Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Yes. Didn't you hear what he said? Seven dogs went into the mountains, five died, one broke its leg, and the fate of another is unknown. It's too dangerous. How could you still agree to go up the mountain with him?"

Su Yuehe was timid and her face was full of worry.

Just as Zhao Chunyan and Lin Wanqiu were about to speak up to dissuade him, Liu Bei glanced at them and said, "Mother, Wanqiu, Chunyan, Yuehe, fortune favors the bold. Besides, I've killed bears before, haven't I? Last time it was a male. This is just a female bear, no need to worry. If you really want to worry, you should be worried about whether you'll eat bear paws or bear gallbladders after I bring the female bear back!"

Zhao Da'e: "..."

Lin Wanqiu and the other two: "..."

That's what they said, but the four women were still unsure.

Especially Zhao Da'e,

Since her husband left, she has raised her son single-handedly with great difficulty. Now that her son has finally gotten back on the right track, life is getting better and better, and a new house is about to be built. At this moment, she really doesn't want her son to take any more risks.

"Mother, listen to this!" Liu Bei hugged his youngest daughter, Liu Nian, tightly. "Why is Nian Nian crying like this? It's because she feels sorry for those hunting dogs! The hunting dogs are our brothers, how can we sit idly by when something happens to our brothers?"

"Besides, if we don't catch that mother bear, she might harm people again someday. As a child of the mountains, I have a responsibility and an obligation to go! That's settled then."

"Knock knock knock~"

The voice just fell,

There was a knock on the door.

Liu Bei turned around and saw that Fan Shuanzhu and his son Fan Ha'er, Old Tan and his son Tan Si, and Li Dazhuang had all arrived.

"Xiao Bei, are we ready to go?" Fan Shuanzhu asked with a smile.

"Mom, can you see? Uncle Shuanzhu is with me. It's alright. You all don't need to worry. Just stay home and wait for me to come back!"

After putting his youngest daughter down on the ground, Liu Bei walked towards the storage room.

He took the hunting rifle and quickly walked outside.

"Be very careful!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her son, Zhao Da'e had no choice but to give up, but she still chased after him.

Lin Wanqiu, Zhao Chunyan, Su Yuehe, and the three children also ran out one after another.

"Mother, Wanqiu, Chunyan, Yuehe, you should all go back."

With a wave of his hand, Liu Bei led Fan Shuanzhu and the others away.

Watching their backs,

The further you walk, the fainter it becomes; the further you walk, the fainter it becomes.

For some reason, Zhao Da'e and the other three women felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

"Hoo hoo~"

Suddenly,

A gust of wind blew by.

It was clearly hot air.

For some reason, all four women, including Zhao Da'e, shivered at the same time.

"Mother!" Su Yuehe gripped Zhao Da'e's wrist tightly. "Liu Bei... he won't be in trouble, will he?"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunyan spat several times in displeasure, "What nonsense are you talking about? Haven't you experienced how accurate that guy's marksmanship is? Want him to let you have a taste?"

Su Yuehe: "..."

He hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "I...I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, ''? Su Yuehe, you remember this. He's our man, a sharpshooter, and has plenty of bullets. He'll definitely kill the mother bear and return safely. If you spout any more nonsense, I'll sew your mouth shut right now!"

Su Yuehe: "..."

He paused for a moment, then quickly shut his mouth.

After giving Liu Bei a disapproving look, Zhao Chunyan's gaze returned to his departing figure.

She was even more anxious than Su Yuehe: You wretched man, you absolutely can't be hurt! I haven't even learned how to shoot a gun yet. You absolutely have to come back safely and teach me how to shoot! Otherwise, if you die there, I won't let your corpse rest in peace.

At this moment, Lin Wanqiu's face was also full of worry.

However, she didn't say anything, her gaze fixed on Liu Bei's back.

I prayed for Liu Bei in my heart.

Liu Bei, Panpan hasn't started school yet, and she's not married yet. You must come back alive, personally take her to school, and hand her over to your son-in-law in the future.

As for Zhao Da'e, watching her son's increasingly faint figure, tears welled up in her old eyes.

The head of the household,

You must bless Xiao Bei to return safely from heaven.

If anything were to happen to him, the sky would fall on the Liu family.

I'm talking to you, can you hear me?

Please bless my son, please!

When he returns safely, I...I will burn a stack of paper money for you.

The three children beside him watched their father's receding figure grow increasingly faint.

Panpan looked down at her small backpack, clenched her fist, and said, "Daddy, you'll definitely come back safely, right? I'm waiting for you to take me to school!"

"Daddy, save the dog, Daddy, save the dog!" the little girl Liu Nian kept repeating.

"Biubiubiu~" Xiao Bao raised his toy gun and kept firing, "Daddy, biubiubiu bear, Daddy, biubiubiubiu bear..."

……

After ten minutes,

At the foot of Da Liu Mountain.

Looking at the rolling, majestic Da Liu Mountain...

Without looking back, Liu Bei led Fan Ha'er and the others into the mountains.

A moment later,

They appeared at a fork in the road.

"Look, what's that?"

Suddenly, Li Dazhuang, who had sharp eyes, exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Bei and the others looked in the direction of the sound.

But then I saw a Chinese rural dog lying under a tree on the left side of the road at the fork in the road ahead.

The country dog's fur was completely black, without a single stray hair.

At this moment, he was covered in blood and lay motionless on the ground.

It looks extremely tragic.

"Could it be the hunting dog that Ai Changhe and the others couldn't find?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up. "Let's go take a look!"

The voice just fell,

The black Chinese rural dog actually struggled to its feet again.

It appears that the abdomen was slashed open by a sharp object.

A little bit of the intestines were sticking out.

Blood kept dripping down.

The injuries were very serious.

But even so,

It dragged its badly injured body, step by step, leaving a trail of bloody footprints, towards the foot of the mountain.

"How terrible!" Fan Ha'er frowned deeply. "Brother Bei, it's injured like this, how come it still wants to stand up and walk around? What does it want to do? Does it want to catch prey again?"

"No! It's not trying to catch prey!" Liu Bei shook his head, frowning. "It wants to go home!"

"Go home?" Fan Ha'er was stunned.

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si were also stunned.

Fan Shuanzhu and Old Tan nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Bei is right. It wants to go home!"

"As a hunting dog, its home is with its master. Its master raised it, and its roots are already intertwined with his. If its master were to meet with misfortune, it would not choose to live on. But if its master is still alive, if it doesn't die, it will find its master and return to his side!"

"It probably knows its owner is still alive, so it wants to go home and return to its owner's side!"

"Huh?" Fan Ha'er was stunned after hearing these words. "But...but it's already so badly injured, why would it want to go home? Is it stupid?"

"No, he's not stupid!" Old Tan continued, "It knew it didn't have long to live. It wanted to return home before it died, to see its owner one last time. Only after reuniting with its owner could it leave this world in peace. That's called returning to one's roots!"

"Does this mean fallen leaves return to their roots?"
