194: Chapter 172: She is Prettier than Cui Hua 194: Chapter 172: She is Prettier than Cui Hua The motorcycle roared, mud and sand flying on the mountain road, two bikes chasing each other frantically like beasts set free. Wind Breaker was still ahead, and Li Chen was behind, but the distance between them was gradually closing. “How does he manage to keep the throttle open like that?” Feeling the pressure mount as Li Chen almost caught up, Wind Breaker was filled with growing doubt and confusion. Before, when Wind Breaker noticed someone catching up behind him, he had instantly floored the throttle, speeding madly on the mountain road. Except for the occasional slow down due to curves or dips, they maintained top speed, yet the gap between the two was somehow still closing. By now, Li Chen had almost reached Wind Breaker’s back. How on earth did he do it? This question circled endlessly in Wind Breaker’s mind, and he guessed that the chaser must be spending less time on the turns and bumps because in terms of straight distance, they were only competing on the performance of the motorcycles. Li Chen was eyeing the motorcyclist ahead without a change in expression. He was riding this fast solely to rescue Yang Xin quickly. Wind Breaker was anxious, but he completely overlooked the fact that Li Chen wasn’t focused on him at all. After a few more curves and dips, Li Chen had caught up right behind Wind Breaker. “My God, that unknown rider has already taken second place, and he’s just a step behind Wind Breaker!” Sky Thunder was shocked, wondering who this sudden mysterious rider was and how he could be so formidable. Without needing to hear the information in his earpiece, Wind Breaker knew that his pursuer was right on his tail. Up ahead, there was a challenging spot, a long dip followed immediately by a curve. Wind Breaker gritted his teeth, slammed down the pedal, and the motorcycle roared, leaping into the air. But suddenly, he felt as if a dark cloud had covered him. Looking up, he almost froze in astonishment! There above, the following rider leapt extravagantly high, directly over him, effortlessly overtaking him from above. Wind Breaker was stupefied. How could the other rider jump so high? At that moment, a component from Li Chen’s motorcycle fell off, apparently unable to withstand the strain of Li Chen’s antics and tumbling down. The bolt hit Wind Breaker’s helmet and then fell away, while Wind Breaker watched Li Chen jump over his head and land outside the dip, then with an elegant drift, thunder off into the distance. Wind Breaker seemed unable to recover for a while and didn’t notice that his own motorcycle was plunging straight into the dip. “Bang” Wind Breaker plunged into the dip, flipping over, and instantly lost consciousness, but his mind was relentlessly haunted: Why could he jump so high? “My God, Wind Breaker actually crashed into the dip,” Sky Thunder exclaimed in surprise, “and that unknown rider has now taken the first place!” “Wind Breaker, Wind Breaker!” The voice of the coach came through Wind Breaker’s earpiece, but he was already unconscious. This motorcycle cross-country championship was destined to be big news, with headlines likely reading, “Genius Rider Crashes into Pit, Now Receiving Hospital Treatment,” or “Genius Rider Defeated by Mysterious Rider, Crashes into Pit,” among others. ... Keli Village is a small village deep in the mountains. Due to its remote and impoverished location, the issue of males finding spouses is often problematic. Generally, females from Keli Village would marry outwards to other towns or villages to change their fate, while it was difficult for men to find partners. One reason was a lack of money; another reason was that the females in Keli Village were not willing to marry men from their own village, as it was too poor. Hence, under these dual pressures, the people of Keli Village came up with a solution: bride-buying. Men would go out to work, and after earning money over several years, they would return to buy a bride, acquiring a girl through traffickers to force into marriage, which had become the choice of many Keli Village men. At the moment, in the home of the headman of Keli Village. In a dimly lit room, Yang Xin was bound hand and foot, with a bandage tied over her mouth, making it hard for her to make any noise; even if she managed, it was only a muffled sound. Yang Xin looked out the window, protesting with a muffled sound, frantically wriggling her hands. Suddenly, someone slammed hard on the wooden railing: “Behave yourself, or I’ll crush you to death!” The fierce look on the man’s face startled Yang Xin. However, the man soon turned back, conversing with another person. Yang Xin, looking through the window, could only sporadically see a few heads and was filled with despair. She remembered the ordeal from the previous night, and tears swirled in her eyes. Some things only feel unfortunate when they happen to oneself. Yet involuntarily, Yang Xin thought of Li Chen. At this moment, in her mind appeared the smiling face of Li Chen. Meanwhile, outside the window, next to a dilapidated mud house, three people were chatting. One of them, wearing a worn blue hat, with a face full of sighs and dark skin, was smoking half of a cigarette, while another, the one who had just knocked on the window railing, was extraordinarily thin and had buckteeth, but his face bore a fierce look. Beneath the poor mountains and evil waters, besides the numbness and acceptance of poverty, another character called “troublemaker” was also bred. The remaining one, with a sleazy face, said with a sneer, “Village chief, you should know, I’ve already been very generous with this number.” “No way,” the dark-skinned farmer smoking declined, shaking his head. “Too expensive, we can’t afford that price.” “Village chief, it’s not fun if you talk like that,” the trafficker chuckled. “You know, even selling vegetables depends on the quality, right? Look at that girl inside, skin so white and even blushing, a city dweller, highly educated, good-looking, and charming. I’m asking for a hundred thousand, and you still think it’s too much?” “I got her from someone else, and it cost me quite a bit of money. If it weren’t for the girl’s looks, I wouldn’t have taken her on. Do you think I made a lot? Village chief, this time, not a penny less. I’ll just take the person away and find another place,” the trafficker firmly said, clearly seeing that the girl inside was worth the price. “Dad, no, I want this one,” the skinny bucktooth protested urgently. It must be a joke; this girl was much prettier than Cui Hua in the village. Just the whiteness of her skin alone was worlds apart. He was set on this girl. Moreover, there was something irresistibly attractive about this girl, though he wasn’t sure what it was. He wanted this girl, and if his dad didn’t buy her for him, he would die, he wouldn’t live anymore! Having made up his mind, the village chief frowned, “A hundred thousand, can you go a bit lower, make it work?” “No deal, you get what you pay for. I won’t sell for a penny less this time,” the trafficker insisted. “Dad, I’ve earned seventy thousand from work, can we borrow thirty thousand from my big brother to make it work?” Bucktooth spoke up. After thinking for a moment, the village chief nodded, “Alright, give seventy thousand first, and owe the remaining thirty thousand. Next time he comes, I’ll borrow the rest from my oldest son.” “Hey, village chief, that won’t do. It’s all about cash for delivery. We agreed on a hundred thousand, so it has to be a hundred thousand. How can I do business otherwise?” the trafficker shook his head, joking, you ever seen this line of work owe money? What if I get caught before enjoying it, then what use is the owed money? Plus, with these farmers, once you can’t pay upfront, their skills in denying debts later are top-notch. “But we can’t produce that now,” the village chief furrowed his brow. “Can’t produce? If you can’t produce, I’ll take the person away,” the trafficker stated bluntly, then made ready to enter the house and take the person. “Hey, you, don’t, I like her,” Bucktooth said anxiously, then to the village chief he said, “Dad, I want this one, let’s borrow some money from others in the village and pay them back in a few days.” “No way, who to ask?” the village chief also showed a helpless face, “You can’t afford it if you don’t drop the price.” Bucktooth was almost in tears, “Dad, I just like this one, I don’t want anyone else.” The trafficker said, “That’s not my problem, I need to see the money to hand over the person, I brought the person for you, you are satisfied, but there’s no money, this isn’t business.” “Dad, don’t you have a Qing Dynasty Jade Pendant? Take that out,” Bucktooth suddenly spoke up. The village chief was taken aback, “That’s passed down from ancestors, how can that be?” “Dad, it’s going to be passed on to me anyway, using it a bit early doesn’t matter, the main thing is we can’t let our family line die out,” Bucktooth asserted. With that, the village chief agreed, “Then I’ll go get the Jade Pendant.” When the trafficker heard about the Qing Dynasty Jade Pendant, his eyes lit up. If it really was from the Qing era, he might make several tens of thousands more. “Seventy thousand plus this Jade Pendant, we can close this deal,” said the trafficker. “But first, we need to verify it, confirm the Jade Pendant really is from the Qing era before closing the deal.” The trafficker said. Bucktooth nodded, “Agreed.” While the two were talking, at the entrance of the village, a motorcycle noisily drove in—it was Li Chen. “Is the village chief around?” Li Chen shouted loudly. The village chief, who was chatting nearby, heard someone calling him and hurried over. “I’m right here.” Li Chen stepped on the ground, stopping the motorcycle.
