Chapter 7: The Divine Stick

Chapter VII

Lu Fan looked at the person walking in front of him, and for some reason, his heart was as disgusting as eating a fly.

"Shopkeeper Zhou. The village chief saluted the man with his fists, a hint of imperceptible disgust flashing in his eyes.

"Hahaha! Village Chief Chen doesn't have to be polite! I think I'm here to exchange for items this time, it seems that the harvest this time is really not small!" Shopkeeper Zhou squinted at the bulging package behind the village chief, and then looked at Lu Fan again, his eyes lit up!

"Huh, this little baby is..."

"This is my grandson, named Lu Fan. Fan'er, why don't you hurry up and meet Shopkeeper Zhou!" The village chief straightened up and introduced to Shopkeeper Zhou in a calm tone.

"Fan'er meets Shopkeeper Zhou!" Lu Fan was very obedient, and after taking a step forward, he clenched his fists with both hands like the village chief, bent down slightly, and saluted respectfully to Shopkeeper Zhou.

"Hahaha! Okay!" shopkeeper Zhou laughed loudly, his facial features huddled together in an incredible shape, making people look very uncomfortable.

"Lao Chen, it's not the first time that you and I have dealt with each other, all the goods in and out of this Qingzhou City and the transaction are managed by my Zhou family, it's getting late today, you have a good rest, and come directly to Barter tomorrow, I'll wait for you there, and discuss our deal!"

Shopkeeper Zhou laughed again, with a little disdain in his eyes, and left surrounded by five big men behind him.

"Grandpa Chen, who is this person, why is he so rampant?" Lu Fan said hatefully, he originally saw that the shopkeeper Zhou was not pleasing to the eye, and when he left, he caught a glimpse of the disdain in the eyes of the shopkeeper Zhou, so he couldn't help asking.

"Hmph! This person's surname is Zhou, his name is Licai, the daughter of the patriarch of his family married the city lord of Qingzhou as a concubine, and the city lord also loves her in every way, because of this relationship, so the Zhou family has also become a very powerful family here, in charge of the transaction and entry and exit of all items in the city, the line of big characters at the gate of the city is the rules set by the Zhou family, although the city lord knows, but also turns a blind eye, regardless of asking. ”

The village chief looked at Zhou Licai's departing figure, his fists clenched, and the disgust in his eyes turned into uncontrollable anger!

Lu Fan was a little puzzled, looked at the direction in which Zhou Licai left, and then looked at the angry village chief, his face was full of doubt, he didn't know why the village chief had such a big grudge against this person.

"Every time I come here to exchange for something, I have to go through his hands! Every time, he will deduct a lot! And now it is getting more and more excessive! Completely ignoring the fur of these fierce beasts, the hunters in the village have bought it with their own blood!"

The village chief gritted his teeth and said, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes were red, his body trembled because of extreme anger, his hands were overforced, even his nails were deeply sunk in the flesh, and the bright red blood flowed down his fingers and dripping on the ground, imprinting pieces of red.

Lu Fan finally understood why the village chief was so angry, what the village chief cared about was not how many items he had in exchange, but that he felt worthless for the hunters who risked their lives in the village and hunted fierce beasts with blood and sweat!

Lu Fan lowered his head slightly, looked at the shocking blood stains on the ground, gritted his teeth, and became even more disgusted with Zhou Licai in his heart!

Then the village chief sighed again, although angry, but helpless about this matter, turned and walked towards the end of the road...

Lu Fan looked at the back of the village chief Xiao Se, and pulled out a long shadow in the evening sun, and his body, which had always been firm and straight, looked a little rickety at the moment...

Lu Fan quietly followed behind the village chief, he knew that the village chief was deeply blaming himself for his powerlessness...

found a hotel casually, and after paying the cost of the hotel, the two went to bed early to rest because they had something on their minds.

In the early morning of the second day, the warm sunshine sprinkled the entire Ilha Verde City, bringing vitality to this majestic city.

Lu Fan was in a daze and heard the bustling sound on the street outside, and after getting up, he found that the village chief was not in the house, and he was a little anxious in his heart.

After some searching, he found a note left by the village chief on the wooden table in the house:

"Fan'er, I'll go out, you wait here for me to come back, remember, don't mess around. ”

Lu Fan pursed his lips and looked at the note in his hand, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Grandpa Chen, how did you know that I was going to mess around...", he said that the note was messily clumped together, and he threw it aside, and then looked at the various fruits on the wooden table, colorful, and his index finger moved, and he grabbed one and took a big bite.

"Mmmmmmmm

"What... That's it..."Lu Fan snorted lightly, there was nothing in the simple room that he particularly cared about.

After eating and drinking, Lu Fan sat on the edge of the bed, his hands on his cheeks, his bright eyes were rolling, and the lively sounds on the street kept coming from his ears, Lu Fan stood up again and walked back and forth in the house.

"Grandpa Chen just said he wouldn't let me mess around, and he didn't say he wouldn't let me go out... As long as I'm obedient, I'll be fine... Well... That's how it should be..."

Lu Fan continued to comfort and provoke himself like this.

Suddenly, Lu Fan stopped, stomped his foot fiercely, nodded, and made a difficult decision.

"Okay! That's it! I'll just go out and take a look!" Thinking of this, Lu Fan raised his feet and walked towards the door.

Walking out of the door, a wave of sound rushed straight into Lu Fan's mind, although this is the place where passers-by settle down and rest, and there is still a long distance from the market, you can also hear the voices of people there, and feel extremely lively, even more noisy than when Lu Fan first entered the city.

"That's great! This is Qingzhou City!" Lu Fan took a deep breath, his eyes were full of excitement, and he walked quickly in the direction of the market.

One by one, there were many people coming in and out of each shop, Lu Fan was jumping all the way around, fascinated by the prosperity of Qingzhou City, and he didn't know where to look.

When he came to the bazaar, Lu Fan opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

When I entered the city yesterday evening, the wide road was now almost half shrunk, and it was densely packed with stalls, and there were people stopping in front of each stall, constantly bargaining with the owner of the stall, all of them were blushing and their necks were thick, and their voices were so small that they couldn't hear what the people on the other side were saying.

Suddenly, there was a sound of commotion in front of a stall not far away, Lu Fan followed the sound, it seemed that the two people had not negotiated a business, and they were angry and scuffled together.

The people around were not surprised, and after taking a look, they continued to bargain with the people in front of them, and some of them had a playful look in their eyes, as if they had seen a lot of this situation.

After a while, a group of soldiers wearing golden shining armor surrounded them, and after forcibly separating the two who were scuffling, they were taken away with a big bundle of flowers, with indifference on their faces, completely ignoring the two people's incessant begging for mercy.

Lu Fan shrunk his neck, and secretly said in his heart that he must be careful, in case he was taken to the middle of nowhere by these golden iron-clad soldiers to ravage, it would definitely be very painful.

After a small episode, Lu Fan walked happily in the bazaar, looking here, where to see, very happy, when he saw something interesting, he occasionally stepped forward to ask, when the stall owner saw that it was just a child, he glanced sideways, and turned his head and ignored it.

"Hmph! But the master's pocket is indeed very clean!hahaha!"

Lu Fan giggled, at this time, the village chief was not around, no one controlled himself, the sky was free for birds to fly, the sea was wide and the fish jumped, and the mood was extremely comfortable.

Suddenly, a voice came into Lu Fan's ears violently, in this noisy bazaar, it was very abrupt!

Lu Fan sighed in his heart, frightened, and hurriedly turned his head to look around.

"Hey, little friend, look here! yes, yes, yes, this is it!"

Lu Fan followed the voice and looked, and in front of Lu Fan on the left, an old man was waving to him.

This old man looks like he is in his old age, with a fairy style, a white robe that does not stain a little dust, a wisp of dust in his hand, and a table of eight immortals in front of him, which is full of potholes, and there is a big banner standing next to it, and a few big characters on it are very conspicuous!

"The astrological Beidou is the heaven and the earth, and the heavens should be homeopathic!"

Driven by curiosity, Lu Fan slowly approached, he had never seen such a battle, and he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The old man shook off the dust, looked at Lu Fan's arrival, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he thought that there was another business coming to the door, so he quickly straightened his posture, looked like a master, and said in a deep voice:

"Little friend, the old man sees that you are full of heaven and ruddy, and you will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future, why not let the old man make a hexagram for you, in order to solve the doubts in your heart and guide you to the maze?"

The surrounding vendors all looked at this place one by one, with amusement in their eyes, thinking that another person had been trapped by this charlatan.

Although Lu Fan is young, he is not a fool, and after thinking about it, he realized that the old man in front of him was a liar, how could mortals calculate the heavens and the earth and move the world.

"Okay, good, master, help me calculate! Yesterday there was a thunderclap out of thin air, and my memory was a little bad! Help me calculate my name, I have amnesia, and I can't remember my name!" So with a pretended excitement on his face, he hurriedly spoke.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and the dust in his hand forgot to sway, and was fixed in mid-air, with some panic in his eyes.

As soon as the surrounding vendors heard Lu Fan's words, they instantly felt that this child was really a living treasure, and felt that there was a good show to watch this time, this master had been here for a long time, and he had never been teased like this, and one by one they put their eyes here, looking at the old man teasingly, to see how he would end.

"Uh... This one... The old man only counts the fortune of heaven and earth, and where the road is, this... Let's go to someone else about this name...", the old man said embarrassedly.

"Ahh Ahh Tomorrow I will go out of the city and return to the village, master will calculate the weather for me tomorrow and see if it will rain or something!" Lu Fan leaned forward, his eyes flashed with little stars, and he said with anticipation.

"Ahh This... You see... Little friends... Are you looking for faults! If you don't count, get out of here! Don't delay the old man's business!"

"I just want to see what the weather will be tomorrow... What are you in a hurry..."Lu Fan looked disappointed, shook his head, very incomprehensible, and muttered quietly.

"Get out, get out!" The old man was teased in front of everyone, his face was blue and purple, he was ashamed, he shook the dust fiercely, glared at Lu Fan and said.
