"Sister, um...if I give you this note, can you give me two steamed buns?"

It seemed that this was the first time the child had done such a rogue thing. His eyes were timid, and after he finished speaking, his dirty little face turned red, and his head turned to the side unconsciously.

Lu Nanzhi looked at this awkward child carefully.

His hair was disheveled and he looked messy. His feet were bare and his clothes were in tatters. People couldn't tell his gender for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the child bit his lip, put the hand holding the note behind his back, and then took a few steps back.

"Sister, if you don't give me something to eat, then quit. Don't even think about taking the things back!"

He bites every word very hard and tries his best to show some momentum, but he is too young and thin, which only gives people a pitiful vibe.

Lu Nanzhi knelt down and looked into the child's eyes, trying to sound gentler.

"Sister, I didn't bring anything to eat when I went out. How about I give you a low-grade spiritual stone in exchange for this note?"

The child was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly: "Spiritual stone? Is it the kind of spiritual stone used by the monks?"

Lu Nazhi nodded a bit dumbfounded, "Master Monk" was not really an elegant title.

The child's eyes suddenly lit up. Although she was young, she had heard from her elders in the family that a low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a lot of gold.

His hand was about to reach out, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and retracted his hand again.

"Sister, are you a monk?"

Lu Nanzhi nodded again.

"Then, can you cure diseases? I heard that the monks have great powers. I don't want your spiritual stone anymore. Can you help me cure my grandma?"

Lu Nazhi shook his head, "Although I am a monk, I am not a medical practitioner."

A trace of disappointment flashed across the child's face. Without saying anything else, he happily thrust the note into Lu Nanzhi's hand, "Sister, I'll trade you for a spiritual stone."

Lu Nanzhi felt that this child was somewhat innocent and cute. Just now, he had imitated adults in threatening others fiercely, but now he was not at all wary of her. He didn't even know what it meant to pay for everything.

Lu Nanzhi took the note and gave the child a low-grade spiritual stone as promised.

The child was very happy, holding the spirit stone tightly in his hand and ran away like flying.

Lu Nanzhi smiled and opened the note. A few lines of faint gold characters appeared on it.

[Wish-fulfilling order: Those who participate in the selection meeting must fulfill the wishes of the people selected by the wish-fulfilling order within one month. When the wish is fulfilled, the chosen person will be handed over the token, and those who can obtain the token will immediately be qualified to participate in the Dao Conference. 】

After Lu Nazhi silently read the words on the note, he heard a commotion as soon as he raised his head.

"Forget it, Xiaochun, just give them the things!"

Lu Nanzhi turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

The child just now was lying on the ground, her head was bleeding, and she looked at a middle-aged man standing in front of her with tears on her face.

The middle-aged man was holding the child's spiritual stone in his hand. He was also in ragged clothes and looked sallow and skinny, as if he could fall over in the wind.

Even if the child was not the one chosen by the wish-fulfillment order, Lu Nanzhi would not be able to ignore it if such a thing happened.

Before she could reach them, she heard the skinny man say to the child: "Xiaochun, don't blame me, we are really hungry too."

"Please hand over this spirit stone to save us all. I'm begging you as my second uncle."

Xiaochun sobbed, her face full of embarrassment. After a moment, she struggled to get up and wanted to grab the spiritual stone from her second uncle's hand.

"No! Return this spiritual stone to me. I'm going to save grandma! With this spiritual stone, I can enter the city. There are many monks in the city who are good at medicine. They will definitely be able to cure grandma!"

"Why don't you kid understand?" Xiaochun and her second uncle's eyes were red and her face was bitter, as if she was advising and venting, "You can't be saved! Your grandma has only one breath left. Do you know that? !”

"You only have a spiritual stone in your hand. You hand it over and enter the city. What next? You have nothing and are just a beggar. What monk will pay attention to you?"

"Give us this spiritual stone and let's exchange it for some food. Except for your grandma, we can all survive."

"We are all going to starve to death. Is it worth it for your grandma to trade for so many of us!"

Xiaochun and her second uncle became more and more excited as they talked, and in the end they sobbed that they could no longer speak.

"No, no, I must save grandma."

Xiaochun still refused to hand over the spirit stone. She cried and was about to rush to grab it, but was pushed to the ground by her second uncle.

There were many refugees who were also thin and languid gathered around. No one of them spoke to Xiaochun. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the spirit stone in Xiaochun's second uncle's hand.

Only a little boy stood up hesitantly, pointed at Lu Nanzhi and said, "How about we stop robbing Xiaochun. I, I just saw it, this woman gave Xiaochun the spirit stone."

The eyes of the refugees all turned to Lu Nanzhi, and she suddenly felt like she was being targeted by a pack of hungry wolves.

"She's dressed so well and it looks like she came from the city!"

"She must have something valuable on her."

"I used to see that all the monks and elders were carrying swords. She has no weapons in her hands. She is probably just an ordinary little girl."

"How about we..."

Lu Nanzhi listened to their whispers and understood that they wanted to rob something.

Although these people had evil intentions, they were not the vicious bandits that Lu Nanzhi remembered.

No matter how you look at them, they are just a group of ordinary people who have been in trouble and have no choice.

"No need," Lu Nanzhi said to Xiaochun and her second uncle first, "I can give you what you need, but you have to return Xiaochun's spirit stone to her first."

The refugees obviously didn't believe what Lu Nanzhi said, and were still ready to move forward.

Lu Nanzhi sighed softly, and threw the whip turned into a whip with his backhand on the ground.

Snapped!

A two-meter-deep trench appeared out of thin air between Lu Nazhi and the refugees.

The refugees were all stunned for a moment, and Xiaochun and her second uncle also put the spirit stone back into her hand in an instant.

Lu Nazhi ignored the stunned expressions of the refugees. She walked to the side and bent down to pick a leaf, whispered something, and then threw it away, and the leaf flew away towards the city like an arrow from a string.

Lu Nanzhi looked back and saw that Xiaochun had disappeared. She asked casually: "Has any of you seen where Xiaochun went?"

Almost instantly, all the refugees silently pointed in the same direction.

"Thank you!" Lu Nanzhigong cupped his hands and walked towards a forest.
