Chapter 64: Failed Attempt to Steal Chickens Results in Lost Rice
Bai Lu casually glanced around, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sautéed snails! Sautéed snails! Sautéed snails!"
Delicious things must be said three times!
"Sautéed snails?" Xiao Wei expressed a puzzled frown at the name of this small creature, finding it not very appealing.
"It's called river snail, also known as snail or snail worm. For the pointed-tailed ones in the river, they can also ...

Chapter 63: Named Protection
Unexpectedly...
The situation on Xiao Zhihai's side was similar to Li ShuiXian's. Just as they had negotiated the purchase with the villagers, Xiao Cheng turned the tables with a single sentence.
After hearing this, everyone raised their glasses to Xiao Cheng, completely ignoring Xiao Zhihai. Even the good cigarettes he had distributed earlier were given to Xiao Cheng, who didn't even pay attention, just putting the cigarettes behind his ear. ...

"Is being good at fighting considered a skill? Don't be deceived by what the little girls say. Xiao Cheng's methods in debt collection are ruthless and terrifying. He shows no mercy, gives no time, and beats people to a pulp without hesitation. Anyone who sees that would be scared!"
Li Shuixian, having spoken about candied chestnuts for a while without Bai Lu arguing, grew bolder, speaking without reservation.
However, when she finished...

Chapter 61: What Is He Up To
Grandpa and Grandma have gone to inspect other sand piles. Xiao Wei, being short, couldn't see the ongoing situation, assuming that Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu would follow Grandpa and Grandma. Silently, he hugged his big straw hat and followed them to inspect the sand piles.
Bai Lu immediately loosened her lips, turned her head, and began chewing chestnuts, as if nothing had happened.

In his youth, Xiao Guofu often picked chestnuts with the son of the old couple, bringing back fruits each time. When the son passed away, Xiao Guofu frequently visited to assist the elderly, and yesterday, he shared the sugared chestnuts from Li Shuixian's couple to let the old lady taste them.
Li Shuixian mentioned that besides them, others would come to buy chestnuts. She asked him to inform the villagers and emphasized selling chestnuts only to th...

Everyone in the room turned their attention to the source of the excited announcement. The usually solemn and strict village head of the Xiao family, Xiao Guofu, was approaching with brisk steps, his excitement evident.
It was an unusual sight to see a three-year-old child walking with such excitement. However, in the current situation, not only was it happening, but Xiao Guofu, lost in his excitement, didn't notice the people inside the house.

Xiao Cheng pressed his thin lips, holding Bai Lu's foot firmly to prevent her from retracting. Bai Lu, enduring the pain, involuntarily clenched the edge of the table. The pressure on her foot gradually lightened, and she let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the pressure increased again, and she bit her lip, enduring the pain.

Opening the wooden box.
Inside, a deep brown long-barreled shotgun, three over half-meter-long machetes, a square wooden box for iron sand gunpowder, all lay quietly.
In the past life, it was because of this box of things that Xiao Cheng and Luo Shiliu and others suffered ...
