Chapter 413: Go to the top of the mountain and listen to the greetings
After all, Chen Mu has obtained the true biography of Lu Shengwu, and he has been on the rivers and lakes for so long, and he knows the truth of wanting to capture the old and indulge, if he agrees quickly, the purpose will inevitably be too strong, and he will not be trusted, even if he is close to Pu Ye, he will not have a chance to start.
Besides, the quality of this guard is very good, but I am afraid that the garrison on the mountain will be more strict, and if you go to the mountain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go down the mountain again.
But if Pu Ye came to the camp, the situation would be very different.
With the reputation he has accumulated, as well as the pre-agreement of Ah Gumei and others, when the time comes, he will create chaos, even if he kills Pu Ye, the chance of escape is still very large.
It's just that Chen Mu's remarks instantly ignited the anger of the captain of the guard!
"You're toasting, don't eat and drink!" The captain of the guard tore off Chen Mu's white scarf covering his mouth and nose, took Chen Mu's collar, and threatened Chen Mu in a deep voice.
Chen Mu spread out his hands, pointed to the slave behind him, and the captain of the guard said, "This guy, I advise you to calm down." ”
"This rotten foot disease is contagious, and unless you kill me, I'd suggest you do not use your hands or feet."
When the captain of the guard looked at it, his face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately let go of Chen Mu, and even retreated outside the grass hut.
Because the slave's feet had completely festered, Chen Mu had just scraped the rotten parts clean, but the sores were still bleeding pus, and the pus was soaking the muscles and bones!
"You dare to lie to me!" The captain of the guard shouted inwardly, but he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.
He lived in the mountains and protected Pu Ye closely, so it was not common for him to visit the camp, and perhaps because of this, they selected lackeys from among the slaves to manage the slaves' camp.
Seeing such a disgusting scene at this time, he couldn't avoid it, but in their hearts, he was a high immortal, controlling the life and death of these slaves, how could he endure the rejection of such a slave as Chen Mu!
"Isn't it a lie, won't you know if you try it yourself?" Chen Mu glanced at the captain of the guard, who hesitated for a moment, but after all, he couldn't help it, and ordered the guard behind him.
"Hold him up for me!"
The guards looked at each other, but hesitated.
They are not blind, they have all seen the slave with rotten feet, and the life of the captain of the guard is fate, and their life is not fate?
It is precisely because they know that they are adrift at sea and take care of their feet is the most important thing, so they will still wear leather boots in the hot weather.
Seeing this, the chief guard jumped to his feet and slapped the guards next to him to his stomach!
"Dare to disobey and look for death!"
Those guards knew that they were scared at this time, and they surrounded them one by one to take Chen Mu, but they only took two steps, then stopped, and ran out one by one!
Chen Mu turned his head to look, but saw that the slave grabbed a handful on the ground and grabbed the rotten sores and filth that Chen Mu helped him clean up!
"Thanks to Chen Ye's preservation, Lao Tzu was able to save this cheap life, otherwise he would be thrown into the sea by the dog mongrels outside, and he would die, if any of you dare to come up, Lao Tzu will lose your face!"
Everyone imagined that their faces would rot to the bone like the feet of this slave, but how could they not be afraid!
He also mentioned that these guards, that is, the captain of the guard himself, all ran to a far place outside, and knowing that these people under his command did not dare to come forward, he gave orders to the ordinary guards on the periphery.
"You sluts get over here and throw this old dog into the sea! Throw it into the sea! ”
These ordinary guards were selected from among the slaves, and naturally they were not as expensive as those on the mountain, but in the end, they were also life-saving.
It's just that they also know that once they have no use value, they will end up in the same way as ordinary slaves, even if they rush over.
The rotten old man was already ready to do his best, and at this time Chen Mu finally stood up.
"Don't be impulsive, I'll just go up the mountain."
Chen Mu just wanted to get away with it, just to dispel that Pu Ye's concerns, it was enough to make trouble to this point, and it would not end well if it continued to make trouble.
When the ordinary guards heard Chen Mu's words, they were all greatly relieved.
This quarrel has already attracted the crowd, and many slaves have also gathered, Na Kun and the others are even more ready to go, their lives are all pulled back by Chen Mu, when necessary, they will not hesitate to fight with these guards, and they must also protect Chen Mu!
If you change to him, or change to another place, it is very difficult to get the support of these people, but they are on this island, day and night, I don't know when they will be thrown into the sea, they can be rescued by Chen Mu, and they will be recreated.
The captain of the guard was not afraid of causing a riot, so it was a big deal to kill chickens and monkeys, shoot a few, and then calm down.
These people are like cattle in their eyes, but livestock are also valuable, as human traffickers, these slaves are their goods, it doesn't matter how many you kill, but if you kill them all, the trade will be ruined, and you have to pay for it.
So seeing Chen Mu's compromise, the captain of the guard was also secretly happy in his heart, and shouted to everyone: "Lao Tzu, let's let you go today, and next time, be careful of your heads!" ”
After such a warning, he said to Chen Mu: "Come with me." ”
Chen Mu had no long things, and he didn't need to clean them up, so he told the rotten foot guy behind him: "You keep these grass blades, mix some pearl oyster powder, chew them and put them on the sores, change them every two days, remember to avoid water, otherwise this foot will not be saved." ”
Seeing that it was all this time, Chen Mu still couldn't forget his rotten feet, and the old man's eyes were moist.
Manga is a stranger, and there is no Langzhong on this island, who is his own son, and he is afraid that he will not be so thoughtful and clean up the sores for himself.
The old man nodded vigorously, wanting to say something grateful, but he couldn't say anything, everything was secretly engraved in his heart.
Seeing this, Chen Mu followed the captain of the guard and went up the mountain.
There are several peaks on this island, but the highest is Sea Urchin Mountain, and Pu Ye should live on Sea Urchin Mountain.
The mountain road has long been tamped and paved with sand, so that at the foot of the mountain, you can see the wooden houses on the hill when you look up.
When he arrived at the mountainside, Chen Mu found that many vegetable gardens had been cultivated here, which were lush and green, and there were actually a lot of crops such as greens and celery.
After walking for a while, I finally reached the top, and there was a small village on it, in addition to the thatched hut full of Honolulu style, there was also a stilted building on the ground floor to raise pigs and stay on the second floor.
Inside the stockade, the men and women were brightly dressed and had smooth faces, and compared with the slave camps at the foot of the mountain, they were like a hell and a paradise.
It is completely different from the smell at the foot of the mountain, this place is like a fairyland on earth, the air is diffused with the fragrance of flowers, and the village is actually planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, fragrant and fragrant.
Xu has lived here for a long time, and he may have seen the life at the foot of the mountain, although the women here are tending to the flowers and plants, but looking at Chen Mu's eyes, there is inevitably a trace of disgust and disgust, as if Chen Mu is a pig who crawled out of the sludge pit.
Although they were glamorous, Chen Mu felt that they stink, but they were not as good as those at the foot of the mountain.
Although the slaves were insensitive, like Agu Mei, even if they were bullied by the guards, they had no heart to resist at first, and even the most basic sense of shame was gone.
But when they saw the hope of survival, the brilliance of the pursuit of freedom exuded was not comparable to that of these women.
These people are not insensitive, but they are somewhat self-deceptive.
They may not worry about food and clothing, but fundamentally speaking, they are no different from those slaves at the foot of the mountain.
If Agumei and others are given the same opportunities to these people, maybe these people will not have the courage to get out of this village, this is the difference between them.
Chen Mu didn't think much about it, after all, it was just a preliminary impression, he didn't have an in-depth understanding, and it was not easy to make a judgment, but this was also a preliminary assessment of what he was going to do next, so that he would not hesitate when he should make a decision.
In the center of the stockade is a three-storey white gray building, like a fortress, with the baroque style of the church, the huge stone foundation and base, that is, the stained glass windows decorated outside, already exuding a luxurious atmosphere, as if bringing people from ancient times to modern times, from ignorance to civilization.
It's a pity that this place, which seems to be full of civilization, is instead the most barbaric, primitive and inhumane place.
The captain of the guard took Chen Mu to the front of the building, there were already a few maids guarding the door, the leader was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, and the captain of the guard said: "It's hard work, leave the rest to us." ”
The captain of the guard did not dare to be presumptuous, nodded, and said to the maid: "We will stay outside, if he dares to be dishonest, just shout." ”
They spoke with a Hokkien accent, and Chen Mu only listened to a rough idea.
The maid nodded, did not take Chen Mu into the house, and walked around the building to the back, which turned out to be a garden.
There is a mountain spring in the garden, and there is a rockery, and next to the garden is a row of wooden bungalows, two of which have chimneys, which should be a kitchen and laundry room.
Chen Mu followed the three maids into one of the rooms, which turned out to be a huge bathroom.
Without saying a word, the maids were about to take off Chen Mu's clothes, but Chen Mu hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.
The maid at the head did not scold or dislike it, but just said to Chen Mu: "Pu Ye loves cleanliness, if you want to see Pu Ye, you need to wash it and change your clothes." ”
Chen Mu rarely took a bath, and he was happy: "I'll just come by myself, you can wait outside." ”
The maids didn't make any moves, they were still the ones in charge, and said to Chen Mu: "Pu Ye's safety is important, we need to make sure that there is nothing dangerous on you." ”
Chen Mu also suddenly said: "I understand, it's better to bother the eldest sister to go out and call the eldest brother Shicai to check, they are guards, shouldn't they do this?" ”
"It's a man after all...... It's also easier to search......" Chen Mu couldn't help but say this.
It's just that I didn't expect that the maid's next sentence hit Chen Mu's heart hard.
"In this hellish place, where are there only masters and servants, and where are men and women?"
