Ya Yi'an stood in front of the sailors and announced with high spirits: "From now on, I, Ya Yi'an, am your captain and officially take over all Ma Xingkong's property."
Tang Lie raised his middle finger towards Ya Yi'an from afar, and said to Xuan'er with a smile: "I suddenly discovered that Ya Yi'an really likes to be in the limelight."
Xuan'er smiled and said: "But he does have some dignity like a captain,"
Ya Yi'an triumphantly finished his lecture to the sailors, came to Tang Lie and Xuan'er's side happily, and said proudly: "How is it? I performed pretty well, right?"
Xuan'er nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
At this time, a warrior came to Ya Yi'an, handed him the list of goods on the ship and said: "All the accounts are here, please ask the captain to take a look."
Ya Yi'an took the list and looked at it roughly, and suddenly said in surprise: "Thirty-six slaves, why didn't I see it?"
The warrior whispered: "Lock them all in the bottom cabin."
"Take us to see it,"
Opening the hatch of the bottom cabin, a pungent stench hit his face. Tang Lie couldn't help but frowned. He had once been captured as a slave by Maisie. He could imagine the harsh environment below, and the unruly behavior of horses. I was even more disgusted by the despicable behavior of the human trafficker, and felt that it was really wrong to let him go so easily just now.
Ya Yi'an pinched her nose and waved her hand: "Close it, close it."
Tang Lie glared at him and said, "What's the difference between what you're doing and that human trafficker Ma Xingkong?" He ordered the samurai in charge of guarding: "Let all the slaves out and bring them to the stern of the ship to give them a good rinse." The warrior looked at Ya Yi'an as if asking for help. In their hearts, Ya Yi'an was the captain and they had to obey his orders in everything.
Ya Yi'an waved his hand vigorously and said: "Go quickly, I am your captain, and he is my ancestor." He was very dissatisfied with Tang Lie's benevolent behavior.
Tang Lie smiled nonchalantly, and Xuan'er whispered: "Master, you did the right thing, and Xuan'er supports you."
Ya Yi'an couldn't help but sigh: "Women's benevolence," in his eyes slaves and huge profits are closely linked, and there is no modern concept like Tang Lie's that everyone should be born equal.
After counting the number of slaves, it was discovered that three people were dead in the bottom cabin, and a slave covered in dirt was sick. Tang Lie had people throw the dead bodies into the river, which was the best solution at hand.
After the warriors washed the slaves with river water, they lined up on the deck. Tang Lie asked Xuan'er to go back to the cabin to rest first, and he and Ya Yi'an came to the front of the team, only to see that these slaves were all young men. They are tall, muscular, and have the same silver-grey hair. Their noses are high and their eye sockets are deep-set. Their eyes are dark green. The most peculiar thing is that their ears are all in the shape of almond leaves.
Ya Yi'an quietly pulled Tang Lie aside and said in a low voice: "These are half-elves, a mixture of elves and orcs. They are very popular commodities in the slave market."
Tang Lie said calmly: "What's the matter? They are also normal human beings. We will release them when we get to Shasha City."
Ya Yi'an knew that once Tang Lie made a decision, it would be difficult for others to change it. He sighed with regret and said, "I have no objection to you releasing them, but the chains on their hands must not be opened before arriving at the destination. These half-elves are brave and good at fighting, and I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble,”
Tang Lie nodded and said: "There are still a lot of idle cabins in the back. Move them up from the bottom cabin and give them food. In order to prevent them from causing chaos, we can increase the number of guards."
Ya Yi'an had no choice but to agree.
At this time, the group of half-elves suddenly became commotion, and a handsome young man hugged the injured half-elf and cried loudly.
Tang Lie walked over slowly, and the young man suddenly turned around, staring at Tang Lie with a pair of bloodshot eyes, full of deep-seated hatred. He must have attributed the experience before him to Tang Lie.
Tang Lie tried his best to appear friendly and said with a smile: "I am not the slave owner who kidnapped you. Otherwise, I would not have released you from the bottom of the cabin. You can temporarily put aside your hatred and let me check him for your friend." Are you injured?"
The young man seemed to understand what Tang Lie said, and the hatred in his eyes subsided slightly. He said harshly: "He is my eldest brother..."
Tang Lie nodded and asked the warrior to untie the chains on the injured and unconscious half-elf. After careful inspection, he discovered that he had multiple serious traumas, including a fractured humerus on his left side and a fracture under his left rib. The deep wound had festered due to improper treatment. Judging from his weak pulse and pale eyelids, he must have had a history of massive blood loss.
Tang Lie turned around and said to the samurai behind him: "Clean up a clean cabin and bring him in. I want to help treat his wounds."
The young half-elf looked at Tang Lie with doubts. He did not believe that these slave owners who enslaved them would have sudden kindness.
Tang Lie saw the concerns in his heart and smiled: "You don't have to trust me, but you have no other choice. Just calm down and wait. I will give you a satisfactory answer."
The trauma suffered by the half-elf is just a piece of cake for Tang Lie, but now there are no hand tools or necessary medical drugs around him. The only disinfectant that can be provided in large quantities is spirits. In this extremely primitive environment, Tang Lie was not necessarily sure about treating the half-elf's injuries under the conditions.
The smallest surgical knife that could be found was the dagger that Tang Lie got from the golden warship. It was too big to use to cut out the rotten flesh of the half-elf's wound, and it was impossible to guarantee that the dagger was completely sterilized. What's more, the dagger is extremely sharp, and a slight lack of control will aggravate his injuries.
Tang Lie suddenly remembered what happened to Mu Fengchun when he escaped from Huju Pass. At that time, he used the energy in his body to condense into an invisible knife and cut off the tree vines tied to his body. If he used the energy flow to form a knife using the method that day, , is it possible to successfully remove the rotten flesh from the half-elf's wound and avoid the risk of contact infection?
Tang Lie was overjoyed with his fantastic idea. He first used strong liquor to wash away the pus and blood from the half-elf man's wound, exposing the festering wound, and then concentrated the energy in his body on the index finger of his right hand. A blue sword energy came out from his finger. Tang Lie controlled the sword energy within a certain range. The blue energy sword jumped on his fingertips, like a bunch of blue flames, with the invisible energy sword as half The elf surgery was Tang Lie's first such attempt in his life.
The energy knife cut into the edge of the elf man's wound, and the feeling of penetrating into the opponent's flesh was transmitted to Tang Lie's mind very clearly through the nerves in his right arm. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the invisible energy knife was more comfortable to operate than the scalpel. The invisible scalpel gathered by this energy seemed to be a part of his body. Every step it took could be directly reflected in the nerve center of his brain. Even when every capillary was cut, he could clearly feel this invisible scalpel. Energy knife also has a great advantage. It can use energy to stop microvascular bleeding and cauterize the blood vessel stumps, which is equivalent to the effect of electrosurgery in previous surgeries, but the damage to the wound is far less than that of electrosurgery.
Tang Lie successfully cleaned up the rotten flesh around the wound within two minutes. If this new surgical method was used in the past society, it would be a super news bomb that shocked the entire medical community.
Tang Lie will sew the cleaned wound with sterilized needles. Under the current medical conditions, he can only try his best to perfect the treatment. As for the prognosis, a large part of it depends on the patient's own constitution.
After treating the infected wound, Tang Lie reset his dislocated left humerus and put a splint on him. Using his own energy, Tang Lie could clearly feel the injury status in the other person's body. He suddenly had an idea. Energy can be used to form a scalpel, and energy can also be used to promote the healing of the patient's affected area. However, with his current level, I am afraid it is far from what he imagined.
Tang Lie washed his hands, took the tea from Xuan'er, and drank it in a big gulp. His eyes fell on the face of the half-elf again. Due to excessive blood loss, his face looked a little pale and silver-gray. He has short hair standing on top of his head like a hedgehog, a Chinese-shaped face, and a strong body. Although he is lying on the bed, it can still be seen that he is the tallest among the half-elves. There is a tattoo on his muscular left arm. The weird wing pattern is not a symbol of force.
The half-elf's throat moved, as if he was about to wake up. Tang Lie took a step forward and heard a faint voice coming from his throat: "Nirvana... Nirvana..."
Xuan'er whispered: "He is asking for water." She had lived in an elf tribe for a while and was familiar with the language of the elf people, so she knew what this half-elf man said.
Tang Lie took the water bowl from Xuan'er's hand and came to the bed. He helped the half-elf man up and brought the water bowl to his chapped lips. The half-elf man opened his mouth and drank it in big gulps. After drinking a bowl, he still asked for water. Tang Lie asked Xuan'er to pour another bowl. After drinking five bowls in a row, the half-elf slowly opened his eyes. He was obviously surprised when he saw Tang Lie and waved. I wanted to go hunting in my left arm, but I felt a pain in my left arm and had to put it down.
Tang Lie smiled and said: "You ungrateful guy, I saved you with good intentions, now you want to repay the favor with revenge?"
Only then did the half-elf realize that all the wounds on his body had been bandaged, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Tang Lie stood up and said, "You should have a good rest here. No one will bully you without my permission." He took Xuan'er out of the cabin.
Hearing the flirting sounds of a man and a woman coming from the stern of the ship, Tang Lie listened. The man was obviously Ya Yi'an, but he didn't know which woman it was. He motioned to Xuan'er to return to the cabin first and quietly Following the direction of the sound, he walked over and saw clearly that the girl who was teasing Ya Yi'an was the slave girl who had previously served Ma Xingkong.
Ya Yi'an had a lustful smile on her face, her eyes never leaving the slave girl's pretty face, and her arms had quietly hooked around the slave girl's slender waist. If she hadn't been outside, he would have pounced on her like a tiger.
Tang Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head, and quietly retreated with the thought of the beauty of adulthood. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. The fire was ignited at the first touch, so let them go.
Tang Lie ordered the warriors to bring out the injured half-elf brother. Because the young man was concerned about his brother's injury, when he saw Tang Lie, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is my elder brother?"
The warrior next to me angrily shouted: "You brave slave, why are you so rude?"
Tang Lie stopped the samurai from further embarrassing the half-elf young man, and said with a smile: "He should have passed the danger, but he needs someone to take care of him. As his brother, you should be the best person to take care of him. Go ahead, there is someone to take care of him." If you need anything, just come to me,"
The half-elf looked at Tang Lie with joy. After a long time, he came back to his senses. He knelt on the ground and kissed Tang Lie's boots. He choked and said, "Your great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by Puni."
Tang Lie was not used to receiving such thanks from others, so he retracted his feet with a smile: "Go quickly, there must be someone by your brother's side to take care of you,"
Going upstream along the Wuming River, the river becomes narrower and the water flows faster as we go forward. Fortunately, this is not the first time for the sailors like Ma Xingkong to pass this route. They can sail against the current with ease. Tang Lie treats these sailors well. His attitude was much better than that of Ma Xingkong. Originally, many people surrendered because they were afraid of Tang Lie's force. After these two days of contact, they have sincerely obeyed Tang Lie's commander-in-chief.
Ya Yi'an spent more time hanging out with the slave girl, almost forgetting his duties as a captain.
However, Tang Lie was surprised by the recovery speed of the injured half-elf. In just two or three days, he could get out of bed and walk freely. It is estimated that he will be fully recovered in another two days. Although the medical level in this world is It was very low, but the self-healing abilities of various races far exceeded what Tang Lie knew about humans in the past.
Tang Lie has buried the names of Xuan Bo and Fina deeply in his heart. Since there is no reason why he should not forget it. Staring at the bright full moon in the night sky, Tang Lie slowly closed his eyes. If he hadn't come here by accident, , he may still be living in the past world of feasting, drunkenness, and dreams. Is all this a coincidence, or is it predestined? A wry smile appeared on Tang Lie's face.
The big ship has entered the Xiong'er Forest. There are towering trees on both sides of the river bank, and low shrubs grow near the water. This scene that should appear in the tropical rain forest actually appears in the cold north. A man The warrior slowly came to Tang Lie and said respectfully: "Boss Tang, we have entered the Xiong'er Forest. This area is controlled by the Fang Clan. They often rob passing passenger ships. Everyone should be on full alert."
Tang Lie nodded: "Send the order and have everyone except the sailors in charge of the oars prepare their weapons and stand guard around the side of the ship to beware of the Fang Clan's attack."
