Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Shh!"

Liu Bei immediately gestured to his father-in-law, Su Tianshui, to be quiet and told him not to move.

Seeing Liu Bei do this,

Su Yuehe's heart tightened even more.

He held Nian Nian even tighter and tighter.

After hearing this, Su Tianshui realized that Liu Bei had also discovered something.

He was digging lotus roots just now,

For some reason, the hair on my body suddenly stood on end instinctively.

This is an instinct honed through decades of work.

Although I don't know what happened,

But his intuition told him that if his hair stood on end, there must be some danger nearby.

That's why he suddenly stopped digging for lotus roots.

But it was very quiet around.

There was not a trace of danger.

He couldn't figure out where the danger was hiding or where it would happen.

So he had no choice but to stand there motionless, using stillness to control movement.

Unexpectedly, his son-in-law Liu Bei discovered it so quickly and even reminded him.

Suddenly, Liu Bei's opinion of him rose even higher.

This son-in-law,

It's not just about hunting coffin beasts,

They were very observant of the dangers in the water.

My daughter Yuehe made the right choice in selecting him.

Just as he was sighing inwardly, he saw his son-in-law Liu Bei make a move.

Holding the branch, he slowly moved it to his left.

His gaze followed Liu Bei's movements, scanning the area little by little.

quickly,

He saw a snake.

The snake had a tongue at both its head and tail.

"A two-headed snake?"

After seeing it clearly, Su Tianshui was greatly shocked.

As a rural person,

He had certainly heard the story of the two-headed snake.

It's a snake associated with bad luck.

Once entangled

Something bad is definitely not going to happen at home.

unless--

Only by striking the two-headed snake with a single, decisive blow can bad luck be banished.

Otherwise, if the two-headed snake gets away, bad luck will definitely befall you.

"Damn it!"

"Why is my luck so bad? Of all the snakes, why did I have to run into this jinxed snake?"

"My youngest daughter has only been enjoying a few good days, and now she's encountered this kind of snake."

"This is just causing trouble and distress for my youngest daughter!"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye at his youngest daughter, Su Yuehe, who was hiding far away on the shore.

At that moment, she held her little granddaughter tightly in her arms.

His face showed worry, anxiety, and fear.

The little granddaughter looked completely bewildered.

They had no idea what had happened.

Looking at the scene of the mother and daughter.

Su Tianshui felt even more guilty.

If I hadn't come to the pond to dig lotus roots for my little granddaughter, I wouldn't have encountered the two-headed snake.

Ultimately,

It's all trouble I brought upon myself.

At that moment, he felt deep regret.

As I thought about it,

He suddenly remembered that he had overlooked something.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly glanced at Liu Bei again.

The young son-in-law, holding a tree branch, got much closer to the two-headed snake.

If we could take down the two-headed snake in one move, that would be ideal.

But what if—

If it fails

The two-headed snake escaped.

According to the old folks, this will lead to endless troubles.

"Damn it! What do we do?"

Su Tianshui's mind was in turmoil and anxiety.

But he dared not make a sound lest he disturb the two-headed snake and let it escape.

All I could do was keep praying in my heart.

"Xiao Bei, good son-in-law, you must stay calm, you must stay calm! Don't let that beast get away! Otherwise, our family is finished!"

Just then, Liu Bei suddenly stopped.

Su Tianshui held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

Su Yuehe immediately covered her daughter Niannian's mouth to prevent her from making a sound, so as not to disturb the two-headed snake.

She kept her mouth shut, not daring to make any unusual noise.

Although Nian Nian didn't understand what had happened.

Despite her young age, she is very sensible.

at this time,

Surprisingly, she cooperated very well with her mother, lying motionless in her mother's arms.

But her big eyes, just like her mother's, were fixed on her father's side, unmoving.

Because she wanted to see what her father was up to.

Why did Daddy suddenly stop digging lotus roots for her?

Why did Dad want Mom to carry her away?

Why is Mom's heart beating faster and faster?

The three generations of the family,

this moment,

They were all tense, worried, and anxious, their facial expressions quite complex.

Suddenly,

Silence reigned all around.

You could hear a pin drop.

As for Liu Bei, after he stopped,

They stopped moving forward.

His eyes were fixed intently on the two-headed snake.

He aimed the branch at the two-headed snake.

At the same time, his mind was rapidly calculating the best position and distance to capture the two-headed snake.

Besides eating,

He was still calculating something.

Wind speed, the possible escape route and speed of the two-headed snake, etc.

In his past life, he practiced shooting...

But I learned a lot of calculations.

Otherwise, how could his marksmanship be so amazing and so accurate?

What I'm holding now isn't a gun, but a tree branch.

But there's not much difference.

He's now using tree branches as his gun.

Calculating, observing, waiting.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Five minutes passed in a flash.

He hasn't moved at all.

The two-headed snake didn't notice anything unusual and remained coiled around the lotus root.

One snake head was still climbing upwards, while another snake head was flicking its tongue.

After climbing up for a while, it changed direction again, letting the other snake head climb down.

They crawled back and forth like this for five minutes.

This contrasted sharply with Liu Bei's immobility.

But the more this is the case,

The more worried Su Tianshui and his daughter Su Yuehe became, the more anxious they became.

It's clear that the two-headed snake is very clever.

Can Liu Bei handle this in one move?

"Poke~"

suddenly,

Liu Bei made a move.

The branch in his hand shot out like a fountain after being squeezed by tremendous pressure.

position--

It is one side of the lotus rootstock that the two-headed snake is entwined around.

And on that side, the corresponding position is precisely the vital spot of the two-headed snake.

"Bang!"

In an instant,

The branches broke the roots of that lotus plant.

The lotus leaf and the two-headed snake both flew into the air at the same time.

At the critical moment, Liu Bei suddenly leaped up.

Leap like a hurdle.

A great leap forward,

The branches in their hands also came out at the same time.

It stretched out to one side of the two-headed snake.

My mind was simultaneously calculating the distance and the best direction.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the branch in his hand once again struck the two-headed snake precisely at its vital spot.

The two-headed snake's entire body was lifted up by a tremendous force.

It flew toward the shore in a parabolic trajectory.

"Pfft~"

Immediately, Liu Bei fell into the dark pond.

"Father, hurry up and take a look!"

"Um?"

Su Tianshui finally came to his senses.

Without saying a word, he hurriedly ran ashore.

They rushed over at top speed.

He kept muttering to himself as he ran.

Don't run away! Don't run away!

If you run away, my whole family will be in trouble again.

As he kept muttering to himself,

Su Tianshui finally rushed forward.

Then--

He stood there, completely stunned.

"Dad, what...what's wrong?" Seeing that her father didn't move, Su Yuehe asked anxiously.

"Daddy, is Snake... dead yet?" Niannian asked as well.

"Hoo hoo~"

Liu Bei emerged from the dark pond.

He wiped his face.

Looking at his father-in-law, who stood there dumbfounded on the shore, he asked, "Dad, the two-headed snake didn't escape, did it?"
