Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2004: Chapter 2004: Could That Excuse Be Any More Fake?

After receiving the red crystals, Auntie Wang and the others finally shifted their gaze from Ye Haochuan to the White Tiger.

”It’s a shame, your Uncle Wang hurt his bones while working a few days ago. Can I have these tiger bones to nourish him?” Auntie Wang was the first to speak.

Before the big man could respond, the others hurriedly chimed in.

”Your Eldest Uncle Zhu has been wanting to taste tiger meat for a long time. I’ll take half a slab of tiger meat to satisfy his cravings...”

”Your Auntie Zhang, my health hasn’t been too good lately; I need the tiger heart and liver to replenish...”

”Your Uncle Li is becoming less capable these days; I’ll take the tiger whip to help him...”

”...”

The group of women continued to chatter away, dividing up the entire giant tiger down to the bones, leaving the big man with nothing.

Ye Haochuan finally realized that this bunch was not here to welcome the big man; they clearly came to divide his spoils of war.

Talking about replenishing and satisfying cravings, each person carried away dozens of pounds of tiger meat and organs, enough to make them sick of it. Meanwhile, the big man, who actually hunted the tiger, received nothing.

Ye Haochuan initially thought that the tiger skins drying outside each house in the village were probably hunted by the villagers. But now, it seemed these fearsome beasts’ hides were obviously coming from the big man’s efforts.

The big man didn’t seem to mind, giving a silly smile and saying, ”Let’s go, benefactor. My home is just ahead!”

Ye Haochuan slightly frowned; this big man was indeed very capable, but his brain? Not so much. Being taken advantage of like this, yet he seemed glad about it.

”You gave all the meat to your neighbors; what will you eat at home?” Ye Haochuan couldn’t hold back and asked.

”It’s just me at home; I can eat anything. Their needs are urgent; if I don’t give them something, wouldn’t they feel terrible?” the big man replied nonchalantly.

”My goodness, you really are adorably foolish!” Ye Haochuan said with some irritation.

These people don’t seem like they’re waiting for rice to cook; they are blatantly greedy!

”They all say I’m adorable. Did you notice too, benefactor?” The big man said with some ”bashfulness”.

Ye Haochuan was thoroughly convinced now; it’s fortunate this guy doesn’t have parents, or they’d be infuriated to death.

Soon, the two arrived at a shabby straw hut.

Although this small village wasn’t very affluent, all other homes were made of stone and tile, sturdy and warm. This shabby hut couldn’t even block the wind, worse than other families’ outhouses.

Ye Haochuan wasn’t surprised. Everything the big man earned was divided by the neighbors, so how could he have money to repair his house?

The villagers were all selfish, stuffing themselves without caring about the big man’s survival. Anyone with a shred of conscience wouldn’t ignore the big man’s predicament.

”It’s bad, all the meat has been given out. There’s nothing to serve the benefactor!” The big man suddenly realized, slapped his forehead, and said, ”Benefactor, wait here. I’ll go ask for some back!”

With that, he rushed out the door.

Ye Haochuan laughed bitterly in his heart; if he could get some back, that would be absurdly lucky.

Sure enough, within minutes, the big man returned dejectedly, saying, ”I was too late; they have already eaten all the meat. Looks like we’ll have to settle for some sweet potatoes, benefactor!”

Darn, a household eating dozens of pounds of tiger meat in ten minutes? Could that excuse be any more fake?

Ye Haochuan cursed silently in his heart.

He had guessed these people wouldn’t cough up what they had eaten, but didn’t expect even their excuse to be so shameless. Only someone like the big man would believe it.

”Forget it, I have food!” Ye Haochuan chuckled bitterly, taking out his own provisions.

Seeing the beef jerky in Ye Haochuan’s hand, the big man’s eyes glowed green, swallowing hard as he said, ”Can I really eat this? I haven’t tasted meat in ages!”

”Eat as much as you want!”

Before Ye Haochuan could finish speaking, the big man stuffed a handful of beef jerky into his mouth, happily chewing away.

Watching him like this, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt somewhat moved.

They say humans are inherently good. Kindness and innocence aren’t wrong; it’s the evil and greed surrounding them that leads to bullying against kind-hearted individuals.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into Ye Haochuan’s mind.

This big man, living here, being bullied everywhere, might be better off following him.

As soon as this idea emerged, it boiled over in Ye Haochuan’s mind.

It wasn’t just about sympathy; he had his own agenda too. The big man’s fighting prowess was formidable; if properly utilized, he could be a powerful ally.

Currently, Ye Haochuan himself was lacking strength. With such an assistant, his ventures in the Immortal Realm would certainly be easier.

”Um... Brother, how do you feel about your current life?” Confirming his idea, Ye Haochuan tentatively asked.

”It’s okay; just a bit boring!” The big man replied without hesitation, ”Every day, I just wander in the mountains. If I go too far, I’m afraid I won’t find my way back.”

”Do you want to go out and see more of the world?”

”I do! Of course, I do. Benefactor, are you willing to take me along to explore?” The big man, perhaps his mind unexpectedly clicked, actually learned to reply with a question.

Ye Haochuan chuckled, thinking it might be difficult to recruit the big man, but it turned out to be so easy, it was as if heaven was assisting him.

Seeing Ye Haochuan agreeing, the big man jumped with joy.

”I must go share this good news with Auntie Wang and the others to make them happy too!”

Leaving that sentence behind, the big man ran out of the house.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile; how could those people be happy? They’re likely feeling the urge to cry!

Indeed, within moments, a group of angry men and women ran over, cursing at Ye Haochuan: ”You bastard, I knew you were up to no good. How dare you trick Yi Bi into leaving with you? Tell us, what’s your real intention?”

”What could it be? You’re trying to trick Yi Bi to sell him off, aren’t you? Scum like you should be beaten to death with sticks!” Auntie Wang yelled angrily, not waiting for Ye Haochuan’s reply.

”Exactly, it’s just that Yi Bi is foolish, thinking it’s a good thing, counting money even after being sold!”

”This wretched heart of his is utterly vile, even tricking an innocent child like Yi Bi...”

”Sisters, what’s the point of saying so much? Grab your stuff and beat this bastard to death right here, so he can’t go out and harm others!”

It’s unclear who suggested this, but everyone agreed, promptly pulling out their weapons.

This time, it wasn’t just a few aunties, but nearly ten robust men as well, each possessing Nascent Soul mid to late stage cultivation. The village’s only Nascent Soul Peak individual was also among them.
