Chapter 640 Lai Baifan

The young man lay in the snow, slowly opened his eyes, and whispered softly: "My hand hurts, it hurts."

Li Banfeng returned his hand to the young man: "Here is your hand. If it hurts, just rub it."

The left shoulder was empty, and the young man cried: "Who are you?"

"Businessman, I'm here to do business with you. I'll give you a big deposit first. What do you think?" Li Banfeng took out a silver dollar.

The young man shivered when he saw blood stains on the silver dollar.

Li Banfeng wiped away the blood: "My sister was putting on lipstick just now and accidentally got a little bit on it. Please accept the money first and let's talk about where to go next."

The young man cried: "Where are you taking me?"

Bulb smiled and said: "What do you say? Aren't we all going to follow you? Where are you taking us?"

The young man sobbed for a long time and said: "There is a quarry ahead. You work sincerely. As long as you are sincere, you can do serious physical training. The more sincere you are, the better you will be."

Tang Yuan asked: "How do you call Luo Hao Hao?"

"If you are 100% sincere, you can become decent creatures such as cows, horses, chickens and ducks. If you are only 60% sincere, you will have to become despicable things like spiders and ants."

Bulb asked: "What if it changes into a three-headed man?"

The young man shook his head and said: "This quarry is run by the Patriarch of Physical Culture. As long as you work sincerely under the Patriarch, you will definitely not become a three-headed man. Those who become three-headed men are all dishonest! "

Bulb said to Li Qi: "Master Qi, you can make a profit without losing any money. This is how you do business."

Li Banfeng asked the young man again: "If you send someone to the quarry, how much will the master of physical cultivation give you?"

"One person is eighty."

Tang Yuan said angrily: "You only paid eighty yuan and you sold him?"

Bulb said: "This person was not found by him, but by the old lady. He doesn't need to do the rest of the work. Just leave it all to the quarry. He will lead this section of the road. It's more than eighty years old."

Moreover, he also charged us a piece of ocean. This is also a good business for both parties to make money, but today’s order,

He really lost his money. "

Li Banfeng left the young man in the snow, and he took the glutinous rice balls and light bulbs to the quarry.

The quarry is very large, with more than 300 workers quarrying stones at the foot of Carrot Mountain.

These stones are not used to build houses. The skylight in Luobo Mountain is not very dense, but after all, it is the boundary of Sanzucha. The mountain is illuminated by the sky for many years. The stones are collected and ground into powder. After drinking, you can earn karma. .

The medicinal materials used to praise Daoyuan were not cheap. In Yaowanggou, Li Banfeng had heard that some families spent all their money just to cultivate Daoyuan in order to cultivate a cultivator.

Li Banfeng looked up at the quarry. What was being mined here was not stone, but gold!

These workers are free of charge, and I don’t know who they rented this hillside from. This is really a hugely profitable business.

It’s strange, why are there still three-headed people working here?

As far as physical cultivation is concerned, growing two more heads means failure in getting started. If you have already failed, what work can you do for the master?

A three-headed man was walking down the hillside carrying a stone. The stone had many edges and corners, and the shoulders of the three-headed man were covered in bloodstains.

Seeing the difficulty of the three-headed man wandering around, Tangyuan frowned.

There are mountain trails on the hillside, so if you have a wheelbarrow, this job won't be so painful.

The three-headed men had just carried the stone to the bottom of the hillside. An overseer, holding a leather whip, went up and whipped it twice: "How long do you want to wait? Haven't you eaten? Start running!"

The whip was as thick as two fingers. The three-headed man's clothes were thin. When the whip went down, his clothes and skin were torn.

Carrying the stone, the three-headed man stumbled forward. The supervisor was behind with a whip: "I told you to run, don't you understand? Why are you not convinced? I tell you, if you don't want to do it, just get out, there are many people waiting for you." Come!"

The three people watched silently from a distance, Tangyuan gritted his teeth, Bulb had an expressionless face, and Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat so that others could not see his face.

The supervisor came over, looked at the three of them, and asked, "What do you do?"

Li Banfeng smiled naively: "I'm going to see the Patriarch of Physical Cultivation and ask for some medicinal powder for getting started."

This supervisor's name is Ge Yugen, and others call him Ge Tou. He is a person of some status in this quarry.

He saw that Li Banfeng's hat was good, and he reached out to pick it off. Li Banfeng moved slightly and looked unhappy, but Ge Yugen couldn't reach it.

"What are you hiding from?" Ge Yugen got angry, "Can't I see your hat?"

Li Banfeng once again explained his purpose of coming: "I'm here to see the Patriarch of Physical Culture."

"With your attitude, what else do you want to see the Patriarch? Anyone who sincerely comes to see the Patriarch wouldn't put their wealth and life here? I want you to have a hat, but you dodge, and with your little vision, you still want to enter the Taoist sect?"

While talking, Ge Yugen came to pick off Li Banfeng's hat again. He picked it off several times, but still couldn't reach it.

Ge Yugen became anxious, kicked the ground, and jumped up. Judging from the jumping posture, he should be a grasshopper.

This time he jumped more than two meters high. Ge Yugen flew over Li Banfeng's head, lowering his head and trying to take off his hat.

He stretched out his hand several times in the air, but he couldn't pick it up. After landing, the light bulb sprinkled some oil on the ground. Ge Yugen lost his footing and fell directly into the snowdrift.

"Ouch!" Ge Yugen was anxious, "Here comes someone! Something is happening here!"

There were more than fifty supervisors in the quarry, and more than thirty of them came over carrying guys: "What's wrong, Ge Tou?"

Ge Yugen pointed at the three people and shouted: "These three people, under the guise of worshiping the ancestors, talked dirty to me and even touched me!"

The workers in the quarry were stunned. Who was so bold as to dare to touch Ge Tou?

A few workers wanted to watch the excitement, but were whipped several times by the supervisor beside them: "What are you looking at? Are you done with the work? Do you still want to see the ancestor? Do you still want to enter the Taoist sect? Do you still want to eat tonight?"

Ge Yugen grabbed the whip and hit Li Banfeng: "I've blinded you, you dare to come here and cause trouble. Grandmaster is not here today, I will teach you the rules for Grandmaster!"

This man was so confident. He knew that Li Banfeng was very skilled, but he was not afraid at all.

After several whips failed, Ge Yugen said to the crowd: "Go ahead, beat him to death. I will bear him if he is beaten to death."

If you let them walk out of the quarry in good condition today, I, Ge Yugen, will crawl around in front of you from now on! "

Everyone in the quarry admired him. Although Ge Tou was usually ruthless, he was also really tough when he needed to be tough.

A group of people rushed to besiege Li Banfeng, but Li Banfeng was too lazy to take action. With Ge Yugen's strength, how much better could the others be?

Tang Yuan used the skill of "Shu Mo Xun Xing" to call out a piece of text to knock down these supervisors first.

After falling to the ground, it was difficult to stand up again. The light bulbs spilled oil all over the floor, and dozens of people kicked them off.

Rolling all over the floor.

They couldn't stand up, but the light bulb could stand firmly on the oil. He held the knife to bleed one by one, and the glutinous rice balls were there to help. The words were hovering in the air and would not be affected by the oil and water on the ground.

Looking at these supervisors, they all have some cultivation, but most of them are on the first floor. In front of the glutinous rice balls on the fifth floor and the light bulbs on the third floor, they have no power to fight back.

In less than two minutes, a group of people were so impressed by the light bulbs and glutinous rice balls that they lay on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Bulb walked up to Ge Yugen and asked, "Who said you had to crawl away just now?"

Ge Yugen's face turned pale, but he did not relent: "If you have the ability, don't leave. When our boss comes, we will skin you all alive!"

Li Banfeng looked at Ge Yugen and said, "Who is your big shopkeeper? Is he the ancestor?"

Ge Yugen shook his head: "Master Patriarch is usually not here. We are all the bosses of the big shop. I will go to him now. If you admit it, apologize to me now. This matter will be over. If you don't give in, we will be in trouble." If the shopkeeper really comes, don’t regret it!”

Li Banfeng and Ge Yugen discussed it: "Otherwise, you ask someone else to find the big shopkeeper, and you take us around here."

Ge Yugen pursed his lips: "Only I can invite the big shopkeeper here, no one else can!"

A group of supervisors volunteered: "We can do it. We can all call the big shopkeeper."

This group of people really didn’t want to be beaten again.

"Don't listen to them——" Before Ge Yugen could finish speaking, he was pinned to the ground by Bulb, and a rope was tied around his neck to hold him down.

Bulb put Ge Yugen on the ground with his foot: "Let's go, take us around first."

Ge Yugen lay on the ground, still not convinced: "I advise you again, it's still too late to leave now."

Bulb held up the whip and whipped Ge Yugen a few times: "You talk so much, walk faster!"

Ge Yugen gritted his teeth and walked forward, walked to the hillside, and secretly glanced back at the light bulb.

Boy, just wait.

When the big shopkeeper comes, I will cut off your tongue first, and then chop your hands into pieces.

It’s fine if you don’t chop him up. This kid is quite handsome. When the time comes, I’ll give him to the big shopkeeper——

Snap!

Two whiplashes interrupted Ge Yugen's fantasy.

Bulb grabbed the whip and shouted: "Have you not eaten? Run!"

Ge Yugen took the three people around the quarry, and Li Banfeng saw many three-headed people working here.

He found one of them and asked, "What are you doing here? Are you waiting for the medicine powder to get started?"

The three heads of the three-headed man nodded together, and the middle head said: "The ancestor said that our chance is not over yet. As long as we are sincere, we still have a chance to enter the Taoist sect."

If you become a three-headed person, you will not be able to achieve physical cultivation. Everyone in Puzhou knows this clearly.

But this three-headed man still held on to his last illusion. He would rather endure hardship here. He also hoped that he could become a serious body cultivator.

Do the other three heads think so? No one can figure it out?

There are not many people who can figure it out. There are many three-headed people who know that they will never enter the Taoist sect in this life, but where else can they go? Unless he takes the initiative to go to the Sinner City and be a prisoner for the rest of his life, the three-headed man will not be welcomed anywhere.

Bulb led Ge Yugen down the hillside and was whipped along the way. Ge Yugen gave in and Li Banfeng asked what he said.

He said that their big shop owner is called Tie Balzi and he is a well-known figure in San Toucha.

Li Banfeng felt that Ge Yugen was telling the truth, Iron Baldy, this name immediately resonated with him.

"What is the relationship between Iron Bald and the Patriarch of Physical Culture?"

"Our boss is a disciple of the ancestor, and our boss takes care of the business of the ancestor in Luobo Mountain."

It seems that this patriarch has more than one business.

Bulb planned to go to where the workers lived, but suddenly he saw that all the workers on the mountain were picking up their weapons and working hard, and no one dared to watch the fun.

Their bodies were shaking, shaking uncontrollably.

The supervisors who were lying on the ground were gearing up one by one and became energetic.

Bulb looked into the distance and saw the big shopkeeper Tie Baldy leading about thirty people into the quarry.

The iron bald man was indeed a bald man, and his bald head was particularly bright in the snow. He looked at Ge Yugen who was being led, and then at the light bulb: "I don't walk blindly with a lantern, and I don't look at whose house I enter." ”

Lan Duan'er didn't know how to answer. Looking at the man opposite him, Lan Duan clasped his fists and saluted him.

The iron bald man glared: "Who the hell are you scolding?"

Bulb looked back at Li Banfeng. He didn't understand how a salute with fists clasped in his hands could be considered a curse.

Li Banfeng said: "This person should have been a bandit. In some places, bandits are taboo against holding their fists. The way they hold their fists looks like they are wearing gloves. It is unlucky in their profession. This kind of old rule is no longer common in Puluo Prefecture. ”

It is indeed rare. This old custom was learned by Li Banfeng when he was studying in Moxiang shop. The customs of San Toucha are not only very different from those in other states, but also quite different from other places in Puozhou.

The iron bald man smiled and said to Li Banfeng: "An expert in coding? Are you the one who made those two garrulous agents on the side of the road?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I did it. Can you stop speaking foreign languages?"

The iron bald man lowered his face and said, "You report to me first."

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Is it okay if I don't retaliate?"

"You come here to stir up trouble and talk so arrogantly. Please let my men go first."

Li Banfeng's smile did not change: "Can't I just let you go?"

The iron bald man said: "You don't understand people's words anymore. I'll give you two options now. One is to let me go and kneel on the ground and kowtow a hundred times. You take this big girl away. I don't want her." Leave this juicy boy to me and let this matter be over."

Bulb 1 looked at the glutinous rice balls and asked, "Why do you have to keep me?"

"Look at what I do, I don't know!" Tang Yuan didn't know why he was angry.

The iron bald man added: "The second way is, I will skin you three and hang them at the entrance of the quarry as a cover. You can choose for yourself."

Li Banfeng asked: "What about the third way?"

Tie Baldy pointed at Li Banfeng and said, "There is no third rule."

Li Banfeng took the iron bald man's index finger and asked, "Think about it more carefully."

The iron bald man saw that one of his fingers was missing and trembled in fright: "You, what are you——"

"I ask you how to take the third way?" Li Banfeng took Iron Bald Man's ears and threw them in the snow.

The bald man had a touch of his sideburns and no ears.

Just as he was about to call for help, he opened his mouth and spurted out a large bubble of blood.

The blood blisters did not come out of the mouth, but from the nostrils.

Li Banfeng took Iron Baldy's nose and threw it into the snow.

The iron bald man cried out loudly and peed his pants in fear.

Not only was he so frightened that he peed, but all the more than a hundred supervisors lying on the ground were so frightened that the workers in the quarry also peed a lot.

This is Tie Baldy, a disciple of the founder of physical cultivation.

In their eyes, this man's status was equivalent to Lu Dongliang's status in Green Water City back then.

Now the man in the black suit didn't know what method he used to cut off the bald man's ears and nose.

Is this true?

This is obviously a dream!

The iron bald man was still crying and howling. Li Banfeng came closer and touched his head: "I will point out the third way to you. You go lie down next to him and put the rope around your neck. Let my brother hold it." ”

The iron bald man was so obedient that he took a rope, tied it around his neck, and squatted down next to Ge Yugen.

Seeing the iron bald man's appearance, Ge Yugen lost all hope and obediently squatted next to the light bulb.

The other supervisors did not dare to speak, and the people brought by Iron Baldy were also frightened.

Li Banfeng looked at the person behind Tie Baldy and asked, "Which of you knows where the Patriarch is? Please send me an invitation!"

A group of people raised their hands one after another, saying that they knew that as long as they could leave this place, they would do anything.

Li Banfeng actually wrote an invitation and asked Tie Baldy: "Which of them can do things reliably?"

The iron bald man remained silent.

Li Banfeng touched his bald head: "If I wait until tomorrow and I still can't see your ancestor, your head will be gone."

The iron bald man chose a middle-aged man in his forties: "This man has been with me for more than 20 years. We are really in love."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "More love is not enough, can we invite people here in one day?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Don't hurt our leader. I'll risk my life to bring our ancestor."

The relationship is quite deep, no wonder Iron Baldy fell in love with the light bulb.

After the words fell, the middle-aged man stretched out his hands, kicked his feet, turned into four hooves, and lay on the ground.

He shook his neck, flicked his ears, and shouted: "Yeah~"

The middle-aged man ran away.

It turned out to be a donkey.

Bulb led Tie Baldzi and Ge Yugen, led Li Banfeng to find the accountant, took out the roster and account books, and paid wages to the workers present.

These workers in the quarry have worked for a few days at the shortest and more than ten years at the longest, and have never been paid once. Such a new thing happened today, which really frightened them.

Li Banfeng asked Deng Duan to tell everyone that he didn't care about any rules in the past. From today on, if he works here for a day, he will receive a day's money. As long as he collects enough stones, he will get fifty Huan Guo banknotes every day.

The workers' eyes widened. Fifty yuan a day?

The supervisors nearby were all frightened. This was San Toucha. These supervisors only had 200 Huan national notes a month.

Li Banfeng set the rules and distributed the money.

The iron bald man sneered and said nothing.

The accountant wanted to ask for favors, so he came close to Li Banfeng and said in a low voice: "Sir, if you do this, this business can't continue."

Li Banfeng asked: "What do you mean?"

"There are about 300 people here, and you only pay 15,000 yuan a day, 450,000 yuan a month, and 5 million yuan a year. How much can this stone quarry earn in total?"

Li Banfeng picked up a stone and weighed it: "These are all medicinal materials for beginners. The money earned from collecting stones here for a month is enough to pay the workers' wages."

The accountant shook his head and said: "What you said is the price outside. If you do business in Santoucha, you have to follow the rules of Santoucha.

There is a saying in other states that Santoucha does not allow business. If the stone quarry wants to open, it must first give a copy to the customs envoy. If you want to ship the stones after breaking them, you must also You have to give another copy to the Guanfangshi. If you pay less, I will close your business tomorrow!

These stones can only be shipped to designated buyers. The price is very low. Moreover, this is the business under the name of the ancestor. The bulk of the money must be given to the ancestor. If the remaining money is all paid for wages, you will have no profit, and we will have no hope.

These people are here to ask for medicine powder. They sincerely follow the ancestor and don’t ask for wages. It’s not that we are cruel and don’t give them, but this business——.”

“This business needs to be changed,” Li Banfeng checked the account books one by one, “This business will belong to me in the future. I won’t give the Guanfangshi’s money, and I won’t give the ancestor’s money. I can find whoever I want to ship the goods to. If anyone is dissatisfied, come to me to judge.”

That night, Dengbao and Tangyuan each got a wooden house and slept well.

Li Banfeng called the supervisors together and asked some business matters.

Business in Santoucha is not easy to do. What the accountant said is true. There are all kinds of rules, and they all want real money.

Li Banfeng has the legal right to operate in Santoucha, which is unique in Prosperity. He contacted Ma Wu with a simple phone: "Old Five, how is the business in Santoucha going?"

"Old Seven, the business here is impossible to do. There are too many complicated relationships, too many local snakes, and too many troubles.

After you come back, we will discuss it slowly."

No wonder the business in Santoucha has been delayed. Even a business expert like Ma Wu is not good at intervening here.

The next day, the workers got up early and went to work in the quarry.

More than 200 of the more than 300 workers ran away, leaving more than 100 people.

These escaped workers are divided into two categories. One category is smart people who know they have been fooled and don't want to stay here to work.

The other category is stupid people, hopelessly stupid people. They are still waiting for the ancestors to give them medicine powder. Now the quarry has changed. They are afraid of being implicated and go out to hide for a while.

The remaining one hundred people were quite enthusiastic about the work. Without the supervisor, they worked hard.

They transported the stones they had cut to the foot of the mountain and put them in a pile, preparing to let the new boss see in the evening whether today's work was worth the wages.

Bulb came over and took a look, roughly calculating the workload of everyone. There was a pile of stones with a lot of stones. He wanted to see who did this work, but he saw that all the workers suddenly knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the ground, and their bodies did not move.

Someone came to the quarry, an old man, who looked about 1.6 meters tall and weighed about 250 to 260 kilograms. His body was round and his face was dotted with pits.

Looking at his walking posture, he was very outward-facing, step by step, and kicked his legs hard.

This was obviously a body cultivator who could transform into a clam. It was hard to determine whether he was a body cultivator of transformation or a body cultivator of transformation.

Seeing how respectful these people were, Bulb could naturally guess that this person must be the ancestor of body cultivators.

The old man was followed by twelve followers, tall, short, fat and thin, with different body shapes.

Dengbao looked at the old man, and the old man also noticed Dengbao. There were so many people on the hillside, but Dengbao was the only one who didn't kneel down.

The old man looked at Dengbao and smiled, "Please tell your master that Lai Baifan came to see him."

Dengbao hurried to find Li Banfeng, who was already standing outside the wooden house.

He asked Dengbao and Tangyuan to find a place to hide: "If the situation is not right, you two should leave quickly."

"Seventh Master, what about you?"

"Don't worry about me. Santoucha is the territory of physical cultivation. The ancestor of physical cultivation is here, and I may not be able to take advantage of it. What's more, he has brought many masters with him. When I get away, you two must not become a burden to me."

Dengbao and Tangyuan quickly hid. Li Banfeng stood at the door for a while, and Lai Baifan came closer.

This name is connected with his appearance. At this glance, this person is 99% likely to be a clam.

Li Banfeng greeted first: "Boss Lai, I don't know if it's appropriate to bow to you?"

Lai Baifan smiled, bowed and said: "The guest should follow the host's wishes. I am the guest and you are the host. I will listen to your etiquette."

Li Banfeng returned the greeting, invited Lai Baifan into the house, poured tea, exchanged a few polite words, and the host and the guest sat down.

Lai Baifan took the teacup, looked at Li Banfeng for a moment, lowered his voice and asked: "If I'm not mistaken, you are Li Qi, right?"

This ancestor is very knowledgeable. Santoucha is so closed-minded. He has never seen Li Banfeng, but he can recognize him by his appearance and clothes.

"It's me." Li Banfeng did not deny.

Two hums came from outside the window. Tie Tutou was still tied under the window. He finally waited for the ancestor to come and was waiting for the ancestor to save his life.

Lai Baifan cursed out the window: "You're such a shameful thing, and you still have the nerve to scream. Do you know who you've offended? You should poke those eyes out and stomp them to pieces."

The iron bald man didn't dare to say anything.

Lai Baifan said with a smile: "Brother Li Qi, why did you suddenly come to this stone field and cause this fight? Is it because I have offended you before?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "We have never met each other, so how can we offend you? I am interested in the quarry business and want to discuss with Boss Lai. Can you give me the quarry?"

Lai Bai sighed: "This business is not easy to do."

"Business is business. I really want this stone quarry. You should make a price first."

Lai Baifan shook his head: "I am an elder after all. I am talking about money to a young man like you, but people laugh at me."

Li Banfeng said: "Business is business, you don't have to be polite about this."

"There is more than just business between us, there is also a fate between us."

"Where does fate begin?"

Lai Baifan carefully recalled: "If you think about it carefully, it has been almost three years. At that time, when you first came to Puluozhou, Mrs. Ku told me that if she met Li Qi, she should take care of her. She said that Li Qi took her something,

You came by train, but you didn't get off at San Toucha. I wanted to take care of you, but I couldn't. "

Does this Lai Baifan have anything to do with Granny Ku?

But what he said sounds a bit strange...

Lai Baifan continued: "Later, the salesman also came to me and said that I have a brother named Li Qi and that I should take more care of him.

I must give the salesman some face, but if you don’t come to San Toucha, and I don’t go out usually, we still won’t meet each other.

Later I heard that you went to Elbow Mountain, but the salesman didn't tell me about this, and in the end we never met up there. "

The salesman also has a relationship with him?

Lai Baifan added: "There is also an expert who has not been out for many years. He also sent a message and asked me to take care of you. Who do you think this expert is?"

Who could this be?

City Lord Sun?

Not big-faced?

Ayi?

Li Banfeng listened carefully.

Lai Baifan lowered his voice and said: "This expert is -."

He opened his big mouth and swallowed Li Banfeng's head into his mouth.

His belly tightened, and he sucked Li Banfeng's entire body into his mouth and swallowed it.

This is the skill of food cultivation, the old glutton.
