Chapter 594 Spring Festival Special · Sailing Series

Go through the third month.

On May 6, it was sunny.

"There was a storm raging in the sea not far away, which seriously affected us, and the captain had no choice but to order the sailors on duty to furl all the sails.

At this moment, the 51-meter-long Mole is like a small box, bumping in the waves. Of course, the perfect assembly line design allows it to maintain balance and prevent it from overturning. "

Outside the window, the wind roared, and the sight was dim. The thick lead cloud made the sky hang down as if it was within reach, and it seemed that the gate of hell had been opened by some unknown existence.

However, Lu Li was used to this kind of scene, so he continued to bury his head and write quickly.

"If there hadn't been this accident, the Mole would have been able to leave today, completely away from this weird place, and then sail to the next weird place..."

Out of caution, the entire diary uses a font that no one can understand, Chinese characters.

Of course, this is also a habit.

Even with the study, Lu Li has already mastered most of the characters of the other world, and can skillfully use them in his daily life.

"May the sea be calm as soon as possible."

A few minutes later.

With a snap, the diary closed.

Lu Li just put it on the table without taking any measures to keep it secret——

People from another world can't understand Chinese characters.

Moreover, the diary is written, isn't it just for others to read it one day?

If someone could understand it, Lu Li would be too happy because he had lived in this weird world for nearly a hundred days, and he couldn't find any hope of returning home, nor could he find any friends to share his secrets with.

Knock Knock Knock——

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Doctor Lu, the captain called you to the confinement room."

"coming."

The sailor who was in charge of passing the message was not familiar with Lu Li, so the two of them didn't talk too much when they were on their way.

But it can be seen from the stride frequency that things should be urgent.

Doctor on board.

This is Lu Li's current job. Since he was rescued from the isolated island by the Mole last year, he has been providing medical services for more than forty crew members.

Of course, due to the simple conditions, it is impossible to perform any major surgery.

the other side.

Behind the closed door is a secret room, dark and quiet, as if there are illusory ghosts spreading the chill.

Martin felt that his mental state was getting weaker and weaker. This was not an illusion. The two strong men in charge of guarding outside could prove that he often howled like crazy and kept hitting his head against the wall.

In order to make this self-destructive behavior controllable, the captain deliberately put Martin on ankles and bracelets.

Still, there are quiet moments in the Chamber, like now.

After infusing the special medicine, Martin's mind can always be quite clear.

"How is he?"

"Just now I kept screaming strangely. If the potion you prepared didn't work, I really wanted to shut his mouth."

"Well... that's a good idea, no one wants to hear that weird raving."

The sound of conversation could be faintly transmitted into the confinement room.

Martin snuggled up against the head of the bed, and occasionally murmured inexplicably, as if talking to something.

Suddenly, there was a stab.

The harsh metal friction sound interrupted this behavior. On the door skirt, a sliding plate for observing the internal situation was pulled away, revealing a pair of vigilant brown eyes.

After sweeping around, the sliding window closed.

That was Doctor Lu Li, Martin was absolutely sure.

Because, the crew on the Mole have either blue eyes or dark gray eyes, only this doctor is the most special:

Black hair, brown eyes, a slender young man, his mouth always likes to be drawn into a thin line, giving people a sense of indifference.

While Martin was thinking, the iron door clicked and was opened.

In an instant, a disgusting smell of urine wafted through. Lu Li and Captain Buck frowned and stepped in anyway.

I saw a piece of dark brown dirt with an inexplicable shape on the hard board bed used to rest.

It can be seen that it is very fresh, and it is exuding a stench outside, probably the result of the battle of madness.

"Can the shackles be opened? I think I haven't reached the point where I can't take care of myself."

"Do you think a normal person would put himself in such a mess in a conscious state?"

Lu Li tried to talk to the patient: "You know, these shackles can't completely restrict your behavior, let alone prevent you from going to the toilet."

"All right."

Martin seemed to accept the fact that he was suffering from some kind of terrible disease, pleading: "Can I have a black crayon?"

"What do you want this for?"

After watching from the sidelines until now, Captain Buck finally spoke. He is an experienced sailor who has spent most of his life at sea and finally has a boat of his own.

As a captain for the first time, there is absolutely no room for loss.

With this thought in mind, Mr. Barker showed surprising vigilance and determination, which is why most of the crew survived——

The day before yesterday, the Mole, which had sailed in the sea for nearly a month, encountered an island with piers, fishermen, workers, priests, and even telephone poles symbolizing civilization.

Even Lu Li, who had just boarded the ship for a short time, knew one thing. It is definitely a beautiful thing to meet a small island country in the vast sea.

It can be supplemented with vegetables and fruits, and it can make sailors find fun and relax their depressed hearts.

At first, everything went well until night fell.

At that time, Lu Li was drinking in the tavern. Suddenly, he was keenly aware of the strangeness. There were webs growing between the nimble fingers of the bartender.

You should know that thing is a special part that only aquatic animals or animals with aquatic habits grow, how can normal humans have it!

Fortunately, Captain Buck was sitting next to him. Although he was drunk, he did not lose the most basic judgment. When he heard the reminder, he immediately pulled out his musket and killed the bartender, and led the crew to break out at the pier. .

Only Martin was an exception. He acted alone and went to the church to worship alone. Even though he heard the movement and ran to join the large army in time, he still left sequelae.

"Life characteristics: 21 years old... The spirit is on the verge of collapse... It is expected to transform into a follower of the Fortan cult within three days. The mental stabilizer can only delay the effect, and the specific situation needs to be followed up in real time..."

The two people in the room didn't notice that there was a layer of green on Lu Li's rainbow model.

The eyes capture the latest physical condition of the patient, which is then transmitted to the brain and interpreted as an understandable flow of information.

With this small advantage, Lu Li, whose background is unknown, successfully found a job——

Mole, the newly established grass-roots team is willing to accept him as the ship's doctor.

"I think painting can distract my attention and make me feel better, so that I can survive the next time I go to the beach and go to the hospital for treatment."

After some murmurs, Martin raised his head and said pitifully.

Click.

The sound of the key being inserted into the lock cylinder was heard.

"From now on, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter this confinement room. Medicines, food and clean water are all handed in through the small door."

Captain Buck has always been calm in his work, but he was not decisive enough in this matter.

Facing the entreaties of his subordinates, he finally agreed softly and asked someone to send Martin a black crayon later.

God knows what this guy will draw with it.

Of course, Lu Li didn't pay too much attention to it. The residents on that weird island were all pagan believers, but that's just a huge number, and the individual strength was not high.

Otherwise, the forty sailors with guns would not be allowed to break out of the encirclement.

"Doctor Lu, is there enough herbal medicine on board? The next docking should be in half a month. I want to send Martin to a reliable island for treatment."

Lu Li didn't answer the captain's question, but instead asked, "Reliable?"

In three months, he learned a completely unfamiliar language and used his mysterious ability to successfully gain a foothold on the Mole.

Other than that, he knows very little about this world, he only has some common sense and the final destination of this trip:

Winston, the capital of glass.

According to the sailors, it is an extremely large island, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers, with two provinces, producing the world's finest wool, pure-tasting famous liquor, and countless exquisite glass products.

The tortoiseshell glasses that Captain Buck regarded as a treasure were produced in Winston.

It's a pity that even a quarter of the voyage has not been completed so far. In the past three months, what Lu Li has seen most are waves, storms, and small islands with various strange customs.

"Reliable means that I have been there before."

"If there is no deviation in memory, on the next voyage, you will encounter an island country named Ghana, with a population of nearly 100,000, and medical conditions that are much better than those on the ship."

Speaking of this, Captain Buck took a deep look at Lu Li. This man who appeared on an uninhabited island and couldn't even speak a word had unknowingly become a key figure in saving the Mole.

"May that place heal Martin once and for all."

Lu Li sighed, and then dispelled his doubts. According to Shihui's report: "The herbal medicine reserves are sufficient, but some ingredients are obviously not enough. Let Martin last for another five days at most."

"What's missing?" The captain didn't want any sailors to die during the voyage, and frowned, "Can you find a replacement in the cargo hold?"

"I need a ghost shark. I usually buy it in advance at the market on the island, but this time I didn't have time to buy it, so I hurried away."

"Let's wait for the storm to pass, we'll catch it ourselves, and try to keep Martin healthy and less miserable."

If other ships encountered this situation, the infected sailors would most likely sink into the sea, but Mr. Barker was a warm-hearted man, and he would never give up any of the crew members unless it was absolutely necessary.

It was also because of this kindness that Lu Li was able to escape from the isolated island and gain the opportunity to contact civilization.

"Okay, during this period, I will try to prepare various psychotropic drugs to make him as comfortable as possible."

After hearing the promise, a smile appeared on Captain Buck's skinny face, "Thanks for your hard work, doctor. In view of your outstanding performance, from now on, your monthly salary will be increased to ten silver coins."

The vast sea is full of weirdness and danger, which also makes it difficult for human civilizations to communicate, let alone the unified currency, which can only be traded with precious metals.

Silver coins, located in the second tier of the monetary system, come in denominations of one or five, depending on weight and purity.

Anyway, until he finds a way to go back, Lu Li has to find a way to save money so that he can live more comfortably.

Thinking of this, he took off his hat, saluted the captain as a sailor, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, thank you for your generosity."

Polite, studious, alert, although the origin is a mystery, but as long as it can play a role.

At this moment, the more Buck looked at Lu Li, the more satisfied he became. He took out a handful of shredded tobacco leaves from his pocket, smoothed the paper and rolled it up, and said, "This is what you deserve. Work hard. This salary is comparable to that of a third mate. gone."

Saying that, the captain handed Lu Li the cigarette, and patted him on the shoulder again.

There are more than forty crew members on the Mole, and there are only a handful of people who can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Three months of hard work were not in vain.

From the panic at the beginning of the journey, to the joy after being rescued, to engaging in his old business and trying to integrate into the strange world, Lu Li has experienced too much in these 100 days.

As for the confusion, there are more or less some, but Lu Li firmly believes that with exploration and discovery, one day he will be able to find a way to go back.

Just thinking about it, Buck reminded: "Also, now that you have learned how to speak, go out to socialize more and get close to the brothers on the ship."

"Don't stay in the room and the consulting room all the time."

After the words fell, the old captain seemed to have thought of something, and added earnestly: "Well, after the storm is over and I leave this ghost place, I will find a good weather and hold an official welcome party for you. Then, don't be bored anymore. caught."

Due to traveling to an unfamiliar environment and the language barrier, Lu Li was silent most of the time except for preparing various medicines.

In fact, he also participates in group activities like going to a tavern to drink, but he just likes to sit in a corner, collect information from other people, and learn about the world.

Because of this, many sailors thought that Lu Li was like this by nature, taciturn and introverted...

And these words are not commendatory words for people who have been wandering at sea all year round, because crew members with this type of character are prone to depression, or hear strange whispers, and become lunatics or monsters.

"Then I will trouble you."

No one would refuse this enthusiasm, Lu Li looked at the old man who saved himself and provided him with a decent job, and explained: "There is no way, when I just stepped into a strange environment and couldn't speak, I could only silence."

"So you have to act quickly. After this incident, everyone is very grateful to you, not to mention that you are a capable doctor."

In order for Lu Li to integrate into the big family as soon as possible and not be so independent, Buck, the parent, was heartbroken.

After all, the person who has been teaching Lu Li how to speak is the old captain. After getting along for three months, there is somewhat of a mentor-student relationship.

To be honest, if Lu Li knew how to make a living and was able to do things, maybe he could really accept this childless old man as his godfather, and after a hundred years, he would inherit the cargo ship Mole.

"By the way, remember to sit with me when we eat later, and introduce the first mate, second mate, and bosun to you first."

There is a newcomer in the family, and I am taking care of it. I will write the main text tomorrow and start to update it steadily. I will not ask for leave~
