　　Seeing a group of soldiers riding towards them, raising a lot of dust, the head of the village suddenly panicked and instinctively asked Li Feng for help. In his mind, Li Feng should be the most worldly person in the village and must have been a military officer before returning, so he grabbed Li Feng’s arm.

　　”Uncle, it’s okay, I sent a message to Yu Mu, he is the one leading them.” Li Feng could understand the village head’s nervousness, if he had not been out of the village and had those experiences, he would also have been panicked when he first saw such a situation. What Farmers feared most was dealing with the government.

　　”Really? Haha, is it Yu Mu that kid? No, it’s Master Yu Mu?” The head of the village seemed dumbfounded, he echoed Feng Xiaozi’s words halfway before he realized something was wrong.

 Feng Xiaozi could call the other party a kid, but he couldn’t. The other party was a military officer of a fairly high rank and was not someone common people like them could afford to provoke.

　　Then his eyes lit up again, Feng Xiaozi had a close relationship with Master Yu Mu, and he seemed to respect Feng Xiaozi very much. With him here, Master Yu would take good care of Pingshan Village. 

    He wiped his sweat in his head, glad that he had always stood on Feng Xiaozi’s side and didn’t oppose him. According to the attitude of some villagers, it would be a good thing for Feng Xiaozi to not bear grudges against the village

   The village head immediately felt that he had a good vision.

　The people who came along also heard the conversation between Li Feng and the village head. Besides, after just a while, without Li Feng saying anything, the group of fast horses came into their sight, and they could see the people on the horses.

   Wasn’t the leader of this group the big man Yu Mu who came back with Boy Feng? But now he looked majestic, and his official uniform made him look very imposing. When the horses stopped before them, some people’s knees began to go weak, and they couldn’t help but want to kneel.

　　The village head was thinking the same thing, he had to kneel when he saw an official at the government office. But his knees could not bend, and it turned out that Li Feng had grabbed his arm, he turned around and saw that the young Feng Xiaozi had a rather unpleasant look on his face. He said to the man who had dismounted and was running towards him, “Master Yu is so impressive, did you come here just to scare people?”

　　Yu Mu was about to hug his elder brother happily, but he saw his elder brother looking angry. He then looked at the faces of the villagers around him and immediately realized something was wrong.

    He laughed and said, “Fellow villagers, don’t you remember me, Yu Dage? Don’t be nervous, I heard about your good deeds and came here to congratulate you.”

“I will be the same as before, otherwise my elder brother will not forgive me. Uncle Li Zheng, I have come to disturb our village again, you won’t chase me out, will you? Boys, come over and meet your elder brother and fellow villagers.”

　　The people behind dismounted in unison, clasped their fists towards this side, and shouted: “Hello, big brother, hello, fellow villagers!” They put on quite a serious front but made eyes at Yu Mu from behind. What’s going on? The boss seemed unhappy, would Yu Mu turn blessings into misfortune again?

　　”No, no, gentlemen, Master Yu, it’s an honor for our Pingshan Village that you can come to our village.” The village head had never seen such a scene before, and hurriedly said he didn’t dare, “A Feng, go greet Lord Yu and the others, don’t mistreat them”

   Although Yu Mu’s tone of speaking is still the same as the last time he came, his official uniform still inspires awe, and he no longer speaks as casually as before.

　　Li Feng also realized that the village head did not force him to be the same as before, and even changed how he addressed him. Such a change might not be bad at least in the future, when he and Ming’er lived here, the villagers would respect them. If they continued to behave like before, anyone with a little bit of common sense would not dare to offend them again.

　　”Okay, uncle, if this kid dares to bully others, I will skin him alive.” Li Feng glanced at Yu Mu threateningly. Yu Mu’s scalp tightened and he quickly gave the boss a flattering smile.

　　The village head twitched his face, It looked like Feng Xiaozi still had a lot of authority over them. But it was time for Pingshan Village to thrive Seeing more and more people gathered around, he turned around and said, “You all are giving face to our Pingshan Village by coming to our village, but we can’t disturb you, so you should just do what you need to do.”

　　”Yes, village head.” How could the villagers disobey? If they offended these men, they would lose their heads. Now they felt that Master Yu was polite last time by just blowing a big hole in the wall of Li Conggen’s house. Otherwise, he would have directly thrown him to the yamen and they would have had no place to cry.

　　After watching the crowd disperse, Yu Mu mustered up the courage to approach Li Feng and said, “Brother, Boss, as soon as I received the news, I brought my brothers to come and help you, By the way, where is Brother Ming? Why didn’t I see him come out? No, it should be the brothers who want to greet Brother Ming, right brothers?”

　　”Yes, yes, big brother, we rushed here non-stop just to meet our future brother-in-law. You won’t hide him from us, right?” After the villagers dispersed, these well-mannered people lost their composure and shamelessly made requests. They had suppressed their curiosity all the way, who told Yu Mu, that bastard to refuse to tell anyone?

　　”Humph, don’t you know that Ming’ger hasn’t finished mourning yet? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for him to make such a big scene?” Li Feng said unhappily. Yu Mu laughed and pretended to be stupid, while the others looked at their eldest brother in admiration.

    He was indeed their boss, the mourning period for the young ger hadn’t even ended yet, but their boss couldn’t wait to marry him. They were even more excited about the future of the young ger.

　　Looking at the expression on their faces, one could tell that they had guessed wrong, It was also Yu Mu’s fault, he never told them that the boss had his eyes on a ger who was in mourning for his late husband, otherwise, these men would be shocked.

   But they would be even more surprised when they see him later, Yu Mu was secretly happy and couldn’t wait to see this scene.

　　”Then let’s go, but let me make it clear first, if you disturb Ming’er, humph, none of you will leave Pingshan Village safely. Uncle, let’s go back.” After Li Feng made the threat, he turned to the village head and said.

　　”Okay, Master Yu, everyone please come in.” Regardless of whether he is the village head or Feng Xiaozi’s elder, the village head feels he should accompany him and be honored.

    In the past, when he went to the yamen to do business, he only met yamen runners and rarely saw officials of rank. But now, Master Yu’s rank is probably higher than that of the county magistrate. If the county magistrate could talk and laugh with him so casually one day, he would probably wake up with laughter even in his sleep.

　　”Let’s go, let’s go, tie up the horses quickly and follow the boss in.” Yu Mu urged.

　　There were ten horses in total, and there was no room for them in the yard, so they were all tied under a tree outside, the news that officials had come must have spread in the village. At this time, even the children would be warned by their elders not to cause trouble, or their elders wouldn’t allow them to go out, so there was no need to worry about anyone scaring the horses if they were left outside.

　　On the other side, Tang Chunming in the kitchen was also told that an official had come outside, and he was an acquaintance, big man Yu Mu. Tang Chunming walked out and thought to himself.

    Of course, Li Feng had told him that Yu Mu was coming, but he didn’t expect that there would be such a big commotion, and he directly showed his official identity, seeing the villagers looking scared, he didn’t know if this was Li Feng’s intention.

　Shen Fulang supported Tang Chunming out, he was the only one who came out to witness such a scene. Now, people who heard the news were even more envious of Tang Chunming, this was completely different from spending hundreds of taels of silver to buy a barren mountain.

   Tang Chunming was really lucky,, maybe Li Feng was also an official. A widowed ger turned over a great fortune and was about to become the husband of an official, what great luck that was.

　　As soon as he reached the courtyard’s gate, he saw a group of tall and strong men in official uniforms surrounding Li Feng. It was obvious that Li Feng was the center of the crowd, although the big man Yu in official uniform looked more majestic than before, his face full of flattering smiles was inconsistent with his aura, which made Tang Chunming laugh.

　　When Tang Chunming came out, Li Feng’s expression softened, Yu Mu followed his gaze and thought, “I haven’t seen Brother Ming for a few months, he looks more energetic and handsome.”

    But he knew he couldn’t say that, the boss was sometimes very narrow-minded. He stepped forward and shouted, “Ming’ger, no, it’s Brother Ming, I’m back, I was optimistic about Big Brother and Brother Ming at the beginning. I didn’t expect it to take Big Brother so long to win Brother Ming over. I missed Brother Ming’s cooking the most in the barracks.”

　　The other soldiers with expectant eyes were full of fantasies about their boss’s ger, but Yu Mu’s shout attracted their attention. After seeing the man’s appearance, they all dropped their jaws in shock, and their eyes were glued to the ger’s bulging belly.

　　The eldest brother is so powerful that he got the young ger pregnant before marriage, is this a done deal to force the young ger to marry him?

　　Once again, they looked at their boss with admiration, as his actions were always superior to others.

　　Tang Chunming did not look at the strange looks of those people, but looked at Yu Mu and said with a smile: “Yu Mu, you are so majestic, aren’t you afraid of scaring my guests? Do you still want to eat the food I cook?”

　　”Brother Ming” Yu Mu screamed, “I won’t dare to do it again next time, this time, I rushed out without having time to change clothes as soon as I received the news. I was afraid that I would miss the engagement, Brother, please forgive us this time because we have worked so hard, please give me and my brothers some treats.”

　　”Okay, stop playing tricks and come in, the farmyard is simple. If you aren’t satisfied, go ask your boss.” After saying that, he turned and went into the yard. Not to mention that Shen Fulang was stunned, even Yu Mu wanted to give a thumbs up when he saw Ming’ger’s reaction.

   How could the ger that the boss liked be ordinary? He was not afraid of their official uniforms at all.

　　As soon as Tang Chunming left, three more children appeared. The youngest one in front shouted to Li Feng, “Uncle Feng, they said Uncle Yu is here. Where is Uncle Yu?”

   Apart from Li Feng, the three children have the deepest feelings for Yu Mu in Pingshan Village. Even A-Lin still remembers the big uncle who played with him, and Da Mao and Er Mao have an even deeper impression of him.

　　”A-Lin, Uncle Yu is here, come and let Uncle hug you, A-Lin, did you miss your uncle?” 

  Yu Mu picked him up, and A-Lin was so scared that he screamed and hugged his neck, then stared at his face. As he looked, he remembered, smiled widely, and shouted, “Uncle Yu, I missed you.”

　　”How about you two! Why don’t you call for help?”

　　Yu Mu was teasing the three children, while Li Feng looked at the people around him with disdain: “Put away your stupid looks, it’s embarrassing.” He took A-Lin from Yu Mu’s arms to interrupt his close contact with the three children, and ordered him: “Talk to them clearly before coming in, if you show your stupid look again, send them back to the barracks. Uncle, let’s go in.”

　　”Uh, okay, okay.” The village head didn’t know what to say, so he decided to follow Li Feng.

　　The people outside were still confused and didn’t understand the situation, Yu Mu didn’t hide it from them and told them why Ming’ger was in mourning and how he conquered his and the boss’s stomachs with his cooking skills.

   It would have been better if he hadn’t explained it clearly, once he explained it, the expressions of these people became even more weird. The boss got the ger pregnant, which was acceptable to these rough military men, but they never expected that the boss would go even further than they thought.

   He directly fell in love with a ger who was pregnant with another man’s child, and the little child before was also the ger’s child, the boss became a step-father!

　　Seeing their expressions still not calm, Yu Mu scolded them one by one: “Don’t take what the boss just said lightly, this is the boss’s choice, and he is no worse than other gers, if you… hmph, wait for the boss to peel off your skin.”

　　”It’s all your fault, little brat, you knew it long ago but you refused to tell us. You just wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves, right? If you had told us earlier would we look so stupid and make the boss dislike us? maybe his ger also dislikes us too.” A soldier who had come to his senses cried out sadly.

　　”That’s right, Yu Mu, this bastard deserves a beating, Brothers, come on, beat him first and then apologize to Big Brother.”

　　”good!”

　　”ah!”

　　Yu Mu didn’t even have time to escape before he was surrounded by the others, they didn’t beat him too hard. Each person gave at least two blows, and they didn’t hit him in the face to avoid spoiling the boss’s happy event. They just picked the soft flesh on the body.

　　After the beating, they straightened their clothes as if nothing had happened and walked into the yard with their heads held high, looking very serious.

  No one was around watching, and except for Yu Mu’s screams, no one knew what had happened outside, and that there had been an exchange of fists and flesh.

　　Yu Mu rubbed the painful part of his body and grimaced, “These ruthless guys, I will test them when I get back and train them to death!”

　　Not to mention their curiosity about their future brother-in-law, even Wang Ying and Tang Chunrong came to Tang Chunming in surprise after hearing the noise, asking about Li Feng’s identity. 

   Tang Chunrong was the first to express his worry, he didn’t think it was a good thing for his brother to marry someone with status. If the status gap was too big, could Li Feng be good to his brother? He wouldn’t even know if his brother was bullied.

　　Wang Ying’s feelings were more complicated, having status was a good thing, and maybe he could help his son, but it was also a bad thing sometimes. If he became an official, why would he give up his good job and return to the countryside to farm? To the countryfolks, officials were too far away from them, so it was better for them to be clean.

　　”It’s okay, don’t worry, he told me that he had made some achievements and got an official position in the north. But later his opinions differed with his superiors, and he was injured, so he resigned and came back to recuperate.”

    “As for the others, they should be the same as Yu Mu who came back with him, they are brothers who have been through life and death with him in the north.” 

   “Although those people are still in the army, they still remember the brotherhood between Li Feng and them, so they came to congratulate him. Mother, A Rong, there is no need to treat them specially, otherwise they will feel restrained.”

   “This time, they probably want to reunite with Li Feng.” Tang Chunming said. Of course, he also saw that Yu Mu had not told his brothers about his situation, so those people looked very strange when they first saw him. Humph, let Li Feng deal with them.

　　”Okay, tell us if anything happens, so that we can be mentally prepared.” Wang Ying said in a panic, and not for the sake of face. After all, the stepson was also married to the Tang family, but he wasn’t lucky, but he also got implicated if something went wrong.

　　”Don’t worry, nothing will happen, he promised me this, and we can also take advantage of their authority, at least there will be less trouble in the future.” Tang Chunming said with a smile. He thought Yu Mu’s making such a big show may have this in mind. Having been here, how could he not know his and Li Feng’s position in the village? Now he wants to tell everyone that Li Feng has the support of the officials behind him. Those who want to take advantage of him or bully him should think twice first.

　　”Is Brother Li Feng’s injury okay?” Tang Chunrong’s worry was different from his mother’s, and he didn’t think so far ahead.

　　”It’s okay, before coming back, he had recovered from his injuries at the hands of an old military doctor who had done him a favor.” Li Feng had told him that his injuries were absolutely fine, and Tang Chunming believed him on the surface.

    However, he had been using the food and spring water in the space to recuperate for such a long time, he believed that it would be effective over time, and even if there were some hidden injuries left on the battlefield before, they would slowly get better.

　　”That’s good, that’s good.” Wang Ying had just thought about this problem, and he felt relieved. If his brother-in-law was in poor health, wouldn’t  his stepson… Bah! What nonsense was he thinking about? This was not auspicious.

　　Sometimes the more you want to keep a low profile, the more high-profile it becomes, a group of soldiers just arrived and the villagers were shocked. The aftershocks had not yet subsided when a horse-drawn carriage arrived at the village entrance.

   Looking out, it was going to the Tang family again. the villagers were now certain that Li Feng and Tang Chunming’s family would be different from the villagers in the future. Look at the people they met, they were either officials or wealthy people. If Huang Sigou and Zhang Lanhua knew what happened today, they would regret their choice.

　　”Old Qi, are you sure it’s today?” asked a young voice in the carriage.

　　”Master, don’t worry, Xiao Shunzi has made it clear, it is today without a doubt. Master, look, there are horses parked outside Master Tang’s yard.” Shopkeeper Qi drove the carriage and brought his master to the Tang family.

　　Teng Yu learned from Shopkeeper Qi about Tang Chunming’s happy occasion today he happened to be near Ping’an Town, so he decided to come over in person to congratulate him.

    Only when there is give and take can the business last long, this was his second time in this inconspicuous little mountain village. He lifted the curtain and looked outside, sure enough, the horses looked extraordinary, could they be people coming from Dingzhou Prefecture?

　　Teng Yu had a deep impression of the person Tang Chunming’s marriage partner, even though he had only met him once before. However, such aura was rare outside and it was hard to forget. 

  However, the most unexpected thing was that he got together with Tang Chunming, and didn’t even mind that Tang Chunming was in mourning and pregnant. He thought to himself that if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to do this.

　　Therefore, no matter how tempted he was to control this supply of goods, he did not have the same thoughts as Fu Mantang and the Meng family. According to the situation in his family, even if he let Tang Fulang be a mistress, no one would agree.

    Besides, it was not certain if Tang Fulang would agree, after hearing Lao Qi talk about Tang Fulang’s dislike for Fu Mantang, Teng Yu thought that it was fortunate that he did not have such thoughts at the beginning.

　　However, if he was someone from Dingzhou Prefecture, then his coming here was fortunate, not to mention getting in touch with this person, just knowing one more person in officialdom would be invaluable to businessmen like them. Who knows, it might come in handy someday, Tang Chunming could be considered his benefactor.

　　”Manager Qi? Master Teng? You are truly distinguished guests, I didn’t expect you to come, Please come in quickly!” Tang Chunming was sweating. He originally wanted to simply invite a few people over for a meal, but he didn’t expect, Yu Mu to bring so many people over, and then Manager Qi also came to join in the fun.

     It was not easy to turn people away, fortunately, Li Feng had prepared sufficient ingredients for today’s occasion. Tang Chunming had laughed at him before, saying that he was making a big deal, now he would not laugh at him anymore, otherwise, it would be embarrassing if so many people came and couldn’t even get enough food.

　　”Tang Fulang, congratulations, this must be Brother Li Feng, I am Teng Yu from Anping County. I came here today to share in your good luck.” Teng Yu followed the local customs and did not put on any airs as a rich young man, he was also very familiar with the way he addressed him.

　　”Welcome, please come in.” Li Feng had an impression of this man, he had met him once at the entrance of the village. Knowing that Ming’ger was doing business with this man, he would not treat him badly. Moreover, merchants like this had a bottom line compared to the Meng family.

　　The village head also came out to greet the guests, it would not be bad for Pingshan Village to have a good relationship with the Jinji Restaurant and the restaurant’s owner. Moreover, the young owner also brought a cart of gifts, as Li Feng’s elder, the village head thought that he could not be rude.

　　Two more tables were set up for lunch, without much ceremony, and they were set up in the yard, the noise was so lively that even the villagers could hear it. 

   Since there were so many guests, Li Feng invited some village elders from the village to accompany him, several clan elders who had spoken for Li Feng felt very proud and told others that they had also eaten at the same table as the official.

　　At Li Conggen’s house in the village, the atmosphere was just the opposite. Originally, it was acceptable for them that Li Feng did not invite anyone to the party. But now, even the clan elders were invited, but they didn’t even ask about their uncle.

   When they heard that an official was coming, they felt extremely uncomfortable, it was even more unbearable than watching hundreds of taels of silver thrown into the water.

　　Now they dared not accuse Li Feng indiscriminately, so the couple blamed each other, even their son and the younger ger complained that they had not lived a decent life in the past, even after they pushed people away.

    Otherwise, they would have become a family supported by officials now, and who would dare not give them face when they go out in the future? The younger ger even thought that maybe he could marry into a truly wealthy family and enjoy a good life. It was all the fault of his mother and father for not doing things right in the past.

　　”Bah! Now you blame us for being selfish, who lived in his house in the first place? Besides, if we hadn’t sent that ungrateful bastard away, would he be as successful as he is today? Would he be able to meet those officials? Now even the clan elders are blaming us.”

    “They don’t even think that if it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t be as successful as they are today?” Li Conggen not only didn’t think they were wrong, but they thought it was because they sent Li Feng to serve in the military that Li Feng ended up making a fortune and meeting officials. But this nephew turned around and cut ties with them, his relatives. What else could this be but an ungrateful bastard?

　　Of course, they only dared to say this privately, according to other people’s narration, they dared not to offend Li Feng again. Otherwise, given the cruelty of that ungrateful man, he might throw them into prison.

　　The young ger was angry at his parents for their short-sightedness, he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea: “Father, Mother, no matter what, my cousin is also from my second uncle’s family, and this relationship should not be severed.”

   “But both of you can’t have the same attitude as before, you haven’t realized that my cousin is completely different, from now on, you’d better respect him. Who knows, when my cousin is in a good mood, he may not hold a grudge against you, and our family will benefit from it.”

    He forgot that he had screamed in fear when he saw Li Feng for the first time, which affected Li Feng’s reputation outside, he also contributed to Li Feng’s infamy outside.

　　”Respect him? You want us, the elders, to respect an ungrateful person like him?” Li Congen’s wife was angry and shouted in disbelief.

　　”Then mother, you can continue to offend cousin!” The young ger threw his handkerchief back to his room in annoyance, his mother was really unreasonable, he only cared about his anger and didn’t even consider them.

　　”I think what my brother said makes sense. Mother, father, you should think about it carefully.” The son also agreed with his younger brother’s opinion, forgetting that they had been fanning the flames behind the scenes to get their mother to fight with Li Feng.

　　The couple looked at the situation in their family and asked: “Are we really going to do this?”

　　Li Conggen sighed, he didn’t want to do that either, but now it seemed that this was the only way to go. Look at what the villagers said, not only did no one accuse Li Feng of disrespecting his elders, but they praised him everywhere.

　　The dinner was finally over, Tang Chunming was so tired that he went back to his room to rest, outside, the smell of alcohol was overwhelming, and the soldiers drank from big bowls without restraint.

    Tang Chunming yearned for wine, but he had no interest in it after seeing it once, it can only be said that the winemaking technology in this world is still quite backward. Sitting on the Kang, Tang Chunming suddenly realized that there was a brilliant way to make money.

    He didn’t dare to think about it before after all, this technology was too advanced and would bring trouble to himself. But now he has Li Feng and Yu Mu and a group of people to support him, if he was still hesitant, then he wouldn’t be a man.

　Well, he is a ger now, a pregnant ger, so he should sleep first.

　Li Feng took the drunkards to his home one by one to prevent Ming’er and the children from being affected by the smoke.

     He sent Wang Ying back, but Tang Chunrong asked him to stay, saying he wanted him to accompany his brother. Of course, he also tried to keep Wang Ying for Ming’er’s sake, but Wang Ying was worried about the livestock at home and could not tolerate if they missed a meal.

　　At night, Li Feng did not let Ming’er cook dinner but asked Zhang Xiu and others to help cook some. Together with the leftovers from lunch, it was enough to feed the livestock, this made Yu Mu, who did not get to taste Brother Ming’s cooking, protest in anger.

　　The prepared food was delivered directly to Li Feng’s house, but Li Feng came over to eat with Tang Chunming, completely disregarding the brotherhood and showing his brothers what it means to forget one’s loyalty for the sake of a beautiful ger.

　　”When will Yu Mu and the others leave? Is it okay to leave like this?” Tang Chunming asked Li Feng while drinking porridge and eating side dishes. He didn’t have much to say about Li Feng’s behavior. When getting along, couples don’t need to worry about too many details. For people like them, it was more casual as they pleased, sometimes being too polite was not a good thing.

　　”Not leaving very soon, don’t worry about things over there. They came out with a pretext and won’t be stupid enough to let anyone catch them. I think they have energy but nowhere to use it, so it’s a good opportunity to ask them to help clean up the back mountain.” Li Feng picked up the dishes that Ming’er and A-Lin liked and put them into their bowls.

　　”Puff—cough, cough…” Tang Chunrong couldn’t stand it anymore and started choking, his face turning red. Tang Chunming handed him a glass of water to help him smooth him.

　　”Uncle, let me help you pat it too.” A-Lin crawled over to join in the fun.

　　”I’m fine, A-Lin, eat by yourself.” Tang Chunrong felt that he had lost his composure and was very embarrassed, but it was all Brother Li Feng’s fault. He ordered people around as if it was a matter of course, he now knew that those people all had ranks, and the highest one was, of course, General Yu Mu.

　　”It’s up to you, but the villagers should also be recruited, let the village head help to decide which people are needed, the mountain may require people to work long-term.” 

    Tang Chunming had no objection to Li Feng’s behavior of ordering people around, but even if Li Feng was there, he couldn’t take care of the whole mountain by himself. Now that he had taken it over, of course, he couldn’t leave it there and had to continue to develop and utilize it.

　　”Okay, got it.” Li Feng glanced at Tang Chunrong indifferently and felt that this boy was too kind-hearted.

    Of course, that was not to say he was a bad person, but if he wanted to take the imperial examinations and make a name for himself, such a character would not be suitable for the officialdom. He decided that he would train his brother-in-law well.

　　The two of them were on the same page on this issue, Tang Chunming had been trying to guide his younger brother subtly, but he felt that he was still young, so he didn’t use much force.

　　On the second day, Tang Chunrong wanted to stay, it must be interesting to follow those soldiers into the mountains, according to them, they should first clear the wild animals in the mountains, especially the big ones, otherwise, the big ones like wild boars would dig up whatever they planted on the mountain and it would be a waste of effort.

   Tang Chunrong felt itchy, but he had no choice but to, he only asked for a day off and let Brother Li Feng send him off, he thought he would come back next time on vacation, so he could have a day to play in the mountains. 

    You know, his mother would never dare to let him go into the mountains, the mountains are very dangerous. Didn’t his ‘brother-in-law’^[1]TL’s note; Zhao Dahu lose his life in the mountains before? But now Brother Li Feng has kung fu skills.

　　Li Feng talked to the village head, who immediately called together some young and strong men to ask if they were willing to go into the mountains. Of course, no one was unwilling to do so, how could they not cherish such an opportunity to hunt with the soldiers? Moreover, the game they hunted would be shared among them. If they went into the mountains alone, they would only dare to wander around outside.

　　Li Feng also brought the men from Dashan and Wang Mo’s families and asked Zhang Xiu and Wang Mo to go home to accompany Ming’er. A team of more than 20 to 30 people grandly entered the mountain. Those timid wild animals would have perhaps fled long ago upon hearing the news.

　　”Have you heard? The village head said that if we hunted a big boar today, the whole village would gather for a good feast, I’m looking forward to Dashan and his men bringing back a big wild boar.” Zhang Xiu said expectantly, it was rare for the village to have such a lively occasion.

   Even in the past, when everyone was called into the mountains, it was when the big boars would come down and damage the crops. At that time, everyone was not at ease, and there were no strong soldiers to lead the way. Therefore, Zhang Xiu and his men were not worried about the safety of the people going into the mountains.

　　”Oh, I want to go too.” Tang Chunming sighed and looked at his stomach regretfully, thinking about how much he had delayed.

　　”You…” Zhang Xiu and Wang Mo didn’t know what to say, he was really ‘ungerly’, fortunately, he was pregnant and couldn’t run around.

　　”Haha, I’m just kidding.” Tang Chunming tried to cover it up, then simply picked up a pen and paper to consider how to plan the reasonable distribution of the mountain.

　　Zhang Xiu and Wang Mo looked at each other and smiled, and said that the gers in the village were indeed not as good as Ming’er.

　　At noon, the group hadn’t returned, so Tang Chunming kept the two friends and Da Mao and Er Mao for lunch. In the afternoon, the main group came back. From the cheers of the village, it was known that they had gained a lot on this trip. Tang Chunming quickly put away the paper and pen and said with great interest: “Let’s go and see what they brought back. A-Lin, do you want to go?”

　　”Yes, I want to go, Uncle Feng is very powerful.” A-Lin clenched his fist and was the first to agree with his mother.

　　”We want to go too!” Da Mao and Er Mao were unwilling to be left behind.

　　”You guys—” Zhang Xiu laughed, “Ming’er, you are not afraid of getting scared.”

　　”Not afraid,” Tang Chunming waved his hand generously, “It’s a rare opportunity to see the excitement, don’t think of me as fragile, let’s go.” Tang Chunming strode out impatiently, and Zhang Xiu and Wang Mo had no choice but to follow him quickly.

　　No one in the village expected that there would be such a lively day as today, looking at what those people who went up the mountain carried down: two big fat wild boars, a litter of cubs, and other wild animals of all sizes.

   If they had gone into the mountains alone, how could they have gotten such a big harvest? Today, almost every family has a share, both adults and children are very happy as they can finally eat a good meal to their heart’s content.

　　When Tang Chunming and his party arrived, the group was almost at the village square. The village head was hitting a gong and shouting, the men from the village who had entered the mountain had happy faces and were happily showing off their capture to those who had not gone.

　　”My goodness, you don’t know, Brother Yu just threw a stone and knocked this big guy unconscious, we who were behind were dumbfounded that he could hunt like this. Later we found out that Brother Yu was born with supernatural powers. It didn’t take him much effort to kill such a big animal.”

  The person who was speaking was jumping with excitement, before entering the mountain, he called him Master Yu, but after coming down, he just called him Brother Yu.

　　”Brother Li Feng is not bad either, as the book says, someone can really shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred meters away. Brother Li Feng is no worse than that, look, this musk deer was shot dead by Brother Li Feng with just one arrow. Hey, today I’ve broadened my horizons.” The person who spoke had shining eyes.

　　The villagers surrounded the people who entered the mountain, but Li Feng still saw Tang Chunming coming over here as soon as he looked up. He quickly pushed through the crowd and walked over, stopping ten steps away: “Ming’er, why are you here? There is blood here, even on me, I’d better take some wild animals back home later.”

　　”It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m here to see the hero, you go and do your work. I’ll just take a look, It’s okay.” Tang Chunming finally came out for a walk and didn’t want to return so soon. He used to stay at home, mostly because he felt ashamed to see people.

   He was a grown man with a big belly, even if it was normal in the eyes of others, he felt awkward and weird, so he simply didn’t go out. Now that he has adapted a lot with time, he took this opportunity to go out.

　　”Don’t worry, Li Feng, Brother Mo and I will keep an eye on him. If anything goes wrong, we will send him back immediately.” Zhang Xiu said hurriedly.

　　Li Feng had no choice but to agree, but he decided to keep a closer eye on Ming’er. Finally, he did not dare to get close to others, as he was afraid that the blood would cause them discomfort.
