344, [Strange disease and pirates]

The one who had just asked about Nian Jing picked up his wine bowl, took a sip, then pursed his lips hard, and tried his best to get the taste buds to grab every trace of the wine smell. Looking at this greedy and careful appearance, he was a person who liked this mouthful.

He only heard him speak loudly at Fang Chang and the other brown-dressed man on the table:

"It's a good thing to have a good year. I heard that the Central Plains is not peaceful now. In that case, no matter how good the harvest is, it cannot be called a good year. If the year is not good, it will naturally be difficult and difficult to live. Even if the Central Plains is a fairyland that we can't imagine, it will not be very comfortable in the years and months of unevenness."

The other person next to Fang Chang nodded and said with concern:

"I'm afraid that the situation in the Central Plains will spread. Although the East China Sea is vast, it is too weak after all. It belongs to the same world as the Central Plains and is already one."

"So what? You can only count on one day." The loud voice was a little open-minded, so the three of them laughed, picked up the wine bowl and touched the ground gently, took a big sip, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and pressed the flaming smell of alcohol in their mouths.

"Where is my brother?"

The person who spoke was a man in brown clothes. He and the people who were loud on the other side were fishermen. This time, they were selling goods here to drink some wine and rest. They were not from this island, but they would come here to sell goods because the island was prosperous and crowded, so they could sell at a price.

Moreover, after changing the money, they can easily exchange it for various supplies needed by their homes, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles, thread and cloth, thimbles, pots and pans, and even brooms and dustpans. They often have to bring a portion to their neighbors, and when they go back, they will exchange them in barter.

After all, although there are grocery merchants marching around the islands, the cost will be higher and slightly more expensive. The living environment in the East China Sea is slightly harsh. In this case, the people will be more saved, and it will be a little bit easier.

The loud voice lifted the bowl? She took a sip and replied: "I am from Heijiao Island."

"Oh? Is my brother from Black Reef Island?" said the brown-clad fisherman, "What you do recently is very famous? Can it be called Yidao? And accept my respect." After saying that, he brought the bowl toast, and then took a big sip on himself.

Hearing this? Fang Chang was a little curious, and he asked, "I don't know what happened on the Black Reef Island?"

The brown-clad fisherman turned his head and looked at Fang Chang? asked, "Is this guy from another place? He doesn't even know what has been such a sensation recently."

Fang Chang smiled and said, "I am from the Central Plains? This is my first time to go to the East China Sea."

"Oh no wonder, but I'm so brave enough to enter this deep for the first time." Relieving the doubts, the brown-clothed fisherman retreated his gaze? Half was explaining to Fang Chang? Half was repeating what happened on the Black Reef Island: "About half a year ago, several residents of the Black Reef Island suddenly had a strange disease. They were very sick and were about to die. The family was ready to give up."

"At this time, when the people on the island gathered together, they simply raised a large sum of money and invited doctors to treat them from outside. So they survived most of them. To be honest, this kind of thing is rare on the islands in the East China Sea, so after the incident spread, everyone who heard it praised it."

Fang Chang nodded? He praised: "It's really good."

The loud voice man was listening to it all the time? When the man in brown clothes talked about the story of Black Reef Island, he was a little proud and embarrassed. Seeing that Fang Chang had heard the whole story, he quickly spoke up and said:

"In fact, the difficulty is not raising funds. As long as everyone reaches a consensus, it is quite convenient. After all, everyone's family background is similar, and the amount that can be taken out is also close. In the words of the scholar on the island next to the Black Reef Island, 'People must help themselves and God helps them', the part we spend more effort is not to raise money, but to let these families live a self-help heart first."

"You don't know that their families were going to give up. After all, this disease came quickly and fiercely, and its appearance was scary. Both the patients and the families of the patients were already discouraged and had already begun to prepare for their funeral. The families on our island are poor, and no one wants to bet whether they can save their lives and end up ruining their families."

"Even the villagers raised the money, they didn't mention this tone, saying that they could not let everyone pay the money, otherwise the person might not be able to save them, and everyone became poor. Everyone has done this, how could they agree? They selected a few eloquent middle-aged women and persuaded them for two days before they could make them thrive. Alas."

His voice became louder and louder, and he shook his head and his head shaking when he arrived. Fortunately, the spirits in front of him were still attractive. The loud voice quickly focused on the wine bowl and sucked it gently.

"I heard from your description that this disease occurs together. Will it continue to be infected?" Fang Chang asked.

The loud voice shook his head and said, "No, everyone started to panic together, but later they found out that it was just like that, and gradually lost their fear and became bolder."

"Fortunately, only the first time that people had an illness, and no one got it again. There are so many strange and unfamiliar diseases in the East China Sea, and there is no shortage of this kind. The doctor did not give the final reason, but just prescribed medicine based on the symptoms."

The man in brown clothes next to him nodded and agreed: "Yes, there are many people who die of illness every year. Fortunately, the boat route is convenient now. As long as there are one or two small boats on the island and take a boat to a large island with doctors, it will be a possible way to live."

Then, their topic came to the pirates among the islands.

For fishermen, pirates are still terrible, but not particularly terrible.

After all, there are not many things on the fishing boats, and there are very limited things that can be stolen. When encountering pirates during the fishing journey, although they can't run away, at most they will lose some of the catches that consume energy. Although the pirates kill people without blinking and even enjoy them, they often open up the gaps to these ordinary people who are not rich and do not kill too much.

For fishermen, they have the same motto as on land, "The more you use your strength, you will never use it", so just stay for a few more days and go online.

In comparison, when I brought all kinds of groceries on the return trip, I felt even more distressed when I met pirates.
