Edmond and Bo Yu crossed Carnabière Street, turned along Noaiyin Street into Meilan Lane, and walked into a small house on the left. Edmund held on to the railing on the dark stairs with one hand, and kept soothing his heart that was beating wildly because he was about to see his father with the other hand. He greeted Bo Yu and hurriedly ran up the four flights of stairs. He stopped in front of a half-open door that led into a small room.

Edmond's father lived in this room. The old man didn't know the news about the Pharaoh's arrival in port. At this time, he was standing on a chair, tying morning glories and wilting flowers to the window with trembling fingers, trying to make a flower shed. Suddenly he felt an arm hugging him around the waist, and then a familiar voice shouted in his ear

"Father! I'm back! Father!"

The old man screamed, turned around, and when he saw it was his son, he fell tremblingly into his arms with a pale face.

"What's wrong with you, father! Are you sick? My friend Bo Yu can give you a look!"

Edmond asked in surprise, being frightened by his father's behavior.

"No, no, my dear Edmund—my boy, no, I did not expect you to come back. I'm so happy, seeing you so suddenly makes me so excited - God, I feel like I'm going to die"

"Be happy, father! It's me - it's really me! People say that happiness never harms the body, so I sneaked in secretly. Hi! Smile at me and don't look at me with such doubtful eyes. It's me who's back, and we're going to live a happy life now. By the way, let me finish for you. This is Bo Yu, a doctor we accidentally rescued at sea."

Edmond's father looked at Bo Yu, who was brought by Edmund, and then politely shook hands with Bo Yu.

"Hello Mr. Bo Yu, thank you for taking care of my son during this time."The old man shook his hand very hard, but there was no malice in it. It was just because he was too excited to see his son.

"It's nothing, this is what I should do, and if it weren't for Edmund's kindness, I might still be floating on the sea. In a sense, I owe Edmund my life."

"But you have also saved me countless times with your medical skills, haven't you, my friend?"

Edmond on the side still had some objections to his friend's words.

"For example, that wound infection, if it hadn't been for Bo Yu's timely treatment, I might have lost an arm by now."Speaking of this, Edmond looked at Bo Yu with gratitude. Because Bo Yu had indeed saved himself more than once and saved the lives of countless crew members. Bo Yu's medical skills were amazing and obvious to all, although Bo Yu wouldn't let them Just look at the true nature of the medicinal materials

"Okay, you two, I already know how deep the friendship is. So Demon, please continue to tell your story. I really want to hear it."

"May God forgive me for basing my happiness on the pain of another family's bereavement, but God knows I didn't mean it for myself. Now that things have happened, there is no way to pretend to be that sad. Father, our good captain, Mr. Leclerc, is dead, and I am most likely to take his place, courtesy of Mr. Morel. Do you understand, father? Think about it, I can become a captain at the age of twenty, and my salary will be one hundred gold coins. , and you can also share dividends! This is something a poor sailor like me never dared to think about before."

"Yes, my dear boy," replied the old man,"yes, it is a very happy event."

"Well, when I get the first money, I will buy you a house with a garden, where you can plant morning glories, wilting flowers, honey locust flowers and so on. What's wrong with you, father? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Sorry, Edmond, your father is somewhat deficient in nutrition. It can be seen from his complexion that his meals are irregular and minimal."As a Chinese medicine doctor, Bo Yu had long seen the old man's condition, so he promptly reminded his friend

"This is impossible, I obviously left the money! That's two hundred francs!"

"Then I'm afraid this gentleman should do something with the money, right?"Bo Yu believed that his friend would not lie in this situation, so he quickly came to a conclusion and turned his attention to Edmond's father.

"..Your friend was right, Edmond, and you forgot that you owed our neighbor Caderousse a small debt. He mentioned this matter to me and told me that if I did not pay the debt on your behalf, he would go to Mr. Morel and ask for it from him, so in order to avoid affecting you……"

"So?"

"I gave him the money back"

"But! cried Edmond,"I owe Caderousse one hundred and forty francs!""

"good."The old man said na na

"Does that mean you took out the two hundred francs I left you and paid him back?"

The old man made an affirmative expression.

Bo Yu looked at the old man with some surprise. He didn't expect that he would live with sixty francs for three months so that his son would not be affected. He was crying. Edmond Boyu shrugged helplessly and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, Edmund, you have a chat with your father first, and I'm going to buy some food and some wine. The old man needs some nutrition, and we need some wine to soothe our mood. What do you think?"

Hearing his friend's suggestion, Edmond nodded and took out some francs from his pocket."Here, Bo Yu, go buy some more."

"No, don't forget that I made a lot of money on other islands. Okay, I'll leave first, and you can chat slowly."

Then Bo Yu didn't wait for Edmund to say anything, and left alone, leaving space for Edmond and his father._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel
