Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"That man is really strange. He spent so much money to buy two deer heads that had hardly any meat on them."

Seeing the man in the wool coat load the two deer heads into a car, Gao Hongmei couldn't help but mutter something.

"Hurry up and pack your things. We'll go to the department store later to buy some things, and then we have to go back."

Although Li Yunshan knew what the people were going to do with the two deer heads, he didn't say anything. Instead, he told Gao Hongmei and asked her to help pack the things away.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack. Just three planks, a boning knife, a cleaver, a scale, and a few bundles of rice stalks to tie the meat. That was about it.

However, upon hearing Li Yunshan say he was going to the department store, Gao Hongmei asked curiously, "What are you going to the department store for again?"

She remembered the last time she and Li Yunshan went to the county town to sell wild boar meat. After they sold out, Li Yunshan also went to the department store.

"My mother's 60th birthday is the day after tomorrow, and I'm thinking of buying her a gift. Since I'm in the county town today, I might as well go to the department store and take a look," Li Yunshan explained as he placed the wooden board and put the boning knife in the truck bed.

"Oh, it's Aunt Huang's sixtieth birthday."

Gao Hongmei then remembered that Li Yunshan's mother, Huang Zhifang's, birthday was around these days.

However, she divorced Li Yunshan six months after their marriage, and only celebrated Huang Zhifang's birthday once, so she didn't have a deep impression of when Huang Zhifang's birthday was.

Gao Hongmei still remembers that back then, Li Yunshan was idle and didn't even have a penny in his pocket. She even paid for the two pounds of chicken cakes he bought for his mother's birthday.

"Yes, his 60th birthday."

Li Yunshan nodded.

After packing up, Li Yunshan took the tractor crank, started the engine, and the tractor chug- ...

However, Li Yunshan had only driven the tractor a short distance from the farmers' market when a commotion suddenly broke out on the street.

Li Yunshan stopped the tractor and looked up. He saw three young men wearing cotton-padded coats and hats swaggering to a potato stall run by an old woman on the side of the street.

The stall in front of the old lady was more like two wicker baskets, each half-filled with potatoes, placed by the roadside for passersby to choose and buy.

Because of the cold weather and the north wind, the old woman tried her best to curl up and shiver, her lips trembling from the cold.

The young man in the lead, wearing a cotton-padded coat and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, walked up to the shivering old woman, struck what he thought was a cool pose, and held out his hand to her: "Old lady, shouldn't you pay your stall fee for today?"

Seeing the young man with a cigarette in his mouth, the old woman looked up and a fawning, humble smile instantly appeared on her face: "Young man, please have mercy, I haven't sold any potatoes yet, I really don't have any money to pay the stall fee."

"No money? What are you doing setting up a stall here if you have no money? Don't you know this area is our territory?"

Upon hearing the old woman say she had no money, the young man with the cigarette in his mouth raised an eyebrow, bent down to pick up a potato from the wicker basket, and weighed it in his hand a few times: "I've already said this area is our territory. You're using our land to set up a stall and sell things, but you don't want to pay us stall fees. Do you think we're fools, that we're easy to bully?"

"I...I..."

Seeing the arrogant young man with a cigarette in his mouth, the old woman was so frightened that she could barely speak.

"What do you mean, 'I'? You're not going to pay the stall fee,' huh? Then these two baskets of potatoes will do you the work of paying the stall fee."

A tall, thin young man next to him cursed and reached for the two baskets of potatoes that were on the ground.

"No...don't take my potatoes! I worked so hard to grow them. My wife is counting on the money from selling them to pay for my granddaughter's medical treatment!"

Seeing that the potatoes she had worked so hard to grow were about to be taken away, the old woman finally mustered the courage to fight back. She struggled to pull on the two wicker baskets, her voice filled with pleading cries.

Passersby who witnessed this scene were indignant, but seeing that the three young men were just carefree street thugs, they dared not speak out and chose to stand by and watch.

Sitting on the tractor, Li Yunshan saw three street thugs bullying an elderly and frail woman, and especially since no one around intervened. He couldn't stand it anymore.

He jumped off the tractor and walked towards the old woman.

Seeing this, Gao Hongmei and Li Yunmei also followed.

"Young man, that's not fair. How can you be so arrogant and bully an old woman like this? If you're so capable, go join the army and go south to fight the Vietnamese."

Li Yunshan placed his hand on the wrist of the young man who was struggling with the old woman. He squeezed it slightly, and the young man immediately turned pale with pain and hurriedly let go.

"Who the hell are you? What gang do you belong to? How dare you meddle in our business?"

As soon as he let go, the tall, thin young man arrogantly pointed at Li Yunshan and cursed him. The two young men next to him also surrounded Li Yunshan with unfriendly expressions.

"Kid, you want to be a hero and do something righteous, huh?"

The young man with a cigarette in his mouth tilted his head, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.

"What do you want? Three men bullying an old and weak woman, you really have guts."

At this moment, Gao Hongmei and Li Yunmei also ran to Li Yunshan's side. Li Yunmei quickly helped the old woman up, while Gao Hongmei stood with her hands on her hips, her eyebrows furrowed, glaring fiercely at the three street thugs.

"Wow, these two girls are really pretty."

Unexpectedly, when the three street thugs saw that Li Yunshan had two more helpers, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they rubbed their chins with interest and leered at Gao Hongmei and Li Yunmei from head to toe.

The street thug with the cigarette in his mouth was even bolder. He was no longer satisfied with just looking at her; he reached out and touched Gao Hongmei's face.

"Fuck you, get the hell out of my way."

Gao Hongmei was a fiery person to begin with. When she saw that the street thug with a cigarette in his mouth dared to touch her face, she angrily kicked him in the crotch.

The street thug was caught off guard and had no time to react. He only saw a leg flash before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his groin.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide in an "O" shape, his hands instinctively covered his crotch, and he knelt down.

"hiss……"

The street thug gasped, veins bulging on his forehead. He pointed at Gao Hongmei: "You...you wretched woman...you're so ruthless..."

A sharp pain shot through his groin, making him feel as if it were shattered.

"Pah, how can we deal with a villain like you without being ruthless?"

Gao Hongmei spat fiercely.

Seeing that their leader had been crippled by Gao Hongmei's groin kick, the other two thugs clenched their fists and punched Gao Hongmei.

"Still want to make a move?"

Li Yunshan let out a cold laugh.

The next moment, Li Yunshan moved.

He turned and kicked out.

The kick was swift and powerful, landing heavily on the stomach of one of the street thugs. The thug was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, landing five or six meters away as the excruciating pain shot through his abdomen.

"vomit!"

Upon landing, the street urchin felt a churning in his stomach, gagged, and then vomited a large amount of sour, foul-smelling semi-digested matter.

The last remaining street urchin was punched in the face by Li Yunshan, and immediately collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing a street urchin lying on the ground with his eyes closed, Li Yunmei was terrified: "He...he's not dead, is he?"

"He won't die."

Li Yunshan checked her breathing; it was normal.

"The police are here! The police are here!"

Just then, someone suddenly shouted.

Then, hurried footsteps sounded, and in no time, several policemen rushed up to Li Yunshan.

"Don't move, squat down, raise your hands behind your heads."

The policeman running in front, holding a baton, pointed at Li Yunshan and the other two.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Li?"

But as the police followed, one of them was immediately surprised when he saw Li Yunshan.

"Captain Jiang."

Li Yunshan was also somewhat surprised.

However, considering that Captain Jiang was the captain of the public security brigade in charge of maintaining order in the county public security bureau, Li Yunshan was not surprised.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, put down your baton. What kind of person points a baton at someone?"

Captain Jiang immediately told the police officers holding batons to put them down and stop pointing them at people.

"But, Captain Jiang, they..."

"Just because I told you to put it down, you put it down? Are you deaf? Do you think my words don't count?" Captain Jiang's expression changed. He thought to himself that this young man who had just arrived was like a newborn calf. Although he had a lot of drive, his sense of manners was really lacking.

"This comrade is Li Yunshan. The highway robbery case that our public security brigade cracked last time was accomplished with the assistance of this comrade Li Yunshan."

Captain Jiang pointed at Li Yunshan and spoke to the police officers holding batons.

"What?"

"Xiao Wu, put it down and listen to the captain."

At this moment, another police officer next to him pressed down Xiao Wu's hand, which was holding the baton.

"Brother Li, what happened to you?"

Captain Jiang walked up to Li Yunshan, glanced at the three street thugs lying on the ground, and asked them questions.

"This old lady was selling potatoes at a roadside stall. These three boys saw that she was old and easy to bully, so they demanded a stall fee. When she refused, they tried to steal her things. I couldn't stand it, so I stepped in and taught them a lesson."

Li Yunshan said it casually.

"Oh, so it's just some petty thugs bullying and monopolizing the market. I get it."

Captain Jiang immediately understood what was going on, and then waved to a few colleagues beside him: "Take these three street thugs back to the station and see if we can get anything useful out of them."

"Yes, Captain Jiang."

Soon, several police officers put bright handcuffs on the three street thugs. The thug who had been knocked unconscious by Li Yunshan even got to be woken up with ice water.

A basin of ice-cold water was poured over his head, and he woke up instantly with a jolt.

However, upon waking up, she discovered that she had received a pair of silver bracelets.
