When we returned to the City God Temple, it was already dark.
When Lu Fan entered the cave, he saw his sister Lu Linger.
Lu Linger, who was cooking, was so frightened when she saw Lu Fan coming back covered in blood that the ladle in her hand dropped to the ground with a clang.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why is there so much blood on you?"
She asked fearfully as she ran over.
"Ling'er, don't be afraid. I'm fine. This blood is other people's blood!" Lu Fan put down the machete in his hand while comforting his sister.
Hearing that it wasn't her brother's blood, Lu Linger quickly asked, "Brother, what happened?"
Lu Fan then told the whole story of how he was robbed and murdered today.
When Lu Linger heard that someone was going to rob and kill Lu Fan, she was so scared that tears came out of her eyes.
"Brother, let's not go out anymore, okay? It's too dangerous outside..."
Lu Linger hugged Lu Fan and said.
Lu Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
It took a long time to comfort Lu Linger before coaxing the little girl to sleep.
Next.
Lu Fan washed the blood off his body with clean water.
today.
It was Lu Fan's first time killing someone.
But perhaps because he had seen too many dead people, Lu Fan did not feel panic or fear at all.
Now he just sat there blankly, looking at his hands.
He clearly remembered that when he was fighting the enemy today, if it weren't for the thin breath in his abdomen, he would probably have died today.
"However, how could the aura condensed from the Evergreen Technique be so powerful?"
Lu Fan was surprised.
"No matter what, it's absolutely right to practice the Evergreen Kung Fu first! As for how powerful this technique is, we'll find out by asking a martial artist later."
After thinking this, Lu Fan began to sit cross-legged and practice.
…
Ever since the robbery and murder incident, Lu Fan has not left the cave.
On the one hand, he needs to practice well.
On the other hand, he wants to grow more food and ginseng.
In addition to ginseng, Lu Fan now also grows Ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus.
Those Ganoderma lucidum, just as the shop assistant said, had the same effect as ginseng.
After eating it, Lu Fan not only became stronger and stronger, but also the energy condensed in his abdomen became more and more!
Isn't it?
In just ten days, Lu Fan planted three acres of ginseng, two acres of Ganoderma lucidum, and one acre of snow lotus in his cave.
However, Lu Fan specifically left two acres of ginseng. In order to achieve the effect of a century-old ginseng, Lu Fan had to plant more for a long time.
As for the remaining one acre of young crops, Lu Fan planned to cook and eat them himself first.
besides.
Now his magic gourd has stored nearly ten thousand stones of grain, and there are also eggs, wild vegetables, and other things.
If someone could see the collection in Lu Fan's treasure gourd now, they would definitely be surprised. This is simply a treasure trove!!!
at the same time.
Also during these ten days of cultivation.
Lu Fan's strength is growing stronger and stronger.
Now he can lift a 500-jin boulder.
However, the only depressing thing is that although Lu Fan's physical strength has increased in all aspects, he still knows nothing about martial arts!
In addition, he has only practiced the first level of "Evergreen Skill" so far, so Lu Fan feels that he must find a martial artist to learn some moves and skills.
The snow finally stopped.
After not leaving the cave for more than ten days, Lu Fan finally brought Lu Linger out one day.
Since having food, Lu Linger has grown more and more beautiful.
Not only did he grow taller, but his hair also grew thick and black.
Although she was wearing a tattered red jacket, it was still difficult to conceal her aura of a beauty.
Taking Ling'er for a walk outside the City God Temple.
Lu Fan stood outside the tall City God Temple, looking at the surrounding mountains, and he began to silently make his own plans in his mind.
He wanted to build all around with bluestone and then build a big house for himself.
Just like...the house of that wealthy man Huang Bairong!
wrong,
It must be bigger and better than Huang Bairong's house!
Since being kicked out of the Lu family, the two siblings have been homeless, and this cave is just a hiding place, with rather harsh conditions.
All along, his sister has been suffering with him. In the past, the financial conditions did not allow it, but now that he has money, in addition to having enough food to eat, he feels that he also needs a warm home.
Not only does Lu Fan hope to provide his sister with good living conditions, he also wants to live in a better house. After all, everyone wants to live a better life within their means.
"Yes! Let's build a big house first!"
"But, to build a house, we need to hire people. It seems that we will have to hire some laborers later."
Just as Lu Fan was thinking this in his heart, suddenly, Lu Linger who was playing in front of him screamed.
Lu Fan heard the cry and ran over quickly: "What's wrong, Ling'er?"
Lu Linger pointed at the snow in front of her and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, there are people ahead..."
people?
Lu Fan was startled and looked up.
As expected, there was a man in tattered clothes lying on the white snow. Judging from the man's half-dressed clothes, he must be a refugee.
At this moment, his face was covered with frostbite, and his pale face had no breath. He was lying in the snow like a dead man.
"Brother, is he dead?"
Lu Linger asked fearfully.
Lu Fan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Just as he was about to go over to check if the man was dead or alive, Lu Linger suddenly shouted, "Brother, he's moving... He's not dead!"
Just after Lu Linger finished speaking, the man struggled to get up from the ground and saw Lu Fan and his sister.
Lu Fan quickly protected his sister behind him and stared at the man with a vigilant look on his face.
"Kind person, can you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for several days..." The man's voice was hoarse, and his bloodshot eyes were full of pleading.
Want to eat?
It turns out that he is a refugee.
Faced with the man's plea, Lu Fan shook his head decisively.
"I have nothing to eat."
Hearing Lu Fan say this, the man laughed bitterly.
"Yeah, how could you two kids possibly have anything to eat these days? Sorry to bother you..."
Finished.
He limped down the mountain.
Seeing the man leave, Lu Linger suddenly said, "Brother, he's so pitiful..."
Lu Fan didn't say anything.
She just silently watched the man's back as he left.
When the man walked about ten meters, Lu Fan suddenly said, "Wait!"
The man turned his head when he heard the sound.
"Can you do the hard labor of building a house?"
Lu Fan suddenly asked.
"Build a house?" The man was stunned.
"Yes, can you?" Lu Fan asked again.
"I can... I used to be a mason."
Hearing that the man was a mason, Lu Fan's mind turned.
Now he is in need of manpower to build a courtyard house for him, and the man in front of him happens to be a mason. Doesn't this mean that this man can do the work for him?
Thinking of this, Lu Fan said.
"If you are really a mason, would you be willing to work with me?"
"You?" The man fleeing from famine was stunned.
"Yes, as long as you are willing to follow me, I can give you something to eat and keep you alive!"
"Really? Can you really give me something to eat?"
The fleeing man asked in disbelief.
Lu Fan nodded.
"But the premise is that you have to listen to me in everything from now on."
Before Lu Fan could finish his words, the man knelt down in front of him and said, "My benefactor, as long as you can give me a bite to eat, I will be willing to go through fire and water for you!"
"Okay, I hope you keep your word."
After saying that.
Lu Fan took Lu Ling'er back to the City God Temple.
Into the cave.
Lu Fan took out a bowl of porridge.
When the man who was fleeing famine saw Lu Fan actually bringing out a bowl of porridge, he was completely stunned.
"Rice porridge..."
"Is it really rice porridge?"
"Thank you, benefactor, thank you kind young master!"
The man suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Fan.
that's all.
Lu Fan successfully recruited his first laborer with a bowl of porridge.
From the subsequent conversation, Lu Fan learned some information about this man. He knew that his original name was Wang Dayong and he was a refugee from outside.
Because I was begging some time ago and got separated from my team, I ended up like this.
Hearing the man say this, Lu Fan asked, "So, you still have a lot of refugees around you?"
Wang Dayong nodded: "Yes, young master."
"Then can you bring them over to work for me?"
"Don't worry, as long as you work for me, I'll give you rice porridge! What do you think? Are you willing to bring them here?"
The walled house that Lu Fan wants to build is definitely not enough for Wang Dayong alone!
So he had to hire a group of hard laborers.
Hearing that Lu Fan could keep these refugees alive, Wang Dayong's bloodshot eyes widened and he asked, "Really, young master?"
"Um!"
"Please rest assured, young master, as long as they have a bowl of rice porridge, let alone asking them to do hard labor, they will be willing to go through fire and water for you."
When Lu Fan heard this, he smiled.
"Okay! From now on, you go and help me bring them here! Remember, I only want young and strong male laborers!" Lu Fan instructed.
"Yes, I understand."
