Si Muran felt a little suffocated and her breathing was a little rapid. Pei Chenshuo let go of her lips and moved his kiss to her ear. Si Muran felt her whole body go numb and she did not even remember to resist.
Pei Chenshuo's hand moved around her body and gently undid the belt on her chest. Her outer shirt slid down, revealing Si Muran's fair and beautiful collarbone. Pei Chenshuo's lips slowly moved to her neck, savoring her fragrance.
Just as Pei Chenshuo was about to make his next move, he heard Chen Yong and his wife's panicked voices from the room next door.""Pearl, what's wrong? Ah Yong, what's wrong with Zhu 'er?"
Pearl was the maiden name of the daughter of the Chen couple. Pei Chenshuo immediately woke up when he heard the sound and stopped moving. Si Muran also woke up from her dazed state and quickly sat up.
"Wait here, I'll go take a look." Pei Chenshuo caressed Si Muran's head and said in a tender voice, then got off the bed and left.
Si Muran was in a daze for a moment. She lowered her head and realized that her outer shirt had been unbuttoned by Pei Chenshuo. Si Muran hurriedly fastened her clothes. Her mind was filled with her and Pei Chenshuo's intimate moments just now. Thinking about it, Si Muran could not help but cover her face. She was so embarrassed.
Seeing that Pei Chenshuo had not returned, Si Muran stood up and walked over. Mr. and Mrs. Chen were anxiously surrounding the child on the bed while Pei Chenshuo was checking on her condition.
"What happened to Pearl?" Si Muran walked over and asked with concern. However, she saw that Zhu 'er, who was lying on the bed, was blushing and looked very uncomfortable.
"It seems that he has an emergency illness. It's better to hurry and call a doctor.”Pei Chenshuo said to the Chen couple.
Chen Yong's face was full of worry as he replied somewhat anxiously,""We really don't have the money to treat the child.”
Consort Li was wiping her tears at the side, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at her daughter.
Pei Chenshuo looked at Si Muran and pulled her aside.""Do you know how to refine refined salt?”
Si Muran immediately understood what Pei Chenshuo meant and asked,""Don't tell me you want to?"
Pei Chenshuo nodded." They saved our lives. We can't just leave them to die." Therefore, I want to sell illegal salt to earn some silver to treat Pearl's illness.”
"But refining refined salt is quite complicated.”Si Muran had also searched through the Encyclopedia before. The program was indeed very complicated.
Pei Chenshuo replied firmly," It's alright. You just need to tell me what to do and what I need. Leave the rest to me."”
Si Muran nodded." Alright, I'll copy down the specific steps for you."”
Pei Chenshuo asked Chen Yong for help. Although Chen Yong did not know what Pei Chenshuo wanted to do, he heard that Pei Chenshuo could save his daughter, so Chen Yong did not ask further.
After Si Muran finished writing down the steps for refining refined salt, she said to Chen Yong,""Brother Chen, I need a sieve, a hammer, an iron pot, and a stone mill. Do you have these things?”
"Both," Chen Yong nodded.
Si Muran was relieved and handed the written steps to Pei Chenshuo.""Let's get some salt mines first."
When Chen Yong heard about the salt mine, although he was curious, he didn't ask much and just said,""I'm familiar with that place. I'll take you there.”
"Alright." Pei Chenshuo kept the paper and instructed Si Muran,""Help sister-in-law take care of Pearl first. We'll be back in a while.”
Si Muran responded and watched as Chen Yong and Pei Chenshuo disappeared into the night.
After about an hour, Chen Yong and Pei Chenshuo returned with the ores they had obtained from the salt mine. Si Muran looked at the ores and said,""Put the ore into the stone mill and crush it first. Brother Chen, I still need a wooden barrel and linen, as well as a simple funnel.”
"Alright, no problem."”
Pei Chenshuo placed the salt mine into the grinding hole of the stone mill. Chen Yong pushed the stone mill, and soon, brown salt grains flowed out. Si Muran collected the crushed salt grains in a wooden barrel and diluted them with water. She then used linen to remove the impurities. After several rounds of screening, the mineral substances in the salt mine were completely removed.
Pei Chenshuo looked at the steps. The next step was to remove the toxic substances from the salt. "You wrote that you want to use charcoal. Are you sure you didn't write it wrong?”Pei Chenshuo asked curiously.
Si Muran shrugged and replied," Of course it's written correctly. The function of this charcoal is to absorb toxic substances. Therefore, using charcoal to remove the poison in the salt water is the most suitable."”
Pei Chenshuo was interested in this idea and said,""In the future, tell me everything you know about this strange thing. I'm getting more and more interested in this brain of yours.”
"You wish." Si Muran glared at him.”
Pei Chenshuo was about to argue when he saw Chen Yong bring the charcoal over, so he stopped talking. Pei Chenshuo used a simple funnel made by Chen Yong to break the charcoal into pieces and put them in, then filtered the salt water.
"Look, the color has changed." Chen Yong exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at the salt water flowing out.
Si Muran squatted down and looked at the color of the salt water. Indeed, it had become much cleaner.
Pei Chenshuo recalled what Si Muran had told him earlier. So this charcoal really had such an effect.
After the salt water was filtered, Pei Chenshuo looked at the liquid and asked,""How do we turn these things into salt?”
Si Muran pointed to a large iron pot at the side. Pei Chenshuo immediately understood."You want to cook?"
Si Muran snapped her fingers. Start a fire!"
Chen Yong immediately started the fire. Pei Chenshuo poured the bucket of salt water into the fire while Si Muran instructed,""You must keep stirring until all the salt water is evaporated.”
Pei Chenshuo nodded and stirred the salt water with a wooden stick. After about two hours, the salt water in the pot slowly turned into a layer of delicate white salt.
Si Muran looked at the results and was very satisfied. She took a bite and said,""Not bad, I succeeded."
Chen Yong's eyes widened. He looked at the thick layer of lava in his iron pot and was extremely shocked.
After cooling the salt, Si Muran got Chen Yong to put the salt in a bag. At this moment, the sky was slowly turning bright. "Brother Chen, we just want to help you raise money to treat Zhu 'er's illness. So…"
Chen Yong was an understanding person. He immediately replied,"Don't worry, I'll forget everything that happened tonight, and I won't say a word. I can't repay you for your kindness.”As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.
Pei Chenshuo quickly supported Chen Yong." Brother Chen, you don't have to be like this. We can't take it."”
Chen Yong's face was filled with gratitude. Pei Chenshuo patted his shoulder and said,""In a while, my wife and I will take this salt to the black market to sell. After that, you can hire a doctor for Pearl.”
"Thank you. I'm really grateful to you.”Chen Yong's eyes were a little moist as he spoke.
Chen Yong and his wife stayed at home to take care of their daughter while Pei Chenshuo and Si Muran took the smuggled salt to the market. On the way, Pei Chenshuo reminded her,""Remember not to let anyone else know about this salt-making method. Otherwise, you will be killed. Do you understand?”
Si Muran pursed her lips and replied,"Is salt more expensive than life? Of course I know that." Don't worry!"
Pei Chenshuo smiled and rubbed Si Muran's head. He said dotingly,""What exactly is in your little head?”
Si Muran slapped away Pei Chenshuo's hand and said,""I won't tell you."
Pei Chenshuo shook his head helplessly and walked side by side with Si Muran on the road. At this moment, they were dressed in coarse clothes, looking like an ordinary couple.
Following Chen Yong's instructions, they quickly found the black market. Si Muran saw that it was a little lively and said to Pei Chenshuo,""You are in charge of selling the salt. I will go around.”
Pei Chenshuo looked at Si Muran's eyes that were constantly looking at the new things around her. He could not bear to reject her and reminded her,""You mustn't go too far. Come back in an hour, understand?”
Si Muran listened to Pei Chenshuo's overbearing words. She looked unhappy on the surface, but her heart felt warm. "Got it." Si Muran replied and happily joined the crowd.
Pei Chenshuo looked at Si Muran, who had disappeared from his sight in a short while. He started to worry as soon as she left.
Si Muran walked around, but because she didn't have any money on her, she could only look around to feast her eyes. The street was very lively. All kinds of things that she had never seen before made her very curious. As she walked, she saw a group of people surrounding her.
Si Muran squeezed her way over and saw an old man in a Taoist robe standing on the stage. The signboard beside him said," Rejuvenation Pill."
The Taoist priest looked like an immortal. His white and long beard danced in the wind. He held a porcelain bottle in one hand and stroked his beard with the other."This is the Rejuvenation Pill that I spent five years refining with nearly a hundred precious medicinal herbs. This pill can cure all diseases and detoxify all poisons.”
"Really? How much is it?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"It's true. Some time ago, my old mother was seriously ill, so I bought this rejuvenation pill for her. I didn't expect that my old mother would be so energetic after taking it. Even the old ailments left behind by years of hard work have recovered.”Someone in the crowd praised him.
"Yeah, a few days ago, my wife was bitten by a poisonous snake and almost lost her life. After taking this rejuvenation pill, she actually recovered.”Someone even came out to testify.
Hearing someone say this, the crowd immediately rushed forward."I want it, I want it too."
Si Muran was shocked by this scene. Seeing that the two people were ordinary people and didn't seem to be lying, Si Muran was a little tempted.
She remembered that Pei Chenshuo's poison had not been completely cured and could not help but feel tempted.
"There's only one left. Is there anyone else you want to buy?”The Daoist priest raised the last of the rejuvenation pills and asked.
"I'll buy it." Si Muran replied without hesitation and walked over.
"May I ask how much this Return Spring Pill costs?”Si Muran asked the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest stroked his beard and replied with a smile,"Only five taels of silver."
"Five taels!" Si Muran frowned and remembered that she didn't have a single tael of silver on her. She fumbled around her body and took out the jade pendant that she had kept in Tianxuan as a souvenir.
"Taoist priest, I don't have any money. Can I use this jade pendant to exchange for it?”Si Muran said as she handed the jade pendant to the Taoist priest.
The white-bearded Taoist priest's eyes lit up when he received the jade pendant. He then concealed it and said,"This? Fine, this poor priest will take it as a good karma, you can take this rejuvenation pill!”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
