"Who is it? Are you sick in the head?" Two loud shouts came from upstairs, followed by two young men in their early twenties walking out angrily.
However, upon seeing the three people in the courtyard, the two immediately lost their momentum. One of them, the taller one, pointed at Ye Cheng and said,
"Ye Cheng, what are you trying to do?"
The tall man is the older brother, Chen Zhangfu.
Ye Cheng looked at the two of them, then turned around and waved to Xiao Hu. Xiao Hu immediately threw out a cage and dropped it on the ground.
Do you recognize this one?
The two brothers' expressions changed drastically upon seeing the cage, but they quickly returned to normal.
"What does it have to do with us that your cage was broken out? What do you want by barging into my house now? Do you think the Chen family has no one to rely on?" Chen Zhangfu said, his tone fierce but his voice weak.
"That's right, what are you trying to do? Get out of here!" Chen Zhanglong said guiltily, pointing at Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng glanced at the two of them and said sternly, "I only threw out a cage, I didn't even say that it was my cage that someone took out, and you two know that, and you still dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Chen Zhangfu and Chen Zhanglong were dumbfounded; this was an admission of guilt.
"You, you mustn't do anything reckless! I'm telling you, my uncle lives right next door." Chen Zhanglong was feeling incredibly guilty and just wanted to intimidate Ye Cheng first.
"I'm not doing anything reckless, I'm just here to tell you!" Ye Cheng shouted, holding the stick in his hand.
"Anyone who bullies me will come to a bad end!"
"beat!"
As Ye Cheng pointed his stick, the three of them pounced on the Chen brothers.
Three against two, and they came with weapons; the two were instantly knocked to the ground.
Ye Cheng really went all out this time, wielding a stick and slapping the two men on their bodies and thighs. Forget about minor injuries, they'd definitely be in pain.
"stop!"
An angry voice came from behind.
Ye Cheng stopped what he was doing and looked back. His expression hardened. What was bound to happen had finally happened.
Behind him, Chen Jinhai led a group of relatives, a large group of about 20 people, young and old, blocking the entrance.
"Ye Cheng, how dare you hit someone?" Chen Jinhai was so angry when he saw his two nephews rolling on the ground that his beard bristled.
"Hey, the village chief is here. I'm not here to hit anyone, don't misunderstand. I'm here to catch the thief who stole my trap."
Ye Chengcai isn't stupid; he admitted to hitting someone.
"Bullshit! Ye Lao Er, you're just spouting nonsense. Coming to our Chen family to beat people up, I think you're asking for death."
You must give me an explanation today!
Before Chen Jinhai could even speak, the Chen family members behind him started shouting.
They were carrying hoes and wooden sticks, which were essential items for fighting in the countryside.
Facing a group of 20-plus people, Ye Cheng snorted coldly. Instead of retreating, he advanced two steps forward with a dark face, scanning each person with his eyes.
Those sharp eyes sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
Walking to the fish trap, Ye Cheng pointed his stick downwards and shouted.
"You want an explanation, huh? Then who's going to explain my fish trap?"
"So you're not going to follow any rules anymore? Stealing other people's fish traps? How can you even bring yourself to say that?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone fell silent.
We're all fishermen, so we should all have some shame and some bottom line.
You can fight, you can swear, but you can't steal someone else's fish catch. If you take someone else's fish traps, the whole village will curse you.
Seeing that his side's momentum was waning, Chen Jinhai immediately shouted,
"Bullshit, Ye Lao Er, don't try to frame me. What evidence do you have?"
Chen Jinhai's question immediately sparked an uproar among the crowd, "That's right, you're being made up without any evidence."
"That's right, that's right, whatever you say."
Ye Cheng pointed to the two people still lying on the ground behind him, "Evidence? They've already admitted it. And if I'm not mistaken, they should have sold the goods at the dock yesterday. Just go to the dock and ask. What other evidence do we need?"
Seeing Ye Cheng's confident and assertive words, everyone was at a loss for words and turned to look at Chen Jinhai.
Chen Jinhai's face darkened. These two nephews were truly useless. They did it, but they still managed to get caught red-handed. Really.
"Well, you can't hit people. Also, you've offended the Dragon King of the Sea. They're just trying to help you avoid committing any more sins."
Chen Jinhai had nothing to say, and the conversation turned to the Dragon King of the Sea again.
Before Ye Cheng could speak, he heard Ye Guowei's furious voice from behind him, "Bullshit! Chen Jinhai, if you say my brother offended the Dragon King of the Sea again, I'll beat you to death."
Ye Cheng glanced back and saw that Ye Guowei's originally honest and upright face was now terrifyingly ferocious, his two blood-red eyes staring at Chen Jinhai.
Chen Jinhai sneered, "Your second son has offended the Sea Dragon King. The old master said that even if they took your family's fish trap today, it's all for your own good. You must give an explanation."
"Explain my ass!" Ye Guowei shouted, then let out a beastly growl from his throat, and charged out from behind Ye Cheng. Before anyone could notice, he kicked Chen Jinhai away.
"Damn it! They've made their move, Little Tiger!"
Damn it, since the older brother has already made a move, Ye Cheng doesn't want to waste any more words. This matter was never going to end well anyway.
In Crow's words, "Difficult to handle? Then don't do it!"
Let's flip the table and beat this up!
Although the Chen family had a large number of members, they never expected the Ye family to dare to make the first move, and were caught off guard.
The most pitiful one was Chen Jinhai. He was too old to run and was kicked several times by Ye Guowei, almost breaking his old bones.
Two of Chen Jinhai's brothers rushed out from behind him and swung their hoes at Ye Guowei.
"Big brother, watch out!" Ye Cheng shouted as soon as he saw something was wrong. He then kicked the two brothers in the waist, knocking them down. Ye Cheng didn't care whether they were on the head or the feet, and swung the sticks at their feet.
The scene immediately descended into chaos. Xiao Hu, not to be outdone, single-handedly confronted three Chen family men on the right, beating them until they fled in terror, and the Chen family members were filled with wails of agony.
Despite their fierceness, two fists can't fight four hands, and before long, each of the three had taken several blows.
In the chaos, Xiao Hu was hit on the forehead by a hoe, and blood instantly flowed down his face.
"Xiao Hu, are you alright?" Ye Cheng's chest heaved rapidly as he gasped for breath, the fight having taken its toll.
Little Tiger gently wiped his face, his face covered in blood, making him look like a demon from his already fierce appearance.
He grinned, revealing white teeth amidst the red, "Brother, this is nothing."
Ye Cheng laughed heartily, "Good!"
He looked at Ye Guowei again. Ye Guowei was as strong as an ox. He had been hit several times, his clothes were torn, and his face was cut in several places, but he was not seriously injured.
