Li Laosan glared fiercely at Mo Yuan, still hurling insults as he left: "Mo Yuan, you little brat, listen to me! You're lucky this time. If you fall into my hands again, see how I deal with you! You'll be sorry!" With that, he waved his hand and turned to walk out the door with his accomplices.
However, as soon as they reached the door, they found that their path had been completely blocked by a group of people led by Mo Youxian.
Mo Youxian glared angrily and shouted, "What's wrong? Do you think we're invisible?! You think you can just come and go as you please? No way! Put down everything you've stolen! Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive!" Before he finished speaking, the crowd behind him swarmed forward, closing in on Li Laosan and his men.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Li Laosan and his gang remained calm and composed. The guy with the injured arm, despite the wound still bleeding, still wore a fierce and vicious expression on his face.
He snorted coldly and cursed at Mo Youxian, "Hmph, you old bastard! Don't be so ungrateful and piss us off, or we'll all be finished! It'll be a fight to the death, and nobody's going to be any better! You're all missing limbs, so don't blame me for being ruthless! If you know what's good for you, get out of my way and let us go!"
For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate. Li Laosan grew increasingly anxious, brandishing his weapon and relentlessly advancing. The villagers, on the other hand, retreated in fear. After all, they were just ordinary villagers, and had never witnessed such a scene before.
Although he could initially put on a show of intimidating the other side, when the real battle came, he was still somewhat apprehensive. Seeing that Li Laosan and his men were about to break through the encirclement and escape, Mo Yuan, who had been observing coldly, finally decided to make his move.
His eyes darted around, and a brilliant plan flashed through his mind. He decided to use some clever tricks to lure the arrogant and domineering Li Laosan. Just moments before, the man had unceremoniously pulled out his weapon, his menacing appearance clearly indicating that he had no intention of letting anyone go easily.
Recalling the previous scene, if Mo Youxian and the others hadn't arrived in time, he and his elder sister would probably have suffered a great loss. Thinking of this, Mo Yuan felt a surge of anger, and his hatred for Li Laosan grew even stronger.
He knew perfectly well that the other party's aggressive attitude stemmed solely from their desire for money. Since that was the case, he might as well test just how greedy they were. Based on the estimated timeline, Gouzi and his men should be arriving soon. Therefore, he only needed to stall them for as long as possible, and Li Laosan would have no chance of escape.
Having made up his mind, Mo Yuan acted decisively, shouting loudly at Li Laosan and his accomplices who were turning to leave: "Hey! Haven't you always been eager to get the cultivation technology for this kind of mushroom? Actually, it's not entirely impossible to teach it to you, but on the condition that you agree to my conditions!"
Upon hearing this, Li Laosan stopped abruptly, a look of doubt initially appearing on his face, but it was quickly replaced by undisguised excitement. "What? Really? Tell me!"
Mo Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Li Laosan, and said, word by word, "Li Laosan, I have only one request: you must immediately go through the divorce proceedings with my eldest sister, and from now on, the two of you must have no further connection!"
Upon hearing this, Li Laosan fell into deep thought. On one hand, there was the readily available mushroom cultivation technology; on the other, the option of completely severing ties with his wife. What should he choose? His heart began to pound with inner turmoil…
"Li Laosan, have you lost your mind? At this critical juncture, you're still thinking about those few stinking coins! Come with me now! Can't you see? He's clearly just trying to trick you and stall for time!"
If they really wanted to give you money, why didn't they do it sooner? They'd beat you up first and then kick you out!
Standing to the side, his companion, whose arm was already broken, saw Li Laosan hesitating and became furious, his face turning red with rage. He wanted nothing more than to rush over and slap him to bring him to his senses. He shouted anxiously, "Stop dawdling! Let's go! As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback! Once we escape, we'll have plenty of opportunities to get revenge later!"
Hearing his companion's words, Li Laosan felt as if his heart was in turmoil, torn with painful conflict.
On the one hand, if he could exchange it for money, it would be a considerable sum for him; on the other hand, the current situation was so critical that if he didn't get away quickly, he might get beaten up again.
After a fierce internal struggle, Li Laosan gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and finally made up his mind to listen to his companion's advice.
"Okay, whatever you say, let's go!"
