455: Chapter 453: Occupation Suddenly Becomes High-Risk?

After three rounds of drinks, the flavors of the meal had made their rounds as well.

By the time everyone had almost finished eating, it was already getting late, past three in the afternoon.

Everyone had really enjoyed the meal.

The most important thing was that the atmosphere was spot-on; everyone was in high spirits.

After finishing the meal, no one wanted to stay in the restaurant much longer; they all stood up and began to take their leave.

“Yang Zi, we’ll be heading off now.

If you ever run into any problems, feel free to come find me,” Mr.

Li stood up and said.

Chen Yang had drunk quite a bit today, but he wasn’t drunk.

“Of course, Mr.

Li, if I have any issues, I’ll definitely come to you for help,” Chen Yang also stood up and replied with a smile.

“Mm-hmm, in that case, we’ll be off.”

Mr.

Li nodded slightly, then left with a large group of students in tow.

Wang Jingman, as she left, gave Chen Yang a teasing wink, exuding charm.

This caused some stirring in Chen Yang’s heart, though he didn’t understand what Wang Jingman meant by it.

Once he had seen Mr.

Li and the others off, Chen Yang turned to look at the three women, who were already showing signs of drunkenness.

“Mr.

Li and the others have left; shall we go too?”

The three women hadn’t drunk much, but the high alcohol content was more than they could handle.

They felt drowsy and just wanted to sleep.

Hearing that it was time to go back, they all nodded eagerly.

“Alright, let’s head back as well.

I want to sleep,” one of them said.

“To the company, let’s take a nap first.”

The three women stood up simultaneously.

Chen Yang was somewhat amused, but he did not say much.

He just walked into the shop to greet the old man and let him know they were leaving.

“Leaving already?

Why don’t you stay for dinner before you go?” the old man asked, trying to persuade them to stay.

Chen Yang waved a hand: “We’ll skip dinner, there’s still work to be done back home.

Little Cui’s mother’s ALS has basically been cured, and I trust the doctors in the hospital will take care of the follow-up recovery.

I won’t be getting involved.”

Upon hearing that Chen Yang had other matters to attend to, the old man no longer insisted on keeping him, and nodded in agreement: “Alright, if you have things to take care of at home, I won’t hold you up any longer.

Come by again when you have time.”

Chen Yang acknowledged with a nod, then promptly led the three women to the car and drove away from Night Snack Street, heading back to Lintianxia.

On the way back, the three women almost fell asleep in the car.

After waking them up, Chen Yang helped them out and into the elevator and then into the office.

Once back in the office, the three women headed straight to the beds in the small room without a word and lay down to rest.

Although he wasn’t drunk, Chen Yang had drunk quite a bit and was quite sleepy himself.

So he laid down on the bed and fell asleep.

When they all woke up, it was already seven or eight in the evening.

They had a quick meal at the hotel, then Chen Yang brought Wu Kexin back to Liuhu Village.

Having been away for several days, Chen Yang happened to bump into Uncle Niu and Elder Xiao carrying crayfish down from Shangshan Village as he returned home.

“Yang Zi, you’re back,” Uncle Niu greeted Chen Yang with a smile.

Chen Yang closed the car door and walked over.

“Yes, Uncle Niu, I’m back.

How’s the business at the convenience store these past few days?

Still as booming as before?” Chen Yang asked with a smile.

At the mention of the convenience store, Uncle Niu couldn’t stop smiling.

“It’s all thanks to you!

The business at the convenience store has been doing really well; we’ve made quite a bit.”

“That’s good.”

Chen Yang nodded slightly, and then sat at the entrance of the clinic and chatted with Uncle Niu and Old Master Xiao for a few days.

He casually inquired about whether anything had happened in the village recently.

“Nothing much, just rumors that a fierce beast has been descending from the mountains recently, which has everyone quite jittery!”

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s question, Uncle Niu mentioned it somewhat deliberately.

“A fierce beast?”

Chen Yang looked at Uncle Niu, slightly shocked and feeling it was almost unimaginable.

Being on the edge of the mountains, encountering packs of wolves and such was quite common around these parts.

A creature referred to as a fierce beast!

That definitely meant a relatively large animal.

Seeing Chen Yang’s interest, Uncle Niu continued to talk.

“Yes, they say a fierce beast has come down from the mountains, but no one knows if it’s true or not.

Anyway, I haven’t seen it,” Uncle Niu said as he lit a cigarette.

Just as Chen Yang was about to ask more, Old Master Xiao suddenly interjected.

“What do you mean not knowing if it’s true?

I’m pretty sure it’s real!

The incident with the cow in the neighboring village, I saw it with my own eyes.

It was definitely the work of a fierce beast,” Old Master Xiao said assertively.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately followed up, “A cow?

What happened recently?

Can you be more specific, Old Master Xiao?”

Old Master Xiao also lit a cigarette and said at a leisurely pace, “It happened yesterday.

A cow suddenly disappeared in Shangshan Village next door.

Some villagers went to look for it, and in the end, they found it dead on the mountain, with much of its flesh eaten away by wild animals.”

After Old Master Xiao finished speaking, Uncle Niu immediately showed some disbelief, “There are many fierce beasts on the mountain.

How can you be so sure it was eaten by one?”

Old Master Xiao laughed it off.

Instead of arguing with Uncle Niu directly, he turned to Chen Yang with a smile, “Yang Zi, don’t you think your Uncle Niu is being foolish?

Ordinary wild beasts could surely eat a dead cow, but who has the power to kill a water buffalo?”

As soon as Old Master Xiao said this, Uncle Niu was left without a response.

Chen Yang also thought about it seriously and felt that Old Master Xiao made sense.

Ordinary wild beasts simply didn’t have the ability to prey on a water buffalo.

It had to be a large wild beast.

“It’s been so many years, and we haven’t heard of any large wild beasts around.

It’s indeed strange,” Chen Yang said softly.

“Exactly!

Haven’t heard about large wild beasts for many years.

We really need to be more cautious recently, just in case we encounter one it would be troublesome,” Old Master Xiao picked up where Chen Yang left off, and then quietly smoked.

Chen Yang then fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

After several minutes of silence, Chen Yang lifted his head to look at Uncle Niu and Old Master Xiao,

“Uncle Niu, Old Master Xiao, would you mind taking another trip up the mountain with me today?”

Uncle Niu and Old Master Xiao extinguished their cigarette butts and stood up.

“What’s up, Yang Zi?

Why are we going up the mountain again?”

“Today, we’ll haul down more crayfish and then give you guys a few days off.

If there really is a large fierce beast on the mountain, it would be too dangerous for you,” Chen Yang explained.

Uncle Niu and Old Master Xiao had just been eagerly discussing the fierce beast.

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, they turned pale.

Only then did they remember that they had to haul crayfish down the mountain every night.

If there really was a large fierce beast on the mountain, their nighttime trek to haul crayfish would indeed be too perilous.

“How could we have forgotten about this!”

Slapping his forehead, Uncle Niu said, “You’re right, Yang Zi.

We need to catch more to avoid going up the mountain every day.”

After the two elders realized the situation, they quickly followed Chen Yang into the clinic, grabbed many plastic baskets, and followed Chen Yang up the mountain, intending to haul down a larger quantity of crayfish at once.
