Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Hu Shan wasn't scared at all when he saw Yang Bai fire the gun. He knew that someone like Yang Bai, who had become wealthy, would never shoot and hurt them.

"Yang Bai, don't try to scare us with a hunting rifle. I'm not easily intimidated!"

"If you have the guts, shoot me in the head."

"We want justice today! I only have one question for you: can you take us to Widow's Sea to share the catch?"

The villagers of Shatou Village behind Hu Shan were filled with indignation.

"I've never heard of such a request before."

Yang Bai pressed the shotgun directly against Hu Shan's forehead.

With a "click," the safety latch was engaged.

"If you utter one more word, I'll shoot his dog's head off!"

Hu Shan's throat tightened as he felt the coldness of the gun barrel against his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly.

Yang Bai tried to scare him, and he wasn't afraid, but the gun was already pressed against his forehead, and the safety had been pulled.

If he accidentally pulls the trigger, his forehead will explode.

"Yang Bai, let's talk things over slowly. We just want fairness."

"There's no need for this. Put the shotgun down."

Yang Bai raised an eyebrow.

"No need? I think you're really eager to kill our villagers to vent your anger, and you even want to demolish the crab farm?"

Yang Bai pressed the gun against Hu Shan's forehead even harder.

"Let's see who dares to demolish this today! Whoever does, I'll shoot them!"

Yang Bai released the gun barrel, and Hu Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, he turned the gun around.

"Bang"

Yang Bai pulled the trigger again, firing a shot into the ear of a burly man behind him. The bullet grazed his earlobe and went straight into the sea.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The burly man knelt on the ground, clutching his bleeding ear and wailing in pain.

"......"

In an instant, the entire place fell into dead silence, with only the sounds of the wind, the waves, breathing, and the screams of the burly man remaining in the air.

His screams were extremely jarring to the ears of the villagers of Shatou.

They swallowed hard, their hearts pounding in their throats as they watched the burly man writhing on the ground in pain.

None of them expected Yang Bai to actually fire, especially at the head. If the shot had missed even a fraction of an inch, the burly man's head would have exploded.

Hu Shan looked at Yang Bai, his eyes filled with coldness, and Yang Bai held Hu Shan's throat so tightly that he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

He then realized that he had messed with a ruthless person.

Yang Bai smiled slightly, put away the gun, and looked at the terrified Hu Shan.

"This shot was for my wounded brother. There are a few more shots left inside. Want to try them too?"

Hu Shan waved his hands repeatedly, saying that Yang Bai was absolutely crazy. He was so rich, yet he still dared to shoot people. He wasn't afraid of getting into trouble at all!

These kinds of people are really worth fighting to the death with!

"We can talk, absolutely."

"Yang Bai, you know that even if you beat me to death today, this matter is not over."

"Several villages along the coast are hoping to visit Widow's Sea."

"Winter is coming soon. You know the situation in the coastal waters, and our wooden boats can't go out to sea in the open."

"We have two requests: either a fleet of boats from several nearby villages will be formed and you will take us in."

"Either you can only operate within one sea area! These demands are not unreasonable."

Yang Bai smiled and shook his head.

"Not excessive? Only you could say something like that."

If these two demands are met, Haiba Village will lose all face, and everyone in the village will think they are easy to bully.

If you leave the village, you'll get beaten up.

Such conditions would probably only be signed with tears in his eyes if Li Hongzhang were to be resurrected.

"So this is what you call 'talking'? You keep asking us for money without contributing a single penny, and you call that 'talking'?"

"This is blatant robbery!"

Hu Shan said with a gloomy expression.

"This is fair. You occupy Widow's Sea, so why do you have so many more stretches of sea?"

"Ultimately, your village wants it all!"

Yang Bai pointed in the direction of Widow's Sea.

"Occupying Widow's Sea? We've never occupied it. If you're willing to go in, go ahead. Would we stop you?"

"To block the way with a gun is called 'stopping,' but if no one stops you, you can't get in. If you insist on calling it 'stopping,' then you're incompetent!"

Yang Bai directly and clearly saw through their thoughts.

Hu Shan gritted his teeth, his face turning red with anxiety.

"Then why don't you lead us in? Are you happy to see us fail to catch any fish?"

Yang Bai frowned.

"Why should I take you in? Am I your father or your grandfather?"

"If something happens like Liu Caixia, will you blame it on your father?"

Hu Shan had never been so humiliated. A surge of anger welled up in his heart. He clutched his chest and pointed at Yang Bai.

"you!"

Yang Bai continued.

"Today I'll teach you what the hell fairness is!"

"If you could enter the Widow's Sea as freely as I do today, I wouldn't stop you, nor could I."

"We will jointly develop the resources of the Widow Sea. That's fair."

"If you can't get in, you'll be thinking about having others put meat in your mouths and even stealing rice from other people's bowls."

"This isn't fair, it's robbery!"

He held his hunting rifle, neither humble nor arrogant.

"If you try to take action, the people of our village aren't cowards either!"

The men of Haiba Village behind Yang Bai all picked up their weapons and stood ready for battle.

After several arguments, Hu Shan couldn't reason with anyone. His chest heaved violently, and his eyes glared fiercely at the group of fishermen from Haiba Village behind Yang Bai.

Yang Bai had a hunting rifle slung over his waist, and he had already fired two rounds. He didn't have much iron shot or gunpowder to carry with him.

Today, the two sides have completely broken off relations. We cannot simply slink away like this. We must force Shatou Village to agree to a condition.

If they go back empty-handed, not only will the villagers gossip about them, but the surrounding villages will also look down on Haiba Village.

Right now, all the villages are watching from the sidelines, just waiting for Shatou Village to take the lead and cause trouble.

If our own people take advantage of our superior numbers, it will be even more difficult to reap the benefits later if we back down now.

"Damn it! First, snatch the hunting rifle from Yang Bai's hand, then go and raid his crab farm!"

As Hu Shan roared, the able-bodied young men of Shatou Village grabbed hoes, sticks, and fishing spears and rushed towards the people from Haiba Village.

Chaos erupted instantly at the seaside pier, with a fierce brawl breaking out on the spot.

The sounds of cursing, the clatter of heavy objects, and screams of pain from being beaten rose and fell.

The women and children watching the spectacle along the riverbank were so frightened that they kept backing away. A few of the bolder women squeezed to the side, anxiously trying to dissuade them, but they couldn't stop the two men from the village who were blinded by rage.

Hu Shan used to be a militia captain, and he was always at the forefront of fights.

He led three trusted men straight to Yang Bai, charging recklessly through the crowd.

Whenever any crew member from Haiba Village tried to stop him, he would punch them hard and knock them to the ground.

He noticed that Yang Bai looked thinner than himself, and his eyes were full of greed and ferocity, like a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb.

But Yang Bai was holding a hunting rifle, so he didn't dare to get close first and immediately waved for his men to go first.

"You won't listen to reason, I'll beat you until you submit!"

The three men gripped their hoes tightly, swung them together, and with tremendous force, chopped at Yang Bai's face.

Yang Bai deftly sidestepped, calmly dodging the three attacks, and slammed the three hoes heavily into the soil.

The hoe was stuck very deep, and even with all their strength, they couldn't pull it out.

Seizing this fleeting opening, Yang Bai turned his hunting rifle around, swung the heavy wooden stock in a wide arc, and smashed it hard into the faces of the three men.

Three muffled impacts rang out in succession.

The hard butt of the gun slammed into the bridge of the three men's noses, leaving several deep red bruises on the spot, and warm blood flowed continuously down their nasal cavities.

The three of them suddenly felt dizzy and their heads throbbed with pain. They collapsed to the ground, unconscious on the spot.
