Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

It seems that Ha'er has really fallen for that young woman in town.

That young woman looked like she was always hungry.

If a virgin like Ha'er really gets deeply involved, he'll be drained dry by that young woman sooner or later.

No, I need to distract him.

"Hey, are you sleepy now?"

"No, I'm perfectly fine!" As she spoke, Fan Ha'er patted his chest heavily. "See that? Loud enough, right? Brother Bei, I'm perfectly healthy. I don't feel sleepy at all. What's wrong? Are you sleepy?"

"If that's the case, Brother Bei, your health isn't so good. You need to take some supplements. Don't end up like my dad, fighting every night and losing every night—that's embarrassing!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Is this a curse?

"Boom~"

Immediately, Liu Bei flicked Fan Ha'er on the forehead, "What nonsense are you spouting? Your brother Bei has already found you three wives, is that not allowed?"

"That's right. Every night when I peek, a lot of the uncles in the village say that a man can't be impotent. Brother Bei, if you weren't, you wouldn't have been able to marry three wives. Hmm, that makes sense! Brother Bei, you're really something. Can you teach me? I want to learn from your experience!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Damn it! Here we go again!

Shaking her head, she immediately changed the subject, "Haste makes waste. We can talk about experience later. Since you're not sleepy, let's go catch mermaids! Don't you really like catching mermaids?"

"Mermaid?" Sure enough, Fan Ha'er's eyes lit up as soon as he heard those three words.

He slapped his thigh suddenly, "That's right! We haven't caught the mermaid yet. Let's go, let's go catch one!"

"I haven't even gotten the tools yet. What's the rush? Go back and get the tools first, then wait for me at the village entrance!"

"Alright! Let's go catch the mermaid!"

Fan Ha'er excitedly ran home and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Sigh! This kid's puberty's gotten worse again! Looks like I need to prescribe some strong medicine to cure him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he keeps it bottled up for too long, something serious will happen sooner or later!"

Shaking his head, Liu Bei turned and went into the storeroom to retrieve his fishing tools and hunting rifle.

"Late Autumn! Ha'er and I are going fishing. You should get some rest!"

"Squeak!"

Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu came out. "What time is it? Going fishing at this hour? It's too dangerous. Maybe you shouldn't go?"

"We're still short over two thousand yuan to build the new house. How can we manage without making more money? You go and rest. I can handle it!"

Chong Linwanqiu smiled, and Liu Bei stepped out of the courtyard gate.

"Be careful!"

"Got it!" Liu Bei waved with his back to Lin Wanqiu.

Watching Liu Bei's increasingly faint figure disappear into the distance,

Lin Wanqiu felt both worried and very gratified.

The character for "person" consists of a left-falling stroke and a right-falling stroke.

Men are represented by a left-falling stroke, and women by a right-falling stroke.

The stronger a man's back, the more resilient that back can be for a woman, giving her a sense of security.

Right now, Liu Bei is doing everything he can to make her feel safe and secure, and he's trying his best to make this stroke of the pen as solid as possible.

"Liu Bei, you're getting better and better. I really didn't choose the wrong person back then!!!"

……

A few minutes later,

Liu Bei appeared under the old locust tree at the village entrance.

Fan Ha'er had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Bei's here!" Fan Ha'er immediately stood up. "Where are we going to catch mermaids tonight?"

"Let's go with Zhangjiawan Village!"

"Huh? Going over there again? You've been there twice already, and you haven't caught a mermaid either time. How about we go somewhere else?" Fan Ha'er frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Listen up, son. There's a saying: 'If you fall down, you have to get up again.' We failed twice near Zhangjiawan Village, so we have to get up from there!"

"Get up from where you fell down, right?" Fan Ha'er muttered to himself. "Okay. I'll listen to Brother Bei. Let's go to the vicinity of Zhangjiawan Village again!"

……

More than half an hour later,

Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er appeared on the lake near Zhangjiawan Village on the opposite bank of Zhangjia Lake.

Along the way, Liu Bei caught a lot of fish following the red dot in his line of sight, but he still didn't catch a single mermaid.

"Brother Bei, we still haven't seen the mermaid. Should we change our direction? The route towards Zhangjiawan is definitely wrong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Ha'er frowned.

"Uh, Brother Bei, there's someone in the bushes by the river!"

"Who? Where is he?" Liu Bei asked, startled.

"Isn't that it?" Fan Ha'er craned his neck and took a closer look with his assistant's flashlight. He discovered that a man was squatting in the grass on the bank with his back to them, and his mood immediately soured.

"Brother Bei. He looks a bit like Zhang Hu. Damn. How come I run into him everywhere? Even when he's taking a dump! I was wondering why I didn't catch a single mermaid tonight, turns out it's all because of him. What bad luck!"

"Bad luck? No, you're wrong. The bad luck is on him, not us!" As he spoke, Liu Bei whispered something in Fan Ha'er's ear. After listening, Fan Ha'er's face lit up with joy. "This is fun. I'll try it!"

After saying that, Fan Ha'er put his hands together near his mouth, forming a megaphone, and shouted loudly across the street, "There's a snake! There's a snake! A huge snake!"

"What? A snake? Where's the snake?"

Zhang Hu, who was squatting, was startled when he heard the sound of a snake. He immediately stood up, but he had been squatting for a while and stood up too quickly, resulting in insufficient blood supply to his brain. He felt a little dizzy as soon as he stood up.

His body swayed slightly.

"Clang!"

He plopped down on the grass again.

Then--

He felt something soft under his buttocks, very soft.

"What is that?"

Zhang Hu was very curious and reached down to touch his buttocks.

After he looked it over,

He immediately bristled, his face turning dark.

Because his hands were covered in all the filth he had excreted.

Then he suddenly turned around and looked.

really,

He sat down completely on that lump of stuff.

As for snakes

I didn't see a single shadow.

He immediately realized he had been tricked and had fallen into a trap.

"Haha~"

Just then, Fan Ha'er burst out laughing, pointing at the humiliated Zhang Hu and shouting, "Brother Bei, did you see that? That guy got incredibly lucky. Don't you think he's lucky tonight? I think he's pretty lucky, haha..."

"Yeah, it's really great!" Liu Bei looked at the person opposite him, stroking his chin and bursting into laughter.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu stood up and turned around.

Suddenly, two people appeared on the lake not far behind.

With the help of the moonlight, he could see the faces of the two people clearly, and he would still recognize them even if they had turned to ashes.

It was Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er who had given him two setbacks.

"Damn it. It's those two guys' fault again!"

"Why are those two always around?"

"Did I have some deep-seated grudge against those two guys in a past life? Every time I run into them, nothing good ever comes of it!!!"

"How awful!!!"

"Fan Ha'er, weren't you the one shouting about snakes just now?"

After being angry for a while, Zhang Hu finally spoke up to question him.

"Yes. It's me. So what? You don't like it? If you don't like it, come and hit me! I'd love to!"

As he spoke, Fan Ha'er jumped ashore and walked step by step toward Zhang Hu.

Liu Bei: "..."

"Hey, stop playing around. We still need to catch the mermaid. Come back right now!"

"Brother Bei, this guy's butt's covered in that stuff. With him around, will the mermaid even come out?"

"I don't think so!" Liu Bei shook his head, stroking his chin. "It's too smelly. The mermaid would be disgusted!"

"See, you said you wouldn't. So for my mermaid, that lucky guy, he has to—"

"Must be what?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"My luck needs to be even better!"

"Shit-wangwang?" Liu Bei was stunned.

Zhang Hu: "..."

After hearing Fan Ha'er's words, he was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged out.

What a fool! How dare he look down on him like that? He doesn't even take him seriously.

Once word gets out, Zhang Hu will be even more ashamed in Zhangjiawan Village.

How will they ever be able to rejoin the militia?
