Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Yeah, that's awesome!"

"It's incredibly accurate!"

"I give up!"

……

In no time, more and more workers gathered around.

"Xiao Bei, are you alright?"

Fan Erhe and the old worker also pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

"It's nothing. I'm fine!" Liu Bei patted his chest. "It's just a little—"

"What is it? Tell me quickly!" Liu Bei was someone he brought along; if anything happened to him, how would he explain it to Liu Bei's family when he got back? Fan Erhe was naturally anxious.

"I'm just a little tired!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"You're still laughing?"

Fan Erhe was almost worried to death, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to still be in the mood to laugh. He was so anxious that he almost had sleep in his eyes.

"It's alright. You almost scared this old man to death!" The old worker breathed a sigh of relief. "Young man, don't be so reckless again. It's too dangerous!"

"Thank you for your concern, sir."

"Haha, it's good that everyone's alright. It's good that everyone's alright!" Shi Dajiang chuckled, glancing around. "How many wild boars did we kill?"

"Seven of them ran away!" one of the workers said.

"Thirty came, seven ran away, leaving twenty-three. That's enough to make up for our forest farm's losses! Hmm. Not bad!"

Shi Dajiang was very satisfied and immediately ordered, "Don't just stand there! Quickly carry that wild boar king over, wash it clean, pluck its hair, and then kill it and eat it! Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!!!"

"We won't leave until we're drunk!"

"We won't leave until we're drunk!"

"We won't leave until we're drunk!"

……

In an instant, all the workers in the forest farm, as well as some buyers who had come to purchase horses, echoed the sentiment.

"Let's go, carry the wild boar!"

"Let's lift the wild boar, pluck its bristles, and eat pork!"

The workers cheered and hurriedly lifted the wild boar king along with the other wild boars.

……

"What kind of work are you doing? Can't you see our hero is still dirty? Hurry up and wash him too!"

"Brother Liu Bei, I'm sorry. The conditions at the forest farm are limited. It's all men, so please make do and let them help you with your bath!"

"Yes, great hero, I'll wash you!"

"You clumsy fatso, what if you ruin the great hero's hair while you're washing him? Let me do it!"

"You old codger, you're so old, you get out of breath after doing a little work. How can you possibly wash it properly? Get out of the way, let me do it!"

Who are you talking about?

"I'm talking about you!"

"..."

……

Suddenly, more than a dozen grown men started arguing over who would give Liu Bei a bath, which made Liu Bei shiver involuntarily.

These guys,

They're not women, so the thought of them washing me is terrifying.

"No need. I can wash it myself! Uh, sir, you're quite old, why are you touching things like that?"

Suddenly, Liu Bei realized that someone was touching him.

After catching the thief, they discovered that he was actually an old worker.

"Haha, no wonder you're such a good shot, you've got some skills after all!"

"..."

……

That night, a bonfire party was held throughout the entire Daliuxi Forest Farm.

Except for the lack of women,

Fine wine, fine meat, and fine dishes are all available.

The workers ate meat and drank alcohol, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After Fan Erhe, Liu Bei, and Shi Dajiang clinked bowls together and took a big gulp, Fan Erhe finally spoke.

"Old Shi, how much are you planning to sell the horse for?"

"Sell?" Shi Dajiang paused. "Sell what?"

Fan Erhe frowned. "Old Shi, you can't go back on your word. During the day, you said you'd sell Xiao Bei a horse if he could kill the wild boar for you. Are you going to back out now? That's not how you do things!"

"Old Fan, oh Old Fan. What can I say about you!" Shaking his head, Shi Dajiang pointed at Liu Bei, "Brother Xiao Bei helped our forest farm out of a predicament today. If I sell his horse, what will people think of me?"

"What do you mean? Old Shi, explain yourself clearly! I don't understand!" Fan Erhe raised his eyebrows.

"It means I'm not selling it, I'm giving it away!" Shi Dajiang said.

Fan Erhe: "..."

Liu Bei: "..."

The two looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then spoke in unison, "Huh? A gift?"

"Yes. Free. Not a penny needed, it's free!"

Shi Dajiang nodded.

Fan Erhe's mouth dropped open, thinking he had misheard.

Liu Bei was also taken aback. "Director Shi, are you serious?"

"I, Shi Dajiang, always keep my word!"

Liu Bei and Fan Erhe exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Alright. Boil this bowl of wine!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"Glug!" Soon, the three of them finished a bowl of white wine.

Shi Dajiang poured both of their drinks and said, "Also, I'm giving Brother Xiao Bei two wild boars. Let him take them back!"

"What? They're even giving away wild boar?" Fan Erhe's eyes lit up, and he gave Liu Bei a wink.

"No need!" Liu Bei refused.

"Why?" Fan Erhe asked, puzzled.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Bei, why?" Shi Dajiang asked as well.

"Director Shi, you've already given me a horse. It wouldn't be right for me to ask for a wild boar as well. Besides—"

Liu Bei looked at the workers around him. "When the wild boar entered the forest, it killed all the chickens, ducks, and geese. It ran rampant in the forest, causing considerable damage. These all need to be repaired with money."

"The workers also contributed. It wouldn't be right for me to ask for wild boar as well!"

"I can accept the horse. But the wild boar is out of the question. If you insist on giving me the wild boar, then I'll have to buy the horse myself!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Erhe looked at Liu Bei with even more respect.

They wouldn't even take a wild boar that was given away for free.

Such spirit is truly remarkable.

They are destined for great things.

Shi Dajiang paused for a moment, then thought more highly of Liu Bei. He raised his bowl and said, "Brother Xiao Bei's character is truly impeccable. Since Brother Xiao Bei has put it this way, it would seem unreasonable of me to give him more gifts."

"Alright, if you don't want to send it, then don't. But you still have to drink this bowl of wine."

"Okay, drink it!"

"drink!"

"Ha ha!"

……

Silent all night.

The next day,

Liu Bei didn't wake up until the sun was shining on his backside.

He rubbed his eyes, stretched, and walked out of the room.

The workers, who were drunk last night, have already started working.

Some were repairing the damage caused by wild boars yesterday, some were cleaning up the chicken, duck and goose farms, some were comforting the goats, and others were haggling with buyers.

Everyone was busy with their own tasks.

"Brother Xiao Bei, you're finally awake! Come on, let me take you to see your horse!"

Suddenly, Shi Dajiang and Fan Erhe came over and pulled him to the side.

"Manager Shi, the direction seems wrong, doesn't it?" Liu Bei pointed towards the horse farm. "Aren't the horses over there? You're leading us in the opposite direction from the horse farm!"

"Hehe..." Fan Erhe laughed.

Shi Dajiang also laughed.

Liu Bei became increasingly confused. "Director Fan, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

"Xiao Bei, you're right." Fan Erhe shook his head.

"Then what are you laughing at?" Liu Bei was still completely confused.

"You'll know when we get there. Don't just stand there, let's go."

As they spoke, Shi Dajiang put his arm around Liu Bei's shoulder and pulled him in the opposite direction from the horse farm...
