Start with the fisherman

Chapter 35 If you never forget it, there will be repercussions

Another quarter of an hour later, Cao Ze finally saw land.

However, the moment he relaxed his mind, he suddenly felt dizzy and the outside world became blurry as if covered by a thin film.

The poison has spread to the brain.

"I can't die!"

"I can't die!"

Cao Ze's consciousness had begun to blur, but he kept repeating in his mind, and his body continued to swim towards the shore mechanically.

Bishui Village, on the coast.

Su Xiaozhi, with a pale and haggard face, stood at the place where Cao Ze used to tie the black-sailed boat, looking at the calm sea, her mind blank.

She has been standing here for almost a month.

She started waiting here from the third day after Cao Ze disappeared.

Everyone in the village said that Cao Ze had met with an accident and would never come back, but she firmly believed that Cao Ze would definitely come back!
It is precisely because of this belief that she has been able to hold on until now.

But time went by and Cao Ze had been missing for a month.

Such a long time!
Sometimes Su Xiaozhi couldn't help but think, "Maybe he really won't come back!"

"No, he will definitely come back!"

Su Xiaozhi fought with her inner demons over and over again, and her eyes had long lost focus.

Wow!

Suddenly, the sound of waves woke her up.

Su Xiaozhi looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that there was a disheveled corpse on the shore, as if it had been pushed over by the waves.

She subconsciously took a few steps back, worried about getting into trouble.

But soon, she walked towards the body, and she felt a sense of familiarity with the body.

After dragging the body out of the sea, she turned it over so that it lay on its back on the beach. She squatted beside the body and vigilantly reached out to brush away the hair on the body's face.

Cao Ze felt as if a whole century had passed. He had been trying hard to break free from the membrane that trapped him, but no matter how strong his will was, his sense of the outside world continued to diminish.

His world became darker and darker, until he felt as if he was being dragged. He wanted to resist, but he was unable to make any move.

"Brother Ze!"

When she saw the face of the corpse clearly, Su Xiaozhi's heart trembled, as if it had stopped beating, and tears flowed like heavy rain.

A familiar voice came, like a thunder, cutting through the endless darkness and bursting out with brilliant light.

Cao Ze opened his eyes and looked at the familiar face in tears, feeling joyful.

"Xiao Zhi!"

After calling out softly, he fell into a coma completely.

"Brother Ze, Brother Ze..."

Su Xiaozhi leaned down in surprise, touching Cao Ze's already black face, and looking at the bloody mess on his chest. She felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

But she still forced herself to suppress her grief, and ran into the fish market with Cao Ze in her arms, and came to the home of the only doctor in Bishui Village.

"Doctor Ding, please save Brother Ze, please save Brother Ze!"

Rushing into the clinic, Su Xiaozhi shouted anxiously.

……

Ten nautical miles east of Coral Island, the Storm came riding on the wind and waves.

The Dragon God Temple team was originally only planning to hunt down a little guy who was at the fifth level of body forging. Who knew they would encounter a behemoth like the Gale? Under the attack of the Gale, there was no suspense at all and the entire army was wiped out.

But Feng Kuang also noticed the red dragon messenger who was chasing Cao Ze.

The power of the Dragon God Temple in the East China Sea was growing stronger and stronger. If the two ends were not properly dealt with, the Hurricane would be in great danger in the East China Sea. So he urged the Hurricane to chase after them.

The first, second and third mates each led a team of light boats to search in all directions, determined not to let the Red Dragon Messenger escape back to the Dragon Temple.

Just then, they saw the body floating on the sea!

The wound was on the back, and the body was split in half, leaving only a layer of flesh on the chest connecting the two halves of the body, and even the spine was cut off.

It was the smell of blood that attracted them and led them to find the corpse that had been surrounded and devoured by a school of fish.

“He’s already dead!”

Feng Kuang was amazed. With his keen eyesight, he could certainly see that the young man was slightly inferior in strength. However, the final result was that the Red Dragon Messenger was found dead on the sea, while the young man was nowhere to be seen. He must have escaped.

"The wound is on the back. It must have been a sneak attack."

Zhao Meng analyzed.

But they all know that being able to launch a sneak attack in the sea is also a skill!
"I am looking forward to meeting him more and more now!"

Feng Kuang looked towards the direction of Bishui Village with an excited look.

But he still said, "Let's go back to Feiyan Port first!"

There is no port in Bishui Village to dock the Tornado, and he is the captain of the ship after all. Even if he is eager to recruit talented people, he must first preside over all matters related to the return of the Tornado to the port.

Now that I have found out the other party's background, there is no need to rush.

Since we are looking for talents, we naturally cannot leave empty-handed!

……

Bishui Village, fish market, Dinglang Chinese Medicine Clinic.

"His injuries are not serious, but the poison is very troublesome. There is nothing I can do."

Doctor Ding shook his head. "I have tried my best to expel the poisonous blood from him, but the poison has already spread throughout his body, so it is not very effective."

"I've prescribed him a few prescriptions to strengthen his body and replenish his energy. You can go back and boil them for him to drink. Maybe it will help."

"Whether he can survive next depends on himself."

"One tael of silver!"

Doctor Ding reached out and took the silver from Su Xiaozhi, then put the medicine in Su Xiaozhi's hand and didn't look at Cao Ze again.

In his eyes, Cao Ze was already a dead man.

That's the kiss of death!
If all the poisonous blood could be drained before the toxins spread, there might still be hope, but now...

However, he was able to survive for such a long time after being given the kiss of death. Maybe there is really hope for this kid?
Doctor Ding shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

What does Cao Ze’s life or death have to do with him?

Su Xiaozhi knew that Doctor Ding had done his best, so she carried Cao Ze back home, boiled the medicine, fed it to Cao Ze, and then wiped Cao Ze's body clean before letting him lie on the bed.

After doing all this, she sat on the edge of the bed and cried.

Finally, looking at Cao Ze lying quietly on the bed, she also quietly took off her clothes and got into bed.

She raised her hand, and her long fingers gently wrapped around Cao Ze's waist. She hugged him from behind, and then they huddled together like two shrimps.

Feeling the familiar breath, Su Xiaozhi, who hadn't slept well for many days, soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Su Xiaozhi was suddenly awakened by the cold.

When he touched Cao Ze, he found that his body was covered in sweat, as if he had been soaked in sea water, and was icy cold. His face turned pale.

Without hesitation, she got up and wiped the sweat off Cao Ze's body, then took off all her clothes, snuggled into Cao Ze's arms, and turned herself into a heater to keep him warm.

In his sleep, Cao Ze felt like he had fallen into an icy hell. He was shivering with cold... Suddenly, a sun appeared in this hell.

He tried his best to get closer to the sun, squeeze the sun, and absorb a little warmth from this only source of heat.
