Chu Er's carriage entered Lanyang Village, and Ma Wu personally welcomed him into Mengchun Garden.
They opened a bottle of red wine and drank a glass together. Chu Er handed the newspaper to Ma Junyang.
Lanyang Village is remote and the newspaper arrives late. Ma Wu was also surprised after reading the headlines.
"Lu Dongliang from Qianyue Tower is Lu Dongjun in disguise?" Ma Wu was a little skeptical. "Is this information reliable?"
"Never mind whether it's reliable or not. The Lu family is in chaos. Didn't you always want the Paramount? Now is a great opportunity."
Ma Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Even if there is a chance, I can't grab it. How can I afford it right now?"
"You don't have it, but I do. I'll pay, and you'll do the work. Let's buy the Paramount. Can you help me figure out what's the right price?"
When it comes to business matters, Ma Wu is more clear-headed than anyone else.
You pay and I do the work?
After all the effort, who owns the business?
Isn't it still your business?
All in all, you tricked me into doing hard labor for you.
Ma Wu was in no mood to help others, so he politely declined, "You really think highly of me. I'm exhausted from running a village, so how dare I get involved in such a big business?"
Chu Er lowered his chin slightly, rolled his eyes up, looked at Ma Wu and said, "Fifth Master, I sincerely invite you to join us."
You know what, she looks scary like this.
Ma Wu lit a cigarette to calm himself down: "Second Miss, I really feel that I am not good enough."
The room fell silent.
Wen Hongyan licked her forearm and prepared to use force.
This was the countermeasure she and Chu Er had discussed. If Ma Wu didn't obey, they would just use force.
Boom boom!
There was a knock on the door outside the private room.
Yang Yanzheng was stunned and glanced towards the door.
He sensed danger.
Ma Wu shouted, "Come in."
Zeng Jincheng and Cao Zhida pushed the door and entered the house with two bottles of wine and some dishes.
"Fifth Master, the food and wine you requested are ready. We saw that the waiter was nervous and trembling, and we were afraid that he might spill the food and wine, so we brought them in."
Ma Wu quickly held out his hands and said, "Thank you both, please sit down and eat together."
The two of them agreed happily, but neither of them sat down.
Ma Wu opened another bottle of wine and said to Chu Er, "Second Miss, shall we have another drink?"
Chu Er said with a sullen face: "Let's settle the matter first. It won't be too late to drink after that. Are you going with me or not?"
Ma Wu shook his head and said, "I really don't have that ability."
Wen Hongyan glared at him and said, "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Ma Wu, you have to leave today, whether you want to or not!"
"That's not what I meant!" Zuo Wugang walked in from outside. "As the saying goes, a guest should follow the host's wishes. Our Fifth Master is the host. It's not up to others to decide whether he wants to leave or not."
Seeing Zuo Wugang, Wen Hongyan immediately stood in front of Chu Er.
This is the reaction of people in the martial arts world when they see a strong person.
"Old Zuo, you changed your master so soon? You've embarrassed yourself enough in the Lu family, and now you come to the Ma family to make a fool of yourself?" Wen Hongyan said provocatively.
Zuo Wugang was not angry: "I am unlucky and have indeed lost my status in the Lu family, but Fifth Master doesn't despise me. I know this kindness. If anyone wants to touch Fifth Master, I will not agree."
Ma Wu advised: "Zuotou, it's not necessary. The Second Miss and I are just chatting. You sit here and have a drink first."
Zuo Wugang smiled and said, "Thank you, Fifth Master. I've been sitting all day and I'm tired. I just want to stretch my muscles."
He didn't sit down, but just stood happily beside Ma Wu.
This was a warning to Wen Hongyan and Yang Yanzheng that if they needed to take action, he would be ready to fight at any time.
Are you really going to fight?
There is a high probability that Wen Hongyan cannot defeat Zuo Wugang, and Zeng Jincheng and Cao Zhida can also hold back Yang Yanzheng.
This is Ma Wu's territory. If we continue to waste time, Chu Er will be the one who suffers.
Chu Er is a little crazy, but she is not stupid. She cannot take action in this place.
After a long stalemate, Chu Er's face turned pale. He stood up and called Wen Hongyan, "Let's go."
Everyone got on the carriage and left Lanyang Village. Ma Wu called Xiao Chuanzi and said, "Let's go to Lushui City and find out the news about the Lu family."
The next afternoon, Xiao Chuanzi came back and said, "Fifth Master, something really happened in the Lu family. Everything is in chaos. The old man of the Lu family, Lu Mao, beat Lu Dongjun first.
That night, Lu Dongjun took people to the train station and gave Monkey Qiu a beating. He also seized all of Monkey Qiu’s goods!
"All the goods were seized? What goods?" Ma Wu didn't expect the matter to become so serious.
"Food, food sent to Haichiling. Haichiling has suffered a disaster and there is famine. The Lu, Ma, He and Chu families all have a lot of businesses in Haichiling. They are afraid of trouble, so they all send food to Haichiling.
Lu Dongjun is crazy. Not only did he seize Monkey Qiu's food, he also seized the goods of several other families. He even dared to interfere in this matter!"
"A disaster struck Haichiling? Has this been reported in the newspaper?" Ma Wu felt that the incident came too suddenly. The autumn harvest had already passed. What disaster had struck Haichiling?
"It hasn't been reported in the newspapers yet, but I heard that the situation is very serious and many people have starved to death."
Ma Wu rubbed his forehead and murmured, "Chu Huaiyuan, if you still dare to have ideas about Paramount, you will stir up a hornet's nest."
…
In the He family mansion, He Yuxiu threw her shawl onto the sofa and cursed, "Lu Dongjun, that son of a bitch, how dare he detain our goods! I will squeeze out his egg yolks and feed them to the flies!"
Last night, Monkey Qiu went to the station to deliver goods and was blocked by Lu Dongjun at the door.
Lu Dongjun wanted to kill Monkey Qiu, but Monkey Qiu had left a retreat route at the station in advance. He was slightly injured and ran away.
For some unknown reason, Lu Dongjun detained all the goods that were about to be loaded onto the truck, including those from the Lu family, the He family, the Ma family, and the Chu family.
This batch of goods was food sent to Haichiling for disaster relief. It was a major event for the entire Pro Province, and Lu Dongjun actually took action in this matter.
"He is crazy, really crazy." The head of the He family, He Jiaqing's father, He Haiqin, sat on the sofa and shook his head. Even he couldn't figure out what Lu Dongjun was going to do.
He Yuxiu tidied up her clothes and said, "I don't care if he is crazy or stupid, I will burn his house down now!"
He Haiqin stopped He Yuxiu and said, "Sister, don't worry. We still don't know what's going on. I'll ask someone to investigate carefully. Lu Dongjun is not a smart man, but he's not stupid enough.
Even if he is not afraid of offending the big families, he should not offend people from other states. Why he caused trouble at the train station, this matter needs to be investigated clearly. "
…
That night, the entire Green Water City was in an uproar. The Ma family and the Chu family both prepared their men to find Lu Dongjun to seek an explanation.
Lu Dongjun was waiting for them in the mansion, but after two days of commotion, no one dared to come.
Why not come?
One reason is that Lu Dongjun is an eighth-level martial artist. As long as he is well prepared, ordinary people who enter his mansion will die.
The second reason is that there is another force that has not made any move, and the customs envoy has not made any statement.
Lu Dongjun robbed things at the train station. Part of the relief food was purchased by the customs envoy. What he did was tantamount to slapping the customs envoy in the face.
But the guard didn't react at all to this matter.
This made all the major families extremely confused, and even Monkey Qiu could not figure out Lu Dongjun's intention.
In the early morning, the reporter arrived at Lu Dongjun's residence, and Lu Dongjun calmly accepted the interview:
"Regarding the food at the train station, please rest assured that I will definitely deliver the food to Haichiling. Not only will I not lose a grain, but I will also give you a token of my gratitude. I will have to double the amount of food."
The reporter was confused: "Mr. Lu, why did you withhold the grain?"
"Because it was sent at the wrong time," Lu Dongjun patiently explained, "Hai Chi Ling was hit by an insect plague, with insects everywhere. Several batches of disaster relief food were sent there before, but were they useful?
Useless!
As soon as the food hit the ground, it was eaten up by insects, and the victims didn't get to eat a single bite.
Sending food there now would be like feeding the bugs. When food is really needed, it won't be available. This is not the right way to provide disaster relief!"
Haichiling was indeed hit by an insect plague, a very rare one.
This insect is a type of mosquito that specializes in eating food.
In the past, no one believed that there would be mosquitoes that eat food in this world. Mosquitoes rely on a needle to suck food, and they do not have the ability to eat food at all.
But it really happened.
In Haichiling, a kind of mosquito with black skin and white spots appeared. This mosquito does not drink blood but only eats food.
After hatching from the eggs, the larvae of this mosquito feed exclusively on water fleas and can grow up in a day.
It pupates on the second day, and turns into an adult on the third day and starts eating food.
Taking white rice as an example, this type of mosquito can drill a hole in the rice, spit out a stream of acid, turning the rice into rice juice from the inside out, and then suck the rice into an empty shell.
A mosquito can eat two grains of rice a day, which doesn't sound like a large amount.
But on the fourth day, the mosquitoes that have just turned into insects can mate and lay eggs immediately after mating. One mosquito can lay more than a hundred eggs.
On the fifth day, the mosquitoes were still able to lay eggs, more than a hundred of them.
According to this efficiency, the lifespan of a mosquito is about ninety days. During these ninety days, more than eighty days are spent laying eggs. A mosquito can lay more than eight thousand eggs in its lifetime.
Can all these more than 8,000 eggs survive?
Eighty percent can survive.
This kind of mosquito is poisonous. From eggs, larvae to adults, they are all highly toxic. Birds, beasts, fish and insects dare not eat them. As a creature without natural enemies, it can reproduce at a snowball speed.
The entire Haichiling Mountains are full of these mosquitoes. They can smell the scent of grain, rice, millet, wheat, corn, as long as it is grain, they will accept it.
Hai Chi Ling tried every possible way to deal with these mosquitoes, using smoke and poison. In some places, they even invited poison masters to use their own techniques, which could kill hundreds of thousands of them at a time.
Is it useful?
Basically useless.
The number of hundreds of thousands is nothing to this type of mosquito.
In a village, even if all the mosquitoes were killed, a large number of them would fly in from outside the village the next day and eat up all the food.
Some villages took strict precautions and managed to preserve a little food, hoping that by the twelfth lunar month, these mosquitoes would become extinct.
Who would have thought that these mosquitoes are not afraid of the cold? Now it is already the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and the number of these mosquitoes has hardly decreased. The food in Haichiling has almost been eaten up by these mosquitoes.
This is the realm of food cultivators. If a food cultivator does not eat for a day, he may lose his life.
Countless people died in the entire Haichiling area, and this black-skinned mosquito was called the family-destroying mosquito.
The reporter asked directly: "Mr. Lu, the mosquito is rampant now, and people are dying in Haichiling every day. Do you plan to wait like this?"
Lu Dongjun shook his head and said, "Of course I won't wait any longer. I will use all the strength of the Lu family to eliminate these pests within a month."
Click, click!
The photographer pressed the shutter button continuously, and this sentence carried a lot of weight.
The major families in Pro Province have mobilized countless forces, but have not been able to do anything about these mosquitoes. Lu Dongjun said that he would completely eliminate them within a month?
The reporter also became nervous: "Mr. Lu, are you the one who makes the decisions for the Lu family now? Do the words you just said represent the position of the entire Lu family?"
Lu Dongjun stood up and said, "Brother has entrusted the burden of the family to me. This is the heavy trust that brother has placed in me. No matter how those villains stir up trouble, brother's trust in me will not change.
If something happens in Haichiling, my Lu family will never stand by and watch, nor will we just send a few carts of food over there to show our appreciation and then walk away.
I must save Haichiling and the thousands of suffering and starving people.
This is the duty of my Lu family, and also my responsibility as Lu Dongjun!"
Snap!
Lu Dongjun's determined expression and posture were captured on the film.
…
After the reporter left, Lu Dongjun called Wan Jinxian and asked, "Is this reliable?"
Wan Jinxian brought a glass bottle and handed it to Lu Dongjun: "Master, look, none of the mosquitoes in this bottle survived.
This is a method I have worked hard to come up with. If one mosquito is infected, all other mosquitoes that come into contact with it will die. The disease will spread layer by layer, and within half a month, mosquitoes in Haichiling will definitely be extinct.
At that time, you will be the god of Haichiling, and Haichiling will be your territory alone.
The most urgent thing now is to quickly deal with the business in Green Water City and exchange it all for real money. We must move to another place. The disturbances in Green Water City cannot hinder you anymore."
ps: Lu Dongjun wants to temporarily withdraw from Green Water City. Is this a good move?
Sala is trying to reach level 3 and needs a message urgently. Can everyone leave a message for Sala?
