"How have I treated you all normally?"
After Qian Shidie, who had been beaten by Hu Xiaobei, had a good rest, Wang Dagui came to the courtyard. Soon, Wang Dagui made a few phone calls, gathering the village delinquents who were idlers to this place, and quickly opened his mouth!
These delinquents were cunning, so they understood at this moment that the village chief had something they needed to do!
After exchanging a glance, one of the Balds quickly blurted out, "Village chief, just say it, who are we going to harm?"
Wang Dagui's eyelids twitched at this outright statement. "Harm... What are you talking about! Am I someone who asks you to harm others?"
Hearing this, that Bald felt wronged, "This... you previously directed us..."
"Shut up!"
"Yes!"
After that Bald had shut up, Wang Dagui continued, "The reason I've called you here this time is there's a very important matter! You all know about Hu Xiaobei planting medicinal herbs, right!"
"Yes!"
They all nodded vigorously…
Seeing everyone nodding, Wang Dagui gave a cruel smile and said, "Hu Xiaobei's seeds have just been planted. I think it's time to add some 'nutrients' to them. Later, you go to the town's store to buy some medicine. We're going to take good care of them after all, we're all from the same village!"
"This... What should we buy…"
Before Bald could finish asking, another sneaky-looking dwarf quickly agreed, "Village chief, rest assured! We will definitely do a good job!"
"Then go, the sooner the better!"
"Yes!"
Watching them leave, Wang Dagui snorted coldly, "Hu Xiaobei, I don't know how you managed to get in touch with Eighth Master, but it's useless! I still have many ways to make you cry without tears!"
Wang Dagui knew that Hu Xiaobei had made connections with Eighth Master now, so he dared not confront him directly, but no matter, he could still play dirty from his side!
…
"Er, why did you agree so quickly just now! We still don't know what kind of medicine to buy!"
After leaving Wang Dagui's house, that Bald looked at the dwarf and complained…
Hearing Bald's complaint, Er sighed quietly…
He thought Bald was good in every aspect, but intelligence was a real weakness…
Thinking this, he quickly explained, "Brother Bald, the village chief obviously wants us to get some poison for the seeds Hu Xiaobei just sowed, to 'add nutrients'! Simply put, the village chief doesn't want them to sprout!"
"Really?"
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Er explained again in detail, "Definitely! Think about it, once they can't sprout, those who followed Hu Xiaobei to plant medicinal herbs will directly switch sides, and then everyone will follow the village chief to plant fruit trees! Then the village chief can win more trust, and Hu Xiaobei will be despised by everyone!"
"Killing two birds with one stone! You really are smart! Alright, then let's buy the most poisonous poison!"
"Right!"
As they spoke, they quickly headed towards the town…
…
"Cultivation is truly not simple!"
At home, Hu Xiaobei finished his breathing and muttered to himself!
Previously, after having received the legacy of Shennong, Hu Xiaobei also obtained Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture!
Now, what Hu Xiaobei was cultivating was just that…
But even now, Hu Xiaobei could hardly consider himself a beginner, for the Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture was indeed too difficult!
"Let's take it slow," Xiaobei sighed, knowing that haste makes waste. After a deep breath, he gradually regained his composure.
"It's already night, cultivation truly knows no time."
After this reflection, Xiaobei prepared to continue his breathing exercises, when suddenly, he heard the sound of banging at the door...
"Someone's here?"
Instinctively, he stood up, opened the door, and was immediately stunned...
The reason for his reaction was that upon opening the door, Xiaobei found not a person, but a white wolf standing at the threshold...
Seeing its pure white fur, Xiaobei instantly realized it was the same wolf he had treated on the mountain earlier!
"Are you here to repay the favor?"
Thinking this, Xiaobei watched the wolf…
Soon, he heard its soft whines...
After a moment, Xiaobei understood its intent—it wanted him to follow…
Quickly agreeing, Xiaobei and the wolf swiftly left the village under the cover of night…
After arriving at the riverside behind the village with the wolf, Xiaobei saw it staring ahead. Following its gaze, Xiaobei frowned when he saw a group of people gathered at the riverbank not too far away...
"What are they doing at this late hour?"
Muttering to himself while peering from behind a tree, Xiaobei soon recognized that the group included Wang Dagui and some local thugs, even Qian Shidie who Xiaobei had previously fought was there…
"They're definitely up to no good!"
As he thought this, Xiaobei noticed that each person had a sprayer in front of them, and Dagui was going around adding water and herbs to each one!
As he wondered what kind of herbs Dagui was mixing, Xiaobei overheard Dagui's excited proclamation, "Haha, I am happy as long as I'm up to mischief!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
With this chatter, Dagui, still busy with the herbs, quickly said, "What's all the noise? Hurry up and get those sprayers on your backs, we are going to give Hu Xiaobei a nice 'warm' welcome now!"
"Okay!"
With that, they quickly loaded up the sprayers, each aware they had added enough substance to them to give Xiaobei a tough time…
...
"Indeed, they were harboring ill intentions!"
After they left, Xiaobei went to the riverbank and picked up the discarded packages of herbs, identifying them as poison...
Realizing the poison was meant to destroy his medicinal herb seeds so they would fail to germinate, Xiaobei wanted to intervene, but decided to wait and see…
Xiaobei was confident about the seeds he had enhanced with Nine Wood True Qi and truly didn't believe a bit of poison could completely destroy them…
"Whines…"
While he was deep in thought, Xiaobei heard the white wolf…
Chuckling softly, Xiaobei crouched down, gently patted its fluffy head, and whispered, "I know you want to help me, but there's no need to rush. They're just a few clowns; I can handle them!"
Xiaobei was truly grateful to it because without the wolf's warning, he would have been oblivious to Wang Dagui and the others' underhand tactics…
"Wang Dagui, since you've started this, I will play along and see who gets the last laugh!"
Having said this, Hu Xiaobei and the white wolf quickly followed them…
