Chapter VIII

Lu Fan accepted it when he saw it, and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly the old man's voice came from behind again.

"Wait a minute!"

Lu Fan was shocked in his heart, thinking that it would not be that this old man couldn't hold his face in front of everyone, and he wanted to take revenge on himself! The village chief was not by his side at this time, and he was helpless here, thinking of this, Lu Fan's back was cold, and he raised his feet and was about to run away!

"Little friend, wait a minute! What are you running! Wait a minute! Xiaoyou, I know your grandfather!" The old man looked at Lu Fan's fast figure, and shouted loudly regardless of his image in a hurry.

"Do you know my grandfather?" Lu Fan, who was running in front, suddenly stopped, looked back at the old man, and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I know your grandfather, his name is Chen Mingsheng, and he is the head of your village!" the old man walked quickly in front of Lu Fan and said breathlessly.

"Your grandfather used to go into the city to exchange for items, and he would say a few words to me every time, and he also mentioned you, and I saw you two passing by here yesterday evening, so I can only recognize you today!"

Lu Fan thought about it for a while in his heart, and felt that most of what the old man said was true, because he could call out the name of the village chief, and even except for a limited number of people in the village, the rest of the villagers didn't know what the village chief's name was, because the village chief was very good to the villagers, and everyone was used to calling the village chief on weekdays, and gradually, no one cared about the village chief's name.

"Why, you still have to go and sue my grandfather!" Lu Fan frowned slightly, looked at the old man in front of him and said.

In fact, Lu Fan was also very worried in his heart, if the old man really told his grandfather that he ran out to play without his approval, it would definitely be another dizzying preaching.

"Xiaoyou is too worried, since Chen Mingsheng is your grandfather, then let's do it, seeing each other is fate, this thing will be given to you!" As he spoke, he took out something similar to a token from his cuff and handed it to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan was puzzled by the token in the old man's hand, carefully looked at it, this token was white all over, cold to the hand, I can't say what material it was, it felt like a piece of jade to the touch, and the word "Qing" was on the front, when Lu Fan looked at this word, it seemed that his body and mind were all absorbed by this piece of jade, and he was about to fall into it! There are four mountains printed on the back, two on the left and right, and the straight peaks go straight into the sky, and there is a ravine like a moat in the middle, separating these four mountains from each other!

"It's... What is this?" Lu Fan kept playing with the token in his hand, and because he felt his extraordinary, he asked.

"This thing is called the Wishing Stone! It was accidentally obtained by the old man when he traveled in his early years, if you have any wishes, shout at it three times, and the wish will come true!" The old man shook his dust when he heard that Lu Fan was quite interested in this thing, and after coughing dryly, he said triumphantly.

When Lu Fan heard this, he was speechless in surprise, and looked at the slightly glowing jade in his hand in a daze, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

When the old man saw Lu Fan's shocked face, the smug look on his face became even stronger.

"Master, how do you know that this is called the Wishing Stone? Could it be that you have tried it? Then that, what wish did you make? Did it come true in the end!" Lu Fan was very shocked at the moment, he was just frightened by the old man's words that his wish would come true, and after a while, he came back to his senses from this shock, looked at the proud old man in front of him, and asked.

"Hey! I should have seen the yellow calendar when I went out today! It's really unlucky, how could I encounter such a thing!" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he was speechless for a while, turned around and lowered his head, and slowly walked back to his stall, packed up all his things, carried the big flag, and left silently.

"Hey, why is this person so fragile, so unable to withstand the blow..."Lu Fan looked at the departing old man, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

Then he kicked the jade into his arms and patted it carefully, although he didn't know whether what the old man said was true or not, but Lu Fan thought that with the texture of this piece of jade, he would definitely be able to sell it for a good price, and he planned to wait for the village chief to come back and see it, and then make a decision.

After this episode, Lu Fan's playfulness gradually dissipated, and after wandering around for a while, Lu Fan was afraid that he would be discovered by the village chief if he came out for too long, so he slowly walked towards the hotel where he stayed.

After returning to the hotel, it was almost noon, Lu Fan sat on the bed, his right hand on his chin, and waited boredly for the village chief to come back.

Just as Lu Fan nodded in confusion like a chicken pecking rice, there was a sound of the door being pushed open at the door.

Lu Fan woke up suddenly, looked up, and it was the village chief who walked into the house.

"Grandpa Chen, where have you been, why did you come back!" Lu Fan's eyes lit up, and he trotted over to the village chief.

"Well, you kid didn't make trouble for me, did you!" the village chief looked at Lu Fan dotingly and said with a smile.

"No! No! You see that I haven't even gone out, just waiting for Grandpa Chen to come back! I'm about to fall asleep!" Lu Fan was a little weak-hearted, his eyes dodged, and he quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.

The village chief's mind didn't seem to be on Lu Fan, and after seeing him in the house, he didn't find Lu Fan's abnormality.

"I went to the barter shop early in the morning to prepare to exchange for items, that Zhou Licai was really waiting, he knew the situation in the village, if it was not exchanged for him, it would be difficult for the village to maintain, he just grabbed this, and talked about the price of the transaction to reduce the price of the transaction by thirty percent!" Then he walked forward and threw the package that was obviously much smaller on the table behind him, his eyes were full of anger.

"Grandpa Chen, why don't we go to the market to sell it?" After Lu Fan heard this, he was also very angry in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, and then thought of the scene in the morning market, and looked at the village chief's eyes full of doubts.

"Although we can sell our things after paying some fees to Qingzhou City, the fur of the beast is higher for others, and it is not necessary, and it may not be able to exchange for what we need, the cost of the stall is paid once a day, so on the whole, it is not cost-effective, Barter is the largest chamber of commerce in Qingzhou City, and everything can be traded directly wherever it is, but the price is very low compared to the market. ”

The village chief glanced at the package on the table, very helpless, shook his head, and said to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan suddenly realized when he heard this, and then he understood why the village chief didn't take the hunted beast skins to the market and sell them.

"Fan'er, clean up, we will set off back to the village in a while, there are many rights and wrongs in Qingzhou City, stay one more day, there may be a little more danger..."The village chief took his eyes off the package, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Lu Fan nodded obediently, and swallowed the words that he wanted to play for a few more days, looking at the village chief in front of him at this moment, Lu Fan felt guilty in his heart, and he didn't help a little, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

After the two of them packed their bags and everything was in order, they hurried back.

When passing by the bazaar, Lu Fan suddenly remembered the master in the morning, and when he looked at the direction of the memory in his mind, the master was long gone, and Lu Fan didn't take it to heart, so he didn't continue to look for it.

When he went out of the city gate, he paid ten percent of the tax, Lu Fan saw that the village chief's hands were a little trembling, the village chief who was majestic and gentle on weekdays, but at the moment he looked a little old, just a dying old man who bowed his head for his relatives and children...

Lu Fan looked at this scene, his heart ached, the oath he made in the village yesterday was even stronger at this moment!

Walking out of the city gate, Lu Fan glanced back at Qingzhou City, he had fantasized about the beautiful Qingzhou City, at this time in his heart was already like a fierce beast, disgusting and a little afraid, Lu Fan lowered his head, very lost in his heart, maybe this is also a common problem for everyone, fantasy is always beautiful, but the reality is full of holes and unbearable...

On the way back, the grandfather and grandson were not as relaxed as when they came, and they were very uncomfortable, and they were very disappointed with this trip to Qingzhou City.

It was getting late, and the night was falling, and all around became silent, except for the white moonlight reflecting the figures of the two of them, accompanied by the incessant chirping of insects in the forest.

The two hurried away, when they saw the quiet and peaceful village, they put their minds at ease and returned home, at this time it was almost midnight, the fatigue of the road and the displeasure in the city surged together, and they didn't care about washing, so they lay directly on the bed, Lu Fan's mind kept thinking about everything that happened in the village, touched the jade on his chest, and after a while, his eyelids were heavy, and there was a well-proportioned breathing sound...

In the early morning of the second day, Lu Fan, who was asleep, heard a sound in his ears, and opened his eyes half-squinting, and saw that the village chief was sorting out the items exchanged in the city yesterday.

Seeing that Lu Fan was awake, the village chief stopped what he was doing, walked to Lu Fan's bed, tucked the quilt for Lu Fan, touched his forehead, and said gently:

"Fan'er, you can sleep for a while, I'll go sort out these things and distribute them. Then he picked up the package on the table, gently closed the door, and walked out.

Lu Fan was completely sleepy at this time, and when he thought of the village chief's gloom in the city yesterday, he felt even more apologetic.

"Hey!" Lu Fan sighed, sat up, and suddenly something fell out of his chest, clanging and falling to the ground, emitting a faint light.

"I forgot about it..."

Lu Fan bent down and picked up this fast jade, playing left and right, looking at it for a while and not knowing what this thing was for, at this time he suddenly remembered the words of the so-called master in the city:

"Just shout at it three times and your wish will come true!"

Lu Fan's face showed strangeness, and he felt very ridiculous when he thought of himself talking stupidly to a stone, but driven by curiosity, his mind kept spinning what the master said, and a strong curiosity rose in his heart.

"Well, I have to try! But it's just a try, how can this little stone fulfill people's wishes! But what if it's true!"

Lu Fan was entangled in his heart, and he didn't know how to choose next, so after snorting fiercely, he stood up, made a decision in his heart, grabbed the jade and walked out of the door.

"Where... Brother Fan!

Before he reached the door, a loud shouting sound made Lu Fan stop and raise his eyes to look at the door.

The person who came was Zhang Ergou, panting and looking straight at Lu Fan.

"Fan! Brother Fan! You're back! Tell me what Qingzhou City is like! You suffocated me when you didn't come back!"
