Lu Fan knocked out Brother Hu and Demon Girl, and immediately felt troubled. What should he do with these two? After much thought, he decided he couldn't alert the villagers, to avoid unnecessary panic and worry for his family. So, he took out his phone and dialed Shen Xinyi's number.
"Kid! Calling me so late, were you kicked out by Yu Yan?" Shen Xinyi's teasing voice came from the other end as soon as the call was connected.
"Sister Xinyi! You... you're not a gentleman by day and a rogue by night, are you?" Lu Fan was a bit surprised. Shen Xinyi was the director, with an air of authority. He wouldn't even dare to joke with her. He hadn't expected her to be like a different person at night.
"Scram...!" Shen Xinyi had intended to tease this kid. She and Liu Ruyan had grown up together, were best friends, and confided in each other. Teasing her little lover was only natural. She hadn't expected to be almost choked by his words.
"Speak! Why are you calling?" Shen Xinyi suddenly asked.
"Sister Xinyi! Why are you suddenly so serious? Your mood swings are a bit hard to accept. Hehe!" Lu Fan said with a grin.
"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm hanging up!" Shen Xinyi said, rolling her eyes.
"Sister Xinyi! I've encountered an assassin!" Lu Fan said urgently.
"Are you royalty or a millionaire? Encountered an assassin! Why weren't you stabbed to death!?" Shen Xinyi was almost angered to the point of her nose turning red. Was this kid here to make fun of her in the middle of the night?
"No... Sister Xinyi! I encountered a killer! Really! I'm not joking with you!" Lu Fan said again in a hurry.
"A killer? To kill you? For what... No... you're really not lying?" Shen Xinyi was about to mock Lu Fan when she suddenly thought of the Liu family and asked urgently.
"I'm really not lying! I'll take a picture and send it to you, you can see!" After Lu Fan finished speaking, he aimed his phone at Brother Hu and Demon Girl and clicked... took a photo and sent it.
"You wait, I'll be right there!" Seeing the photo, Shen Xinyi jumped out of bed. She quickly put on her clothes and rushed out the door.
Lu Fan sat at the foot of the mountain, staring at the road at the entrance of the village. More than ten minutes later, a police car sped over. Lu Fan picked up Demon Girl's flashlight and flashed it twice at the police car, which then drove towards the foot of the mountain.
Shen Xinyi and a police officer, Xiao Zhao, got out of the car and quickly came to Lu Fan's side. Upon seeing Brother Hu and Demon Girl groaning on the ground, Shen Xinyi rushed over and gave Lu Fan a big hug. Feeling two soft masses collide with him, Lu Fan was startled and froze, not daring to move.
"Kid! You've rendered a great service! These two are wanted criminals!!" Shen Xinyi was so happy she almost jumped up.
"Shh... Sister Xinyi! This matter cannot be publicized, and the villagers must not know. To avoid panic and unnecessary worry!" Lu Fan said urgently.
"Right! Why did they want to kill you?" As Lu Fan said this, Shen Xinyi instantly calmed down and asked.
"How would I know! You'll have to ask them! I asked them for a long time just now, and they wouldn't say!" Lu Fan shrugged. He could naturally guess that Lin Quan was behind it, but he didn't want anyone to know, especially his parents, who would worry themselves to death.
"Xiao Zhao! Take these two away!" Shen Xinyi nodded and immediately said to Xiao Zhao.
Clang... Two pairs of handcuffs were placed on the wrists of Brother Hu and Demon Girl, and they were put into the police car.
"Sister Xinyi! The car at the village entrance should be theirs!" Lu Fan said urgently.
"Okay! Tomorrow, you'll come to the police station and help us make a statement!" Shen Xinyi said to Lu Fan.
"How about... I go now?" Lu Fan suddenly said.
"You... if you like sleeping on the streets, then go ahead!" Shen Xinyi gave Lu Fan a sideways glance.
"Then forget it...!" Lu Fan pouted. Did he say something wrong? He was clearly trying to help the police with their investigation out of goodwill! Humph!
Watching Shen Xinyi and the others leave, Lu Fan suddenly lost his sleepiness. So, he practiced the twelve forms of close-quarters combat at the foot of the mountain. Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Each move and stance was practiced by Lu Fan with great vigor.
As the east turned white, Lu Fan finally stopped. He had practiced for the entire night, and it could be said that he had mastered these twelve forms.
"It would be great if I had someone to practice with. Perhaps then I could not only practice but also use them!" Lu Fan rested for a moment and muttered to himself.
Last night, when he faced Brother Hu and Demon Girl, he didn't have the advantage. Even the moves he had practiced before, though he knew how to use them, he barely had time to employ them. Lu Fan knew this was because his practice wasn't precise or skillful enough. To practice well, he needed an imaginary opponent... org
Seeing that the sky was already white, Lu Fan took out the Spirit Gathering Bottle. With one eye squinted and a look of anticipation, he peered into the bottle. Holy cow! There was more! Lu Fan jumped up immediately! This was a treasure! How could he not be excited! With more spiritual liquid, diluted in water according to the ratio, he could cultivate more mushrooms. Mushrooms could be converted into money.
"I want to start a wild delicacy product company, so it can't be just mushrooms. We should also produce some other wild vegetables. Hmm! Tomorrow, I'll discuss other wild vegetable products with Ruyan. For now, I'll go pick mushrooms."
With this thought, Lu Fan hurried up the mountain.
In the pine forest, Lu Fan cultivated the Shen Nong Health Cultivation Art while waiting for the mushrooms to grow. Although he hadn't slept all night, Lu Fan didn't feel tired. Instead, he felt full of energy and strength. Lu Fan was also puzzled. If it wasn't for excessive excitement, it must be the benefits of the Health Cultivation Art.
When the sun climbed over the mountaintop, Chen Bei had placed three large bags of mushrooms in his own yard. Then he called Wang Yan.
"Xiao Fan! You actually picked so many mushrooms!" Zhao Rongrong saw the more than a hundred catties of mushrooms and shouted excitedly. Yesterday, she had wondered why she hadn't seen this kid picking mushrooms, but today her heart was at ease. Her son really went to the city to sell mushrooms.
"Lu Fan! Why did you ask me to come over?" At this moment, Wang Yan asked, standing at the doorway. Wang Yan was happy to receive the call and had dressed up specially. Today, she was wearing tight blue capri pants, a pink blouse, and a pair of black low-heeled leather shoes. Her mature and beautiful figure, paired with a handsome face, truly made many men unable to resist.
"Sister-in-law Wang Yan! I have over a hundred catties of mushrooms here, and there's no more space in our yard. Could you help me take them to your place to dry them? I can pay you wages!" Lu Fan hurriedly opened the main door to let Wang Yan into the yard.
"We live in the same village, so it's too formal to talk about money!... Well! How much can you pay?" Wang Yan's face lit up. As a widow, she didn't want to earn ill-gotten gains, but she couldn't earn honest money. She was on the verge of embarrassment, not knowing how to proceed. Being able to earn money was the best thing.
Especially after hearing that Taohua was helping Lu Fan hatch wild chicks, and Lu Fan had promised to pay her wages, the happy Taohua told everyone she met. Hmph! Now she could also earn money from Lu Fan!
"Hehe! Sister-in-law Wang Yan! Stick with me from now on, and I guarantee you can make money!" Lu Fan said with a grin.
