Chapter 33

Lu Bao's face still bore a look of pain, but his eyes were filled with a fierce light. He said in a rough voice, "That kid is... too tough. We need to send someone to find Boss Xue... If we don’t cripple that kid’s arms and legs, this matter... this matter won’t be over!"

Feng Ergou, seeing the situation, knew they had encountered a real tough opponent. He called out, "Someone... come quick...!"

The only servant in the house rushed in, trembling with fear, and said, "M... Master!"

Feng Ergou said, "Go to the city, find Boss Xue, and tell him... tell him to bring people over quickly...!" After saying this, his breathing became rapid.

He had been kicked in the chest by Chu Huan, and that kick was extremely vicious. Even now, Feng Ergou had not recovered, and every few words he spoke made his heart ache and his breathing difficult.

The servant hurriedly agreed and turned to leave, but Zhao Bao suddenly said, "Wait!" He turned to Feng Ergou and whispered, "Master, should we try a different approach?"

Feng Ergou was taken aback and then asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"That kid is not simple!" Zhao Bao sat down and said slowly, "Master, you know Lu Bao’s skills. It takes five or six ordinary people to match him, but this kid managed to injure Lu Bao. This shows that his skills are truly remarkable!"

In fact, Lu Bao could only handle two or three people at most. Saying five or six was an exaggeration to boost Lu Bao’s reputation. Lu Bao, though in pain, felt relieved and said, "That’s right, this kid is not ordinary. I am one of the Eight Vajras under Brother Xue, and ordinary people can’t even get close to me. This kid must have practiced supreme martial arts. I suspect he is already one of the top experts in the world, not to be underestimated...!" He had lost two front teeth, and his speech was slurred.

He deliberately exaggerated Chu Huan’s skills to save face for his own failure.

Zhao Bao nodded and said, "Lu Bao is right. That kid is too tough. Boss Xue is busy with many affairs and won’t come for such a small matter... If we send others, we will have the advantage in numbers, but...!" He stopped speaking at this point.

Feng Ergou, anxious, said, "But what? Speak quickly!"

Zhao Bao coughed and then said, "I’m worried that with his skills, that kid might escape. As Zhao Bao said, he might be a top expert. If he really escapes...!" At this point, his face showed a strange expression, and he looked into Feng Ergou’s eyes, giving a strange smile.

This smile made Feng Ergou feel a chill, and he understood the implications.

Today, he had witnessed Chu Huan’s ferocity and audacity. If they called for help and Chu Huan escaped, then with Chu Huan’s character, Feng Ergou and Lu Bao’s future would be very bleak. They would live in constant fear of Chu Huan’s revenge, and with his nature, it wouldn’t just be a matter of broken limbs.

Feng Ergou felt a chill all over his body and said after a moment, "Zhao Bao, do you have a way to truly solve this problem?" At this point, Feng Ergou’s eyes were already filled with a fierce light.

Zhao Bao thought for a moment and then lowered his voice, "I have a plan that can solve this problem once and for all, with no lingering issues!" He chuckled and said, "If this plan succeeds, not only will we eliminate a major threat, but Master will also win the beauty!"

"Speak quickly!" Feng Ergou said excitedly.

Zhao Bao stood up and leaned close to Feng Ergou’s ear, whispering. Feng Ergou frowned and asked, "Can this... can this work? What if the kid doesn’t fall for it?"

"It depends on whether Master can persuade her!" Zhao Bao stroked his goatee and said, "As long as Master follows my advice, I believe there is a seventy percent chance of success!"

Feng Ergou’s eyes darted around and he said, "Alright, let’s do it!"

At this moment, a knock came from outside the yard, and Feng Ergou and the others immediately became tense. They were now extremely afraid of Chu Huan, worried that he might come looking for them.

The two large wolf dogs in the yard were already barking loudly.

Soon, Liu Tianfu’s voice came from outside. Hearing Liu Tianfu’s call, Feng Ergou was still somewhat nervous and told Zhao Bao to check the situation. Zhao Bao tiptoed over and peeked through the door crack, seeing only Liu Tianfu outside. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. Liu Tianfu was already bowing slightly, and before he could speak, Zhao Bao, with his already small eyes, asked, "What brings you here, Headman Liu?"

Liu Tianfu smiled awkwardly and said, "I came to check on Master Feng’s injuries!"

Zhao Bao’s eyes darted around, and he suddenly smiled, "Come in!" After Liu Tianfu entered the yard, he closed the door and led him into the house.

Seeing Liu Tianfu, Feng Ergou was filled with rage. He was afraid of Chu Huan but not of Liu Tianfu, and he wanted to vent his anger on Liu Tianfu. Just as he opened his mouth to scold, he saw Zhao Bao making eye signals behind Liu Tianfu. Feng Ergou understood and tried to suppress his anger, groaning a few times but saying nothing.

Liu Tianfu approached, bowing slightly and asked carefully, "Master Feng, how... how are your injuries?"

Feng Ergou was filled with rage, thinking, "Can’t you see how badly I’m hurt?" But he showed a pained expression, groaning a few times before saying, "Headman Liu, the second son of the Chu family... he really hit hard... my leg... my leg is already useless...!"

Liu Tianfu, being cautious, said, "Master Feng, I will send someone to the city to find a good doctor. If there’s no one in Green Willow City, we will go to Yunshan City to find a doctor. We must find a good doctor to treat your leg!"

Feng Ergou gritted his teeth, thinking, "My leg bones are shattered, how can they be treated? The Chu family kid has taken one of my legs, and I will take his life!" But he did not say this aloud, only groaning and saying, "Headman Liu, you... you go back and tell... tell the second son of the Chu family that in the future, the Feng family and the Chu family will not interfere with each other... we will live in peace. You... you go back and persuade him not to... not to bully us too much!"

Liu Tianfu, hearing this, was somewhat disbelieving and asked, "Master... Master Feng, you mean... you mean this matter is... is over...!"

He found this very strange.

Feng Ergou was a petty thug who always sought revenge for the slightest offense. After being beaten so badly today, with his leg broken, could he really be content to let it go?

Feng Ergou still showed a half-true, half-false pained expression and said, "As long as... as long as he doesn’t cause trouble, this matter... this matter will be put aside. But... if he continues to cause trouble, I... I won’t be lenient... Headman Liu, you should know that Boss Xue in the city is... is my godfather. If the Chu family kid doesn’t know his place and tries to push further... don’t blame me for not showing mercy...!"

Although Liu Tianfu found this strange, he had come to the Feng family to speak on behalf of Chu Huan. Before he could plead, Feng Ergou had already said these words. From Feng Ergou’s tone, it seemed he was very wary of Chu Huan and was making a promise that if Chu Huan didn’t cause trouble, he wouldn’t either.

This was exactly what Liu Tianfu wanted. It was even better than he had expected, and he showed a pleased expression, saying, "Master Feng is magnanimous. I will go and talk to the Chu family kid and tell him not to act recklessly." He patted his chest and promised, "I, Liu Tianfu, will make sure that if he causes trouble for Master Feng again, I will be the first to drive him out of Liu Family Village...!"

Feng Ergou started groaning again and gave a look to Zhao Bao. Zhao Bao understood and stepped forward, saying softly, "Headman Liu, Master Feng is still injured and needs to rest. Please go back for now." He paused and said with a stern but weak voice, "But you must convey Master Feng’s message. The Chu family kid should behave himself. My master is kind and has a large heart, so he will let this slide this time, but if he doesn’t know his place, well... Headman Liu, you may not have met Boss Xue, but you must have heard of his abilities...!"

Liu Tianfu quickly said, "Rest assured, I will definitely convey the message and persuade Chu Er."

Zhao Bao then escorted Liu Tianfu out of the house. Although Feng Ergou had sworn that the matter was over, Liu Tianfu felt a lingering unease.

A dog doesn’t change its nature; he didn’t believe that Feng Ergou was really so magnanimous.

But he thought, could it be that Chu Huan’s actions today had really frightened Feng Ergou, making him wary of Chu Huan and unwilling to continue the conflict?

This was not impossible.

Feng Ergou, a petty thug, had always bullied the poor. Now, encountering a tough opponent who had beaten him, he might have become afraid and unwilling to continue the conflict with Chu Huan.

Liu Tianfu left the Feng family yard, thinking about the situation and trying to guess Feng Ergou’s true intentions as he walked away.

Back in the house, Zhao Bao returned with a strange smile on his face. He walked to Feng Ergou’s side and whispered, "Master, I was worried that the Chu family kid might think it over and quietly escape. Headman Liu’s visit is just in time. We can use him to keep the Chu family kid in place. As long as he doesn’t run, hehe...!" His eyes showed a sinister light.

Feng Ergou gritted his teeth and said coldly, "This time... if we don’t finish off that brat, we... we won’t have the face to stay in this village...!" He clenched his fists and said with hatred, "Chu Huan, wait and see, I will take your life, and I will also... take Ye Suniang...!"
