Chapter 205: The Price of Entering the Mountain
"Village Chief, can you take us to Lu Wanfu now?" Everyone followed the village chief into the house, and as soon as they sat down and didn't say a word, Zhou Fan couldn't wait.
"Listen to me first." The village chief looked at Zhou Fan and said with a smile: "You are a guest from afar, and Lu Wanfu has passed away..."
"What? Passed away. When Zhou Fan heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that what we're going to do..."
"Don't worry" The village chief saw that Zhou Fan's face was a little ugly and said: "Lu Wanfu is already dead, but his son, Lu Tianyuan, is still there, but he is not from our village, so there are very few people in the village who know him."
And from here to his house has to cross two mountains, his family is a medicine collector for generations, so he also settled his home in the mountains The reason why I know him is because he will come to our village every once in a while to buy daily necessities.
I heard that all the things he picked were sold to people in Yunnan or Guizhou, which is the place where the three provinces meet, and his family is just in the mountains where the three provinces meet, so he often travels to Yunnan and Guizhou to sell medicine.
The medicinal materials collected are never sold on our side, but every once in a while, he will come to our village to buy daily necessities, you asked me to take you to find him, to be honest, I don't know where he lives, and there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and there are many evil ghosts, we ordinary people dare not enter the mountains, you can only try your luck if you want to find Lu Tianyuan. ”
"That's right." Zhou Fan lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then why did this Lu Tianyuan come to the village?" ”
"It's hard to say." The village chief paused and said: "Sometimes he comes once a month, sometimes once a month, I remember the last time he came was half a month ago, if you are lucky, it is estimated that you will be able to meet him after a while." ”
"Oh, then we won't bother you." After saying that, Zhou Fan got up and said: "Trouble the village chief, you can call me when the time comes, we will live in the county seat, and I will trouble you to notify me when the time comes." As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and asked everyone to go first, but he secretly stuffed two hundred-yuan bills for the village chief.
"Haha, it's easy to say." The village chief vaguely accepted two hundred-yuan bills, smiled from ear to ear, and sent Zhou Fan and a few people to the entrance of the village.
"Okay, let's go back, why don't we take advantage of this time to have a good rest, rest, and replenish our equipment, otherwise it will be troublesome to go into the mountain next time." Zhou Fan slowly reversed the car back to the road, and several people drove back to Xilin County.
The way back is very easy to walk, and soon Zhou Fan and a few people will return to the county seat, and this time it is actually in the evening, but Zhou Fan and a few people came out of the hotel when it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and then went to the small village after eating It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was normal to come and go to the evening.
Zhou Fan parked the car in front of a Hunan restaurant and said, "Why don't you eat something spicy tonight, it stimulates the wound." ”
"Damn, you've finally found the right restaurant for my taste." Feng Long's eyes lit up and he stepped out of the car first.
"Hehe" Zhou Fan smiled helplessly and turned to Tianyou and said, "You call Twilight Xue and tell them that we are here, let them come over by themselves, these two women should have walked around for a day." ”
"What is there to visit in a small county, I really don't understand." Zimeng looked disdainful as he held a cigarette.
"You don't understand that, do you?" Tianyou put his arm around Zimeng's shoulders and said: "Women are born marathon team members, don't say a small county town, it is a small shop, where can they go shopping for a day, this is the fucking nature of women!" ”
Tianyou began to get frustrated as he spoke, obviously he had accompanied Twilight Xue to wander around like this before, but now he remembered that he suddenly felt a little weak in his heart, "Okay, hurry up and come in and see the menu and order, after eating, let's go to the night market here." ”
Zhou Fan saw that the two of them were still grinding outside the door, and couldn't help shouting at the two of them, and sure enough, the two of them no longer hooked their shoulders when they heard it, and went directly into the restaurant, and soon everyone ordered their favorite dishes, and after a while, the meals were also presented to the table one after another, and Qing'er and Duxue also came to the restaurant at this time, and this meal was eaten by everyone.
Time flies, Zhou Fan and his people have been staying in Xilin County for two weeks, and one night after Zhou Fan and his people finished dinner, they went to the border military zone to replenish the equipment and materials they needed.
And before he went, Zhou Fan had already greeted Uncle Huang, although the people in the military region were very unaccustomed to Zhou Fan and a few people, but after all, because it was an order given by the top, it was not easy to make things difficult for a few people.
Zhou Fan and the others still got the equipment and materials very smoothly, and then a few people played the whole Xilin County, and even some tourist resorts in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places went for a small tour, until two weeks later, Zhou Fan felt that it was time to go back to Xilin County and wait for the call, and everyone rushed back to Xilin County from a tribe in Guizhou.
But coincidentally, as soon as a few people were on the way back to Xilin County, they received a call from the village chief, saying that Lu Tianyuan had come to their village to purchase, and asked Zhou Fan and a few people to hurry over.
"Aren't you a lion opening your mouth?" Zimeng yelled at the man in front of him, who was less than one meter six but unusually stout: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe that without you, we can't enter the mountain, we haven't broken into any dangerous places, let's take your medicine." ”
At this time, not only Zimeng was angry, but even Feng Long, who had always had a good temper, was also angry, and couldn't help but say: "Even if the route is difficult to follow, there is no need to be so much if there is danger!" ”
What the hell is this man trying to do? Zhou Fan looked at the dark-skinned and somewhat bald man in front of him, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, he didn't know what this Lu Tianyuan wanted to do.
If you want to do this transaction, you won't block the price in one go, even if the mountain is dangerous, but it won't cost 100,000 yuan in one bite, and Zhou Fan and the others still just let him be a guide.
According to his usual route of herbs to find Mengyoucao, since he has been able to collect herbs in the mountains for so many years, he must have his own route, and this route will not be too risky, otherwise it is impossible for him to be safe and sound for decades of herbs.
When Zhou Fan looked at Lu Tianyuan with a puzzled gaze, Lu Tianyuan was also secretly watching Zhou Fan, and as soon as the two met their eyes, they immediately avoided it, as if they had a tacit understanding.
Zhou Fan glanced at the three of Tianyou, the three of them obviously didn't find Lu Tianyuan's ulterior motives, they all looked aggrieved and trapped, Zhou Fan saw this and pondered for a while and said: "I can give you the 100,000 you want, but you have to take us to find what we want." ”
"Zhou Fan, what do you mean, we wouldn't be able to enter the mountain without him... ...."
Zhou Fan waved his hand with his back to Zimeng, and said without waiting for Zimeng to finish speaking: "If you can find that thing, you can still afford 100,000 yuan, this is a deposit of 30,000 yuan, pay in advance, you can collect it, I hope we can cooperate happily." With that, Zhou Fan took out a stack of cash from his backpack and handed it to Lu Tianyuan, and stretched out his hand with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Seeing this, Lu Tianyuan smiled wisely at the same time, knowing that Zhou Fan was in charge among the several people, and the two of them shook hands amicably.
Feng Long originally thought that Zhou Fan was suffering from brain cramps, but when he saw the two of them holding hands strangely, they didn't speak, and they didn't greet each other, so he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and immediately saw that the two of them were unusual, and knew that it shouldn't be so simple.
I wanted to ask Zhou Fan at the moment, but as soon as the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he knew that Zhou Fan chose not to say it, there may be a reason, at this time it is not good for him to break this situation, otherwise the cooperation will not be successful, and it is possible that people on both sides will tear their faces immediately.
