"Well, I just heard two merchants talk about this at the tea stall in the market."
Lu Yuan responded casually.
Can he say that he was in Mei County, Nanhai County, when he heard the news about the Black Wind Pirates?
Of course not, wouldn't that be exposed?
So for now, naturally, I can only talk nonsense.
Fortunately, Dr. Zhou didn't pay much attention to this. He just sighed and lamented: "We, the common people, are already having a hard time now. Now bandits have come and are wreaking havoc everywhere. The poverty has become even worse. People's livelihood is so difficult."
Lu Yuan glanced at him and revealed: "You are a doctor. Now that there is banditry, the government and local gangs will inevitably go to encircle and suppress you. There will definitely be a fight, and someone will be injured if there is a fight.
When the time comes, won’t the wounded have to come to you for treatment?
And I heard that this group of black thieves are all horse bandits, with hundreds of members.
It's not that easy to encircle and suppress them.
Maybe this siege will drag on for several months.
Therefore, low-class people like me may have difficulty making a living because of this banditry. But as a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, you will definitely have continuous business and make a lot of money. "
When Zhou Ze heard this, he immediately glared angrily: "I am a doctor. I practice medicine to save the wounded and save lives. If possible, I would rather not admit these patients and not make this money. I just want peace in the world and peace in the place."
As a kind-hearted and ambitious doctor, Zhou Ze felt that he had been underestimated.
Is he the kind of person who cares about the lives of others just to make money?
of course not.
Otherwise, I would not have persuaded Lu Yuan again and again.
Although it turned out in the end that persuasion was useless and even wrong. But this cannot deny Zhou Ze's good intentions.
"Okay, okay."
Lu Yuan quickly surrendered and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I misunderstood you, I shouldn't have said that."
Seeing that his supplier was angry, he quickly stopped talking. I still count on Dr. Zhou to continue to provide medicinal materials in the future, but I can't make him angry.
Zhou Ze snorted softly: "I think you are happier with this banditry than me. Why do you want to imitate other people's chivalry and kill bandits after learning two martial arts?"
"No." Lu Yuan waved his hand: "I have just become a bit famous, and with this ability, I have improved my life a little, but I haven't had enough good days yet.
Let the people in the arena do the fighting and killing.
I am not a Jianghu person, just an ordinary hunter. I just want to make money quietly, practice martial arts, and then accumulate money and money, and enjoy life. "
joke.
There was a banditry in Luling Mansion, but it did not affect any of his interests.
So what if the trade route is blocked?
If you don’t do business, you don’t have anything to transport, so you don’t suffer any losses at all.
No matter whether Heifeng Dao is killing people or setting fires, as long as he doesn't kill himself and is full, he will not think about fighting desperadoes like them.
Lu Yuan was not a great saint, he did not have much chivalrous heart, and he had never thought about saving the world.
All he wants is to practice martial arts to protect himself, and then live out his endless years happily.
Zhou Ze glanced at Lu Yuan approvingly: "Although your idea is a bit unambitious, it is indeed a way to live longer."
Dr. Zhou is used to seeing those young heroes who are righteous and willing to do whatever they need. But except for a few who are lucky, talented, and have a backing, the vast majority of these people just wander around in the world for two days and then lose it. life.
Except for a few monsters, those who can really live long in the world are those who can survive.
"What's the use of ambition? Can it be used as food?" Lu Yuan curled his lips.
As an immortal, what you want should not be ambition, but goals and ideals.
The spirit that others use to motivate themselves and work hard is of no use to him.
Because all achievements will slowly accumulate over time.
simplest.
Others inspire you to practice peerless swordsmanship within a year.
But for Lu Yuan, even if he practices one move a year for hundreds or thousands of years, he can still master the peerless swordsmanship, and he can even practice it better.
So ambition and spirit are meaningless to him.
"Oh, right."
Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something and quickly took out three large silver ingots from his arms, all weighing ten ounces, and put them on the table: "Prepare six months' worth of medicine for me this time. Since there are bandits outside, for the sake of safety, this time I’ll just buy more medicinal materials to save myself the trouble every month.”
But he remembered the Black Wind Bandit's behavior.
This group of thieves acted ruthlessly and killed people like crazy. When he was in Meixian County, he slaughtered more than a dozen large households. Now that I have arrived at Luling Mansion, I don’t know how many country tycoons have been wiped out.
Even Lu Yuan couldn't help his eyelids twitching when he heard of such acts.
Although there is currently no news about the Black Wind Road in Dayu County.
But just in case, he decided to go out less. Prepare to stay home and get out of the limelight.
"But in Yangmei Town, the defense force is only a dozen militia groups, and even I can't defeat them. If the Black Wind Bandits really come, it won't be safe.
In fact, the best thing is to hide in the cave inside the mountain. The mountains and the sea are vast, and if I burrow into the forest, no one will be able to find me.
never mind.
The situation is not yet at that stage, so we should wait and see which direction the wind blows.
The question is really wrong, it’s not too late to run away then. "
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
While he was thinking about it, Zhou Ze also prepared the medicinal materials for practicing. Half a year's worth of medicinal materials, including the preparation of Qibuxiang, are extremely large.
Seeing that Lu Yuan did not bring his own backpack this time, Zhou Ze simply found one for him at home to hold the medicine.
But it's not for free, it costs fifty cents to buy.
In this regard, Lu Yuan, who was already a rich man, naturally gave it readily.
In this way, carrying a large backpack, he left the hospital.
…
All the medicines I wanted to buy were available.
After Lu Yuan heard the news about the Black Wind Bandit, he didn't want to stay in the city any longer and planned to go back as soon as possible.
Walking on the street, I suddenly saw a large group of people gathering at the intersection in front of me.
He walked over curiously.
Before they even got close to the crowd, they heard shrill cries and screams of pain.
When he arrived, Lu Yuan saw that in the center of the crowd, several strong men were beating an old man. It was Mr. Scar's group.
"Stop, please, you guys, don't hit my father."
Next to him, a young man in rough clothes, being held up by two strong men from the Black Wolf Gang, cried desperately: "We know we were wrong, it's not that we really don't want to pay, we really don't have any cash on hand.
When we sell the leather and have money, we will pay it immediately, twice as much.
Please, please stop hitting my father. "
However, no matter how much he cried and begged, the Black Wolf Gang members did not stop. Instead, seeing his appearance, they all showed cruel smiles and fought harder.
Under their beating, Lao Chen rolled on the ground repeatedly and screamed in pain. A lot of blood could even be seen splattered on the ground.
And the extent of this old hunter's struggle gradually became smaller.
But no one cares about all this.
Some of the people watching outside became excited and cheered secretly, as if they were watching a big show.
Some people with good intentions just showed their unbearable expressions, but did not dare to stand up and say a word. Even when some people from the Black Wolf Gang looked over, they all lowered their heads in fear.
Regarding this scene, the members of the Black Wolf Gang laughed even more happily.
That's it.
Just look at these untouchables, begging themselves, and then looking desperate.
These people from the Black Wolf Gang were angry enough today and were about to get them back.
Although Mr. Scar beside him did not speak, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
Looking at this scene in the crowd, Lu Yuan frowned: "Old Chen Xiao Chen?"
He knew the two father and son who were being beaten in front of him. Like himself, they were both hunters in Lantau Island.
However, the two sides don't have much interaction on weekdays. They can only be regarded as familiar faces, not friendship.
'These mad dogs, unable to bite me, will bite other people instead? '
Lu Yuan thought this in his mind, took one last look at the scene where the Black Wolf Gang maintained the "rules", and turned to leave.
He had no idea of helping.
Although Lao Chen and his son may have been implicated by him.
But again, the two sides are not familiar with each other.
Moreover, although Lu Yuan forced Master Scar and others to retreat in front of them today, this was not entirely due to strength. The bigger factor was "rules".
He relied on the rules of the arena to force Master Scar and the others away.
Now, Master Scar and the others are beating Lao Chen, and they are also following the rules.
Because of this, Lu Yuan would never take the initiative to violate the rules before he was strong enough to break all the rules.
Because that represents danger.
As an immortal, he is most afraid of danger.
As for Lao Chen and his son?
At most, Lu Yuan could only mourn twice in his heart, and then forget about it.
Two strangers died and it was good enough to be able to say a few words of silence. What else do you want?
Well, he is indeed a cold-blooded person.
But it is precisely because of this that maybe we can live longer.
