Li Guang laughed as he imagined the tragic scene of Wang Hao being bitten.
But as the village chief had tasked him and the other villagers with framing Wang Hao, he worried about how to explain the plan to the others.
"So... chief, how should I ’bite’ Wang Hao and not let go? Give so advice,"
Li Guang said with so difficulty.
"That’s your problem, I couldn’t be bothered to co up with ideas for you. It was you who clamored for revenge against Wang Hao. I’ve laid the road for you, now you figure out the plan yourself,"
Zhao Youquan said and then left.
He knew Li Guang always liked to shirk responsibility, and if sothing wasn’t successful, he’d be the first to flee the field.
How could such petty tricks deceive him?
"If I have to think for myself, then I’ll think for myself."
Li Guang curled his lips, then suddenly, an idea lit up his mind, a brilliant stratagem flashing before his eyes.
He sneered as he watched the village chief walk away.
"Hmph, playing the official in front of . Tonight, I’ll make your wife kneel and lick my boots!"
Having said that, Li Guang swaggered off.
Little did Zhao Youquan know that all along, he had a taphorical green hat on his head...
Wang Hao had originally wanted to confide in Zheng Cailian.
Having overheard the conspiracy between the village chief and Li Guang, he quickly turned around to discuss counterasures with Su Zhenping.
Arriving at Su’s Mountain Goods Store, he detailed the whole matter to Su Zhenping.
Su Zhenping frowned after hearing everything.
He thought for a mont and then said gravely, "I also find it strange. Logically, since Lin Lin manipulates insects to control poisons, the creatures shouldn’t bite people."
"Even if there are too many poisonous creatures, they shouldn’t attack the person casting the spell, right? Could it be..."
Su Zhenping was speaking when suddenly he sprung up, clapping his hands together.
"I’ve got it, I’ve got it, we’re going to make a fortune again!"
Wang Hao and Su Lin were startled by his behavior.
They didn’t understand what he was saying at all; how did it go from poisons to making a fortune?
But they still trusted Su Zhenping, after all, the elder had been dealing with mountain goods his whole life and had plenty of experience.
Su Zhenping did not explain much, only asking the two to prepare and keep heading up the mountain.
anwhile, he went off to the backyard, busy with sothing unknown.
Wang Hao prepared to go ho to get so things and had just approached his house.
He saw the village chief leading a group of people surrounding his ho.
Many of the villagers were the sa ones who had followed Li Guang up the mountain to steal Lingzhi before.
Furthermore, many had been bitten by centipedes.
"Quickly call out your Wang Hao, don’t be a turtle hiding in its shell inside."
Zhao Youquan led the others, shouting.
"Village chief, what do you want with our Haozi? He’s not at ho today."
Wang Dazhu asked confusedly, not understanding the situation.
He was also very worried about his son.
"You have the nerve to ask, just look at how your son Wang Hao has hard these villagers."
The village chief spoke aggressively.
"The county sent down a docunt today; he needs to catch all the centipedes on the mountain, otherwise, they’ll call the police to arrest him."
"That’s right, we all saw that day, it was him who enraged the Mountain God and brought the centipedes," Li Guang followed up loudly.
"Right, we were bitten by the centipedes, he needs to compensate us for the dical expenses," the bitten villagers roared defiantly one after another.
These were real scoundrels, they had initially instigated the robbery, but now they were playing the bla ga.
The more Wang Hao listened, the angrier he got, and with fury, he barged into the crowd.
"What’s all the shouting for? What’s all the shouting?"
He glared at Zhao Youquan as he spoke.
"If you have guts, confront , what’s the use of barking at my old man? Don’t you know very well what you’ve done? Do you really want to spell it out for you?"
Chastised by Wang Hao, knowing they were in the wrong, the villagers dared not speak.
"Finally dare to show up, everyone, be the judge, after harming us all like this, does he still want to threaten us?"
Li Guang, with his irritating deanor, incensed Wang Hao even more.
"Is that so?"
Wang Hao sneered.
"Li Guang, those dirty deeds you did, do you want to list them out one by one for everyone to hear? Don’t ask for trouble here."
Li Guang was stunned after hearing that.
Wang Hao must have known about his affair with the woman.
If he spilled the beans about him and the village chief’s wife, Li Guang certainly wouldn’t have an easy life in Chen Village anymore.
With these thoughts, Li Guang dared not confront Wang Hao head-on and slowly backed away.
"What a useless piece of trash!"
Zhao Youquan cursed inwardly.
These people are unreliable; when it cos to the crunch, he has to take matters into his own hands.
"You little bastard, couldn’t make it in the city and now you co back to ss with the villagers, look what you’ve done to everyone, I should’ve never agreed to let you move your household registration back here..."
"Alright, Village Chief, isn’t it just catching centipedes? I’ll go!"
Wang Hao cut Zhao Youquan off.
"But if you involve my family again in the future, watch out, I won’t be polite!"
Wang Hao threw down these harsh words, his eyes glaring sharply at Zhao Youquan.
Zhao Youquan felt a shiver down his spine from the glare, but the thought of getting rid of this nuisance soon made him agree readily.
"Good! Before the sun sets today, you bring back four snake skin bags full of centipedes. If you don’t, get ready to willingly walk into the police station!"
Zhao Youquan yelled loudly.
Man, this village chief really has a black heart, four snake skin bags of centipedes!
Even if the whole village went searching, wouldn’t it take at least two days to find them all?
This is clearly a trap for !
But Wang Hao was aware that Zhao Youquan was using the county’s authority to target him.
If he didn’t comply, he feared that with this old bull’s exaggeration, it wouldn’t be as simple as just going to the police station.
"Fine, keep your eyes peeled and watch, I’ll go catch them for you!"
Wang Hao said fiercely and then took his things and left the house.
"Haozi, make sure you co back safe!"
Wang Dazhu and Huang Yufen stood at the entrance of their courtyard and shouted.
Watching their son embark on an adventure without being able to help, all they could do was pray at ho for his safe return.
Once Wang Hao had walked far, Li Guang approached Zhao Youquan and gave a thumbs up.
"Village Chief, that was a brilliant move. Even if he doesn’t get bitten to death by centipedes on the mountain, there’s no way he could find four snake skin bags full before dark."
The village chief smiled smugly, "This ti, he’s got no chance of escape..."
On the road into the mountain, Wang Hao looked somber and remained silent.
"Big Brother Hao, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Su Lin followed behind Wang Hao, asking cautiously.
"How could I be? With Lin Lin by my side, I’m too happy to care!"
Wang Hao did have concerns, but to keep Su Lin from worrying, he deliberately teased her.
"Aiyah, Big Brother Hao, you’re so naughty, always picking on people."
Hearing Wang Hao’s response, Su Lin’s face turned red instantly, and after a coquettish complaint, she turned her head away and stopped paying attention to him.
"Lin Lin is so beautiful and has such a nice personality, how could I bear to tease you? I don’t have enough ti to pamper you."
A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Hao’s mouth, his words sweet as honey.
"Annoying, who wants your pampering."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin’s heart blossod with joy, yet she pretended to be angry and continued walking ahead with her back to Wang Hao.
"The mountain path is rough, let hold your hand."
After saying this Wang Hao reached out and took Su Lin’s small hand.
This little hand was really soft and smooth; its warm temperature instantly touched Wang Hao’s nerves, making him feel an inner fervor.
Caught off guard by Wang Hao’s sudden grip, Su Lin felt a tingling sensation like an electric shock, and her heart raced wildly, yet she didn’t pull away.
It wasn’t until they passed the steep slope that she saw Wang Hao hadn’t let go.
She couldn’t help but say softly with a blushing face, "Big Brother Hao, the path is easier now."
"Oh!"
Wang Hao responded, but still didn’t let go.
Having managed to hold her hand, an opportunity for intimate contact, he obviously didn’t want to let go.
As they walked, they ca to the side of a valley.
"Lin Lin, do you rember this place?"
As soon as Su Lin saw it, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into; her face was so red it seed ready to bleed.
Wasn’t this where Wang Hao sucked the centipede poison out for her?
At that ti, he was on her lower abdon, his mouth...
