Great Song Pirate

Chapter 356
But Xu Yi was not in the mood to care about these things anymore, because he had been staying by Gong Zhen's bedside for the past two days, making various efforts for his life together with Doctor Yang.

When Xu Yi drove back the immigrants from Shibalidian with his people, he turned back to the stockade, but he heard a news that worried him. The people sent to look for Gong Zhen came back, and brought Gong Zhen back. , but it was carried back to the stockade lying down.

Gong Zhen led some people upstream to select materials. When cutting wood, he was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake. His calf was swollen like a shiny purple eggplant. When he came back, he was already hot and unconscious. Look, this pain in Xu Yi's heart!

He has known Gong Zhen for a long time, and Gong Zhen left a deep impression on him. This person usually doesn't talk much, and his mind is full of shipbuilding. Even after he knew his identity, he volunteered to lead a group of Help the shipbuilder, followed to this barren land, for what?Xu Yi thought about it, and felt that he had two purposes. One was to thank himself for helping the shipwrights when they were in trouble. He wanted to repay himself. The other was that he had a fanatic in his heart His belief is to build the best boat in the world, but now he is lying on the bed with no water for almost two days.

Yang Hong had no choice but to put down what he was doing, and devoted himself to the treatment of Gong Zhen according to Xu Yi's request. Fortunately, when Gong Zhen was bitten by a poisonous snake, there was someone beside him who knew a little bit of common sense of first aid, and he was wounded above the calf. Tie it up tightly with a cloth strip, and cut open his wound with a knife, releasing some poisonous blood. If it weren't for this, Gong Zhen would have died long ago, but even so, he was still unconscious due to the residual toxin , was carried back to Danshui Village.

The medicinal soup was forcibly poured down his throat again and again, and the snake medicine was constantly replaced on the wound. Xu Yi also got some wine, and asked people to rub his body over and over again to physically cool him down. Finally, After the third day, Gong Zhen woke up from the coma.

After he opened his eyes, the first face he saw clearly was Xu Yi's. Gong Zhen struggled to get up and greet Xu Yi, but Xu Yi immediately pressed him on the bed.

"You are like this, why are you still getting up? You boat idiot! When is it now, you still want to build a boat? Why don't you wait for some time to do these things? Lie down! Hurry up and give me your body Well, I'm still waiting to get on the good boat you personally built for me!" Xu Yi reprimanded Gong Zhen with a tone of complaint and distress.

Gong Zhen tried his best to smile and opened his mouth, only made a few hoarse hissing voices, but he didn't speak. Suddenly, a look of fear appeared in Gong Zhen's eyes, and Yang Hong came over and opened his mouth , looked at his throat, brought some water to feed him, turned to Xu Yi and said, "It's all right! My life is saved, I think there will be no problem in ten days, and I will be alive and kicking again! Now he Just recovering a little bit, I still can't speak, my tongue is still a little swollen, and it takes two days to recover when I can speak, this poisonous snake is really powerful!"

After hearing that Gong Zhen was fine, Xu Yixin finally put it in his stomach, patted Gong Zhen with a smile and said, "You have a big tongue now, so stop talking, take a good rest, and think about you when you're better." It's about shipbuilding!"

Because Gong Zhen couldn't speak, he was so frightened to death that he thought he was dumb after being bitten by a snake this time. After hearing what they said, he was relieved. It turned out that his tongue was still swollen, no wonder he couldn't speak!When he looked at Xu Yi again, there was a smile in his eyes.

The methods they adopted to control the disease really worked. Pieces of thatch were burned out by the fire, pieces of mud ponds were filled with soil, and all places that could accumulate water were cleaned up, sprinkled with quicklime, and harvested. The bitter wormwood that came here was constantly smoked, and the densely packed Anopheles mosquitoes near Danshuizhai died in large numbers, and the number was also greatly reduced. When people walked in the wild, they no longer felt the mosquitoes hitting their faces. The situation has also begun to be brought under control, with fewer and fewer people suffering from the disease, and after insisting on taking the potion made of Artemisia annua introduced by Linjiacun, some people with the disease have less and less times of swaying. Those with mild symptoms can already return to their previous resettlement sites.

After seeing someone being cured and sent back to the resettlement site, the panic among these immigrants gradually eased, and everyone understood another truth. The Fubo Army did not lie to them, and did as they ordered. It is true that the development of the epidemic can be controlled. Driven by this understanding, people began to change from forced obedience to active assistance, so the burning of wasteland and filling pits proceeded faster.

To be honest, in this rainy place, it is really not easy to burn a lot of wasteland. Often the grass is not dry, and it will be poured again after a rain, but this can't stop people's enthusiasm for burning wasteland. As long as the sun is out, I will try my best to set the grass on fire, and the smoky smell will permeate everywhere, not to mention mosquitoes, and even people will be suffocated. Many small animals in the grass are surrounded by people like this. Under the tossing and tossing of them, they will either die in the fire, or move the whole family away from this place that makes them restless.

Under the idea of ​​a wise man, the excavation of ditches has begun vigorously here. Isn't there a lot of rain here?As soon as some potholes were filled, new puddles appeared immediately. It was not an option to keep filling them in this way, so someone suggested that it is better to dig a large number of ditches here. When it rains, the rainwater will flow into the ditches and be drained directly. Going to the river can greatly reduce the accumulated water on the ground, and it can also be conveniently irrigated when farming in the future. Xu Yi heard that this idea is good, so he immediately ordered Gao Xu to dig ditches everywhere, inadvertently fighting The war against the plague resulted in a set of irrigation networks with ravines extending in all directions, which can be regarded as an accidental gain from the battle against the plague, which laid a good foundation for the developed farming here in the future.

As the epidemic was brought under control, various projects in Danshui Village were resumed, and the immigrants in the resettlement sites also began to plow the land they had been allocated. The immigrants from the north and the south were resettled together. They were taught by the southerners, and rice fields began to form in blocks, and Xu Yi finally felt relieved.

This plague was not a small one. Although they tried their best to control it, nearly a thousand people died. These people became the first batch of victims who opened up the Danshui River Basin of Liuqiu Island, and their bones were buried here forever. Some members of the Fubo army and some craftsmen who arrived first, Xu Yi stood in front of a grave, sighed deeply, and threw a lot of paper money into the fire, thinking that this is Nature's resistance to human development!

Gao Xu is also a very capable person. He seems to be very handy in handling various government affairs. With his efforts, Danshui Village has formed a set of junior management. Now those resettlement sites have also begun to become permanent villages, which will soon become the main food supply place for the Fubo army. The immigration that was temporarily suspended due to the epidemic will resume operation after the epidemic is brought under control. up.

Xu Yi made a special trip to Linjiacun, expressed his gratitude to the old and young of Linjiacun for helping them fight the epidemic, and sent a lot of things they needed to Linjiacun, and Linjiacun The new patriarch also expressed his willingness to obey the Fubo Army's dispatch in the future, and handed over a dozen young men in their village to Xu Yi, letting them join the Fubo Army and serve Xu Yi.

The people in their Lin Family Village saw the strength of the Fubo Army from the large-scale construction of the village by the Fubo Army. They were able to mobilize thousands of people here at every turn, and took in over [-] immigrants in a few months. People with strong strength will never be able to accomplish this kind of thing, and after being attacked by pirates last time, they also know that this place is no longer a paradise where they can stand aloof from the world, and they must choose to cling to Only the Fubo Army can continue to survive and multiply in this land, so they are also sincere in joining the Fubo Army this time, without any falsehood.

Of course Xu Yi was happy to see this situation happen, so he readily accepted their attachment and accepted the dozen or so villagers they sent. Xu Yi is also very grateful for the efforts Lin Family Village has made for them this time. I am grateful, if not relying on their experience, I am afraid that he might really be defeated by these mosquitoes this time when he established Danshui village. The Lin family village has contributed a lot to this matter, but he also knows that he planted this If he hadn't led people to rescue the people of Linjia Village from danger, I am afraid that today's victory against the plague would not have been achieved. I am afraid that this is what the Buddhists say. Let’s talk about the karma of evil retribution!
While Xu Yi was busy in Danshui Village, Jilong Village was also busy. The road leading to Carboniferous Valley was finally completed, and a large number of migrant workers began to turn into coal mining workers. Thanks to Xu Yi's benefits at the beginning, all the affairs of the Charcoal Valley were handed over to Wang Hong. Since then, Wang Hong has also entered the management of Fubo Army and has become a member who can speak in Jilongzhai.

After a lot of busy work, Cao Xian and Qian Gui also took six boats, loaded them with goods, left Jilongzhai, drove all the way to the coastal waterway, and started their journey along the coastline. Expedition to the south.

But the busiest one is Tiezuo headed by Qin Huzi. A group of people gather together every day to figure out how to make a large drill bit. They have never done this kind of thing before. The drill bit is not a problem, but they can't figure out how to keep such a long drill bit on the same axis, stably penetrate into the already cast gun bore, and keep the center line of the gun bore from shifting. And Qin Huzi and Ren Bin couldn't tell others about this matter, so they could only think of a solution together.
