81 Medicine King Island
◎ Song Jinyi almost blurted out "rob money".◎
In the middle of the vast ocean, the waves are blue and the sky and water are one color. The morning light appears on the horizon, and the rosy glow falls on the sea, like a spread of brocade, magnificent.
At the end of the field of vision, faint white shadows appeared. They were fishing boats going out to sea to fish. The flags on the masts were fluttering, rustling in the wind.
Song Jinyi was sitting on an inconspicuous little boat, stroking her hair. She usually didn't like to wear her hair in a bun, and only used a hairpin to tie it up.
Unfortunately, she was not a good landlubber and had no idea how strong the sea breeze was. When the wind blew, all the hair that fell behind her shoulders flew into her face, causing her to utter "Pooh" several times and spit out the hair that had gotten into her mouth.
A pair of slender, jade-like hands with distinct joints tamed her unruly long hair and tied it into a high bun for her. He said softly, "Sister, the wind is strong at the seaside, it's better like this."
Warm breaths slowly fell on her head, and Song Jinyi felt a strange emotion suddenly surge in her heart. The sea breeze blew on her cheeks, and her face turned red.
She turned her head somewhat at a loss, and saw Li He who was looking angry at the side, so she turned over and asked her why she was unhappy.
Li He subconsciously glanced at Xie Wuyang and said vaguely, "No."
The sea breeze blew in waves, and Song Jinyi felt a headache. Song Yunting was weak and didn't want to get sick, so he asked the remaining three to go back to the cabin to rest.
With nothing to do in the guest room, she couldn't help but think of some trivial things that happened when she set out.
"How about Sister Ruolan staying to look after the store?"
Although Xu Ruolan had no objection, Song Jinyi could see that she was unwilling.
Needless to say, the reason was that when Xu Ruolan was left alone to look after the store, she was framed. The guilt and helplessness she felt would not dissipate with the passage of time.
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
But Xu Ruolan also understood that Song Jinyi had to leave for Yaowang Island, and it would be most appropriate for her to stay.
Moreover, this trip to treat the disease might take ten days or half a month, but it's hard to say whether it will take one or two months. We can't just go there and close the shop for this.
Xu Ruolan was sensible, but she still couldn't stop worrying in her heart.
Even if the incident on Yaowang Island had not happened, she hoped that Xu Ruolan could let go of her worries and stand on her own.
"Look, you went to Chuzhou and quietly recruited five franchisees. Honestly, I might not be able to do as well as you did. Now, just looking after a small shop is as easy as pie for you.
"You've actually done pretty well before, but it's hard to guard against villains when you're on guard day and night. It's all their fault, how can you be blamed?"
Faced with Song Jinyi's sincere heart and her trusting eyes, Xu Ruolan's "but" was stuck in her throat and she finally swallowed it.
Song Jinyi patted her shoulder in a comforting and encouraging manner, "I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself too."
Escaping will not solve the problem, the only way is to face it.
When she thought of this, she turned around suddenly and looked sideways at the empty room, hoping that this time, Cha Yuan would be safe and sound, and Sister Ruolan would be able to successfully let go of her worries.

The road to Yaowang Island is not close, and it takes a day and a night to travel by water.
There are very limited things that can be taken on board, and even less edible food.
When ordinary fishing boats go out to sea, they just bring some Hu pancakes with plain water, and that is their meal. If the boatman's wife is diligent, she will pickle a few salted fish in advance and bring them as a meal.
Song Jinyi couldn't eat this dry pancake, and she couldn't accept this stinky salted fish either.
No matter how hard life Song Jinyi was in, she couldn't let her stomach suffer. She brought some rice and fresh meat with her when she came, which came in handy now.
There is a small kitchen in the fishing boat. The boatman usually cooks some simple meals when he goes out to sea. The utensils in the kitchen are also barely complete. She assigned Li He to cook the rice.
She fried the fish-free meat with fat and white fat in the frying pan. As soon as the white fat came into contact with the heat, it sizzled impatiently and turned brown. The bright oil soaked the entire iron pan.
Song Jinyi sprinkled spices and poured a little soy sauce on it for color. When the soup was concentrated, the edges of the pork belly softened slightly and curled up, absorbing the soup well.
She poured the fried meat sauce on the rice. The snow-white rice was immediately made red and oily by the soy sauce-colored meat sauce, which greatly increased people's appetite. It was simply perfect.
A gentle sip of the tender meat sauce fills your mouth with a rich aroma, and the meat is firm but not fatty. Each bite should be mixed with hot white rice. The aroma of the sauce and meat blends evenly with the rice, instantly dyeing the pearly white rice an attractive soy sauce color.
Delicious! I feel like I could have two more bowls of rice.
Even the boatman at the bow smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but run over, staring at them eagerly.
Song Jinyi waved her hand generously and invited the boatman to have dinner together. A large bowl of rice with meat sauce was cleared in an instant.
Song Jinyi, Xie Wuyang, and Song Yunting finished a bowl of rice and did not eat any more. Only Li He and the boatman had a great appetite and were serving their rice "ping pong pong", fearing that they would eat less if they were late.
Finally, the boatman put down his chopsticks with a sense of satisfaction, touched his slightly protruding belly and said, "I have never eaten such a delicious meal in my life."
The other party praised her frankly, so Song Jinyi couldn't help but be polite to him.
When Song Jinyi turned around, she noticed that Song Yunting's face was pale, and he was holding his chest, looking very uncomfortable. She stepped forward and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
Song Yunting murmured softly, "I feel uncomfortable, my head hurts, and I feel nauseous."
When Song Jinyi heard him say that he felt nauseous, she thought there was something wrong with the food, but except him, no one else had any symptoms.
The boatman was experienced and could tell at a glance that Song Yunting was seasick. He took out a handful of ginger and cut two slices of ginger. "This is a folk remedy. Holding this in your mouth can cure seasickness."
Song Jinyi took the ginger slices and fed them to Song Yunting. After a while, his expression eased.
The boatman then asked who was still seasick and asked them to put two pills in their mouths in advance.
Li He didn't know if she would get seasick, but seeing Song Yunting looking so uncomfortable, she also asked for two slices. When she took a bite of the ginger slices, they were so spicy that she could only stick out her tongue.
Song Jinyi boasted that she had a good physique and would never get seasick, so she didn't ask for ginger slices. Unexpectedly, she was slapped in the face in the evening, and her seasickness became like a wilted cabbage.
That night, the sea breeze stirred up layers of waves, playing with the small boat in its hands.
It was like a pirate ship in an amusement park, and it made Song Jinyi's stomach churn. In the end, she rushed out, held onto the boat pole, and vomited for a long time.
In the end, she vomited so much that she felt weak. Fortunately, Xie Wuyang heard the noise, came out and supported her, otherwise she almost fell into the sea.
Seeing that it was Xie Wuyang, Song Jinyi relaxed completely and sat down on the side of the boat. Xie Wuyang squatted in front of her and put the ginger slice to her lips. "Sister, it will feel better if you suck on this."
Song Jinyi felt dizzy and held the ginger slice on the tip of her tongue. The spicy taste of the ginger slice instantly burst into her mouth, stimulating her eyes to ooze tears.
After a while, she felt much better, but she had no strength in her body, so she could only stand up with the help of Xie Wuyang.
Just then, a huge wave came and pushed the fishing boat forward. She lost her balance and bumped into Xie Wuyang's arms. She felt his body stiffen.
She was about to push him away when he embraced her. She heard him say, "The wind and waves are too strong, sister. I'll carry you back."
Xie Wuyang spoke frankly, and hadn't done anything out of line, but it inexplicably made her blush. She was secretly thankful that no one could see them in the dark. After a moment's thought, she relaxed her tense body, resting her forehead against his chest.
Suddenly, the fierce sea breeze felt soft.
*****
The next day, the boat arrived at Yaowang Island. Song Jinyi paid the fare and the group disembarked. They saw that Yaowang Island was a large island with lush trees, mountains and forests, thousands of houses covered with willows, and several towering mountains.
Walking in, you can see farmers hunched over to plow the fields. The square green fields are as refreshing as a bowl of Biluochun. The roads are connected, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard. It looks like a paradise.
Song Jinyi asked the old ladies who were peeling water chestnuts about the whereabouts of the Medicine Fairy.
After getting the answer, the group went up the mountain along a small path to the east.
After walking for about half an hour, I saw a courtyard gate. Standing at the gate was a young man with immature eyebrows and eyes, dressed in plain clothes. He was holding a ladle in his hand to water the medicinal fields. When he heard the sound, his round black eyes looked over.
Judging from his appearance, he was about the same age as Li He. Song Jinyi guessed that he must be a medicine boy, so she went forward to ask where the doctor was.
"What do you want with him?"
Song Jinyi said that they had come a long way to seek a famous doctor to cure their stubborn illness and asked him to introduce them to her.
The young man smiled strangely and asked her a question, "Madam, what do you think the immortal master you are looking for should look like?"
Song Jinyi frowned and remained silent for a while, wondering in her heart, what kind of question is this?
She had only asked Mr. Feng about his medical skills and address. Who would care about what the doctor looked like? She thought for a moment and said, "Of course he should have white hair and a youthful face, with an immortal-like appearance."
The young man said with a smile: "Unfortunately, my humble name, Yu Dongqing, is the doctor you are looking for. I am not old, and I have neither the appearance of an immortal nor the character of a Taoist."
Song Jinyi stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. Was it really him? He was younger than her, so how could he be the immortal master that Old Feng had mentioned? She thought about it carefully and realized that, on such a large island, there was no way there could be only one doctor.
The real immortal master must be someone else.
Perhaps the other party guessed her thoughts and added, "He is also the only doctor on Yaowang Island."
Song Jinyi was stunned for a moment. Although he had doubts in his heart, he was very receptive. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. "We have come all the way from Yunzhou to ask for the immortal master to heal my stubborn illness."
"You can see me. The consultation fee is one hundred taels." The man extended a clean white hand.
One hundred taels!
Song Jinyi almost blurted out the word "robbing money".
In Yunzhou, seeing a doctor would cost a dozen coins for a minor illness or dozens of coins for a serious one, and a house call would only cost one or two taels of silver.
This man asked for one hundred taels right away, which was really shocking.
But she only brought a hundred taels with her. What would she do? The island was remote, and fishing boats didn't come every day. It was too late to turn back.
What should I do?
