Chapter 10 Two Little Things

  As the captain of the patrol, Lu Kui had received many gifts, but it was the first time that he was willing to send a Xuan coin right out of the gate.   Of course, Lu Kui wanted this Xuan Currency, but he understood the principle of not accepting a gift without merit, and he was afraid that this Xuan Currency would be too hot to accept.   In the case that Zhou Yi Mu did not say what he needed to do, Lu Kui did not dare to accept it in any case.   If Zhou Yi Mu wants him to keep Zhou Fan's life no matter what, then Lu Kui can't do it, this Xuan Yuan he absolutely can't accept, because the patrol team has the rules of the patrol team, joining the patrol team is to fight to the death, it is impossible for him to keep Zhou Fan by his side, thus guaranteeing Zhou Fan's safety.   It would cause all the members of the patrol to be dissatisfied with Lu Kui, and by keeping a newcomer like Zhou Fan by his side, Lu Kui's own danger would increase, and Lu Kui would never do such a thing, so he had to listen to what Zhou Yimu wanted from him.   "Captain Lu, I won't make things difficult for you, this Xuan Coin is just hoping for some small favor." Of course, Zhou Yi Mu also understood that it was impossible to ask too much from Lu Kui for a single Xuan Coin.   "Oh, what is it? Brother Zhou might as well tell me, I will definitely help if I can." Lu Kui made a posture of listening with all ears and said.   Zhou Yi Mu said after a slight contemplation, "Actually it's just two small things, the first one is that I hope that Captain Lu can find an old man in the team to bring Zhou Fan during patrols, Zhou Fan has recently fallen and injured himself, he has forgotten a lot of things, and doesn't have a good understanding of what's going on outside."   "This is no problem." Lu Kui grinned and agreed, after all, even if it was a newcomer enlisting in the army, the team would usually adopt the approach of veterans bringing new recruits, so that the casualty rate could be reduced.   If it wasn't for the fact that the casualty rate was horribly high with such an approach, then I'm afraid that the patrol would have been finished a long time ago, so even if Zhou Yi Mu didn't say anything, Lu Kui would still follow the rules.   "When the time comes, I'll arrange for a good-tempered old bird to teach Fan properly." Lu Kui added as he looked at Zhou Fan again.   Although he would arrange for a veteran, there was a difference between veterans and veterans, some grumpy, impatient veterans could not be very good at teaching people, Lu Kui's words afterward were obviously considered special treatment for Zhou Fan.   "Thank you Captain Lu." Zhou Fan, who had been listening on the side without saying anything, opened his mouth at the right time, his tone carrying a hint of respect.   Zhou Fan had been a criminal police officer for two or three years before crossing over to this world, and still had a slight understanding of the human condition.   Lu Kui smiled and nodded his head, it seems that this young man is quite well informed, he then looked at Zhou Yi Mu and asked, "I don't know what the second small thing Brother Zhou said is?"   Lu Kui said the word 'small matter' with a heavier pitch, he was reminding Zhou Yi Mu that it had to be a 'small matter' for it to work.   "I've heard that when you join the patrol, newcomers will be taught martial arts to deal with the strange and treacherous, is there such a thing?" Zhou Yi Mu opened his mouth to ask.   Lu Kui nodded his head and said, "There is such a thing, and I will be responsible for the teaching of the martial arts, don't worry Brother Zhou, I will teach Fan well after he joins the team."   Lu Kui thought to himself that if this was a request, it would really be a small matter.   Zhou Yi Mu glanced at Zhou Fan before he slowly said, "I hope that Captain Lu can teach Ah Fan the martial arts now so that he has a few more days to practice."   "Teach now?" Lu Kui's brows furrowed, "But as you know, the patrol is very busy, I'm afraid I can't find the time."   Teaching martial arts to the members before they joined the team, this could not be considered a bad rule, after all, there was no rule in the village that said that it could not be taught in advance, it was just that Lu Kui had heard what Zhou Yimu meant, that he wanted him to teach Zhou Fan individually first, but where would he have the time to do so?   Zhou Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, he then realized that Zhou Yi Mu brought him here for the purpose.   If he really learned some martial arts, it would greatly increase his survival rate, he just didn't know what the level of martial arts in this world was.   But this world was so dangerous, so he thought that the martial arts in this world would definitely be much stronger than the modern world.   Zhou Yimu said nonchalantly, "I just want to let Afan advance to familiarize himself with the team's martial arts, as long as you instruct Captain Lu in your free time it will be fine, it's only a few days, as for how much Afan can learn, I won't blame you if he learns slowly."   Lu Kui was silent and didn't say anything, he was considering whether it was worth it or not, in the end his eyes landed on the Xuan Coin on the table, still he reached over and collected the Xuan Coin, he smiled and said, "That's fine, Brother Zhou has said so, I'll agree to it, the time at noon is too short, and it's not every day that I have the time to come back at noon, so you can let Ah Fan come over in the evening, so let's start tonight. "   After the matter was finalized, Zhou Yi Mu took Zhou Fan to say goodbye and leave, Lu Kui escorted him all the way to the door before he turned around and returned.   "Lu Kui this person you don't see he looks big and thick, but in fact the mind is very fine, is a very shrewd person, you later into the patrol team, pay more attention to his behavior, if there is any danger, he is likely to be the first to notice." Zhou Yi Mu spoke about his opinion of Lu Kui after moving away from the Lu family.   "I know." Zhou Fan memorized what Zhou Yi Mu said in his mind, he knew that what Zhou Yi Mu said was not wrong, after a short contact, this Lu Kui was indeed just as Zhou Yi Mu said, keeping an eye on Lu Kui's movements might save his life at a critical moment.   The two soon returned home, after stepping over the threshold, Zhou Yi Mu again turned his head and looked at Zhou Fan and said, "If you're not doing anything in these few days, then follow Lu Kui to practice your martial arts, the remaining two Xuan Coins I will be looking for you to find a life preserving thing, you still have what you want, you can also feel free to say to me."   Hearing Zhou Yi Mu's words, Zhou Fan was silent for a moment before he raised his head and said, "Father, are there any people in the village who are reaching the end of their lifespan recently?"   Zhou Yi Mu raised his eyebrows, he thought for a while and said, "This I haven't noticed much, people whose life span is about to end don't go around announcing it, rather their families deal with it on their own, why are you asking this?"   In Sanqiu Village, when a person in an ordinary family dies, they will only be buried hastily with a roll of straw mats, there won't even be a coffin, and the funeral won't be a big deal, so if they don't pay attention deliberately, even if someone they are not familiar with dies, I'm afraid that the ordinary people will only learn about it after a while.   "I want to see what it's like when someone whose life span is ending is dying." Zhou Fan replied, what he wanted to see was the life-threatening longevity ghost.   Even if Zhou Yi Mu said that people could not deal with longevity ghosts, Zhou Fan still wanted to see it before he was satisfied.   Zhou Yi Mu was stunned, he looked down and thought for a moment before he looked up at Zhou Fan and sighed, "I'll help you poke around then, but you have to remember, no matter what you see, don't give up, once you start to waver in your heart, then you won't even have a glimmer of hope."   "Father, don't worry, I just want to know what it is that I will be facing in the future, so that I can also prepare properly." Zhou Fan replied with a smile.
