Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Chapter 246 Against the Rules

"If Brother Bei hadn't killed the golden eagle, the ginseng wouldn't have been harvested. I propose that Brother Bei should take 30%."

Fan Dayong thought for a moment and said.

"Yes. I agree with my brother's suggestion. Besides—" Fan Daqiang quickly chimed in, "Ha'er almost lost his life trying to pick ginseng. He should get 20% too!"

"Hmm. That makes sense. I have no objection!" Fan Dayong nodded, looking at Fan Dahai and the others. "Uncle Dahai, what do you think?"

"Hmm. I have no objection. Xiao Bei takes 30% of the ginseng, Ha'er takes 20%, and we'll split the rest equally. How about that?"

"I have no objection!" Fan Libo agreed.

"I agree!"

……

Before long, everyone reached a consensus.

"Alright, the allocation of ginseng is settled then." Liu Bei then glanced at the golden eagle, "As for the golden eagle—"

"Let's split it evenly. How about that?"

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Fan Dahai shook his head. "You killed the golden eagle. According to the rules in the mountains, whoever kills it owns it. It's against the rules for us to take it!"

"Yes, it's against the rules! I can't accept it!"

"I can't accept it either!"

……

Led by Fan Dahai, the others waved their hands.

"How about this?" Liu Bei pondered for a moment, "I'll take 30%, Li Dazhuang and Tan Si both hit the target, so they'll each take 20%, and the rest we'll split equally. What do you guys think?"

"this--"

Fan Dahai and the others looked at each other, still somewhat hesitant.

"Listen to Brother Bei," Fan Ha'er suddenly said. "If you don't listen to Brother Bei, you can forget about going hunting with him in the mountains again!"

"what?"

These words had a great deterrent effect.

In order to be allowed to go hunting in the mountains, Fan Dahai was the first to raise his hand, "I agree!"

Old Tan frowned. "I agree too!"

Fan Libo chimed in, "I agree!"

"I agree!"

……

Before long, an agreement was reached on the distribution of the golden eagles.

"That's more like it!" Fan Ha'er laughed upon hearing this. "Brother Bei, you must be very tired from killing the golden eagle just now. Let Mao'er and the others hold off the wolf pack, and leave the golden eagle to me, Da Zhuang, and Tan Si, okay?"

As soon as this word comes out,

He was met with admiring glances from everyone around him.

Fan Dahai exclaimed, "Xiao Bei, to be honest, I'd always heard you were a great hunter, but I was a little skeptical. After seeing it with my own eyes today, I realize I was completely wrong. You're not only a great marksman, but also a master knife player. Unbelievable!"

Fan Libo looked ashamed. "To be honest, when I was facing the vines and the golden eagle just now, I... I almost peed my pants in fear. Luckily, Xiao Bei, you reacted quickly, your marksmanship was accurate, and your knife skills were excellent, otherwise I... I would have been utterly humiliated today. Hunting is really not something that just anyone can do."

Fan Mao'er scratched his head, his face full of bitterness. "I...I'm almost the same. When I saw the golden eagle swooping down from the sky just now, I was so scared I almost pooped!"

Fan Shitou looked even more ashamed. "Yes. I'm almost there too. Brother Bei, you're amazing. If you were a girl, I... I would definitely go to your house to propose marriage and bring you home as my wife!"

Holy crap!

Upon hearing this, Fan Ha'er frowned and kicked him. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you into egg drop soup, add some sugar, and drink it!"

Liu Bei: "..."

He imagined Fan Ha'er drinking egg drop soup and suddenly shuddered.

He waved his hand and said, "Ha, don't talk nonsense. Stone was just joking. You actually took it seriously!"

"Alright, look at the sky, it's almost noon. If we don't go down the mountain now, it'll be dark again by the time we get back. Let's hurry and set off!"

"Hmm. We'll cut some branches, make a sled, and then take our game down the mountain to go home!"

"Okay!"

After responding, Li Dazhuang and the others pulled out machetes from their leg wraps and began cutting tree branches to make sleds.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen sleds were completed.

Liu Bei led the way, with Fan Ha'er, Li Dazhuang, and Tan Si pulling the sleds in one group behind him. Old Tantou, Fan Dahai, and Fan Libo were in another group. Fan Shitou and Fan Mao'er were in yet another group... one group after another pulled the sleds down the mountain.

The speed at which they came down from the mountain was not too slow; in fact, it could be described as quite fast.

Along the way, Fan Ha'er would occasionally stop to pick some flowers to wear. Not only did he wear them, but he would also show off how pretty he looked with the flowers on in front of Liu Bei and the others.

This made Li Dazhuang and his men burst into laughter, completely forgetting that they were still dragging their prey along.

……

But Fan Ha'er and his friends had a great time along the way.

At the same time, in Fanjiacun Village, Wen Caixia and some other villagers were extremely anxious.

Village Party Secretary Fan Sanyuan was especially anxious,

To cover it up, he smoked a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes in his village office.

The cigarette butts filled a bowl completely, but that didn't stop him from continuing to smoke the welding fumes.

Since Liu Bei and his men entered the mountains yesterday, a full day and night have passed, and they still haven't seen a single person emerge from the mountains.

Without even thinking, it was clear that Liu Bei and his group had run into trouble in the mountains.

If that's the case, his two sons will be in even bigger trouble.

After all, the two sons had entered the mountain a day and a night earlier than Liu Bei and his men.

If anything were to happen to him, Fan Sanyuan's lineage would be cut off and his family line would end.

A hundred years from now, when he goes to the underworld, what will he use to face his ancestors?

"No, we can't just wait around any longer. We have to go into the mountains and take a look!"

Wen Caixia finally couldn't wait any longer and ran into the village office.

"Master, let's go find some men to go into the mountains!"

"Going into the mountains?"

"Yeah. Xiao Beimen has been in the mountains for a whole day and night. Still no news. I'm really worried. Let's go. Let's grab our guns and head into the mountains."

"OK."

Fan Sanyuan readily agreed.

He took off his hunting rifle.

He rushed out and found that many villagers had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Folks, Xiao Bei and the others have been in the mountains for a day and a night, and we still haven't heard from them. I reckon something must have happened to them in the mountains."

"They went into the mountains for my two good-for-nothing sons. Now they're in danger. As both their father and the Party Secretary, I can't just ignore it."

"If you're a real man, go home and get your gun, then come with me into the mountains to find them!"

"I won't force anyone who doesn't want to go!"

"Wow!"

"I'm going too!"

"And me!"

……

In an instant, more than twenty middle-aged and elderly villagers responded, and soon they went home to get their hunting rifles and returned.

"Good. You're truly men of Fanjiacun Village. You've got guts. You live up to the name Fan. All of you, come with me into the mountains! The rest of you stay in the village and don't move! Wait for us to come back!"

Immediately, village secretary Fan Sanyuan led twenty people in a grand procession toward the mountains of Da Liu Shan.

"Woof woof~"

They had only taken a few steps

A series of barking dogs came from behind.

"Um?"

Fan Sanyuan deliberately stopped and looked back.

But then eleven Chinese rural dogs appeared out from behind them.

He was most impressed by the dog that was walking at the front.

It was the black dog that Liu Bei had just taken in a few days ago—Xiao Hei.

"Little Black?"

Fan Sanyuan and the others were somewhat surprised.

"Party Secretary! Party Secretary..."
