Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.
Chapter 49 Does Might Make Right?
Village entrance.
A group of young and strong men, armed with hoes and shovels, surrounded the villagers of Shuangshu Village with menacing force.
Because of the meat distribution, most of the people present were women. Faced with the imposing manner of Heishan Village, the women did not give an inch!
They surrounded the wolf king's corpse, and several men rushed to the front!
"Damn it, you Black Mountain Village people are causing trouble again. You're used to taking advantage of others, aren't you?"
"Enough nonsense. This wolf king's carcass is clearly the one we killed before. It was the villagers of Shuangshu Village who were vicious enough to steal the carcass. What right do they have to be so self-righteous?"
"Pah, you're talking nonsense! This old wolf king has been separated from the pack for months. The hunters from your Black Mountain Village don't even dare to enter the old forest anymore. You're all scared out of your wits. Stop bragging!"
"Stop arguing! Might makes right! If you dare to stop us again, don't blame us for using our hoes!"
After a heated argument, emotions erupted, and the men of Black Mountain Village, their blood boiling, raised their weapons and prepared to fight.
"stop!"
At the crucial moment, a strong and resonant voice rang out!
Ye Chen pulled Qian Jiali along, parted the crowd, and quickly arrived at the scene.
The moment he appeared, the villagers of Shuangshu Village were all invigorated, as if they had found their pillar of support.
"Ye Chen, you've finally arrived! These bastards cheated!"
"Ye Chen, you were the one who killed the wolf king! The people of Black Mountain Village are shameless!"
"Alright, now that I'm here, let me handle this personally!"
Ye Chen waved his hand to silence the murmurs, then turned to look at the people of Black Mountain Village.
"Who's in charge here? Come out and speak!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen's eyes swept across the entire room, and a terrifying aura surged from his pupils.
Having lived two lives and fought the Wolf King to the death, teetering on the brink of life and death multiple times, Ye Chen had long since developed an invisible sense of oppression.
For a moment, the villagers of Heishan Village looked at him and all lowered their heads.
Being stared at by Ye Chen was like encountering a ferocious beast in the dark; if he got angry, tragedy would befall them in the next second!
With such imposing presence, Ye Chen, all alone, forcefully suppressed dozens of people from Black Mountain Village. The scene was completely silent, as if time had stood still.
"I'm in charge! Your name is Ye Chen, right? Enough with the nonsense!"
Suddenly, a tall figure emerged from among the villagers of Heishan Village; it was a middle-aged man who was nearly two meters tall.
The other person had their chest exposed, and several scars were clearly visible on their chest.
At a glance, Ye Chen recognized that the wound was clearly left by the black bear!
The middle-aged man in front of me must be quite capable to have escaped from the clutches of the three mountain tyrants!
"We've been keeping an eye on this old wolf king in Black Mountain Village for a long time. A couple of days ago, I even personally led a hunting party into the mountains!"
"We cornered the wolf king, and it was clearly you who secretly stole the beast's carcass!"
"Now I'm giving you a chance. Return the body obediently, and I'll let bygones be bygones!"
The middle-aged man spoke, his face grim.
He spoke with an air of righteous indignation, but in his heart he was already plotting something.
If we take the wolf carcass back and distribute the wolf meat to the villagers, we can build a good reputation.
The most valuable thing is still that wolf pelt!
A wolf the size of an old ox—even my ancestors probably never saw one!
If this wolf pelt were sold in the city, it would be worth at least several thousand yuan!
"You're saying you killed the wolf king, so it really is true?"
"Where's the evidence?"
Faced with the middle-aged man's statement, Ye Chen did not back down and instead asked a question.
"Didn't you say you cornered the wolf king? You all must have had the upper hand in your fight against him!"
"Why don't you tell me first, where are the wolf king's wounds? If you answer correctly, then we can discuss the ownership of the wolf carcass!"
"you……"
The middle-aged man's face darkened; he never expected Ye Chen to speak like that!
There were fifty or sixty men on our side, all of them young and strong, armed with weapons.
In contrast, Shuangshu Village has only forty or fifty people, seventy percent of whom are women!
If a fight breaks out, the people of Shuangshu Village will definitely suffer a loss. Does Ye Chen have a death wish to dare to talk back to them?
"Stop with the sweet talk. I've said it before, might makes right!"
"Since you're given a chance and you don't cherish it, brothers, charge! Retrieve the old wolf king's corpse!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, ready to make a move immediately. He even pulled out a hunting rifle from his back, the dark muzzle already aimed at Ye Chen.
Behind them, the people of Black Mountain Village charged out aggressively!
Seeing the impending armed conflict, the women behind Ye Chen couldn't help but panic!
Beside her, Qian Jiali gripped Ye Chen's hand tightly, cold sweat pouring down her face!
"Let's see who dares to mess around; the gun in my hand doesn't have eyes!"
As the conflict was about to erupt, the villagers at the forefront were only two meters away from Ye Chen.
A furious roar suddenly came from outside the encirclement!
For a moment, the entire scene fell silent, and the villagers of Heishan Village all stopped and turned to look!
But then, suddenly, more than twenty people appeared behind them, of varying ages and backgrounds!
The key point is that each of these twenty-odd people was carrying a hunting rifle, and the leader, Tian Cong, was particularly tall and strong.
This small team, though few in number, instantly suppressed the restlessness in my heart.
The villagers of Heishan Village all paled and silently retreated behind the middle-aged man.
In the end, they fought fiercely and ended up at a disadvantage!
"What? Didn't you just say that whoever has the bigger fist is right? Now let's have another contest and see who's stronger."
Qian Jiali said in a deep voice, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
A volley of over twenty shotguns could wound more than a dozen people.
What right do the people of Heishan Village have to act recklessly?
"Very well, you people from Shuangshu Village have really grown up. I'm warning you, this isn't over!"
The middle-aged man stood there, his hands clenched into fists, struggling for a long time.
The situation is now unfavorable. If you dare to act recklessly again, the gun will not have eyes!
In order to save his life, the middle-aged man finally decided to give up for the time being, but in front of so many villagers, he left behind a harsh remark before leaving!
"Your Shuangshu Village really pulled a fast one this time, but this isn't over. I'm warning you, be careful when you go into the forest again!"
"There are many wild animals in the mountains. If I lose my life, my whole family will be in trouble!"
After saying these meaningful words, the middle-aged man waved his hand and led the villagers away.
"Brother Chen, thank goodness I arrived in time..."
As soon as the people from Heishan Village left, Tian Cong immediately surrounded them and began to boast about his achievements.
Ye Chen frowned, gazing in the direction the middle-aged man had gone, a heavy feeling settling in his heart.
Black Mountain Village has always been arrogant and domineering, and is notorious in the surrounding area for being unreasonable!
Having suffered a loss this time, they certainly won't let it go easily. Judging from their intentions, they might resort to underhanded tactics in the forest later!
However, since they've already come to our doorstep, why should we back down?
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. This time, we'll make them realize how powerful Shuangshu Village is!
"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, the people of Heishan Village have already left!"
"Butcher Zheng, please distribute the meat as before. One pound of grain for one pound of meat, and each household can exchange for a maximum of three pounds!"
To reassure everyone, Ye Chen turned around and announced.
This statement immediately drew cheers!
