Chen Mu sat on the steps, and it was raining lightly outside.

Although it was May or June, the sunset was like a fire, but it rained lightly, and it gradually cooled down.

In the alleys of Ringan Street, a group of little children ran happily into the street, chirping and screaming excitedly.

They undressed, pouted, turned their backs to the sky, and were drenched in the rain.

Chen Mu inevitably fell into memories, because he and his brother used to play like this when they were children.

The elder brother said, let the light rain drench, the prickly heat on the back will disappear, I don't know who will tell this experience first, in short, the children think so, and passed it on from generation to generation, and I don't know how many generations.

One of the children in the group had a leprosy head, and his head looked like a mouse-gnawed alopecia areata, with scabs on it, and his hair was sticky and dirty.

I don't know which child said that this rain can drench prickly heat, but not, and the children all laughed.

They all call the leper head a chicken poop head, probably because it looks like a piece of after the scab is scabbed.

The leper head was not angry, and like a crazy old scalper, he began to use the "" on his head to push the other children.

Many children hurriedly dodged, laughing and playing in the rain one by one.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, took out the cigarette stick, and just as he lit it, a smell of medicine came to his nose, and a person sat next to him.

Huang Feihong gently placed a small iron box on the steps.

"Try it."

Chen Mu opened the iron box and smiled.

In the tin box is golden and soft fine tobacco, it turns out that Huang Feihong has taken it to heart.

Chen Mu was not polite, filled half a bucket of tobacco, and lit it.

The smoke is thick and thick, the taste is excellent, and even with a faint aroma of grass and trees, sweet and silky, it is really gratifying.

"Senior brother, this is a good thing!"

Chen Mu handed over the cigarette stick, but Huang Feihong waved his hand and took out a Nanmu pipe, which was also convenient.

"Your sister-in-law smokes hookah, tobacco is indispensable, and you will come to Bao Zhilin to walk around more in the future, and your benefits are indispensable."

Chen Mu also smiled: "Then I'm not welcome." ”

When it comes to sister-in-law, Chen Mu is also a little difficult to speak.

Because he has also heard of Wong Fei Hung's marriage history.

Huang Feihong married his first wife, Roche, and three months after the marriage, Roche fell ill and died.

Others said that Huang Feihongke's wife was killed, plus he was still young at the time, wandering around, busy making a name for himself, and it took more than ten years before he married his second wife.

His second wife, Ma, gave birth to two daughters and two sons, the eldest son Hanlin and the second son Huang Hansen.

However, Ma Shi did not escape the fate of Huang Feihong, the "wife", and died of illness not long after.

You must know that Huang Feihong is studying medicine, but he still can't keep his wife, which is also the most painful thing for him.

After four or five years, Huang Feihong married his current wife, Cen, and his married life was happy, and Cen gave birth to two sons to Huang Feihong, one named Han Shu and the other called Han Xi.

But now, Cen is seriously ill again, and seeing that he is weakening day by day, as if he is about to become a victim of Huang Feihong's "wife" life, Huang Feihong is both anxious and helpless in his heart.

In order to satisfy his wife's preference for hookah, Huang Feihong has no shortage of good tobacco, but in his words, he also feels guilty.

As a doctor, whether it is Liu Yongfu or Zhang Zhidong, they all praise him for his proficient skills and benevolent heart, and the people respect his medical skills even more, and some people even respect him as a miracle doctor.

But what if others recognize it?

He can't even cure his wife's illness, he can't save his life, he can only give her good food and drink, she likes to smoke hookah, so he buys her good tobacco, except for these, he can't do anything, how can he not make people sad when he mentions it?

After thinking about it, Chen Mu finally spoke: "Sister-in-law's body is better?" ”

Huang Feihong shook his head, just silently smoking his pipe, and Chen Mu proposed: "There is a French missionary Prussiantown, have you heard of it?" ”

Huang Feihong was a little puzzled: "I've heard of such a person, but what did the junior brother mention him do?" ”

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "He is a foreign monk, and he is also a foreigner, who has run a hospital in the concession, and is an honorary advisor......

"Senior brother, sister-in-law's illness, we may not be able to do anything, but maybe those foreigners will have a way?"

Huang Feihong also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I understand the kindness of my junior brother, but I have seen the foreigners' things." ”

"When it comes to curing diseases and saving people, my Chinese clan's skill of disambiguation is unmatched, and I have seen more than ten years ago that foreigners treat the wounded like animals."

"They don't have much effective medicine, and they don't know how to use Chinese medicine, so they stuff all kinds of messy things into the mouths of patients, regard opium as a miracle medicine, and eat opium for all diseases."

"They sold opium to us, and they did harm the people, but these ghosts first harmed their country, and they knew how powerful opium was, so they sold it to us."

"As for their so-called Western medical surgery, it is even more ridiculous, cutting people almost like animals, and the wounds festered and grew a lot of white maggots, which could only be burned by fire."

Chen Mu didn't expect this to be the case, at that time, modern medicine had not yet developed, and Western medicine was really as Huang Feihong said.

It's just that Huang Feihong's impression is still stuck more than ten years ago, but the development of foreigners in science and technology is changing with each passing day.

"Senior brother, what I saw and heard more than ten years ago, you should also know that once foreigners start, they will advance by leaps and bounds, and they can't get better in the past ten years, you believe me, talk to him first, see if it succeeds, even if it doesn't, you can also understand Western medicine......"

When Chen Mu said this, Huang Feihong no longer refused.

"Okay, I'm done with the past few days, I'll go with you to meet this foreigner and see if Western medicine has become so sharp."

While the two were talking, a large group of people walked out of the medical hall, led by Li Sanjiang!

Huang Feihong didn't linger, stuffed the iron box to Chen Mu, patted him on the shoulder, and walked back.

"Master Huang......" Everyone greeted Huang Feihong one after another, after all, Huang Feihong was benevolent and righteous, not only took the risk to save people, but also left them in Baozhilin to heal their injuries, which was done very authentically.

Huang Feihong nodded, exchanged pleasantries with everyone for a while, and then went to the medical hall.

Chen Mu stood up and said to everyone, "Where are you guys going?" ”

Although I asked knowingly, I still have to do it.

At this time, Li Sanjiang said to Chen Mu: "Chen Mu, this is the 489 of the three-point meeting, Wang Julou." ”

Four-eight-nine is the big guy who sits in the hall, and that's the leading big brother of the three-o'clock meeting!

"Uncle Wang......" Chen Mu also hurriedly saluted.

In the Hehe Pavilion, because Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang have been persecuting Chen Mu, Chen Mu doesn't have much impression of the uncle of the Zhongyi Hall and the bigwigs of other clubs, and now he has a good acquaintance.

As the organizers of this meeting, the Three Points Meeting has great prestige, but they also suffered the most losses.

Because the law enforcement elders became the traitors of Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang, many brothers in the hall were drugged and served by the officers and soldiers, so that Wang Julou couldn't raise his head a little.

Wang Julou waved his hand and helped Chen Mu up.

"Don't call uncle, you have found the dragon head stick, and you have won the trust of Uncle Zhong, and this time you have saved the life of the big guy, if you don't dislike it, you and I are commensurate with each other, don't be so outside."

The reason why Chen Mu released the news was to summon these people over, of course, he would not see outside, and immediately responded.

"If that's the case, then I'll be cheeky and call Brother Wang."

Wang Julou smiled, grabbed Chen Mu's wrist and said, "Okay!" Good! ”

"Come, I'll introduce you to the brothers from the other cousins."

"This is Hua Ji's sitting hall, and this one next to it is Hesheng Hall...... Wang Julou also introduced all the way seriously, Chen Mu saluted one by one, and Wang Julou asked Chen Mu.

"I heard that Brother Xian is going to Keicho's General's Mansion?"

Chen Mu pretended to be flustered, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes......"

"Brothers, you should know that I have made a business with Zhang Zhidong to build an arsenal in Guangdong, although the Song family takes the lead, but Long Ji accounts for the lion's ......"

"Brothers, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be an eagle dog of the court, this arsenal gives birth to muskets and artillery, that is to protect the family and defend the country, so as not to lose life......"

"Besides, to build such a large field, Zhang Zhidong is not the governor of Liangguang, he can only recruit helpers locally, and all kinds of materials are also used locally, a factory really wants to be built, I am afraid that it can feed tens of thousands of people, to put it shamelessly, how much can accumulate some merits......"

Wang Julou sighed lightly, and said to Chen Mu sincerely: "Brother Xian doesn't need to explain, we all understand that in business, this is not a shameful thing, not to mention that this is a great benevolence and righteousness, we guys don't talk darkly, we can make a lot of money and make merits, we can't envy it......"

With Wang Julou's words, everyone echoed them, Chen Mu also smiled, and said to everyone: "When Zhang Zhidong left, Qingchang was transferred back to the town, just to protect this factory, so Qingchang and I also have some friendship......

"Although Fu Qingyin is an anti-bone boy, those who were captured are my Hong Shuntang's people, so I want to discuss with Qingchang to see if it is possible to rescue these brothers, after all, they are from my father's hall......"

Wang Julou and the others glanced at each other, and they all showed joy.

"Brother really wants to save people!"

"The virtuous brother repays his grievances with virtue, which is really admirable!"

Many bigwigs raised one after another, and Chen Mu only waved his hand humbly, and he didn't take the initiative to speak.

Wang Julou looked very embarrassed, but Li Sanjiang spoke.

"Chen Mu, everyone is Hong Ying, you can't see death without saving it, it's better to save the brothers in the other cousins, this kindness, I believe the guys will remember it."

"The Hongmen brothers are blessed and enjoy hardships together, and they should be repaid for their kindness, you know this best......"

Li Sanjiang's situation is actually not much better than Wang Julou, and Wang Julou is only a law enforcement elder and some members who surrender to Fu Qingyin and Yin Lizhang.

He, Li Sanjiang, supported Yin Lizhang openly, and even did not hesitate to oppose Chen Mu!

But Zhong Shuiyang trusted him, and others had nothing to say, this time he brought Wang Julou and others over, as if there had never been a quarrel with Chen Mu, which also made Chen Mu a little crying and laughing.

But Li Sanjiang's words are not unreasonable, it's just that he has some intention to kidnap Chen Mu with righteousness.

However, Chen Mu didn't care, as long as they took the initiative to speak, it would be enough.
