Chapter 615 Asking for help
Yuan Qi?
Where is Yuan Qi?
As soon as I woke up, I was attacked by black-clad pirates. I had no time to think about it. They drifted to this beach, but where was Yuan Qi?
When Zhou Chang thought of Yuan Qi, he became even more panicked.
Fortunately, when I looked around, I found a white figure lying motionless on the beach in the distance.
Zhou Chang hurriedly staggered over and it was indeed Yuan Qi.
Half of Yuan Qi's body was still immersed in the sea water, his eyes were closed, and there was no trace of blood on his face, except for an abnormal flush on his cheeks.
"Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi..." Zhou Chang called out several times but got no response.
Zhou Chang wanted to pick the man up from the water, but he had no strength. In desperation, he had to half drag and half pull the man back to the skinny monkey.
He called out as he walked, but Yuan Qi still didn't respond. He saw that the blood on the skinny monkey's stomach had not yet dried. If Yuan Qi got hurt again...
Zhou Chang didn't dare to think about it at all. He silently told himself to calm down and reached out to feel the artery on his neck.
Fortunately, Yuan Qi's pulse was beating.
Zhou Chang didn't dare to relax and put his face against her forehead again.
Sure enough, Yuan Qi's forehead was burning hot. It must be the high fever that led to his coma.
Zhou Chang went to look at the skinny monkey again. The skinny monkey also had his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
He gently reached out to check the dagger wound in the skinny monkey's body. The dagger didn't seem to be inserted very deep, but he had to find a way to pull it out.
Although Zhou Chang was not a doctor, he had watched TV dramas in his previous life and learned some basic first aid knowledge in college. He knew that pulling out the dagger rashly might cause heavy bleeding, but if he didn't pull out the dagger, it wouldn't last long.
What should I do?
Zhou Chang was desperate and helpless. Not to mention that he was physically exhausted now, even at the best of times, he would not be able to move two people at a time.
However, he couldn't leave either of the two people in front of him behind.
What should I do?
There was no one on the strange beach in winter, and I didn't even know where this place was.
Seeing that the wound on the skinny monkey's stomach had to be treated, I made up my mind and decided to treat it here if it didn't work.
Zhou Chang remembered the dagger that the skinny monkey had just dropped, and went over to pick it up. He then took out a clean inner layer of clothes from his body, tore off a large piece of it, and prepared to use it to stop the bleeding later.
"Monkey..." Zhou Chang swallowed his saliva, which was burning on his throat, and tried to wake up the skinny monkey.
It is best to draw the knife when the injured person is conscious.
However, the skinny monkey didn't react at all.
Zhou Chang patted the thin monkey's face again: "Monkey, monkey... wake up..."
Still no response.
This is not a good sign.
Zhou Chang was filled with despair. He looked at the dagger stuck in his abdomen again and had no confidence at all.
Zhou Chang's soul was trembling. Even though Prince Yi was unconscious, she could not accept losing the skinny monkey.
Absolutely not. I knelt beside the skinny monkey and took a deep breath, forcing myself to recall all the first aid knowledge in my mind, and what to do step by step.
At this moment, suddenly there was a faint sound of human voices coming from a distance.
Zhou Chang suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a group of people dressed as fishermen heading from north to east, seemingly heading towards a huge reef in the opposite direction.
"Help, help..." Zhou Chang didn't even think twice. He jumped up from the ground and ran towards the team frantically.
It doesn’t matter if she can’t breathe, it doesn’t matter if she has no strength, and it doesn’t matter if her throat bleeds. Finally, the team heard her cries and stopped.
Zhou Chang fell to the beach and finally confirmed that it was a group of fishermen. He didn't care about being out of breath and said, "Help, help... Please, help..."
There were six people in that team of fishermen, including two elderly men with gray hair and four young men. They all had simple faces and dark and strong skin.
The first person who appeared to be the oldest was obviously wary. He stepped forward and bent over to ask, "What's wrong with you? If you have something to say, please tell me slowly."
"I, I'm a businessman, and I encountered bandits..." Zhou Chang got up from the ground, and just in case, he made up a lie in a hurry, panting, "The boat capsized... the boat capsized and we are stranded here..., and just now my servant was injured by the bandits, and my wife is unconscious, please... please, help me, help me... I will reward you handsomely later..."
When the fishermen heard the word "water bandits", they became angry and nervous.
One of the middle-aged fishermen said, "Normally, there shouldn't be any pirates in our area at this time of year."
Another fisherman agreed: "Yes, it's the fishing moratorium now. Besides, we are still in Lindong, not even out of northern Vietnam. How dare pirates come ashore?"
The oldest man, however, saw Zhou Chang's hands were covered in blood and his face was pale and weak. He didn't seem to be lying, so he turned around and discussed with the others, "That's right, but there's still a war going on ahead. Who would have expected that a bandit from the Mirage Kingdom would be alone and come here? He seems to be injured too. Let's go over and take a look. It shouldn't be a big deal."
"Thank you, thank you..." Zhou Chang bowed repeatedly. At this moment, he really couldn't say anything else except thank you.
So Zhou Chang turned around and led the way, stumbling all the way back.
The old man who was in the lead was also very cautious. He followed and first went to see the black-clad pirate who was killed by Zhou Chang on the reef, and then came to see Yuan Qi and Shouhou lying on the beach.
Zhou Chang was afraid that he would not be able to gain people's trust, so he begged again and again: "We are really good businessmen, please believe us. If you don't believe us, you can carry the body of this pirate to see the officials. I am here, please save my wife and servants."
As he spoke, he began to feel around all over his body. Except for the jade pendant in his arms, he had nothing else on him. He then touched his head, but the jade crown hadn't fallen off yet, so he reached out to take it off: "I give you this jade crown as a token of my gratitude. Later, I will definitely..."
The old man raised his hand to stop him: "No need. Judging from your accent, you are indeed from my Lin country. As long as you are not a pirate from the Mirage Country, those of us who live by the sea will naturally save you if we can if we catch up with you."
Zhou Chang burst into tears: "Thank you, thank you..."
Afterwards, the old man discussed with the others and went back to find the door panels. He carried Yuan Qi and Shou Hou back to the village first and took full responsibility to place them in his own home.
At the same time, people were dispatched to carry the bodies of the black-clad bandits to an unknown place in the village for temporary storage, and then they sent someone to report to the county and invite a doctor over.
With the help of others, Zhou Chang lifted Yuan Qi and Shou Hou onto two door panels respectively. Although Yuan Qi and Shou Hou were still breathing and had pulses after all the tossing and turning, neither of them woke up.
This made her even more anxious, and she followed the old man all the way. Only then did she realize that there was a fishing village not far from the beach. She was so desperate before that she didn't even see it in her panic.
