Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1175 is quite a strange story.
Wang An's solid kick, if it weren't for the fact that the old Taoist was wearing thick cotton-padded trousers and a big cotton-padded coat, would have undoubtedly shattered his testicles.

However, as is well known, even if a man's testicles recover after being attacked, he will be in a very weak state for a short period of time.

This state of weakness is mainly manifested in feeling weak all over, and even walking feels incredibly difficult.

So just as the old Taoist priest was jumping around for a long time and gradually recovering, Wang An, who had been waiting for a long time, made his move.

When Wang An takes action, it's naturally with overwhelming force.

The old Taoist priest was subjected to a barrage of attacks: a door-blocking throw, a single palm strike to push the monument, an elbow strike to intercept the belt, a kick to the throat, and so on.

Because his testicles were kicked violently, the old Taoist priest lost his previous fighting ability and couldn't even effectively defend himself.

So soon, the old Taoist priest was beaten so badly by Wang An that it was a sight to behold.

When the old Taoist priest was knocked to the ground and lay there yelling incoherently, Wang An abandoned his fighting style and started kicking and stomping him like a thug in a brawl.

However, it must be admitted that although this old Taoist priest was quite old, he was actually quite resilient.

By the end of the kicking and stomping, Wang An was exhausted, but the old Taoist priest still hadn't fainted and was still groaning and moaning endlessly.

At this moment, the proprietress was already standing there frozen, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The owner, who ran out after hearing the commotion, was completely dumbfounded. He was utterly bewildered that such a big thing had happened while he was just cooking.

After kicking and stomping the old Taoist priest, Wang An turned around and, panting, said to Mu Xueli:
"Xue Li, go pack the food into lunchboxes, we're leaving."

Mu Xueli agreed and headed straight for the kitchen. Seeing this, the owner finally realized what was happening and quickly tried to stop her with a forced smile.

"Hey bro, the food isn't finished yet, just two dishes left to cook. Why don't you wait a bit longer?"

After what has happened, how could Wang Anda possibly continue buying food here?
To put it bluntly, if they continued cooking, Wang An was afraid that the owner and his wife would poison the food. Even if they didn't poison it, just spitting into the food would be disgusting enough.

So after the boss finished speaking, Wang An glared at him fiercely, which immediately made the boss tremble in fright.

Then Wang An turned to Mu Xueli, who had stopped, and said:

"Go, make a few and pack them, don't bother with the ones you didn't make."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xueli hurriedly ran towards the kitchen while agreeing:
"Okay, brother-in-law."

To be honest, Wang An never expected that just because he was being nosy and showing off to the boss and his wife that he had given birth to twins would cause so much trouble.

The main problem is that they got into a fight for no reason, it's just like that every day. As for the matter of "sharing some good fortune," Wang An also knew about it, or rather, everyone in the area knew about it.

Ultimately, this is the same as "borrowing luck," "borrowing wealth," or "borrowing power"—it's all superstition.

It's strange, though, that these things, which are all based on some vague and intangible things, can often be transformed into something tangible.

For example, regarding the matter of "borrowing luck," if a ginseng gang goes into the mountains to dig for ginseng and fails to find anything, the gang leader will consider replacing one or two members of the gang, or adding two new members.

Thanks to the newcomer's "good fortune," the ginseng gang often reaps rewards when they return to the mountains.

Another example is "borrowing wealth energy." In his previous life, when Wang An was managing casinos, he saw many people who completely turned their lives around by borrowing the wealth energy of others.

Of course, this kind of thing is simpler to do; to put it bluntly, it's just borrowing money, and you only need to borrow a small amount.

But this kind of thing must be stated clearly: when a gambler borrows money from someone, he must directly tell that person, "I need to borrow some money from you to gamble." If the person receiving the money agrees, it is equivalent to lending their wealth to the other party.

It's amazing how these gamblers, after receiving "good fortune," often dominate the gambling table. Even if they can't turn their fortunes around, many of them can at least recoup their losses.

Of course, whether it's "borrowing luck" or "borrowing wealth," the people who want to borrow are those who are relatively fortunate, such as those from well-off families, successful in their careers, with loving mothers and filial children, and so on.

As for those who are poor and destitute, lazy and struggling to make ends meet, they are generally not the targets of lending.

It's just that it's best not to talk about it. If you were to talk about things like these, anyone who heard it would think it's superstition and impossible. But the strange thing is that these things always seem to happen.

Wang An disagreed with letting anyone share in his child's "good fortune" for two reasons. Firstly, the child was too young, and Wang An didn't want anything unknown, such as the two wooden sticks, to get close to his child.

On the other hand, it was because Wang An saw that those who "borrowed things" turned their lives around, but he also saw what happened to those who "borrowed things" in the end.

People with abundant good fortune have no trouble with trivial matters, but many people who lend things out may not have enough "good fortune" of their own, because lending out a little means they lose a little, so they gradually become lonely and may even end up with a bad ending.

Wang An summarized all of this into one sentence: "Don't easily get involved in other people's karma," especially those who have nothing to do with you.

Soon, Mu Xueli came out of the kitchen with the food. Wang An looked at the dishes: egg custard, braised pork, braised pork ribs, and stir-fried pork with ginger. Wang An calculated the price and then took out a 100-yuan note and threw it on the table.

In fact, since the restaurant didn't require meat coupons, 10 yuan wouldn't be enough for these dishes, but Wang An was willing to eat for free since he was just being honest.

Although the couple's attempt to "share in the good fortune" was a complete mess, their attitude remained consistently good, so Wang An didn't bother arguing with them.

At this moment, Wang An looked fierce and menacing. There was also an old rascal lying on the restaurant floor who was neither a monk nor a Taoist priest. So after Wang An threw down 10 yuan, the owner and his wife didn't dare to say anything. Wang An glared at the owner and his wife with his eyelids, then picked up the bag containing the lunchbox and walked outside.
