…
The next day.
As soon as it was light, Mu Chen took his hoe and went into the mountains again.
For a whole month, he left early and returned late every day.
Duoduo was very puzzled. Her brother brought back pheasants and doves every day, which were not very valuable. So why could her brother still smile?
That day, Mu Chen was happily holding an old ginseng root in the deep mountains when he heard someone calling him.
"Brother Chen... Brother Chen, where are you? Something's happened."
"Brother Chen, something's happened."
"Brother Chen---"
Mu Chen was certain someone was calling him; judging from the voice, it seemed to be Gou Dan, the grandson of the old lady next door.
"Here, Gou Dan, here..."
Soon, the two met up.
Fifteen-year-old Gou Dan, panting heavily, cried out, "Something's happened! Let's go..."
"Tell me slowly, what happened?"
“Your uncle, he...he wants to take Duoduo away.”
What?
Mu Chen took off running.
He thought that by being reborn, he could change Duoduo's life trajectory, but he never expected that bastard Mu Laosan would actually dare to come.
At this moment, dozens of Miao men blocked Mu Laosan's way at the entrance of Heiwu Village.
While clinging tightly to Duoduo, who was crying like a little kitten, Mu Laosan tried his best to explain to an old man.
"Chief, I already told you I was going to take this girl to school in town, why don't you believe me!" Mu Laosan made up an excuse.
The chief of Black Crow Village is the most respected elder of the Mu family and the head of Mu Chen's branch of the clan. He is responsible for liaising with the town.
The chieftain, puffing on his pipe, glanced at Mu Laosan and said, "When Achen arrives, if he agrees, these young men won't stop you."
“Chief, Ah Chen definitely won’t stop him. He can’t even support himself now, how could he afford to support this girl?”
"That's not up to you. Just wait, Ah Chen will be here soon."
The old woman next to Mu Chen's house found a sickle from somewhere, pointed it at Mu Laosan and shouted, "Let go of Duo'er first, or I'll kill you!"
"Grandma..."
Duoduo cried out.
The old woman strode forward, followed closely by her two sons, each holding a Miao knife and pointing it at Mu Laosan.
Seeing this, Mu Laosan no longer dared to hold onto Duoduo and hurriedly let go.
This bastard only dares to bully Mu Chen; if he encounters someone tough, he immediately turns into a grandson.
Soon, Mu Chen arrived.
"Brother---"
Mu Chen rushed into the crowd and saw Duo Duo crying her eyes out, and immediately flew into a rage.
"Are you alright?" Mu Chen squatted down in front of Duo Duo to check if she had been hit.
“Uncle said, brother, you promised to let him take me away.”
"Silly sister, your brother will say it again: no one can take you away from your brother. Don't cry!"
Mu Chen lovingly wiped away Duo Duo's tears.
The chieftain spoke up, "Achen, this is your own business, you should give your opinion."
Mu Chen stood up, glanced gratefully at the chieftain, and then fixed his icy gaze on the arrogant Mu Laosan.
"I told you, if you dare to come to Black Crow Village to cause me trouble again, I'll make sure you never leave." Mu Chen gripped his Miao sword and strode forward.
"What do you think you're doing, you little beast?"
What do you think?
The answer to Mu Laosan was a crisp sound.
Click...
"ah---"
Mu Laosan screamed in pain. He had intended to make the first move, but Mu Chen was too fast.
It's fast, simple, and brutal.
"You little beast...you dare hit me? You've gone against the Heavenly Gang!" Old Mu roared, clutching his broken bone.
“Grandpa said that you heartless, dog-like robbers, beasts who steal from one house to another, do not deserve to return to our Black Crow Village!”
Mu Chen slapped Mu Laosan a few more times, making the bastard dizzy.
"These slaps were given to me by my grandfather."
"You...you...pui..."
Old Mu was so angry that his face turned black, and in the blood he spat out, there were two teeth.
This scene caught the men of Black Crow Village off guard; it seemed that Ah Chen was not the coward they remembered.
Could it be because his grandfather passed away?
Mu Chen took out two pages of paper from his body and walked up to the village chief. "Grandpa, a few years ago our village kept losing chickens, ducks and geese, including your cow. Mu Laosan stole them all and sold them to these places."
"You little beast, you're talking nonsense! I... ouch..."
Mu Laosan jumped up, but fell down again before he could finish speaking.
Years ago, there were incidents of things being stolen in Heiwu Village, which caused widespread panic, but the perpetrators could not be caught.
Upon hearing Mu Chen mention it, several elderly women immediately gathered around.
The chieftain glanced at everyone and asked Mu Chen, "How did you know?"
“I went to town a few days ago and overheard some old ladies chatting while I was buying things.”
Mu Chen wouldn't be so foolish as to tell the truth.
Although the chieftain was over sixty, he was not senile. After thinking for a moment, he beckoned several strong men to come and take Mu Laosan away.
They must have gone to verify the truth of the matter.
"Mu Achen, you beast, how dare you harm me!"
"Mu Achen, I will not let you get away with this."
"I'll cut you into a thousand pieces, Mu Achen!"
Mu Laosan's roars gradually faded away as he was being held captive by the Miao men of Heiwu Village.
Mu Chen shouted, "Third Brother Mu, you also need to tell Eldest Brother Mu that I still have information about the shady things he's done. If he dares to mess with me, I won't let him off the hook either."
"Ah Chen, was the money that went missing from my house also stolen by Mu Laosan?" an auntie asked.
