After Lu Fan asked in detail, he realized that it was because of him that he owed the money.
Three years ago, Lu Fan's parents and brother disappeared at the same time. They were looked down upon by everyone in the village, the most powerful of whom was Wang Dabao.
Lu Fan had a fight with Wang Dabao at that time and beat the boy half to death.
The court sentenced him to three years and ordered him to pay Wang Dabao 100,000 yuan. After he entered, Liu Yun was forced to sign an IOU of 100,000 yuan to Wang Dabao, which was repayable in three years.
"So it's all because of me." Lu Fan clenched his fists, his eyes red, "Sister-in-law, it's me who's sorry for you and Ling'er, it's me who made you suffer!"
"Don't say that, just come back. Let's work together as a family and we will definitely be able to pay off all the debts soon!" Liu Yun's attitude was always so gentle, even when he mentioned such a huge debt, No worries either.
But Lu Fan knew that his sister-in-law said this just to comfort him.
After all, these debts in the family are all because of him. My sister-in-law does not dare to say how difficult these years have been, because she is afraid that he will feel guilty.
Lu Fan thought about it in his mind and immediately understood.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll go to the mountains to see if there are any valuable herbs to collect and sell for money!"
"Xiao Fan, you just came home, there's no need to be in such a hurry!" Liu Yun took his hand, "Sister-in-law will cook you a meal, and then you can think of ways to make money after you finish it."
Liu Yun's hands were warm and delicate, but there were calluses in some subtle places. Obviously, she had suffered a lot in the past few years.
Lu Fan had no choice but to stay any longer: "Sister-in-law, it will take a while for you to cook. I will go for a walk in the mountains. I will be back when the meal is ready."
After saying that, he broke away from his sister-in-law's hand, turned around and walked up the mountain.
"Then you have to come back early!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Liu Yun could only shout from behind.
"Okay." Lu Fan didn't look back, just waved his hand and continued walking up the mountain.
When he reached a place where his sister-in-law couldn't see him, his speed became faster.
In the past few years, under the old man's guidance, his abilities have been improved in all aspects, including speed and endurance. What he has shown now is just the tip of the iceberg.
His target is Broken Heart Cliff, which can be said to be the most valuable and dangerous place in Baiyun Mountain.
There are many precious medicinal materials in that place, and any one of them is worth a lot of money, but there are only a few people who can take the medicinal materials out of there alive.
However, what attracted Lu Fan most to Broken Heart Cliff was not the medicinal herbs. There were many ways for him to make money, and it was not necessary to find medicinal herbs.
What Lu Fan yearns for most is the legend of the immortal on Baiyun Mountain, and Broken Heart Cliff is the place where the legendary immortal once lived.
Although the terrain of Duanchang Cliff is steep, it is not the highest peak of Baiyun Mountain. It is located halfway up the mountain, not too far from the bottom of the mountain.
Lu Fan quickly arrived at the foot of Broken Heart Cliff. He had no intention of going up along the path. For him, it would be faster to climb directly along the cliff.
However, on the path ahead, there were actually two people, a man and a woman, who were carefully clinging to the edge of the cliff and walking up it.
Judging from the clothes of the two people, they seemed to be city dwellers, and they looked quite wealthy.
Lu Fan ignored them. Although most of the people who came here came here to collect medicine, he wouldn't mind as long as they didn't affect him.
He took out a small grappling hook with a rope from his backpack, then threw it up, and the grappling hook caught a stone.
Lu Fan pulled the rope and felt that the strength was enough, so he started climbing.
His climb relied entirely on such a small grappling hook, which was several times more dangerous than the most extreme rock climbing in the world.
However, there was nothing unusual about Lu Fan's face. He seemed to be very proficient in all this.
Michelle and her brother carefully walked on the path beside Broken Heart Cliff. They came here to complete their family's adult mission.
There is a tradition in the Mi family that when the next generation reaches adulthood, they must go to Duanchang Cliff to pick an herb and come back, in order to be considered a true Mi family. Otherwise, they must leave the Mi family and live on their own.
Originally, they shouldn't have looked around. This place was too dangerous. Something might happen if they concentrated all their attention. How could they bother to look around?
"Brother, what do you think that is?" When Michelle turned back to wipe her sweat inadvertently, she suddenly found a person, clinging to the cliff wall, swooping up.
The young and handsome man next to her turned around and glanced at Lu Fan, who was climbing quickly, and was shocked in his heart.
"Maybe he is a rock climbing enthusiast. There are many strange people nowadays, and it is normal for some to be good at climbing cliffs. Let's leave him alone and focus on walking carefully. He might fall down and die if he misses his footing! "
After saying that, the two people began to concentrate on climbing again.
However, an idea arose in their minds at the same time. If they also had such climbing ability, wouldn't this task be much easier?
Lu Fan didn't know that he had aroused the envy of others while he was still climbing the cliff.
Such a cliff may look like a natural chasm to ordinary people, but to him, it can only be regarded as average.
Thinking of this, he would inevitably think of the old man, and he didn't know why a person like the old man stayed in that prison. What was on his mind?
Although he was thinking a lot in his mind, Lu Fan's body movements were not slow at all. He grabbed the rope, and any protruding stone on the cliff could become a fulcrum for him to draw strength from.
When he crawls to the hook, he removes the hook, throws it up again, and hooks it to the protrusion above.
There was no lag in the whole process. Although it was a steep cliff, it was not much different from those indoor rock climbing toys in front of him.
Soon, Lu Fan climbed to the top of the cliff.
The top of Broken Heart Cliff is a relatively flat place. If you want to get up, other than climbing up like him, you can only walk on the narrow road like the Mi family brothers and sisters.
Although this place is not big, there are indeed enough medicinal herbs. What surprised Lu Fan the most was that there was a large area of golden thread orchids growing here!
To be honest, although Lu Fan came here to collect medicinal materials, he did not expect to be able to pay off all the family's debts just by collecting medicinal materials.
Because the current price of traditional Chinese medicine is not very high, even if it is expensive, it only costs tens of yuan per catty. It is definitely unrealistic to make hundreds of thousands by collecting medicine.
Those who go up the mountain to suddenly pick up a precious medicinal material and then get rich directly are just the imagination of novelists. The reality is very cruel.
However, this large area of golden thread orchid really made Lu Fan feel the possibility of paying off his debt.
You must know that A. aurantium has a reputation as the king of medicine. It has a very good therapeutic effect on many difficult and complicated diseases, so the price is also very expensive.
Especially in this area, it is obvious that they are wild golden thread orchid, which has higher medicinal value. It is estimated that the price can reach three hundred or four hundred yuan per catty.
Lu Fan stepped forward very happily. He walked to a golden orchids, lowered his head, and wanted to pick it out.
He has no plans to collect all the golden thread orchids today. There are too many for him to take. He plans to collect two plants as samples first, and after contacting the buyers, he will collect them on a large scale.
Moreover, in this place, there are not only golden thread orchids, but also many other rare medicinal herbs.
What a great place!
"Brother, we finally came up, but I'm exhausted!" A panting female voice suddenly reached Lu Fan's ears. He turned around and saw that it was the brother and sister from before who had also reached the top of the cliff.
