"Ling'er, here, this is what I bought for you."
While saying.
Lu Fan took out all the clothes and snacks he bought for Lu Linger from the magic gourd.
Seeing Lu Fan take out so many delicious foods, Lu Linger jumped up happily.
Picking up a bunch of gourds, Lu Linger pointed at a pile of snacks and new clothes and asked in confusion, "Brother, you bought so many things for me, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Lu Fan chuckled.
"Brother is rich now."
For Lu Fan, who just earned one thousand taels of silver from the third son of the Sima family today, he can indeed be said to be a local rich man.
So this little money is nothing at all.
After giving the things to his sister, Lu Fan started to get busy in the cave.
Now.
The big house will be completed soon.
If nothing goes wrong, the mansion will be almost completed in the next two days.
Then, he could move in with Ling'er and no longer have to live in this dark cave.
After storing all the food grown in the cave into the magic gourd.
Lu Fan looked at the ginseng in the other two acres of land.
Now these ginsengs are getting bigger and bigger.
And the years are getting higher and higher.
In another month, the ginseng will have been grown for a hundred days and will become a real century-old ginseng.
If you sell it then, it will be worth a lot of money.
In addition, Lu Fan also harvested the Ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus and put them into his magic gourd.
After finishing everything, Lu Fan began to make tonic pills.
To make a tonic pill, you only need to grind a little grain, add a little ginseng powder, and some Ganoderma lucidum fragments, mix them together and knead them into a pill, then dry them and the pill is ready.
To put it bluntly, if Lu Fan's tonic pill is sold at the normal market price, it would cost less than one penny of silver.
But now, it can be sold for ten taels at once.
This is a thousand times more profit!
So, Lu Fan started making it.
One night.
Lu Fan then rubbed out more than a hundred tonic pills.
This time, Lu Fan added more ginseng powder to the tonic pills in order to make them more effective.
Looking at the more than one hundred tonic pills he made, Lu Fan seemed to see a pile of white silver bills!
Money!
This is all real money!
…
Black Wind Village.
It is located dozens of kilometers south of Qingyang Town.
This place is a restricted area for refugees.
It is also known as the most dangerous place within a hundred miles of Qingyang Town.
Why?
Of course, it's because these bandits are used to robbing and killing people.
It is said that.
In front of the Black Wind Village, there are mass graves of various sizes.
All the people there were poor people who were captured by bandits. They were killed and thrown into the ditch.
now.
There was a mass grave with corpses everywhere, and several bandits were carrying several corpses and throwing them into the pit.
In the mass graves that exuded an endless stench of corpses, white bones could be seen everywhere.
"Dog, have you heard? It seems that the food in our village is getting less and less."
A bandit with a knife on his waist spoke.
"I heard about it!"
"Damn it, it's a good thing that our boss was so wise that he let us capture some women and children who were fleeing famine in advance. Otherwise, all of us brothers would have starved to death!" said the man called Gou Zi.
"Ah! What a damned world!"
"What's the use of scolding? There are many people starving to death outside. We are already doing pretty well." said Gou Zi.
"That's true!"
The man spat, raised his head and looked down at the village.
"I wonder if Third Master can bring back more rice this time when he goes out to beg for food? Damn it, I haven't had any real food since I robbed a family in Qingyang Town last month."
The man cursed.
"According to Shouhou, it seems like there really is hope this time," said Gouzi.
"real?"
"Well, Skinny Monkey told me personally before he left. He said that the villagers said that the guy in the City God Temple not only has money and food, but also has young girls inside."
"Bed? Don't lie to me."
"Why would I lie to you about this?"
"Haha, that's great! If we can really get the girl back, then we'll have more tender meat to eat, right?"
"Isn't that right?"
"But, it seems like it's been almost a day since the Third In Command left. How come we haven't seen him and his men come back yet?" The bandit wondered as he looked down the mountain.
"Why are you in such a hurry? From what I can gather, based on the Third Master's style, he'll definitely have done it there first before bringing it back."
"Haha, that's right."
Just as the two bandits were chatting with each other, suddenly, several figures in the distance appeared in their eyes.
"Damn it, someone broke into the village, quickly copy them!"
These bandits were extremely alert. When they saw a dozen figures in front of them stumbling towards the Black Wind Village, they immediately drew the long swords from their waists.
"Huh?"
"Look, are those guys still naked?"
The bandit Gouzi suddenly looked at the group of people and wondered.
"Damn, it's true! It's so cold, aren't these idiots afraid of freezing to death?"
Another bandit also muttered.
As the group of naked guys got closer and closer to Black Wind Village, Gouzi suddenly narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Look at that guy, does he look like the skinny monkey under the Third In command?"
What?
"Skinny monkey?"
The other bandit took a closer look and recognized it at a glance.
"Damn, it really is Skinny Monkey and the others."
At the bottom of the village, the guy in front was shivering with cold and almost frozen to death. It turned out to be the skinny monkey and a dozen bandits that Lu Fan had let go.
But what is curious is that there were originally dozens of bandits, but now there are only a dozen left.
"What's going on? Why are Skinny Monkey and the others shirtless? And where are our Third Boss and the others?"
The bandit Gou Zi made a puzzled sound.
"Don't worry about it, let's go down and take a look."
Finished.
The two bandits ran away quickly.
I saw it at the entrance of the village.
A dozen or so bandits, including Skinny Monkey, who was bare-chested and freezing to death, fell in the snow when they arrived at the gate of Black Wind Village.
Rumble!
As the village gate opened, Gou Zi and the bandits quickly ran out.
"Skinny monkey, skinny monkey, how did you become like this?"
After a few bandits ran out, they immediately helped the naked skinny monkey up.
I saw a skinny monkey, almost dead, his mouth so cold that he couldn't speak.
He just trembled and said, "It's over... It's over..."
"What's over? Skinny Monkey, explain yourself clearly! Also, what about the Third Boss and the other brothers?"
Gou Zi remembered that the third in command clearly brought about a hundred brothers down the mountain!
But why are there only a dozen of them coming back now?
"Dead... all dead..."
The skinny monkey said while trembling.
What?
Hearing that they were all dead, the bandits in front of them were all stunned.
I wanted to ask the skinny monkey what was wrong, but the skinny monkey was so cold that after saying those few words, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
