ci asked in surprise.

Sepsis is septicemia. In ancient times, septicemia and scurvy were often confused together because they were blood diseases. Chu Ci guessed that what this person mentioned was not septicemia, but most likely the disease of navigation—scurvy.

In ancient times, communication was underdeveloped. People in inland areas would most likely suffer from scurvy due to ignorance and insufficient preparation, and lack of vitamins after sailing at sea. If there are few vegetables or fruits, at worst, a lot of dried vegetables should be brought, so the probability of scurvy attack is not high. "Yeah, it turned out to be sepsis. The sickest one was the old man. Thanks to the filial piety of the old man's son, he spent a lot of money to buy an inn to house the wounded. Those young people could be saved if they were lucky, but that The old man looks like a literati, older than our old man... Tsk tsk, he went to sea at such a young age, and suffered such crimes. He said he was a person from the capital, and he only had one breath left. If he can't return to the capital this time, he will die Even if the lights go out, you will become a lonely ghost!"

Zhong Lixuan couldn't help looking at the old man when he heard the words. People who worked as coolies on the pier generally looked older, and this man's appearance and voice were only in his early fifties, and he was older than the old man's father...

I'm afraid I'm over seventy, right?

People who are still at sea at the age of seventy...

Something flashed through Chu Ci's mind for a moment, and he searched his memory carefully, but he couldn't remember anything related to this incident that happened before his rebirth.His memory has always been good, and the reason why he forgot it was probably because the information was useless after only hearing it for one ear, or the information was simply mentioned in the background of the novel he read before traveling, but there is no doubt that this The information will be kept in the subconscious, definitely because of the special status of this old man.

Chu Ci held Zhong Lixuan's hand: "Let's go and have a look."

"Are you going to see someone with sepsis? Oh, bad luck, sepsis is contagious!" The old man who led the way was shocked when he heard this. After the epidemic, people with sepsis who go to sea will be isolated and left to fend for themselves. This is why no inn is willing to take in people with sepsis even if the people in the fleet pay high prices.

"I'll add money, just take me to that inn."

Chu Ci added ten Wen, the old man counted the number, and then said: "Okay, it's agreed, I'm only responsible for taking you to the alley in front of the inn, and I won't go any further. There are young and old, if you contract sepsis, it will not work!"

"Sepsis is not contagious, and it can be prevented by eating more fruits and vegetables, and it can also be prevented by eating some fish offal." Chu Ci saw that the old man was extremely shy, and reminded him.

"Hey, you know how to do it. The old men told me so when I went to sea in the early years." The old man laughed dryly, but he still didn't dare to approach the inn where the patients with sepsis lived. He stood in the distance and pointed in the direction. After Chu Ci finished thanking him, he left in a hurry.

Zhong Lixuan saw the man running away, and asked curiously, "What is sepsis?"

Chuci took off his hood and rubbed Zhong Lixuan's head: "Sepsis is a disease in which the blood is contaminated. After a person is injured, the blood enters dirty things, and acid like milk is produced inside, which cuts the skin. It can be seen that the blood turns white, as if turning into pus, so it is called sepsis.

"There is another disease, similar to sepsis, but easier to treat than sepsis. It is called scurvy. If people do not eat fruits and vegetables for a long time, their bodies will swell and bleed, and they will become dizzy and weak. If it is serious, it will die. Returning back means that those patients have been prepared for a long time, and it is likely that the storm at sea caused a shortage of food, and the symptoms of scurvy appeared because of insufficient fruits and vegetables. Let's go and see."

Zhong Lixuan also lifted the veiled hat, and the two stepped forward and knocked on the door of the inn.

After knocking a few times, the door opened, and a young servant Bingzhu stepped forward to open the door and looked over vigilantly. After seeing clearly that there were two handsome teenagers standing at the door, the servant quickly glanced at the clothes of the two, and his expression changed slightly. Change: "The two of you came from the capital to stay here? I'm sorry, this inn is booked by us to recuperate. There are disease patients in the inn. You should go to another place to stay."

After finishing speaking, the young man was about to close the door, Chu Ci raised his hand to support the door, and explained: "We came from the north, and we just heard that someone here has sepsis, and happened to learn a prescription for treating sepsis when we were traveling. I went to the door to see if I could do my best."

"This..." The boy was doubtful, he signaled the two to wait, and said politely, "Thank you, but in order to prevent the infection of sepsis, I need to ask my young master for instructions, please wait a moment."

"It doesn't matter." Chuci saw that the servant was also a scholar, but he was extremely vigilant, and he became more and more curious about this Lu Guiren who had bought an entire inn with arrogance.

The young man went upstairs holding the candle, and seeing the haggard middle-aged man said: "Master, there are two people..."

The middle-aged man was overjoyed at first when he heard the words, but when he thought of the many doctors who had been invited these days, he became worried again. After a while, he heard the servant say that the two young and noble youths who came to ask for an audience were as dark as a pot. .

"What kind of disease can two yellow-haired children cure! They are well dressed and full of luxury, so they are from the capital... No, the son of Dongfang Ya and Huangfu Zhengzheng is not a boy..." The middle-aged man stood with hidden worries. When he got up, he wandered around the room, just raised his hand and said, "No see..."

At this moment, the blue-white old man lying on the bed moved his eyelids when he heard the names of the emperor and empress, and his lips opened and closed as if to say something. : "Daddy, how are you, Daddy? Wake up, Daddy!"

The old man remained silent.

The middle-aged man's face was pale, he looked at the dying old man, his lips trembled for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There is no way, even if you really came from the capital to take my father and son back..."

Hearing this, the young fellow also had a worried look on his face, and he comforted the man, "Master, I see those two people have pure eyes, they don't look like villains, maybe it's because the Lord is lucky, God has shown mercy."

The middle-aged man slapped the table fiercely when he heard the words: "God is never merciful. If God has eyes, why did we fall into this situation! Well, I hope there is a glimmer of life, please invite the two of them in." "

A moment later, the servant respectfully brought Chu Ci and Zhong Lixuan in. The middle-aged man with a square face saw the disappointment in the eyes of the two young men, but there was no contempt on his face, and he walked forward He saluted and said, "I heard that the two of you can cure sepsis?"

"Yes." Chu Ci nodded, and while answering, he stepped forward to check on the unconscious old man. He saw the blood vessels on the old man's face were swollen, his complexion was pale, but now he was dark green. After picking up the old man's hand and feeling his pulse for a while, his expression turned serious.

"I can save sepsis, but this old man didn't suffer from sepsis. It's clearly a mental depression trapped in a nightmare, and he fell into a coma after being weak. I can't heal heart disease."
