No one but himself knew why he went to Wang Yao’s house with such an attitude .
In fact, just today, he also went to the town government . He was just a little later than Wang Yao, but he did not go in . From the outside, he saw that there were higher-up leaders inside and saw the friendly conversation between Secretary Yang and Wang Yao .
He was 47 years old this year . He was a soldier for 12 years and a party secretary of the county for eight years .
He was very clear of some things .
A Municipal Party Secretary would not talk to a young person like that without any purpose . The attitude was too kind, moreover it was in public .
One possibility was the biggest . The young man who normally did not show off anything in the village and the Municipal Party Secretary, who had the highest discourse power in the city knew each other . Furthermore, they were very familiar with each other .
With such a strong backing, there was no need to be hesitant at all on how to handle some things .
Of course, he would not say these things .
After staying at home for a while, Wang Yao went out and walked towards Nanshan Hill . In the south side of the village, the courtyard was still barren, but the two hibiscus trees by the door were very luxuriant .
“They’re growing quite well . ”
Wang Yao carried two large boxes of medicine herbs up Nanshan Hill .
In the morning the next day, a notice was posted in the small mountain village . The abandoned houses and courtyard in the south side of the village were sold to Wang Yao at a price of 150 thousand . Of course, he was only sold the right to use them .
In an instant, there was a lot of discussion in the small mountain village .
“Damn, 150 thousand . It’s so expensive . The kid in Fenghua’s family is not silly, right?”
“You’re the one who’s silly . The price is already very cheap . Do you know how much the property in Lianshan County is now?”
“That’s Lianshan County, not our small mountain village . Who would come here from the city? All the young people in the village earn money to buy houses in the city . How many of them come back to stay?”
“Screw Wang Jianli, this bastard!”
This matter was nothing more than a topic to chat about after meals in the small mountain village and there was not much freshness . It would not take long for people to stop caring about this matter .
In the morning, Wang Yao came down from the mountain and stopped outside the huge courtyard .
“This place will be mine . ”
He went to the county committee to go through the formalities and the money was credited into the account this morning . It would take a while to obtain the land use permit, but Wang Jianli said that the houses were now his and he could handle it himself .
The houses were as if they collapsed . Obviously, the houses could not be lived in . Wang Yao had no plans to renovate, but he wanted to rebuild . Of course, he had to plan well before this .
He was not capable in this regard . After all, his profession did not match .
Both biology and medicine were poles apart from architecture .
However, the people he knew could do it, such as Tian Yuantu . He had one of the best construction teams in the whole Lianshan County . Designing a small courtyard and a few houses should not be a problem .
“I don’t know how his things are going in Jing City . ”
In the morning, Wang Mingbao came back from the county town and dropped in Wang Yao’s house .
“Has the matter of the land been settled?”
“It’s been settled . ”
“Okay . ”
Above Nanshan Hill, the body felt a bit lazy with the mountain wind blowing against it .
It was already June and the weather was hot .
A person came to Wang Yao’s herbal field .
“Are you there, Xiao Yao?”
He shouted at the herbal field but did not hear any reply . Wang Yao had already gone down the mountain . There would not be other people inside .
“He’s not in!”
The middle-aged man looked around . It was very quiet on the mountain and there were no other people . Wang Yao had already bought this mountain . There was no heaven and earth around . Moreover, this mountain originally had a lot of mountain stones and was not suitable for planting crops .
He took out something from his hand .
“Who told you to snatch the land from me!” A fierce look appeared in his eyes .
A fire started burning .
Ow . He suddenly heard a low howling sound .
“What’s that sound?” He lifted his head and saw a fury dog . The dog had a slightly bigger build, with his pair of eyes staring at him like a hungry wolf .
“Get lost!”
He took out a knife from his waist .
He held a lighter in one hand and a knife in the other . On the one hand, he wanted to set fire and on the other hand, he had to be wary of the dog which might fly at him anytime .
The mountain wind was a bit strong . The flame which just appeared on the lighter was quickly blown out .
“Fortunately, I’m prepared . ”
He still had some petrol with him .
Ow, a shadow sprung out from the herbal field behind the trees .
Ah! There was a scream .
Poof! A fire started burning .
Covering his arms by himself, he bolted down from the mountain . Behind him was a dog with blood on its mouth and abdomen . One was a human’s blood, another was a blood wound at the abdomen which was stabbed, with fresh blood running .
Ga, a hawk whistled in the sky .
Then, a goshawk descended from the sky, fiercely clawing on the shoulders of the person running with its pair of iron claws . The sharp claws pierced through his blood and flesh, directly breaking open a few blood wounds on his shoulder .
Ouch! The man screamed in pain and beat wildly, trying to get rid of the raptors that suddenly attacked from the sky . However, in return, he had a body full of wounds . A blood wound was also pecked open by the goshawk on his head .
Go away!
At this time, people who came down from the mountain saw the situation and rushed forward, using the hoe in their hands to chase the goshawk and dog away .
Ow!
The dog still made an angry, low growling sound . At this time, it was really like a wolf . Even if it was deeply hurt, it wanted to kill the invader . The goshawk was still hovering in the sky .
On Nanshan Hill, the fire was escalating . However, when it was near the outer side of the woods, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier . All of a sudden, it did not move forward, but was spreading to both sides .
Oh no, the mountain was on fire!
Mountain fire was a terrible thing, because once it burned, it could likely burn the entire mountain .
“That’s Nanshan Hill!”
“The mountain that Wang Yao bought!”
There were just that many people in the village who were regularly met . Among them, no matter who had a problem, they would still help out most of the time . Hence, someone made a phone call to Wang Yao’s house . The people nearby on the mountain began to rush up towards Nanshan Hill .
“What? The mountain is on fire?”
After hearing the news, Wang Yao suddenly darted out and rushed towards Nanshan Hill with his fastest speed, just like a leopard .
Nanshan Hill was in sight from far away . There was indeed a flare on the mountain .
The herbal field!
Anxious, he sped up more .
Neixi flowed like Dajiang heading east . A step became a few meters in an instant . The mountain stones were broken into pieces on where the ground was stepped on .
From his home to the mountain, he did not stop . When he reached the mountain, he saw the flames that were being controlled, a few busy people and the dog which fur had been burnt and had bloodstains on its body .
Thank goodness!
His anxious heart was relieved . The mountain fire was blocked outside the formation .
Wang Yao immediately pulled out a water pipe from the hut . There was a water pump by the barrage not far away . He used it to cultivate the herbal field previously . He had not used it for quite some time but fortunately, it was still considered useful . The water was pumped up and the mountain fire was put out quickly .
“Xiao Yao, did the fire burn anything?” This time, Wang Fengming was the one who took the lead to come up to the mountain to combat the fire instead .
“No worries, it had not burned the inside . Thank you . ” Wang Yao expressed his gratitude towards these elders .
“Well, we’re from the same village . There’s no need to thank . ”
A few people went down the mountain and Wang Fengming stayed .
“Uncle Fengming, do you have something to say?” Wang Yao leaned down his body and examined the dog’s body while talking . He discovered that the dog had a blood wound in its abdomen . Fortunately, it was not very deep . The blood was still flowing . He was only relieved after making sure that the dog’s life was not in danger .
“Xiao Yao, someone set this mountain on fire . ”
“Who’s the one committing arson?!” Wang Yao squinted his eyes .
“When I came up the mountain, I saw a person who was covered in blood went down the mountain . He looked like he was bitten by the dog . ”
Oh?
“Why did I not see him if he went down the mountain?” Wang Yao was taken aback by a little after listening .
“Uncle, have you seen who it is?”
“I did not see clearly too, but it looked like Wang Jianye to me . ” Wang Fengming said, “You have to be careful . ”
“I know very well, Uncle . ”
Wang Fengming went down the mountain as well after saying a few more words .
“Wang Jianye . Could it be that he hates me because of the matter of the houses and the small courtyard, and then set the mountain on fire?”
