Our island owner is always playing dead

Talitan couldn't bear it, and continued to look into the distance through the tube. He found that he could clearly see what the hawker was selling in the distance, and he could clearly see what kind of flower was on the top of the lady's head in the distance. I can see not far away, what is the headline of the newspaper in the man's hand...

The telescope really aroused Talitan's interest. He said, "Saurel, what is this? How was it made? You said it was made by your king. How much is this worth? Can I buy it?"

This series of questions popped out of his mouth continuously, wishing to immediately take this telescope as his own.

Sorel took the telescope and said: "Of course I can't give it to you. It was made by His Majesty the King. How can I give it to others casually? Of course, I only know that this telescope can see far away, but why is it so?" I don't know, if you want to know why, maybe you can ask our king."

When he said this, Soler was actually joking. He thought it was impossible for Talitan to leave Merlin because his home was here.However, Talitan thought for a while and said: "Can I go to your hot island? I want to ask the king what is going on with this thing. If I don't know what is going on, I will definitely think about it every day. This problem, until I died of depression."

Sorel was very surprised and said: "Your father will not agree with you!"

Talitan said: "My friend, don't you know? I have passed my 20th birthday, which means that I am already an adult. Even if my father doesn't want to, he can't tie me up at home. How about this, I know you will stay in Molin for two days, I also have two days to prepare, I will come here to find you when you set sail, and I will go to Heat Island with you."

Sorel felt that he had said something wrong last time, and Talitan took it seriously for a joke, but he looked serious, as if no one could persuade him to turn around.Sorel had no choice but to say: "In this case, I will wait for you here. If you still don't show up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, my fleet will set sail, and you can only wait for me to come again next time. "

Talitan said, don't worry this year, I will definitely come to your appointment, I will do what I said, and he turned and left after speaking.

Originally, he thought that the chances of Talidan being able to catch up with his ship in two days were not too high, but on that day, Talidan came over with a box in his hand.

Talitan boarded the boat resolutely and handed Soler a gold coin, saying, "Captain, this is my ticket money, please accept it. I will ask for your care these days."

Sorel looked behind, and it seemed that no one was chasing Talitan, it seemed that he did not run out against his father's order.Although Saurel was puzzled, it was time to lift the anchor, so he had no choice but to order Shang to go to the next stop.

Completely different from Soler's imagination, Talitan is not like a son of a rich family at all. He doesn't care how poor the living conditions are, and he doesn't care how many mosquitoes or bedbugs there are on the boat. Those things that interest me.For example, how sailors judge the direction of the wind and ocean currents, how to control the boat in places with complicated ocean currents, and when he is bored, he even studies his own shadow.

Soler felt that Talitan was a very strange person, he was not even interested in anything in Soler's business, as if he was not born in a family of merchants.Along the way, Sorel also met many people who wanted to ask him about cinchona, but Sorel pretended not to know anything.And Talitan didn't seem to realize that the hot island he was about to go to was a place rich in cinchona, and now it has become a place that people often talk about on the mainland.

About a week later, the caravan led by Soler finally reached Cammara.

In Kanmara, Sorel is used to being cautious in his words and deeds. He knows that the policies implemented here are very strict, so he tries to be careful about his words and deeds to avoid troubles to his upper body. With the help of his old friend Zhongxi, many things can be done Much smoother and simpler.

As usual, Soler's main purpose in coming to Kanmara was to complete an important timber deal with Nakashi.Accompanied by Zhongxi, Sorel may have a meal or two in Kanmara, and then hang around for a while, and then he will leave Kanmara quickly. If he stays too long, others will be suspicious.

After counting the lumber, all the lumber was handed over to Zhong Xi, and the money for the lumber this time was also settled.

Zhongxi took the initiative to say: "Mr. Soler, I know that doing this will make you a little embarrassed, but I have to ask you, does the heat island where you are located have medicinal materials that can cure cold and fever?"

Soler knew that after Prince Gather brought the ten boxes of cinchona back to their country, the news of cinchona would definitely spread in this continent. It was not surprising for Zhongxi to know the news, so he admitted very generously: "Yes, Mr. Nakashi."

Zhongxi rarely asked: "Is the price particularly expensive?"

Soler said: "It should be so. Our Majesty the King went into the rainforest for half a month to find this kind of medicinal material. After wearing out a pair of feet, we found it. If we haven't found this kind of medicine, we will Many people will die from cold and fever on the hot island. So I think the expensive price of this medicinal material is justified.”

Zhongxi did not dwell on the question of whether the price should be so expensive, but continued: "I would like to ask you to do me a favor, Mr. Sorel. I have an aunt who has fallen ill due to cold and fever. She has no husband, and I have no other relatives but a daughter. If she dies of cold and fever, my cousin will be left alone. The doctor has said that her medicine will not work except with cinchona, so I hope you can help me with this Busy, take my aunt to your hot island for treatment."

Zhongxi said it very euphemistically, Sorel understood what he meant.Although Zhong Xi, a small steward of the shipyard, even has the power to decide the business of the shipyard, his salary is not high, so if he wants to buy expensive cinchona, he may not be able to afford it.So he thought of asking Sorel, a business partner, for help, hoping that he could take his aunt to the hot island for treatment, so that he could get cheaper medicinal materials and save his aunt's life.

Sorel said with some embarrassment: "I can tell you very frankly, Mr. Nakashi, in our hot island, the residents use cinchona for free, and they don't need to spend any money. But for outsiders, we don't have free treatment. If your aunt and cousin want to treat cold and fever for free, there may be only one way, and that is to become a citizen of Heat Island. Only then will the grace of His Majesty be bestowed on them, otherwise, if you want to get cheap medicine, I'm afraid It's not that easy."

Although Sorel is an enthusiastic person and wants to help Zhongxi, he is also a principled person, and it is impossible to do things that will harm the interests of Urushima.

Zhongxi was also very embarrassed when he heard such words. He hoped that Sorel could help her aunt and cousin, but he could not go directly to his aunt and cousin to make a decision. He hesitated and said, "Please wait for me for a long time. Just ask them for their opinion, and if they are willing, I hope you can take them to Heat Island."

"If they wanted to, of course I would take them to the heat island, there's no doubt about it," Soler said.

Now the caravan has four merchant ships, which can carry more goods and more people.Humans are needed everywhere on the heat island, so the more people the better.

In the evening, Zhongxi invited Sorel to have dinner together as a thank you.Zhongxi said that his cousin and aunt have decided to go to the hot island for treatment, even if they can only stay on that island in the future, after all, if they can survive, where will they live? Isn't it the same?What's more, Bailos' current situation is not a suitable place for everyone to live.

Hearing Zhongxi's words, Soler felt a little sad. Not everyone likes to leave their homes. They always have some unavoidable reasons. For example, if there is no war to destroy their homes, how can refugees be willing to leave their own peace? What about a peaceful life and going to a completely strange place?

After talking about his cousin, Zhongxi seemed to be in a bad mood, Sorel comforted him and said: "Please don't worry, if your cousin and aunt arrive in the heat island, I will definitely do my best to help them take care of them .They are in the heat island, as long as they can do their part to work, they can have enough food, and there is no cold in the heat island.”

Zhongxi said: "I believe in your qualities, Mr. Sorel, I just have some unpleasant things in my heart, but I can't say them out, please forgive me."

Sorel has known Zhongxi for such a long time, and he also has some understanding of the depression in his heart.Zhongxi does not agree with the current government's policy very much, but under such circumstances, he has to submit to such an environment, because he has a wife, children, and family members.For the sake of the family, a gesture of obedience must be made,

It’s okay to do things against one’s own will for a day or two, but the longer the time, the more unbearable it will be, and one can’t wait to vent all the unhappiness in his heart immediately. Zhongxi is at this stage, he wants to explode but can’t, It seems that it is a volcano that has been brewing for a long time, and it has not been able to find a suitable breakthrough. The day when it erupts will be the truly terrifying time.

Saurel sighed slightly, and he was helpless in this matter.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Heat Island.It is very harmonious and peaceful there. Most people are doing things according to their own wishes. Everyone has clear goals and hopes to use their struggles in exchange for a better life.

But at Hongshang Port, he rarely saw such a scene.Many people have their own anger and dissatisfaction with life, and they all have to suppress it for various reasons. If this situation continues to develop, a catastrophe will be brewed one day.
