The Land Rover finally stopped at a spot near Zhou Ol 'Four's house, full of potholes. A middle-aged man, who appeared to be a 40-50 year old boss, led the group. Little Fatso, who was wearing a sports coat, followed closely behind him. When they arrived at the entrance of the house, they discovered that it was General Zhou's house.
"Sure enough!" The boss did not seem disappointed.
When the sports wear beauty saw the door was locked, she asked with concern, "Boss, should we wait here or come back next time?"
The boss said blandly, "There is no end to waiting. Maybe the next time he will come, he will be a military officer. Zhuge Liang doesn't want to see Liu Bei, and Liu Bei would rather have his family stay at Longgang than wait until his death." If my guess is correct, they are definitely inside. "
Little Fatso sized up the entrance and walls of Zhou's house and said confidently, "Boss, do you want me to take a look?"
The boss suddenly raised his voice and said, "It would be rude to barge in and let others know about it."
"But boss …" The little fatty seemed to want to say something.
The boss only said loudly, "I don't believe that you can't recruit these two immortals to be the Martial Saint of the Proclamation of Liberation. Diao Chan, you go over to that chair, I'll sit here and wait. "
It was indeed as he had thought, Old Zhou and Zhou Feng had been hiding inside. It was not because they had any foresight, but because the sound of the Land Rover's engines was too loud in this quiet little village. When they stopped the car, Zhou Ol 'Four and Zhou Feng had already made the appropriate preparations. It should be known that Ol' Four's house had two sets of courtyards. If this door was locked, they could just walk through another door.
Seeing the scene where he faintly appeared in his dreams, Zhou Feng couldn't help but think of that day's events. He thought of that girl who was as pure as a lotus, and suddenly asked about that matter. Zhou Feng knew he couldn't get anything out of him, so he could only think of another way.
The boss and his men were all discussing outside the door, but when Zhou Feng heard that the guy called Zhuang Chan was going to climb over the wall, he was truly shocked. If they really fought, ten of him and his fourth brother wouldn't be a match for him. Fortunately, the boss rejected this idea. If he really jumped in recently, Zhou Feng really didn't know what to do. However, the boss seemed to have some morals.
"Hurry up!" The fourth brother seemed to have thought of something and pulled Zhou Feng towards another yard.
Zhou Feng was at a loss as he said: "Fourth Uncle, it is their freedom to wait outside, as long as we don't go out!"
"Child, this is the difference. No wonder you can only work everywhere. How many times could the boss take it seriously? "If you believe them, you might as well believe them." Zhou Lao Si said excitedly, pulling on Zhou Feng's hand harder.
Zhou Feng was dragged towards the courtyard by him, saying with some doubt: "That can't be!"
Before this word even landed on the ground, a huge figure had already appeared in front of them. Who else could it be other than the statue? He smiled mischievously, "Fourth Uncle, I didn't expect it to be you. Just now, I happened to pass your courtyard and saw that the door was locked. There was a chirping sound coming from inside, not like that of a sneaky mouse. This nephew was worried for you, so I reckoned that you wouldn't mind if I jumped in! "
"If it was really a coincidence, we wouldn't mind!" Zhou Feng said coldly.
He only stared at Old Zhou and said, "Fourth Uncle, it can't be that you also think this way, right?"
Fourth Zhou smiled and said, "Of course not. When I came back, I also heard some squeaking sounds. I entered from the front, afraid of alerting the snake, so I entered from the back. I knew that this mouse was very cunning. It had clearly disappeared just now, but I didn't expect it to come again." It even alarmed your esteemed guest, causing me, your fourth uncle, to feel a little embarrassed. "
But on the other hand, he still had a harmless smile on his face as he said, "Fourth Uncle, there is no need to be embarrassed. It is merely a small effort, it is nothing much. That's right, our Boss Fan has been admiring his name for a long time. Do you think we should meet each other? "
Fourth Brother Zhou turned around and stared at Zhou Feng, saying, "Brat, what are you doing just standing there like an idiot? "If an esteemed guest is coming, then why aren't you going to greet him?"
Zhou Feng quickly agreed, trotting out from the backyard, opening the lock on the front door, respectfully inviting Boss Fan in. For this group of people, he didn't have as much scruples as Zhou Lao Si. Since he had already embarked on a feudal, superstitious bandit ship, it was a different story whether he wanted to believe him or not. However, the confidence to carry on the cause of playing tricks and deceiving had vanished completely after the receipt of the hundred yuan bills yesterday. Actually, it didn't matter whose successor one was, since socialism would eventually come to fruition. However, this didn't stop one from earning a little money first, after all, some people had gotten rich first.
When Boss Fan saw Zhou Lao Si, he enthusiastically reached out his hand and said, "You must be Zhou Hongyuan, Zhou Xianshi. Boss Fan, upon seeing Zhou Lao Si, warmly reached out his hand and said," You must be Zhou Hongyuan, Zhou Xiansheng, right?
Zhou Ol 'Four said with a laugh, "No, no, Boss Fan is too kind. Fourth Boss is just like an ox, a snake, or a god in the countryside, unable to enter Boss Fan's eyes. I didn't know Boss Fan was visiting, so what's the need for Fourth Boss to help!" "If it's Fourth Bro's ability, I'll definitely do my best."
Boss Fan laughed and said, "Immortal Zhou is too courteous. Fan Jian did come this time to ask for a small favor. I believe with Fourth Uncle's ability, there will definitely be no problem."
Zhou Ol 'Four said with some difficulty, "Since Boss Fan has asked for it, I should have refused it. It's just that something has happened at home recently, and I can't leave my body. What a headache."
After saying that, he gave Zhou Feng a meaningful glance. Zhou Feng nodded his head and said, "Boss Fan is indeed like that. You can't get out of this busy season, otherwise the annual harvest will be ruined."
Old Zhou gave Zhou Feng a fierce glare. Boss Fan gave Zhou Feng a grateful look and snapped his fingers. Lu Fengxian tactfully took out a bag filled with money and placed it in front of Zhou Feng.
Zhou Ol 'Four glanced at his bulging purse and pretended not to know what was going on. "Boss Fan, what's the meaning of this?"
Fan Jian said, "Since Fourth Uncle's farming work was delayed, I really deserve to die a thousand times for my crimes. This one hundred thousand is just a small token of my appreciation, so I hope that Fourth Uncle will not take offense."
Seeing the stack of red hundred-dollar bills, Zhou Feng's heart immediately jumped. A voice that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was shouting in his mind. He knew that this was the desire in his heart. As long as Fourth Elder Zhou agreed, there would be at least two piles inside.
"Hurry up and accept it!" At this time, he really hoped that there would be a ghost or god who would be able to send a message and let Old Zhou understand his intentions.
Zhou Lao Si thought for a moment and moved the purse towards Fan Jian. He sighed and said, "Boss Fan is too courteous, to be honest, the ones who dare to do this are charging first, then making a move later on, even if you make a move, you might not be able to survive."
Fan Jian laughed heartily and pushed the purse back to Fan Xian. He stretched out two fingers and said, "I might not know the rules, but I don't care about this amount of money. If I can't make it, then I'll be making a friend out of fourth uncle."
"Alright then. I'll prepare a bit. Come pick me up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning!" Zhou Ol 'Four sighed again.
After sending Fan Jian and his gang off, Zhou Lao Si turned around and scolded Zhou Feng for no other reason. This brat clearly knew that he did not want to take on this job, so he openly made excuses for him by using farm work. How much money could he spare on this acre of land? He had thought that the university student was just stupid from reading and did not understand society. However, from his red eyes, he knew that this brat had viciously set him up.
As for the matter that Fan Jian had requested, although it was currently unclear, it was likely not that easy and he might not be able to resolve it. Fortunately, this matter was caused by that boy Zhou Feng, and he would not be able to stand by and do nothing.
With that in mind, the fourth elder calmed down.
Zhou Feng also took advantage of this period of time to return home, and explained the matter of him going to the city to prevent his parents from worrying.
When Zhou Feng's mother heard that Zhou Feng wanted to do something in the city, although she knew that she wouldn't stay for long, she still warned him a thousand times. It was as if Zhou Feng wasn't going to do something in the city, but was instead going to repair the turret for the devils. This was probably what all parents in the world thought.
When Zhou Feng's father heard this, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Child, did you ever think of being with your fourth uncle? Money comes with money, but in the end, it's not a long-term solution. It also fails to live up to what you have learned."
He couldn't help but feel sad. He was, after all, a prestigious university student, and now he had to rely on playing tricks on others to earn a living. Such a strong contrast was something that no one else would know.
Zhou Feng's mother also sighed and said, "The father of the child is the way of life. This is the way of life. What can we do about it?"
Zhou Feng's father said, "This time." Zhou Feng and Fourth Bro went to help that Fan Jian. If you do it beautifully, others will naturally appreciate you, so it should be possible to ask him to do a job at that time! "
When Zhou Feng's mother heard this, she said in agreement, "Dad's still the one with the best knowledge. Feng, you have to work hard. This is a good opportunity."
Zhou Feng didn't expect them to say this. His mind was a little messy, so he numbly nodded his head.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Feng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The dream of the first day had unexpectedly surfaced in front of his eyes. That pure lotus like girl, that strange fox head, as well as the light from the cinnabar on the little girl's forehead, had rushed over one by one, causing the atheism that he had persisted in for countless years to finally begin to waver.
He turned his body over and took out the red notes that Zhou Ol'fourth had given him. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be real. Or rather, it could be said to be true from the very start. No matter how one looked at it, it couldn't be faked. The gods might not be able to prove their existence, but the red notes were undeniably real.
"Maybe ghosts and gods really do exist!" Zhou Feng said to himself, "Tomorrow is a big day of business. Zhou Feng, you have to do your best."
He had originally wanted to encourage himself to be full of energy and fight alongside Zhou Ol 'Four tomorrow, but he didn't expect this suggestion to be that important. He immediately thought of Fan Jian handing him a pile of red notes, those were all money, the total amount of money he earned after graduation was not that much. When he thought that the money would fall into his pocket, his excitement offset the fatigue from working so hard for many days.
As long as a person could not sleep, they would let their imagination run wild. His parents' suggestions also entered his mind smoothly like a white-clothed girl.
"I never thought that Fan Jian would be so rich!" Look at that damn fatty and Lü, both of them were doing pretty well together with him! "It might be a good idea to follow him." Zhou Feng said with some envy.
"TOBEORNOTTOBE, this is really a problem. I never thought that I, Zhou Feng, would have the chance to make this choice. My head hurts, but it feels so good." Zhou Feng said shamelessly. Even though Fan Jian didn't know about this, he had already chosen to go up.
A faint white light gradually appeared in the dark sky like mist or smoke. It seemed like Zhou Feng's future wasn't bright, but in the end, there was still a bit of hope, but these hopes were as thin as mist or smoke. Even so, it was enough to make Zhou Feng wild with joy, since he didn't have the qualifications to call out that his father was Li Gang.
Zhou Feng washed his face and tidied up his appearance. Mrs Zhou had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast, and seeing her nervous appearance, it was as if she was sending a child to the college entrance exam. Naturally, she would remind Zhou Feng to perform well.
Zhou Feng quickly finished the porridge in his hand, wiped his mouth, and then hurriedly went to the Zhou family's fourth elder's house.
Seeing his flustered look, Zhou Ol 'Four said in amusement, "What is there to be afraid of? What is there to be afraid of?" As he spoke, he handed Zhou Feng a small bundle and indicated for him to open it.
Zhou Feng curiously opened his small bag and placed a newly made robe neatly inside.
"Let's try it on and see if it fits." Zhou Lao Si said.
To be honest, wearing this daoist robe on Zhou Feng's body gave him a very saintly feeling. Zhou Feng was also satisfied and walked around the room a few times. He couldn't help but proudly say, "Fourth uncle, I didn't think that I, Zhou Feng, would wear a robe. Haha, I heard that robes are used to ward off evil. Is this true?"
Zhou Ol 'Four smiled and said, "It's only a piece of clothing. Why is it so strange?"
Zhou Feng curiously said, "Didn't you also wear the daoist robe last time when you helped that little girl call her soul?"
After looking up and down at Zhou Feng's clothes, Zhou Lao Si helped him tug at his collar, supporting his clothes at the back before nodding in satisfaction, and said: "Workers have uniforms, soldiers have uniforms, and robes are just our work clothes. It doesn't matter whether we wear them or not, it still depends on individual abilities."
Zhou Feng didn't expect the miraculous daoist robe to be like this, and couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. He was looking at his daoist robe; it was new now, but he didn't want to be so arrogant just now.
Seeing Zhou Feng's disappointed look, Old Zhou couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and softly say: "Actually it's not as bad as I thought. Even though it can't help you kill demons, if you wear it, others will recognize you as a master of the dao. If you don't, others will treat you as a warlock. This is still very important to us. "
Zhou Feng's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Fourth Uncle, you mean to say, if we put on the daoist robe, we can ruthlessly kill that Fan Jian."
Four Zhou raised his hand and smacked him on the head, saying unhappily, "Little bastard, I think you're just asking for money. I already said that in our line of work, we can't take a single cent less, but we can't take a single cent less. "As a person, not only do you have to be kind, but you also have to have principles."
Zhou Feng smiled in embarrassment, but in his heart, he was unconvinced. Even if there really was a god or demon, it would not be good for them to use the Chinese currency.
Zhou Ol 'Four was also from the past, and naturally understood what a new entrant like Zhou Feng was thinking. He couldn't help but want to remind him a few more times, but then he thought better of it.
After packing up for a while, the ear-piercing sound of a Land Rover came from outside. The little fatty, Zhuang Chan, got off the car to greet the two of them before inviting them onto the car.
After getting on the car, Zhou Feng couldn't help but be curious. He looked to the west, touched east, and felt good cars in the magazine; however, this was the first time he had seen one. It was hard to not be excited. Remembering how he smacked a brick over there yesterday, he could not help but taunt, "Brother Zhou, you have never seen such a good car before, right? When you get to Boss Fan's place, I'll tell you to clean your car properly. Didn't a guy named Einstein say that you couldn't fully understand your car without properly cleaning it? I believe that after you wash your car, you will be familiar with the performance of our Land Rover. "
"Really! "Thank you so much. When we arrive at the station later, I will need to wash the car properly!" This guy actually thought he was a country bumpkin with no culture at all, and wanted him to wash the car for free. That's good, then this young master will help you wash the car, and after you wash the car, then I'll let you know for sure that this young master's university diploma is in the right place.
There was naturally no reason for the carving to not agree. As he imagined Zhou Feng washing his car, he couldn't help but hum a song to himself. Even the Land Rover had become a lot faster.
Old Zhou knew that Zhou Feng wouldn't honestly help him wash the car, so he couldn't help but frown. He lightly touched Zhou Feng and whispered into his ear: "Boy, don't go overboard."
Seeing that he did not try to stop him, Zhou Feng quickly said: "Fourth Uncle, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
