Chapter 589: Chapter 255: A Few Steps_1
The moment the Third Young Master Guo noticed what the bodyguard pointed out, he promptly started hopping around in panic— literally hopping, there on his foot, amidst the muddy silt was a round, thumb-sized, nauseatingly grotesque little meatball!
It was a special product of Sancha River, the large leech. Those in other ponds were generally smaller, which are known as Mabie or scientifically, Hirudinea. When extended, they are only about the size of an average earthworm— country children know how to deal with them. They can’t be pulled out directly after they’ve sucked blood and entered the flesh; a straight pull would break them, leaving some parts behind in the flesh. The only solutions would be to use a shoe sole or palm to smack them out or to burn them and let them come out on their own.
The weather is still cold now. The large leeches are usually hiding deep in the mud at this time, but the Third Young Master Guo had managed to bring one out from the mud.
After a great deal of effort, he managed to get rid of the nauseating creature. He was still looking around to check if there were any more of them. The bodyguard had helped him check, and reassured, "Master, it’s okay, it’s cold now and these critters wouldn’t come out often. Even if they do, they won’t suck blood..."
The bodyguard quickly went over to help another who was struggling to climb up the river bank with a person on his back.
They struggled quite a bit before all three of them managed to get to the shore. The two bodyguards on the cow dung also stood up, holding their chests. Aside from being covered in dung, they seemed to be otherwise unharmed.
Looking like wounded soldiers returning from battle, the six of them made their way back to the edge of the greenhouse.
%s was deeply worried upon seeing the Sixth Miss Guo laying on the ground. "Little sister, what happened to you?" he asked anxiously.
Even while struggling to get off the back of the bodyguard, the Third Young Master Guo scolded him from behind "Just stay down, our little sister is okay, she just fainted!"
Among the two who laid on the ground, the most fortunate was arguably Miss Nana. She fainted right from the start, so she missed all the chaos. The Second most fortunate was the Sixth Miss Guo, at least for now, she lay clean on the ground.
As for the others, the Third Young Master Guo and the other two bodyguards weren’t hurt much, but being covered in mud in this cold weather certainly wasn’t pleasant. At this time, the Third Young Master Guo stepped forward and said, "Boss Yan, everything that happened today was my fifth younger brother’s fault. Please forgive us, we will come and apologize formally later!"
Seeing his sincerity, and considering the presence of Ma Yongming and a bunch of workers around, Yan Fei gave a nod, ignoring the hostile look from the Fifth Young Master Guo and responded, "No need for apologies, just leave! And don’t come back..."
The Third Young Master Guo apologized again and again. With the guidance of a bodyguard who knew first aid, they managed to revive the Sixth Miss Guo. The Sixth Miss Guo still looked blank even upon regaining consciousness, probably assuming that she was dead! The Third Young Master Guo, who thought she might have been startled into imbecility, made a big ruckus before she fully came to. Despite being fully conscious, fear was still evident on her face and her body was shaking.
As for Miss Nana, the bodyguard went up to her and performed some first aid. Fortunately, she too woke up.
However, just as Miss Nana opened her eyes, she saw Yan Fei standing next to her and a tiger lying not far away. She almost fainted all over again.
With everyone awake, the Third Young Master Guo continued to apologize as they helped each other towards the cars and left.
When they got a sufficient distance away, both the Sixth Miss Guo and Miss Nana finally burst into tears.
The crying was earth-shattering, and the bodyguards didn’t know how to console them. All eyes turned to the Third Young Master Guo who simply shook his head, "Let them cry it out! They’ll be fine after the crying..."
The Fifth Young Master Guo spoke with a hateful expression, "This is not over. They dare to offend the Guo family. Do they really think we would just leave? I’ll hire a gunman to wipe out his whole family if he doesn’t apologize!"
The Third Young Master Guo was enraged and hissed in a low voice, "Shut up! If you want to die, go find a place to do it yourself instead of dragging me and your sister down with you..."
While speaking, he glanced furtively behind him...
They hadn’t walked too far when Ma Yongming hushedly murmured to Yan Fei, "Did we just let them go like that?"
The implication of his words was clear. These people were arrogant when they arrived. But now, after being tormented by Yan Fei, would they let this matter drop so easily?
The girl voiced her concern: "They’re not going to tattle on us, are they?"
The other workers joined in the chatter, expressing their worries that this wouldn’t end so simply. Their homes had cattle to feed, so they hoped Yan Fei’s ranch would thrive. But considering the current situation, they were at a loss!
Yan Fei, however, kept his face down in thought. Suddenly, lifting his head and looking towards the group of people who were about to reach their car, he chuckled and said, "Don’t worry. Righteousness pervades the world. We’re in the right and we’re not afraid wherever we go!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw The Third Young Master Guo looking back at them. Yan Fei waved back at him with a smile, "Watch your step on the road..."
None of them noticed Yan Fei’s wave. Master Guo immediately turned away, his pace momentarily faltering.
Miss Xu Xiaoyan reprimanded Yan Fei, "You’re still laughing. They are major merchants from Hong Kong. One of them said their family holds significant influence in Hong Kong!"
Ma Yongming glared at Yan Fei, seeming to say, "Act recklessly all you want! That guy just came over to utter some flippant remarks, but what can he do after we showed up? Now, what if they go around damaging our reputation with local leaders? You might not be able to keep your cattle ranch running!"
Yan Fei laughed, "Don’t worry. We’re in an isolated place, and as long as I operate within the law, who would dare stir trouble? If they complain, you all can testify. It was their people who provoked my wife first! Let’s see... I’ll go catch some big fish in the river later. If we’re lucky, we may even get an old turtle or something. I’ll treat you all to a good meal tonight to show my appreciation..."
Miss Xu Xiaoyan was exasperated, "You... You’re driving me crazy, always thinking about eating... Should they take us to court, things definitely won’t be as simple as you think..."
Filled with resentment, Ma Yongming didn’t know how to respond. He seemed to realize something, sighed, stomped his foot and shouted at the workers, "Get back to work! Let’s face the problems when they come. We can’t do much about this. Let’s finish building this shed first. If his ranch falls apart, we’ll partition the shed and forget about the payment..."
Yan Fei turned around and called over a few tigers and black bears, tying them up one by one. He comforted the upset girl, "Don’t worry, get back to your work! Those two dogs have been barking for a while now, you haven’t gone to comfort them yet. Go check if they have water in their bowls, if not, go refill..."
The girl humphed, giving Yan Fei a look, then angrily headed back to check. She was back in a blink, yelling before she even came out, "There’s plenty of water! What are you up to?"
Yan Fei was quick with his hands and feet. All the beasts had been tied up and he was about to head towards the river. He gestured back, "I’m going up to the Sancha River to catch some fish. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be back soon..."
From afar, Ma Yongming shouted, "Catch lots of big fish! You’ve got a long way to walk! Wouldn’t it be faster if you rode a motorcycle..."
Yan Fei waved off, "No worries, I won’t ride, it’s just a short walk..."
With that, he ran off towards the river without even glancing back at the puzzled look on Ma Yongming’s face...
