"Hurry up, I'm starving!"

"Qingnuan, don't worry, it'll be ready soon. The longer this rice is cooked, the more fragrant it will be."

This is a typical day for Xiong Bufan and the Cui family mother and son. As always, Cui Di is diligent, either feeding the chickens, looking for eggs, or feeding the family's old ox.

Cui Di excitedly ran back from outside, "Mom, Uncle Wu hunted a wild boar and is distributing the meat to everyone. Let's go take a look!"

Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, Xiong Bufan quickly got up from his chair and headed towards the door, reminding Liu Jianping, "Hurry up and cook."

Liu Jianping, with a shovel tied to one hand and a knife to the other, said, "Understood."

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Xiong Bufan swaggered out with Cui Di. Liu Jianping, seeing Xiong Bufan walk away, spat on the ground, went back inside to find something to sprinkle in the pot, and continued cooking.

Xiong Bufan joined in the fun. The wild boar weighed several dozen pounds. Cui Dahai stepped on the wild boar's head and gestured to the crowd, "I was lucky today. I had just put the snare there and walked about a hundred steps when I heard this beast's cries. How could I let it get away?"

I ran over quickly and saw the beast struggling to break free from the snare. How could I let the prey escape? I grabbed the axe I was carrying…”

"You're really lucky. These wild animals did a lot of damage to crops in the fall."

"Yes, thanks to you."

……

Amid the praise, Cui Dahai blushed. Seeing that it was getting late and the pig hadn't been dealt with yet, he started to boil water and pluck the hair from the wild boar.

Cui Di's family had cured pork, but it couldn't compare to wild boar meat, and he was already drooling.

Xiong Bufan looked at Cui Di's expression and asked, "Want to eat?"

Cui Di nodded and then shook her head. Cui Dahai had never bullied them before, and Cui Di didn't want Xiong Bufan to rob Cui Dahai, as that would be too shameful. "I don't want to eat, I just think Uncle Wu is amazing."

Hunting a wild boar is impressive; that's "impressive."

After Cui Dahai gave a piece of pork to the village chief's family, those who were on good terms with him or helped him would get some offal. The others could only look on with envy. Seeing Xiong Bufan and Cui Di staring longingly at him, he cut a piece of meat from the pig's hind leg and said, "Take this back and stir-fry it for the kids."

Cui Dahai didn't believe a word they said about Xiong Bufan hitting Cui Daqiang and even kicking Cui Tai's testicles. He thought she was a vegetarian woman who would chant "Amitabha" while he was hunting. She was an extremely gentle woman, unlike the other women in the village.

If Kongkong knew what Cui Dahai was thinking, she would definitely chuckle. Xiong Bufan is not An Qingnuan.

Cui Di took the meat and said, "Thank you, Fifth Uncle."

Xiong Bufan looked at the small piece of meat and said, "I will repay you."

Cui Dahai quickly waved his hand and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. Go back and feed it to the child. Brother Cui is also at the age where he needs to grow."

"it is good."

Xiong Bufan carried Cui Di, and Cui Di carried the piece of meat. The two walked back. The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them. In the warm light, Cui Di, whose hands were cold, snuggled closer to Xiong Bufan.

When he returned, Liu Jianping had already prepared the meal and put it on the table. "Brother, Qingnuan, you're back just in time. I just finished cooking."

The bowls on the table belonged only to Cui Di and Xiong Bufan; Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang's bowls were empty.

Xiong Bufan's face darkened when he saw the bowl. He hugged Cui Di tightly and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Liu Jianping looked at Xiong Bufan eagerly, "Let's eat, I specially put in a lot of meat."

Xiong Bufan didn't touch his chopsticks, and Liu Jianping was getting a little anxious. Cui Di tried to get out of his arms, but Xiong Bufan pressed her back down and turned to Liu Jianping, saying, "Are you really going to let me eat?"

Cui Daqiang hid behind the door, watching Xiong Bufan eat with eager anticipation.

Xiong Bufan scratched his head, wondering if he looked stupid. The food was obviously poisoned, but how could he let those people down?

Cui Di was placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and Xiong Bufan put on what he thought was a kind expression, "Kid, let's play hide-and-seek together, you go play first."

I'll come find you in a bit.

"it is good."

Seeing that Cui Di had hidden himself, Xiong Bufan instructed again, "No matter what noise you hear, don't look, or if I catch you, you'll be cooking for the rest of your life."

"it is good."

Kongkong: "Bufan, he put a sleeping potion in the food."

"I know, but it's not fatal. Otherwise, I would cripple them even if it meant losing my chance to become an immortal."

After Xiong Bufan finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the rice and stuffed it into Liu Jianping's mouth. Cui Daqiang saw that things were not going well and tried to run away, but he was also caught by Xiong Bufan. Liu Jianping was sat on by Xiong Bufan, and Cui Daqiang was pressed on the table by Xiong Bufan, with their faces buried in the rice bowl. Liu Jianping was crying and wailing, "Qingnuan, what are you doing?"

"If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it. Why treat us, mother and child, like this? You'll get your retribution!"

Cui Daqiang: "Waaah, let me go, you crazy woman!"

Xiong Bufan pressed Cui Daqiang down into the rice bowl again, saying, "You can't even shut your mouth while eating."

The dinner table was a mess. Xiong Bufan had a huge appetite, so Liu Jianping always cooked extra, fearing there wouldn't be enough medicine. All the food was laced with a sedative. Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang ate all the food, and their bellies were frighteningly large.

Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang passed out, whether from overeating or from the excessive dose of the drug, they were simply knocked unconscious. Xiong Bufan released them and turned to Cui Di, saying, "Kid, are you hidden well? I'm coming to find you."

"Mom, I'm hidden."

Xiong Bufan put down Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang and slowly walked out of the house.

Kongkong sighed. Xiong Bufan had become much gentler since coming to this world. He even knew to avoid hitting children now. In the previous world, Xiong Bufan had kicked Lin Lanxi, who was also a child, into the fire.

Xiong Bufan walked out of the bedroom, pretending to search everywhere. First he looked at the stove, then behind the door, and finally he said, "Kid, where have you gone? I really can't find you."

Cui Di quickly called out, "Mom, I'm here, I'm here."

Xiong Bufan followed the sound and found that Cui Di was hiding behind a pile of quilts in another bedroom. When she heard Xiong Bufan's footsteps, Cui Di covered herself with a cloth, but her little feet were still sticking out.

With this disguise technique, Xiong Bufan could have seen through it when he was a hundred years old, and now it's even easier for him. "Kid, I've got you."

"Wow, Mom is so smart."

Xiong Bufan looked at Cui Di with a surprised expression and asked Kong Kong, "Are you trying to fool me?"

"Be confident, she's just trying to comfort you."

Cui Di put on his shoes and got off the kang (a heated brick bed). "Mom, are you hungry? I'll go cook for you."

Don't be sad, I'll cook you the best meal in the world.

Xiong Bufan: "I'm not sad at all. Hurry up and cook, I'm hungry."

"it is good."

Because it was getting late, and Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang had wasted a lot of the previous food, Cui Di only boiled some eggs for dinner, planning to cook a proper meal tomorrow when he had more time.

The moon hung high in the sky. Xiong Bufan patted his bulging belly. "It feels so good to be full."

A voice came from outside the door, "Brother Cui, are you home? I'm coming in."

Who's outside the door?

Cui Di shook his head. "I don't know. Let's not open the door. It would be dangerous if it were a bad guy."

Kongkong: "Liu Jianping sold you and Cui Di out. The people outside are human traffickers..."

Upon hearing the word "sell," Xiong Bufan's mind was filled with thoughts of money coming to him. After all, you can only sell if you have something to sell. Xiong Bufan jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and ran to open the door.

The newcomers were a man and a woman. The man had a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and looked cunning and sly. The woman had a pair of slanted triangular eyes and looked sharp and mean. She didn't look like someone to mess with.

Seeing that the person who came was not Liu Jianping, the woman gave a fake smile, "Sister, where is Aunt Liu? I was discussing business with Aunt Liu."

Xiong Bufan patted his chest and said, "I'm her daughter-in-law. She said I'd be in charge of everything. Just tell me what you need to say."

The ugly woman in front of me was fierce and rude, and her nose was flat. She probably got beaten up for saying something rude. The woman said, "You should call Aunt Liu out, otherwise I won't do this business."

Even though he was already standing right in front of her, she still insisted on looking for Liu Jianping. Xiong Bufan could only run into the house quickly, drag Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang out, and throw them in front of the woman. "Here you go, how much for the people you want?"

The woman was stunned. "What?"

Xiong Bufan repeated, "How much? Don't you want to pay after you've seen it?"

They're not rare or exotic animals. Why should I pay them after just one glance? The woman thought about the other buyers waiting and said, "What's wrong with them?"

Xiong Bufan, with a straight face, spouted nonsense, "They were so excited because they knew you were coming that they fell asleep, so you need to pay them quickly." He even nodded seriously after saying that.

Seeing that Xiong Bufan was somewhat capable, the man grabbed the woman and tried to leave, saying, "We're not doing this business anymore, let's go."

The woman struggled a bit, "I'll leave if you want, but you have to make her return our fifty yuan deposit, otherwise this deal will be a complete loss."

"We can earn the deposit back, let's go."

Seeing that the man was so insistent, the woman also decided to leave.

Xiong Bufan felt like he'd been made a fool of. Cui Daqiang and Liu Jianping had met him, refused to pay, and now they wanted to leave. Did they think his strength was worthless? Xiong Bufan lifted Cui Daqiang off the ground and hurled him at the man and woman, yelling, "Did I say you could leave?"

The man and woman felt even more threatened and tried to run away, but Xiong Bufan kicked Liu Jianping, who flew out and knocked them both down again, pinning them to the ground.
