Chapter 90 - 90 090 The Wild Boar and the Village Chief

90: Chapter 090: The Wild Boar and the Village Chief 90: Chapter 090: The Wild Boar and the Village Chief Everyone saw Luo Yang walking towards Lang Yifeng without any precaution and couldn’t understand why. Knowing full well that Lang Yifeng had practiced martial arts since childhood, everyone thought Luo Yang would be knocked down with a single punch. As soon as they saw Lang Yifeng bending his body and charging, even Zhu Li felt a tightening in her heart, convinced that Luo Yang would be thrown to the ground. An Yuying even cried out in a tender voice, “Niu Zai, be careful!” The stake was one hundred thousand yuan, and she didn’t want to see Luo Yang lose the sparring. Lang Yifeng had chosen to dive and tackle, already sure of his victory, and was fantasizing about the joyous scene of collecting money. Ever since obtaining the Shennong Scripture, Luo Yang had True Qi in his body, and with True Qi, not only had his strength increased, but his physical condition and reaction speed were also better than before. Seeing that Lang Yifeng had fallen for the trap, Luo Yang already had a countermeasure in mind. With a slight smile, as Lang Yifeng lunged close, Luo Yang suddenly stood firm and leaped. Consequently, Lang Yifeng found himself embracing thin air, and was taken aback, without time to look up. Luo Yang was already in mid-air, his feet heavily kicking towards the back of Lang Yifeng’s head. The neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Lang Yifeng had planned for a successful hit with all his might, but after missing, his body was already off-balance. If not for an external force, he wouldn’t have fallen. With a push from Luo Yang’s feet, Lang Yifeng’s head plunged fiercely towards the ground. He had no choice but to fall with a thud, face down on the ground. In contrast, Luo Yang, after completing his kicking movement, seemed to stroll in midair, as if descending an invisible staircase to the ground, quite elegantly. Clap, clap, clap… Zhu Li and Chen Jie applauded for Luo Yang, conquered by his impressive skills. Seeing Luo Yang win, the tension on An Yuying’s pretty face gradually faded, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. The outcome had been decided, and Lang Yifeng sprang up, his face red with anger as he glared and bellowed, “Come on! I want a fight to the death with you!” At this moment, another group of people flooded in through the door, led by the village head, Xie Runfa. Previously, An Yuying had phoned Tang Guihua, saying that Luo Yang might fight with Lang Yifeng. Tang Guihua then called the village head’s daughter, Xie Yiyao, who was just getting ready to go wild boar hunting with the villagers that evening. Fortunately, they hadn’t left yet, and upon hearing the news, Xie Runfa immediately led people to the scene. Lang Yifeng was already close to madness, not just because he lost one hundred thousand yuan, but more importantly because he had been defeated by Luo Yang for the second time. Though not a crushing defeat, it was a considerable loss of face. After all, not to mention in the Hongyun Brigade, even in the surrounding villages, Lang Yifeng was a figure who could scare people senseless. He had been prestigious for over a decade and had never felt so frustrated as in these last few days, being defeated by a youth time and again. While Xie Runfa was holding back Lang Yifeng and trying to calm him down, Luo Yang picked up the nine thousand five hundred yuan from the table, gave five hundred yuan to Xiao Daniu, and left the rest for An Yuying to hold. Apart from this sum, Lang Yifeng still owed Luo Yang over ninety thousand yuan. Zhu Li had initially wanted to have someone beat up Lang Yifeng, but seeing Luo Yang shake his head, she guessed why he did so. She then approached Lang Yifeng and said coldly, “Pay back what you owe to my younger brother within three days!” After speaking, she invited Luo Yang out to have fun, but as it was past midnight, Luo Yang politely declined. Zhu Li then left with her group, their engines roaring as they moved from near to far, soon seeming to reach the horizon. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The rumbling sound grew quieter and quieter, until it was no longer heard. Luo Yang didn’t confront Lang Yifeng on the spot only because the village head, Xie Runfa, was there. Luo Yang still needed to rent land, and if he didn’t give face to the village head, then he could forget about renting the land. He considered it giving face to Xie Runfa. Just when Luo Yang was about to leave with An Yuying, Xie Runfa called out to him and asked if he wanted to join the hunt for wild boar. Luo Yang thought that Xie Runfa probably wanted to talk about Lang Yifeng, so he agreed. Xiao Daniu also wanted to go, so Luo Yang asked An Yuying to go home and sleep. “Wild boars are really scary, Niu Zai, be careful,” An Yuying instructed. “After hunting the wild boar, I’ll bring you some wild boar meat tomorrow,” Luo Yang said with a smile. The two stood face to face, An Yuying dressed in light-colored pajamas, her chest filling out her top generously. Luo Yang took a glance at her delicate body, breathed in her light body fragrance, and felt his body temperature shoot up. Seeing her lips curved in a smile, he almost wanted to kiss her. With a gentle voice full of concern, An Yuying reluctantly left for home. Luo Yang and Xiao Daniu then joined Xie Runfa and others to hunt the wild boars. Recently, some wild boars had come down from the mountains at night to destroy the crops, causing considerable damage to the fields at the base of the mountain. Wild boars are fierce fighters with thick skins and sharp tusks, not something ordinary villagers dare to provoke. The goal for this evening’s group hunt was merely to drive them away, and no one was confident about actually being able to kill one or two wild boars. On the way, Xie Runfa indeed advised Luo Yang not to keep fighting with Lang Yifeng, and Luo Yang verbally agreed. In fact, Luo Yang had an unspoken condition, which was that everything was fine as long as Lang Yifeng didn’t provoke him. But if Lang Yifeng did stir up trouble, Luo Yang would have no choice but to fight back. The night sky was cloudless yet stiflingly hot because a typhoon was passing through, making the past few days unusually warm with no relief even when the wind blew. There were more than a dozen people heading out to hunt wild boars, equipped with nets, steel forks, iron rods, and so on. Luo Yang was given a steel fork to carry, while Xiao Daniu received an iron rod. After walking for more than ten minutes, they had reached the fields at the foot of the mountain. Everyone hid in a small ravine, waiting for the wild boars to appear. After about twenty minutes, they heard oinking sounds – signs that wild boars were descending the mountain. Based on the sounds, there seemed to be three or four wild boars. In the moonlight, they saw several dark shapes enter the sweet potato field and start foraging for sweet potatoes in the mud. Xie Runfa gestured for a group of men to flank the wild boars from behind to cut off their escape route. He would lead another team to launch an attack from the front. With a shout, they leaped out from the gully and charged at the wild boars. Wild boars are very capable runners with well-developed muscles and thick skin that even a hunting rifle cannot penetrate. A mature wild boar could easily maul an adult man to death. The startled wild boars oinked frantically and bolted in all directions. The villagers all knew how fierce wild boars could be and simply shouted encouragement while nobody actually stepped forward to intercept them. One wild boar tried to escape up the mountain, knocking over a villager who was in its way. The rest of the villagers scattered in panic, each looking out only for themselves. At that moment, a wild boar charged straight towards Xie Runfa. From the sound of its furious oinks, it was clear it was out to give the village chief a vicious bite. This left Xie Runfa paralyzed with fear. “Save me! Save me! I’m done for! I’m done for!” Normally, many villagers would flock around Xie Runfa, heeding his commands. But in this life-threatening situation, self-preservation took over, and no matter how loudly Xie Runfa screamed, he couldn’t find anyone to help. The wild boar relentlessly pursued Xie Runfa, determined to bite him at least once. Oink, oink, oink… Under the night sky, one could only see Xie Runfa running for his life toward the small gully, but he was slower than the wild boar. It was evident the boar was going to catch him soon, and one strike or bite would leave him injured for at least half a year, if not dead. “Village chief, run over here to me!” Luo Yang, accompanied by Xiao Daniu, rushed forward to meet him. Xie Runfa ran over, shrieking, and hid behind Luo Yang.
