Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Unable to contain himself any longer, Fan Erhe abruptly stood up, glaring at Shi Dajiang, and roared, "A life is at stake! Are you still acting like nothing happened? Is your heart even red? Has it been eaten by a dog?"

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, Shi Dajiang not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed.

Fan Erhe was even more furious. He grabbed Shi Dajiang by the collar and yelled, "What time is it? How can you still be laughing? Shi Dajiang, I think you've really lost your conscience!!!"

"Old Fan, I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already this impatient!" Shi Dajiang remained unperturbed, pointing behind Fan Erhe and saying with a smile, "Look what's behind you!"

"After that? What else could it be? It's just that Xiao Bei got hit by the black horse—"

Before he could even utter the word "death," Fan Erhe turned around and looked back, completely dumbfounded.

The bloody scene he expected did not appear.

in contrast,

He was surprised to see that the black horse that had been so angry and about to run over Liu Bei was now actually touching Liu Bei's face.

What the hell!

What's going on?

What exactly happened just now?

A black horse can run as fast as a leopard, right?

That speed must be at least 60 kilometers per hour.

If it hits someone, they will either die or be crippled.

But Liu Bei not only escaped unscathed, he even got the dark horse to lick his boots.

What exactly did he do?

"What... what's going on?"

Fan Erhe looked puzzled.

Shi Dajiang shrugged and spread his hands. "You're asking me? I don't know either. Like you, I originally thought Brother Xiao Bei would also be dead. But at the crucial moment, I don't know what Brother Xiao Bei shouted, but the black horse heard it and suddenly stopped. Look, it's ruined the grass under its feet!"

Fan Erhe took a closer look, and it really was true.

What was originally a beautiful meadow has been turned into a dirt road.

The surrounding grass clippings were scattered everywhere.

"You just said that Brother Xiao Bei neighed at the black horse a few times before it stopped, right?"

"Um!"

"That doesn't make sense either. At the speed a black horse is running, could it possibly stop?"

"To be precise, it stopped, but its legs were still moving forward, so it had to lift up. Just as it was about to fall, the Liu brothers acted quickly, grabbing its front legs and pulling it down while shouting something. The two of them worked together to land it slowly and smoothly!" Shi Dajiang explained again.

"A centaur working together? And shouting as they go?"

If Fan Erhe hadn't seen Heima and Liu Bei getting close together with his own eyes, he would never have believed Shi Dajiang's nonsense.

What exactly did Liu Bei do?

What was contained in his voice?

Fan Erhe was surprised and incredulous.

"Let's go ask them!"

Fan Erhe ran over curiously.

Shi Dajiang also chased after them.

"Xiao Bei, are you alright?"

After Fan Erhe ran over, he felt Liu Bei all over and, finding no injuries, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Liu Bei is alright, that's all that matters.

Otherwise, he would never forgive him for the rest of his life.

"I'm fine! I'm sorry to have worried you!" Liu Bei smiled slightly.

"Xiao Bei, tell me quickly, how did you do that?" Fan Erhe was a little anxious and eager to know the reason.

"That's right. Brother Liu Bei, how did you do that? Tell us!" Shi Dajiang was also very curious.

Liu Bei patted the black horse's black head and said, "To be honest, I understand horse language!"

"Horse language?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Fan Erhe and Shi Dajiang were dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other and spoke almost simultaneously.

"Have you ever raised horses?"

"No!" Liu Bei shook his head.

"Then how come you know horse language?"

Fan Erhe and Shi Dajiang pressed for answers.

"I hunted in the Da Liu Mountains, and the more wild animals I hunted, the more I learned about how they communicated. Horses are animals too, so it's easy to understand them by analogy!"

Fan Erhe: "..."

Shi Dajiang: "..."

The two looked at each other, wanting to say to Liu Bei at the same time.

I don't believe you for a second.

You might be able to fool the Japanese with that kind of talk, but it's not enough.

They're trying to fool us; we absolutely refuse to believe it.

But everyone has their own secrets, and since Liu Bei was unwilling to talk about them, they couldn't press him for details.

"Awesome!"

Fan Erhe gave a thumbs up.

"Impressive, truly impressive!" Shi Dajiang gave him two thumbs up. "Brother Liu Bei, you're a real talent. Your marksmanship is excellent, and you even understand horse language. If this were ancient times, you would definitely be a great general who could take the head of an enemy commander from among ten thousand men! A true hero!"

"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Liu Bei was a little embarrassed by Shi Dajiang's praise.

"Old Shi, Xiao Bei has tamed the dark horse. As you just said, if he tames the dark horse, you're supposed to give him a horse too. You're not going to go back on your word, are you?" Fan Erhe stroked his chin, staring intently at Shi Dajiang.

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond! What I, Shi Dajiang, say is always as good as gold! I'll give it to you, I absolutely must! Brother Liu Bei, come on, let's go to the horse farm. Just pick whichever horse you like!"

"Old Shi, you said it yourself. Xiao Bei, don't be so polite with him. Come on, let's hurry to the horse farm to choose a horse!"

Fearing that Shi Dajiang might change his mind, Fan Erhe urged Liu Bei to go.

Liu Bei understood Fan Erhe's meaning, and smiled, "Alright, let's go choose a horse!"

He patted the black horse, and the black horse followed behind Liu Bei, walking together towards the horse farm.

When they entered the forest farm,

The workers were all stunned.

"Why...why is that black horse so well-behaved?"

"Yeah. Wasn't it really fierce yesterday? It would attack anyone who came near. But what's going on now? It's actually following behind Brother Liu Bei obediently?"

"Did the Liu brothers manage to subdue it?"

"How is that possible? Even the horse breeder who's been raising horses for over ten years couldn't handle it. How could Brother Liu Bei, who's never raised horses before, possibly do it?"

……

Hearing the surrounding workers' comments, Shi Dajiang raised his hand, "Quiet down! Quiet down!"

After the workers quieted down,

Shi Dajiang solemnly announced, "I have some news to tell you!"

"The dark horse has been tamed by Brother Liu Bei! From now on, the dark horse belongs to Brother Liu Bei!"

"What? He really subdued her?"

"My goodness, that's incredible!"

"Yes, that's right. His marksmanship is impeccable, hitting the bullseye every time, and he even subdued the dark horse. Brother Liu Bei is too fierce. No wonder I heard he married three wives, and each of them gave him a child. Turns out he was born a tough guy!"

"That's awesome! That's how a man should be!"

"..."

Immediately, the surrounding workers were filled with envy, admiration, and respect.

Shi Dajiang chuckled. "Brother Liu Bei, did you hear that? Everyone's saying you're a crack shot, hitting the bullseye every time. They all want to learn from you!"

Liu Bei: "..."

He coughed a few times, waved his hand, and said, "Let's not. Director Shi, if you keep praising me, I'll get arrogant. Let's get to the horse farm quickly!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Getting to the horse farm is the priority!"

Shi Dajiang smiled and led Liu Bei and Fan Erhe toward the horse farm.

A few minutes later,

Outside the racecourse.

When Shi Dajiang and his two companions arrived, a horse breeder greeted them with a smile.

"Factory Manager, Factory Manager Fan, Brother Liu Bei, you've arrived?"

"Old Guo, open the door and let Brother Liu Bei go in and pick a horse to take with him!"
