A few days ago, Luo Tong and the old merchant even tried to get him to deal with Song Xiaozhu.
It's only been a few days! Forget about cleaning up, all he wants to do is kneel down and cry out, "Grandma, please come back!"
The thought of the old businessmen made Chen San feel irritated.
That clueless idiot almost dragged him into a deep pit. Thinking of tomorrow's daunting task, he flew into a rage. "Go keep an eye on the old merchants! If they do anything illegal, lock them up immediately!"
As luck would have it, the old business owner really is courting disaster.
Unable to find Song Xiaozhu, they resorted to kidnapping another sixteen-year-old girl, determined to give her to their runaway son so he wouldn't be lonely on his journey.
Chen San's men caught them red-handed and used this opportunity to arrest all the old merchants.
This undoubtedly became one of Chen San's "talking points." When he met Song Xiaozhu, he would definitely tell her to rest assured that this disgusting old merchant had been brought to justice and would never come out to harm people again.
Chen San arrived at Liu Family Village full of confidence, this time with Old Chen...
He wasn't afraid of being turned away, especially since it was Song Xiaozhu herself who proposed signing a contract with them for bows and arrows.
Chen San brought so many steel knives to show Song Xiaozhu that compared to the desolate Liu Family Village, the community far surpassed them in terms of financial resources, manpower, and materials.
In the limited imaginations of Old Madam Hu and Chen San, Song Xiaozhu could only make ranged weapons like bows and arrows—even a " Weapon Master " has strong limitations at the low level and cannot make everything.
It's actually quite difficult to arm a strong army with just bows and arrows. You still need melee units to charge into battle so that the archers have a chance to fire their arrows.
Even if Song Xiaozhu armed the entire Liu Family Village, they would still be "incomplete" and not fully functional.
Chen San was confident that he had considered everything carefully and that his trip would be foolproof, until he entered Liu Family Village and walked onto this unfamiliar rocky road.
The villagers of Liu Family Village all went out early; some stood at their doorsteps, some gathered in their courtyards, and some even peeked out from the second floor...
Chen San had imagined being surrounded by onlookers, and even had the transport team tear down the shed, exposing the large number of steel knives in the cargo boxes, all to tempt the poor folks of Liu Family Village.
What he never expected was that the villagers weren't watching him, but... but... were taking away large knives?
Early in the morning, Liu Xuangang distributed the first-class weapons to the Guard Team. Everyone was in high spirits and was about to go to the training ground to test their swords when Liu Xuangang instructed, "Don't rush, go and get the work done first."
The Guard Team were eager to fight. "Village chief, we'll go wherever you point!"
Liu Xuangang slapped each of the hot-blooded young men before saying, "Screw you, go distribute steel knives door to door."
The young men. "... Huh?"
Then they saw even more steel knives!
The handfuls of leaves gleamed silver in the morning light, bringing a chilling atmosphere to this late summer.
And so, this is what Chen San saw.
Every villager in Liu Family Village had a large steel knife, even the seven- or eight-year-old girl had one.
What's going on?
Where did they get so many steel knives?!
Chen San, who had expected to be welcomed with open arms and envied by the entire village, now felt his legs go weak.
Occasionally, villagers would cast their glances, and the reflection of the steel blade somehow gave off an air of "sharpening a knife."
The subordinate standing next to Chen San asked in a low voice, "Third Master... what's going on?"
Chen San kept a straight face and remained silent.
The subordinate then said, "Where did they get so many steel knives? And judging by the quality..."
Chen San's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. "Shut up!"
His mind worked incredibly fast; he had already figured it out.
Both he and the district head underestimated Song Xiaozhu. She could not only make bows and arrows, but also steel knives, and in such large quantities!
This isn't a low-level " Weapon Master," this is clearly mid... high level!
How could this be so outrageous!
Who exactly is Song Xiaozhu?!
Could he be a big shot from the city, traveling incognito to gain experience?
Thinking of this, Chen San felt a chill run down his spine and became even more cautious as he walked.
He even felt that his trip was likely to end badly.
They're still talking about cooperation...
Song Xiaozhu would never have looked down on their meager possessions.
If she were truly a big shot in the city, she could easily crush the entire community with a wave of her hand.
Along the way, Chen San saw not only steel knives, but also tools casually left outside every household: axes, pickaxes, hoes... you name it.
It wasn't just tools and weapons, but also the aroma of food wafting from every household.
It's breakfast time right now, and the villagers of Liu Family Village are each holding a bowl of... what looks like white rice porridge?
Where did they get their polished rice?!
Chen San swallowed hard and ordered, "Keep the greenhouse covered!"
The subordinates dared not ask any more questions and quickly tore open the tarpaulin on the truck, covering the entire load of "supplies" completely.
In contrast to Chen San's ashen face, the Old Chen family was beaming with joy.
Chen San caught a glimpse of it and was filled with rage.
But he dared not cause trouble at this moment. He had originally wanted to argue with them, but now he just wanted to send the Old Chen back home safely. He hoped that Song Xiaozhu would forgive his petty mistake and let him return to the community.
As for the bow and arrow orders...
You're overthinking it. Song Xiaozhu doesn't need such a small business.
He had to hurry back and report to the district head to see if she could find out what the people in the city thought, and what Song Xiaozhu's true identity was.
Upon arriving at the " Taobao Shop," Tian Man, Luo Liuzi, and the others immediately recognized him and politely greeted him, "Third Master, this way please."
Chen San was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Back in the Scavenger Community, Tian Man and Luo Liuzi were hardly worthy of speaking to him, but now...
Chen San smiled broadly, "I don't deserve it, just call me Chen San."
He walked into the store and saw the room full of goods, and his heart felt as if it were being pierced by needles.
