Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Grandpa Zaoshui, who do you think died a violent death and can't be carried into the village?" Liu Bei asked casually, puzzled.

"Who else could it be? Xiao Tan went up the mountain with you. His son, Tan Si, came back. Only he didn't. If he had an accident on the mountain, why did you all carry him back on a stretcher?"

"Yes, Xiao Bei, you grew up in the village too, you should know the rules, right?"

"You have kids too, you can't just do whatever you want."

……

Several elderly men offered their advice, and Liu Bei and the others finally understood.

Several people glanced at Tan Si, who frowned and shouted, "You've got it wrong. My dad is fine, perfectly well."

"If he's doing so well, where is he?"

"Oh right. Where is he?"

"Grandpas," Liu Bei quickly explained, "Uncle Tan is really alright. We killed a yellowtail in the mountains. The yellowtail was too big to carry. I had him stay in the mountains to guard it. As for what's on the stretcher... well..."

"Wait!" After listening halfway through, Grandpa Fan Zaoshui immediately interrupted, "Xiao Bei, what did you just say? You killed a mountain...mountain yellow dog?"

"Yes. Shanhuang!" Liu Bei nodded.

"Is it the kind of one that's rumored?" Fan Zaoshui asked again.

"Hmm. It looks like a tiger and a leopard at the same time," Liu Bei described.

"You really...you really killed Shanhuang!"

Upon hearing this, the old men looked surprised.

They've lived their whole lives.

Although they didn't kill Shanhuang.

But the older generation has mentioned the matter of the mountain yellow.

It is bigger than a tiger and extremely ferocious.

But no one has ever actually seen it.

Now Liu Bei actually claims to have killed a mountain yellow dog.

How could they not be surprised?

"Then...what is that stretcher? If it's not carrying wild herbs, then what is it?"

"Oh, what is it?"

Liu Bei smiled slightly, "You'll see when you take a look!"

Fan Zaoshui and the other old men curiously gathered around to take a look.

"My goodness!"

"This...this is the Mountain Lord!"

"Run! Run!"

……

When the old men realized that the stretcher carried a male tiger, they were terrified and turned to run away.

Unfortunately, they're all old and frail, so they can't run around much.

Before they could even begin, Liu Bei spoke up to reassure them, "Grandpa Zao Shui, don't be afraid, don't panic. This mountain spirit is the same one that helped us kill the white python last time. This time, when they went into the mountains, the family of three encountered a mountain weasel and fought it. They were seriously injured, and we're carrying it down the mountain to treat its wounds!"

"What?"

After hearing this, the old men mustered their courage and stopped, each turning back to look at Gong Hu again.

really.

At this moment, the male tiger on the stretcher was weak and seriously injured; how could it possibly hurt anyone?

Suddenly, all the old men became bolder.

"Oh, I see. Quick, get him to the clinic!"

"Yes, yes, we can't delay the mountain king's treatment."

Liu Bei and the others immediately carried the tiger to the village's barefoot doctor.

"Old... tiger?"

Upon seeing the tiger, the barefoot doctor was startled, but having seen much blood, he quickly calmed down. After understanding the situation, he swiftly began to provide the male tiger with initial treatment.

quickly,

The entire Fanjiacun village was in an uproar.

Villagers came from far and wide, drawn by its reputation.

They ran to the barefoot doctor's place to watch the commotion.

Wow, what a huge tiger!

"The tiger's tail is so thick! And what are those two things on its butt? Are they bells?"

"The bell will ring, will his?"

"Dad, can I touch the tiger's butt?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You can't touch a tiger's backside. If you do, the tiger will eat you."

"Ah...how scary, I won't touch it anymore! But its bell is really pretty."

"..."

……

The village children saw a real tiger up close for the first time, and they all started talking at once.

The more they talked, the more outrageous it became, leaving Liu Bei, Tan Si, and the others completely bewildered.

"Xiao Bei, I heard you brought a tiger back?"

Suddenly, the voice of her mother, Zhao Da'e, rang out.

Liu Bei looked in the direction of the sound.

The mother was at the very front, followed by her three ex-wives.

Lin Wanqiu held her eldest daughter Panpan's hand, Su Yuehe held her youngest daughter Niannian's hand, and Zhao Chunyan held her son Xiaobao.

As soon as they arrived, they all started pushing their way in.

"Mother, why are you here too?"

"Of course it's for the tiger. Where is it?"

"Isn't that it?"

"My God, what a huge tiger!" Zhao Da'e exclaimed, covering her gaping mouth and widening her eyes. "It's even bigger than... bigger than your father when he was young!"

Liu Bei: "..."

"Especially its tail, it's so long and thick. It must hurt a lot if it whips someone."

Liu Bei: "..."

"Mother, don't talk nonsense."

"Where did I lie? Did I say something wrong? Tigers really are very strong. Their tails are also very thick and long. Where did I go wrong?"

Liu Bei: "..."

Just then, Xiao Bao stretched out his arm, "Daddy, can I...can I touch it?"

"Don't touch a tiger's butt. If you do, it will eat you up." Before Liu Bei could speak, a little boy next to him immediately repeated his father's words.

"Ah..." Sure enough, Xiao Bao was so frightened by what he heard that he immediately turned his head and hugged Zhao Chunyan tightly, clearly terrified.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Bao. It's just touching a tiger, right? Mommy will take you to touch it."

Seeing her son was frightened, Zhao Chunyan glared fiercely at the little boy who had scared Xiaobao, then picked up Xiaobao and was about to touch the tiger when Liu Bei stopped her.

"Chunyan, don't do anything reckless. The doctor is treating Shanjun, so don't make things worse."

"But my son wants to touch it."

"That won't do either. Go back now."

"No refund means no refund. I want to build Xiaobao's courage."

"That's even more unacceptable. You can't touch a tiger's backside. If anyone's going to touch one, it should be the mother tiger. Little Bao is out of the question. Mother, let's take Little Bao back."

As she spoke, Liu Beichong's mother, Zhao Da'e, gave him a meaningful look.

Zhao Da'e sighed. "Chunyan, listen to Xiaobei. Let's go home. Let's not trouble the doctor any further."

"So you think you can touch a tigress, huh?" Zhao Chunyan leaned close to Liu Bei's ear. "Fine. I'll remember that. You're basically implying that this tigress can touch your... you know. Tonight, I'll grant your wish. Just don't run away."

Liu Bei: "..."

What kind of comprehension ability is that?

It's outrageous.

"Chunyan, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

"Pretending, huh? Don't give me that. Do you think I can't see what you men are thinking? Don't forget, I'm not that naive little girl I used to be. I've been through this, I know you men very well. Don't try to fool me, no way. You'll see tonight, no deserters allowed. Otherwise—"

Zhao Chunyan secretly bit Liu Bei's earlobe, "I'll cut off that tiger's tail and feed it to the dogs!"

Liu Bei: "..."

My legs instinctively squeezed together a little, and felt slightly cool.

Is this some kind of shrewish roar?

That's ruthless...
