Chapter 241: Unforgivable By Principle, I Am Kind By Blood

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

People tend to act on impulse when they are emotionally unstable. After acting impulsively, they regret easily after they calm down.

Just like Wang Jianye now.

His act on Nanshan Hill just now was completely like a fire rushing into his brain, making him lose his rationality. The land was still the cause of the problem. The notice had been posted. The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. He felt that Wang Jianli was good for nothing. He had already made a promise previously, but he actually went back on his promise; he felt that the neighbors’ gazes were not right. They seemed to be mocking him. This made him who was always eager to excel very pissed. With his wife saying some harsh words, he immediately slapped her. Who would thought that a wife who normally did not dare to even fart would quarrel with him, scolding him that he had no abilities while crying. In a pet, she immediately went back to her maiden home, and this made him even more furious.

“Wang Yao, you snatched my land, then I’ll burn your Nanshan Hill!”

He immediately filled a bottle with petrol and brought a lighter up the mountain. Coincidentally, Wang Yao was not on the mountain at that time, but the dog and the hawk made him suffer instead.

He began to regret when he was being bandaged at the hospital.

He did not know if the fire burned successfully. However, he was injured. A large piece of flesh was torn off from his wrist and thigh. The bones were hurt on his shoulders, which had four big blood wounds. A hole was pecked open on his head and blood was severely lost.

The doctor said that if he came slightly later, his life might even be threatened.

To strive for vindication, he almost lost his life. If the fire really burned, he would then be charged with another crime. Arson could sentence him to jail.

So he regretted and he was scared.

He was just an ordinary person after all, not the kind of villain and ruthless people who committed murder and arson.

However, there was no medicine for regretting in the world.

On Nanshan Hill, Wang Yao applied the medicine for metal-inflicted wound on the dog. After the medicine had been applied, the dog quietly lied in the kennel. It looked a little dejected and apathetic, completely losing its ferocity like a wolf a while ago. It was wounded by a knife and lost quite some blood.

“Good job, San Xian.” Wang Yao gently stroked the dog’s head.

“Have a good rest. I’ll make you something delicious later.”

He got up and went to the outside of the herbal field. A large area of land in front of him was already burned black. It was not a small area and it surrounded the herbal field. It was glossy and green on this side, but the other side was burnt to the ground. He still had some fears after the incident. If the fire really burned, then it would all be over for the herbal field and the woods.

Fortunately, the formation was really magical. Not only could it create magic, gather spirit, but it also had a certain defense purpose.

“Wang Jianye!” Wang Yao had an icy look in his eyes.

This was the first time that he had suffered such a major violation since he started planting medicine herbs on Nanshan Hill. It was no different from directly burning his house.

“Are you okay?” His parents rushed over as well. Looking at the blackened surface outside, their hearts jolted.

“I’m okay,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

How could he let his parents worry about his own matters?

After staying on the mountain for a while, making sure that there was not an open fire and that it would not re-ignite, Wang Yao suggested, “Let’s go down the mountain.”

The dog wanted to get up but it was stopped by Wang Yao’s gesture.

“Stay here and recover well.”

“Daxia, take care of it for a bit.”

Ga. There was a hoot.

The goshawk stood on the treetop, like a loyal guardian.

After going down the mountain, Wang Yao simply ate something and went out to buy some beef and chicken. He left some of them at home and took some up the mountain.

There was a steel pot on the mountain. It was the most fragrant to cook meat using a cauldron!

The water was mountain spring water, mixed with some ancient spring water. After the meat was washed, it was thrown into the pot immediately, along with a few pieces of beef bones. A few flavors of Chinese medicine were added. Some firewood were filled and it heated the pot strongly. After a while, the meat flavor drifted out.

In the brigade house of the mountain village, several county committees gathered together, silently smoking. Their faces did not look good.

There is nothing like an absolute secret in the world. The mountain village was just that big. When such a huge thing happened, a few of them received the news within a shorter period of time. Wang Jianli then gathered a few people at the fastest speed to discuss the matter. It was a vicious incident that was needed to be reported to the higher-ups.

“Damn! Is Wang Jianye crazy?”

“Thankfully, the mountain fire did not kindle and injure people.”

“Where’s Wang Jianye?”

“He’s still at the hospital. He himself was injured quite severely and almost lost his life.”

“Serves him right!” Wang Jiangang said furiously while throwing the cigarette butt in his hand onto the ground.

“Isn’t it just a piece of land? Was that necessary?”

“He’s either a fool or a madman for committing arson in broad daylight!”

“Well, don’t say things in anger anymore. Think about how we’re going to report this matter to town.” Wang Jianli stopped the meaningless grumbles.

If this matter happened on someone else, it would be somewhat better, but it happened to be Wang Yao. Who did not know that he and the mayor’s son were very close like real brothers? Even if Wang Yao relented, would the mayor’s son disregard the matter? More crucially, there was now a greater Buddha behind Wang Yao.

“I think we still need to ask for Wang Yao’s opinion on this matter,” the village director said.

“Okay. If he relents, it would be easier to solve the issue.”

The locals were from the same village. Even if they were angry, they did not want to do things the harsh way. After all, they still had to see each other in the future. If Wang Jianye was to be put into prison for a few years, half of his life would basically be ruined.

“Jianye, are you going to ask him then?”

“Okay.”

There were cool breezes on the mountain.

Wang Yao sat outside the hut, with a big plate of beef, which had some fine smoke on the wooden table in front of him, while holding a cup of tea in his hands. The dog lied beside him. The rice bowl in front of it was full of beef and its juice, which was very aromatic.

“How’s the taste?”

The dog chowed down the food, not even lifting its head.

“Haha.” Wang Yao laughed.

Woof woof. The dog lifted its head and barked twice.

“Is someone here?”

Wang Mingbao stood outside, looking at the blackened surface. His face was very gloomy.

“It’s so fragrant. Is there something delicious to eat?” Wang Mingbao asked as he came in.

“It’s beef. Taste it,” Wang Yao said while pointing at the beef in the plate.

Wang Mingbao walked up to the front. He tore a big piece, dipped it with some salt and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Umm, it’s delicious!” His eyes lit up. The beef was indeed savory.

“I added some special medicine herbs in it.”

“How do you want to handle Wang Jianye?” Wang Mingbao asked while wiping his hands.

In his impression, the village had not had such a vicious incident in the past decade.

“An appropriately lighter punishment.”

“Lighter? Why?” Wang Mingbao was dumbfounded.

“He spotted the land earlier. I can understand that he was not content. However, he must be punished for committing arson.”

It was pardonable, but by principle, it should not be forgiven!

“Your heart is too soft!” Wang Mingbao said.

“This matter was competed fairly. He was defeated because he wasn’t capable enough. Nobody else is to be blamed. What are committing arson and injuring people counted as?!”

Woof woof woof. The dog barked again.

“Someone’s here.”

A well-built man of about 40 years old came to the outside of the herbal field. It was the first time for Wang Jiangang to visit the herbal field at such a close distance in such a long period of time. Previously, he only watched from a far distance.

This?!

His vision suddenly felt a bit blurry. The trees seemed to be swaying back and forth, and dancing while overlapping each other.

“What’s happening?” He shook his head hard and gave it a good look. The trees swayed even more with him looking.

“This is strange!” He was inexplicably a little panic.

“What are you looking at, Uncle?” A voice resounded from the inside.

“Oh, Wang Mingbao is here too!” After seeing that he was here as well, Wang Jiangang knew today that the matter probably could not be solved easily.

“Uncle, take a seat.” Wang Yao went into the hut and got him a tea cup.

“How is it? Is your herbal field fine?”

“It’s fine. It was close,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“It’s good as long as it’s fine.” Wang Jiangang reached out his hand to take out a cigarette. He just wanted to light it up when he suddenly realized something, and put it back.

“Go ahead and smoke.”

“It’s alright.” Wang Jiangang waved his hand.

“The matter has basically already been clarified. Wang Jianye was also influenced by his anger and acted on impulse. However, he must be punished. The county committee asked me to come over and hear your thoughts.” Wang Jiangang said.

“The things he did must be dealt with. Considering that we’re from the same village and that he did not hurt anyone, give him a lighter punishment.”

“Okay, okay, okay,” Wang Jiangang answered. This result was what he wanted, or what the county committee wanted as well.

“Then, I’ll go back and speak to the Party Secretary. This matter has to be reported to the higher-ups.”

“Alright. Go back safely, Uncle.”

“Okay.”

Both of them sent Wang Jiangang off.

“Are you going to let go of this matter just like that?!” Wang Mingbao asked.
