Chapter 679: Floating Corpses in the River
The spring breeze is kind, the willows are still clinging, and the vast Grand Canal is shining golden in the afterglow of the setting sun. The scenery on both sides of the river is picturesque, the spacious river surface is sparkling and scales, and the boats are shuttling back and forth, and the scene is very lively.
A painting boat calmly runs on the Grand Canal, this painting boat is classical and elegant, and it is very gorgeous, and it is not an ordinary painting boat at first glance. The boat is very slender, about two feet wide, with its head and tail cocked, and two sail masts, one at the bow and the other at the stern. In the middle of the two sets of masts is the cabin, divided into three tiers, the upper two floors built on deck and the bottom below deck.
Suddenly, a busy water finger on the deck pointed to the river and shouted, "Zhang Chong, look, there is a person in the river." ”
The sailor named Zhang Chong next to him looked into the river in the direction of his finger, and saw that there was indeed a person floating on the water not far away, and immediately said, "Quick, catch it quickly." ”
But the sailor hesitated and said, "But what if it's a corpse?" The man floated on the water, drifting along the river, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Zhang Chong thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go and ask Miss." He immediately ran to the top floor. Come to think of it, the so-called lady should live on the top floor. It's no wonder that the top floor is where you're most comfortable.
After a while, Zhang Chong ran down and said to the sailor: "Miss said, fish him up first, if he is still alive, save his life, if he is dead, it is not too late to throw him down." ”
The sailor nodded in agreement: "In that case, then let's get him up." ”
Then, with a thud, the sailor who had spotted the man in the water jumped into the water, swam quickly to the man, and then carried him back to the boat. Zhang Chong and several other sailors worked together to fish them up.
After fishing up, I saw that the person in the water was very young and had a handsome face, but his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there was no trace of blood. The clothes on his body are tattered, but when he touches the fabric, it is not an ordinary fabric, it seems that this young man should not be an ordinary person, but he doesn't know why he fell to such a point.
The sailor who saved the man exclaimed with joy: "His body is still warm, and he still has a little breath, and he seems to be alive." ”
The rest of the sailors who were watching from the sidelines immediately said, "That's great, go and ask Dr. Li to come and see, maybe there will be salvation." ”
"Yes, go and ask Dr. Li to come. ”
Soon, an old man who looked like a doctor was invited by the sailors. When he showed it to the rescued man, he frowned and shook his head vigorously.
"Doctor Li, what the hell is going on?" the sailor who saved the man asked. Looking at Dr. Li's expression, he knew that the young man who was rescued was not in good condition.
Dr. Li sighed: "Looking at his appearance, he must have experienced fierce fights with people before. The old man examined him and found that his external injuries were not strict, but he suffered very severe internal injuries, and his internal organs were almost completely damaged, and he had been soaked in water for at least three days, so he had no way to recover!"
"Isn't it possible to return to heaven? Seeing that he is still so young, it would be a pity if he died like this. Doctor Li, just save him, doesn't he still have a breath?" begged the sailor who saved the man. If he really didn't save it, then wouldn't he have saved it in vain.
Doctor Li shook his head helplessly: "It's late, the old man really can't do anything." ”
The sailor had not yet given up: "Doctor Li, you are a miracle doctor! please save him!" He almost knelt down for Dr. Li.
Doctor Li sighed: "Medicine and medicine do not kill people! No one can cure all diseases! Liu Yuan, the old man is powerless. "It turned out that the sailor's name was Liu Yuan.
Hearing Dr. Li's words, another sailor persuaded: "Liu Yuan, forget it, don't regret it." Dr. Li is recognized as a miracle doctor, and even he said that he has no skills, and it seems that this young man is really hopeless. Although it's a pity, there is no way, let's throw him down, otherwise, dying on the painting boat will be very unlucky, and it will also affect the reputation of the young lady. ”
Liu Yuan looked at the dying young man, his heart was extremely unbearable, and he was about to speak, when suddenly a voice came, "Since he has been saved, let's try to save his life." If we can't save it, then there's nothing we can do, at least we've done our best. This voice is as melodious as the singing of the yellow warbler, just like the sound of a fairy.
Hearing this voice, Liu Yuan was overjoyed.
Following the voice, I saw a young woman standing on the top floor of the painting boat, her hair fluttering, black and bright, and her long skirt mopping the floor, outlining her graceful body exquisitely undulating. She is slender, slim, natural, pure and moving, and naturally beautiful, like a poem with far-reaching artistic conception, and like a vivid painting. Her body is like the skin of a newborn baby, smooth and delicate, white and red, and shining. Although she wears a thin veil on her face, it is difficult to hide her world-class demeanor. The appearance of this woman eclipsed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Grand Canal.
Now everyone stopped talking.
"Since the young lady has ordered, then the old man will do his best. Dr. Li bowed to the woman. However, he silently said in his heart: The old man can only do his best, this person is already a god and cannot be saved.
It seems that this beautiful woman is what they call Miss.
Hearing what Dr. Li said, the woman nodded slightly, glanced casually at the young man who had been rescued, and then turned around and went back to the room.
Liu Yuan and a few sailors then carried the young man to the bottom of the deck, and the lowly subordinates like their sailors were crowded into the bottom of the harsh environment.
Dr. Li prescribed some medicine to the young man, all of which were medicines for internal injuries. However, he didn't have much hope, because in his opinion, this young man was a god and could not be saved, and he just did his best as the young lady said.
After getting the medicine, Liu Yuan pried open the young man's mouth and fed him to take it. Afterwards, Liu Yuan wiped his body and changed into a set of rough linen clothes.
At night, the rescued young man woke up to a bed of hardwood, and looked around to see a small dimly lit room with a dim lamp hanging from the ceiling. He struggled to get up, but the pain was so severe that the bones in his body felt like they were falling apart.
"W-where is this?" muttered the young man.
But no one responded.
He had to sigh and continue to lie down, and soon a wave of tiredness welled up in his head, and he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
