Chen Chongshan examined Ah Huang thoroughly, inside and out, and found that Ah Huang had only suffered some minor superficial injuries, so he was relieved.
When Ah Huang hunts in the mountains and forests, he will suffer some injuries when fighting against various wild animals. These simple superficial wounds will not cause him much harm and will heal quickly without any treatment.
"Ah Huang, well done."
Chen Chongshan held Ah Huang's huge head and shook it a few times, excitedly saying that compared to the life-and-death struggle in the mountains and forests, this battle was child's play for Ah Huang. The whole fight only lasted about ten minutes, and Ah Huang won easily, bringing Chen Chongshan 20,000 yuan in gambling money.
After giving Ah Huang a cold look, Huang Maosan quickly calmed down.
Twenty thousand yuan was not a big deal to him. He was one of the top gangsters in Meishan County. Within his sphere of influence, he had businesses in bars and KTVs, which brought him substantial profits.
Money has never been a problem for him. He challenged Chen Chongshan to a duel to save face and teach Ah Huang a lesson, but now, that wish has also been dashed.
After a pause, Huang Mao San took a paper bag from one of his henchmen and handed it to Chen Chongshan, saying, "Here, this is the gambling money. Count it."
"good."
Chen Chongshan released Ah Huang, took the paper bag, glanced at it briefly, and nodded: "Thanks."
"Hey, Chen Chongshan, do you really need money?" After a pause, Huang Mao San looked at Chen Chongshan and continued to ask.
"Hmm?" Chen Chongshan was taken aback when he heard Huang Mao San's question, then laughed and said, "Yes, it's very necessary. Who doesn't need money?"
"Urgently needed?" Huang Mao San continued to ask, but there was a subtle undertone in his words.
"What? You want to send me some more?"
Chen Chongshan asked in response with a questioning look on his face.
"Ha ha……"
Huang Mao San laughed loudly, paused for a moment, and then replied, "Chen Chongshan, although I, your third brother, am doing quite well in Meishan County, my family is large and my business is huge. So many brothers are relying on me for their livelihood, so I'm not as wealthy as you think."
"However, if you really need money, I have a good place to go, it just depends on whether you agree."
Huang Maosan continued.
"Where to?" Chen Chongshan asked, puzzled.
"Next month, which is about a month away, there will be a large dog fighting competition in Taohua County next door. A lot of people will go there. Those people are all rich kids who play with dogs. The dogs aren't that great, but the stakes are very high. With your dog's strength, winning some money shouldn't be a problem."
Huang Mao San said with a faint smile, his gaze falling on Ah Huang again. However, Ah Huang was also looking at him at that moment, and the cold look in Ah Huang's eyes made Huang Mao San's heart tighten.
"Dogfighting contest?"
Chen Chongshan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ah Huang. He wasn't against dog fighting; he felt that Ah Huang was fighting no matter where it fought, and fighting with dogs was never as dangerous as fighting with wild beasts.
Moreover, after browsing dog fighting forums and online communities for so many days, all I've seen and heard is news about dog fighting, so I think it's a common occurrence.
As Huang Maosan said before, the value of hunting dogs lies in hunting, while the value of fighting dogs should be reflected in the dogfighting arena.
Ah Huang is a Central Asian Shepherd Dog. Nowadays, they no longer herd sheep and are more often seen as fighting dogs.
Chen Chongshan was still somewhat hesitant and worried. He wasn't afraid to let Ah Huang face any breed of dog, but he was afraid of the people behind those fierce dogs. Dog fighting wasn't scary in itself; what was scary was the human heart.
As some people say, the more people you meet, the more you find yourself liking dogs.
"How is it?" Huang Mao San asked Chen Chongshan.
"I'll think about it."
Chen Chongshan paused, squeezed the paper bag in his hand, and finally turned to look at Huang Mao San and said.
“Well, that’s fine. It’s still early anyway. But if you’re going to Chongshan, you should make preparations as soon as possible. Although you’re strong in Central Asia, you’re still a raw dog. It’s best to train more before you go,” Huang Mao San replied.
"Okay, thanks."
Chen Chongshan nodded and thanked him. Huang Mao San was right; Ah Huang did indeed lack experience in fighting dogs.
"If you're sure you want to go and train dogs, you can contact me."
Huang Mao San waved his hand, said something, and then, together with his underlings, loaded the broken-legged Tosa Gunpla into the car and left.
Chen Chongshan watched the car disappear, remaining in place for a long time before finally untying Ah Huang's leash. The two of them then slowly walked home...
…………
Along the way, Chen Chongshan was initially torn between the invitation extended by Huang Maosan, but soon he remembered that he had just won 20,000 yuan, and his mood instantly became excited again.
Although this money is still some distance from Chongming's medical expenses, it is at least one step closer.
On his way home, Chen Chongshan made a detour to a nearby seafood market and bought some crabs and prawns.
He knew Chongming loved these things, but hairy crabs were expensive, so Chen Chongming rarely asked to eat them. However, since he had won money today, Chen Chongshan decided to splurge. As long as he had the means, he always wanted to satisfy his younger brother's every need.
I bought six crabs, two pounds of shrimp, and some beef bones for Ah Huang to make soup at home. Along the way, the vendors and pedestrians pointed and commented on Ah Huang's size; such a big dog was really a bit frightening.
Back home, Chen Chongming was herding chickens in the yard. Chen Chongshan smiled, waved the crabs and shrimp in his hand, and said with a smile, "Chongming, look what I bought back."
"Crabs?" Chen Chongming looked up, his voice initially filled with surprise, but then turned somewhat disappointed: "Brother, why waste money?"
"It's alright, I have money," Chen Chongshan replied with a smile.
"But……"
Chen Chongming opened his mouth, but then immediately realized something and shut it up.
Chen Chongshan looked at Chen Chongming and suddenly realized something. In the past, as long as he bought something, Chongming would say that he shouldn't waste money, but he would still be very happy. However, today was different. Chongming seemed to be very nervous about the money.
Chen Chongshan smiled awkwardly, then carried the crabs into the kitchen. He knew how much Chongming longed to stand up, and he was worried about every penny he could have, as it could all go towards his medical expenses.
After leaving the kitchen, Chen Chongming was still sitting in the yard, but he didn't pay much attention to Ah Huang, who was playing and acting cute with him, clearly in a bad mood.
Upon seeing Chen Chongshan emerge, Chen Chongming hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Brother, how much money do we have now?"
"ah?"
Chen Chongshan was taken aback for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "I've raised over 100,000 yuan in the past few days, and now I have 150,000 to 160,000 yuan. Don't worry, we'll have enough money soon."
"oh."
Chen Chongming nodded and then asked, "Brother, is it difficult to borrow money?"
"No, no, there are still many places I haven't asked for help with. Today I played a game with Ah Huang and won 20,000. If we play a few more games, I probably won't need to borrow any more money."
Chen Chongshan replied with a smile.
"Um."
Chen Chongming nodded, his mood seemingly improving considerably in that instant.
He had thought he would never be able to stand up again, but now, thanks to his brother's persistence, he had regained hope. He finally had an incredibly strong desire to stand up, walk, and run on his own.
He began to stop trying to calmly and sensibly persuade his brother not to make things difficult for him. After all, he was just a child of about ten years old, and even if he was very sensible, he couldn't suppress such an impulse.
Chen Chongming turned to the side and started playing around with Ah Huang, but Chen Chongshan's heart became much heavier. He spoke to Chongming in a very lighthearted manner, but the truth was extremely difficult.
He still has a shortfall of over 300,000 yuan, which is no small sum. It seems that he has no choice but to continue dog fighting.
Just as Chen Chongshan was about to go back to the kitchen to cook, the phone suddenly rang. Chen Chongshan looked at the number and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Professor Jiang, hello."
Upon receiving the call, Chen Chongshan greeted the doctor first, showing him the utmost respect for this highly skilled physician with excellent medical ethics and character.
"Hello, Chongshan."
Professor Jiang's calm voice rang out: "Are you in the provincial capital now? Or have you returned to Meishan?"
"Professor Jiang, we've already returned to Meishan. Is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Chongshan asked hurriedly, his heart pounding with anxiety.
"Here's the thing, I've already contacted my American medical mentor, and he's very confident in treating your brother's condition. They've already arranged a time, probably in about two months, before New Year's Day, for him to bring his team to China."
"I'm letting you know so you can prepare as soon as possible and come to me in advance to prepare for the initial treatment."
"Oh, okay, okay, two months?"
Chen Chongshan was initially pleasantly surprised, but his emotions soon became complicated.
The American medical team was very confident about Chongming's condition, which was something to be happy about. However, the shortfall in medical expenses over the past two months has put him under tremendous pressure.
"Yes, don't worry. This time, my mentor is also preparing it as a medical project for my juniors. With my mentor and his assistant doing it personally, the chances of success are infinitely high."
Professor Jiang said confidently.
"Okay, thank you, Professor Jiang."
Chen Chongshan nodded, feeling a surge of excitement. Although raising over 300,000 yuan in two months seemed incredibly difficult, with Professor Jiang's guarantee, the medical difficulties had been overcome. Therefore, this money shouldn't be an obstacle anymore...
