"You are not to tell anyone about what happened today!" Guan Xiangfeng said sternly.
Dog Song said, "Watch your mouth. If you spout nonsense, I'll break your legs!"
"Why did you break my legs?"
"Then I'll break your mouth!"
…
Finally, both of them fell silent.
"Tell me, you are a man. Why are you following me?" Guan Xiangfeng said with a huff.
"You have a big beard and you wander around the village. If I don't look at you, who should I look at? What if you steal something from someone? "Dog Song lied boldly.
"I … I steal something!?" Guan Xiangfeng pointed at his beard, looking furious from being insulted! Then, he pointed at the distant Mercedes-Benz. "Do you know how much that car of mine costs? A car worth a million! There aren't many cars in your county city that cost that much! If I were to buy a car worth a million, would I steal something from your village? "
Dog Song was displeased when he heard that. He suddenly turned his head and pointed at a chicken that passed by. "Do you know how much that chicken costs? Ten million! You won't find a second chicken like that in the entire world! "
"Pui! Screw you!" Guan Xiangfeng knew that he had met a scoundrel when he heard that. He immediately cursed.
Dog Song immediately spat back. Then, both of them wiped their faces and turned around. Ugh …
After arguing all day, they finally stopped. After all, they had a favor to ask of each other.
Dog Song said, "Why are you so petty? Your teacher is injured and lives in the village. Since you have nothing better to do, why is it so difficult to teach Lame Ma carving? "
"It's not like he's a pretty chick. If I have the time, wouldn't it be better for me to pick up chicks? No! "Guan Xiangfeng rejected him decisively. Then, he asked," By the way, where do you have the best bamboo? "
"I'm not telling you! Even if I tell you, you are not allowed to pick it! This is our village's bamboo. If you dare pick it, it's equivalent to stealing! According to our village's rules, thieves are to be beaten to death on the streets! " Although Dog Song said so, his eyes were flashing. He was not afraid that Guan Xiangfeng had ulterior motives, but he was afraid that he had no desires! As long as he had a request, it would be easy.
Guan Xiangfeng was truly given a fright as he frowned. "Can you at least give me a section?"
"No way!" Dog Song said firmly.
"Why am I telling you this? My head is spinning too. I'll go find your village chief." With that said, Guan Xiangfeng got up and left.
Dog Song sneered, "It's useless even if you look for the village chief or the secretary! Only one person in the village has the final say on this matter! "
"Who is it?" Guan Xiangfeng was puzzled. The village chief and secretary were useless in such a huge village? How could this be? Could it be that there were gangsters and descendants of high-ranking officials hiding in the village?
Dog Song pointed to the mountaintop and said, "All the Frost Bamboo belongs to One Finger Monastery's Abbot, Venerable Fangzheng. If he doesn't say anything, you want the best bamboo? Hmph … don't even think about it. As for me, I happen to have a good relationship with Abbot Fangzheng … Hehe, what's with that look? If you don't believe me, the model soldier sign in front of our house is still hanging! Go to the village and ask around. Who doesn't know what kind of person I was in the past? Pui! I was an ignorant loafer in the past. It was Abbot Fangzheng who enlightened me, turning me into the person I am today. " When Dog Song said that, he was filled with gratitude. Although he had been fooled, his life had truly undergone a drastic change.
However …
Guan Xiangfeng sneered. "Heh heh, he enlightened you?"
Dog Song nodded.
"He enlightened you into this state? Forget it. I can tell what kind of person that Venerable One is just by looking at you. "Guan Xiangfeng shook his head and turned to leave.
Dog Song hurriedly chased after him. "Don't doubt me. If you don't believe me, go ask around. I'll be struck by lightning if I'm lying!"
"As if I'd believe you." Guan Xiangfeng ignored Dog Song and returned to Wang Yougui's house.
Wang Yougui wasn't stingy. He slaughtered an old hen, got a one-kilogram river fish, got a kilogram of sorghum wine, a handful of hazelnut mushrooms, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised carp, sliced cucumber, fried pig's ears, and a plate of pickled vegetables. A sumptuous Chinese meal was prepared.
Everyone took their seats and exchanged toasts. Everyone was extremely grateful to Wang Yougui. Guan Xiangfeng kept toasting Wang Yougui and said all sorts of nice things. Fan Qing and Qiu Xiaoye wore looks of puzzlement. Guan Xiangfeng always had his eyes on the back of his head, so why was he so attentive today? One who was unaccountably attentive was definitely up to no good. There was definitely something wrong with this fellow.
Jiang Zhou was somewhat puzzled as well. However, Guan Xiangfeng did not say anything at the dining table. It was as though he had no ulterior motives, so he did not think too much about it. Due to his poor health, he rested after the meal.
Wang Yougui came to the yard and planned on weeding the vegetable garden. Guan Xiangfeng immediately came over and whispered, "Village Chief Wang, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" Wang Yougui was a shrewd person. He knew that something was up the moment Guan Xiangfeng toasted him. Furthermore, it wasn't something that could be said in public.
"Hehe … Village Chief, about that … My master is a wood carving master. To us, good carving materials are very important. I heard that your village has top-grade bamboo. Do you think you can give us some? I want to give it to my master. " This was the first time Guan Xiangfeng was speaking to someone in such a subservient manner. His face was flushed red as he spoke incoherently. However, he managed to express his intentions clearly.
Wang Yougui was taken aback when he heard that. He knew that Jiang Zhou was a teacher, but he did not know what kind of teacher he was. He never expected Jiang Zhou to be a wood carving teacher! Wang Yougui's eyes darted around as he immediately thought of something. The bamboo carving in the village had not made much progress. Furthermore, the masters they hired were beginning to request for higher wages and higher prices when they saw that their bamboo carvings were selling well. Most importantly, they had formed an alliance. They often used the excuse of collectively resigning and leaving as a reason to threaten the village. Wang Yougui had always been vexed by his lack of a better solution. All he could do was placate them.
With the experience of hiring someone, Wang Yougui deeply understood a principle. To forge iron, one needed to be strong. Therefore, he strongly supported Lame Ma's teaching of bamboo carving. Unfortunately, Lame Ma was only a dabbler. He could not teach anything good. He and Tan Juguo had nearly pulled out all their hair because of this matter.
Now that a wood carving teacher had come knocking on his door, he immediately had an idea.
Therefore, Wang Yougui nodded and said, "It's not a problem to give you some top-grade Frost Bamboo, but I have no say in this matter."
"Oh?" Guan Xiangfeng was taken aback. The village chief really had no say in this matter? Could it be that Dog Song was telling the truth?
"Don't be alarmed. If it were ordinary Frost Bamboo, I would give you some. However, top-grade Frost Bamboo can only be found on Mt. One Finger's mountaintop. It belongs to Mt. One Finger's abbot, Venerable Fangzheng. If he doesn't say it, no one can agree to it, "said Wang Yougui.
