Chapter 6 Ilha Verde City
Chapter VI
"In Qingzhou City, there are immortals!"
After Lu Fan heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at the village chief, his face full of disbelief!
"Fan'er, immortals are all high-ranking existences, remember, you must not mess around in the city!" the village chief looked at Lu Fan and said solemnly.
"I've only heard about it, but I've never seen it in person, and the huge Qingzhou City is definitely not something that can be bluffed by a lie, so there is a great possibility that the immortals are real!"
Lu Fan looked at the village chief in a daze, the shock in his eyes had not yet dissipated, and there were shocking waves in his heart!
"Immortals! Immortals really exist! That's a god-like person!" Lu Fan's eyes burst out with unprecedented brightness, clenching his hands tightly, and his breathing became rapid.
"Fan'er..." The village chief looked at Lu Fan's appearance at the moment, knowing that all this was still too early for a child, and he just hoped that he would not be as unscrupulous as in the village, so as not to invite disasters for no reason.
The village chief stood up, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to take Lu Fan to the city tomorrow.
"Everything is predestined... But if anyone dares to hurt Lu Fan, the old man will definitely be with him in a sea of blood!"
The village chief's eyes were sharp, and an astonishing momentum suddenly erupted on his body, because he was in the position of the village chief all the year round, and he led the hunters to hunt beasts in Daqing Mountain, and the smell of blood on his body was no less than that of the warriors on the battlefield!
Lu Fan came back to his senses from the shock of learning about the existence of immortals, and looked at the straight body of the village chief in front of him, his whole body exuded a strong murderous aura, which made Lu Fan feel a little frightened in his heart.
"Grandpa Chen..."Lu Fan said in a low voice, he knew that the village chief would never show such a side to himself and the villagers, and after thinking about it, he knew why the village chief was so abnormal.
Lu Fan's nose was slightly sour, and he felt the care and love from the village chief, so he secretly made a decision in his heart, he must listen to the village chief's words in the city.
"Okay, it's not early, Fan'er, you can also go and rest early, and you will enter the city with me early tomorrow morning!" said the village chief, and then walked towards the wooden bed.
After Lu Fan nodded in response, he gently blew out the candle flame, and with full expectation, he lay on the bed and fell asleep...
The night was silent, and the lights in the village were extinguished one by one, until the last one was gone, and the whole village became more peaceful, and with the villagers, they gradually fell asleep...
Early the next morning.
When Lu Fan was still asleep and dreaming of spring and autumn, the door was suddenly pushed open by someone!
Lu Fan, who was lying on the bed, was full of excitement, and woke up all of a sudden, his eyes were red, obviously startled, and he almost fell off the bed.
"Who, dare to disturb your grandfather Fan's sleep!" Lu Fan looked at the door viciously, he was extremely unhappy at the moment when he was awakened, and said loudly and angrily.
"Where... Brother Fan! Hurry! Hurry up!" At the door, Zhang Ergou put his hands on his knees, sweating profusely dripping down his face, and said breathlessly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, dare to disturb my sleep! Believe it or not..."Lu Fan suddenly stopped when he said this, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"Oh! I have to go to Qingzhou City with Grandpa Chen today!Ergou, why didn't you call me earlier!" Zhang Ergou finally relieved his breath, and looked at Lu Fan, who was hurriedly getting dressed, and felt helpless in his heart.
Lu Fan walked out while wearing his clothes, and almost fell when he was close to Zhang Ergou, and he didn't know what he was muttering in his mouth, and after he went out, he looked around looking for the figure of the village chief.
"Brother Fan, the village chief is at the entrance of the village, everything is ready, and he is about to leave!" Zhang Ergou's voice sounded behind Lu Fan.
After Lu Fan heard this, he turned around and ran quickly towards the village, waving his hand to Zhang Ergou without looking back.
"Brother Fan, when you come back, you must tell me what it is like in Qingzhou City!"
Zhang Ergou's heart was slightly sour, in fact, he also wanted to go to the city for a walk, but his father and mother disagreed, and the village chief didn't say that he wanted to take him there, so he thought that it was okay to listen to Lu Fan after he came back, so he put his hand to his mouth and shouted loudly to Lu Fan in the shape of a trumpet.
After a while, Lu Fan came to the entrance of the village, saw the village chief surrounded by the surrounding villagers, and waved his little hand vigorously.
"Grandpa Chen, I'm here!" he said, and ran to the village chief excitedly.
The village chief was still the same as usual, dressed in a white robe, and carrying a large package behind him, which was bulging inside, and he didn't know what it contained.
"Stinky boy, why is it so slow!I thought you weren't coming!" the village chief looked down at Lu Fan and said gently.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Lu Fan smiled stupidly, and after looking at the package on the village chief's back, his eyes were puzzled.
"Grandpa Chen, what is this on your back? Is it our rations all the way?" Thinking that it might be food, a glimmer of light flashed in Lu Fan's eyes, and he stepped forward quickly, shrugging his little nose and sniffing vigorously.
A pungent smell of blood rushed straight into Lu Fan's mind, making him a little nauseous, and he staggered back a few steps, looking at the package with a look of disgust.
"Oh! What is this! Why does it smell so bad!" Lu Fan coughed a few times, and kept waving the unpleasant smell with his hand.
"Hahaha! You little rabbit knows how to eat!" The village chief laughed heartily when he saw Lu Fan's innocent appearance.
"This is the fierce beast skins that the village has hunted in the past month, this time we went to Qingzhou City, and we sold all these beast skins in exchange for some things that the village needs. After speaking, the village chief waved his hand to the villagers who were saying goodbye at the entrance of the village.
Lu Fan blinked, followed behind the village chief, and walked in the direction of Qingzhou City.
It was about a day's journey from the village to Ilha Verde City, because the neighborhood was very remote and there were often wild beasts, so there were no robbers or thieves on the way.
"Grandpa Chen, why don't we grow some food ourselves? Isn't it dangerous to go hunting in Daqing Mountain all day long?" Lu Fan followed behind the village chief, looked at the bulging package, and asked.
"Yes! Fan'er is right, but there is no crop that can be grown within a hundred miles of Daqingshan, and there were people in the village who wanted to grow food, and several generations of hard work day and night research, but still could not succeed. You have never entered the Great Green Mountain, and although there are many kinds of trees in the mountain, there is not a single tree that can bear edible fruit...", the village chief tightened the package on his shoulders and continued.
"The crops in Qingzhou City are all transported from distant places, and many things can be exchanged with them, and what we rely on is the countless fierce beasts in Daqing Mountain, their furs are very valuable, because the hunting is very risky, so the price is much higher than other items, and now the meat of the fierce beasts can be used as food in the village, so it is necessary to exchange for some essential things in life. ”
Lu Fan listened carefully and kept these words in his heart.
The ancestors and grandsons talked and laughed along the way, and after resting for a while on the way, they continued to hurry, and Lu Fan was not tired of arguing along the way, and followed the village chief closely, very well-behaved.
"This is a month's harvest in the village..."Lu Fan thought in his heart, so he didn't dare to be naughty anymore.
In the evening, the sun gradually sets on the mountain, the sky and the earth are dark, the clouds in the sky are also dyed with a golden color by the setting sun, and occasionally a few big birds fly by, and the bright call resounded in the sky.
The village chief stopped and pointed ahead.
Lu Fan looked in the direction of the village chief's finger, and was suddenly speechless, his eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity!
In the twilight, the magnificent Qingzhou City is like a sleeping giant beast, lying prone on the earth, if anyone dares to wake it up, it will be greeted by the monstrous fury of this giant beast!
The walls of Qingzhou City are made of huge granite walls, which are extremely strong, the city walls are about ten zhang high, and the east and west vertical and horizontal walls are a hundred zhang long!
Lu Fan has been living in the village since he was a child, and he has never seen such a majestic Qingzhou City, although he has fantasized about its appearance over and over again in his heart, but since he saw it with his own eyes today, he knew that he imagined how pale he imagined.
"Let's go. The village chief looked at the stunned Lu Fan and said with a smile.
Lu Fan swallowed his saliva vigorously and coughed lightly, he couldn't close his mouth just now because of shock, and at this time his mouth was dry, and even his throat was a little itchy.
The closer he got to Qingzhou City, the more he felt small, Lu Fan stood at the entrance of the city gate, looked up at the city wall, and suddenly found that he was not even a rock high...
The gates were wide open, and three soldiers in armor were registering and collecting fees on the left and right, and there was occasional beatings and curses.
"Everyone who enters the city is registered, and when he leaves the city, he must pay 10 percent of the goods he carries. ”
A line of blood-red characters was printed on the right side of the city gate, and three bloody corpses were hanging under the words, and the smell of bloody rancid smell wafted through the air, making everyone who was ready to enter the city cover their noses and be cautious.
The corpses had long since decomposed, most of Sensen's bones were exposed, buzzing flies and insects were flying around, and there were many maggots burrowing around the corpses.
Lu Fan also covered his mouth and nose, watching this scene, his stomach was tumbling violently, and he almost retched.
"These are people who don't follow the rules of the city, even if this rule is too excessive and unacceptable, but the people who enter and leave the city still choose to obey it, because once they don't follow the rules, these hanging corpses will be their own fate..."The village chief looked at the corpses on the city wall, sighed helplessly, and then patted Lu Fan's back gently, which made him feel a lot less retching.
"Let's go. As he spoke, the village chief raised his feet and walked to the right.
Lu Fan followed behind the village chief, and when he passed by these corpses after completing the registration, he secretly glanced at them, and suddenly he couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, and shivered.
Walking into the city, he was greeted by a wide road, and Lu Fan looked at it carefully, and felt that this road was even bigger than his own village! Even though it was approaching dusk, both sides of the road were still crowded with vendors, crowded with people, bustling, and all kinds of cries of selling rose and fell with each other, endlessly, and it was very lively.
"Yo! Isn't this Village Chief Chen!"
A shrill voice came from the front, Lu Fan raised his eyes to see, this person was thin and short, a red robe almost wrapped his whole person inside, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, squinting small eyes and raising eyebrows, followed by five burly men, walking towards the village chief and Lu Fan.
