Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum Chapter 802: The eighty-fourth bowl of soup (seven)

The eighty-fourth bowl of soup (seven)

Their journey was uneventful until one day Lance returned suddenly injured. It was his turn to buy daily necessities that day. Qiao was supposed to go with him, but on the street, he met a woman who was kneeling at the door of the pharmacy with her child and begging the boss for help. As a doctor, Qiao naturally couldn't wait for help. They've done this kind of thing many times, but what he didn't expect was that when he got back on the boat, Lance hadn't come back!

Just as they were about to disembark to find it, Lance returned. His face was flushed and he was short of breath, his right hand pressed tightly against his abdomen, his white shirt was covered in blood, and he was seriously injured. After Joe's inspection, he found that the wound and the amount of bleeding were not a problem, but the biggest problem was that Lance was poisoned. The weapon that wounded him was poisoned and must be detoxified immediately, otherwise the body and limbs would be paralyzed over time and the whole person would be abolished!

However, the medical equipment on board was insufficient for surgery - most importantly, they lacked the antidote.

This medicine is called blue-leaf flower, and it is only available in the Kangsi Empire, which is far away from here.

That's Nick's homeland, and the place he's escaped from for ten years and hasn't returned.

Qing Huan didn't know what happened in the past. All she knew was that Nick was a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. How much the people of the Kangsi Kingdom once admired and admired him, how much they resented and hated him now. Nick's wanted notices were posted all over the streets and alleys. If they went to the Kingdom of Kongs, they would have to land. The guards of the kingdom were strictly interrogated. Although they did not require foreign ships to dock, they had to check carefully.

But blue-leaf flowers are only found on a mountain that is spring-like all year round outside the capital of the Kors Empire. And this kind of words still have a flowering period after picking, and they will wither within three days. If you want to wait outside the Kongsi Empire, rush from the border to the capital, pick blue-leaf flowers and come back, there will definitely be not enough time for the round trip. In that case, even if Lance could survive, he would be completely useless.

Qing Huan sat on the edge of the bed, changing Lance's soaked towel again and again, while Joe dealt with the wound on his stomach, and Owen and Nick argued on the side: "Are you crazy? Go back to that Where are you going, are you dying?"

"It's long-winded, I'm the captain and I have the final say."

"Don't drag us down if you want to die!" Owen lost his usual smile and said angrily, "If you get caught, we won't be able to escape, can't you just listen to others?"

Nick opened his hand and walked over to the bed: "How is Lance?"

"It won't be life-threatening for the time being. But we don't have much time. Ten days, ten days at most, if he can't get blueleaf flowers within ten days, he will..." Joe didn't say the rest, but everyone understand. The atmosphere in the cabin was dignified. They were happy when they docked in the morning. Who knew it would become like this when they came back. "Nick, I think Owen is right, you can't go, let's go, you are waiting to pick us up outside the Cons Empire's borders. The blue-leaf flower is the national flower of the Cons Empire and is very precious. If you show up, you will It's very troublesome."

Nick pursed his thin lips and said nothing. Qing Huan noticed that the knuckles of his fingers holding the handle of the knife were slightly pale, and he could imagine the pain and depression in his heart. For Nick, that should be a very unwilling to recall the past. "Let's go together."

"Miss Qinghuan?" Owen shouted in shock, "If Nick goes—"

"Is it possible to kill Lance?" Qing Huan pointed to the wound on Lance's body, "Joe said that the other party should have avoided the key point on purpose."

"You mean..."

"I've read several of Joe's medical books, and they said that when blue-leaf flowers are mentioned, the leaves are highly poisonous, and the petals can detoxify. Since blue-leaf flowers are endemic to the Cons Empire, then Lance The poison must also come from the Conce Empire." She looked at Nick, who looked blankly at Lance who was unconscious on the bed, his eyes deep. "They should be trying to force Nick back home."

"Then it can't do what they want!" Owen said in a deep voice, "Even if Miss Qing Huan said it, I can't promise to let Nick go back to China!"

"He has to go back." Qing Huan said calmly, "If he doesn't go back, Lance will die."

Nick said lightly: "It's been so many years, it's time to end. I'm not so easy to die, don't worry, we'll change course now." Then he said to Qinghuan, "I'm sorry, I sent you home Things may be delayed for a while."

"It doesn't matter." Qing Huan smiled, "I want you two to send me home together, none of you can be missing."

Owen wanted to object again, Qing Huan took the initiative to take his hand, and he was suddenly paralyzed, looking at Qing Huan eagerly, forgetting what principles and insistence. Qing Huan kissed his cheek affectionately, and said softly, "This is the captain's business. Let the captain decide for himself, okay."

Owen's bones are crisp: "Okay~~~"

Joe: "..." Then what's the point of your previous persistence? !

"Then it's settled, first change the course to the Kangsi Empire, pick up the blue-leaf flowers and heal Lance, and then we will go to the East together." Qing Huan took the towel off Lance's forehead and washed it. After wringing it dry, put it back on, showing a gentle smile: "I don't want this trip to end so soon."

Everyone looked at Nick, and Nick took a few steps back when they saw him, sweating coldly: "What... what!"

Owen laughed: "Master Captain, we have been sailing on this sea together for ten years. You know everything about us. Now it's time to tell us your story? I don't believe in betraying the motherland and assassinating. The emperor's nonsense."

Anyone can do such a thing, but Nick definitely won't. Even though Irving thinks Nick looks very annoying, lazy and sleepy, grumpy and unpleasant, this guy is a real good guy.

Nick's Adam's apple rolled twice: "...this is a long story."

"Then make a long story short, tell us, anyway, let us have a bottom line. When Joe said that you were going to die when he met you, why are the people of the Kongsi Empire still looking for you?" This is What Joe couldn't understand, to deal with a traitor who assassinated the emperor, of course he should kill Nick, but it shouldn't be like this, right? The wanted order can be issued as is, and the chasing guards can be dispatched as usual, but this attitude of not giving up and not giving up does not seem like a just sanction, but rather like... a guilty conscience.

Nick can't help being annoyed by them, so he can only tell his story concisely. After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Owen looked at him with a look of reverence: "...I didn't expect our captain to be not only a good old man, but also a bad guy..." Can you endure that kind of thing? Still walking away silently? ! In other words, he had already hacked the opponent to death!

Nick said impatiently: "It's all in the past, I don't want to mention it again."

Qing Huan also imagined many possibilities, but really did not expect the truth to be like this. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "Nick is such a... nice guy."

Nick became angry at their teasing: "Besides, I cut you down!"

"Ha?! Killed us?! Including Miss Qinghuan?" Owen suddenly became furious, "Is this the attitude of a gentleman? Nick, you idiot dare to talk to Miss Qinghuan like this, I can't forgive you !”

It didn't take long for the two to fight as usual. Joe couldn't stand it and threw two scalpels into the battle. Then Nick and Owen stopped their hands in shock and put one on each head. Qing Huan pursed her lips and snickered. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Lance open her eyes: "Lance! You are awake!"

I didn't say anything after getting off the fight. Lance didn't realize where he was for a few seconds after he woke up. He sighed sadly until he saw a few familiar faces approaching: "… ...how are you."

? ? ? ? ?

What is this reaction? ? ?

"Hey." Lance sighed again, "I'm injured anyway... You guys stay calm, you've made a lot of noise for the idiots."

"Lance, how are you feeling? Does the wound hurt? Are you hungry? Do you want to drink water?"

Facing Qinghuan, Lance's disgust instantly turned into a smile: "Ah, Miss Qinghuan, I'm really thirsty... Please give me a glass of water."

Qiao helped him up, Qing Huan fed him a cup of water, and Owen, who was looking at him, twisted the handkerchief with envy and jealousy, "Damn! I also want to be fed by Miss Qing Huan so tenderly. !" What's even more hateful is that Miss Qing Huan is still holding Lance's shoulder with one hand!

After a glass of water went down, Lance felt that his throat was better, so he said annoyed: "I was careless, I followed the other party's way."

It turns out that after he separated from Qiao, he met an old man with a child who was beaten. The market was crowded with people, but no one came forward, and there were many onlookers. After Lance stopped the aggressor, he was about to help the old man up, but the other party took out a dagger and stabbed him with lightning speed, while the crying child hugged him tightly. In the end, he failed to kill the child, so he could only leave in a hurry. On the way, he felt dizzy, hot, and confused. He vaguely remembered that he was back on the boat, and then he didn't remember anything.

He heard all the conversations between Nick and the others just now, but his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't keep them open. Now it's much better. Lance said optimistically: "At least there is a way to detoxify. Even if you can't solve it, you won't die. Then you will have to trouble you to take care of me for the rest of your life."

Nick sneered: "Who is going to take care of your trouble."

"I mean, do you want Miss Qing Huan to hold you and feed you, feed you, and twist the towel? It's beautiful!" Owen glared at him.

Joe also smiled and refused: "I'm sorry, I don't want to have a patient I can't cure."

They said each and every one of them, and Qing Huan held her chin with one hand and laughed non-stop.

What a bunch of... gentle people.
