The air was filled with the savory aroma of meat.

  Wang Wen's change was also inexplicable to Haiyan, who was so happy that she forgot about the pain in her eyes.

  Seagull leaned her head on Wang Wen's shoulder: "I really didn't do that with Sanjun. The hunter was also hiding from the rain in the cave, think about it, how could three people do that?"

  "Yes, how can three people do that? Didn't the hunter say he met Sanjun at the Monkey Rock?" Wang Wen thought about it and began to regret his impulsiveness.

  "Sorry, I was too impulsive." Wang Wen's face turned ashen like a sea swallow.

  "It's not your fault, it's just that I didn't finish telling you the whole story. Wang Wen, from now on, you have to believe me. Although I may flirt with men, I would never let them take advantage of me. There's nothing going on between me and San Jun, you have to believe me, okay?"

  "Alright, alright, I believe you. Go to sleep!" Wang Wen said as he laid Haiyan down, kissed her forehead and went to sleep alone.

  Seagull resented Wang Wen for kissing her forehead. She had always disliked Wang Wen's gentlemanly behavior. In her heart, she complained about Wang Wen many times: What kind of gentleman are you? You only learn superficial things and make it hard for me to bear!

  Seagull couldn't sleep, thinking of Wang Wen's bravery just now, and sighed in her heart: You Wang Wen, it would be better if you didn't pretend to be so refined! Can this matter be pretended to be refined? Seagull asked herself again in her heart.

  No! What was that just now with Wang Wen? Was it because of the stimulation that caused him to erupt? Haiyan couldn't figure it out. The puzzled Haiyan stopped thinking about it, and only prayed in her heart: I hope from now on Wang Wen will no longer be so refined, I'd rather he become a rough and wild mountain man!

  The next day, San Jun was startled twice. Not once, but twice! The first time, he ran into Hai Yan and found that her eyes were swollen. He immediately thought of Wang Wen's anger. He wanted to ask Hai Yan, but there were people beside her. The second time, he ran into Wang Wen and found scratch marks on his face. A fight had broken out! That rascal Wang Wen was too cunning, he must have interrogated Hai Yan at night.

  Sanjun was startled for the second time, waiting for Wang Wen to come and question himself. He hadn't thought of a way to downplay what happened at Monkey Rock yet, when Wang Wen greeted him: "Sanjun, where are you going?"

  "Oh, just take a walk." The three armies found that although there were scratches on Wang Wen's face, he was smiling.

  "Was it just an unnecessary fright?" Sanjun thought.

  "Hehe, last night a stray cat ran into the house, I wanted to catch and eat the wild cat meat, but in the end, I was scratched by the wild cat!" Wang Wen said, pointing at the scratches on his face.

  "Oh." The three armies didn't know what to say.

  "The seagull helped with the chase and bumped into its own eye corner, fortunately without going blind. It seems that one can't be greedy for wild cats!" Wang Wen smiled and left.

  The three armies muttered in their hearts: "What does this Wang Wen mean? Hinting? Wild cat? Stealing that? Damn it, profound and mysterious words. Alright! You two hide and fight, don't expose it, give me face, I won't bother your wife from now on!"

  Sanjun thought so, and his heart finally relaxed, and the original fright really became a false alarm.

  In fact, Wang Wen's words were just an attempt to evade San Jun's questioning, and he didn't think that his words would be taken by San Jun as having a deeper meaning.

  The three armies on this side are guilty of theft.

  "San Jun, I finally see you! I went to your house looking for you, Shuixian said you came out to take a stroll." Niu Za suddenly appeared in front of San Jun.

  The three armies lifted their heads: "Niu Chui, what's going on?"

  "Great, great! Come on, let's go to Chief Wang's house for lunch! Dong Mao has already gone. Chief Wang asked me to find you to drink together, you're quick, go help wash the dishes. Let's go!" Niu Da pulled San Jun along.

  "I'll go back and tell Shuixian about it."

  "It's okay, I've already told Xian Sheng about it, don't worry!"

  "Oh, what's going on with Chief Zhai? Are we preparing red envelopes?"

  "No need. It was a hunter from our village who lives a few miles further up in the mountains, he shot a wild boar and sent its lower body to the village chief today."

  "Oh, it must have been caught the day before yesterday."

  "How did you know?"

  "I guessed it. If I had hit it yesterday, it wouldn't have been delivered so quickly, after all, they're selling wild boar meat."

  "Haha, I didn't expect you to be smarter than me! I asked the village chief if it was caught yesterday, and he said I'm a pig brain, saying that the hunter caught it yesterday. If we don't go sell the wild boar meat this morning, my whole family won't have dinner? And they specifically sent it to me?"

  The three armies thought in their hearts: "I'm so clever! If I hadn't known it earlier, I would have guessed that we were defeated yesterday!"

  "It's really great in the mountain village, cool at night and low temperature in the cave during the day, no need for a refrigerator, meat can be stored for two days without going bad, if it were outside, the meat would go bad after just two days."

  "This is indeed it! The wild boar's lower body is fresh!"

  The two of them arrived at Wang's home while chatting.

  The village chief stood in front of the gate with his hands clasped behind him and looked out at the road.

  "Good General!" The three armies laughed and greeted.

  "I thought I invited you to eat good food, but none of you came? Let me tell you, I only invited the three of you!"

  "Zhai Wang is really good to us three people," San Jun said.

  "Go help with the dishes, Dong Mao is doing it inside!" Village King went into the house, lay on the chair, and watched TV with Xue Er.

  "I said I'd help out, but Dongmao said no need. So I ended up being in charge of cooking," Xue'er said.

  After a busy spell, the room was filled with the aroma of meat.

  Xue Er started pouring wine.

  After a while, several people sat down at the table.

  Xue Er said: "Zheng Shuang, you go drink with your brothers, I'll eat."

  "Alright, alright, I'll accompany them, you go eat, have some more wild boar meat. Usually I'm always eating out, and you're too lazy to cook the meat yourself, so have a bit more today." Village Chief said with a smile.

  "Don't mind me, take care of your brothers. You guys should eat and drink well today. Honestly, Zheng Shuang was going to invite my dad and mom over together, but I was afraid it would be restrictive for you with older people around, so I didn't invite them, just sent some braised pork head over." Xue Er's smile was very sweet.

  "Thank you! Thank you!" Several people hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

  "Don't be polite anymore." Zhai Wang raised his wine glass, "I'm telling you three brothers, today at my house drinking, you drink freely, I'll also drink freely. First, it won't delay work; second, if I get drunk, Xue'er will take care of me. You don't need to be considerate, come on, let's drink."

  The village chief said so, and everyone began to be less restrained, drinking freely with the village chief.

  The atmosphere of drinking is quite good, and everyone's words are no longer reserved.

  Everyone was drinking and chatting. Dong Mao asked Village King, "Village King, I have a question that has been stuck in my stomach for a long time, and I didn't dare ask you before. Can I ask today?"

  "Nonsense! What's wrong with asking questions? You tell me! Any question can be asked, including private matters between couples, as long as you ask!" said Village Chief generously.

  "He's having too much fun today and got a bit drunk." Xue Er said with a smile beside him.

  "Right, today I'll give it my all, and even if I get drunk, I'll be happy. Dongmao, what's the matter?"

  "About Xue Er's matter." Dong Mao still spoke in a probing tone.

  "Ask directly, nothing's wrong! How is Xue Er, speak!" Village King was very generous.

  "Dongcao, just say it. Zheng Shuang said nothing's wrong if nothing's wrong." Xue'er's smile on her face was still warm and radiant.

  "Nobody in the village understands, and neither do I. It's said that others have agreed to undergo electric shock treatment, so why did Xue'er still disfigure herself? This is indeed hard to understand!"

  "Haha, I've always been puzzled too. However, after reading a book about Fan Li the other day, I suddenly understood. Who is Fan Li? Do you know?"

  "I don't know," Dong Mao said.

  "Fan Li seems to be from the same dynasty as King Goujian of Yue." Sanjun said.

  "That's right! When King Goujian of Yue was in a difficult situation, Fan Li and Wen Zhong followed him with loyalty. Fan Li was intelligent and wise, he helped King Goujian to turn the tide and achieve success, and established his dominance. Fan Li was appointed as the highest military officer of the State of Yue. Now, guess what happened to Fan Li?"

  "What's wrong?" asked Dong Mao.

  Fan Li wanted to resign from all official positions and go into business. Fan Li was going to leave, King Goujian of Yue couldn't figure it out. He said to Fan Li, as long as you stay, I will divide the land with you and share it with you. If you want to leave, I will kill your wife and children. What would Fan Li do?

  "Stay and enjoy yourself! It's too dangerous if you leave!" interrupted Dong Mao.

  Fan Li did not stay, he took his family and secretly ran to the industrially developed Qi State, and settled down by the sea. When he left, he advised Wen Zhong to leave together, but Wen Zhong did not listen, and was eventually killed by the King of Yue.

  "Fan Li was truly clever and knew it would be difficult to protect himself after overthrowing the kingdom."

  "Why is it that after founding a dynasty, it's hard to maintain it?"

  "The King of Yue is afraid he will surpass him!" said the three armies.
