Chapter 428 High Price
"If they don't take the initiative to let others try these drugs, will they be able to sell them in the future?" Mu Yun lay on the bed, coughing heavily twice before he couldn't help but speak.
"Your own health isn't very good, yet you're still worrying about others. Even if they really starve to death, it's their own choice and has nothing to do with you."
Chen Zhuyi was still somewhat indifferent about this matter. After all, this group of people had never considered trying the idea he proposed. In the final analysis, they were still wary of them in their private hearts.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
This principle applies everywhere, not to mention that these people are also poor people who have been deceived.
If it were in the past, Chen Zhuyi would have struggled a little more and taken the initiative to give some advice, but now he is trapped here himself, so how can he have time to consider the gains and losses of others?
Mu Yun could sense the gunpowder in Chen Zhu's words and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"You don't have to worry too much about them. Since he decided to stay, he must have thought of ways to protect himself and will come to see you soon." Mu Yun said to comfort her, even with some envy.
No matter where Huo Jinzhi is now, there is always someone who cares about him.
"Of course I believe him. I just think the poison in your body is a bit too tricky. I can't think of a good way to deal with it right now, but I don't want you to die."
As Chen Zhu said this, he sighed again with a hint of regret.
These words made Mu Yun rub his nose involuntarily. He was a man who should have died on the ship long ago, but the only reason he was able to survive until now was thanks to Chen Zhu's superb medical skills.
When it comes to treatment, he really has nothing to say. All he needs to do is follow the doctor's orders.
"Just buy whatever herbs you want, and let me try whatever you want. This life no longer belongs to me."
"If you're worried about being in pain or suffering, then you don't have to worry about me."
"The punishments I've endured were far more horrific than you can imagine. I can still handle such a small matter."
When talking about what happened to him, there was even a hint of pride in Mu Yun's words.
As an excellent agent who can talk to Eric, he has climbed up step by step through countless training!
Chen Zhu suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and punch him, and said with a forced smile, "It's because your physical foundation is too poor that I have to think twice before taking action."
"You don't take your life seriously at all. Every time you go on a mission, you risk your life. You may seem good at first glance, but your foundation has already been damaged."
"We don't have the conditions here to help you recover, so if you don't die, it will be a great effort on my part."
Knowing the whole story, Mu Yun immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
Chen Zhuyi walked out quickly. She thought for a while, wrote down a prescription, and handed it directly to the old man.
"Please help me prepare these herbs. I will pay you later. Don't worry, I will never cheat you."
Chen Zhu still had a lot of money on hand, but they hadn't been exposed during this period, so it was not convenient for her to take the money.
"Why don't you just give it to us now? We're just a small business, and I have to run around for you..."
The old man laughed dryly and poked his pocket, with a look of embarrassment in his eyes.
If possible, he didn't want to ask such excessive conditions of his benefactor, but no one on their ship had much money.
"I do have some valuables. If you could sell them, it would probably be enough for you to buy all the herbs."
Lin Ting looked at Chen Zhuyi's speechless expression and quickly handed him the watch she had been wearing.
The things in her hands are all foreign famous brands, and they are also collectible items.
Professor Huo came along cleanly, and he brought nothing with him except some spare clothes.
The purpose of returning home is to serve the motherland, so there is no need to bring back the sugar-coated bullets from outside.
The watch on Lin Ting's hand was the reward she received for being an outstanding student in the year of her graduation. It has special commemorative significance to her.
"A fortune can be repaid even if it's lost. Besides, I've been thinking about what to do with these things outside, and now I have a solution."
Lin Ting smiled calmly and spoke to her husband, blocking his words of comfort.
But Chen Zhu could see through the couple's little tricks at a glance, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"When our ship arrives later, I will definitely redeem these things for you." This was the only guarantee Chen Zhu could make.
The old man held the watch in both hands and went out quickly. Soon he came back with the medicinal herbs.
However, the medicinal properties of some herbs seemed to have evaporated a lot.
"We'd better be honest. I'm willing to trust you and have given you many ways to survive. You... don't need to withhold such a small amount of money, right?"
After just a few casual glances, Chen Zhuyi directly questioned the birth, and even felt a little dissatisfied with the old man. This was a moment of life and death, how could he be so casual!
The old man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He could only laugh dryly and explain, "It's not that we don't want to buy better, it's that we can only buy this kind."
He quickly took out all the money he had on him and placed it in front of Chen Zhuyi with both hands, his eyes filled with deep embarrassment.
"We paid a high price for this little bit of medicinal herbs. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask for yourself. The good things should be left to others."
There didn't seem to be any strict boundaries of status here. Chen Zhuyi just frowned, but still expressed his intention to go and see for himself: "We've already spent money, and we still can't buy anything?"
As she spoke, she walked out. The old man understood what she meant and trotted after her, taking the initiative to lead the way. He hunched his body and kept a low profile, as if he was leading his own daughter out.
As expected, he gained experience from Sakura, and he is indeed gifted in serving others.
Chen Zhu didn't react until he got to the place. He came over but didn't forget to complain silently, looking coldly at the shopkeeper in front of him with a familiar skin color.
He babbled a bunch of incomprehensible words, while Chen Zhuyi spoke directly in English: "Why don't you sell us the good herbs?"
