When Du Mei returned to the Song Mansion, she was already very familiar with it, and she wore flowers and willows to the water house. saw Fengxian sitting in the house with a girl in plain clothes, and whispered a word or two of comfort from time to time.

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Is this Xiaolian?" ”

"Meizi, you're here, Xiaolian's mother is gone, poor one, you can persuade her quickly." Seeing that she was coming, Fengxian hurriedly stood up and pressed her eyes with a silk handkerchief.

"Hello Miss Du." Xiaolian's eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and she got up and bowed her head to bless.

Du Mei looked at the girl in front of her, about twenty-eight years old, petite, slightly dark-skinned, wearing a pale white diagonal skirt, only the cuffs were embroidered with light blue moire. Although she lost her mother not long ago, when she returned to the Song Mansion, she still had to act according to the rules, and she must not wear filial piety to add bad luck to the main family.

Fengxian is reasonable and sympathetic, she and Xiaolian are supporting each other, although they are called master and servant, they are actually sisters, and they naturally want to accompany them to tear a handful of sympathy tears.

"The festival mourns and changes, Sister Xiaolian still needs to take care of her body." Du Mei's eyes couldn't help but be hot, and she walked up and held her hand. Du Mei also lost her father, and she knows the pain best.

"Oh, don't be bitter, sit down and drink tea. Today, when you go to visit the prison, how is it going? Feng Xian diverted the conversation, Mai Dong reported early in the morning that Du Meiyin would come late when he went to visit the prison.

"I'm afraid this is difficult......" Du Mei frowned, and recounted the situation in the prison.

"Hey, the world is difficult, and when you enter there, you really eat people and don't spit out bones." Feng Xian couldn't help but sigh when she heard that Du Mei had spent four or five hundred taels of silver on a visit to the prison.

"It would be nice if spending money could put this to rest." Du Mei took a sip of tea and said quietly.

The three women looked at each other, none of them had ever encountered such a thing, there was no useful way, they were just in a hurry.

Du Mei taught Xiaolian the method of moxibustion, and informed her of the dietary taboos. Du Mei remembered to tell Niu Hei about the situation in the prison cells, and after lunch, she braved the scorching midday sun to go back.

The heat was unbearable, and Liu Gengsheng sent Du Mei to Sheshan Town and turned back. Niu Er's family is like a market, and the dog and eight catties come to help every day, although they can't solve any problems, but there are always some hearsay, true and false news can be transmitted.

Pang Zi and Xiaobao have to come to sit every day, when the black dragon is there, she can be ruthless, but when it really comes to such a situation, she is just an authentic country woman, panicking all day long, and she has no idea.

The arrival of Du Mei has given both families new expectations. Du Mei naturally hid the fact that the black dragon was broken in prison, and only told them that everything was fine.

Hearing this, a room full of people chattered happily. Du Mei quietly pulled down the corner of Niu San's clothes and turned to the corner to avoid people.

"What's wrong?" Niu San was still immersed in the excitement of breathing a sigh of relief, and when he saw Du Mei's serious face, he asked suspiciously.

"Brother Niu and Brother Hei are not at home, Sister-in-law Pang has Xiaobao to tie in, and she is a woman, your mother and sister-in-law can't stand the fright, in the future, the Niu and Hei families will point to you as a man." Du Mei said in a deep voice.

"Could it be...... Is there anything else bad that can't be done? Niu San suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he instinctively felt that Du Mei still had something bad to say.

"Brother Niu asked me to tell you that he hid the money under the bricks under his bed." Du Mei looked around warily. At this time, Niu Er entered

The prison is not what it used to be. It's no wonder that he made money selling ice at the beginning, and he was too ostentatious, but now, I'm afraid that the wall has ears and is remembered by black-hearted people.

"One person hides, ten people can't find it. He can really hide! Niu San scratched his hair.

"This is your brother's hard-earned money, you must not spend it indiscriminately, he is waiting for this help." Du Mei knew that he was spoiled, but he didn't know that the family business was difficult.

"I know it's powerful, and I won't tell anyone else, don't worry." Niu San nodded repeatedly. He is a young man in his early twenties, and Niu Er has had an accident in the past few days, and he has forced him to take the lead in his own way.

"That's it." Du Mei saw that he seemed to be growing, so he was not surprised.

After the two finished speaking, they were about to go back to the hall when they saw two of Black Jiaolong's followers, Erdan and King Kong, coming in a hurry.

"What are you two doing here?" Du Mei saw that the two of them were dusty, and their shoes and trouser legs were full of white dust, as if they had been on the road for a long time.

"Meizi, you're here, I just wanted to find you." Erdan raised his arm and wiped it on his face. Since something happened to Niu Hei, not only did the two families believe in Du Mei immensely, but even most of their followers were convinced, and it was all up to her.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei stood under the eaves and asked anxiously.

"That's the ......" The two of them were so thirsty that their throats and eyes were smoking, and they couldn't wait for the freshly poured tea, so they picked up the dog's leftovers and eight catties of cups, and drank them in one go.

"No, we are idle, and I am worried about the two masters, it just so happens that the officials in the yamen have no labor, so they are recruiting people in our town, and as soon as we sum up, we will go. Want to see what kind of golden bumps are hidden in the frozen mountains? Bring so many people from the yamen. The second egg who drank the water picked up the pu fan and fanned it violently.

"What are you talking about? It really gave our brothers a little bit of a way. King Kong said.

"Oh, I'm dying, don't sell it, if you have something to say, let it go!" Bajin scolded impatiently.

"What's the hurry, isn't it right away, that's what they're looking for." Erdan rolled his eyes at Bajin, took out a cloth wrapped thing from his pocket, and hit it layer by layer, and what caught his eye was a puddle of white flower stone powder mixed with small pebbles.

"What is this?" Du Mei asked with a frown.

"I don't know, I found it in the cave where the ice was mined. There are also in other places, but not as many as there, just grab a handful. King Kong shook his head, they were already going with selfish intentions, and they didn't dare to ask more nonsense, for fear of being discovered.

"Give me this, I'll ask my uncle later." Du Mei hadn't seen it, she thought that Zhong Yu was well-informed, maybe she knew something.

"That's exactly what we want to do with you." Erdan nodded again and again.

"That's nothing else, I'll go first. Go and help, and if you get any news, tell us as soon as possible. Du Mei said to Erdan and King Kong. Although it is still at a loss, it never hurts to know more information and know yourself and your opponent.

"Whoa." Everyone in the room nodded.

Du Mei packed her cloth bag and went straight to the Yujitang Medical Center.

The little guy on the counter dozed off like a chicken pecking rice, and when he saw Du Mei coming here, he hurriedly cheered up and said, "Doctor Zhong has a lunch break, I'm afraid I haven't gotten up yet." ”

"Ah, don't worry, I'll go around the pharmacy." Dumay lifted his foot into the backcourt. She knew that Zhong Yu usually saw a doctor in the morning, and if she was okay in the afternoon, she would watch the system in the backyard

medicinal.

The medicine field in the afternoon was much busier than in the front shop, Du Mei came, and she was not polite, she rolled up her sleeves to help with the work, drying the medicine, grinding the medicine, cutting the medicine, she did it handy. From the master steward to the apprentice in the pharmacy, they are all very kind to Du Mei.

"When did you come?" Zhong Yu walked in with his hands in his hands, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Du Mei was busy.

"Uncle Zhong Yu, I just came here for a while." Du Mei raised his sleeve, pressed the beads of sweat from the tip of his nose, and said with a smile.

"Do it for them, and you come with me." Zhong Yu turned around and went out, Du Mei hurriedly handed over the medicinal materials to the guy beside him, and trotted to follow.

"Niu Er's matter, how is it going?" If you want to say that you are not worried at all, Zhong Yu can't do it. Today, I finally caught this nosy girl, and I wanted to interrogate one or two.

"That's the ......" Du Mei naturally had nothing to hide in front of Zhong Yu, and told Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong the situation in prison one by one.

"These two people have also suffered." Zhong Yu sat next to the big case in the study and groaned.

"I'm just afraid that their suffering will be in vain, and the county lord will not let him go, I'm afraid that he can't make the decision on this matter." Du Mei said worriedly.

"What you said is not unreasonable, I heard from the people who came to see the doctor in Hanshan Town that the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, the Ordnance Supervisor, the Metropolitan Water Supervisor, and the General Supervisor have all sent experts in the industry to investigate in the mountains. I don't know what is going on with such a big move? Zhong Yu quite agreed with Du Mei's words.

"By the way, Erdan and King Kong went to Frozen Mountain to work as coolies, and learned that the government wanted this, so they secretly smuggled some out." Du Mei spread the cloth bag on the big case.

"What is this?" Zhong Yu picked up the cloth bag and put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"I don't know, Erdan just said that the hole is all over the place." Du Mei frowned and said, doesn't my uncle know either?

Zhong Yu twisted the powder with his fingers, put a little on the tip of his tongue and tasted it.

"Don't ......," Du Mei shouted. I don't know what it is, but if it's poisonous, what's the matter!

"It's okay, don't be afraid. You light the lamp. Zhong Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped the powder off the tip of his tongue.

"Oh." Du Mei obediently complied. At this time, the sun was shining outside, and she muttered to herself, why did she light the lamp.

Zhong Yu took out a waste silver needle, picked out some white powder, and burned it on the fire. With a "poof", the flames suddenly turned purple!

"It's saltpeter." Zhong Yu put down the silver needle and clapped his hands.

"What's the use of that?" Du Mei took a closer look.

"Some are used in medicine, such as saltpeter and realgar, which are finely ground and made into fire dragon pills, which are used to treat waist and abdominal pain, headaches, etc." Zhong Yu lowered his head and played with the powder.

"That's not a good thing." Du Mei said with a drag on his cheeks.

"It's a good thing to cure diseases and save people, but saltpeter has a more important use, that is, it is made into gunpowder with sulfur, charcoal, etc.! Generally, saltpeter still needs to be boiled and purified, but I didn't expect that there is such a good one on the frozen mountain! Zhong Yu said worriedly.

"Gunpowder?" Du Mei didn't know.

"Do you know why the two kicks explode? It's because of the use of gunpowder. "It's a time of peace and prosperity, and it's not surprising that Du Mei hasn't seen it.

"I see, is the government going to take this away? Niu Hei and the two are in danger! Du May's exclamation blurted out. 2k reading web
