The Eavesdropper

Springtime is precious, and time waits for no one.

Chen Huan had drunk a small cup of Chunyang wine earlier, and the effects were still present.

At this moment, faced with Li Chunlan's captivating beauty, he had absolutely no power to resist.

She didn't know how much time had passed; Li Chunlan leaned against his shoulder, her breathing still unsteady.

She asked softly, "How did you catch all those blackfish in your house?"

Chen Huan said with a smile, "I have a unique skill."

"Then tell me about it. I did everything you asked for earlier..." Li Chunlan's curiosity was bursting.

Chen Huan felt the blood surging within him again.

Just as he was thinking about a second chance, he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from the back window of their house.

Chen Huan immediately sensed something was wrong and signaled to Li Chunlan not to make a fuss.

Then he quietly left the house and climbed over the wall to the outside.

A few seconds later, they went around to the base of the wall near the back window.

As a result, I saw a thin, small man crouching there furtively, eavesdropping.

Chen Huan felt his blood run cold.

If this guy is only interested in hearing about his relationship with Li Chunlan, then this is a very serious matter.

Although the commotion was not loud, it was enough for people to tell what was going on inside.

"What kind of bastard dares to do such a despicable thing!" Chen Huan was extremely angry and kicked him on the back of the head.

The guy was so engrossed in eavesdropping that he didn't even notice when Chen Huan arrived.

The kick landed squarely, and the person screamed as they plunged headfirst into the nearby ditch.

"Zhao Dayong?" Chen Huan recognized him immediately.

This is also a member of the Zhao family; he's a cousin of Zhao Dashan and the others.

However, this guy doesn't have much fighting ability, he's thin and small, and he's rather sleazy.

"Don't hit me, I was just passing by, I didn't do anything," Zhao Dayong said, climbing out of the ditch and trying to dodge the attack.

Chen Huan pulled a dagger from his waist and held it to his throat.

  

He asked through gritted teeth, "Do you want to live or die?"

Zhao Dayong was timid and shuddered, almost wetting his pants.

He said, trembling, "Of course I want to live! I was just passing by. You didn't need to stab me with a knife, did you?"

Chen Huan moved the knife down again, to that vital spot. "I'll only ask you once. If you dare to tell even half a lie, you can say goodbye to him."

Zhao Dayong trembled even more violently and could only nod.

"Who told you to come and eavesdrop? What did you hear?" Chen Huan asked, staring intently into his eyes.

Zhao Dayong stammered, "Zhao Dashan sent me here, saying he wanted me to hear your family's secrets, mainly to find out why those blackfish listen to you."

"Before I even heard anything, you kicked me into the ditch."

"I just arrived too, and I only heard a few words."

Chen Huan felt slightly relieved, then asked again, "Didn't you hear anything else?"

Zhao Dayong swore, "I really didn't hear you. You found me as soon as I arrived. If I lied and went out, may a plane crash into me."

Seeing that the guy was so scared that his mouth was stammering, Chen Huan stopped suspecting anything.

She sheathed the knife and said coldly, "Get lost. If you dare come back again, I'll dump you in a ditch."

Zhao Dayong ran away in a panic.

The more Chen Huan thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

He wasn't afraid of anything, but he was mainly worried that Li Chunlan would be gossiped about.

Logically, this matter should end here.

But the more Chen Huan thought about it, the angrier and more agitated she became, feeling that she couldn't just let it go.

The Zhao family is always finding fault with me and trying to kill me. If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll never know that Lord Ma has three eyes.

"Yes, retaliation is necessary."

"Immediate retaliation!" Chen Huan made up his mind.

In rural areas, there are countless ways to control people.

Chen Huan had been mischievous since childhood, so he immediately came up with an idea.

He remembered that there was a small beehive hidden near the woodpile behind his house.

Wild giant hornets are aggressive and venomous.

Even a sting will hurt for at least a few days.

After finding a mineral water bottle at home, Chen Huan quickly arrived near the woodpile.

Now that the hornets were resting, Chen Huan dug up some of the Golden Elixir powder and put it into a mineral water bottle.

Then, he dropped the mineral water bottle far away near the beehive.

Next, I drilled a small hole in the bottle cap and waited quietly.

Sure enough, not long after, several large wasps, attracted by the smell, flew into the mineral water bottle.

Seeing that things were going well, Chen Huan immediately ran over and put the bottle cap back on.

I counted them, and there were about seven or eight of them, each about the thickness of my little finger, and they were quite fierce and powerful.

"I'm adding a dish to your Zhao family's menu tonight; I hope you enjoy it."

After much deliberation, Chen Huan finally decided to start with Zhao Dashan.

This guy separated from Zhao Siming a long time ago and should be living alone now.

We'll go straight to his house and give him a surprise, to see if he'll dare to send someone to eavesdrop again.

Following my memory, I headed in the direction of Zhao Dashan's house.

Before they even reached their destination, Chen Huan suddenly noticed a shadowy figure ahead, deliberately walking along the base of the wall.

When people walk at night, they usually head towards areas with light.

But this guy did the opposite, and Chen Huan immediately took notice.

Once they got closer and saw clearly, their expressions turned strange.

That sneaky fellow was none other than Zhao Siming, the village chief of Lotus Village.

"It's this late, why isn't the old man sleeping? What's he doing wandering around like this?" Chen Huan observed from the shadows.

They noticed that Zhao Siming was looking around suspiciously as he slowly made his way towards a row of houses at the south end of the village.

It finally stopped at the edge of the house and meowed twice in a low voice, like a cat.

It sounds like a moan of heat, and it gives you goosebumps.

"Isn't this Widow Liu's house?"

"That bastard's out cheating on his wife." Chen Huan immediately understood what was going on.

Sure enough, Widow Liu opened the door quickly and hurriedly pulled Zhao Siming inside.

This widow Liu was also in her forties. She loved to dress up and it was said that she had many romantic affairs when she was young.

That old bastard Zhao Siming knows how to pick his targets.

Chen Huan changed his mind and prepared to deal with the village chief, the local tyrant of Lotus Village.

After he tiptoed over the wall into Widow Liu's courtyard, they were already engaged in a real fight inside.

Zhao Siming was panting heavily as he kept spewing vulgarities, making Chen Huan feel nauseous.

The two were so engrossed in their passion that they forgot to lock the door to the inner room.

Chen Huan quietly crept in and saw Zhao Siming's clothes and underwear lying under the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

On a whim, he unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle containing the hornets and stuffed several of them into Zhao Siming's trouser legs and underwear.

"Why am I so naughty?" Chen Huan suppressed a laugh and quietly slipped back into the yard.

After climbing over the wall, I went to the back window and smashed the glass with a brick.

He knew that Zhao Siming, who was frightened, would definitely put on his pants and run outside immediately.
