Chapter 945 Fang Xiaoshi, are you in trouble again?
Chapter 945 Fang Xiaoshi, are you in trouble again?
On the edge of Moushan Village, in a shabby little courtyard, a thin man was chopping wood.
He looked like he was only middle-aged, but his back was already bent by invisible burdens. There was an inextricable depression between his brows, and his whole spirit and energy made him look more like an old man who was about to die.
The man put down his axe and was about to move the freshly chopped wood to the corner of the yard when he suddenly heard the sound of an engine coming from outside.
At first he didn't care, just glanced at it and prepared to continue moving firewood.
But the off-road vehicle that seemed to come from another world was actually parked right in front of his yard, forcing the man to straighten up and take a closer look.
This sight made the man stand still on the spot.
Fang Xiaoshi jumped off the pack animal, led the pack animal, pushed open the gate of his own courtyard, and shouted:
"Dad, I'm back, and I brought a few... friends with me."
"Xiao Shi, you..."
The man was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but stopped immediately. He looked past Fang Xiaoshi at Qi Yan and others who got off the SUV.
He hurriedly greeted them, "Please come in, Xiaoshi, go to the house and get the hot water I just boiled and pour it for you."
"I know, I know. There's no need for you to nag me."
Fang Xiaoshi rushed into the house.
The man also waved to Qi Yan and the others:
"Please come in, I'm a little shabby here, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Wei Yanwu, Qiu Bai and others nodded politely.
Qi Yan couldn't help but look here and there, curious about everything he saw.
"I'm Fang Xiaoshi's father, and I'm also a hunter in this village." The man invited the people to sit down in the yard while he kept looking at their attire.
From the obviously modified off-road vehicle, the hunter guessed that Qi Yan and others were of extraordinary status.
After taking a closer look at this moment, the hunter couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Qi Yan and the others did not wear gold or silver, but the materials of their clothes were all of the best quality. Especially the middle-aged man and the three girls, their temperament and demeanor were definitely not those of ordinary people!
What frightened the hunter even more was the racial characteristics of Wei Yanwu and Chen.
Fang Xiaoshi didn’t understand, and neither did the villagers who had never left the mountains. But the hunter had also traveled far and wide in the past, so how could he not see the noble identities of these two people?
How did my son get involved with these people?
The hunter thought about his son's character, and a desperate guess slowly emerged in his mind.
After Fang Xiaoshi came out with a kettle to pour water for the group, he grabbed Fang Xiaoshi's clothes by the shoulders and nervously led Fang Xiaoshi to bow to everyone:
"Please forgive me, my lords. Fang Xiaoshi is still a child. He offended you outside. It is my fault as a father. No matter how you want to punish him, as long as I can afford it as a father, I can compensate you."
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Fang Xiaoshi immediately struggled in anger.
"Uncle Hunter has misunderstood." Qi Yan quickly stepped forward to explain, "Fang Xiaoshi didn't do anything. He just rode a pack animal to block the road and rob us."
Fang Xiaoshi: “…”
The hunter took a deep breath and almost fainted on the spot.
Chen stepped forward and punched Qi Yan, knocking him aside, and explained to the hunter himself:
"Don't listen to his nonsense. This guy has been diagnosed as mentally ill by his sister. We are Fang Xiaoshi's friends. We are just here to send him home."
When the hunter heard that Qi Yan was actually protected by a mental illness, he became even more frightened.
He shrank back and thanked:
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. If you want any reward... No, I am grateful in my heart. I have some savings at home and I am willing to use them to thank you."
Chen felt uncomfortable when he heard this.
Fang Xiaoshi struggled to break free from the hunter's hand with even more anger, his face flushed and he shouted angrily:
"In your eyes, I can do nothing but cause trouble?"
"Kid... stop making trouble!" The hunter looked embarrassed. "Go back to the house. I will negotiate with the other party about this matter."
"I've already told you, we are friends, and I've even joined their sect!" Fang Xiaoshi was still furious, and tried desperately to prove himself.
Hearing this, the hunter felt even more helpless.
Just as the father and son were in a stalemate, the nosy villagers outside the yard all gathered over.
"Hunter Fang, is your Xiao Shi causing trouble again?"
"Oh, this kid is really a worry. Apologize immediately. I don't think these big shots are going to be difficult for us. Let's apologize in a friendly manner and resolve the matter."
"Aunt Zhou is right. If there is any difficulty, we are all from the same village and can help each other."
Amid the chatter of the villagers, the hunter's face turned even redder and he waved at the villagers again and again.
Fang Xiaoshi understood that the accusation that he had caused trouble outside and was brought to his home was confirmed by this group of people in just a few words.
He was so angry that his body began to tremble slightly, and he didn't even notice that his nails were piercing his flesh when he clenched his fists.
In the yard, Chen and Qiu Bai looked at each other, feeling a little headache, not knowing how to deal with this troublesome matter.
Wei Yanwu leisurely lit a cigarette, crossed his legs on a wooden chair in the yard and watched coldly.
Qi Lin looked at his brother, waiting for the order.
But Qi Yan said nothing. He just excitedly rushed to the courtyard wall and looked at the villagers through the half-person-high earth wall.
Looking at his gaze, the villagers stopped talking at the same time and took a step back cautiously.
"What are you going to do?" a villager asked in surprise.
"Let's see who looks the richest." Qi Yan said with a smile, "Fang Xiaoshi's mistake has been made, and his father alone is definitely not able to compensate for it. I'm having a headache.
I didn't expect that our village is so united and friendly. Since everyone is willing to share the compensation, I, Qi Xiaobai, can't refuse. How about this, everyone present can contribute two pieces of red gold."
As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers retreated as if they had encountered something dirty.
In an instant, the area around the hunter's yard became spacious.
"Young master, what did Fang Xiaoshi do wrong?" someone asked tentatively.
"He robbed people on the road." Qi Yan still had a smile on his face, "He also cheated people. Where do you think he got his pack animal? There are countless other petty thefts. He hasn't done any legitimate business outside the village in the past year or so."
The villagers' faces changed drastically again, and even the hunter couldn't help but look worried.
Qi Yan rubbed his hands and asked the villagers with a smile:
"We are all from the same village. We have watched Fang Xiaoshi grow up. Plus, you all spoke so affectionately just now. I guess you all don't want to see Fang Xiaoshi go to jail, right?"
The villagers fell into silence.
After a while, someone in the crowd shouted:
"In fact, the hunter's family is rich. When Fang Xiaoshi blew up the ancestral temple, it was the hunter who paid for its repairs."
After hearing this man's reminder, many villagers immediately reacted.
"That's right. The hunter has been hunting frequently over the years. Although the harvest is not much, it still helped Fang Xiaoshi save some money."
"Not only that, don't forget that Fang Xiaoshi came back riding a pack animal, which is worth a lot of money!"
"I see that Fang Xiaoshi's clothes are bulging, I'm afraid he might be hiding something valuable."
Some even went so far as to add insult to injury, shouting:
"Fang Xiaoshi fled the village because he committed a crime. His crime has nothing to do with us. We have long since severed all ties with him!"
"Wait!"
When Qi Yan heard the last person's shout, he suddenly seemed to realize something: "You said your village has severed ties with Fang Xiaoshi?"
"Yes!" The villager nodded repeatedly.
Qi Yan immediately looked regretful and turned to Wei Yanwu and said:
"Since Fang Xiaoshi has nothing to do with Moushan Village anymore, you should take back the support policies and the benefits of paving the highway for Moushan Village for his sake."
Wei Yanwu flicked off his cigarette ash and nodded.
"It's a wasted trip. Let's see which poor village we meet on the way and give the quota away."
