"Let Tongtong come at me then!" Liu Yifeng said. He placed his right hand on his back, by his waist, and stood there unmoving, waiting for Tongtong to defeat him, though he thought it impossible.
To his absolute surprise, no sooner had he taken his stance than Tongtong struck him down with lightning speed. He hadn't even seen how Tongtong had managed to do it; the speed was comparable to Bruce Lee.
"Yifeng, what's wrong with you? Tongtong just casually kicked your leg and you fell over?" Liu Chunsheng, who was watching from the side, felt utterly embarrassed.
The man who had just spoken so confidently was now taken down by his three-year-old son. How shameful!
Even with Liu Yifeng's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush.
Tongtong's presence seemed to constantly remind him that he was a useless father.
Everything he now possessed was thanks to Tongtong's strategic advice behind the scenes; otherwise, he wouldn't have made so much money in such a short time.
But what intrigued him most now was how Tongtong had managed it.
He had just felt his legs go weak, and then his body was no longer under his control as he fell to the ground.
"Tongtong, tell Daddy, how did you beat me?" Liu Yifeng asked.
"The human body has many acupoints, and each acupoint has its function.
I just kicked a certain acupoint on Daddy's leg. This acupoint can cause temporary numbness, which is why Daddy lost control and fell to the ground," Tongtong explained.
After hearing this, Liu Yifeng guessed that Tongtong's extensive knowledge at such a young age must be related to that wandering master, Master You Li Zi.
No wonder Tongtong had confidently declared that he didn't need protection; it was his father who did.
Now it seemed he was indeed no match for Tongtong.
The thought of being protected by Tongtong in the future made him feel a thrill. It would be an incredibly cool thing.
When adults and children go out, it's always the adults protecting the children. But in his case, it would be the child protecting the father.
He believed many men would envy him for having such a son, and that was the kind of envy he craved.
Time passed by unnoticed, and two days later, the wild wolves on the mountain were finally captured.
There were five wolves in total: three were adults capable of hunting for a living, while the other two were only three to four months old, still at the age where they suckled milk.
No wonder they had only seen three wolves each time. Fortunately, all the wolves were caught, and the villagers in the surrounding villages breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Heaven knows how difficult these past few days had been for them. They dared not open their doors at night, and though they could venture out during the day, they dared not act alone.
Especially when going to the fields, they lived in fear that a wolf might suddenly leap out and devour them, bringing them seven lifetimes of bad luck.
Liu Chenguang and Liu Yadong, who were being treated in the hospital's ICU, were slowly showing signs of improvement.
While their lives were saved, their legs and hands were not, and they would henceforth be disabled.
Regardless, it was still a blessing in disguise.
The luckiest of all was Liu Gang. If there had been even one more adult wolf capable of hunting, he would have suffered more than just a bruised forehead.
He might have ended up like Liu Qingyun and lost his life.
Meanwhile, at the newly rented fields of Liu Yifeng, two excavator operators had been hired to deepen the land.
After four to five days of round-the-clock work, Liu Yifeng's fields were finally ready, and fresh water had been introduced.
Now everything was in place, and all that was needed was the right timing. Once the young crayfish were introduced into the new fields, there would be no need to worry about them dying from lack of oxygen due to overcrowding.
As for these matters, they could be handled by Liu Cha Sheng and the others; Liu Yifeng didn't need to be hands-on.
However, he could resume selling crayfish tomorrow.
The crayfish purchased from the farm had been raised for nearly a month.
Their size had increased significantly compared to before, but if they weren't sold soon, they might die, as crayfish also have a lifespan.
As these crayfish were larger than before, and the supply of crayfish in the market was dwindling, Du Zi Heng decided to increase Liu Yifeng's price by five yuan per jin.
This brought Liu Yifeng's crayfish to a price of twenty-five yuan per jin.
Du Zi Heng also raised his selling price, directly selling them for thirty-five yuan per jin.
Even with an increase of seven yuan per jin, he was not worried about not being able to sell them.
As expected, once the crayfish were released to the market, the seven stalls, and over twelve thousand jin of crayfish were not enough to meet the demand.
Most of the buyers were old customers who had been craving them for a long time.
Although crayfish were available elsewhere, they were small and the meat was loose.
But the thirty-five yuan per jin crayfish, with their texture and quality, could, without exaggeration, rival Boston lobsters.
However, Boston lobsters could not be bought for thirty-five yuan per jin; they would cost at least seventy to eighty yuan, and even over a hundred yuan for the expensive ones.
Boston lobsters were too expensive for them to afford.
But thirty-five yuan per jin crayfish were still affordable for a few splurges.
It was comparable to the price of beef, as beef also cost around that price.
Du Zi Heng was thrilled with the sales, never expecting that crayfish could be raised to such large sizes.
All the mature crayfish had been sold, and only the fry remained. However, they had also grown and would be ready for sale in about three to four days.
At that time, they would sell them while also allowing the crayfish to lay eggs, thus creating an infinite cycle of sales.
Upon returning from the crayfish fields, Liu Yifeng received a call from Wang Lijie: "Liu Yifeng, I've had your application materials reviewed by the higher-ups. They said there are no major issues, but..."
He trailed off, leaving the rest unsaid. They were both intelligent people, and Liu Yifeng should understand his implication.
If he didn't, he should quickly run away. Helping such a foolish person would eventually drag him down.
Therefore, he only dealt with intelligent people. Last time, seeing Liu Yifeng's understanding and etiquette, he had intended to help him while also making a profit for himself.
"Brother Wang, I have a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits at home. Do you have time to experience a rural tour here!" Liu Yifeng also understood his meaning. After all, money couldn't buy everything, but without money, many things couldn't be done.
However, some things couldn't be said openly, and he believed Wang Lijie understood his intentions as well.
As expected, Wang Lijie immediately replied: "Sure, I happen to be free tomorrow. I'll come over again tomorrow." They both understood each other implicitly.
After finishing the call with Wang Lijie, Liu Yifeng also arrived home. He made a simple breakfast.
Later, he still had to go to the Wang family's. The village head had mentioned that he would call him once they had reached a decision regarding that piece of land.
However, after waiting for four to five days, he hadn't received the call, so he decided to go in person to find out what was going on.
