The boatman didn't believe it.
He felt cold for her.
But he couldn't bear to say harsh words to such a cute little girl, nor did he have the heart to ignore her.
Even though the girl was coquettish, the boatman still tried to persuade her, "You are not a local, are you?"
He looked left and right, but saw no one else.
Then he spoke kindly and lovingly like an elder, "I don't know why you are here alone in this weather, little girl, no matter what you have to do, this weather won't do it. If you don't mind, come with me to my house to warm up by the fire, drink something hot, and warm yourself up first."
Seeing Jiuer looking at him with a smile, the boatman suddenly remembered that this girl was so eye-catching and beautiful, could she be afraid that he was a bad person with bad intentions?
The boatman quickly explained calmly, "My wife saw that I haven't been home for so long, so she must have made some soup. Although she is a country fisherwoman, she is also very good at making fish soup."
Jiuer thought about it and said with a smile without any fear, "Okay, sorry to bother you then."
Boatman: “…” Is he overthinking it? This girl doesn’t seem to be afraid of encountering bad guys.
In this way, Jiuer and the boatman entered the fishing village together.
The boatman's wife was also a very kind middle-aged woman.
Although she was surprised at first, she didn't say much even though Jiuer was dressed so "immoral".
Seeing such a lovely and pretty girl wearing so little, no matter what the reason, the woman felt heartbroken.
He asked Jiuer to sit by the fire and quickly served her some hot soup.
Faced with the enthusiasm and concern of the boatman and his wife, Jiuer paused for only a moment and then obediently drank the hot soup and put on the fur coat that the woman felt embarrassed to show off.
Soon, Jiuer's face turned visibly pink.
The woman heaved a sigh of relief, "Little girl, you are finally warm."
Jiuer smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I feel much better now."
His face showed no emotion, but his body was burning with rage.
The boatman and his wife had no idea that their good intentions had led to a bad outcome, nor did they know that Jiuer was suffering doubly great pain.
I just feel that Jiuer is lovable no matter how I look at her, but I don't want to ask too much about her.
It was Jiuer who spoke first after she finished her soup, "Uncle and aunt, have you seen any strangers going out to sea in the past few days?"
The boatman waved his hand and said, "No. Little girl, don't even think about it. Not to mention the last few days, the sea has been quiet since the first snow fell more than 20 days ago. We old fishermen can't go out to sea, let alone others."
Jiuer thought to herself that it seemed that she had indeed arrived earlier than Duan Rong's men.
After all, I took a shortcut.
Of course the boatman still remembered Jiuer's question to him before about whether he had a boat going out to sea.
Seeing her hesitate, he quickly said, "Little girl, you really can't go out to sea at this time. All the sea areas here are collectively called Wuhai Sea Area."
"The Wuhai Sea is not like other seas. It is dangerous at ordinary times, let alone in this harsh winter weather. Little girl, please give up the idea."
Jiuer licked her lips to hide the burning pain in her body. She tilted her head slightly and said seriously, "I can't help it. My sister has been captured. She is imprisoned on an island in the Wuhai Sea. I have to go save her."
When she said this, the boatman and his wife were stunned and then took a deep breath.
"But by pirates?"
"I guess so. He's a very, very powerful pirate."
The boatman and his wife didn't know what to say, but, "Even if you, a little girl, get out to sea safely and find your sister, how can you save her from the vicious pirates?"
Jiuer smiled and said, "But I came here specifically to save my sister. I can't just ignore her."
"Uncle and aunt, the people in your fishing village make their living by the sea all year round, so there must be special circumstances where they have to go out to sea even in dangerous seasons. I believe there must be such a boat and capable people in the village. Could you introduce them to me and let me ask them if they can take me out to sea?"
"Of course, I will pay them a price and remuneration that they are satisfied with. I will also do my best to protect their safety."
To be honest, it is enough to make people laugh when a delicate little girl who seems to be blown down by the wind says this.
But when Jiuer said it, the boatman and his wife thought it was natural at first.
When they came to their senses, they felt extremely weird.
The boatman goes out to sea all year round and is a man of some experience.
He immediately became suspicious, "Little girl, please forgive us for being so presumptuous, but I don't know if you..."
Jiuer gave them a sincere smile, "I am a doctor."
She stretched out her soft white little hand, deliberately exaggerating and waving her claws, "They are the kind of evil doctors, witch doctors, poison doctors that people talk about, the kind that are particularly powerful and evil. Are you afraid?"
The boatman and his wife were stunned for a moment and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They just thought she was cute.
Seeing that they didn't take it seriously, Jiu'er held the woman's hand and said, "Aunt, you caught a cold last year, which affected your fertility. But you are still young, only thirty-two. I will prescribe you a prescription. If you trust me, follow my prescription and drink it for a month, the cold in your body will be eliminated."
The woman didn't understand at first, or even if she understood she didn't react.
When I finally realized what was happening, my first reaction was a little shy.
I am already old, so I will be laughed at for giving birth to a pearl.
Then the muscles on his face began to tremble, and the corners of his lips quivered.
"Girl, you, you mean me, I can still, can..."
She couldn't believe it.
Jiuer nodded affirmatively, "Of course. You have a very good physical foundation. This is not a big deal."
"But unfortunately I left in a hurry and didn't bring any pills with me. You can only take the Chinese medicine slowly."
This time, not only her, but also the boatman became excited.
Although they are a loving couple, they have no children, which is a bit lonely and regrettable.
As for whether Jiuer was bragging or not, they really had no doubt at all!
I just feel convinced...
When the two finally calmed down from their joy, the boatman and his wife liked Jiuer even more.
Naturally, I was even more worried about her.
"As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless, let alone the sea, which is full of dangers. Girl, even if you have great medical skills, you can't..."
Faced with Jiuer's expectant eyes, I couldn't say any words of advice.
But in the end, Jiuer was not allowed to go out in this weather. Instead, they invited an experienced seafarer who had the sturdiest and best boat in the village.
He was also a middle-aged man with firm brows and sharp eyes.
Jiuer could tell at a glance that this man's hands definitely had blood on them.
The man didn't show any surprise when he saw Jiu'er, a pretty girl who seemed out of place in this place. He just said, "I heard you were going to sea?"
Jiuer nodded, "I wonder what this gentleman would like to get me to go out to sea?"
The man looked at Jiuer again and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Jiuer smiled, "I am."
"Then come with me."
Jiuer got up and followed him without asking any questions.
The boatman and his wife were worried, so they all followed.
Jiuer was taken to that man's house and was not asked to do anything else except to treat his father.
The boatman's wife quietly told Jiuer that this man's father had been bedridden for many years and suddenly became paralyzed. They had not seen him for a long time.
Jiuer expressed her understanding.
Jiuer was invited to the ward alone. When she saw the old man on the bed, she realized at a glance that he was not paralyzed, but poisoned!
If it really becomes paralysis, it won't happen overnight.
Poisoning is actually easy to explain!
The poison in the old man's body was not the common kind, but it was not difficult for Jiuer.
Half an hour later, Jiuer came out and said with a smile, "Sir, the patient has woken up. However, due to lying in bed for too long, his limbs and mobility have deteriorated, so he needs to stay in bed for a few days to recuperate."
"I'll prescribe a prescription for you to take. Take the medicine according to the prescription for a few days. At least, before we go out to sea, the patient can walk normally."
The middle-aged man glanced at her and ran inside, coming out quickly, with the serious expression on his face finally showing some cracks.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiuer was almost trembling.
But when people are in the world, they all have a tacit understanding.
Jiuer didn't ask him how an old man from a small fishing village could be poisoned by such an uncommon and powerful poison. The man didn't ask who Jiuer was and how he could detoxify such a poison in such a short time!
That’s how the problem of going out to sea is solved.
The boatman and his wife tried to persuade Jiuer to stay.
Three days later, when Uncle Gu, the father of the middle-aged man that Jiuer found, was able to get out of bed and move around, all the personnel and materials needed for going to sea were ready.
Although Jiuer did not bring up the matter of Emperor Cangyu, she revealed the possible dangers of "pirates" without any concealment.
Uncle Gu did not back down, and neither did the sailors who were willing to go to sea.
It's nothing else.
It’s just that the reward Jiuer gave was enough, and they worked hard and took risks to fish just to have a meal.
So the transaction with Jiuer was just a mutual one, and Jiuer was the employer.
Three days later, after bidding farewell to the reluctant boatman and his wife, Jiuer, Uncle Gu and others boarded the ship - and set out to sea!
