Chen JianShe glanced where Xu Chongshan was pointing and refused outright.
"I’m not going."
Never mind that they were pointing at a desolate, empty lot with nothing worth seeing.
Even if there were a spectacular view, it couldn’t possibly distract him from watching his Brother Leng butcher the pig.
’A magnificent sight like this isn’t something you get to see every day.’
Chen JianShe pushed a few people aside and went back to intently watching the butchering.
’His Brother Leng really was in a league of his own. Even the way he butchered a pig looked better than anyone else’s.’
The guys exchanged a look and simply took action, dragging him away without another word.
A few villagers saw what was happening but paid it no mind. The group usually got along well, so they figured nothing serious would come of it.
Chen JianShe was utterly dumbfounded.
Seeing that they were about to carry him off, he began to struggle violently.
"Let go! I still want to watch Brother Leng carve up the wild boar!"
The men didn’t let go. In fact, their pace quickened.
This left Chen JianShe even more bewildered.
’What’s going on?’
Before he could figure it out, he was thrown to the ground, his butt aching from the impact.
Chen JianShe: "..."
He rubbed his backside and climbed to his feet.
The four men stared at him with ill intent.
Even someone as dense as Chen JianShe could tell something was wrong...
"You want a fight."
The men cracked their knuckles.
"You guessed it."
They couldn’t take on Leng Yuan, but they figured teaching Chen JianShe a lesson would be a piece of cake.
Chen JianShe wasn’t particularly tall, standing at about five-foot-ten, nor was his build muscular. He usually only earned eight work points a day, so they didn’t take him seriously at all.
"We’re all brothers here. We’ll try to go easy on you in a bit."
Chen JianShe: "..."
He still couldn’t understand how things had escalated to this point.
He mulled it over for a moment, and then it dawned on him.
"How are you so good at fighting?"
He clutched his chest, which still ached from a kick Chen JianShe had landed.
Chen JianShe puffed out his chest with pride.
"This is nothing. Brother Leng is the one who’s really amazing. I wouldn’t last three moves against him."
After he said that, he felt his words hadn’t stung enough.
"You guys shouldn’t be so jealous all the time. My Brother Leng is not someone you can compare yourselves to. A man’s got to know his limitations."
The four men: "..."
’What are we supposed to do when our fists are itching for a fight again?’
But Chen JianShe didn’t shut his mouth.
"My Brother Leng is the kind of guy who can solo a wild boar. You lot? You aren’t even as tough as a boar. If you went up against him, you’d just get soloed yourselves."
The four men: ’...Why does that actually sound kind of reasonable?’
Pah!
’No, wait. It’s not like we wanted to go up against Leng Yuan. We were just teaching his little follower a lesson!’
’We just never expected Chen JianShe to be this tough, too!’
