But another man came forward and punched Li Huan in the face. Li Huan's eyes narrowed, knowing that he had met a tough guy today. He could only dodge quickly and stare at this real opponent with all his attention.
The two men started fighting back and forth. The man with the machete looked back with a smile on his face. As long as Big Head took action, there was no one he could not defeat.
"Well, have you made up your mind? Will you follow me or not?"
Cheng Qiao took a deep breath and nodded to the man carrying the machete. The man showed pride in his eyes and rushed towards Cheng Qiao impatiently.
"ah… "
When the man was two or three steps away from Cheng Qiao, he suddenly screamed. Li Huan and Datou stopped at the same time and looked over.
"Red-headed pit viper."
Li Huan recognized the snake at a glance, and then he remembered that the snake was originally kept as a magic weapon by his wife, and now it came in handy.
When the man named Big Head heard Li Huan shout "red-headed viper", he got goose bumps all over his body. When he saw the red-headed viper crawling towards him, he was so scared that he turned around and ran towards the county town.
You know, what he feared most was snakes, especially poisonous snakes, so he simply couldn't remember that his accomplice was still lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.
But the red-headed viper did not give him a chance. Under Cheng Qiao's command, it chased after him directly. Datou ran and ran, and suddenly he felt a piercing pain in his right leg. But he did not dare to stop. He endured the pain and continued to run forward.
Cheng Qiao shook her head. This man was finished. He was still running violently after being bitten by a poisonous snake. If he didn't die, who would? She kicked the man lying on the ground and found that he was unconscious. Then she used her mind to put the red-headed viper into space.
Li Huan was delighted. The little fairy was a little fairy. Even the red-headed viper listened to her. She was simply invincible.
"Wife, you saved your man's life. From now on, your man and my life will be yours."
"Don't be so funny, let me see if you are injured."
"No, how could I be injured? Your master gave you a martial arts book. But what happened to you? I hope you didn't have a miscarriage."
Li Hua didn't care about the injuries on his body. Instead, he hugged Cheng Qiao and checked her from head to toe, for he was worried that Cheng Qiao might have an accident.
"Li Huan, what should we do with this person? The red-headed pit viper is very poisonous. If we leave it like this, he will surely die after a long time."
"Let him go. These two men are probably desperate criminals. Keeping them here will only bring disaster to the people."
"Well, I'll listen to you."
"Hey, where's that red-headed pit viper?"
"I put it away. By the way, the man said there are still bicycles of theirs over there."
Li Huan's eyes lit up. He touched his still aching stomach secretly and ran towards the woods nearby. Sure enough, there were two bicycles there, which looked to be about 80% new.
"Wife, can you put it away?"
Cheng Qiao nodded and touched the handlebars of the bicycles with his fingers. The two bicycles disappeared in an instant. Li Huan smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and he supported Cheng Qiao and walked towards the ox cart.
Before leaving, Li Huan carefully checked the scene again to make sure that he did not leave any traces. Then he carried Cheng Qiao onto the ox cart and continued to drive the cart towards Xiangyang Village.
"Wife, please take out some meat. I want to take it to Qian Longkun and the others. Also, tell them how to get Uncle Niu involved."
Cheng Qiao thought about it and decided that the quickest and best way to get people into the water now is to cater to their preferences. Just give Uncle Niu whatever he likes and send him whatever he needs.
Li Huan nodded. Uncle Niu liked cigarettes and alcohol, and his clothes were too worn out. If he had some cloth to make him a set of clothes, he would definitely be able to get into trouble.
The two men smiled at each other. Cheng Qiao turned his wrist, and two pieces of meat appeared on the ox cart, along with a piece of black khaki material. Judging from the size, it should be enough to make a pair of trousers.
Li Huan raised the whip and whipped the ground hard, mumbling something to command the old cow. The old cow mooed and walked forward.
"Hey, why are you back so early today?"
When Uncle Niu saw his old cow coming back, he hurriedly asked. Li Huan smiled and said that he just went to the county town to mail a letter to his father-in-law, so he came back early.
When Uncle Niu heard the name of his father-in-law, his curiosity was piqued and he immediately asked what Cheng Qiao's father did. When he learned that he was the deputy director of Huizhou No. 1 Steel Plant, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Little rascal, little rascal, it turns out that there is a saying that luck really comes sometimes. You must cherish your blessings and treat the girl well, okay?"
"Uncle Niu, watch carefully and see how I cherish my wife. Here, this is the cloth my wife gave you. Just give me fifty cents for the cloth."
"What? Such a big piece of cloth only costs fifty cents. I don't want it. It's useless even if I take it. I don't know how to make clothes."
"Here, you'll need your cart a lot in the future, so just use it as payment for the cart first. As for the clothes, you can just let the women in the backyard make them. At most you can give them some firewood and sorghum flour, and that's it."
Uncle Niu narrowed his eyes. He always felt that the second-rate guy was setting a trap for him, but he couldn't find any reason. How could it be possible that he would give a piece of cloth just to use the ox cart? The guy also had a bicycle.
It's just that the fabric is so attractive. He hasn't made new clothes for more than ten years. Never mind, he'll collect it first. If it doesn't work out, the worst that can happen is he can just be a ruffian.
"Okay, thank Cheng Zhiqing for me. I have to make a pair of pants. Look at the pants I'm wearing. I don't even dare to wash them in water, otherwise they will get rotten."
Uncle Niu gently pulled his trousers, and sure enough, a piece of cloth was pulled off, revealing the black and hard cotton inside.
"Uncle, your pants won't last long in the cold. There should be some cotton at home. I'll bring you a few pounds."
Uncle Niu stopped talking, staring at Li Huan with his eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed Li Huan by the collar and dragged him into the house:
"Tell me, what do you want, little rascal?"
"Nothing, isn't it good enough to give you cotton?"
"No, you little rascal, I know what shit you're doing as soon as you raise your butt. Tell me how you want to use me and see if I can do it."
Li Huan admired him in his heart. Old Bull Head was indeed Old Bull Head. Even though he looked simple and honest at ordinary times, no one could fool him at critical moments.
After organizing his words, he lowered his head and whispered a few words in Uncle Niu's ear. Uncle Niu's already cloudy eyes brightened up. No wonder this kid was so attentive today. It turned out that he was setting a trap for him.
But he had to fall into this trap. Although he was just a cowherd in the village, he had carried a gun and participated in the revolution when he was young. It was only because of health reasons that he returned to his hometown to get married and have children.
It’s a pity that his wife died early and his only son got lost in the county town and never came back. He can only wait here, hoping that the day will come when his son returns.
