Chapter 84

  "Big brother, have you heard?"

  Flying Tiger Fort, Gao Feibao asked.

  "I'm still not listening to you." Gaofei Hu gave his younger brother a helpless glance.

  "Really? Do you think it's true?" Gaofei asked immediately.

  Gao Fei Hu fell silent, the news had spread far and wide, now he knew a thing or two. The yield of one mu of chili peppers was tens of times that of other crops, it was unbelievable just thinking about it, so subconsciously he thought it was fake.

  What if...

  If it's really true, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for days afterwards. Why... it hurts so much.

  "How can this be true...... The Toad Village actually has some tricks up their sleeve, haha..."

  "What about Wan Yi..."

  "Hmm... what if, there are so many what ifs, saying it's impossible makes it impossible."

  "Maybe..." Seeing the big brother's expression was not good, Gaofei didn't continue speaking. He suddenly said: "Big brother, our mountain village also has several hundred kilograms of chili peppers. Why don't I take them to have a look? If it's real, then there's no need to say anything. If it's fake, I'll make sure to give the Frog Village a good show."

  Fei Hu's village also grew some chili peppers, but not many, just a few in the front and back of the house, about 400-500 catties after harvesting. They used some for daily meals, and I have to say, they tasted very good. But if you said that one catty of chili peppers could be exchanged for one catty of grain, Fei Hu wouldn't believe it.

  "You're willing to go, then just go. Once you've gone, you'll be resigned to your fate. I told you not to plant it before, but you didn't listen. This time, you'll know why big brother is big brother."

  Gao Fei Bao put on a horse cart, loaded chili peppers into burlap sacks, called several mountain brothers, and went all the way to Ha Ma Village.

  The distance was not far, and soon they arrived. They saw that there were still a few people under the Hamao Ridge, all of whom were from other mountain strongholds gathering here to gather information.

  As soon as Gao Fei Bao came over with this attitude, someone immediately stood up and said: "Gao Er Ye, what are you doing... I remember it was you who didn't let us plant them in the first place, but now you're secretly taking them back to plant yourself."

  "What nonsense! Why should I plant, I just want to expose them. Now I've brought the chili peppers, if they can't exchange for food, let's see what the Toad Village has to say."

  "Awesome, Second Master!" Someone gave a thumbs up.

  "It's just so-so anyway." Gaofei waved his hand and said, "Alright, you guys come with me to the mountain, and let's see how Cheng Dalai gets off stage later."

  "Let's go, everyone will accompany Second Master together."

  "Go, let's go together!"

  A group of over a dozen people accompanied Gao Fei Bao up the mountain. This lineup gave Lin Shaoyu, who was guarding the mountain, a fright - what were they going to do? However, now that there are people in Hamao Village, even with just over a dozen men, nothing can be done. Moreover, on the mountainside outside of Hamao Village, apart from a small path leading up the mountain, everything else is a trap. If another hundred and eighty elite soldiers were to come, Hamao Village would not be able to block them as easily as before.

  Huang San Yuan received Gao Fei Bao and exchanged pleasantries before learning the purpose of his visit.

  "Huang Zongguan, we've come to exchange grain. You can't go back on your word." Gao Fei said with his head held high.

  "You're still the first one here." Huang San Yuan said, checking the chili peppers, suddenly stunned: "Gao Er Ye, these chili peppers haven't been stir-fried before?"

  "What's wrong if I haven't fried it? Do you want me to fry it for you?" Gaofei Bao raised his voice.

  This scene stunned Huang San Yuan, and he said: "Second Master, wait here for a moment, I'll go call the head of the household."

  Gao Fei Bao suddenly understood. He rushed to the people around him and said, "Everyone is not stupid, I think they all understand. The reason why the village can't produce grain is that they want to find excuses to shirk their responsibilities. My brother worked hard to grow chili peppers, but he wants to say that the chili peppers are small and the color is not good, these are all excuses."

  "Yes, indeed. If we had listened to the second master's words at the beginning, not only would our brothers' hard work have been in vain, but also several acres of land would have gone to waste."

  "Don't be in a hurry, wait for Cheng Da Lei to come, see what he has to say. If he doesn't give an explanation, I, Gao Fei Bao, won't let him off easily."

  "Don't worry, Qingniu Mountain has more than 50 villages and several thousand people who support you. This Cheng Dalai can't treat us like monkeys."

  Everyone was excited, but when Cheng Dawei arrived, they all calmed down and waited to see how he would step down.

  Cheng Dalai came over and checked the chili peppers, indeed they had not been stir-fried. To prevent the chili pepper seeds from flowing out, Huamao Village always dry-stir-fries them first; this matter, Feihu Village might still be unaware of.

  However, in the end, Cheng Dalai still waved his hand and said: "If others are not good enough, but since Second Master has already come, don't let him run a trip in vain. Anyway, it's not much trouble, our mountain stronghold is hard to work hard, just stir-fry some for him."

  "Yes." Huang San Yuan said: "Unload the goods and exchange them for food with Second Master."

  Gao Fei Bao was stunned and stuttered: "What did you say?"

  "Let's exchange food, we're all wheat for wheat, one catty of chili peppers for one catty of wheat, Second Master has no objection, right?"

  "Uh..." Gao Fei Bao suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, as if the eyes of everyone around him were on himself.

  Unload the car, cross the scale, and pull out the wheat. With many hands, these things didn't take much time. Gao Fei Bao pulled over 500 catties of chili peppers in total, and soon they were exchanged for wheat and loaded onto the car.

  "Go Flying Leopard!"

  A shrill voice rang out, and Gao Fei turned his head to see the person who had just called him "Second Master" now gritting his teeth.

  "At first you didn't let us plant it, but then you secretly went back and planted it yourself. Is this how the Flying Tiger Fortress does things?"

  Everyone stared at Gao Fei's leopard with fierce eyes, their eyes almost spitting fire.

  "What's going on!" Gaofei豹 wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Didn't you hear what he said just now? Others won't do, it's just that our Flying Tiger Fort has a big face, he doesn't dare to owe us, and we have less of our own kind. He took a few hundred kilograms of grain to shut our mouths, would you others be okay with that?"

  Everyone's eyes are uncertain, and for now, they can't be sure about this matter. As Gao Fei said, it's not necessarily impossible.

  At this time, another group of people climbed up the mountain. Before seeing anyone, a fragrant breeze blew in their faces, and the sweet sounds of birds chirping began to ring out.

  The whole Qingniu Mountain was crowded with people, and it was also the case on Xinghua Ridge. A group of women pulled carts up the mountain, but when they ran into these mountain bandits, they didn't show any shame, instead they exchanged jokes that were off-color.

  "Bai Dangjia has arrived, come quickly and help unload the goods, exchange grain for Bai Dangjia." Huang San Yuan shouted loudly.

  The entire Qingniu Mountain, the chili peppers grown on Apricot Flower Ridge are relatively more abundant, and the cooperation between the two parties is also relatively harmonious. The chili peppers have all been stir-fried once, fully meeting the standards.

  Gao Fei's face was covered in sweat again, and he could only feel a murderous aura surrounding him.

  "Haughty leopard, what's this? Even Apricot Flower Ridge has some face, their chili peppers are fewer!"
