Chapter 1036: Chapter 544: The Dragon King Manifests_2

"Oh, oh, oh..." Yan Fei nodded. "I think I remember something like that!"

"You call them first, right now, and let them know in advance to clear out the elementary school for you, so if there’s any problem, you can hurry and move the cattle there!" Lin Baoguo directly pulled the telephone on the table and issued a forceful command.

Yan Fei hesitated with the phone in hand: "Should I run over and give them some earnest money first? Otherwise, without any hard commitment..."

"Just make the call!" Old Pan was quite speechless, feeling both gratified and frustrated with Yan Fei.

The guy had too good a foundation among the people, it’s true that rural folks tend to stick together, but this also had its benefits. For someone like Yan Fei, who had helped one household in the village, at least half of the village would remember his kindness.

Furthermore, with Boss Yan’s reputation now, if he said he wanted to rent a place, lots of villages would hope he’d pick their land—first come, first served. Didn’t you see, in Guan Village now, not only had people gotten jobs in the cattle farm, but also last year’s fifty mu of forage had brought in some extra income for quite a few households.

Ma Yongming, who had been quiet until then, suggested, "Ask about the situation with that elementary school. If it’s not suitable, I’ll bring people over tomorrow to do some renovations; we can’t just put the cattle there without any grass to eat..."

Yan Fei nodded, made the call, and sure enough, as soon as the other end heard it was Yan Fei looking to rent a space, they agreed without even discussing rental fees. The call wasn’t even over when he heard the village secretary calling people to hurry and clean up the old elementary school...

After hanging up the phone, Yan Fei mumbled: "I still think the water won’t rise to my cattle farm!"

"Whether it rises or not, that’s not for you to decide!" Lin Baoguo, seeing that Yan Fei had finished the call, didn’t have the strength to argue with him any more. "That’s it then! Old Pan and I will be leaving first, you look after things at the farm yourself."

"There’s nothing to look after, maybe the water will go down by tomorrow..." Yan Fei stood up to see his guests out, but couldn’t help adding another remark.

"Humph!" Lin Baoguo snorted coldly as he stood up. "If the water goes down by tomorrow, I’ll eat this chair. Do you think you can command the will of the heavens?"

"I can’t command all, but I can at least be half in charge," Boss Yan boasted shamelessly.

"Fine, you can say whatever you want. If you can make the water level fall by tomorrow, I’ll eat my words, and not only will I eat the chair, but I’ll even call you uncle," Lin Baoguo said as he walked away without turning back.

Yan Fei fell silent, inwardly cursing. You call me uncle and I wouldn’t even dare to agree!

Afraid mom will come back and beat me up!

After they left, Ma Yongming stayed behind, ready to discuss with Yan Fei about the renovations.

After thinking a moment, Yan Fei said: "If the water really rises by tomorrow, it’ll certainly be too late to build. How about this, you find some carpenters, go to the timber market to buy some wood, and make some wooden feed troughs to get by for now."

"Alright, I’ll contact people tonight, and first thing tomorrow morning I’ll go handle it!" Ma Yongming prepared to take his leave after saying this.

"Ok, tomorrow I’ll have Brother Fa bring money to buy the wood. Let’s settle on that for now!" Yan Fei got up to see Ma Yongming off.

"Brother Fei, what should we do?" After everyone had left, Heizi came over with the people from the farm and asked.

"Everyone go to sleep!" Yan Fei waved his hand. "Maybe the water level will decrease by tomorrow."

Heizi and the others seemed to have more to say, but Yan Fei continued, "We’ve all got vehicles ready here, you guys go get a good night’s sleep. When things get busier tomorrow, we won’t have time to sleep, so take advantage of this time to rest well. Off you go!"

"I’ve got to go back too, the stuff at home is piled up in a mess. If the water rises tomorrow, I’ll definitely have to tidy up; I won’t stay here tonight," Xu Xiaoyan apologized for not being able to stay with Yan Fei.

Her family ran a convenience store, which had a lot of items that couldn’t all be tidied up in short order. For now, they were just placing the larger items higher up, with most things still not sorted out, also hoping that the water wouldn’t reach the town. If it did rise, they’d just have to save what they could, which was all that could be done.

"Oh!" Yan Fei feigned a regretful tone. "Then I’ll walk you home! By the way, you should also suggest to your dad to reconstruct that old house into a multi-story building. That location is great. Turning it into a building might even bring better business. Don’t let him be too stingy to spend the money!"

Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him: "You’re also aware of my family’s situation in the past years; it’s only in the last two years that we’ve started making a bit of money, and I’m not sure if it’s enough to build a house. I’ll mention it when I get back! We’ve all built multi-story houses, what about your house then?"

Yan Fei pushed his motorcycle out: "Our family’s blacksmith shop is an old brand, I’m not going to build it into a tower. I plan to renovate it later, turn it into a brick house with large tiles. Maybe when I stop running the cattle farm, I’ll go back to running the blacksmith shop!"

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips and laughed, this guy was always so offbeat, never forgetting his family’s blacksmith shop.

After sending Xu Xiaoyan off, the guy hopped on his motorcycle and tossed it near the cattle farm, then casually strolled toward the riverbank.

Seeing nobody around, he transformed into Xiaohei, a little black bird, and flew confidently toward the north.

He flew all the way to the upstream area of that polluted factory he had once sabotaged and, after flying a bit further, dove straight into the water.

This place, in addition to the polluted river, had a smaller river converging with it. The area where the two rivers met was already wide, and with the waters now rising, even if there were patrols on the river banks monitoring the water levels, they wouldn’t be able to clearly see what was occurring in the middle of the river.
