Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

The next moment, several figures walked in.

They are Fan Erhe, Lao Tantou and his son Tan Si, Fan Shuanzhu, and Li Dazhuang.

Fan Erhe's outfit today was different from usual, and looked somewhat unusual.

Among the group, he was the only one carrying a basket on his back, and Liu Bei was immediately curious about what was inside.

"Director Fan, why are you here so early?"

Liu Bei was somewhat surprised to see Fan Erhe appear, and immediately got up to greet him.

"Sigh, things are getting worse. I'm so worried! Couldn't you have come sooner?"

Fan Erhe approached and kept shaking his head and sighing.

"Director Fan, what's going on at your forest farm this time?" Liu Bei brought over a chair and asked Fan Erhe to sit down.

But Fan Erhe wasn't in the mood; he simply pulled something out of the basket on his back.

"Xiao Bei, look what this is!"

"Woof woof~"

Before Liu Bei could take a closer look, Xiao Hei, the Chinese rural dog beside him, barked at the thing in Fan Erhe's hand.

"Um?"

Liu Bei was somewhat surprised and glanced at it intently.

Good heavens, what Fan Erhe was carrying was actually a yellow weasel.

Judging by its size, it's only slightly smaller than Xiao Hei, which clearly indicates that it's well-fed.

"Isn't this a weasel?" Zhao Da'e and the others exclaimed almost simultaneously after taking a look.

"Yes. It was a weasel!" Fan Erhe nodded. "This weasel sneaked into my house last night. Luckily, I was prepared; I have a yellow dog in the house. After the weasel sneaked into my house, it probably tried to bite the yellow dog, but it ended up being killed by my yellow dog!"

"Oh, that's a good thing! But Director Fan, why do you still look so pale?" Liu Bei asked, puzzled.

"Sigh! If only there were just one!"

Fan Erhe shook his head. "These past few days, I don't know if our forest farm has offended the mountain god. Hundreds of weasels appear every day. These things don't come out during the day, they only appear at night. They're fast, and difficult to catch. There are only a dozen or so dogs in the forest farm, which is enough to handle a dozen or so. But they can't handle hundreds."

"For this reason, we specially borrowed dozens of dogs from several nearby villages to help, but none of those dogs were trained and they were not good at catching weasels at all. At most, they could only bark a few times to scare the weasels!"

"But the weasel was also very clever. It gradually realized that those dogs were just bluffing, and it quickly adapted, no longer taking those dogs seriously!"

"Using dogs won't work. Let's kill a few chickens and ducks, put them where they often come and go, burn some incense and paper money, and pray for them. Once they eat the chickens and ducks, they should leave, right?" Zhao Da'e suggested after hearing this.

"Sigh, sister-in-law, your idea... we've already tried it, it didn't work!"

Fan Erhe shook his head. "These weasels are really strange. They don't eat chickens or ducks. They just cause trouble. For example, they secretly killed dogs while we were asleep at night, and they also stole all the grain from the forest farm."

"That's not all. Several villages nearby around the forest farm have also been affected. The villagers' chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs have all been killed!"

"Especially the chickens and ducks, not a single one survived; they were all bitten to death! Isn't that eerie?"

"..."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire courtyard fell silent.

According to common sense,

Weasels have been spotted.

All you need to do is kill a few chickens and ducks, bleed them a little, and then throw them in places where weasels often appear. Then burn some incense and paper money, kneel on the ground, bow, and mutter a few words. After the weasels eat the dead chickens and ducks and are full, they will obediently leave and never come back to bother you again.

According to Fan Erhe, the weasels that have appeared now are not only killed but not eaten, and they even bite dogs to death.

The impact also extended to several villages surrounding the forest farm.

Incredible.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

"Director Fan, how many villages have been affected?"

"Three!"

"Three villages plus a forest farm, that makes four. Four 'collective units' simultaneously being ravaged by weasels, this doesn't seem like an animal infestation," Liu Bei pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

"Oh? In your opinion, Brother Liu Bei, what is the purpose of the weasel?" Fan Erhe and the others asked after hearing this.

"It must be related to people!" Liu Bei analyzed. "If I'm not mistaken, someone must have offended the weasels. And it must have been a big shot in the weasel tribe. The weasels have swarmed out in large numbers to seek revenge."

"revenge?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone was in an uproar.

"Director Fan, besides using dogs for protection, have you used any other methods?" Liu Bei continued to press.

"Of course I've used it!" Fan Erhe continued.

"After many dogs were also harmed, we realized that this weasel infestation was no ordinary case. So someone suggested using a poison!"

"I thought it was feasible at the time and agreed to use the poison. But when we bought the rat poison and placed it in the areas where the weasels frequently appeared, we found that not a single weasel was killed. The rat poison was untouched; the exact amount was exactly the same!"

"The following night, the weasels became even more rampant. They were more aggressive than ever before, and no one could sleep. Some weasels even sneaked into rooms to scare the village children, making them cry with fear!"

"The villagers had no other choice but to brace themselves and try to drive the weasels away with their tools. But those weasels seemed to be incredibly clever, each one remarkably intelligent. When the villagers tried to scare them away, they would run. But when the villagers stopped to rest, they would come running back!"

"They fought back and forth, causing a ruckus all night long, until the weasels finally retreated at dawn!"

"One night is fine, but if it goes on like this for several nights in a row, even the youngest guy can't handle it!"

"Well, we really have no other choice. We couldn't wait any longer, so we had to come to you early this morning to ask for your help! Please come up with a solution to get rid of those pesky weasels in our forest farm and the three surrounding villages!"

"Yes, Xiao Bei. I've been to the forest farm. I've also been to the three surrounding villages. It's really a terrible situation. If you have any ideas, please help out," Old Tan added from the side.

"Guerrilla tactics? It seems these weasels really have become spirits!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "I know everything you just said! I understand! We're all friends, so I won't hide anything from you, Director Fan. I do have a solution. However, this method is a bit difficult, and it involves a lot of risk. I'm afraid that if I tell you, Director Fan, you won't agree! And even if you agree, the others won't!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Erhe frowned and said, "Xiao Bei, just tell me what method you have. As long as it can get rid of the weasel problem, I'll support you!"

"Yes. Xiao Bei, Director Fan has been worrying a lot about this lately. Just tell me if you have any good ideas!"

"Yes, tell me, what exactly is the method?"
