Chapter 94 Getting Rich (46 chapters, please subscribe)

One man against thirty-two well-equipped bandits, and he still managed to wipe them all out.

What terrifying power this is!

He took a deep breath and, recalling his earlier boastful declaration to go with Chen Fan, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't go with him, otherwise I would have just become a burden to him, and we might both have died at the hands of those bandits.

"I have a feeling that he's stronger than the last time I saw him."

A complex expression appeared on Gu Ze's face.

Can I really catch up with this guy?

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things," he shook his head, banishing the thoughts from his mind. "I must get back as soon as possible and get everyone together."

After all, Songjiabao was not a place to stay for long. The longer they lingered, the more likely they were to attract the attention of those with ill intentions.

He put away his binoculars and ran back quickly.

Two kilometers away, Chen Fan estimated that it was about time, so he turned around and looked at the corpses scattered on the ground in the distance.

"Wouldn't I consider this doing a service to the people?"

If these bandits are allowed to live any longer, who knows how many more innocent people will die at their hands.

"what?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

On the vast wilderness, more than twenty wildebeests stood in small groups, some of them already grazing on wild grass, as if nothing had happened.

"?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment. He had thought that these wildebeest would scatter and run away after losing their owner.

"Perhaps I can take these guys back?"

The idea popped into his head.

Once we have these mounts, it will be much more convenient to go hunting outside the village or to exchange goods at Songjiabao.

However, there were just too many wildebeest, and what was even more frustrating was that he didn't know how to ride a horse and didn't know how to bring them back.

"Oh right, it seems we can take them all back?"

A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

If one person leads one end, they can only lead fifteen heads. But what if one person leads two ends? Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Thinking of this, he felt even more fortunate to have Gu Ze and the others join the village; many hands make light work.

"By the way, while there aren't many people around, let's quickly loot the bandits' belongings. Dad and the others should be here by then."

He made up his mind and walked in the direction of the bald, burly man.

This guy probably has the most stuff on him.

The corpse's eyes were wide open, and its face was filled with pain.

Chen Fan sighed softly, walked up to him, squatted down, and first opened the left pocket. A wallet the size of a palm rolled onto the grass.

Chen Fan's breathing quickened immediately. He picked up the wallet and felt its weight. When he opened it, he found a thick stack of banknotes, almost all of them hundred-yuan bills, mixed with fifty-yuan and ten-yuan bills.

There are also a few 1,000 yuan notes!

"One thousand, two thousand, three thousand..."

He quickly counted the money and finally confirmed that it was more than 13,000 yuan!

What does that mean?

The bow with a draw weight of 500 jin that he had wanted to buy before can now be purchased easily.

Want to buy an alloy gun barrel? An alloy battle sword over a meter long? No problem!

Even if you convert all of it to ten yuan per kilogram of blood rice, you can still buy more than 1,300 kilograms!

"Is murder and robbery still a faster way to make money?"

Chen Fan sighed.

Perhaps this is what was left after the bandits had indulged in a life of debauchery.

Besides the money, there was also a photo in the wallet. It showed a family of three: a man, a woman, and their daughter. The daughter looked to be five or six years old, with an innocent smile on her face.

Judging from the man's appearance, he was indeed the corpse on the ground, but in the photo, he still had hair.

They must have gone through something bad.

With that thought in mind, Chen Fan took the photo out of his wallet and put it into the other person's hand.

Then he put the wallet in his pocket and walked to the other person's other side.

He opened the other pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a small notebook with a ballpoint pen clipped to the cover.

Chen Fan picked up the lighter and cigarettes. He didn't smoke because smoking was harmful to his health, but he could sell them. A pack of cigarettes could easily be exchanged for twenty or thirty kilograms of ordinary rice.

Then, he curiously opened the notebook and saw that half of it was filled with densely packed small characters, with the date written at the top of each page.

"This guy even keeps a diary every day?"

Chen Fan had a strange expression on his face. Who keeps a diary?

However, this diary might contain some information he doesn't know, such as what other villages are nearby? What forces are involved?

After all, the other party was a bandit, and he was riding a horse.

At his speed, even if he went to Anshan City, which is a hundred miles away, it would only take him two or three hours. Why not one hour? Because one hundred kilometers per hour is the limit for a wildebeest, and it cannot maintain that speed for too long.

He also put the diary in his pocket. Time was of the essence right now; he would read it slowly when he got back.

"I remember he was holding binoculars earlier?"

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, avoiding the bloodstains, and felt around in the other person's shirt pocket, and sure enough, he felt the hard object.

Upon opening it, I found a telescope, along with some banknotes, all in one-yuan, two-yuan, and five-yuan denominations, totaling about ten yuan.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, so Chen Fan pocketed it.

"That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't this guy have any martial arts manuals on him?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

He searched again, but found nothing.

"Perhaps he didn't bring it with him."

After searching for a long time without finding anything, Chen Fan had no choice but to accept reality.

Fortunately, I made more than 10,000 yuan at once, which was a pleasant surprise.

He stood up and walked toward the two corpses beside him.

After some trial and error, I figured it out.

Compared to their leader, these two had far less money, only a few hundred yuan combined.

However, there are quite a few other little gadgets.

A pack and a half of cigarettes, a few lighters, a small knife, and a small bottle of seasonings. Chen Fan opened it and smelled it; it was cumin.

He couldn't help but wonder to himself, could it be that this group of people are always out picnicking?

The subsequent search confirmed his suspicions.

MSG, salt, sugar, and even some honey—it's clear this group knows how to enjoy life.

There were far more miscellaneous items than he had imagined. Chen Fan's hands gradually became too full to carry them all, so he simply took off someone's coat, tied a knot, and put all the loot inside.

Of course, he also made sure to pry the weapons out of the other person's hands, as they were all worth money.

However, there is also bad news.

In the distance, several people were peering in this direction.

Because they weren't quite sure what was going on, they all remained still. However, the herd of wildebeest and the corpses on the ground were constantly stimulating their nerves.

"We can't continue like this."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

There were a few more corpses that he hadn't had time to search. They were quite far away, and he was worried that if he went over, the group would target the wildebeest.

That won't do.

Those are all his things!

So he decisively abandoned his loot and placed the loot and various weapons around a herd of wildebeest, holding a bow and arrow in his hand and staring at the people looking in his direction.

If that group gets close, he will give them a warning; if they don't listen, he will kill them.

The people opposite were still hesitating.

Just then, a group of people appeared in the distance and quickly approached.

Chen Fan's heart tightened, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who it was. It was Gu Ze and the others; they had finally arrived.

On the other side, Chen Guodong saw from afar that Chen Fan was safe and sound, and a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

When he heard Gu Ze say that Chen Fan had single-handedly taken on a group of bandits, he turned pale with fright. More than thirty people! Could Xiao Fan possibly be a match for him?

Despite Gu Ze's repeated instructions, he was still uneasy and rushed all the way, fearing that something might happen if he was late.

Fortunately, it was all a false alarm.

Seeing this, the group of people in the distance were unwilling but helpless, and had no choice but to leave.

"Xiao Fan, are you alright?"

Chen Guodong rushed over and asked immediately.

"Dad, what could be wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

"Are you really not injured?"

Chen Guodong was still uneasy and watched for a long time before he dared to relax.

"Xiao Fan, you are truly skilled and daring. You dare to take on a group of people all by yourself." Liu Yong rarely put away his smile, and said with a complicated expression.

"Yes, that's too dangerous."

"Thank goodness you're safe and sound."

"Unfortunately, we are all too weak to be of much help."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, feeling both happy for Chen Fan and ashamed.

Gu Ze had already recounted the whole scene. At that time, the bandits were all looking at the exit with binoculars, and no one knew who their target was.

If it were someone else, they should be able to return to the village safely; but if it were them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

According to Gu Ze, at that time, anyone who went would have been a burden to Chen Fan, because their speed was far inferior to that of the wildebeest.

"How could that be?"

Chen Fan smiled nonchalantly, "I did it because I was confident, and as it turns out, there was no real danger. Uncles, there's no need to take it to heart."

In truth, he insisted on taking risks.

If he waits a few more days, his strength will only increase, and dealing with these bandits will be much easier.

Firstly, with more people in the village, there was an urgent need for food and salt, and the prey would become stale. Secondly, he also wanted to verify the truth of what Meng Yu said.

"Why."

Everyone nodded, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, everyone, don't worry about that. What we really need to do is look at the wildebeest these bandits are riding. I think with fifteen of us, each of us leading two horses, we should be able to get them back to the village without much trouble. Does anyone have any better suggestions?"

As Chen Fan spoke, he looked at the more than twenty wildebeest around him.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked around and their breathing became rapid.

They had actually noticed it when they arrived, but they were worried about Chen Fan's safety and only realized now that everyone seemed to have struck it rich.

As is well known, wild wildebeest are difficult to capture and are untamed, refusing to be ridden. Therefore, it is almost impossible to capture a wild wildebeest for use as a mount.

Therefore, these mounts must have been raised from a young age, and they are docile and rideable. As a result, their price is at least three or four times higher!

An ordinary adult wildebeest, priced at five yuan per kilogram, is worth one or two thousand yuan. Such an adult mount simply cannot be acquired for less than five or six thousand yuan.

In other words, these twenty-odd animals in front of us are worth more than 100,000 yuan!

What an astonishing number!
