Chapter 92: The Troubles of a Parasite

  Who would hate a watchdog so much? The answer is very simple, it's those thieves.

  Actually, there are only two people who sneak into the farm to steal vegetables. They are Zhong Yuanhong and Wu Ming, whom Lao Zhou mentioned to Xiao Ping last time. These two are relatives of Village Chief Zhong Shengli, with Zhong Yuanhong being his nephew and Wu Ming being his grandson. For a period of time, they have been recklessly stealing vegetables from the farm.

  Ever since the farm raised dogs, those thieves Zhong Yuanchao and Wu Ming had a hard time. Black Panther and Yuanbao were both intelligent and ferocious, showing no mercy to the thieves. After several confrontations, the two thieves never dared to enter the farm again.

  The two big dogs in the farm were too scary, and the two of them had not suffered less from them. Once, Zhong Yuanxiong's pants were bitten through, and his thigh was also bitten to bleed; another time, Wu Ming was chased by the two dogs all the way, and finally jumped into the Xiao Zhou River to escape, but got a cold when he returned, and lay in bed for several days. For these two thieves, they would rather be discovered by the people in the farm than be chased by the two scary big dogs.

  However, for Zhong Yuexing and Wu Ming, everything on the farm was too attractive. The vegetables produced in the farm were very popular, even if they were stolen, they could be sold for more than 30 yuan per kilogram. In the past, the two men would get at least 50 kilograms of vegetables each time they "worked", which meant an income of several thousand yuan. But now this source of wealth was completely cut off, and it made Zhong Yuexing and Wu Ming hate the farm's two dogs to the bone.

  In fact, since learning that the farm had started raising dogs, the two of them had planned to get rid of them. For this purpose, Wu Ming even bought a crossbow and asked someone to bring back highly toxic cyanide to apply to the crossbow arrows, intending to shoot both dogs dead.

  But these two dogs were more cunning than the fox and more agile than the cat. The two men tried several times but were dodged by them, not even touching a dog hair. And every time they failed to shoot the dog, Zhong Yuexiong and Wu Ming would be chased out for several miles. Once, Wu Ming was accidentally scratched by his own poisonous crossbow bolt while running away, if it wasn't for Zhong Yuexiong's kindness in sending him to the hospital, Wu Ming would have been killed by his own poisoned crossbow.

  It seems that the assassination attempt won't work, so both of them came up with other plans. Zhong Yuanyou obtained highly toxic pesticides and stuffed them into meat buns to try to poison the two dogs on the farm. However, Hei Bao and Yuanbao were raised in the Lian Yao Hu, full of spiritual energy, how could they fall for such a simple trap? Every time they found meat buns with added ingredients, they would urinate on them with extreme disdain, making Zhong Yuanyou and Wu Ming, who were hiding not far away observing, furious to the point of almost dying.

  The two had no other choice, so they could only use their trump card - deciding to engage in a head-on battle with the two dogs on the farm. They wanted to engage in a head-on battle, so they went to ask for Zhong Yuanlong's help, because Zhong Yuanlong also had two very ferocious Tibetan mastiffs.

  Zhong Yuanlong usually loves to raise dogs, and the more fierce the dog is, the better. In recent years, Tibetan Mastiffs have been hyped up by people, and he also spent over 300,000 yuan to buy two. Although from the market price outside, a Tibetan Mastiff worth tens of thousands of yuan can only be considered mid-range, but in a place like Xiaozhou Village, these two Tibetan Mastiffs are also considered dog kings.

  Zhong Yuanlong spent a large sum of money to buy Tibetan Mastiffs, not only because he likes fierce big dogs, but more importantly, he wants to make money from them. He often takes the Tibetan Mastiffs to nearby villages to fight dogs and has made a lot of money from it. Apart from using the Tibetan Mastiffs for dog fighting, Zhong Yuanlong's other great hobby is taking two Tibetan Mastiffs on a rampage through the village, scaring people for fun. The two vicious dogs would often scare children into crying and old people into falling over, but Zhong Yuanlong feels proud of it.

  Tibetan Mastiffs were originally very difficult to domesticate, and under Zhong Yuandong's indulgence, they became extremely ferocious. There have been several times when the Tibetan Mastiffs bit people, but Zhong Yuandong relied on his father's power in the village to suppress these incidents. The villagers who were bitten not only did not receive any compensation, but also suffered intimidation from Zhong Yuandong and his cohorts.

  Time passed and Zhong Yuanlong felt that his two Tibetan Mastiffs were undisputed dog kings, and other dogs were not their match. So when Zhong Yuangong and Wu Ming came to find Zhong Yuanlong, saying that the farm had two dogs that were both ferocious and intelligent, seemingly even more fierce than his Tibetan Mastiffs, Zhong Yuanlong immediately became displeased, proactively suggesting a fight between his Tibetan Mastiffs and the farm's dogs.

  That evening, Xiao Ping took a walk around the farm with Hei Bao and Yuan Bao after dinner, as usual. For Xiao Ping and his two dogs, this was also a great opportunity to deepen their bond. Especially for dogs like Hei Bao and Yuan Bao that were full of spirituality, it was even more necessary to do so.

  Xiao Ping, accompanied by Hei Bao and Yuan Bao, had patrolled more than half of the farm and arrived at the cement road in front of the main gate. Zhong Yuandong, who had been waiting nearby, saw them and immediately brought Zhong Yuanxiong and Wu Ming to block Xiao Ping's path.

  Xiao Ping didn't recognize Zhong Yuanlong, but he knew that Zhong Yuanxiong and Wu Ming were the thieves who had been stealing things recently. He just couldn't catch them in the act, so he let them off with a warning. Today, these two thieves appeared brazenly, clearly not good people. However, Xiao Ping wasn't afraid of them, he just stopped in his tracks and coldly stared at the three people in front of him.

  The black leopard and Yuanbao also sensed the tense atmosphere, they silently crouched at Xiao Ping's feet. They looked very calm, but their muscles were already taut, if these three people made any threatening moves towards their master, the black leopard and Yuanbao would pounce on them without hesitation and bite their throats off.

  Zhong Yuanlong first took a look at the two dogs, feeling that their individual heads were far inferior to those of Tibetan Mastiffs, and they didn't seem very fierce either. He immediately put his mind at ease, raised his head and said to Xiao Ping: "My name is Zhong Yuanlong, and my father is Zhong Shengli!"

  He knew that this arrogant-looking guy was Zhong Yuancheng, and Xiao Ping couldn't help but frown. Usually, he had heard the farm workers mention this village chief's son many times, knowing that he was a thoroughly despicable person who had done many bad things in Xiaozhou Village. Xiao Ping didn't want to have anything to do with such a guy, so he asked coldly: "What do you want from me?"

  Zhong Yuanlong thought that Xiao Ping would know his identity and welcome him with a smile, but he didn't expect him to be so cold. He was already slightly displeased in his heart. However, Zhong Yuanlong didn't show it, and instead sneered: "I heard your two dogs are quite fierce, how about we have a couple of matches?"

  "Not interested." Xiao Ping bluntly rejected Zhong Yuanlong's request. He wasn't that he didn't have confidence in Black Leopard and Yuanbao, but rather felt that it shouldn't be for entertainment to let his beloved dogs fight with other dogs, which was too cruel for Black Leopard and Yuanbao.

  Xiao Ping didn't respond, so Zhong Yuanlong immediately said loudly: "We're going to bet on the outcome! If you win, you'll get 10,000, but if you lose, you only have to pay me 5,000. How about it?"

  This time, Xiao Ping completely ignored Zhong Yuanlong and took Hei Bao and Yuan Bao back. The current Xiao Ping is no longer the poor boy who used to calculate every few tens of dollars. Zhong Yuanlong thought that using tens of thousands of dollars could move him, which was simply a fantasy.

  Xiao Ping's attitude made Zhong Yuanlong extremely angry, and he suddenly shouted behind him: "If you don't agree, I'll bring two dogs to guard the farm gate every day. Who dares to come in and out after that?"

  Zhong Yuanlong's words took effect, and Xiao Ping turned around to look at him for a while before finally agreeing: "Alright, tomorrow afternoon at 10 o'clock, I'll be waiting for you here!"
