Become the city lord from today
Chapter 290
"Wow!~~"
The sound of waves breaking through the water was heard, and water splashed up.
In the cabin of the main ship, the atmosphere was extremely depressed at this time, because Catherine, the most distinguished daughter of the Grand Duke and one of the five most amazing women in the royal capital, was ill.
"Huhahuha……"
Catherine lay on the bed with a pale face, breathing heavily, a look of pain on her face, her thin eyebrows furrowed, and even her breathing could make people feel her pain.
"Catherine, don't worry. Just hold on for a while. Xiyang City is about to arrive, and there must be good witch doctors there. You must hold on."Darlene held Catherine's slender hand tightly and comforted her softly.
The heavy snowfall the day before yesterday made Catherine catch a cold. In the first day or two, she was still a little dizzy. She was weak when speaking. She thought it would be better if she slept. Unexpectedly
, Catherine's condition worsened today and she fainted. Darlene only found out when she came to see Catherine in the morning. Darlene was a little overwhelmed. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. It had been similar to this before. The disease can only be cured by lying in bed and suffocating it with a quilt for a day or two. At most, you can take some strange concoction made by the witch doctor.
But Catherine's painful expression now is really worrying. If there is an emergency………That's really going to happen
"Bang bang bang……"
The cabin door was knocked, and then a voice came,"Miss Darlene, please let the witch doctor on board take a look at Miss Catherine's condition."
"No need, I saw it yesterday, but it got worse. I have to wait until I go to Xiyang City to see a witch doctor."Darlene refused.
"Miss Darlene, how could a small town in a remote place like Xiyang City have a powerful witch doctor?"There was a little bit of anger in an old voice.
Darlene knew who the owner of the voice was. It was an old witch on the ship. Well, it was an old witch doctor. It seemed that he was sent by the fourth prince. He got some yesterday. Catherine drank the black concoction, and her illness worsened today.
Therefore, Darlene did not dare to let the other party look at her any longer. She would rather go to Xiyang City to give it a try, because she really could not trust the old witch.
The other party waited for a while, Without waiting for Darlene's response, she continued to persuade,"Miss Darlene, we can't delay it any longer. Once something happens to Miss Catherine, we will all be responsible.""
"……"Darlene pursed her lips and looked at Catherine's painful face. She knew that the other party was right. Once something happened to Catherine, the Duke's daughter, everyone would be held accountable by the Grand Duke.
And she, the owner of the fleet, her father, and the entire caravan family would definitely be destroyed by the Grand Duke's wrath.
Catherine was the apple of the Grand Duke's eye. He was very proud of the Duke and was very favored. The Grand Duke once said that if he wanted to marry his daughter Catherine, he would have to go through his examination and there would be no need to discuss anything.
How many people like Catherine as a woman? If 10% of the men in the royal capital like Catherine, then at least 30% of the men like Catherine, which is slightly worse than Princess Lucy.
"Bang bang bang……"
When she didn't get a response, she knocked louder this time. Darlene's face darkened. She stood up and opened the door. Her green eyes looked angrily at the people standing outside.
"Do you think Catherine is not sick enough? Are you actually making noise here?
Darlene pointed at an old woman and yelled angrily,"What do you want to do with a knife and a wooden basin?" Bloodletting?"
"right! Bloodletting can release some of the demons that have invaded the body, which can reduce Miss Catherine's pain."
The old woman witch doctor raised her head and said proudly. This was her final treatment method. She saved many people with this method. Two out of ten people were saved, otherwise all ten people would have died.
"Don't even think about it. Darlene slammed the door shut again, and her voice came out,"If you keep making noise, get off my ship.""
This made the people outside look at each other and stand for a while before leaving with a gloomy face. They prayed that nothing would happen to Catherine, otherwise some little nobles with no status would definitely be dragged to the burial by the Grand Duke.
"Tap tap tap……"
Darlene leaned against the door, listening to the footsteps disappearing, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, this bloodletting therapy was nonsense.
She had read some records of illness cases, and compared it with some cases of civilians getting sick, and found that 90% of the people who were treated by bloodletting died. Among these 90%, 70% of the people did not need to die, but were killed again and again. Bleed to death
"Catherine, don't worry, I will never let anyone bleed you. Darlene stared at Catherine blankly. This friend went out with her but got sick, which made her feel very guilty.
"Come on, come on, Xiyang City is coming."Darlene went to the window and looked out through the gap.
She urgently needed a backbone, such as her father Solo. Darlene didn't know what to do now. She didn't dare to think about the worst. For example, when she arrived in the West What if there are no good witch doctors in Yangcheng? What if the witch doctors in Xiyang City also use bloodletting?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy and heavy she felt. Smart people think too much, such as Darlene. , some things didn’t happen, she had already figured out a lot of things
"Huh?"Darlene was shocked. She looked outside not far away. There were nearly three hundred people there, carrying big logs and running slowly. The other party seemed to be shouting slogans like 'one two one'. They were a bit far away. She Didn't hear very clearly
"What are they doing? More than 300 people carrying wood in the middle of winter? Are you going to build a house?"Darlene guessed
"………"
On the shore, Niu Da was riding a horse, looking at the dozens of large ships on the Youshui River, frowning and saying,"Why are there so many ships coming to Xiyang City in this winter?"
"Second brother, take the soldiers back and prepare them. If there is any change, you will immediately lead people to guard Xiyang City. The safety of the young master comes first.
Niu Da said to Niu Er on the side,"I'll take some people to see it first.""
Today is to take the recruits to the field to practice physical strength and practice cold resistance training.
"OK!"Niu Er took over the command.
"drive!"Niu Da rushed to the alley with dozens of veterans. He hoped that the other party would not come with bad intentions.
No matter whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, some early warning arrangements are needed, even if the other party is someone he knows.
