84th bowl of soup (7)

Their journey has been calm and calm, until one day Lance suddenly came back from an injury. That day it was his turn to buy daily necessities. Joe should have gone with him, but on the street I met a woman holding a child and kneeling in front of the pharmacy asking the boss for help. As a doctor, Joe naturally couldn't be saved. They've done so many times for buying alone, but what he didn't expect was that when he got back on the boat, Lance hadn't come back yet!

Just when they were about to disembark and look for it, Lance came back. His face was flushed and he was breathing quickly, his right hand was pressed tightly on his abdomen, and his white shirt was covered with blood, which turned out to be seriously injured. After Joe checked, he found that neither the wound nor the amount of bleeding was a problem. The biggest problem was that Lance was poisoned. The weapon that wounded him was poisoned, and it must be detoxified immediately, otherwise the body and limbs will be paralyzed and the whole person will be abolished after a long time!

However, the medical equipment on the ship is not enough for surgery-most importantly, they lack the detoxification medicine.

This medicine is called blue leaf flower, and it is only available in the Kongsi Empire far away from here.

That's Nick's homeland, and it's also the place he hasn't been back in ten years after escaping.

Qinghuan doesn't know what happened in the past. All she knows is that Nick is a traitor who is a collaborator and traitor. The people of the Kingdom of Constance once admired and admired him, and now they hate and hate him. Nick’s wanted warrants are all over the streets and alleys. If they go to the Kingdom of Constance, they will definitely land. The kingdom’s guards are very strict. Although there are no requirements for foreign ships to dock, they must be carefully inspected.

But blue-leaf flowers can only be found on a spring-like mountain outside the capital of the Empire of Constance. And if this kind of words is picked, there is still a flowering period, and it will wither within three days. If you have to wait outside the Constance Empire, rush from the border to the capital, pick blue-leaf flowers and then come back, there will be insufficient time to go back and forth. In that case, even if Lance were alive, he would be completely useless.

Qinghuan sat on the edge of the bed, changing Lance's soaked towel time and time again, while Joe was dealing with the wound on his abdomen. Owen and Nick were arguing on the side: "Are you crazy? Go back to that place," Are you going to die?"

"Well-winded, I am the captain and I have the final say."

"You want to die and don't drag us down!" Owen said angrily without the usual smile on his face, "If you are found, we can't escape, can't you listen to others?"

Nick opened his hand and walked to the bed: "How is Lance?"

"It won't be life-threatening for the time being. But we don't have much time. Ten days, at most ten days, if the blue leaf flower is not available within ten days, he will..." Joe didn't say the rest, but everyone understood. The atmosphere in the cabin was dignified, and they were happy when they landed in the morning. Who knew it would be like this when they came back. "Nick, I think Owen is right. You can't go, let's go. You are waiting outside the borders of the Empire of Constance to pick us up. The blue leaf flower is the national flower of the Empire of Constance. It is very precious. If you also appear, you will Very troublesome."

Nick pursed his thin lips and said nothing, Qinghuan noticed the slight whiteness of the knuckles of his fingers holding the handle of the knife. One can imagine the pain and depression deep in his heart. For Nick, that should be a very reluctant past. "Everyone, let's go together."

"Miss Qinghuan?" Owen shouted in shock, "If Nick goes--"

"It could have killed Lance, right?" Qing Huan pointed to the wound on Lance's body, "Joe said that the other party should have deliberately avoided the vital point."

"what do you mean……"

"I've read several medical books by Joe, and they said that when they mentioned blue leaf flowers, the leaves are highly poisonous, and the petals can detoxify. Since blue leaf flowers are unique plants of the Kongs Empire, the poison in Lance It must be from the Empire of Constance." She looked at Nick, and he stared at Lance, who was unconscious on the bed, with deep eyes. "They should be trying to force Nick to return home."

"Then it can't be what they want!" Owen said in a deep voice, "Even if Miss Qinghuan said it, I can't agree to let Nick return to China!"

"He must go back." Qing Huan said calmly, "If he doesn't go back, Lance will die."

Nick said flatly: "It's been over for so many years. I don't die so easily. Don't worry, we will change course now." Then he said to Qinghuan, "I'm sorry, but I might have to send you home. It's been a while."

"It's okay." Qing Huan smiled, "I want you to take me home together, none of whom can be less."

Owen had to object again, Qing Huan took the initiative to hold his hand, and he was suddenly limp, looking at Qing Huan eagerly, forgetting all principles and persistence. Qing Huan kissed him affectionately on the cheek, and said softly: "This is the captain's business. Let the captain decide for himself, okay."

Owen’s bones are crisp: "Okay~~~"

Joe: "..." What's the point of your previous persistence? !

"Then it's settled. First, we will change our course to the Empire of Constance. After picking the blue-leaf flowers, we will cure Lance, and then we will go to the east together." Qinghuan took the towel on Lance's forehead to wash and wringed it dry Cover it again with a gentle smile: "I don't want this trip to end so soon."

Everyone looked at Nick. Nick took a few steps back as they watched, sweating in cold sweat: "What...what!"

Owen laughed: "Master Captain, we have been sailing together in this sea for ten years. You know everything about us. Now should you tell us your story? I don't believe in any nonsense about betraying the motherland and assassinating the emperor. ."

Anyone can do such a thing, but Nick definitely won't. Even if Owen thinks Nick looks very an eye-catching, lazy and sleepy, grumpy and unflattering, but this guy is a real good guy.

Nick's Adam's apple rolled twice: "...this matter is a long story."

"Then make a long story short, tell us, anyway, let us have a secret. At the beginning, Joe said you were going to die when you met you, so why are people from the Empire of Constance still looking for you?" Understand, to deal with a traitor who assassinated the emperor, of course he should kill Nick, but that's not the case, right? Wanted warrants can be issued, and guards who are hunting down can be dispatched as usual, but this kind of unstoppable gesture is not like a just sanction, but rather like... the silence of a guilty conscience.

Nick was so annoyed by them that he had no choice but to tell his story concisely. After listening, everyone was stunned, and Owen looked at him with a change of respect: "...Unexpectedly, our Master Captain is not only a good guy, but a bad guy..." Can he tolerate that kind of thing? Still walking away in silence? ! In other words, he hacked the opponent to death long ago!

Nick said impatiently: "I said it is a thing of the past, I don't want to mention it again."

Qing Huan had also imagined many possibilities, but really didn't expect the truth to be like this. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "Nick is such a...great person."

Nick became angered by their teasing, "Furthermore, Lao Tzu killed you!"

"Ha?! Cut us?! Including Miss Qinghuan?" Owen suddenly furious, "Is this the attitude of being a gentleman? Nick, you stupid dare to talk to Miss Qinghuan like this, I can't spare you!"

It didn't take long for the two people to fight as usual. Joe couldn't bear to throw two scalpels into the battle, and then Nick and Owen stopped in shock, one on the head. Qinghuan pursed her mouth and smirked, and from the corner of her eyes saw Lance opened his eyes: "Lance! You are awake!"

After she got off the fight, she didn’t fight and didn’t give any training. For a few seconds after she was sober, Lance didn’t realize where she was. He sighed sadly until he saw the familiar big faces approaching him: "... you guys."

? ? ? ? ?

What is this reaction? ? ?

"Hey." Lance sighed again, "I'm hurt somehow... You can rest assured, it's annoying idiots to death."

"Lance, how are you feeling? Does the wound hurt? Will you be hungry? Do you want to drink water?"

When facing Qinghuan, Lance's disgust instantly turned into a smile: "Ah, Miss Qinghuan, I am indeed a little thirsty...please give me a glass of water."

Qiao helped him up, Qinghuan held a water glass and fed him water. Owen, who was watching, tightened his handkerchief with envy and jealousy, "Damn! I also want to... be fed water like that by Miss Qinghuan!" What is hateful is that Miss Qinghuan even held the guy Lance's shoulder with one hand!

After a glass of water went down, Lance felt that his throat had improved, and then said annoyed: "It's careless.

It turned out that after he separated from Qiao, he met an old man who was beaten with a child. There was a crowd of people in the vegetable market, but there were many people watching. After Lance stopped the violent person, he was about to help the old man up, but the other party drew out a dagger to stab him in a thunderous manner, and at the same time the child who had been crying hugged him tightly. After all he could not kill the child, so he could only leave in a hurry. On the way, he felt dizzy and hot and confused. He only vaguely remembered that he was back on the boat, and then he didn't remember anything.

He had heard all the conversation between Nick and the others just now, but his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and he was much better now. Lance said optimistically: "At least there is a way to detoxify. Even if you can't solve it, you won't die. Then I will have to trouble you to take care of me for the rest of my life."

Nick sneered: "Who has to take care of you in such a big trouble."

"That is, do you want Miss Qing Huan to hold you and feed you water and rice and twist the towel? It's beautiful!" Owen stared at him.

Joe also smiled and refused: "Sorry, I don't want to have a patient that I can't cure."

They talked with each other, and Qinghuan kept laughing with one hand on his chin.

What a group of... gentle people.
