The village beauty and me!

"How is this possible?"

"Does this kid have X-ray vision? How could he calculate so accurately and dig up groundwater like that?" Li Manjiang felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had just eaten something.

He stood there dumbfounded, scratching his head in disbelief.

Next, Chen Huan moved a little further upstream and dug a pit nearly a meter deep, from which groundwater continued to gush out.

In this way, his breeding area was quickly replenished with water.

Those fish, shrimp, and crabs that were about to die of thirst also had a chance to survive again.

Chen Huan took out his phone and told Li Chunlan to quickly find someone to temporarily block the tributary downstream of the breeding area to avoid wasting these underground springs.

He put away the phone and glanced at Li Manjiang, who had a dark expression on his face.

Smiling, she said, "Why are you unhappy again?"

"As people get older, the worst thing they can do is experience extreme emotional ups and downs."

"With all this back and forth, you might as well die young."

Li Manjiang gritted his teeth. "Are you threatening me? I don't believe you dare do anything to me."

Chen Huan snorted, took a step closer to him, his face dark, "Originally, we could have left each other alone and not interfered with each other."

"What trees you want to cut down in those forests you've contracted is none of my business."

"I burned your things only because you overstepped your bounds. It wasn't because I provoked you, nor did I intend to do anything further to you."

"But you made a wrong decision today, and you've successfully offended me."

"So I'm telling you this with absolute certainty: from this day forward, you can forget about taking away a single piece of rosewood, not even from the forest you're in charge of."

Li Manjiang's eye twitched, and he involuntarily took two steps back. "Stop bragging!"

"Isn't it my own territory? Can't I even make the decisions?"

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Your territory?"

  

"Who do you think you are? This entire mountain range isn't something you can truly control!"

"Don't think you're so great. In front of this mountain, in front of me, you're nothing!"

After saying that, Chen Huan threw the shovel onto the bank, clapped his hands, and swaggered away.

Li Manjiang stood there stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, and cursed under his breath, "Show-off? I think you're the one showing off to me!"

"Who are you trying to scare? We'll see, we'll kill you sooner or later!"

When Chen Huan returned to the edge of the pool, the villagers that Li Chunlan had hired had already gone to work with their tools.

Zhao Jingjing also came.

Upon learning that Li Manjiang had cut off the water supply upstream, almost destroying Chen Huan's aquaculture area, Zhao Jingjing felt quite guilty.

"I'm so sorry, Chen Huan. It's all because of me that you've been dragged into this."

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Your matter is in the past. This is a feud between me and Li Manjiang, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Keep an eye on things here for me, I'm going into the woods."

Without waiting for Zhao Jingjing's response, Chen Huan crossed the river and walked into the woods.

He originally wanted to go to the big blue stone.

Before they even reached their destination, a commotion arose in the distance, and a white shadow drifted over like a cloud.

"Old Bai, you seem to have improved quite a bit after cultivating all night." Chen Huan looked at the big white fox in front of him and suddenly had this feeling.

He casually took out three golden pills and handed them over.

Big White didn't rush to swallow it; instead, it looked suspicious.

Chen Huan chuckled twice, then sat cross-legged on the ground and reached out to stroke the smooth, soft fur on Lao Bai's body.

He said slowly, "There's a saying: 'A hero protects three villages, a good dog protects three neighbors.' Have you ever heard of it?"

"You are a good fox, a mountain spirit with ideals and a sense of justice."

"In that case, shouldn't you be more responsible and protect the various resources of this entire forest...?"

Old Bai snorted twice at Chen Huan, clearly with a mocking tone.

Chen Huan was embarrassed. "To put it bluntly, I want to ask you for a favor. If anyone tries to cut down rosewood in this whole forest in the future, you're responsible for scaring them away."

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Old Bai actually rolled his eyes at Chen Huan, clearly somewhat displeased.

Just as Chen Huan was worried that the guy would refuse, Lao Bai suddenly stood up straight, raised his head and barked twice.

Not long afterward, rustling sounds could be heard from the surroundings.

All sorts of wild animals, big and small, seemed to have heard a command and rushed over, staying obediently a dozen meters away, like loyal subordinates summoned by a call.

"Damn, Lao Bai, you're doing pretty well."

"Now I'm considered the king of this jungle." Chen Huan immediately understood what Lao Bai meant.

The other party has essentially agreed to my request.

And they even gave a small demonstration of their strength.

Chen Hui was originally worried that Lao Bai wouldn't be able to keep an eye on such a large jungle by himself.

But now, all the animals in the forest listen to Lao Bai, making it incredibly easy for him to monitor the area and prevent Li Manjiang's men from logging rosewood.

The cost of several Golden Pills I take each day is absolutely worth it.

After leaving behind the golden pill and praising Old Bai for a while, Chen Huan finally left the forest satisfied.

At this point, the water gushing from the underground water source had almost completely covered the dried-up riverbed, and the immediate crisis had been resolved.

"You're really resourceful, Chen Huan."

"This underground water source is inexhaustible. Li Manjiang won't have the chance to threaten you again in the future," Zhao Jingjing couldn't help but praise from the side.

Chen Huan gave a wry smile. "This is only temporary."

"The groundwater resources are ultimately limited, and if it doesn't rain in the next couple of days, it might not last much longer."

Zhao Jingjing tensed up, "What should we do?"

"There's always a way out. Let's just take it one step at a time." Chen Huan wasn't nervous at all.

While we were talking, a message came through the chat app.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be sent by the chubby security guard who was guarding the villa area in town.

Dongjiang Wu Yanzu: [Brother, I have some news, but I'm not sure if I should tell you.]

Chen Huan replied directly, "Speak your mind."

Dongjiang Wu Yanzu: [Do you remember that young woman, Liu Qian? I saw her being kidnapped today.]

[Right in the villa area, a van without license plates; you could tell at a glance that the people inside were all gangsters.]

Chen Huan was stunned, then quickly replied, "Are you sure you didn't misjudge me?"

Dongjiang Wu Yanzu: [What do you think I do? Would you mistake me?]

Those guys came in all cocky and arrogant, but they came out in less than five minutes.

I happened to see Liu Qian being tied up in the car, and since I thought you two knew each other, I thought I'd warn you.

[You can decide how to handle it yourself.]

Without hesitation, Chen Huan immediately dialed Liu Qian's number.

The call was answered after a while.

The voice coming from the other end was indeed not Liu Qian's.
