Henry Wilson suddenly asked the question of whether he likes to eat crabs, and Chen Mu was a little surprised.

Because he knows that foreigners are rough men, where do they know how to eat crabs?

However, it is said that the French cooking skills are not bad, but Henry Wilson is an Englishman, and it is estimated that when he asks about this section, there is no good sign.

Sure enough, Chen Mu didn't respond, and old Henry began to say: "This is a trouble to eat crabs, some people like to let the servants remove all the crab meat and enjoy the taste of crab meat and crab paste." ”

"But I like the process of breaking down the crab shell myself, and if I can, I'm even willing to watch the crab grow and eat it little by little."

"I enjoy the process, not the result, you know?"

Hearing this, Chen Mu also had some premonitions, but Old Henry continued.

"I have wealth, status and prestige, I just want to do what I love, I have been enjoying the results since I was a child, I prefer to explore and create something on my own, I want to achieve more than I want to enjoy it."

Henry Wilson's statement is equivalent to a euphemistic rejection of Chen Mu's suggestion to "buy bones with a thousand dollars".

His "crab talk" is nothing more than to tell Chen Mu that he prefers to search for those creatures by himself, and it will be uninteresting for people to send them to the door, and he will not be able to feel a sense of accomplishment.

To be honest, Chen Mu was a little admired, but he also didn't give up in his heart, because he needed to find a legitimate reason for Honglian and the others to enter the manor.

"Then why did you buy my dugong instead of looking for it yourself?"

Chen Mu can be said to hit the nail on the head, and he hit the flaw that is enough to break the "crab theory".

Old Henry was slightly stunned, then shook his head, and said, "This dugong is not an ordinary creature, I have been looking for it for many years, and I have traveled all over the world......"

"So, even if it was delivered to my door, it was an unexpected surprise for me."

When it came to the debate, Chen Mu didn't lose anyone, and immediately retorted: "Those people who sent them to the door are also very likely to have rare creatures like dugongs, and there will also be unexpected surprises, right?" ”

Old Henry looked at Chen Mu, still shaking his head: "I will feel delicious when I eat crabs once in a while, but if I eat them every day, I will be tired of it, and I won't even want to eat it again in the future......"

"Surprises are really happy, but if there are surprises every day, or even a lot of surprises every day, then it's no longer a surprise......"

As if worried that Chen Mu would refute him again, Old Henry didn't give Chen Mu the time to respond, and continued: "When the surprise becomes dull, life will become boring and boring, this is harming me, not helping me, do you understand?" ”

"I know you're a smart kid and have a lot of ideas, but the exhibition is still over, and you don't need to say anything more."

Old Henry's stubbornness, just like his obsession with those creatures, would not change easily, and Chen Mu was also a little disappointed in his heart.

However, Chen Mu soon realized that he had ignored a problem after all, a big problem!

If he left the manor and went to look for Red Lotus and his brothers, it would be meaningless to publish in the newspaper, he would have to wait for his brothers to come to him.

Although Old Henry's manor is heavily guarded, and even foreigners can't enter, it doesn't mean that Chen Mu's friends can't come in!

Thinking like this, Chen Mu surged up with hope again, and pretended to ask Old Henry casually.

"If I invite a few friends to come in and have a look, you won't say no, right?"

Old Henry seemed surprised: "You actually have friends?" ”

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "Why can't I have friends?" ”

Old Henry also smiled: "Looking back now, you really looked like a ...... that day Like a child of nature...... He was followed by a lion with a dugong skeleton on his shoulder and a long knife on his back...... I didn't expect the Oriental people to be so powerful......"

Chen Mu was also very useful in his heart, but he could also hear what Old Henry meant: "You are saying that I am like a wild man, so I will not have friends, right?" ”

Old Henry's mind was pierced by Chen Mu, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said to Chen Mu at the moment: "Don't get me wrong, Old Henry, I have never been a stingy ghost, you are my old watch, your friends are old Henry's friends, of course they are welcome to be guests!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, your old watch is still good." ”

Old Henry sighed lightly: "You are still the first ...... to say that I am a good person"

Thinking about Old Henry's way of life, Chen Mu is not surprised.

"Without further ado, tell me how you trained the lion and why it was so obedient to you?"

Where could Chen Mu answer this question, if it weren't for the people in the manor to help feed him, he wouldn't know how to feed this big lion.

The reason why this big lion is so obedient is entirely because Chen Mu still carries the pig-killing knife left by Shu Dong.

Chen Mu was thinking about how to answer this question, but Old Willy walked in from outside and reported softly: "There are a few people outside who say that they are friends of Mr. Chen......

Chen Mu was overjoyed, and he was also a little expectant, but he didn't know if it was Yang Zhaochun, Huang Xing and others, or Yang Dachun and Honglian's gang.

Old Henry asked the butler, "Who are they?" ”

The old butler hesitated a little, walked two steps, but whispered a few words to Henry Wilson, and the old Henry's eyes suddenly lit up, and his sharp eyes stared at Chen Mu deadly.

"Old watch, aren't these friends of yours serious people......"

Chen Mu's heart was also chuckled, and it should be Yang Zhaochun and Huang Xing.

Because Yang Dachun and Red Lotus Wei Guzhi's gang had never been to Hong Kong at all, it was impossible for the housekeeper Lao Wei Li to recognize them.

But Yang Zhaochun has a lot of fame in Hong Kong, and he also runs his own newspaper, so he can be regarded as a celebrity.

Although Henry Wilson was too lazy to pay attention to the affairs of the world, the old butler was a thoughtful and meticulous person, and it was impossible for him to be ignorant of the outside world.

Old Henry is so vigilant, it is estimated that Hong Kong also knows the ambitions of Yang Zhaochun and others, and he doesn't want Old Henry to have too much to do with these people.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu was not ambiguous: "I came to Hong Kong to find my friends, but I am new to Hong Kong and I am not familiar with life, so I want to let them come to me through the newspaper, old Henry, you won't turn them away, right?" ”

Henry Wilson looked at the old butler, then at Chen Mu, and finally shook his head and said, "My old Henry is a good talker, since he is a friend of the old cousin, let's invite them all in." ”

"This ......" The old butler seemed to hesitate, but he knew that his master was a man of his own words, so he did not linger any longer, and soon brought everyone in.

Chen Mu was also a little unable to sit still, he was guarding outside the door early, and when he saw a group of people coming over, he looked over.

The leader was really Yang Zhaochun, Huang Xing, Du Xingwu and others, and to Chen Mu's surprise, Yang Dachun, Honglian and others were also in the team!

The feeling of surprise of reuniting after a long absence filled Chen Mu's chest, and Chen Mu couldn't wait to run out immediately.

But old Henry spoke.

"You didn't say you had so many friends......

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Chen Mu also quipped: "What? Old Henry wouldn't be unentertained, would he? ”

Henry Wilson got angry: "How is it possible, old Henry is not a stingy person, he will receive them with the most thoughtful service!" ”

Chen Mu smiled slyly, didn't say more, and walked forward quickly.

"Chen Mu, it's really you!" Yang Zhaochun smiled and shook hands with Chen Mu.

Huang Xing also said: "As soon as I came to Hong Kong, I made such a big news, my brother is really a thunderous means......

Chen Mu shook hands with them one by one, and at this time, Honglian walked forward, her eyes were already full of tears.

"You ......" Before Chen Mu could speak, the red lotus had already thrown into his arms, and regardless of the eyes of so many people, Wei Guzhi and the others turned their heads, as if they were very ashamed.

Although the times are different, it takes a lot of courage to make such a move in broad daylight, and the two are not husband and wife.

However, everyone knows that they almost experienced life and death, and now they are reunited, and they can't help but be happy, which is also human nature.

Everyone asked about Chen Mu's situation, and Chen Mu also said something briefly.

However, Chen Mu asked about the current situation on their side, but Yang Zhaochun and the others kept silent and just changed the topic.

At this moment, old Henry also followed, and said to Chen Mu: "It turned out to be a beautiful young lady, no wonder you are so nervous......

Regarding Old Henry's ridicule, Chen Mu was not ambiguous, pointed to the red lotus, and introduced him: "This is my fiancée." ”

"This is Mr. Yang Zhaochun...... "Chen Mu introduced them one by one, but Old Henry was not very interested, and even a little unhappy.

"I know Mr. Yang, who opened the Fu Yan Cultural Society in Jiezhi Street, Central, to teach English, right?"

Yang Zhaochun also smiled awkwardly: "Yes, Mr. Henry hasn't seen you for a long time......"

Old Henry pursed his mouth, but in the end he still stretched out his hand, shook hands with Yang Zhaochun, and instructed the old butler: "Receiving them with the highest standard is my promise to Chen Laobiao." ”

Old Willy, the butler, nodded, and Henry Wilson walked back first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me." The old housekeeper respectfully led the way in front and brought Chen Mu and the others to the banquet hall.

A dozen maids lined up, and the table was soon filled with exquisite refreshments, but the English people were not like other foreigners, they preferred to drink tea, and the tea was also of the highest quality.

Chen Mu then asked, "Mr. Yang, do you have a disagreement with Mr. Henry?" ”

Yang Zhaochun was also a little embarrassed: "It's a little misunderstanding......"

"Mr. Henry is very obsessed with gardens, and has asked me for a lot of information, and I have some friendships, but a few years ago, Brother Sun went to England and was arrested by the Qing people in the British Mansion, and I asked Mr. Henry to rescue him......"

"It's just that Mr. Henry didn't agree to me, so I was very angry, and in the end, it was Mr. Condeli, the provost of the Hong Kong College of Western Medicine, who reached out......"

"I couldn't get angry, but once I said something unpleasant about Mr. Henry in the newspaper, and we didn't talk to each other again......

Chen Mu knew that Henry Wilson was a person who didn't understand human feelings, but he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship, and he didn't know what to say at the moment, so he had to change the topic.

"How are you doing?"

Hearing Chen Mu's question, Yang Zhaochun and Huang Xing glanced at each other, their faces were embarrassed, and they hesitated for a long time before asking Chen Mu.

"Chen Mu, it's not a secret, the Qing court sent people to search everywhere, and they have sneaked into Hong Kong, we are in a worrying situation, Mr. Henry seems to be good to you, I don't know if you can ask him for help, let us live here for a while, and avoid the limelight for a while?"

Chen Mu had expected that the situation would not be too good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, he just wanted Henry Wilson to help hide it, but I was afraid that it would not be so easy.
