I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei landed in the woods behind the village and was not seen by anyone.

He emerged from the woods and walked along the village road into the village.

The afternoon sun was particularly scorching.

A group of people gathered under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

The police car was still parked there, its door open.

Several police officers were preparing to lift the five poachers into the police car.

As the stretcher passed by, the villagers who had gathered there made way for it, but their eyes were filled with disgust and anger.

"Human traffickers! They all deserve to die!"

"Kill them!"

Some people picked up clods of dirt, others picked up stones, preparing to throw them onto the stretcher.

Upon seeing this, the police officers quickly stopped the villagers who were about to throw clods of dirt and dissuaded them.

"No, no, no! Folks, calm down! The law will punish them!"

They still threw a few clods of dirt and stones at us.

Some of the impacts landed on the stretchers, but most of them hit the people in the stretchers.

Scarface huddled up, burying his face in the stretcher, too afraid to lift his head.

The others were in a similar state, lying there like dead dogs, letting clods of dirt and stones rain down on them.

Luo Fei came to the edge of the crowd and watched this scene.

Liu Qiang was the first to see him.

"Brother Fei!"

He pushed through the crowd and ran over.

"Fei-ge, you're back! Are you alright?"

Luo Fei shook his head.

"fine."

Liu Qiang looked him up and down, then breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head, and smiled.

Beside him, Shi Tou's father, Liu Bin, walked over carrying Shi Tou.

Liu Bin, in his early thirties, with dark skin, was the kind of honest, simple farmer who looked exhausted at the moment.

He walked up to it, put the stone down, and then...

He knelt down with a thud.

"Xiao Fei! I'm kowtowing to you!"

Luo Fei was so frightened that he jumped to the side and quickly reached out to help him up.

"Brother Bin, what are you doing! Get up!"

"Xiaofei, he's my only son. If anything happens to Shitou, I won't live either..."

"You saved Shi Tou, which is to say you saved my life!"

He struggled to kowtow again.

Luo Fei helped him up.

"Brother Bin, don't do this. We're all from the same village; anyone would have saved us."

Liu Bin wiped away his tears, his lips trembling.

"Xiao Fei, I may not have any special skills, but I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

Luo Fei patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, alright, it's good that the child is alright. Go back and rest well to calm your nerves."

Luo Yuanzhi also walked over from the side.

Luo Yuanzhi and Luo Fei are of the same generation, so according to seniority, Luo Fei should call him "brother".

He held Xiaoyu in his arms, his eyes red.

"Xiaofei, thank you too."

He spoke more fluently than Liu Bin, but his voice was still trembling.

"Xiaoyu's mother was waiting at home. When she heard that her child had been found, she fainted on the spot. She just woke up and insisted on coming to thank you in person, but I told her to stay home and rest."

Luo Fei waved his hand.

"Brother Yuanzhi, I told you not to be so polite. Is Xiaoyu alright?"

Luo Yuanzhi looked down at his daughter in his arms.

Xiaoyu was asleep, nestled on her father's shoulder.

There were still tear stains on her little face, but she was sleeping soundly.

"It's nothing, I was just scared, and I was hungry and sleepy," Luo Yuanzhi said. "I ate something when I got back and then fell asleep."

Luo Fei nodded.

"That's good. Let her get a good night's sleep."

Luo Yuanzhi looked at him and nodded emphatically.

"Xiao Fei, if you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

Luo Fei smiled.

"Okay, got it."

The crowd gradually dispersed.

The police car, carrying the poachers, drove towards the county town.

The protected animals in those cages were carefully lifted onto a vehicle by people from the forestry bureau, ready to be sent for treatment and resettlement.

Liu Qiang followed Luo Fei toward the farmhouse.

"Brother Fei, how many years do you think those people will get?"

Luo Fei thought for a moment.

"have no idea."

"But those two legs will be something they'll remember for a lifetime."

Liu Qiang paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"That's true. Even if they get out, they won't be able to do anything bad."

Along the way, Luo Fei's gaze swept over the scenes of the village.

Several elderly people sat in front of their homes, basking in the sun and chatting idly.

Not far away, several children were chasing and playing in the alley, their laughter ringing out.

Further away, in the fields, several hunched figures were working, bent over.

It was almost entirely elderly people; there weren't many young people.

Luo Fei withdrew his gaze.

He thought of his childhood.

Back then, there were many children in the village, and as soon as school was over, the whole village was filled with children running around.

They went up the mountain to raid bird nests and down to the river to catch fish and shrimp.

The adults were busy in the fields and couldn't keep an eye on things.

Every summer vacation, I hear about children drowning or going missing in nearby villages and towns.

Luckily, it was found.

Bad luck...

He snapped out of his thoughts and continued walking forward.

"Qiangzi," he suddenly said.

Liu Qiang turned to look at him.

"Um?"

"How many young people do you think are left in our village?"

Liu Qiang paused for a moment, then thought about it.

"There aren't many left. Everyone who could go out has gone out, some to work, some to start businesses."

"Those who remain in the village are mostly elderly people and children."

Luo Fei nodded.

"Are those children usually cared for by the elderly?"

Liu Qiang gave a wry smile.

"Take care of them? The elderly are busy with farm work. It's good enough if they can keep an eye on them and not wander off. When they get busy, they can't take care of them at all."

He sighed.

"This incident happened because several adults took their children up the mountain to play. The adults were too busy playing and didn't keep a close eye on the children, who then got lost."

Luo Fei remained silent for a while.

Then he looked up and gazed in the direction of the village.

"I want to build an activity center in the village."

Liu Qiang was stunned.

"What?"

"An activity center," Luo Fei said, "a place for the elderly and children to stay."

"The elderly can play chess, cards, and chat there. Children can play, do their homework, and watch TV there."

"Find a few kind-hearted elderly people who have time to watch over the children, and they won't run around."

After listening, Liu Qiang's eyes slowly widened.

"Brother Fei, this must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Luo Fei shook his head.

"I'll take care of the money."

Liu Qiang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

We've arrived at the farmhouse.

Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan were sitting in the courtyard, talking to several people.

Luo Ying, Zhao Lin, and Chu Yue were standing nearby.

Upon seeing Luo Fei enter, Luo Ying was the first to rush over.

"Brother! You're back!"

Zhao Lin also ran over.

Luo Fei rubbed their heads.

"fine."

Luo Weidong stood up, walked over, looked Luo Fei up and down, and only relaxed his tense expression after confirming that his son was alright.

"It's good that you're back."

Li Xiulan also came over and took Luo Fei's hand.

"Come on, let's eat first."

Several people sat around a stone table in the courtyard.

The food was still warm, clearly left on purpose.

While eating, Luo Fei shared his thoughts.

"Dad, Mom, I want to build an activity center in the village."

Luo Weidong was stunned for a moment.

"Activity center?"

"Hmm." Luo Fei put down his chopsticks. "You all saw what happened today. There are few young people in the village, the elderly are busy with farm work, and the children are left unattended and running around everywhere."

"Something happens almost every year, either in our village or in other towns. This year it was Shi Tou and Xiao Yu, who knows who it will be next year."

"I want to build a place where the elderly and children can have activities."

"The elderly can relax and play chess there, and children can play there. If a few kind-hearted elderly people are assigned to watch over them, nothing will happen."

After listening, Luo Weidong remained silent for a while.

Then he looked at Li Xiulan.

Li Xiulan was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other and then nodded.

"Okay," Luo Weidong said. "That's a good thing."

"How do you plan to build it?"

Luo Fei thought for a moment.

"I'll go find the village chief first and ask if there's any suitable land in the village."

Luo Weidong looked at him.

"Xiao Fei, this is no small amount."

Luo Fei smiled.

"Dad, I know what I'm doing."

Luo Weidong said nothing more.

After finishing his meal, Luo Fei went directly to the village committee.

Village chief Luo Youfu was sitting in his office, wearing reading glasses, looking at documents.

Luo Fei knocked on the door.

"Uncle Fu."

Luo Youfu looked up, saw that it was Luo Fei, and smiled.

"Xiao Fei's here? Come in and have a seat."

Luo Fei went in and sat down in a chair.

Luo Youfu poured him a glass of water.

"I heard you went into the mountains to rescue people today? Did you find those two children?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"Luckily, we found it."

Luo Youfu gave a thumbs up.

"Well done!"

Luo Fei smiled but didn't reply.

He took a sip of water and then stated his purpose directly.

"Uncle Youfu, I've come to see you because there's something I'd like to discuss."

Luo Youfu put down his water glass.

"you say."

Luo Fei explained his thoughts.

After listening, Luo Youfu remained silent for a long time.

Then he took off his reading glasses, looked at Luo Fei, and his eyes were very complicated.

"Xiaofei, are you telling the truth?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"real."

Luo Youfu stood up and paced around the room a few times.

Then he turned back and looked at Luo Fei.

"The village will definitely support this."

"I'll figure out the land issue. There are plenty of vacant lots in our village; we just need to find a suitable one."

"As for money..."

Luo Fei interrupted him.

"Uncle Fu, I'll take care of the money."

"The village doesn't need to contribute, and the villagers don't need to chip in; I'll cover it all."

Luo Youfu was stunned.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But seeing Luo Fei's calm expression, he swallowed his words.

"Alright, with you saying that, Uncle Fu will risk his reputation to get this done!"

Luo Fei smiled.

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Fu. I'll contact the designer first and have the drawings done."

Luo Youfu patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiaofei, on behalf of all the men, women, and children in the village, thank you."

Luo Fei shook his head.

"It's all as it should be."

I came out of the village committee.

Luo Fei drove back to the villa with his two younger sisters and Chu Yue.

Along the way, Luo Ying and Zhao Lin chatted noisily in the back row.

Chu Yue sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking out the window.

Back at the villa, Luo Fei had his two younger sisters continue practicing the second set of movements before returning to his room.

I thought of asking class monitor Su Wanqing for help in designing the activity center.

He was about to call the class monitor.

My phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the screen.

An unfamiliar number, from Shanghai.

The call was connected.

"Feed?"

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

The accent was a bit strange.

With a distinctly Japanese accent.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Luo Fei?"

Luo Fei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"it's me."

"Mr. Luo Fei, I apologize for disturbing you. I am the head of the China branch of Yamamoto Corporation. My name is Yamamoto Ichiro."

"We'd like to discuss a business deal with you."

"When would be a convenient time for you to come to Shanghai?"
