Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Fan Libo nodded in agreement, "Exactly. I've heard that things are really strange in these deep mountains. There are a lot of ferocious beasts. I hope we don't run into them."

"For example, if we encounter something like a big tiger, it won't be fun!"

Fan Libo shrank back and gripped the shotgun tighter.

"Roar~ Roar~"

The voice just fell,

Suddenly, a tiger's roar came from behind.

"Clang!"

Upon hearing this sound...

Fan Dahai, Fan Libo, and several other villagers who were crossing Sanlipo with Liu Bei for the first time were so frightened that they fell to the ground, dropping their hunting rifles without even noticing.

"Cowards. It's me, Ha'er. You're all really scared to death? Haha..."

Suddenly, loud laughter came from behind.

Fan Dahai, Fan Libo, and the others were stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound.

really,

There are no tigers around.

Only the laughter of Fan Ha'er and others could be heard.

At that moment, they finally realized they had been tricked.

After all that fuss,

It was that idiot Fan Ha'er who was pretending to be a tiger to scare them.

"Hey, stop playing around. Get up, all of you. Don't be afraid, just stay close to me!"

As he spoke, Liu Bei saw a dense array of red dots in his field of vision.

"Um?"

When Liu Bei noticed that several red dots were flashing very frequently and moving in a very regular pattern, his eyes lit up.

"Xiao Bei, what's wrong? Did you find out something?"

As a long-time partner, Old Tan immediately saw through the scheme.

"Hmm. I think... I smell something!"

As he spoke, Liu Bei deliberately twitched his nose and sniffed the surroundings.

"Brother Bei, what do you smell?" Fan Ha'er asked curiously.

"The smell. The smell left by Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang!" Liu Bei explained.

"Really? I can't smell anything." Fan Ha'er imitated the sniffing, but couldn't smell anything either. "Brother Bei, is your nose a dog's nose?"

Liu Bei: "..."

Is this an insult calling oneself a dog?

"Snap!"

Liu Bei slapped Fan Ha'er on the forehead. "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't find you a wife anymore!"

"Ah? No!" Upon hearing this, Fan Ha'er panicked. "Brother Bei, I was wrong. I apologize. You absolutely must find me a wife. Preferably..."

Scratching the back of his head, Fan Ha'er drooled and said, "Ideally, I'd like to be like my three sisters-in-law. Each one has a better figure than the last."

Liu Bei: "..."

A madman is always envious of other people's wives.

No wonder everyone says other people's wives are the most beautiful.

"Only if I'm as beautiful as my sisters-in-law... then I'll have the motivation. And when I'm motivated, I can get them to give me 666 babies!"

"..."

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone turned to look at Fan Ha'er.

It was as if Fan Ha'er was not human, but a monster, more terrifying than the wild beasts in the deep forest.

666 babies?

Holy crap.

Are you treating that girl like a stud?

Breeding pigs need rest too, right?

If you act like this, those girls won't have to do anything all day but have babies for you.

Can that girl handle it?

Indeed, fools are the most terrifying!

For a moment, Fan Dahai, Fan Libo, and several other villagers who had recently followed Liu Bei into the mountains instinctively took a few steps back, trying to keep as much distance as possible from Fan Ha'er.

"Cough cough~"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Liu Bei coughed a few times to break the silence. "Alright, alright, stop bragging. I think I've located Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang. They're probably about twenty miles away!"

"Huh? So fast?"

Fan Dahai, Fan Libo, and others asked almost in unison, "Is it true?"

Fan Dahai was shocked. Liu Bei was a human, not a dog. How could he smell something from twenty miles away?

That's amazing.

"Alright. I won't be mistaken. Follow me!"

Without saying a word, Liu Bei grabbed his hunting rifle, crouched low, and ran ten miles away.

Old Tan, Li Dazhuang, Tan Si, Fan Ha'er, Fan Shitou, Fan Mao'er, and others who had followed Liu Bei into the mountains to hunt all followed without hesitation.

Fan Dahai, Fan Libo, and the others looked at each other for a while, shook their heads helplessly, and quickly followed.

Half an hour later,

It was already dark, and the trees in the deep forest grew taller and taller, blocking out the sun, while the temperature dropped lower and lower.

"Uncle Dahai, Uncle Libo, it's so cold!"

A young villager was running, but the deeper he went, the colder he felt.

"If you're cold, run faster. The faster you go, the warmer you'll feel!"

Fan Dahai said that, but he himself was no better.

"Hoo-ha~ Hoo-ha~"

A few minutes later, Fan Dahai and Fan Libo also couldn't hold on any longer, and while following Liu Bei, they were blowing their breath in the cold air.

"If you feel cold, bite off your fingers."

"You'll run faster when you feel the pain. Otherwise, the flashlights will run out of power, and you won't be able to see anything, which will be a big problem!"

Liu Bei sped up, glancing back to remind Fan Libo and Fan Dahai.

Although it is summer,

But the deeper you go, the lower the temperature gets.

The climate is becoming increasingly abnormal.

It was as if the weather had suddenly changed, and we had entered late autumn.

If this continues, it will get even colder in the deeper parts.

If you don't run fast to raise your body temperature...

Liu Bei didn't dare to guarantee that anyone would get sick from the cold.

"Dazhuang, Tan Si, you guys turn off your flashlights! And you guys too, turn them off! From now on, take turns turning them on one by one to save electricity."

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dazhuang and the others quickly turned off their flashlights.

Liu Bei looked up at the sky.

All the trees were towering trees that blocked out the sun and blocked out all the moonlight, so that not a single ray of moonlight could shine in.

It was pitch black ahead, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. If it weren't for his cheat ability that showed him the way, he wouldn't know where to go.

"hurry up!"

"Still too slow, go faster!"

"No, this won't work, faster!"

"Yes, that's it, quick, quick! You're all cold, and Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang are even colder over there!"

"They probably won't last much longer! If we don't hurry, we'll only find their corpses when we get there."

"What will happen to the Party Secretary and Aunt Caixia when we go back?"

"..."

Liu Bei ran while urging and encouraging him.

Fan Ha'er and his men kept increasing their speed and running faster and faster until they were almost exhausted.

No, even dogs aren't this tired.

But it got darker and darker, and the deeper they went, the lower the temperature became.

They also knew that Liu Bei's concerns were valid.

If they don't get there quickly, the chances of the two brothers, Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang, surviving will become increasingly slim.

They didn't just come into the mountains to find a body.

We need to bring living people back.

The living are always more valuable than the dead.

……

at the same time,

Different locations.

In another part of the jungle,

The two brothers, Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang, were shivering from the cold.

"Brother, this won't do. It's too cold. The wolves down there won't leave. And there's no food. If this continues, we'll either starve or freeze to death. And if we freeze to death, we'll fall and be eaten by the wolves. We'll be left with nothing but bones! I don't want to die like that!"
