Chapter 18 Meeting Hong Yingdong for the first time

After meeting Robert, Xian Yaowen started arranging arrangements for training on Dongsha Island.

Dongsha Island is more than 300 kilometers away from Hong Kong Island. It is necessary to rent a boat. The boat should not be too small, and all supplies must be prepared. Xian Yaowen and Xian Yaowu went out alternately, and it took three days to get everything done.

One early morning at the end of November, at a small dock in Drunken Bay, Xian Yaowen once again counted the supplies. After confirming that they were correct, he ordered the ship's boss to sail.

For the sake of safety, a total of seven people went to Dongsha Island. In addition to the five people in the trial training, Xian Yaowen also took the third young master with him.

Xian Yaowen and Xian Yaowu agreed: If they have not returned home by December 12, it means that an uncontrollable accident has occurred, and Xian Yaowu needs to rent another boat to pick up people from Dongsha Island.

We set off early in the morning on the first day, and at about the same time in the early morning of the second day, Xian Yaowen, who was closing his eyes to rest, was woken up by Chuang Fei, "The boss of the ship said we are almost there."

Xian Yaowen got up, took the telescope he had bought from Zhu Fei, and looked in the direction of Dongsha Island. No one could be seen at first, but as the boat got closer to the island, people appeared in the telescope, and there were eight of them. There were as many as ninety of them, all naked from the waist up, jumping and waving in the direction of the ship. They didn't look like soldiers.

He asked Zhuang Fei to call the ship boss over to confirm. After the ship boss looked at it, he said directly: "No problem, just like you, I am here to find trouble."

Nine out of ten people who deal with boats in Hong Kong are Dan family members. Their ancestors have been soaking in the sea for generations. The fishermen can’t hide it from their eyes. When we first rented the boat, Xian Yaowen’s excuse to the boat boss was to collect seaweed. The boat boss even laughed at it. , there is no smell of seafood on him, he is simply asking for trouble.

"Not a soldier?"

"Dongsha Island is only so big. There is not enough space for a few people on the island. Not to mention soldiers, even Datian Er doesn't like it. Usually only fishermen go to the island to replenish fresh water." The boss of the boat said disapprovingly.

Since the ship's boss said this, Xian Yaowen didn't say anything more, but continued to observe cautiously, and asked Zhuang Fei to notify others to be alert.

As the boat was only about 20 meters away from the shore, Xian Yaowen's inner uneasiness dissipated slightly and became more intense again. He saw only ninety-three people on the shore. In all likelihood, their faces were swollen and their bodies looked puffy. , and then looking at the feet, they were also swollen, and they were all sluggish and weak. This was an obvious sign of edema. These were a bunch of damn hungry ghosts who were about to die of hunger.

He no longer worried that the other party had malicious intentions, but instead worried about the supplies on the ship. Although for safety reasons, when he prepared the supplies, he prepared the food for a month for a total of twelve people, and the ship was It will not leave, so it can be replenished by fishing, but how many fresh vegetables and rice noodles will be consumed by the extra ninety-three mouths.

Xian Yaowen was calculating various distribution plans in his mind, but the boat had already reached the extreme depth of the island shore. The sailors inserted one end of the springboard into the sand under the water and the other end against the ship's side. Xian Yaowen followed the boss of the boat and boarded. Go to the springboard and meet a few hungry ghosts wading through the water.

When the distance between the two parties was less than one and a half meters, and they were standing face to face, a man stood out from the hungry ghosts and clasped his fists and said, "Who is in charge?"

Xian Yaowen took a step forward and said, "I am."

The starving ghost rushed to Xian Yaowen and clasped his fists again, "I'm Hong Yingdong, and I'm leading the guys to collect seaweed here. The supply ship has not arrived for more than a month, and the brothers really can't stand it any longer. Hong kindly asks this brother to lend a helping hand." , Hong will definitely be rewarded generously."

Hearing the three words "Hong Yingdong", Xian Yaowen felt a slight shock in his heart. Several thoughts flashed through his mind and he said impassionedly: "Brother Hong, you don't have to be like this. Helping each other at sea is a rule set by our ancestors. Mazu I’m watching from heaven too.”

After saying that, Xian Yaowen shouted again: "Brothers, put the pot in the pot to cook porridge, and let the distinguished guests rest their bellies first."

After hearing what Xian Yaowen said, Hong Yingdong clasped his fists towards him again and bowed deeply.

Xian Yaowen quickly stepped forward and helped the man up, "Brother Hong, there is no need to be so generous. Helping people in need is what everyone should do. You should hurry up and tell your brothers that you should not eat too much for the first meal after you have been hungry for a long time. "Everyone should drink a bowl of porridge first to cushion their stomach, wait for the stomach to recover, and then eat as much as they want after a few hours, otherwise the stomach will not be able to bear it and will be stuffed to death."

Hong Yingdong glanced at Xian Yaowen with great gratitude, "Thank you brother for reminding me. I really didn't know there was such a thing. Most of my brothers are the backbone of the family. If something happens, I don't know how to explain to their families." .”

"Xian Yaowen, please understand some basic medical knowledge. Brother Hong will go over first. I will go over to help the brothers in a while."

"Brother Xian, thank you very much."

Xian Yaowen waved his hand in response to Hong Yingdong's thanks again, turned around and returned to the boat, found the medicine he had prepared before coming, and then ruthlessly asked him to bring out a sack of soybeans and about ten kilograms of mung beans.

Soybeans can be ground into soy milk, which can quickly replenish the high protein needed by the human body. Mung beans have a diuretic effect and promote the discharge of water in the body. Under the current conditions, these two things are good medicines for quickly treating edema.

The reason why these two kinds of beans are included in the supplies is due to Xian Yaowen's cautious character. He has prepared for the worst. If he needs to fight a protracted war on the island, soybeans and mung beans will be able to sprout and sow seeds. A year or two is not a problem at all.

Dongsha Island is on a busy navigation route, and fishermen often come here to replenish fresh water. If the island cannot be rescued in two years, it will be damned.

After waiting on the boat for a while, and guessing that Hong Yingdong had already given instructions, Xian Yaowen asked Chuang Fei to stay on the boat. He took four other people and three sailors to carry things to the shore.

When he got ashore, he asked others to cook porridge while he threw himself at the edema with great interest.

In my previous life, when I was studying special operations, I learned a little bit about trauma care, and while chatting with my personal health doctor, I also learned some pharmacological knowledge. The little bucket never got a chance to wander around, but now the opportunity has come, Doctor Xian wants to show off his skills.

After a while, the sound of crying for father and mother could be heard on the island.

I saw Xian Yaowen holding a small knife in his hand, shaving the rotten flesh on a man's calf. After shaving the rotten flesh cleanly, revealing the bright red flesh, tender red blood seeped out from the flesh, medical alcohol was poured on the wound. , then, the suture needle went into battle, the skin went in and the flesh came out, and it was a joy to sew.

Naturally, there was no general anesthesia or local anesthesia. There was only the branch in his mouth, the confinement of other workers, and the soft words of comfort from Xian Yaowen's mouth.

"Are you a man? You can't bear this kind of pain." "It's much more painful for a woman to give birth than you, and she doesn't scream like a pig being slaughtered. Just bear with it..."

"Okay, pay attention to his body temperature. If he has a fever, he will be in trouble. Use the alcohol to rub his body to cool him down."

Xian Yaowen could only ignore the possibility of infection and inflammation in the wound. Penicillin was a hard currency and a luxury item these days. He almost bit his gums before he had the courage to go to a Western pharmacy and buy seven doses. He could only reserve them for his own use. There is nothing extra to give to others.

After a round of inspection, Xian Yaowen checked every clerk and dealt with everything that could be dealt with. If he was really unsure, he didn't want to lose face. He just said no, with the consolation of "you can't die".

Finally, he came to Hong Yingdong, who had already drank the gruel.

"Brother Hong, are there any injuries on your body?"

"No no."

Hong Yingdong shrank back subconsciously and shook his head hastily.

He had seen the scene where Xian Yaowen showed the injuries to his brothers just now. The wound on his thigh was not big and there would be no problem. It was better not to let the other party know.

"It's better if you don't." Xian Yaowen shined a flashlight into Hong Yingdong's eyes, observed the retina and blood vessels, and then checked the swollen pig head. "Brother Hong is good to the brothers. Your edema is no less severe than theirs."

"Brothers, I brought them here. We share the blessings and hardships together, and we bear the hunger together."

"Brother Hong is really kind and righteous." Xian Yaowen said in his mouth, but he cursed in his heart: "It's okay if you don't want to carry it together. If you dare to eat alone, your life will definitely be lost, and the possibility of leaving a whole body is probably not high."

Xian Yaowen had to praise Hong Yingdong as a man of great luck. The starving ghosts on the island have reached the limit of human nature. They only have 72 hours left before they can eat people. If they didn't come by chance, if there was no supply ship within three days If they arrive, Dongsha Island will become a purgatory on earth, and even if Hong Yingdong does not die, he will become a devil.

"Brother Xian, why did you come to Dongsha Island?"

"Brother, I have a business to start soon. I will bring my brothers to the island to practice hard. If I meet Da Tian Er in the future, I will be able to kneel more easily. My dear man, please forgive me. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me. There are children waiting to be fed, and the whole family is counting on me for food. Brother Hong, what do you think of this line? Can you save your life from the hands of the sky?"

"Da Tian Er doesn't care about their lives, they only want money and goods."

"Brother Hong, have you ever met him?"

Xian Yaowen checked from Hong Yingdong's chest to the soles of his feet, and only saw a pustule on the instep of his left foot. At this moment, he just used a knife to open the pustule and squeezed out the pus with his hands.

Hong Yingdong frowned in pain, "You will always encounter them if you walk too much on the sea."

"Isn't it difficult to deal with?"

"There are machine guns in the sky." Hong Yingdong said with lingering fear: "I saw them sink a fishing boat with my own eyes."

Xian Yaowen was shocked, "What is the sound of a machine gun firing? Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click?"

"Rhythmically, thump, thump."

Xian Yaowen was even more shocked, "Most of the people who control the machine guns are veterans. If you meet them at sea, they will only be slaughtered."

In the past, all bandits and pirates were collectively called Da Tian Er. Now, the scope of application of the name Da Tian Er is not so wide. It is usually used to refer to the remnants of the national army active on the sea in Hong Kong and Macao. It is also a person in Macao. Nickname, that person's name is Xiao Jingzhao. He is now the underground king of Macau. Anyone who wants to do business in Macau must go to his dock.

It is said that three years ago, the gambling king Fu Laorong was kidnapped by a group of people who called themselves "Da Tian Er" and demanded a ransom of 900 million. After the "King of the Earth" He Xian dealt with it, the ransom was paid. to 50, but Fu Laorong's son chose to call the police because he learned the whereabouts of the kidnappers. After the kidnappers noticed, they fled the scene with Fu Laorong and cut off one of Fu Laorong's ears so that he would never be able to wear glasses.

It’s hard to say whether the Da Tian Er in Macau and the Da Tian Er on the sea are a group of people, but they probably cannot escape the identity of the remnant soldiers. Since Xian Yaowen wants to smuggle, he will confront them sooner or later. He has not figured out how to deal with Da Tian Er yet. Second, everything can only be decided after encountering each other. There are only three options: cooperation, war, and peace.

"Oh, how long has Brother Hong been collecting seaweed here?"

"Almost half a year."

"How's the profit?"

"I have two partners. They are responsible for selling goods in Hong Kong, and I am responsible for purchasing here. The accounts have not been reconciled yet."

Xian Yaowen saw that Hong Yingdong's face was a little gloomy, and he guessed that the other party should be at a disadvantage in the so-called partnership business. He contacted the situation he had heard in Macau. Behind the company that acquired Hairencao were two big bosses, He Xian and Zhong Ziguang. Dude, I contacted Hong Yingdong and asked him to come to the island in person to collect seaweed. I think his strength is average.

Putting the information together, Xian Yaowen estimated that the two shareholders of Hong Yingdong were very likely the management of the Macau company, and they were engaged in the business of cheating and cheating.

Xian Yaowen smiled and said: "Brother Hong is really a wonderful person. He endures hardships and lets his partners enjoy the blessings. If Brother Hong wants to do partnership business in the future, he might as well consider me."
