Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.
Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...
Chapter 407 Stay on the Island
Ye Mingzhu naturally saw his intention, but she was surrounded by his men, so she couldn't say too much. So she just gave him a reproachful look and pointed to the boat and said, "We brought some food here. You can ask someone to take it."
The eyes of the soldiers who had stopped them just now all lit up, and the leading soldier stepped forward: "Master Jiang, let me get it, I'm strong."
"I'll get it."
"I'll go."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the group of aloof soldiers and instantly became eager, looking at Jiang Hongyu like a hungry person looking at a big piece of fat meat.
"Go ahead." Jiang Hongyu didn't make things difficult for them. Instead, he reminded them, "Take it to the kitchen later and give each brother a piece."
Several people nodded hurriedly and rushed onto the boat.
When the soldiers who were getting off the boat carrying things passed by Ye Mingzhu, they all respectfully called out, "Sister-in-law."
The last person walked handed a bundle to Jiang Hongyu: "Master Jiang, this is your bundle."
The other people were making faces, and Jiang Hongyu reminded them, "Many wounded are still lying here."
"Got it." Two people volunteered to stay behind to guard the place, while the others quickly ran to the island.
Jiang Hongyu then said to Ye Mingzhu: "I'll take you for a walk in front."
The two men put down their bags before leaving the camp.
The entire island is very different from the last time Ye Mingzhu came here. Although there are still not many trees, there is a row of simple houses and quite a few tents.
"It's not safe here. You have to go back after I finish examining the wounded." The first thing Jiang Hongyu said was to let Ye Mingzhu go.
She felt helpless: "We just arrived and you told us to leave."
Jiang Hongyu looked around while talking. "This location is not easy to find. Besides, this is a gold mine. To think someone dared to rob it, I'm afraid this will happen again in the future."
"The people who came yesterday were all quite skilled in martial arts. If more people come, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
His expression was so serious that Ye Mingzhu couldn't refute it.
The two had just exchanged a few words when Ye Wu hurried over and said that Fu Chengyun was looking for him.
Jiang Hongyu frowned. Fu Chengyun knew that Ye Mingzhu had come and came to find him. There must be something urgent.
"You go and do your work first. I'll go find mother and see if she needs any help." Ye Mingzhu knew that Jiang Hongyu had his responsibilities, and she was not the kind of dodder who would always rely on a man.
Jiang Hongyu didn't hesitate any longer and sent Ye Mingzhu to the injured before going about his business.
When Aunt Qing saw Ye Mingzhu, she immediately called her to help.
Although she couldn't cook or make medicine, she could still bandage wounds and tear strips of cloth.
With Ye Mingzhu's help, Aunt Qing was able to see patients faster. It was not until the afternoon that all the wounded were bandaged and those with fever were given medicine.
At noon, everyone only ate one steamed bun. On the one hand, it was because they were busy, and on the other hand, they didn't bring much cooked food and they were embarrassed to eat too much.
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Hongyu frowned and came over again: "Mom, Mingzhu, I'll arrange for someone to take you away."
Aunt Qing sat down on the chair tiredly and raised her head slightly: "Why are you so anxious? Their conditions are not very good."
Aunt Qing was pointing to the people who had fever. Although their fever had subsided, she was very worried that the fever would recur at night.
Jiang Hongyu frowned: "The thieves were here yesterday, I'm worried they will come again today."
Uncle Yan looked at Aunt Qing worriedly and said, "How about leaving some medicine for them? If they have a fever again tonight, let them drink it."
Aunt Qing shook her head: "There are several kinds of medicine for reducing fever. You can't take the same medicine all the time."
Uncle Yan was also a little embarrassed. If Jiang Hongyu came here specifically, there must be something going on. His martial arts skills were no problem to protect Aunt Qing, but it would be a bit difficult for him to protect Ye Mingzhu. Jiang Hongyu was the chief officer on the island. If he came here specifically to protect Ye Mingzhu, it would not be good if it got out.
The wounded soldiers nearby saw this situation, looked at each other, and someone said, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang. If anyone comes, we will definitely protect my sister-in-law and my wife."
Jiang Hongyu shook his head: "You are the injured yourselves, how can you be asked to protect them?"
Before the few people could discuss a solution, the person whose fever had just subsided had a fever again. Aunt Qing didn't bother to discuss whether to go back, and went over to take the person's pulse, prescribe medicine, and boil medicine.
After this person was settled, another person came down with a fever, and the same routine was used: taking the pulse, prescribing medicine, and boiling the medicine.
When you are busy, time flies by quickly and it’s evening in the blink of an eye.
Although the sea is calm after dark, it is less safe, so there is no need to worry about whether to go back.
In the afternoon, Fu Chengyun had already quietly left with a group of people. Excluding the injured, the number of people with attack power on the island was less than one-third of the original number.
Jiang Hongyu's brows have not been relaxed since the afternoon.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yan can protect Mom. If there's any danger, I'll dive into the sea. You know my abilities. I won't be in any danger in the sea."
Jiang Hongyu shook his head: "They came here by boat, and it's even more dangerous in the sea."
"Well, we're still not sure whether the thieves will come tonight, and you're already worried. Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor? I can just make some medicine to make those people faint."
Ye Mingzhu strolled around for a while and suddenly her eyes lit up. She immediately ran out to find Aunt Qing.
Aunt Qing also thought Ye Mingzhu's words were a good idea, but time was tight and she didn't have the right herbs.
After thinking for a while, Aunt Qing went to look through the medicine box that Doctor Zhou had given them, and then took out two porcelain bottles from a pile of small bottles: "This contains the drug."
Jiang Hongyu took the medicine and asked: "How effective is this medicine?"
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads. Everyone knew that Dr. Zhou was very good at gynecology, but no one knew how good he was at making drugs.
"Forget it, I'll keep infatuated for as long as I can." Jiang Hongyu took away both porcelain bottles.
For safety reasons and to take care of the wounded, Uncle Yan, Aunt Qing and Ye Mingzhu slept in the wounded's tents at night so that they could take care of each other if anything happened.
Jiang Hongyu had to get up from time to time at night to check around the island, so it was inconvenient to leave Ye Mingzhu in his tent. Fortunately, Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing were there, so Ye Mingzhu's reputation would not be greatly affected.
Ye Mingzhu couldn't sleep because she had something on her mind. Listening to the deep or shallow breathing in the tent, she slowly got up and walked out of the tent.
There were people patrolling outside the tent from time to time. She didn't dare to go far and stared at the sea in the distance in a daze.
The weather is good today. The sea is rough and there are occasional fish popping up. There is nothing unusual.
Suddenly, Ye Mingzhu was stunned. Are there too many fish appearing on the sea tonight?
