"We finally found it. God bless us. I hope the wealthy owner of the City God Temple will take us in."
"Yes, as long as we can have something to eat, we can work like slaves."
Several women said with tears in their eyes.
Dong Wu, with his full beard, didn't say anything. He just stared at the towering wall on the mountain and suddenly said to Lu Fan, "Hey, little guy, what if that bastard master doesn't like us?"
Lu Fan looked up and said, "What do you think?"
"Bah! What's there to say? If I can't be welcome here, I'll find another place to stay. I'm not afraid of anything!" Dong Wu said arrogantly.
When Lu Fan heard this, he burst into laughter.
He originally thought that Dong Wu would say that if he looked down on him, he would resort to violence and severely punish the rich master.
I never thought that he would say such a thing.
"Don't worry, if I were a rich man, I would definitely like you." Lu Fan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Dong Wu rolled his eyes at Lu Fan with disdain.
I thought to myself: If you could become a rich man, I'd go eat shit right now.
"Let's go."
Dong Wu then led a group of people up the mountain.
Lu Fan followed behind.
"Damn it! The owner of this City God Temple is really rich! Look at this! The outer wall is so high! Is he afraid of thieves?"
As he walked, Dong Wu pointed at the towering wall surrounding the mountain.
"Maybe this rich man is cautious." Lu Fan said.
Dong Wu snorted, "What do you mean by cautious? I think he's just rich and timid."
Lu Fan smiled and said nothing more.
soon.
The group arrived at the foot of the City God Temple.
Looking at the towering walls, envy appeared on everyone's face, including Dong Wu.
Although he is a knight with great martial arts skills, in these years of starvation, martial arts alone cannot stop hunger!
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into our young master's private territory?"
Just as Dong Wu and his men arrived outside the wall surrounding the mountain, a group of guards stopped them.
The leader was Wang Dayong.
Because Lu Fan was at the end of the team, Wang Dayong and others did not see Lu Fan at the first time.
"Sir, we are refugees from famine. We heard that the God of Wealth at the City God Temple is looking for laborers, so... we thought we'd give it a try."
A woman spoke timidly.
Wang Dayong glanced at the women and said, "I'm sorry! Our young master never hires women, so you'd better leave."
"Please, we can do anything and endure any hardship. We only ask that you take us in and give us something to eat..."
Upon hearing this, several women immediately knelt on the ground and cried and begged.
"Why!"
"It's no use begging me! Our young master really never recruits women." Wang Dayong sighed.
At this moment, Dong Wu, with his beard, couldn't help but stand up.
"Damn it! Are you even human beings, you bastards? Why can't you be a little bit kind? Besides, they don't eat for free, they work for you!"
"Boy, tell me, am I right?"
Dong Wu turned and asked Lu Fan.
"wrong!"
Lu Fan stood up with a smile.
Forehead?
"You little brat, how dare you say I'm wrong?" Dong Wu was surprised that Lu Fan would refute him.
Lu Fan smiled and said, "Because I'm telling the truth! Think about it, during these years of famine, there were so many poor people who died of starvation and freezing. Even if someone is a wealthy man, you can't just give alms to everyone you see, right?"
"cocoa..."
Dong Wu was suddenly choked by Lu Fan's words and was speechless.
"But, good man, you are different." Lu Fan continued.
"I?"
Dong Wu was stunned.
"That's right! It's precisely because of chivalrous people like you that perhaps the wealthy master can change his mind."
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he winked at Dong Wu.
Just when Dong Wu hadn't figured out what was going on, Lu Fan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll take all of you in today!"
After saying that.
He walked forward.
Looking at Lu Fan walking forward, Dong Wu wondered: What does this kid mean?
Just as he was wondering, Wang Dayong and a group of laborers at the gate of the wall saw Lu Fan.
"Little... little master? Why are you here?"
"I brought them here."
Lu Fan said lightly.
Hearing this, Wang Dayong and his fellow laborers were stunned.
As for Dong Wu and others behind, they were all dumbfounded when they heard the laborers calling Lu Fan "young master".
"What the hell?"
"What do these people call that kid, Little Master?"
Lu Fan turned around and said with a smile, "Because I am the cowardly and stingy tycoon of the City God Temple that you all are talking about."
"Bed..."
"Are you... the young master of the City God Temple?"
The bearded man spat out a mouthful of anger when he heard this.
Several women fleeing famine behind him also heard this, and their eyes widened and they stood there petrified.
"Brother Dong, don't be surprised. I really am!"
"As you said, I, a wealthy man, am indeed stingy and timid, so I must be cautious in everything I do. I hope Brother Dong doesn't mind."
Lu Fan said with a smile.
Hearing Lu Fan say this, Dong Wu's head suddenly exploded.
Only now did he understand that Lu Fan was really the rich owner of this City God Temple.
No wonder he said he knew how to get to Chenghuang Temple!
No wonder he didn't worry about being taken away by the God of Wealth in the City God Temple along the way.
Thinking of all this, Dong Wu immediately cursed.
"Lu, you're such a bad boy! You actually lied to me all the way..."
Lu Fan laughed and said, "There's no other way. I have to be cautious!"
Dong Wu was so angry that he glared and cursed.
Lu Fan, however, was not angry. He walked over with a smile and said, "Okay, Brother Dong, to make it up to you, I'll make an exception today and accept all of you!"
Hearing that Lu Fan was actually going to take them all in, Dong Wu's eyes lit up and asked, "Really?"
"How could I possibly lie to you, Brother Dong?"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he looked up at everyone in front of him and said, "Today, although I can take you in, I have to say this: once you come here, you must obey me in everything! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude when the time comes."
"Thank you for taking us in, young master. Don't worry, young master. As long as you can give us something to eat, even if it means working like a slave, we are willing to do it."
When the women saw that Lu Fan agreed to take them in, they immediately knelt down and worshiped him.
After hearing this, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction.
actually.
Before meeting Dong Wu, Lu Fan had never thought of taking in these women and children!
It was Dong Wu who made Lu Fan change his mind!
It's because the only person Lu Fan wants to take in is Dong Wu.
