Chapter 23 Naturalization on Liuli Island
While Li Fan was thinking, a young man who looked a little fat came over not far from him.
The young man patted Li Fan on the shoulder and said, somewhat familiarly: "Brother, you look a little strange. I wonder who your official position is in Dali? Or is he a wealthy businessman from which continent?"
Li Fan slapped the young man's hand away on his shoulder, and then stared at him coldly without saying a word.
The fat young man suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and a chill rose up behind him.
Although I feel a little embarrassed to be frightened by someone's look, the fat young man also has a good eye. Li Fan looks ordinary, but he has a faint aura of calmness and self-respect, which is obviously because he has been in a high position all year round.
Not a simple person!
The fat young man came to a conclusion in an instant, and then left wisely.
Seeing this, everyone else knew that Li Fan was not very kind, so no one came to talk to him after that.
As the lights flickered, everyone's voices became quieter and quieter, and gradually they all fell asleep.
A night of silence.
Before dawn the next day, everyone was woken up.
A middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing a green robe, walked in front of everyone, with his hands behind his back.
"I will take you to get your household registration in a moment. After you get your household registration, you will officially become a member of Liuli Island." The middle-aged man looked around and said coldly.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, everyone looked excited.
"Remember, don't say anything you shouldn't say. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee your life safety." The man narrowed his eyes and added.
Everyone also knew that what they did this time was shady, so they all nodded.
Afterwards, at the middle-aged man's instruction, Li Fan and the others all changed into tattered clothes.
Then he taught a unified set of speaking skills.
"You are all residents of Dayu Island in the West. You fled here because the island was destroyed by the storm. If anyone asks, just say this."
Everyone also said so.
Then, the middle-aged man took the lead, and under the supervision of four or five big men in black, everyone left the cave along a secret passage and came to the ground.
After wandering around the residential areas in the city for an unknown amount of time, I finally came to a mansion.
Li Fan noticed that although their group of dozens of people was quite large, most of the residents on the island just took a casual look and stopped paying attention. They were obviously used to it.
They did not enter through the gate of the mansion. Soon after the boy at the door went in to report, he returned and led everyone through a side door on the left to a lobby.
The lobby is quite spacious. Before Li Fan and others arrived, two or three groups, totaling hundreds of people, had already gathered.
Even so, it didn't seem crowded.
The middle-aged man's eyes signaled everyone to wait patiently.
Soon, it was Li Fan's turn.
"Guanshi Zhao!" the middle-aged man greeted.
"Are these the victims who want to register?" Manager Zhao looked a bit old in his fifties or sixties. But his eyes were extremely sharp. After scanning the crowd, he said with a smile but not a smile: "Sun Zhang, these victims are all rich or noble!"
Sun Zhang didn't panic, and just sighed: "Yes. They were all wealthy people on Dayu Island before. Unfortunately, without the protection of the immortal master, natural disasters came, and all the wealth and glory were in vain. Now I can only travel thousands of miles. We took refuge on Liuli Island.”
After saying that, Sun Zhang took something out of his arms and handed it to Manager Zhao calmly.
Manager Zhao glanced at it, accepted it, and then sighed: "The storm was raging a few days ago, and even our Liuli Island was affected. The western islands suffered heavy losses. It is said that more than two hundred islands were affected. It was razed to the ground, and countless mortal souls returned to the sea.”
"Fortunately, the Immortal Master is compassionate and allows us to rescue the victims. It is a good thing that you, Tianbao Tower, are so considerate! Don't worry, I will report the truth to the island owner. When the time comes, you will definitely be rewarded by the Immortal Master."
Sun Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and kept saying compliments.
Manager Zhao listened and went through the naturalization procedures for everyone.
Not long after, it was Li Fan's turn. Manager Zhao glanced at Li Fan, with a strange look in his eyes.
"What's your name?" Manager Zhao asked.
"Li Fan." Li Fan answered truthfully.
"Here, put a drop of your blood on it." Manager Zhao wrote the word Li Fan on a rectangular object that looked like jade but not jade, and looked like paper but not paper, and then handed it over.
Li Fan bit his finger and dripped blood.
Then, the blood seemed to have spirituality and penetrated into the word Li Fan.
"Put this talisman away. It will be your identity certificate from now on. You need to show this talisman when receiving work, distributing food, responding to inspections, etc. on the island. Don't lose it." Unlike others, Manager Zhao was obviously He became much kinder to Li Fan and explained more to him.
This attracted Sun Zhang and the others to look at him sideways.
I don't know what Manager Zhao saw, but Li Fan didn't say any more words of thanks. After nodding, he put away the magic talisman and walked straight to the side.
The efficiency of distributing household registrations was very high, and soon, all the people in this group got the household registrations of Liuli Island.
Everyone looked very excited.
He left this place and did not return to the previous cave. Instead, he was taken to the courtyard of a house by Sun Zhang.
"Now that the household registration is in hand, the deed can be signed." Sun Zhang said to Su Changyu among the crowd.
Su Changyu carefully took out a piece of thin paper from his bosom, then bit his finger and solemnly wrote his name with blood.
As soon as he signed, the thin paper spontaneously combusted without fire, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and drifted away to an unknown place.
After burning, only the last small piece of the contract remained.
"The so-called three contracts end. As long as we are completely settled in the future, I will sign the final contract as agreed." Su Changyu said neither servile nor arrogant.
"Humph, dealing with you Lijie is troublesome. If it weren't for... the Immortal Master, our Tianbao Tower would not do this loss-making business." Sun Zhang snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied.
But he didn't say anything more afterwards, but explained what everyone needed to pay attention to on the island later.
"All residents of Liuli Island can get a residence with their household registration talisman. Although it is only in the remote outskirts of the northernmost part of the island, it is at least a place to shelter from the wind and rain. In addition, in the first year of naturalization, you can get a certain amount of food every month for free. Of course, if you are used to delicacies from mountains and seas and can't get used to this free relief food, you can also go to the island to eat and drink at your own expense."
...
After Sun Zhang said a lot of words, he was dry-mouthed and stopped to rest, but suddenly heard Su Changyu asking.
"I wonder what we should do if we want to practice?"
This is exactly what Li Fan is concerned about. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
