Wan Feng looked at Li Xiaobao’s expression and knew that Li Xiaobao was joking.
He did so merely as revenge for the false accusations Ah-Fang had previously made against him.
Eventually, Li Xiaobao took the old man’s hand again.
A few minutes later, Elder Wan’s complexion turned rosy again.
He coughed twice and opened his eyes.
“It’s a miracle, truly a miracle!”
The people around watched as Elder Wan slowly stood up, their faces filled with surprise.
“Hmph!
You mortals, of course, don’t know my prowess!” Li Xiaobao hummed proudly at the crowd, then turned and grabbed Ah-Fang’s hair, throwing her down heavily in front of Wan Feng.
“Wait a minute!
And you, you fearless thing!” Li Xiaobao did not spare Huang Mao, who had already fainted, and dragged him over as well.
“Brother Wan, I was wrong, please give me another chance!” Ah-Fang started sobbing incessantly.
She too was from the countryside and had found such a good job in the city, earning thousands a month, which was much better than farming at home.
However, ever since she got involved with Huang Mao, she barely worked at all.
“Hmph!
Give you another chance, so you want my dad to die again, is that it?” Wan Feng said icily to Ah-Fang, “Enough.
You’re fired, starting today!”
“Brother Wan!
Please don’t!” Ah-Fang had developed a habit of laziness and gluttony since she hooked up with Huang Mao, and it would be a problem if Wan Feng really fired her.
“Get out, get out of here!” Finally, Wan Feng roared without regard for his image, frightening Ah-Fang and Huang Mao into fleeing with each other’s support.
“This is infuriating!” Wan Feng watched Huang Mao and Ah-Fang’s retreating figures, his face turning red with anger as he panted heavily.
He then turned back to Li Xiaobao and said, “Young man, this is my business card.
If you need any help in the future, as long as it’s within my power, I will do my best!”
“Then I won’t be polite!” Li Xiaobao took the business card from Wan Feng’s hand and shook it, resting the sickle on his shoulder.
Wan Feng wanted to treat Li Xiaobao to a meal, but Li Xiaobao declined.
His own trip to the city was originally for scouting projects, and there was no point in dining without having surveyed his projects.
“Young man, could you please check on my family’s old man’s illness?”
“Yes!
Young man, my family’s old man has been bedridden for over a decade, can you check on him?”
“And my dad’s legs aren’t working well!”
“……”
The crowd, thinking that since Li Xiaobao could revive a dead man, treating a living person shouldn’t be a problem, started appealing to him.
Treat you?
Save someone?
Li Xiaobao, listening to the crowd, coldly laughed and said, “When I was falsely accused just now, why didn’t any of you stand up for me and speak the truth?
Now you want my help?
No way!”
“Hey!
Young man, that’s not right.
They say saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-tiered stupa.
How can you lack kindness like that?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
After someone spoke up, the people began agreeing and nodding.
Li Xiaobao, not wanting to say anything more to them, swung his sickle and cleared a path of blood, sitting down on his tricycle.
All morning, Li Xiaobao wandered around the city, thinking about what new projects to scout.
After all, he felt that making money wasn’t a big issue; the question was what projects could help his villagers make money too.
Unknowingly, it was past noon.
He found a restaurant to grab something to eat and then head back.
“Cousin, it’s that guy!” In a distant corner, a sneaky figure spoke to the person next to him.
It was Little Erhei.
“Is it him?” Little Erhei’s cousin, Zhao Yuan, looked coldly at Li Xiaobao and said.
“Yes!
Cousin, it’s that kid who made me unable to survive in Kao Mountain Village.
You have to stand up for me!” Little Erhei looked at Zhao Yuan, saying mournfully.
“Little Erhei, are you really that incapable?
Got scared by such a kid?” Zhao Yuan looked at Little Erhei contemptuously, adjusted the large cap on his head, and said, “Don’t worry, I will handle him at the station and ensure he is taught a lesson!”
“Thank you, cousin!” Little Erhei, hearing this, hastily bowed and nodded, smiling.
Zhao Yuan didn’t bother with Little Erhei any longer, turned, and got into a police car.
He said something to his subordinates and then the police car stopped in front of Li Xiaobao’s tricycle.
“Whose tricycle is this?” Zhao Yuan got out of the car and shouted, pointing at Li Xiaobao’s broken tricycle and started cursing.
Li Xiaobao was eating inside the restaurant, about to return to Kao Mountain Village when unexpectedly a police car blocked his tricycle.
He hurriedly came out and said, “Mine, what’s the problem?”
“You know it’s yours, what else?” Zhao Yuan looked at Li Xiaobao with a cold smile, “Nothing much; you’re suspected of driving without a license, and the vehicle is being detained!”
“What did you say?” Li Xiaobao jumped up upon hearing Zhao Yuan’s words, infuriated.
Did one need a license to drive a tricycle??
“Err…
No, wrong, you’re suspected of intentional injury, come with us to the police station!” Zhao Yuan also realized he was not proficient with his duties and quickly corrected himself.
“Intentional injury?
Who did I injure?” Li Xiaobao said angrily, his trip into the city had not been easy.
First, he faced false accusations, and now a policeman had come.
“Me!” At that moment, Little Erhei’s voice could be heard, and then Li Xiaobao saw him standing behind Zhao Yuan, still not having removed his bandages.
