Eighty-fourth bowl of soup (seven)

Their journey was calm until one day Lance suddenly came back from injury. It was his turn to buy daily necessities that day. It was originally supposed to be with him, but on the street, he met a woman kneeling at the door of the pharmacy with a child in her arms and begging the boss to help her. As a doctor, Joe naturally couldn't stand it and refused to save her. They had done this kind of thing alone many times, but what he didn't expect was that when he returned to the boat, Lance had not come back yet!

Just as they were about to get off the boat to find him, Lance came back. His face turned red and his breathing was rapid. His right hand was pressed tightly on his abdomen. His white shirt was covered with blood. He was seriously injured. After examination, Joe found that the wound and bleeding were not a problem. The biggest problem was that Lance was poisoned. The weapon that injured him was poisoned and must be detoxified immediately, otherwise his limbs would be paralyzed and his whole body would be ruined after a long time!

However, the medical equipment on board was not enough for surgery—most importantly, they lacked a detoxification medicine.

This medicine is called Blue Leaf Flower, and it is only available in the Cons Empire, which is far away from here.

It was Nick's homeland, and it was also a place where he had never returned for ten years.

Qinghuan didn't know what happened in the past. All she learned was the news that Nick was a traitor who colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country. The people of the Kingdom of Cons once admired him and now how much they resented and hated him. Nick's wanted orders were posted all over the streets and alleys. If they went to the Kingdom of Cons, they would have to land. The guards of the Kingdom were strictly inspected. Although they did not make any requests for foreign ships to dock, they had to check them carefully.

However, blue-leaf flowers are only available on a mountain outside the capital of the Cons Empire that is like spring all year round. Moreover, there is still a flowering period after picking, and it will wither within three days. If you have to wait outside the border of the Cons Empire, rush to the capital from the border to pick blue-leaf flowers and come back, there will definitely be no time to go back and forth. In that case, even if Lance can live, he will completely become a useless person.

Qinghuan sat by the bed, changing into a soaked towel for Lance again and again, while Joe treated the wound on his abdomen, while Owen and Nick were arguing: "Are you crazy? Go back to that place, are you desperate for your life?"

"Talk, I'm the captain, I have the final say."

"You want to die and don't drag us down!" Owen's usual smile disappeared and he said angrily, "If you are discovered, we can't escape. Can't you listen to others?"

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

"There will not be life-threatening for the time being. But we don't have much time. Ten days, at most ten days, if we can't get the Blue Leaf Flower within ten days, he will..." Qiao didn't say the rest, but everyone understood. The atmosphere in the cabin was solemn, and they were happy when they docked in the morning. Who knew that it would become like this as soon as they came back. "Nick, I think Irving is right. You can't go, let's go, you are waiting to pick us up outside the border of the Cons Empire. The Blue Leaf Flower is the National Flower of the Cons Empire, which is very precious, and it will be very troublesome if you appear."

Nick pursed his thin lips without saying a word. Qinghuan noticed that the joints of his fingers holding the hilt were slightly white. You can imagine what kind of pain and depression there was in his heart. For Nick, it should be a past that he was very reluctant to recall. "Let's go together."

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

"Can you kill Lance?" Qinghuan pointed to the wound on Lance, "Joe said the other party should have deliberately avoided the key points."

"you mean……"

"I have read several medical books by Joe. This is what I said when I mentioned the Blue Leaf Flower. The leaves are highly poisonous and the petals can detoxify. Since the Blue Leaf Flower is a unique plant of the Cons Empire, the poison in Lance must also come from the Cons Empire." She looked at Nick, and he looked at Lance who was unconscious on the bed with a deep eyes. "They should be trying to force Nick to return to China."

"Then it can't be as they wish!" Owen said in a deep voice, "Even if Miss Qinghuan said it, I can't agree to let Nick return to China!"

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

Nick said lightly: "It's been so many years, and it's time to end. I don't die so easily. Don't worry, we'll change the course now." Then he said to Qing Huan, "I'm sorry, the matter of sending you home may have to be delayed for a while."

"It's okay." Qing Huan smiled, "I want you guys to send me home together, and no one can be missing."

Owen had to object again, Qinghuan took the initiative to pull his hand, and he suddenly collapsed all over, looking at Qinghuan with his eyes, forgetting all principles and persistence. Qinghuan kissed him affectionately and said softly: "This is the captain's business, let the captain decide for himself, okay?"

Owen's bones were crispy: "Okay~~~"

Qiao: "..." Then what is the meaning of your previous persistence?!

"Then let's make a decision. Change your course to the Cons Empire first. After picking the blue leaf flowers, cure Lance, and then go to the east together." Qing Huan took off the towel on Lance's forehead and washed it, wrung it out and covered it, showing a gentle smile: "I don't want this trip to end so soon."

Everyone looked at Nick. Nick took a few steps back when they saw him, sweating in cold sweat: "What are you doing!"

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

Anyone can do such a thing, but Nick will never. Even if Irving thinks Nick looks very annoying, lazy, and loves to sleep, has a bad temper, but this guy is a real good guy.

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

"Then let's talk about it for a long time. At least we have a clear idea. When Joe said that you were going to die when he met you, why are the people from the Cons Empire still looking for you?" This is something that Joe couldn't understand. To deal with a traitor who assassinated the emperor, it is certainly necessary to kill Nick, but it is not like this, right? The wanted order can be issued, and the guards who chased him can be dispatched as usual, but this attitude of not giving up is not like a justice sanction, but rather like a guilty silence.

Nick was so annoyed by them that he had no choice but to tell his own affairs concisely. After hearing this, everyone was stunned. Owen looked at him with a look of respect: "...I didn't expect that our captain was not only a good old man, but also a bad man..." He could endure it when encountering such a thing? He still left silently?! If he had killed the other party long ago!

Nick said impatiently: "It's all said that it's a thing of the past, and I don't want to mention it anymore."

Qinghuan also imagined many possibilities, but she didn't expect the truth to be like this. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "Nick is such a...a great person."

Nick was so angry that he was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that he was angry: "Besides, I have killed you!"

"Ha?! Kill us?! Including Miss Qinghuan?" Owen was furious, "Is this the attitude of being a gentleman? Nick, you idiot, dare to talk to Miss Qinghuan like this, I can't spare you!"

Not long after it was heavy, the two of them started fighting as usual. Joe couldn't stand it and threw two scalpels into the battle. Then Nick and Irving stopped in a daze, one of them was on their heads. Qinghuan pursed her lips and laughed secretly, and from the corner of her eyes saw Lance open her eyes: "Lance! You're awake!"

This fight didn't make a fuss, and no longer scolded. After Lance woke up, he couldn't realize where he was. It was not until he saw a few familiar big faces coming over and sighed sadly: "...why are you?"

??????

What is the reaction???

"Oh." Lance sighed again, "I was injured at least... You guys are calm, it's so annoying that the fools."

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

As soon as he faced Qinghuan, Lance's disgust instantly turned into a smile: "Oh, Miss Qinghuan, I am indeed a little thirsty... Please give me a glass of water."

Qiao helped him up, Qinghuan held a cup of water to feed him water. Irving, who was standing beside him, jealously tucked his handkerchief, "Damn it! I also want to... be fed water like Miss Qinghuan!" What's even more hateful is that Miss Qinghuan actually held the shoulder of that guy Lance with one hand!

After a glass of water, Lance felt his throat improve a little, and then he said annoyedly: "I was careless and I was in the other party's words."

It turned out that after he and Qiao separated, they met an old man who was beaten with a child. There were crowds of people in the vegetable market but no one stood out. There were many onlookers. After Lance stopped the abuser, he was about to help the old man up, but the other party took out a dagger and stabbed him at him with lightning speed. At the same time, the child who had been crying hugged him tightly. He couldn't kill the child and had to leave in a hurry. On the way, he felt dizzy, hot and confused, and he only remembered that he had returned to the boat and then he didn't remember anything.

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

Nick sneered: "Who wants to take care of you such a big trouble."

"Just, do you want Miss Qinghuan to keep holding you and feeding you water and food and twisting towels? I think it's so beautiful!" Owen glared at him.

Qiao also smiled and refused: "Sorry, I don't want a patient I can't cure."

They said it one by one, and Qing Huan smiled with one hand on his chin.

What a group of... gentle people.
