Shengjing Noble

Chapter 575 Don’t save me until you die

"Ah Hai, I need some herbs that can clear away heat, detoxify and reduce inflammation. Can you find them if I write a list?"

"Okay, you write first."

Su Lanyin lowered her head and wrote a list and handed it to Ah Hai.

He glanced at her, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, and then he looked at A Yue in embarrassment.

"It's not enough..." A Yue shook her head.

"What's not enough?" Su Lanyin asked.

"There isn't enough fish to trade for medicinal materials."

"It's okay! I'll go out fishing now and try to come back before dawn, then take the fish to exchange for medicine!" Ah Hai said and was about to go out.

"no!"

A Yue shouted and rushed over to block the door.

"This is the time when the beasts in the sea wake up to hunt. Even the former king of fish dare not go out to sea at night. It is a life-threatening situation! I don't want you to go!"

"But if I don't go, we won't have enough fish to replace the medicine, and they'll die!"

Su Lanyin thought for a moment and said, "It's so dangerous. If you go, what if you can't come back? Not only will there be no fish to exchange for medicine, but A Yue and the children will also lose you."

"Are we going to let them die without helping them?"

"Of course I have to save him, but I have a better way."

"any solution?"

"We can ask the villagers for help. If each family can produce a fish, it will be enough to exchange for medicinal materials."

"But if that's the case...won't we be discovered?"

"What was discovered?"

A Yue explained: "A Xing, you don't know, these people are from our village. Because they couldn't pay the monthly payment, they were arrested and taken to the Pirate City to be punished."

Ah Hai went on to say, "They showed up here in the middle of the night covered in wounds. They must have escaped from death. If anyone knew about this, there might be people in the village who would sell them out in order to get credit and pay less for their monthly mortgage."

Su Lanyin frowned: "We are all poor people in the same village, why would we report each other? What's more, this pirate island is so small, if they really escaped, where can they hide? Sooner or later they will be found here. Since they can be found, what's the point of reporting or not?"

A Yue and A Hai looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Finally they looked at Su Lanyin.

"Axing, you make the decision."

"Now there are two options: I can either go out to sea to fish, or ask villagers to raise funds."

Su Lanyin touched her chin and thought for a while, then said, "No, there should be a third way."

"What?" The two looked at her in confusion.

"Trade medical skills for fish."

"what?"

"Today's free consultation is a sign of gaining their trust. Starting tomorrow, anyone who wants to see a doctor will have to pay a fish."

Ah Hai looked worried: "Will everyone be angry?"

Ah Yue said: "Ah Xing works so hard and is so tired to treat people for free. It's not too much to accept a fish."

"That's right, it's just a fish, everyone should give it."

“But can their bodies handle it?”

"I think I know a little bit about acupuncture, and I can help stabilize their condition temporarily. As long as I can get the herbs before dark tomorrow, I can save their lives."

"Okay! Then I'll watch over them tonight. You guys go and get some rest first, especially Ah Xing. You need to get some rest. You'll be very tired tomorrow."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Wake me up in time if anything happens."

"Yes!"

Su Lanyin took one last look at the five people before turning around and leaving to go back to her room to rest.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was daybreak.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on Ah Hai's door, and many villagers were already standing outside waiting.

Ah Hai opened the door and was about to say something when he saw many people in line holding things in their hands.

"Everyone, what are you doing..."

The first one in line was a young man. He was holding a big fish and stuffed it directly into Ah Hai's arms.

He just said in a carefree manner: "Ah Hai, thanks to Dr. Xing, my father's illness that had plagued him for many years has improved a lot yesterday. You don't want money, so I can only bring a fish here. I hope you don't mind!"

"We brought some too! They are gifts from everyone, you must accept them!"

"Yes, Doctor Xing worked so hard yesterday, let's give these things to her to replenish her body!"

……

Everyone expressed their enthusiasm, waving what they had in their hands.

Ah Hai couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, feeling guilty for worrying about yesterday.

Everyone was so kind, but he actually suspected that they might report it.

However, his suspicion was not groundless.

After all, similar incidents had happened before, and in order to protect Ah Xing, he had to be cautious.

"Everyone, you don't need to bring so many things. If you want to see Ah Xing for treatment, just bring a fish."

"really?"

"Can a fish cure a disease?"

"I'm also worried that I'm taking too little."

"Thank you! But is one fish really enough?"

"Ah Hai, you still have so many children to raise, we can give you more."

"Yeah, just help Ah Xing a little more, and we'll just catch your share of the fish."

……

Everyone was very enthusiastic, but Ah Hai quickly shook his head and refused: "No, no, no, one fish is enough, everyone come in."

As he said this, he made way and let everyone in.

……

Soon, Ah Hai collected enough fish. He immediately went to the market outside the pirate city to exchange for a lot of medicinal herbs, and then brought them back to Ah Yue.

With the medicinal herbs, the lives of the five people were saved.

But there were still a lot of medicinal herbs left, and Ah Xing decided to keep them so that he could help people in need in the future.

……

At this time, Pirate City.

The pirate king sat back in a tall animal-skin chair, looking down at the little pirates kneeling below.

"Where are the five people we let go yesterday?"

"My king, they left the pirate city last night and returned to the village in the west."

"All of them went back?"

"Yes!"

"Forget about the first three, but can the last two also go back?"

“Those cunning guys in the front actually hid outside and waited for the ones behind, and then helped them back.”

A sinister look flashed in the Pirate King's eyes: "If all five of them survive, wouldn't it destroy the dignity and warning of the Pirate City in their minds?"

"Your Majesty, what you mean is..."

"Kill them. No one has ever been able to survive safely after leaving the Pirate Island."

"Yes!"

……

into the night.

The five people who took the medicine gradually woke up. When they saw Ah Hai, they cried with excitement.

"Ahai! I knew you would save us!"

"Thank you very much. Otherwise, even if we succeeded in returning, I'm afraid we would still die."

"Yes, but was it A-Yue who bandaged our injuries?"

"Yes, weren't all the doctors here arrested?"

"After drinking this medicine, I feel a lot lighter. Could it be that you and Ah Yue did this too?"
