The storyteller who walks the rivers and lakes

Chapter 20 Black Mountain Mining Area
The Heishan mining area is located in the Heishan Mountains, more than 100 miles east of Guangning City.It is one of the important assets for the Lu family to gain a foothold in Guangning City.

Of course, although the status of the Black Mountain mining area is very important, it is not a good choice for Lu Fei to be the master of the mining area.

Firstly, the mining area is located in the deep mountains, far away from the family. Although there are many guards stationed there, accidents happen every year.

Especially in this primitive mining environment, the personal safety of miners is not guaranteed at all, so ordinary people are not willing to work in mines at all.

But the production of the mine cannot be affected, so the Lu family can only buy some slaves with money in the end, or even buy some criminals from the government to replace workers to mine.

but……

Many of those slaves were captured by some family forces when they were eradicating hostile forces, and then sold as slaves.

And those criminals are also some vicious and vicious people, which has caused these bought slaves and criminals to be rebellious and unruly murderers, and riots will occur if they are not careful...

So in general, most of the principals in the mining area will be managed by some old family members with good strength and prudence.

Previously, the head of the Lu family in the Heishan mining area was an elder of the family, who had the strength in the late stage of Tongmai state, and there was another manager Liu Qing who was in charge of daily affairs, and was jointly responsible for the management of the mining area.

It's just that seven days ago, the family elder in charge of the mining area was getting old, so Lu Hai recruited him back, and planned to let him take care of the family well.

But because he couldn't find a good successor for a while, he has been shelving the candidate for the head for such a long time.

Steward Fu looked at Lu Hai and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, Liu Qing has always been in charge of the Heishan mining area. Although he is capable of doing things, he has a narrow personality and is selfish, insidious and cunning. Da Furen's clan brother sent him to the mining area just now... Now send the Fourth Young Master there, I am afraid that the Fourth Young Master will not be able to suppress him and will suffer a loss."

Lu Hai's face was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph! If he can't even suppress a servant, then he is not qualified to be a descendant of the Lu family!"

Seeing Lu Hai who had sat down at the desk again, Butler Fu could only sigh and shook his head, then left the study silently.

……

Lu Fei, who left the study of the head of the family, first went to the pharmacy under the leadership of Steward Fu to receive the two years of cultivation resources that Lu Hai compensated for himself.

After returning to the small courtyard assigned to him, Lu Fei took out all the pills he received from the pharmacy.Among them, one bottle of Body Tempering Pill is given every month, which should be 24 bottles in two years.But this time Steward Fu asked the steward of the pharmacy to bring him thirty bottles.

There are also blood coagulation pills, three pills per month, so there are 72 pills in two years, ten pills per bottle, this time Lu Fei also directly received eight bottles of blood coagulation pills.

Looking at the pills on the table, Lu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"At least for a period of time in the future, you don't have to worry about the pills you cultivate."

You know, during the month of practicing in the mountains, he spent thousands of dollars to buy only two bottles of Body Tempering Pill!

Three days later, I will go to that black mountain mining area, and I don't know what's going on there, so it's useless to think about it.Therefore, Lu Fei didn't think about it so much, and just use these three days to practice hard and forget it.

In the evening, the second wife Fang Luoyun and Lu Xueer both came back from Fang's house, because Fang Luoyun said before that he would help Lu Fei clean up the dust, so after practicing all afternoon, Lu Fei went directly to the next door during dinner time Lu Xueer's courtyard.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he saw Fang Yuting who had just left during the day...

"Fourth Brother!"

After seeing Lu Fei, Lu Xueer ran over with surprise on her face, took his hand directly, and looked around carefully.

Curiously said: "I haven't seen you for two years, fourth brother, you have changed so much! I didn't believe it when Sister Ting said it before, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Fang Yuting also walked over slowly with her arms folded at this time, and said angrily, "Huh! I didn't lie to you, did I? The little girl doesn't even believe what my sister says!"

Seeing this, Lu Xueer ran over quickly, hugged Fang Yuting's waist, and said with a coquettish smile: "Is there anyone who doesn't believe Sister Ting, it's just that the fourth brother you said has changed too much from before. I just didn't react."

Looking at the two sisters laughing together, it made Lu Fei next to him feel pleasing to the eye.

To be honest, although the former Lu Fei was also with these two girls, but because the kid was not taken seriously at that time, his personality was a little distorted, and he usually always looked bitter and bitter, so Lu Xueer didn't like it. Don't worry, Fang Yuting, the eldest lady of the Fang family, doesn't like him at all.

But now, maybe it was Lu Fei who gave Fang Yuting too much shock when he first appeared on the stage, so during the dinner, this young lady always secretly looked at him from time to time.

This was discovered by the sensitive Lu Fei, but he didn't say anything.

It's just a girl's curiosity, and he won't narcissistically think that the other party is interested in him just like that...

From time to time, Lu Xueer asked Lu Fei about his life in the past two years, and why he had changed so much.

In this regard, Lu Fei did not directly tell her a story as he did when Fang Yuting was in the caravan.

Anyway, his two years in Anping City can only be mediocre, and the most glorious time for him may be the time when he passed the college entrance examination before.

But shortly after that, he was expelled from the academy for some reason, and finally had to live in Yaoyue Building as a storyteller.

These things also made Fang Luoyun's mother and daughter and Fang Yuting sigh.

But now Lu Fei has returned to the family, and Lu Hai, the head of the family, has agreed that he has the qualification to receive family resources again, which means that he has accepted him.

Although it was temporary, it was much better than the state of being on the verge of being expelled in the previous two years!
After the feast was over, Fang Luoyun returned to the backyard, only Lu Fei, Lu Xueer and Fang Yuting were left.

Lu Fei, who was going back to practice, was held back by Fang Yuting, insisting on letting her continue telling the story of Yitian Tulongji...

Lu Fei said helplessly: "I said Miss, don't you look at what time it is now, shouldn't you go back to Fang's house?"

"No. I already told my father when I came here that today I will sleep with Xue'er!"

"Hmph, don't even think about running away. I've already told Xue'er that you're going to finish the whole story today, and what about Zhang Wuji, did you end up with my sister Zhiruo, or did you end up with me?" Together with Zhao Min, that enchantress!"

Lu Xueer, who was next to her, also chimed in: "Yes, yes, fourth brother, why don't you just tell us... I heard her talking nonsense at my cousin's house before, and I almost died of anxiety!"

"Ah, you little heartless person, you actually say that about my cousin!"

Looking at the two sisters hugging each other and staring at him with burning eyes, Lu Fei really couldn't say no to it, and finally he could only tell the next story of Yitian Tulongji again...
