Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Helping Younger Siblings Out of a Predicament

The key on top of the Shen Nong box?

Wang Hao suddenly recalled, that day within the ancient tomb, he indeed saw a box that contained that pill and beast hide.

At the time, he felt puzzled how such an important box opened so easily; as it turns out the key was missing.

"It is said that Shen Nong would always carry a box to collect precious herbs when he went up the mountain to gather medicine, and this box was made from millennium phoebe wood, which is extremely valuable," one said.

"Later, his descendants crafted a pure gold lock and key to match the box for him."

Wang Hao suddenly came to a realization.

"But old sir, how did you come to have that key?"

Wang Hao looked curiously at the elder.

"Just like you, I also stumbled upon it by chance. Initially, I thought it was just an ordinary gold key and planned to sell it, but since it appeared, a lot of miraculous things happened around me so I kept it," the old man replied.

As he spoke, the old man suddenly became alert and gave Wang Hao a stern look, asking,

"Why do you ask so many questions? I must remind you not to be greedy again!"

"I’m just curious, what happened to that gold key later?"

Wang Hao pressed on.

"It was lost because after I discovered the secret of the gold key, I used it to forcibly seize too much fortune for myself. The gold key disappeared to punish me!"

The old man spoke somewhat sorrowfully, as if he still missed the presence of the gold key.

Wang Hao was skeptical, but since the old man did not want to talk about it anymore, he did not probe any further into the man’s pain.

"Old sir, this is my phone number. Call me anytime if you need anything. I must hurry back to the village now; there is a pile of things waiting for me!"

Wang Hao left his phone number with the old man.

Having just stepped out of the house, Wang Hao thought about how the old man kept reminding him; he didn’t seem like a bad person.

So he turned back to the elder and said,

"Old sir, rest assured, Shen Nong’s box and the other treasures have not been touched by anyone. I will also make sure no one else touches them!"

Having said this, Wang Hao walked away straightforwardly.

The old man was stunned for a while, watching Wang Hao’s departing figure disappear. freёweɓnovel.com

This young man had already stumbled upon incredible fortune by obtaining the Heart of the Dragon, and now he even knows the whereabouts of Shen Nong’s phoebe wood box?

What kind of person is he?

Right, he also mentioned other treasures? Could it be he knows the location of Shen Nong’s tomb as well?

For a thousand years, so many archaeologists and tomb raiders have failed to discover Shen Nong’s burial chamber, yet this lad has found it? How much luck must one have to encounter such a thing!

...

On the way back to Chen Village, Wang Hao kept thinking about this matter.

The elder’s recognition that Wang Hao possessed the Heart of the Dragon was definitely not a trick.

And what about the elder’s mention that each person’s fortune is limited? How much fortune did Wang Hao still have?

In recent days, he had already received so much; had he not already exceeded the fortune that a small farmer should have?

This question, Wang Hao had no idea where to find the answer!

Even the fortune of Ancient Heavenly Gods ran out eventually; as for him, Wang Hao, a mere unknown small farmer, surely his fortune had long been exhausted!

Getting out of the car, Wang Hao quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts.

Better not to worry about it for now; just take it one step at a time. All he needed to do was to strive with his heart, with gratitude. Even if his luck was spent, he would have no regrets. freeweɓnøvel.com

Besides, life is but a few short decades; is it not a waste of time to fret over whether one’s luck is exhausted or not?

"Haozi, what are you doing here?"

As he walked, Wang Hao suddenly heard the voice of Zheng Cailian.

Seeing Zheng Cailian, Wang Hao was also quite shocked.

It turned out that Zheng Cailian, seeing that there were still a lot of medicinal herbs left in Su Zhenping’s yard, took them to town on her own to sell. She thought that selling even a bit was better than allowing them to rot at home.

However, this time of the year, there were very few people selling medicinal herbs, especially in such a small town where they were even less sought after.

Zheng Cailian, seeing that she couldn’t sell anything and was preparing to pack up to go home, then spotted Wang Hao walking down the street as if he had lost his soul.

"Cailian, don’t do this sort of thing in the future, it’s so tiring!"

Wang Hao, seeing Zheng Cailian busy and sweating profusely, felt very distressed.

"What’s wrong? Am I embarrassing you?"

Zheng Cailian asked with a pout.

"Embarrassing? I just feel distressed seeing you so exhausted all alone!"

Wang Hao quickly went over to help Zheng Cailian wipe her sweat.

"Stop that, there are so many people on the street, it wouldn’t look good if they saw us!"

Zheng Cailian quickly dodged, because as a widow with a child, and Wang Hao being an unmarried young man, getting close to a widow in public, people would definitely gossip about Wang Hao.

"What’s there to be afraid of? We’re not doing anything shameful!"

Wang Hao insisted firmly, lifting his arm to wipe Zheng Cailian’s sweat, with a movement that was quite intimate.

Seeing Wang Hao speak like that, Zheng Cailian also happily accepted, her heart overjoyed and her cheeks blushing.

"Wang Hao, what have you been so busy with these past few days? Why haven’t you called your second brother?"

Just as Wang Hao and Zheng Cailian were being intimate, Sun Lao Er suddenly came over.

Seeing the close behavior between the two, Sun Lao Er couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

He thought to himself that Wang Hao was quite something; having the shrewd and capable Xia Xue in Chicheng County, and that mischievous Qi Shihan.

To think that he had hidden another charming beauty in Chen Village, and there was also that ambiguous policewoman Zhou Yingying—it really was blooming everywhere.

"Oh, this must be the sister-in-law!"

Although Sun Lao Er usually looked fierce and barbaric, he knew how to speak nicely. Seeing Zheng Cailian, he said with a smile.

"Our brother is really blessed, with a sister-in-law who is both virtuous and capable, and so beautiful too, she’s like a rare find even with a lantern."

Zheng Cailian’s pretty face turned beet red from embarrassment, and she was so shy she didn’t even dare to lift her head.

The people around who knew Zheng Cailian started pointing and discussing behind her back.

"Isn’t that Widow Zheng? What’s her relationship with the young man beside her? How come..."

"Hey, if you’re young and pretty, who could stand being lonely?"

The more the people around talked, the uglier their words became, making Zheng Cailian wish she could just crawl into a hole, and Wang Hao’s face also darkened upon hearing them.

"To hell with them!"

Sun Lao Er raised his voice and roared angrily.

"Are you guys so full of food that you have nothing better to do? All day long, all you know is how to gossip. If I hear you chewing your tongues behind someone’s back again, I’ll tear your mouths apart myself. Get lost!"

In the mud pit of the village, who didn’t know Sun Lao Er? The gossipers immediately shut their mouths and scattered as if fleeing.

"Sister-in-law, don’t listen to their nonsense; these people are just rude and can’t stand to see others doing well. Don’t lower yourself to their level, alright?"

As the saying goes, the door of a widow is prone to trouble, and Sun Lao Er was aware of this logic, so he said, patting his chest.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, if anyone dares to bully you again, just tell your second brother. I won’t let them off!"

Suddenly he looked at Wang Hao with a sly smile and said with a change in tone.

"Heh heh, if it’s brother Wang Hao who bullies you, then I’m afraid I can’t do anything because I can’t beat him!"

"Pfft—"

Zheng Cailian couldn’t help laughing because of Sun Lao Er.

"Alright, alright, since you’re smiling now, it’s all good. Like I said, it’s not worth getting upset over these people!"

Sun Lao Er also laughed heartily along.

However, Wang Hao found it strange—the Sun family had just taken over Chicheng County, so why wasn’t Sun Lao Er staying there instead of coming back? Had something happened?

So he asked.

"Second brother, is everything okay over in Chicheng County? Why have you come back?"
