Chapter 416: How innocent are the wives and concubines around

After locking himself in the kitchen, Chen Mu began to make pills.

After all, he had been in Baozhilin for a long time, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running, and Chen Mu was also busy as if he was decent.

First, according to the prescription in his heart, he picked out all the medicinal materials, and without weighing the Chinese medicine, Chen Mu asked Sister Gu to go to the account room and borrow Sima Scale.

The herbs are roasted crisply with a simmer, and there is no medicine grinding and medicine pounding, so they can only be chopped with a kitchen knife first, and then mashed with the handle of the knife.

There is a lot of wild honey in the kitchen, which is the best ingredient for making honey balls.

Wu Huo boiled, simmered slowly, until it was covered with yellow foam, Chen Mu picked a chopstick, and the honey did not spread out when it dripped into the water, but sank to the bottom, even if the fire was collected.

All that remains is to mix the medicinal powder, stir constantly, form a ball, knead it into strips, and then pinch it down and knead it into a pill, which is considered to be done.

The production of this flower willow antidote pill was also a little unexpected for Chen Mu, because after kneading into a pill, there was a big bowl full of it, and it was estimated that it would be enough to eat it for ten days and half a month.

Chen Mu must hang Pu Ye's appetite, but he can't hand it over to him all at once, although there is only one recipe, but Chen Mu must pretend to be mysterious, pretend to be difficult, rotten things on the street, others will not believe it, let alone cherish it.

After thinking about it, Chen Mu took two or three days' worth from it, wrapped it in wax paper, and threw the rest into the stove.

When he arrived at Pu Ye's bed, Chen Mu offered the pill and said, "You take it for three or two days first, see the effect and then adjust the recipe." ”

Pu Ye couldn't wait to open the wax paper, but he saw that the honey pill was as transparent as jade, exuding a sweet and silky scent, like an elixir, and his eyes were also bright.

"Okay, good, Mr. Chen concocted it by himself, and it is a medicine to cure the disease!" As he spoke, he stuffed the honey pills into his mouth and chewed them carefully, as if he were eating the most precious delicacy, and he was reluctant to waste even a single cent.

Chen Mu also said at this time: "This Dandao is like spring all year round, the growth of medicinal herbs is too prosperous, the medicinal properties of herbs are greater than ours, if you want to consider the dosage, I must try the effectiveness of these medicines, and those people at the foot of the mountain are the best objects." ”

"Horizontal and vertical are used to sell, those who are in good health, the selling price will be higher, and you will not suffer a loss, but throw these medicinal materials into the warehouse, which is a real waste."

I thought that Pu Ye would refuse, but I didn't expect the other party to readily agree.

"Sir is really a bodhisattva, and it was because there were no doctors on the island before, otherwise who would be willing to watch these people die of illness? If there is a plague, the whole island will suffer......"

"Now Mr. is willing to save the life and help the wounded, that is unwanted, but ...... It's just this herb...... My medicine ......"

Chen Mu raised his hand: "Don't worry, I still have a number of this, Pu Ye's medicine, I don't dare to embezzle." ”

Pu Ye nodded: "Okay, good, that's good!" Hahaha! ”

"Come on, set up a banquet, and let the Seventh Lady entertain Mr. Chen for me!"

Saying this, Pu Ye apologized to Chen Mu on the bed again: "Pu is inconvenient to move, and the greeting is not good, this Xiaoqi is a native of Dandao, who knows the food and customs, and can speak Cantonese, so let her entertain Mr. Chen for me." ”

"Seventh Lady?" Chen Mu knew that Pu Ye's flower willow was not dyed for no reason, but he was afraid that these ladies around him would not have a good time.

Chen Mu's face was uncertain, and Pu Ye hurriedly explained: "Sir, don't worry too much, I'm sick...... It wasn't from the ladies, and I didn't have sex with them since I noticed that I wasn't feeling well......"

Chen Mu also smiled bitterly in his heart, Hualiu disease has an incubation period, the disease is hidden in the body, and when the symptoms appear, it is already very serious, it is impossible to detect such a big old man as Pu Ye, besides, this person is in a hurry, I don't know how many ladies there are behind the seventh lady, how can I bear not to touch these women?

Even so, Chen Mu didn't say anything directly on his face, just nodded, and followed Sister Gu to the restaurant on the first floor.

At this time, the restaurant has been properly arranged, and the huge dining table is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there are already seven or eight waiters standing next to them.

The Seventh Lady was already sitting at the table, and when she heard Chen Mu's footsteps coming downstairs, she turned around and saluted.

"The distinguished guests are here, Peng is shining, and the concubine is grateful to Mr. Chen for saving his life."

Although her Cantonese is very authentic, her choice of words and sentences is inevitably a bit old-fashioned, and it is really out of place with the surrounding environment.

Looking at these seven ladies again, Chen Mu was also taken aback.

Pu Ye said that the Seven Ladies were native to Honolulu, so they should be descendants of the Bosnians, and they should be brown-skinned and tall, but these Seventh Ladies were a little weird.

She is indeed tall enough, but she is like a bamboo pole, she is distressingly emaciated, her face is as pale as snow, you can even see the green tendons under the skin, her lips are bruised and even black, and you can see her black rotten teeth when she speaks!

She was wearing a cheongsam, but unfortunately she was too thin to hold up at all, and she looked like a big-headed doll, like a bamboo pole holding a big watermelon.

However, judging from the exposed parts of her hands and feet, her skin is fair and clean, and she is not contaminated with willow disease.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment, and finally thought of a possibility.

He had heard Prussian say that women in Sumatra and other places would eat raw opium for contraception, and some would eat mercury and the like for contraception.

Look at the teeth of the Seventh Lady, this figure, I am afraid that she has eaten things like tobacco and mercury, and she is talking about flower willow disease, she herself is poisonous, where can she be infected with other diseases!

Besides, if she tortures herself like this, it is estimated that Pu Ye has no interest in her, these seven ladies should be relatively behind, and the condition of the previous ladies is estimated to be not too good.

"Mr. Chen?" While Chen Mu was pondering, the Seventh Lady opened her mouth to greet again, and Chen Mu came back to his senses.

"It's a despicable faux pas...... Madame......"

"Think I'm too ugly?" The Seventh Lady spoke directly, and Chen Mu didn't know how to respond for a while.

After thinking about it, Chen Mu honestly lowered his voice and said, "Madam, there are some things that you can't eat, you still have to pay attention in the future, otherwise your body will really be unable to hold on......"

The Seventh Lady was slightly stunned, but still smiled slightly: "Mr. Chen is really a wonderful hand and benevolent, the heart of a fairy, but ...... It's better to eat than not to eat......"

Speaking of this, the Seventh Lady subconsciously looked at Sister Gu and the waiter next to her, and finally shut up.

"Forget it, chattering in front of distinguished guests is a concubine's gaffe, don't spoil Mr. Chen's Yaxing for dinner."

Chen Mu didn't say much anymore, but he could also feel from his words that most of the Seventh Lady had also been taken captive.

This meal was not as comfortable as eating raw fish at the foot of the mountain, Chen Mu said goodbye to the Seventh Lady, then packed up the medicinal herbs and prepared to go down the mountain.

was packing up, Sister Gu suddenly walked in, and she didn't care about etiquette, so she immediately unbuttoned her clothes.

"Sister Gu...... You're ......."

Sister Gu is not young anymore, although she is very well maintained and her appearance is good, but such a sudden move still startled Chen Mu.

Sister Gu didn't explain, and took off the necklace from her chest, but it was a pair of dog tooth ornaments that had already been polished.

Chen Mu also felt embarrassed, but Sister Gu didn't have such a thought, but just urgently asked Chen Mu.

"Mr. Chen, I'm tired of handing over this thing to that girl surnamed Gu, if she is really my sister, she will definitely recognize this thing!"

Chen Mu didn't say a word, put away the dogtooth necklace, thought about it, and asked Sister Chaogu: "Even if you know that she is your sister, what happens next?" ”

Sister Gu's face was gloomy and fell into a long silence.

Chen Mu didn't say much, picked up the bag containing the herbs, and gently patted Sister Gu's shoulder: "The next thing, let's talk about it next, don't think about it." ”

Sister Gu finally raised her head, bit her lower lip tightly, and didn't say anything after all.

Chen Mu didn't stay long, and under the leadership of the captain of the guard, he returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain.

The captain of the guard gathered the guards in the camp and on the coast, and whispered something, these people looked at Chen Mu one by one, and the meaning in their eyes was also unexpected.

Chen Mu didn't bother to pay attention to it, put the bag into the grass hut, and chatted with Nakun and the others first, and heard that the patients he treated had not deteriorated, so he was relieved.

"Mr. Chen, I'll come over tomorrow morning to pick you up the mountain." Since Chen Mu and the Seventh Lady had dinner at the same table, the captain of the guard had been a lot more polite to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu nodded, in response, the captain of the guard opened his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and estimated that he also wanted Chen Mu to diagnose him, but in the end he couldn't pull off his face and walked out sullenly.

With the medicine in his hand, Chen Mu also had the confidence to treat those slaves who came to seek treatment, but now that it was dark, Chen Mu came to Agumei's thatched hut first.

The four of Agumei have now swept away the insensitivity of the past, but whenever there is some trouble, there is a murderous aura in their eyes.

Seeing that it was Chen Mu, he relaxed.

"Is that you?"

"I heard that you went to the mountains, why did you come back again?" Although he tried his best to suppress it, Chen Mu could still hear the displeasure in Ah Gumei's words.

"Do you blame me for not killing that guy on the mountain?" Chen Mu didn't hide too much.

Ah Gu Mei pursed her lips: "Kill him, you can't get down, I know ......"

"But if it were you, even if you couldn't get down, you would still kill that person, wouldn't you?" Chen Mu asked with a smile.

Ah Gumei bit her lower lip, nodded in the end, but shook her head again: "You and we are not from the same world after all......

Chen Mu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It may not be ......."

Ah Gumei's eyes suddenly lit up, but Chen Mu waved his hand: "Don't mention this, someone asked me to transfer something to you." ”

Without saying much, Chen Mu handed the dogtooth ornament to Ah Gumei.

When she saw this thing, she was also dumbfounded, and it took a long time for tears to burst out of her eyes.

Without saying anything more, Chen Mu already knew the answer.
