A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 64 Donkey cart, 10,000 yuan per trip

A luxury off-road vehicle stopped on a country road.

Young Master Lu got out of the car with his newly acquired young model and waited quietly. Then another woman got out of the car. She was not only beautiful but also had a great temperament. She was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and looked graceful yet heroic.

This woman is Lu Dongxuan from the Lu family.

This time, she led the team to participate in the medicine fair. The Lu family started out by collecting medicines for various pharmacies, and medicinal herbs are the Lu family's main business. In previous years, the Lu family head, Lu Dongxuan's father Lu Youqi, led the team. However, this year Lu Dongxuan broke through to the Martial Apprentice level, and her status is extraordinary. Lu Youqi decided to delegate power to her.

After all, Lu Dongxuan became a martial arts apprentice before the age of twenty-one, so she is very likely to become a student at Tianwu University, and her future is limitless.

If the Lu family were truly handed over to her, she would surely surpass the Hao family, the Bai family, and even the Zhong family in the future, becoming an equal to the Gu family.

This is also Lu Youqi's biggest dream.

Originally, Lu Dongxuan didn't want to come to the medicine market. Her mind was entirely focused on martial arts. However, she had suffered repeated setbacks in developing her influence in Longqiu recently, which greatly affected this proud young lady. So, under Lu Shao's persuasion and entreaty, she decided to come and relax.

"This godforsaken place." Lu Shao cursed as he looked at a narrow and long road.

"Yes, Young Master Lu, how are we supposed to get here? I even wore a pair of shoes that cost 30,000 yuan. Won't they be ruined walking on this road?"

Lu Dongxuan frowned: "Knowing that you're going to walk on a mountain road, you still wear expensive shoes. Lu Dongyang, the women you've chosen are all so stupid."

Lu Dongyang was scolded, but he didn't dare to talk back.

The woman pouted, feeling wronged, but since Lu Dongyang didn't dare to talk back, she was even less willing to.

Just then, a donkey cart came speeding by.

Lu Dongyang's eyes lit up, and he reached out to stop the donkey cart: "Fellow villager, how much do you charge for a ride on this donkey?"

The driver gave Lu Dongyang a disdainful look: "Have you ever seen a donkey pull money? Donkeys only pull dung balls, not money."

Lu Dongyang was taken aback by the driver's retort, his mouth twisting in disbelief: "I mean, do you charge for this donkey cart?"

"Of course I need money."

How much is one trip?

The man rushing to catch the carriage held up one finger.

"One hundred dollars?"

The man rushing to catch the train shook his head.

"A thousand dollars? You're really ripping me off."

Those rushing to catch the train still shook their heads.

"No way, ten thousand yuan? Are you robbing me?" Lu Dongyang wasn't short of money, but he didn't like being ripped off like this. Ten thousand yuan for a single donkey cart trip—if his friends found out, they'd laugh at him to death.

"Take it or leave it," the driver said, and hurried onto the highway.

The three of them had no choice but to walk. After walking for a while, the young model stopped and said in a tearful voice, "Young Master Lu, how much further is it? I really can't walk anymore. I can walk the runway, but I can't walk on this dirt road."

"Alright, Yaoyao, hang in there a little longer. Once we get there, I'll get you whatever wild game you want to eat. The spring water in these mountains even has beauty and skin-nourishing properties."

After being coaxed by Lu Dongyang, the little model named Yaoyao walked a little further.

Just then, the sound of a donkey cart bell came from behind.

When Lu Shao and his group turned around, they saw several familiar faces sitting on the donkey cart.

One is Hao Xiajian, and the other should be Hao Xiajian's father, Hao Henxin.

Hao Henxin couldn't have the owl eye on his forehead gouged out, so like the people of Tianfang Kingdom, he wrapped his forehead with a headscarf and wore large sunglasses, afraid that others would recognize him.

However, Longqiu was a small place, and the circle of wealthy families was not large either. Hao Henxin's affair had already spread in private.

It's fine if he doesn't go out, but when he does, he's all bundled up so tightly, which just makes things worse.

Of course, he came to the medicine fair this time also hoping to try his luck, maybe there was some expert there who could cure his eye.

Accompanying Hao Xiajian and his son in the same vehicle were Bai Chunying and Bai Xiaochen from the Bai family. They had chartered the vehicle, but when Hao Xiajian and his son saw that they could ride in a donkey cart, they immediately offered to pay for the entire fare.

Bai Xiaochen didn't want them to ride in the car, but Bai Chunying was a member of the Long Qiubai family, while Bai Xiaochen and Bai Li were separated from the Long Qiubai family and had no right to speak. So, since Bai Chunying agreed to let the father and son get in the car, Bai Xiaochen couldn't say anything.

As soon as the donkey cart approached Lu Dongyang and his two companions, the little model Yaoyao simply stopped moving, staring intently at the donkey cart.

Lu Dongyang didn't want to walk anymore. He was used to a life of luxury, and walking such a long dirt road would be exhausting. Besides, the worst thing in this world is comparison.

They hadn't originally intended to take the donkey cart, as it cost 10,000 yuan per trip, which was far too expensive. However, seeing so many people on the cart, all of whom they knew, their competitive spirit kicked in.

Why can others ride in donkey carts, but I can't?

We are all born of parents and raised by parents. If other people can enjoy life, why can't I?

Lu Dongyang stopped the donkey cart again: "Fellow villager, I'm willing to pay ten thousand yuan, please let us on the cart."

"Ten thousand won't do, we'll need twenty thousand," the driver said.

"What? Twenty thousand? We've already gone halfway and you want twenty thousand? Why don't you just rob us?" Lu Dongyang shouted.

"Take your seat or leave, please make way, we're in a hurry," the driver said.

Hao Xiajian also said, "Yes, Young Master Lu, it's getting dark soon, we shouldn't delay our journey."

Lu Dongyang gritted his teeth: "Fine, twenty thousand it is."

After he finished speaking, he took out a check and was about to give it to the person rushing to catch the train.

The man rushing to catch the train glanced at the check and said, "What is this? I don't want it."

Lu Dongyang thought to himself, "That makes sense. These mountain folk have never seen checks before. How about a mobile transfer?" He took out his phone: "You have a mobile phone, right?"

"Young man, you're being very rude. You're using a phone without a lip. Civility is for everyone," the driver blurted out, then shook his head. "We don't use these things in the mountains. Shouting is much more convenient than this."

Lu Dongyang was dumbfounded.

They have money but can't spend it.

Hao Xiajian urged, "Young Master Lu, don't you know that the medicine market needs to bring hard currency? Cash is the bare minimum, gold will also be fine, otherwise you've come all this way for nothing."

Ever since Lu Dongxuan became a martial arts apprentice and helped Xiong Da change his power, Lu Dongyang has become arrogant, even disregarding Hao Xiajian, which has infuriated Hao Xiajian for several days. Now that he finally has a chance to insult Lu Shao, will he let this opportunity pass?

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. We have to go. You guys take your time walking. When the moon comes out, you can sing as you walk."

Hao Xiajian smiled sinisterly and began to sing: "The moon moves, and so do I..."

The donkey cart sped away, kicking up a cloud of dust. Lu Dongyang's face was ashen, and his fists were clenched so tightly they were sweating. He had already suffered a setback before even reaching the medicine market.
