Xiao Tangzhi acted as if he didn't see it.

He walked over slowly and stood in front of these people. He exchanged a few words in their language, then turned around and said, "They said that their king is seriously ill. The wizard said that the turning point is here, and asked them to come here in the morning to rescue people. If the fifth person to the island is a woman, then this woman can save their king."

Yan Shiyue was silent for a moment.

Looking at him, she would think of the corpses floating on the sea. Those were all her shadow guards.

But now, he was the only one who understood their language.

In the end, she still said nothing, only asked: "What disease?"

Xiao Tangzhi turned around and asked a few more questions, then said, "It should be... a disease that spreads from the corpse."

Yan Shiyue frowned.

The disease transmitted by corpses, also known as pulmonary consumption, is actually the tuberculosis of later generations, because the ancients believed that this disease was transmitted by the qi of the dead body. The book says, "This disease is mostly caused by crying in front of a corpse, and the qi of the corpse enters the abdomen, which may last for five to three years. The patient can eat but cannot eat, or the disease may last for two to five days, and the disease will occur if there is even a little exertion." Therefore it is called the disease transmitted by corpses.

In the previous dynasty, there was a miracle doctor named Xu Yinzong. In the New Book of Tang Dynasty, there was a folk prescription recorded, which was said to be "curable in every case." This was the only Chinese medicine method she knew of to treat tuberculosis.

...

...

She said, “I can try.”

Xiao Tangzhi turned around and talked to them.

Several people quickly showed their joy and then respectfully invited them to get in the car.

The animals pulling the carts on this island are actually deer, and the road surface is paved with white stones, so the driving speed is very smooth and fast.

Yan Shiyue quietly signaled to the shadow guards to stay calm and got on the deer cart.

Xiao Tangzhi talked with them all the way and arrived at an inn at night. Yan Shiyue and his shadow guards all bathed, changed into local clothes, and were respectfully invited to have a meal together.

Everyone who was accompanying them had a smile on their face and looked kind.

Xiao Tangzhi spoke to them for a few words, and then their people left.

The shadow guard then said coldly: "Is this your purpose?"

Xiao Tangzhi lowered his eyes, and after a while he said, "I know you don't believe me, but I still want to say that I have never been to this place. I learned the language here because Jiang Henbie taught me. This place is called Ryukyu, and it is a small country on an island."

He paused, "And... I, I can't explain it clearly. I really don't understand what happened. I never thought of kidnapping the master. I don't know when I got into trouble, or even what happened to me..."

The shadow guard sneered, "Do you believe what you said? The timing and method of drugging us were so precise, even a Gu couldn't do it!"

Others also said: "We can tell from the common medicine. You have been to the fruit shop before. Don't say that this medicine was not prepared by you!"

"We just happened to be here, someone just happened to be waiting, and you just happened to say what's here. Are there really so many coincidences in the world?"

Xiao Tangzhi listened to them in silence for a few seconds, then he got annoyed and sneered, "It's fine if you don't believe me, but now I'm the only one who can speak the language here and communicate with them. Do you want to kill me?" He stretched out his arms, "Come on!"

"You!" Several shadow guards stood up suddenly.

Yan Shiyue shouted: "Enough!"

Several shadow guards said anxiously: "Yes."

Yan Shiyue said coldly: "You didn't make the medicine? You didn't give it to me? I don't know how many people died. Why are you so arrogant? Are you still feeling wronged? You didn't do anything wrong? If you explain, we have to believe it. Then you should pay back the life you owe first!!"

Xiao Tangzhi raised his eyes, but did not dare to look at her, and just lowered his head silently.

Yan Shiyue immediately said to the shadow guard, "They should have no ill intentions. Everyone, be careful. Recover your strength first and find out the situation. We can talk about other things later."

The shadow guard said anxiously: "Master!"

Yan Shiyue waved his hand and remained silent.

Everyone looked at each other and could only lower their heads and continue eating.

It was not until they finished eating and stood up that Yan Shiyue said to Xiao Tangzhi, "Do you still remember the fake Tang Shiyue? You said that she firmly believed that she was the real Tang Shiyue."

Xiao Tangzhi was a little confused. Looking at her, Yan Shiyue said, "Maybe you are too."

Xiao Tangzhi was greatly stunned when he understood what she said.

The shadow guard said: "Master, do you still believe him?!"

Yan Shiyue shook her head: "I don't believe him, but he is a liar. This is not his usual way. I think something is wrong. And the people on this island don't seem to be lying to me."

She paused and said, "Anyway, let's take it one step at a time. At this time, we can only stay here for now."

The shadow guard also fell silent.

After drifting on the sea for two days, everyone was exhausted, but they were just holding on. At this time, there was nothing they could do but to recover their strength first.

The group rested for a night, set out early the next morning, and arrived at the royal city three days later.

Yan Shiyue wrote the prescription for them on the way, but many of the drug names were not universal and they didn't know what they were. Fortunately, Xiao Tangzhi knew them and described them one by one, and asked them to take them and look at them before starting trial production.

This island is isolated from the world, but fortunately it is rich in resources and all the medicines on the prescription were found. After they arrived at the royal city, someone was already testing the medicines.

Yan Shiyue was arranged to live in a small building. The shadow guards also lived with her. There were also people who looked like ministers accompanying her all the time. The servants were also very considerate. Although they could not speak the same language, she was treated as a VIP.

But the only restriction was that they were not allowed to leave until their king recovered.

No matter how worried Yan Shiyue was, she could only wait. Otherwise, she would have no idea of ​​the situation. Even if she fought with the shadow guards, they would be groping in the dark. Besides, there were only nine people including her, and with Xiao Tangzhi, who was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, they could not fight back.

Fortunately, the food here is still very good, with abundant seafood, various fruits, and even mangoes in later generations, which are called mangoes here. They are picked when they are ripe, and they are fresh, sweet and delicious.

During this period, Yan Shiyue and Yingwei were both working hard to learn their language.

They look similar to them, without the blonde hair and blue eyes, but their written language seems to be completely independent, like a paradise on the sea.

While they were trying to find opportunities and waiting for the Ryukyu King to recover, the outside world had been turned upside down. The people had been searching on the sea for countless days and were almost in despair.

But no matter how much they thought about it, they could not have imagined that they would actually run from the southern waters to the southeast.

So, no matter how hard you look, you can't find it.

Yan Shiyue waited in vain and could not help but want to send out his shadow guards to investigate at night. At this time, the Ryukyu officials brought good news with a smile on their faces. It was said that the King of Ryukyu had started using their medicine and his condition had improved slightly.

Yan Shiyue could only understand about 20% to 30% of what was said, so he said, "Ask about the ship?"

Xiao Tangzhi discussed with the man, turned back with a little surprise and said, "They don't have a boat that can travel far."

The two talked for a long time, and Xiao Tangzhi said, "You can let the shadow guard go and take a look, but you can't leave."

That was fine, Yan Shiyue picked two shadow guards to follow them out.

This place is in the center of the island. It takes several days to reach the shore. Heng Shiyi came back and said, "They really don't have boats that can travel far. The boats are thin and curved. They only fish near the coast when the weather is fine. They never go out to sea at other times."

He also found it a little unbelievable that living on the sea for a long time, he rarely went into the sea?

Yan Shiyue asked: "What should we do then?"

Heng Shiyi said, "I wrote a few pieces of cloth and tied them in a conspicuous place. If anyone comes, they should be able to see them."

Yan Shiyue frowned.

They have only been drifting for more than two days, and there have been no strong winds or waves during these two days. Logically, they should not be far away, so why haven't they found us yet?
