Zhenjin's defense of the big man did not damage his prestige.
Maybe others don't understand, but they still admire and respect Acupuncture more.
Zhenjin is a knight of the gods, with the strongest personal combat power. He is also a Templar, heir to the Baizhen family, and the future Lord of Baisha City. He also has a group of followers who always surround him. At the same time, he is the most capable.
Competitor Zong Ge also expressed his compliance. Zhong Jin's leadership position was unbreakable.
After expressing condolences to the wounded, Zhenjin received a large number of words of gratitude.
It is the big man that people hate and are wary of, not the needle gold. In fact, it is not the needle gold that knocks out the big man, they will be more dangerous.
It was Zhenjin who saved them.
If the big man is an unforgivable murderer, maybe someone can still question Zhen Jin. Is this the justice of a Templar knight?
But the big man is ill. And this illness has been around for a long time. The shipbuilder didn't hide it, he had already said it.
Despite everyone's mentality, after expressing his condolences, Zhen Jin privately ordered Xi Suo to arrange to pick up some crew members, take the initiative to communicate with the wounded, and provide guidance to a certain extent.
"Speaking of which, it's a good reason to go crazy and warn." Zhen Jin pointed at Xixu, "I don't need you to lie. This will lead to loopholes and make things wrong. Just let the crew members who have been with the big man for a long time tell the truth.
.”
"I understand. Sir, I promise to complete this task!"
Xinsuo was very excited. Speaking of which, he had already joined Zhenjin, but there was no chance for him to perform.
In terms of force, he is not as good as Zong Ge, and in terms of loyalty, he is not as good as Lan Zhao and Bai Ya. He does not have Cang Xu's wisdom, nor does Zidi's ability to prepare medicine.
Xisuo felt a lot of pressure in his heart. He wanted to stand out, but was concealed by the people around him.
For the first time, Zhen Jin arranged a task for Xisuo.
"This is private work!" Xisuo was excited. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have found a way out.
"Yes, I can do some private and dirty work for adults. Why didn't I think of that before?"
"Even if you are a Templar, you abide by the knight's way, and your heart is bright. But there will always be some things that are inconvenient for you to do yourself, such as this kind of thing."
For most people, a big man's illness is a bad thing with serious consequences. But for Xiao Suo, it has become an opportunity for him.
"This is a good thing, it will allow me to deepen Master Zhenjin's impression of me. I must handle this matter well!" Xiao Suo was fierce in himself and took active action.
On Zhenjin's side, after being interrupted by the big man's illness, he became even more unable to tell his secret to Zidi.
The days seemed to have gone back to before. Every night he trained hard, spent the first half of the day catching up on sleep, and the second half of the day took charge of clearing the herd.
Every time he successfully hunts and brings back prey, he can continuously strengthen his authority and status.
He constantly reminded everyone that he was a powerful leader in his own right, and put an end to any thought of offense.
At the same time, he also quietly increased his vigilance. After all, there are warning signs for big men getting sick.
But after that, no disaster happened.
And almost every time after dinner, Zhen Jin would go to visit the wounded and ask questions, and sometimes bring medicines.
The potions were made by Zidi and distributed by Zhenjin himself.
This act of distributing medicine may seem small, but it actually has profound meaning.
The wounded are in urgent need of medicines, and in the entire camp, it seems that only Zhenjin can distribute medicines. According to the words of the Eastern Empire, this is called providing help in times of need, and people are in urgent need.
A small potion, after the needle gold is distributed, can exert a value beyond itself.
However, without the big man, the efficiency of shipbuilding dropped a lot.
As Cang Xu said, big men play a decisive role in work.
Almost a week later, Zhen Jin came to the thatched hut on the hillside again and discussed with the boatman about letting the big man resume work.
The shipwright did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
Because he has seen clearly these days that Zhenjin's continuous condolences have eliminated the grief and anger of the wounded. Behind the actions of the crew such as Xinsuo, there is also the shadow of Zhenjin.
"Sir, you are a wise leader." The shipwright was very happy to surrender to Zhen Jin at this moment.
Once, when he woke up in the camp, he heard that Zhenjin had taken over Zongge. Sandao and his group were very worried, thinking that Zhenjin might be too young.
Along the way, the shipwright's view of gold needles has been greatly changed.
By now, the shipwright had fully realized that although the knight in front of him was a young man, he was by no means just a simple believer. He upheld the ways of a knight, but at the same time he was worthy of his noble status and bloodline. He had profound tactics.
means.
"You have to continue tomorrow and work hard. What do you do when someone scolds you?" the shipwright asked the big man in front of Zhen Jin.
"Just pretend you can't hear it," the big man replied.
"Are we going to hit you?" the boatman asked again.
"If it doesn't hurt, like throwing stones at me, I won't scream. If it hurts, I will scream. If someone hurts me and makes me bleed, I will call daddy." The big man answered smoothly.
The shipwright nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Jin Guan: "Sir, the big man has been prepared for a long time. In fact, he is not stupid, and he knows how to deal with him. In fact, I have already taken care of him.
.You can rest assured!”
Zhenjin stared at the big man in the hay shed.
The latter was clearly huge, but at the moment he was lying on the grass bunk, curled up in a ball.
It can be heard that the shipbuilder has been educating him a lot these days.
At the same time, Zhen Jin could easily deduce that the big man's life in the Pig's Kiss was filled with rejection and disgust. He was often insulted and even beaten. Most sailors had bad tempers and would throw objects at the big man.
Definitely indispensable.
And if the big man doesn't feel pain, he won't scream.
He has only two weapons of resistance.
One is shouting.
One is to call daddy...
The big man huddled up in the thatched bunk was the same as before: disheveled hair, yellow teeth, and ugly appearance. Even if you look closely, you can see that he has a big head and a small body, and is somewhat deformed. It seems that he has been used to bending down and shrinking his head after living on the ship for a long time.
He also seemed to be afraid of Zhenjin, as he avoided his eyes and shrank his hands and feet.
Based on this appearance alone, the big man is very unpleasant and even disgusting.
This is all human nature.
But now, when Zhen Jin heard this and saw this, her emotions were very complicated.
He felt very uncomfortable.
Besides pity, there was something else blocking his heart, making him want to express it but unable to express it.
Make him panic.
In the next few days, Zhen Jin paid close attention to the big man.
Nothing unexpected happened.
The big man restrained himself very well and took the initiative to give way. When someone came slightly closer to him, he quickly shrank into a corner.
His huge body was a bit funny when curled up. Many people couldn't help but laugh and their mood gradually relaxed.
Observing these, Zhenjin couldn't laugh.
Instead, his heart became heavier and heavier.
As if he had received the boatman's advice, the big man worked even harder.
With the big man's participation, all aspects of shipbuilding work have progressed by leaps and bounds.
On this day, the weather was sunny.
Everyone was almost gathered together, and an important work was being carried out in the open space of the small valley.
"Yes, that's it. Slowly, insert the mast into the square hole." the boatman instructed.
"Be sure to go slower." The boatman warned again worriedly.
The big man looked very serious after his father's instructions. He carefully placed the mast in the hole in the keel.
"Very good!" the boatman was overjoyed and praised.
The mast must be fixed on the keel. Only in this way can the most stable mast be obtained. If it is simply placed on the deck, after the mast is spread out, it will often be torn off by the wind and even endanger the entire ship.
The first mast has been inserted. According to the ship design, this is the front mast.
"Okay, next is the mizzen mast. Huh?" The boatman looked up and found that the big man had become strangely silent. It was suddenly very unusual.
He lowered his head, still holding on to the foremast with his hand, and his whole body remained motionless.
Zhen Jin immediately narrowed his eyes, and a faint warning sign arose in his heart.
The boatman shouted several times, but the big man didn't answer.
His expression also became frightened.
The big man began to pant heavily, like a tired old cow. He bared his teeth and his eyes became increasingly red.
"Damn it!" When the boatman saw this scene, his heart immediately sank to the bottom, but he never gave up and still yelled, "Calm down, calm down, you brat!"
"Run quickly, he is going crazy again!!" the experienced crew member shouted, turned around and ran away.
In an instant, the valley clearing was in chaos.
Roar!
The big man roared.
He pulled it out suddenly and threw the foremast that had just been inserted.
The front mast hit the mountain wall, the front half shattered, but the back half was embedded in the rocks.
The big man punched the dragon bone again.
But at this time, Zhenjin went upstream, his figure was like lightning, jumped directly behind the big man, hit him on the back of the neck again, knocking him unconscious.
Everything just started and ended.
The situation is always under Zhenjin's control.
"There's nothing wrong with the keel, nothing's wrong!" the boatman shouted loudly, feeling extremely lucky.
The others gathered around and came back, all in shock and with lingering fears.
"The big guy is crazy again."
"How many days has it been?"
"No, I can't work with him anymore. I don't want to die inexplicably."
"His usual behavior is all disguise! We can't be deceived by him anymore. He has the blood of giants in his body. I heard that many giants are cannibals!"
"This disease cannot be cured at all. Didn't you hear what the crew said? You must not keep this stupid guy around. Who knows when he will go crazy again?"
Zhen Jin stood on the big man's back, looking around with stern eyes, and the discussion suddenly died down.
"Okay," the young leader shouted, "That's it for today's work, let's go eat!"
He then ordered a few more people from the former mercenary group, as well as Lan Zao, and ordered them to drag the big man back to the hay shed.
"Master Zhenjin, I can let the big man wear shackles." The boatman ran to Zhenjin, and with an anxious look on his face, he took the initiative and said, "When we were on the ship, the big man often wore them.
Very accustomed to it.”
Zhen Jin frowned and patted the shipwright on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I don't blame you, and I don't mean to blame the big man. It's just a foremast, it can be made easily."
The shipwright was relieved after hearing what Zhen Jin said, but he still insisted on shackles on the big man.
To be honest, Zhen Jin was not willing to let the big man wear shackles and was disgusted, but what else could he do?
Zhenjin called Xisuo in private: "Do you know what I want you to do?"
"I understand, sir, this time it is easier than the last time. We have no casualties. Sir, you are really wise and powerful! Look at how scared these people are. They are all too timid. Some cynicism should be able to stimulate their blood."
Seeing that Xisuo understood what he meant, Zhenjin nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead and do it."
Needle Gold requires the big man to work, but not just because of the large amount of shipbuilding projects or to appease the key talent of the shipwright. The young knight also has a deeper motivation. He wants to help the big man and maintain the big man. He wants to
Find ways to allow big people to coexist harmoniously with others.
On the night when the big man fell ill, something unexpected happened.
Rumble.
The earth trembled, gravel rolled, and giant trees fell one after another.
Most of the people woke up from their sleep and fled from their cave dwellings and small valleys in terror.
