Chapter 334: Creature Maniacs Get Along
Chen Mu moved out of Henry Wilson is just a "fox and fake tiger", lest Isabella think that she has nothing to rely on, but I didn't expect Isabella to have heard of Henry Wilson's name.
"You know him?"
Isabella snorted coldly: "I don't know each other, I'm too familiar!" ”
Britain and France have had a long history of struggle, and even in modern times, they are still hostile to each other, and even overseas, whether politically or militarily, friction and conflict are actually very large.
However, foreigners are like this, interests are paramount, they can be like brothers for the sake of interests, and they can also turn against each other for the sake of interests.
Judging from Isabella's tone, she and this Henry Wilson were not friends, and Chen Mu was immediately relieved.
"Since we know each other, it's better, and we got off the boat to catch up together?"
Chen Mu deliberately provoked her, although Isabella knew the details of Chen Mu, but Chen Mu was mixed with Huang Xing and others, she also knew, and it was not surprising that Chen Mu knew Henry Wilson.
What's more, Chen Mu took a dugong and named her by name, it was difficult for her to believe it or not.
She is such a competitive woman, but she didn't fall for Chen Mu, and said to Chen Mu: "He may be a master in your eyes, but in my eyes, he is not worth my personal visit!" ”
Chen Mu succeeded, and his heart was also happy, but his face was still the same: "One more friend and one more road, why bother, but also, Miss Isabella is such a noble identity, then forget it." ”
After mentioning Henry Wilson, Isabella's people really didn't dare to covet the manatee's skeleton and skin, and stayed on the ship honestly.
After docking, Isabella drove Chen Mu off the boat.
"Send someone back to check, and in addition, you must keep an eye on it, don't let him run away!" Isabella's soldiers divided into two ways, sent people back to investigate the authenticity of the counterfeit banknotes, and asked people to follow Chen Mu so as not to fall for Chen Mu.
Chen Mu walked in the port area with a lion as tall as him and a huge skeleton, which was really in the spotlight!
However, Chen Mu had a knife on his body, and they didn't dare to come up and ask questions, but they covered up the traces of the stalker, Rao was Chen Mu was alert, and he didn't find the person sent by Isabella to follow.
Chen Mu was not familiar with the place, so he couldn't stay in the port, so he immediately intercepted a person, asked the way to the Daguan Flower and Herb Museum, and walked forward quickly.
At that time, Hong Kong had been occupied by the British, but Victoria Harbour became a paradise for overseas colonists and explorers.
Although Henry Wilson had a lot of money, in order to take care of the flowers and plants and provide a suitable environment for these plants to grow, the Grand View Flower and Grass Museum was built outside the city.
Chen Mu has a knife on his body, and a lion escort, although he is wearing fisherman's clothes and barefoot, he is carrying a huge skeleton, this dress is like the god of Mazu Niangniang, and it is not a problem to ask for directions.
Half an hour later, Chen Mu finally came to the Daguan Flower and Herb Museum.
The botanical garden is also far from the eye, and the towers and spires of the huge manor are particularly eye-catching, and there are many black slaves working in it.
And the man who guards the manor is an authentic ghost guy, wearing a big hat and carrying a martini rifle, which is also terrifying.
Chen Mu walked to the front, and even though the guards stopped him, Chen Mu hurriedly said in slightly broken English: "I am a friend of Mr. Henry, please go in and report it, and say that a friend from Xinhui has sent him a beast." ”
Chen Mu's dress had already startled these guards, and when he heard the word beast, he subconsciously looked at the skeleton, and after a while, he finally reported it.
Thanks to Pu Wu's good idea, Chen Mu finally went well.
The guard went in for a long time, and a carriage drove out, Chen Mu thought that someone was going out, so he immediately avoided it, who knew that the carriage stopped, and a bearded English man in a top hat walked down.
"Who's looking for me?"
As soon as he got out of the carriage, the ghost guy asked the guard, and the guard became restrained and looked at Chen Mu.
Henry Wilson turned his head, saw this skeleton, the whole person trembled, and walked over quickly, not daring to touch it!
"This ...... This is...... It's a dugong! ”
He could make out the real body by a skeleton, and he thought he had seen it before.
"Yes......" Chen Mu was about to speak, but Henry Wilson couldn't wait to pull him over.
"Hurry, hurry! Let's go inside! Let's go inside! ”
As he spoke, he glanced around, and then commanded the guards: "Close the manor, and I will not see anyone today!" ”
Seeing this, the guards also became nervous, put their feet together, and saluted, "Yes, sir!" ”
Chen Mu didn't move, and Henry Wilson was also anxious, shouting at Chen Mu: "Come in quickly!" ”
Chen Mu also smiled bitterly, because many people followed along the way to watch the excitement, and when they arrived at this botanical garden, the big lion ran out, and Chen Mu carried the big skeleton, and there was no way to chase it.
"I ...... I have a friend who needs to wait......"
Henry Wilson also frowned: "How long will it take?" ”
Chen Mu was also helpless, because even he didn't know how long he would have to wait, so he thought about it, so he had to say to him: "You let the guards release an empty gun." ”
He originally thought that Henry Wilson would hesitate, but this old guy's attention was all on the skeleton, and he didn't even ask Chen Mu's name, he was also a person who fell into madness for the sake of rare beasts, where would he care so much.
He snatched a gun from the guard's hand, clicked on it, and fired a shot into the air with a thud!
As soon as the shot rang out, it didn't take long for the big lion to rush like a gust of wind, with a large piece of flesh in his mouth!
"This ...... This is not my lion!! Henry Wilson was also startled and hurriedly retreated.
However, seeing the big lion guarding Chen Mu's side, he also calmed down: "This ...... Is this your lion? ”
Chen Mu shook his head: "No, this is my friend." ”
Henry Wilson's eyes lit up: "Good! You're good! ”
He is a crazy biologist and explorer, and he is obsessed with gardens, likes nature, and his concept is to treat animals and plants well.
And he exclaimed that it was not his lion, which meant that there were lions on his estate, and he was not so afraid of lions.
"Ahh He suddenly screamed, and subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the piece of meat in the big lion's mouth, but the big lion had a strong sense of self-defense, and immediately let out an angry roar, and he retreated.
Henry Wilson covered his forehead with a painful face, tears coming out of his eyes.
"My elk......
Chen Mu was also embarrassed, and wanted to come to the big lion to enter the manor and tear this person's elk alive.
However, Henry Wilson quickly recovered, and said to himself: "It's okay Henry, it's okay, this dugong is more rare, yes, that's right, you should think so!" ”
After comforting himself like a madman, he said to Chen Mu.
"Come in with me, my dear friend!" Henry Wilson was in a hurry, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly rush out and rob the dugong's skeleton.
Chen Mu had no choice but to follow in, Henry Wilson asked the two of them to carry the skeleton carefully, and then he was not at ease, so he gently supported him on the side, for fear of falling off a little bit of meat residue, but he pushed Chen Mu into his carriage.
Along the way, Chen Mu found out that this carriage was used for transportation, because the manor was too big!
Henry Wilson was really a madman, even if he was covered in sweat, he didn't care, and when he arrived at the main house, he asked people to unload the skeleton, ignoring Chen Mu, and went into the room by himself, closed the door, and seemed to be racing against time to process and preserve the skeleton.
Chen Mu and the big lion were left outside, which was also extremely embarrassing, but it didn't last long, and a humble and polite old housekeeper walked out.
"Mr. Henry is an obsessive man, and the work of receiving VIPs will be entrusted to us, so Mr. Trouble will come with me."
Chen Mu has long seen that this Henry Wilson is all focused on biological research, and he is not very human, let alone pay attention to etiquette, such a person is more interesting.
The old housekeeper was a very thoughtful person, and he did not despise Chen Mu because he was dressed as a fisherman, so he first asked Chen Mu to take the lion to the independent animal pen and let people take a large amount of raw meat to feed.
After settling the lion, the old housekeeper took Chen Mu to the bathroom again, and asked a maid from an unknown country to help Chen Mu take a bath and change clothes.
Although Chen Mu was very uncomfortable, the old housekeeper insisted on it, and Chen Mu was at ease with what happened.
This maid is dark-skinned, she should be of Southeast Asian race, and she never dares to raise her head, but her hands and feet are light and gentle, and she is very professional in her service.
The old housekeeper can also see that Chen Mu is not an ordinary fisherman, after all, Chen Mu is familiar with the foreigners, and his gestures have his own charm, not to mention that he also knows English, and he has a French accent in English, presumably the old housekeeper's eyesight is not difficult to see.
After changing into a soft and close-fitting gentleman's clothes, the old housekeeper had already prepared the meal, but Henry Wilson still hadn't come out, so Chen Mu had to eat first.
Dining etiquette is to be taken into account, and the old butler is waiting on the side, and when he sees this, his eyes are also shining, and he seems to be proud of his keen eyesight.
Chen Mu also said to him, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”
The old butler was even more proud, squinting his eyes and smiling, and said, "You are a distinguished guest, this is what I should do, sir." ”
Chen Mu didn't say much, just after eating, Henry Wilson finally walked out.
"Who are you? How did you eat it at my house? ”
Chen Mu also couldn't laugh or cry: "Dugong, sir." ”
"Oh yes, yes, yes!" Henry Wilson patted his forehead, and he also came to his senses, and asked Chen Mu: "Old watch, how much does your dugong cost, I will pay it immediately." ”
Chen Mu had already seen that this Henry Wilson was unsociable, but he didn't expect him to be so upright.
Residents of Hong Kong Island will refer to the people from Guangdong as Jiangwai Laobiao, which is not too friendly a title.
Henry Wilson probably wanted to fit in with local life, but it was self-defeating.
"My surname is Chen."
"Oh, I see, Chen Laobiao, how much are you going to ask for this dugong?"
Chen Mu couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't bother to pay attention to it, and replied to him: "I don't want money, but I need you to help me do something." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that."
"Okay, deal!" Henry Wilson stretched out his hand quickly, Chen Mu was also stunned, this guy's brain is still abnormal, so he doesn't ask what is the matter?
