A small plot of land in a mountain village

Yeah, I almost fell for Fatty's trick. We've known each other for so long, but he still loves to brag. He's probably not trustworthy unless it's something important, in which case Fan Ming might believe him.

"Haha! Now that you mention it, I do feel my legs are a bit sore. I should take a break." I sit in the office all the time, and I get tired after standing for a short while.

Seeing that Fan Ming didn't believe him, the fat man snorted, "Damn it. You don't believe me, huh? Just wait until the banyan tree is covered in purple leaves, and you'll be shocked!"

"Your estate is really impressive. Are they building a road over there?" Fan Ming asked casually, listening to the noisy construction crew.

"Yeah, we just contracted a hill over there. We're building a road to make it easier to get there."

At first glance, this place seems too small, more like a small mountain village than a large place, but it is still a very nice location nestled against the mountain.

The scenery, environment, and air quality are all top-notch! I've been to many places in Fanming Mountain Villa, and this place ranks highly in my mind.

The two emerged from the corner and saw the thugs scrambling along the concrete road, chasing a mountain rat ahead, while Jixiang landed on the concrete in the distance.

"That's... a crocodile?" Fan Ming asked uncertainly.

"How about it? This is a live crocodile. It doesn't bite. I often go and pull its big tail when nothing's wrong." The fat man said smugly to Fan Ming.

The crocodile was chasing the mountain rat, and a giant blue bird came into Fan Ming's view. This mountain resort was truly a place where hidden talents resided; the crocodile alone could probably attract many tourists.

But there don't seem to be many tourists here?

"Your resort seems deserted. Is business bad?"

Almost everyone who comes here asks this question, and I just smile and reply, "This place just opened, so we haven't crashed yet. We welcome people when they come, and it's no problem if no one comes."

Staring at the crocodile, he said, "What a pity."

I don't know whether to feel sorry for the crocodile or for the resort.

The running mountain rat had only run a short distance when the red shadow landed, scaring it so much that it turned and fled in a different direction.

These mountain rats were larger than ordinary house rats, and their meat tasted good, but Zhang Niu didn't eat them much, always associating them with the rats in his house.

The mountain rat, which had been fleeing in all directions, eventually fell into the gaping maw of the thugs. It then swayed and darted into the pond, disappearing from sight in an instant.

The pond is now covered with water chestnut leaves, which cover the entire pond. Only in the middle, Zhang Niu has used four bamboo poles to form a square so that the fish can come out to breathe.

The thug went into the water, and Jixiang flapped its wings and soared upwards, followed by several red shadows. On Jixiang's back, two shadows were also visible: a cat and the little guy.

"Your place has so many animals, many of which I've never seen before. It's a rare opportunity. If I hadn't come today, I would have missed a great chance." Although I only saw them from a distance, they left a deep impression on me.

"The resort is so quiet, we need to keep some animals to add some atmosphere," he replied with a smile.

The group sat down on bamboo chairs, but Fan Ming's eyes were fixed on the outside. Fatty looked out and saw Big Wolf and his gang, each with some kind of animal in their mouths, running towards the kitchen.

Pointing at the large wolf that had run away, he said, "Is this your dog? It looks a lot like a wolf, with those bluish fur."

"Ha ha ha ha"

The fat man burst into laughter after hearing this, "I'm dying of laughter, Fan Ming, can't you even think of wolves? It's hilarious to call them dogs."

The big belly bobbed up and down, showing how much the fat guy was laughing.

"Wolf?" From the fat man's words, Fan Ming understood what he meant: this is a wolf, not a dog. You need to be careful and keep your eyes open. Don't talk nonsense.

"It's a wolf, what a surprise! Just don't bother these guys. Next time you come, make sure to use the main entrance, don't come from other places, or you'll be dragged into the woods and eaten, and nobody will know." The fat man laughed as he threatened Fan Ming.

The fat man's words made Fan Ming's skin crawl. This place was infested with wolves and crocodiles. Wasn't he afraid that the department would come and take it back?

However, what they didn't know was that the wolf and the crocodile were already registered and certified. As long as Zhang Niu didn't bite anyone, there would be no problem, since it was on file.

"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense. It's fine. As long as you don't provoke the big wolves, they're pretty safe. There's no need to worry, and there's proof of that."

That's right. With money in hand, what kind of certificate can't you get? Obviously, Fan Ming misunderstood and thought that the certificate was bought with money, but the actual content was quite different.

"Why do you always have to sabotage me? I really wanted to scare that kid Fan Ming this time, but you always manage to mess things up like this." The fat man was extremely annoyed.

"If you set up a fruit farm here, you'll attract more tourists, and since your orchard is currently in its harvest season, it will boost your reputation significantly," the businessman immediately suggested.

Zhang Niu smiled slightly. "Good wine needs no bush. There's no rush. Besides, there's road construction going on here. There are a lot of problems, and I don't really like more tourists."

It turns out they were just using the excuse that good wine needs no bush, which is a bit outdated for businessmen, like Jiang Taigong fishing—wait and see if the fishermen are willing to take the bait.

Fan Ming naturally wouldn't say much. After all, this orchard wasn't his, so he could do whatever he wanted. He wasn't going to help with this matter; he only came over because he was bored.

"Old Zhang, where are you going?" Fatty shouted at the top of his lungs when he saw Chairman Zhang rushing out.

Chairman Zhang stopped and walked towards the bamboo pavilion.

"I had some things to take care of at home, so I'm going back for a bit. Sweetie's about to start her vacation, so I'll pick her up then," he said with a smile.

Oh, I see. It's already mid-June, and school holidays are coming up soon. I think Tian Tian is in kindergarten, so it's fine for her to have an early holiday.

"Alright, then we'll help Tian Tian prepare a small house." Zhang Niu had a deep impression of Tian Tian, ​​Chairman Zhang's granddaughter; the little girls were always busy.

Watching the car drive away, Fan Ming then stood up.

"The banyan tree is alive, I've seen something amazing. I'll head back now and come back in a while."

"Alright, take care on your journey."

"Come again when you have time. I was thinking of having a few drinks with you at noon, but that'll have to wait until next time." The fat man's plans were dashed.

The car sped off and disappeared down the slope.

"This kid doesn't even taste good wine. I'm going to have a few drinks at noon. It seems like the big wolf just came back with some wild game. I'll go check it out."

Damn, this guy has sharp eyes; he can even tell when a wolf has brought in some wild game. He's so eager to go check.

However, recently, Big Wolf and Little Black have been frequently bringing back pheasants and rabbits. Fatty is thrilled every day, as these are genuine wild game.

This is even more authentic than what you get in restaurants. With Chef Liang Shan here, Fatty can just wait to start eating and get several bottles of plum wine from Zhang Niu.

Near this mountain village, there are many pheasants, rabbits, and even ducks. Although the grass is thick, it does not hinder the wolves' footsteps.

The most ridiculous thing was that a brood of pheasants over there in the chicken coop scared the wolves so much that they stayed in the coop for days. It was because the wolves initially thought the pheasants were wild animals and chased after them.

I went back into the house to wash the clothes I had worn over the past few days. After all, I was single, so I still needed to wash my clothes, especially since there was well water available.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I found that the little one who had been with Jixiang earlier had returned and was squatting on the edge of the threshold, staring at a plant in front of him.

This made Zhang Niu curious. How could a piece of tender yellow vine have appeared in the house? At first, he thought it was sticking in from outside through a corner.

But after walking around for a while, I couldn't find any place where the vines extended in.

They could only run back inside. What they saw there was astonishing: the pale yellow vine, which had been only about a meter long, had suddenly grown to three meters. The little one stared wide-eyed, curiously examining the pale yellow vine.

Normally, vines need something to support them, but this vine doesn't need any external force. It stands straight up.

He moved a chair over and sat down. He rested his head on his palms, filled with questions about the vine that had suddenly sprouted.

Looking at the threshold, a sudden thought flashed through Zhang Niu's mind. Seeing the threshold, Zhang Niu realized that this was the place where Little One had fallen last night without looking where he was going.

Yes, I was feeling sorry for this seven-colored leaf back then, but vines sprouted this morning, and they even grew on this hard cement ground.

Although many strange things have happened since this space came into existence, I am still curious about everything that happens each time, and I never get tired of it.

After staring at the vine for only a short while, the tendrils that stretched out from the vine were already hanging on the roof beam. This speed was faster than the rise of stocks, and the pale yellow color turned transparent.

It changed from transparent to green again. The transparent color that appeared just now really startled Zhang Niu. If it were transparent, someone would definitely take it to the research lab and use it as a guinea pig for research.

The tendrils of the vine struck the roof beam and embedded themselves firmly there, while the tendrils in mid-air slowly withered. Zhang Niu thought that would be the end of it.

Who knew that after the tendrils withered, they produced strands of silk that hung down, and then tender green leaves sprouted from the vines, and a new green leaf emerged.

I thought it would sprout seven-colored leaves, but it turned out to be a tender green. That's fine too; having such a plant at home adds a lot of atmosphere.

Whether this vine will live a long time is unknown, but the cats in the house love to play, and they'll probably be overjoyed to see it.

The cat now follows Jixiang around all day, always hiding in the feathers. The higher it rises, the more afraid the cat hiding in the feathers is of looking down. It's just too high, and it's very scared.

Birds that are afraid of heights are very rare these days.

The little creature squatting on the ground suddenly made a squeaking sound, and the pulled-out threads, without any wind in the room, all tangled together, forming a bird's nest.

"This isn't going to be used as a bird's nest, is it?" Zhang Niu muttered to himself. The vine's change was too sudden. He thought it had grown to a normal size, but it was still changing.
