Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"What? A savage?"

"No way? What if there really are savages?"

"Yeah, what should we do?"

……

Many villagers panicked and were at a loss.

"Whoosh~"

Xiao Hei suddenly turned around.

"Um?"

Fan Sanyuan and the hunters were all stunned, a look of doubt appearing on their faces.

"Secretary, why did Xiao Hei turn around? Isn't it going into the mountains? Where is it going?"

"I don't know!" Fan Sanyuan shook his head. "We'll find out soon enough!"

Under the watchful eyes of Fan Sanyuan and the hunters,

Xiao Hei quickly ran up to Zhao Da'e.

It stuck out its tongue and kept licking the soles of Zhao Da'e's shoes, while its tail swished wildly at the same time.

"Woof~"

It cried out, as if it were saying something to Zhao Da'e.

The cry had barely faded when

A dozen or so dogs quickly ran over and followed Xiao Hei one after another.

They look like an army of country dogs.

Fan Sanyuan, somewhat curious, couldn't help but ask one of the hunters beside him, "What do you think 'Little Black' means?"

"..."

The hunters were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads.

"Little Black, come here for a second!"

Lin Wanqiu squatted down and waved to Xiao Hei.

"Woof~"

Little Blackie really did run over there.

The dog's face kept rubbing against Lin Wanqiu's calves.

"Little Black, why are you back? Aren't you going into the mountains anymore?"

"Woof!"

Xiao Hei barked again, then looked back at the depths of Da Liu Mountain. After looking at them, it glanced at Zhao Da'e, Zhao Chunyan, and Su Yuehe before finally fixing its gaze on Lin Wanqiu.

Lin Wanqiu pondered for a moment, and an idea popped into her mind: "I know what 'Little Black' means!"

"It's telling us we don't need to go into the mountains! Because there aren't any large wild animals coming out!"

"Huh? No wild animals? Then why were they all yelling like crazy just now?" one of the hunters asked, puzzled.

Lin Wanqiu explained with a smile, "It smelled my Liu Bei's scent."

"I think the reason they are making noise is because my Liu Bei is leading Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang down the mountain to go home."

"What? Liu Bei brought Dayong and Daqiang back down the mountain? Really?"

"Yes, indeed. The way they were calling out just now clearly showed their anxiety. My niece, Wanqiu, don't make wild guesses. If we're wrong and let our guard down, we might be caught off guard and killed by wild animals!"

"Yes, Secretary, I don't think Xiao Hei meant that. There must be a large, ferocious beast."

"Yeah. Better safe than sorry. It's always better to be careful."

……

Fan Sanyuan: "..."

Lin Wanqiu was just guessing, why are you all reacting so strongly?

and also,

Why do you think it wasn't Liu Bei who brought my two sons back down the mountain?

How can you talk like that?

Fan Sanyuan was very dissatisfied.

But he could also understand what the hunters meant.

Drive carefully and you'll live a long life.

Human life is of paramount importance and cannot be taken lightly.

For this reason alone, as a village party secretary, he had to act with caution.

"Garlic bird. No need to guess. It's getting late, instead of guessing here, let's go into the mountains and take a look. Everyone just need to be extra careful. If we spot any large wild animals, don't hesitate, just shoot them!"

However, just as he finished speaking, they saw a young man covered in blood slowly walk out from the entrance to the mountain.

He held a hunting rifle in his hand, and with every step he took, he stood tall and proud, exuding an air of confidence and dignity.

Behind him, one after another, Old Tantou, Fan Dahai, Fan Libo, Fan Ha'er, Li Dazhuang, Tan Si, Fan Shitou, Fan Mao'er, and others emerged from the mountains.

Several people walked in a group, carrying hunting rifles on their shoulders and dragging a sled in their hands, step by step.

From afar, Fan Sanyuan saw that the sleds were covered with bloody things.

Only after they got a little closer did one of the sharp-eyed hunters' expressions change. He pointed in that direction and exclaimed loudly.

"Secretary, it's really...it's really Liu Bei and his men back!"

"Secretary, look! That's...a golden eagle!"

"It really is a golden eagle. They actually killed one."

"Not only that. There are also wolves. Lots and lots of wolves!"

"One, two, three... fifteen wolves, a total of fifteen wolves."

……

Everyone looked over, and then their hearts suddenly skipped a beat, and an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

Fan Ha'er, Li Dazhuang, Tan Si and several others dragged the sled.

A giant golden eagle was placed on the sled.

Behind them, Fan Dahai and Fan Libo were dragging the fifteen wolves that were left after they had eaten two wild wolves.

Excitement, thrill, and joy were written all over their faces.

Watching this scene,

Fan Sanyuan's eyes were so wide they almost popped out of their sockets.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he suddenly looked at the hunter who had been the first to express doubt, "Old He, didn't you say that Wanqiu's niece was just guessing? What do you say now?"

"..."

"And Laoshan, didn't you say there were large wild animals coming out from the entrance to the mountain? Where are there any large wild animals now? There were golden eagles and wolves, though. But those things have all been killed."

"..."

The hunters looked at each other, their faces showing great embarrassment.

After looking at each other for a while, they all sighed.

"Secretary, I was wrong. A dog's nose is definitely better than ours!"

"But we did that for safety reasons. At least it reminds us to be more vigilant if we encounter something like this again."

"Besides, while wolves may not be considered large wild beasts, they are still wild beasts. Golden eagles may not be considered large wild beasts either, but they are giant birds, and they are considered ferocious creatures in the mountains. To put it more broadly, they are also wild beasts."

"Since it's a wild animal, it proves they weren't wrong. They just overestimated it. They guessed a tiger, a black bear, and a leopard!"

"not to mention--"

The old hunter glanced at Little Blackie, "We don't understand dog language either. It's normal to misunderstand it, right, Secretary? Don't you agree?"

Fan Sanyuan: "..."

He knew, of course, that the old hunter was trying to save face for them.

Normally, he would have slapped him already.

But right now—

Two familiar faces came into view.

These were his two sons, Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang, whom he had been hoping for.

My son has returned safely.

Very good,

His lineage has been preserved.

People are happy when they are happy.

This time, I won't bother arguing with those old hunters.

He waved his hand. "Alright. That's enough about it! Xiao Bei's back, covered in blood. You can see how much risk he took going into the mountains this time, and how dangerous the battle was."

"He is a hero of our Fanjiacun village. How can we stand here and remain indifferent to a hero? Everyone, raise up the foreign powers!"

"Huh? Raising a gun? Secretary, what are you doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I told you to lift it up, so lift it up. Anyone who doesn't, I'll make sure they can never lift a finger again!!!"

"..."
