Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Brother Yuan
Previously, Li Yuan would occasionally catch a couple of wild chickens or rabbits weighing two or three pounds, and no one would question it.
But now, as he carried this bulging sack, a few troublemakers started eyeing him.
Li Yuan was about to walk forward with the sack, but he found two idle young n from the village stepping out to block his path.
He moved to the left, and the young n followed.
He moved to the right, and they blocked him again, clearly trying to stop him.
Li Yuan halted.
One young man among them raised his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "Yuanzi, share a little. You can’t eat all of it with your family."
Another one chuckled and said, "We’re all from the sa workshop, isn’t it fair to share a bit? I don’t want much, just give
three pounds."
The villagers who had been following from behind now surrounded them.
"Yuanzi, my family has run out of rice. You don’t want to see your uncle go hungry, do you?" said one who was trying to retreat to advance...
"Brother Yuan, the lucky catch should be shared equally with everyone, to ensure peace," said another, subtly threatening...
"Xiaoli, you’ve grown up. Let , the old man, oversee justice today..."
This one tried to "advise" from an elder’s perspective.
Unfortunately, before he could finish, Li Yuan interrupted him, "Justice?"
The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "Mountain wealth, those who see have a share. Since you took it, Yuanzi, it’s only fair to divide so for everyone. They aren’t asking for much, just twenty-four or five pounds."
"Heh..." Li Yuan sneered.
The middle-aged speaker continued, "You and your wife are just two people, how much can you eat? Four or five pounds aren’t enough?"
Another chid in, "Yuanzi, don’t be too greedy."
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Yuan’s eyes scanned the distance until he saw a wooden stake, and he directly said, "Let’s arm wrestle there. Whoever wins takes three pounds of at."
The young n blocking the way imdiately beca excited.
But a middle-aged man frowned.
A nearby young man saw this, ran over, and whispered a few words, causing the middle-aged man to suddenly burst into smiles.
Li Yuan heard clearly that the young man was telling him to arm wrestle once Li Yuan’s arms were tired.
Another young man raised his voice and laughed, "Yuanzi, you said it yourself, everyone witnessed it."
Li Yuan didn’t waste words, carrying the sack directly to the old wooden stake by the side of the village entrance, sitting down calmly and asking, "Who’s coming?"
"I am!" One of the young n who had been the loudest stepped forward.
He sat down, propping his elbow on the stake, glaring fiercely at the hunter in front of him, saying, "Yuanzi, we agreed, I’ll carve out my own three pounds of at. I’m afraid you’ll give
the bad parts."
A crowd had gathered around.
People who hadn’t joined earlier also ca over to see the commotion.
After understanding the situation in a few words, many eyes, each with different expressions, focused on Li Yuan.
So were gloating, so sympathetic, and others planning to seize the chance to arm wrestle as well...
Li Yuan calmly glanced around at the people, almost all of them were "0~1
