Wang Lao Er opened the door sleepily and muttered impatiently:
"What the hell are you yelling about so early in the morning?"
"That kid Chen Changyuan is a poacher! He made a fortune!" Zhou Dazhu said mysteriously.
"Poaching?"
When Wang Lao Er heard this, his sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and his eyes lit up. "Is it true? Where did you steal it? How much money did you make?"
Zhou Dazhu repeated Sanbengzi's words with exaggeration, adding details of his own imagination, and telling the story vividly.
Wang Laoer was so excited when he heard this that he wanted to rush to Chen Changyuan's house immediately to "get a piece of the pie."
The two hit it off immediately, and called a few idle guys in the village, and walked towards Chen Changyuan's house in a menacing manner.
The door of Chen Changyuan's house was ajar. Zhou Dazhu kicked it open and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Chen Changyuan! You bastard! Get out here!"
The shouting and cursing woke up Chen Changyuan's mother. She walked out tremblingly on crutches, and saw a group of people blocking the door. Her face turned pale immediately.
"You...what do you want to do?"
"Old woman, stop playing dumb! Your son made a fortune poaching. Hand over the money now!"
Wang Laoer roared in a rough voice.
"Poaching? No way! My son has been collecting herbs in the mountains. Where did he get the money?" Fang Suxia explained in horror.
"You can buy so many things by picking herbs? You're kidding!"
Zhou Dazhu pushed Fang Suxia aside and rushed into the yard, "Chen Changyuan! Get out here!"
Fang Suxia was pushed to the ground and let out a painful groan.
Chen Changyuan, who was sorting medicinal herbs in the house, heard the noise outside and hurried out.
Seeing his mother fall to the ground, he was immediately enraged. He rushed to Zhou Dazhu and grabbed his collar, "What are you doing? How dare you push my mother!"
"Yoho! You still dare to do it?"
Zhou Dazhu, under the influence of alcohol, pretended to be fierce and said, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
The two men wrestled with each other, and the yard was in chaos.
When the surrounding villagers heard the noise, they ran over to watch, pointing and talking.
"Chen Changyuan looks quite honest, but I didn't expect him to actually dare to poach!"
"That's right! Seeing how many things he bought, he must be up to no good!"
"Zhou Dazhu is the same. He throws a tantrum after drinking. He doesn't even know where this place is!"
In the chaos, Zhou Dazhui slipped and fell to the ground, hitting his head and bleeding profusely.
He lay on the ground, clutching his wound, howling like a pig being slaughtered:
"Someone's being beaten! Chen Changyuan is beating someone! He's going to die!"
Wang Laoer and the others saw this and quickly surrounded Chen Changyuan, shouting:
"You dare to hit Brother Zhou? You don't want to live anymore!"
Chen Changyuan looked at Zhou Dazhui who was lying on the ground, and then looked at the villagers who were watching around.
At this time, Sanbengzi squeezed into the crowd, pointed at Chen Changyuan, and said indignantly:
"I saw Chen Changyuan carry three wolf skins down the mountain with my own eyes! One was so big, it must be worth a lot of money!"
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately in an uproar.
"Wolf? That's a protected animal!"
"This kid is so brave!"
"Catch him! Send him to jail!"
Chen Changyuan looked at this group of people as if they were looking at a group of buzzing flies, and an indescribable disgust rose in his heart.
The greed, jealousy, and ignorance in their eyes suffocated him.
After his rebirth, he wanted to live a peaceful life, but this group of people forced him to show his edge again.
He turned back into the house and took out his hunting rifle. The black muzzle pointed at the sky and there was a deafening bang.
The crowd fell silent in an instant, and everyone was stunned, as if they were under a spell.
Zhou Dazhui covered his still bleeding forehead, his face pale, and his original arrogance was extinguished in an instant.
The smell of gunpowder filled the air. Chen Changyuan sneered and glanced at everyone. "Who said we can't go into the mountains to hunt? Huh?"
Everyone looked at each other, stammering and speechless.
They only know that it has been passed down from generation to generation that things in the mountains cannot be moved casually, but no one can explain the specific reason.
Zhou Dazhu recovered and shouted in a timid tone:
"Everything in the mountains belongs to the public! It's wrong for you to hunt privately!"
Chen Changyuan sneered, "Public property? Then please ask the village chief, which public property this mountain belongs to? Show me the title deed!"
Zhou Dazhu was choked and speechless. How could he know what a land deed was?
"Go, call the village chief."
Chen Changyuan said to a young man who was watching the fun, "Just say that Chen Changyuan wants to talk to him about this mountain."
The young man did not dare to delay and ran to find the village chief.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Changyuan helped his mother into the house and poured her a glass of water to calm her down.
"Mom, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Fang Suxia held her son's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry, "Changyuan, Zhou Dazhu is not someone you can easily mess with. His brother is from the town..."
"I know." Chen Changyuan interrupted his mother, "Don't worry, Mom, I know what's going on."
In his previous life, he was forced into a desperate situation by these people because he was too cautious.
He will not make the same mistake again in this life.
After a while, the village chief came hurriedly with several village cadres.
"Changyuan, what's going on?"
Village chief Ma Tian asked as he entered the door, his eyes sweeping over the scattered things in the yard and Zhou Dazhu lying on the ground, his brows furrowed.
"Village Chief Ma Tian, you've arrived just in time."
