Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Brother Bei, when we get back, do you think we should eat the hedgehog first or the squirrel first?"

As Fan Ha'er was wondering what to eat first when they got back,

Liu Bei suddenly stopped.

Because in his line of sight, four red dots appeared one after another deep in the dense forest ahead.

Each one is moving very fast.

Moreover, everything is moving in their direction.

Something's not right!

Liu Bei raised his head and pricked up his ears.

At first, only the sound of wind could be heard.

But three seconds later, a series of loud running sounds shook the ground.

Four wild boars rushed out of the woods.

The lead one weighed over 200 pounds, with protruding fangs, white foam at the corners of its mouth, and bloodshot eyes, as if it had been terrified by something. It took off running wildly in this direction.

Three more followed closely behind, their hooves scattering fallen leaves everywhere.

"Brother Bei!!"

Fan Ha'er also saw it; the hedgehog and the squirrel fell to the ground at the same time.

"Don't move."

Liu Bei pushed Fan Ha'er behind a thick pine tree on the left.

Wild boars charge like other prey.

A two-hundred-pound body crashing at full speed was no different from a small truck.

If you don't dodge, you'll be hit and either die or have your bones shattered.

He remained calm in the face of danger, immediately raised his gun, and aimed.

The lead wild boar ran even faster, and it was only eighty paces away from him.

Liu Bei held his breath.

"Bang!"

Without hesitation, he fired his gun, and the gunshot rang out.

"Bang!"

The lead wild boar suddenly tilted its head to the side, its front hooves plunging into the ground. The momentum of its body carried it forward two steps before it crashed to the ground.

The body, weighing over 200 pounds, crashed to the ground, splashing up a cloud of mud and fallen leaves.

Startled by the gunshot, the three wild boars behind them all changed direction and scurried wildly into the dense forest on the right.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

But Liu Bei didn't let up. He pointed his gun at another wild boar, and just as he was about to pull the trigger,

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the dark woods to the right.

Then, a bullet flew over and hit the wild boar's rump, which was already lying on the ground, with a "plop" sound, splattering a small cloud of blood.

"Um?"

Liu Bei paused, his brows furrowing.

Just then, a familiar shout came from the woods ahead.

"Brothers, come quick! I shot a wild boar! The biggest one, it weighs over 200 pounds! Come help me carry it!"

"It's Fan Xibei!"

Liu Bei's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Fan Ha'er peeked out from behind the tree, somewhat displeased: "Brother Bei, what the hell is this bastard spouting? You were the one who hit him first!"

Liu Bei didn't say anything, slung the gun back over his shoulder, bent down to pick up the hedgehog and squirrel from the ground, and handed them to Fan Ha'er.

"Let's go take a look."

The two walked towards the direction where the wild boar had fallen.

Before we even got close, several figures had already emerged from the woods on the other side.

The torchlight shone first, illuminating a patch of land.

Fan Xibei carried the gun at the front, striding with an arrogant gait, his head held high.

Zhao Liuzhi followed behind, with five or six strong men behind him.

A group of people excitedly ran up to the wild boar. Fan Xibei was about to squat down and examine it when he caught a glimpse of Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er standing ten steps away.

He was slightly taken aback.

Zhao Liuzhi was also stunned.

The strong men looked at each other in bewilderment.

Fan Xibei's gaze first fell on the hunting rifle in Liu Bei's hand, where a wisp of white smoke still lingered from the muzzle.

Then he saw the hedgehog and squirrel that Fan Ha'er was carrying.

After a brief moment of confusion and hesitation, his expression turned into a grin.

"Hey, isn't this Liu Bei?"

"Running all this way in the middle of the night, and all you caught was a hedgehog and a mouse? Tsk tsk tsk, this harvest... I really feel sorry for the women in your family. Marrying someone like you, they wouldn't even have enough to eat if they stayed with you."

"Liu Bei, hunting is really not for you. Look at me, I took down a 200-pound wild boar with one shot! That's real skill!"

Liu Bei said coldly, "Fan Xibei, are you blind? I killed the wild boar!"

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Fan Xibei suddenly raised his foot and stepped on the wild boar. "What? I hunted this wild boar, you think you can touch it?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei almost burst out laughing. "Fan Xibei, now you can be so brazen about stealing other people's prey?"

"Liu Bei, you better explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'robbery'? I clearly hunted the wild boar. According to the rules of the mountains, whoever kills it owns it. I killed it, so it's mine. How is that robbery?"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you! Get lost!" Liu Bei was too lazy to talk nonsense and kicked Fan Xibei away.

"Damn it! You dare kick me? You're asking for it!"

Fan Xibei flew into a rage, suddenly raised his gun, pointed it at Liu Bei, and shouted, "Kneel down and apologize to me, or I'll blow your head off!"

"Yes, Liu Bei, kneel down and kowtow to Brother Northwest right now to admit your mistake. Otherwise, I'll smash your head in!"

Zhao Liuzhi also grabbed his hunting rifle and pointed it at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's face darkened.

Originally, out of consideration for being from the same village, he didn't want to waste time arguing with Fan Xibei.

Unexpectedly, his forbearance only emboldened Fan Xibei to become even more rampant and arrogant.

In his past life, he might have actually chickened out and knelt down to Fan Xibei to admit his mistake.

But now that he's been reborn, expecting him to kneel down and apologize is a pipe dream.

You want to act tough and ruthless like Liu Bei?

In his previous life, after he became somewhat wealthy, he dared to face even lions alone on the African savanna; and in Siberia, he even dared to fight brown bears single-handedly.

What storms haven't I weathered? What blood haven't I seen?

How can we let some ignorant Fan Xibei ride on our necks and piss off us?

Since Fan Xibei is going to play hardball and act unreasonably, then I'll play along.

The next moment, taking advantage of Fan Xibei's smugness at believing he had everything under control, Liu Bei suddenly made a move, grabbed Fan Xibei's wrist and twisted it forcefully, snatching the gun away and simultaneously turning the muzzle of the gun towards Fan Xibei.

Everything happened so suddenly.

From start to finish, less than three seconds had passed.

By the time Zhao Liuzhi and his gang discovered it, it was too late.

Fan Xibei himself only felt a sudden, sharp pain in his wrist. Before he could react, he saw his gun turned around and pointed at his head. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

"Damn it! You dare to lay a hand on me? Brothers, get him!"

After a while, Zhao Liuzhi finally reacted and immediately raised his gun, aiming it at Liu Bei.

"Damn it! Throw the gun away right now. Otherwise, we'll blow your head off!" Two more burly men raised their guns and pointed them at Liu Bei.

"Fuck your mother's ass!" Fan Ha'er threw down the hedgehog and squirrel, immediately raised his gun, and aimed it at Zhao Liuzhi and the others. "Anyone who dares to touch my Brother Bei, I'll shoot their balls first! Make sure they can't ejaculate!"

"..."

"Damn it! Fan Ha'er, you big idiot, you dare say that again?"

"I said I'd shoot your balls so you can't ejaculate. What? Want to try?"

"Fuck you! You think I'm the boss—"

"If you say another word to my brother, believe me, I'll beat you into a eunuch right now!" Before Zhao Liuzhi could finish speaking, Liu Bei raised his own gun, aimed it at Zhao Liuzhi's crotch, and was ready to pull the trigger.

Zhao Liuzhi: "..."

After his Adam's apple bobbed a few times, he swallowed the rest of his words, because he could actually see a hint of real killing intent in Liu Bei's eyes.

He was certain that if he said just one more word, Liu Bei would really shoot.

His crotch will really be ripped then.

Immediately, the two sides had six guns facing off.

Liu Bei has two poles, while Fan Xibei has four, giving Fan Xibei the advantage with four poles against two.

Under the moonlight, in the pine forest, guns pointed at each other, neither side backing down.

Suddenly, the mountain wind stopped.

They seemed to have been scared away.

The insects in the distance stopped chirping, as if stunned by the tense atmosphere, afraid that if they made another sound, they would be targeted and lose their lives.

Li Dazhuang stood at the very back of the group of laborers, his machete half-raised, then lowered.

He glanced at Fan Xibei, then at Liu Bei, but did not raise his gun.

But his face was full of anxiety. The gun barrel was no joke; a slight mistake could cause it to go off, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The other two strong men had beads of cold sweat trickling down their foreheads and brows.

Everyone's heart was pounding in their chest.

I was praying in my heart, please don't shoot, please don't shoot, otherwise it would be terrible if someone died.

Drop drop drop.

Time passed second by second.

Although Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er were only two people, the murderous intent in their eyes remained undiminished; on the contrary, it became even stronger.

Fan Xibei and Zhao Liuzhi are somewhat different.

As time went by, the two became increasingly uneasy, and cold sweat trickled down their temples.

Fan Xibei, in particular, was sweating profusely not only on his forehead but also on his temples.

His legs also began to tremble uncontrollably.

For a moment, the air grew increasingly stagnant.

The smell of gunpowder grew stronger and stronger.

A major war could break out at any moment.

All that's missing is a fuse.

Once it breaks out, people will die.

Just then, Lao Tan and Tan Si ran up from behind.

When Lao Tan saw this scene, his legs went weak.

"My God!"

"Don't act impulsively!"

"Don't shoot!"
