Our island owner is always playing dead

After a good night's rest, the next day, when the housekeeper came to Ye Limo's bed, he found that he was already awake.

After getting up, having breakfast and changing clothes, Ye Limo found a guard named Gogol and old man Hagen.

Both of them were very surprised that the king called so early.

Ye Limo sat them down and said, "Malaria is still raging today. Hagen, I have to reiterate to you that if someone has a fever, let him go to rest immediately and stop working. And, you The supervisor has worked very hard, and if he falls ill, all the projects will stop, so I will hand over the care of the patients to Gogol."

Old Man Hagen and Gogol couldn't help but glanced at each other.

Old man Hagen stood up and said, "I see, Your Majesty, it must be as you said."

The old man Hagen has gray hair and dark skin. He looks like a vicissitudes of life. Ye Limo also feels sorry for him. If he stays in the capital of the empire and continues to live a noble life, he should still be a well-mannered gentleman in fine clothes. , and the appearance will be similar to when he was 30 years old.

After letting old man Hagen leave, Ye Limo explained to Gogol how to isolate malaria patients and prevent the spread of malaria. Gogol was still a little apprehensive, not knowing why such an important task suddenly fell on him.

Seeing that Gogol seemed a little worried that he would not be able to complete this task, Ye Limo said: "Gogol, you have to believe that I chose you for a reason. I found that your uniform is always without a single wrinkle. Gun is light, your clothes are always neat and tidy, and your hair is always meticulous, which shows that you are a careful and patient person. I hope you will continue to use this patience and care in taking care of patients. If you If you need help, you will call women and girls to help you. During the period of looking for medicine, please do your best to control the development of the disease."

Gogol swallowed twice. He thought that he was not the smartest, nor the strongest, so it was difficult to have an opportunity like that of Soler and Poncel. He did not expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

It was a delight that His Majesty the King should have noticed his neat appearance.

Excited, Gogol hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes! Your Majesty! You must fulfill your mission!"

Ye Limo nodded: "I believe in you, after you change your uniform, go to the patient's side!"

After Gogol got the order, he trot excitedly out of Ye Limo's residence.

Ye Limo asked the housekeeper, "Bruce, do you think I chose the right person?"

The steward said, "Of course it's no problem, Your Majesty. Gogol is indeed as patient and careful as you said."

"I hope he will show some momentum and direct other people to work." Ye Limo said.

The kitchen is preparing dry food, and Ye Limo is going to take the guards to the mountains for a few days, and must find the cinchona tree as soon as possible.

The housekeeper also knew that Ye Limo couldn't be persuaded anymore, so he was preparing for the trip.

Although the heat island is in the tropics, its environment is still not as dangerous as the Amazon Basin, but poisonous insects and monsters are also indispensable in the forest, so try to be prepared as much as possible.

After getting ready, Ye Limo set off with the butler and more than a dozen guards.

There is no road to walk on the mountain, and sometimes it is necessary to open the road manually, so Ye Limo led everyone to walk very slowly.

Fortunately, Ye Limo still remembered some experience of living in the wild. Even without a compass, there are several ways to determine the direction and orientation.

The housekeeper never knew that Ye Limo had these little skills.

"Your Majesty, you also have many small skills that others don't have!"

During the break, the steward said to Ye Limo.

Ye Limo smiled and said: "Bruce, you have some small skills, and I also have some small skills that are not worth mentioning!"

The housekeeper also laughed and said, "Small skills that are not worth mentioning? Your Majesty's small skills have already helped a lot!"

Ye Limo said: "Of course."

Some small skills, if you only know them at ordinary times, may be considered cold knowledge at most, but in a specific environment, they can play a very important role.

It's just that although small skills are useful, they can't avoid moving forward in the mountains and forests.

The weather in the hot island, it rains almost every day, makes the journey even more difficult.

After Gogol got the appointment of King Ye Limo, he immediately got busy according to Ye Limo's instructions.Firstly, the malaria patients were gathered together, more than 40 patients were gathered together, and then more than 20 women were recruited to help take care of them, help boil water, burn plants for fuming mosquitoes, boil water for disinfection, etc., try to control malaria as much as possible.

However, although these methods are useful, people still get sick every day.

Many family members of the patients are ready to give up, suffering from cold and fever, almost only a dead end.Although Gogol reassured them that the king had gone out to look for medicinal materials, everyone felt that the king was not a doctor, so how could he know how to cure diseases?Not to mention this disease with a very high mortality rate.

Gogol was busy, spending time worrying about patients and appeasing relatives.Ye Limo and his party also walked further and further away, getting deeper and deeper into places that no one has ever been to.

The longer the time, the more discouraged everyone is. Maybe the heat island really does not have the magic medicine for cold and fever that the king said.

Ye Limo was also very discouraged, the housekeeper discussed with him and said: "Your Majesty, we have left the station for a week, and the dry food we brought has already been eaten, and everyone is exhausted. If we continue, some people will fall ill, we should think about it." Heading back."

Ye Limo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, Bruce, I can't be too impatient. Only by preserving my vitality can there be hope. Even if we search the entire heat island, we still have to see if we have cinchona."

The butler asked: "Then what do you mean, when can we return?"

Ye Limo stood up, looked around, and said: "We are going downhill now. It seems that there is a valley here. Let's go to the valley to see if there is any. Cinchona requires special plants, and only valleys are suitable for them to grow. .Let’s spend three days in the valley looking for it. If the valley doesn’t exist, we’ll go back.”

The steward nodded and said, "In this case, let's move on for a while. If not, we will find a chance to come out later."

This is indeed the only way to go now, Ye Limo nodded.

The butler passed on Ye Limo's order, and the morale of the guards also improved. At least now, it is no longer a hopeless field operation.

In the next two days, it was indeed a downhill road. The entire heat island was a huge mountain range, and the highest peak was a snow mountain covered with heavy snow all year round. The other mountains were not so high.

Going down, you can also feel the temperature is slowly rising.

In this way, after walking in the valley for two days, he still found nothing. Ye Limo thought desperately, maybe just like the last life, except for certain valleys in the paradise, there is no cinchona at all in other places, right?

Seeing that the guards, who are usually very energetic, are also tired at this time, wishing to find a place to sleep right away, Ye Limo can't continue to search, and ordered everyone to walk out of the valley from another road and prepare to return.

The guards couldn't help cheering in low voices. It was a great crime to accompany the king out this time. The missions and training they participated in before were not so tortured.

The guards still follow the previous formation, a few people clear the way in front, a few people guard the sides of Ye Limo and the butler, and a few people behind them cut off.With the help of the housekeeper, Ye Limo struggled forward. In the whole team, he was the weakest chicken, and even the housekeeper was much better than him.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to carry you on your back?"

Ye Limo stopped, thumped his slightly sore legs, and said, "Let me walk for a while, if I can't walk anymore, I'll tell you again."

The butler nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if you feel tired, don't be shy. Among all the people, only you have not received intensive training. Therefore, it is normal for us to help you."

Ye Limo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the steward gave him reasons for his weak ability. Ye Limo had to admit that in the palace, the pampered life made him completely inferior to the guards' physical fitness and combat effectiveness, and even the steward. Not ashamed to admit it.It's just that, as a man, he has to test his ability and see his limit no matter what.

After walking for a while, Ye Limo felt that he couldn't move anymore, so he signaled the housekeeper to carry himself on his back.

The housekeeper immediately carried Ye Limo on his back. His broad back really gave people a sense of security.

Ye Limo, who had liberated his legs, couldn't help looking around. In this tropical rainforest, the plants are very lush. Not only are there big trees that block out the sun, but under the big trees, even where the sun leaks a little, there are plants. flourish.

When looking around, Ye Limo saw a forest, which looked shorter than other trees, but their growth environment was very good, there were no towering trees to block the sun, and they were connected together, looking vibrant.But take a closer look, it looks familiar!The white flowers on the tree, and the red things that resemble flowers but are actually leaves, are very similar to the pictures in my memory!

Ye Limo hurriedly asked the housekeeper to put him down: "Bruce, there seems to be a cinchona tree over there, let's go and have a look!"

The butler looked at it, but he didn't see anything, but he quickly put Ye Limo down. As soon as Ye Limo fell to the ground, his sore legs softened, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he stabilized, and then moved towards run over.

The housekeeper and guards hurriedly followed, helping Ye Limo cut down the lush plants and open a path.

When he got to the tree, Ye Limo couldn't help but circled the tree a few times, picked the leaves and took a closer look, and finally confirmed that this was the cinchona tree he was looking for!

After confirming that it was a cinchona tree, Ye Limo immediately sat down on the ground. The trip was finally complete, and it was worth the hardships along the way!

The butler asked Ye Limo to sit on a clean cushion, waiting for him to calm down his excitement first.
