Liu Hun watched Fen Ran’s departing figure strangely, unable to guess what she was thinking. If only the dilapidated temple at the village entrance could be used to store medicinal herbs and then develop medical skills for the welfare of the villagers of Wanbao Village. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? However, he knew in his heart that to obtain the temple, he must get the village chief’s approval. The village chief’s home was indeed much more affluent than an average family’s home, with many pieces of furniture and items Liu Hun had never seen. Just as Liu Hun was marveling at it, the main door suddenly opened, and two men walked in. “Oh dear, look at me... you can’t say that, can you? This bronchitis of mine can’t get better in a short while.” The village chief, Ye Canghai, smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. Before the other man spoke, Ye Canghai noticed Liu Hun sitting in front of his house. Feeling odd, he asked, “Eh? Liu Hun, what are you doing at my place?” Liu Hun stood up and explained everything he knew. Ye Canghai laughed heartily, “Good, good, thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, my little woman would have suffered. Liu Hun, I really need to thank you.” “Rural folks,” the man nearby scoffed. Whether his voice was too low or not, Ye Canghai paid him no mind and patted Liu Hun on the shoulder, “Not bad, with your skills, if you use them in the city, you could become a captain of the security team. That would benefit our Wanbao Village!” “The skills of a street performer and you dare to show them off?” The man laughed coldly, his eyes peculiar. To him, Liu Hun was just an unemployed vagrant, a true country bumpkin. This man, Liu Hun knew, was Mo Wen, the only one in the village who had attended high school. Because of this, after graduating, his view of the villagers changed. In all of Wanbao Village, only the village chief’s home was worthy in his eyes. Liu Hun raised his eyebrows, “Village chief, I’d like to borrow the dilapidated temple at the village entrance to store medicinal herbs, would that be okay?” “This... Liu Hun, it’s not that I’m saying this, but the dilapidated temple is property of the entire village. If I just give it to you like this, it might not be appropriate,” Ye Canghai said reluctantly. “Village chief, I know the temple is the village’s communal property. But I want to store herbs and open a pharmacy for everyone’s good, don’t I? I can help everyone when they’re sick.” Ling Fei felt uneasy. From the moment the village chief and Mo Wen entered, he felt Mo Wen’s strange gaze upon him. Until just now, when he proposed to store herbs in the temple, Mo Wen’s eyes seemed to blaze with fire. Could it be that this guy also wanted the temple? “Liu Hun, listen to me. This dilapidated temple is the only property in the village, belonging to everyone. I can’t make decisions on my own,” Ye Canghai said, looking troubled. Mo Wen sneered, “Village chief, ignore him. He’s just a person with no connections. What does he know about business opportunities?” Liu Hun felt that in the past few years, he had only occasionally encountered Mo Wen and couldn’t remember how he had offended this kid. “You can’t say that, can’t you? We can’t just let the temple go to waste. I’m doing a good deed for the whole village.” Mo Wen chuckled, “What nonsense are you talking about? By your logic, if no one goes to the bank, does that mean the money can be used? You step aside, don’t block us.” Liu Hun grew impatient with Mo Wen constantly clashing with him. He decisively said, “In that case, let’s let the whole village vote. If they disagree, I’ll abandon the temple, and you can think whatever you want.” “This...” This clearly was a slap in his face. Everyone knew that Liu Hun had cured Mao’er and beaten the one-eyed old lady, which gained him some status in Wanbao Village. He worried that if this kid had a vote, his dreams would be dashed. Mo Wen’s mouth twitched, unable to think of anything to counter Liu Hun. He forced a smile and said to Ye Canghai, “This is really... Liu Hun saying this is just disrespecting the village chief. How can he go out like this? Whether he can get the temple’s usage right isn’t it just up to one word from the village chief?” After speaking, Mo Wen arrogantly tilted his chin at Liu Hun and said, “I’m right, village chief. I’ve seen you cough for a long time, so I brought something really good for you to cure your cough.” “Really? Quick, let me see!” The village chief’s eyes lit up. Mo Wen lifted his bag, “Look, these are top-quality pears that can cure your cough. One can promote blood circulation and remove stasis, two can stop coughing. Quick effects, immediate increase, see the good.” “What you’re saying is true?” Ye Canghai was thrilled hearing Mo Wen’s words. If these pears really worked, not to mention one dilapidated temple, even two wouldn’t be a problem! Liu Hun helplessly smiled, realizing that this guy also had his eyes on the temple and even brought gifts. Emotionally and rationally, Ye Canghai had no reason to refuse, especially with his long-standing bronchitis, these pears seemed like a perfect remedy. “Fake,” Liu Hun laughed coldly. “You...” Mo Wen’s hand holding the pear suddenly halted in mid-air. He snorted, “What do you know? These are top-quality pears, excellent supplements. I see, you just can’t get your hands on it and still want to bite!” “Fake is fake, it’s a fact that can’t be changed,” Liu Hun glanced at Mo Wen. “Say that again!” Mo Wen was enraged, pointing straight at Liu Hun. “You make these statements clear here today. If you don’t explain it properly, I’ll never let you go! It’s an insult; it’s slander!” Ye Canghai wanted to mediate between the two but couldn’t suppress a cough and coughed several times. Liu Hun chuckled and said, “Since these pears are so magical as you said, let the village chief try them. If eating two still has no effect, you would just slap your own face, wouldn’t you?” “You...” Liu Hun’s words left Mo Wen tongue-tied. He had said it to strengthen his impressions of himself in the village chief’s heart. With one sentence, Liu Hun not only hit Mo Wen back to his original form but left him instantly speechless, not knowing what to say. Countless people coveted the decrepit temple at the village entrance. Mo Wen thought he would be the first to start, but looking at Liu Hun, he finally understood that this kid would definitely become his future opponent.
