Chapter 83
Staking out by the River to Catch the Bad Guys
"Dr. Zhao, you are so smart."
"I've been thinking about this all afternoon and I still can't figure it out, but you solved it with just one sentence." Chen Huan was overjoyed, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he hugged Zhao Liping and gave her a big kiss.
"You little rascal, what if your sister-in-law sees this?" Zhao Liping blushed and punched Chen Huan twice.
Although she was complaining, her heart was filled with spring fever.
If there hadn't been other people in the room, she might have just pestered Chen Huan for a good time.
But at this moment, Chen Huan had no mind to think about anything else.
He kept thinking about the point Zhao Liping had just made.
To administer the medicine.
After much thought, this is the only idea that seems plausible.
In addition, the environment of that pond is special, unlike a typical fishpond or reservoir.
If someone deliberately sabotaged the drugging process, then the drugging would definitely continue.
Nighttime is undoubtedly a prime time for crime.
So Chen Huan immediately left the village.
He deliberately didn't drive or turn on his flashlight, but quietly made his way to the riverbank outside the village in the dark.
There was nothing to hide behind in the pond, so Chen Huan simply hid behind a patch of grass about ten meters away.
This is what is known as "camping out".
Chen Huan had already mentally prepared himself for a protracted battle before he arrived.
Fortunately, with true qi surrounding him, he was able to hide in the grass in the middle of summer without being bothered by mosquitoes.
Otherwise, any normal person would have been sucked dry by mosquitoes by now.
Unable to use his phone or smoke, Chen Huan simply entered a meditative state.
Anyway, the spiritual energy here by the river is abundant, so cultivation here will be twice as effective.
This training session lasted for several hours.
We waited until almost midnight, when the moonlight was at its brightest.
The silver light that fell from mid-air gilded the entire river surface and everything around it with a mysterious hue.
Chen Huan, who was still in a state of cultivation, suddenly heard a splashing sound coming from the other side of the river.
"It's here!" Chen Huan immediately stopped cultivating and opened his eyes.
I peered through the gaps in the grass toward the direction from which the sound came.
He had already clenched his fists, thinking that once he found the person who had drugged him, he would beat him up without hesitation.
A broken head and broken legs—they absolutely cannot be let off lightly.
The reeds on the opposite bank of the river grew even more luxuriantly.
At this moment, all that can be heard is a sound and a patch of reeds swaying, indicating that something is approaching the river.
Chen Huan casually picked up a rock, waiting for the person to show their face so he could give them a hard blow.
When the reed peeked out from inside, Chen Huan was so startled he almost screamed.
"Not human!" Chen Huan's eyes twitched.
A pair of bright green eyes peeked out from the reeds, set in the fuzzy big face.
Its ears were pointed and straight, sticking upwards.
"This is... a fox?" Chen Huan blinked, finally recognizing it.
That's right, it's a big fox with red fur.
"That one in the woods!"
"How could it be?" Many thoughts flashed through Chen Huan's mind in an instant.
In that short time, the big fox had completely emerged from the reeds.
He looked around warily, then went to a protruding rock by the river, crouched down, gathered his strength, and then jumped up suddenly.
The big fox actually planned to jump directly from the other side of the river to this side.
The location it chose to cross was basically the narrowest part of this river channel.
But it is also seven or eight meters wide.
As a result, this huge fox moved with surprising agility, easily drawing a beautiful arc in the air before landing gently.
It made almost no sound.
"This bastard, no wonder he's cultivated; he's practically become a spirit!"
"This stamina is probably even better than that of tigers and leopards in the mountains." Chen Huan watched quietly from behind the bushes, his expression growing increasingly surprised.
Then, for some inexplicable reason, he remembered that when he was gathering herbs in the forest, he had been attacked by an injured wild boar.
The wild boar had long, thin claw marks on its belly.
It's very likely that this big fox in front of us did it.
This guy definitely has that kind of strength, without a doubt.
While I was thinking, the big fox had already circled around from the bank to the pool.
Just as Chen Huan was wondering how this hairy beast was going to poison the pool next.
Suddenly, the large, fiery red fox turned its body, spread its legs, and began to urinate into the pool.
"Pee?" Chen Huan was completely dumbfounded.
He had been thinking of many ways to cause trouble, but he never expected that the fox would urinate in the pond.
At this moment, a unique, foul odor had begun to permeate the air.
There were already some fish and shrimp in the pool, but now they were all desperately trying to escape through the waterway into the river.
In the blink of an eye, the pool was completely silent.
"Damn it."
"This fox is really vengeful," Chen Huan said with a strange expression.
He knew why that big fox had gone all the way from the forest to cause him trouble.
It's because I took its cultivation spot and stole some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Although he knew that he had disturbed the other party's cultivation first, Chen Huan still did not intend to let the other party go.
Seeing that the big fox had finished urinating and even shook itself a couple of times by the river, Chen Huan threw the stone in his hand at it.
The big fox was secretly pleased with himself after he had done his bad deed.
They probably didn't expect the victim to be squatting just a dozen meters away.
So it only realized the rock was about to hit its head.
However, this guy reacted quickly, suddenly pulling his head back.
In the end, Chen Huan's stone only hit its ear.
Even so, it still gave the big red fox a big fright.
"You bastard, you owe me my fish!"
"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll skin you alive and sell you for money!" Chen Huan jumped up from behind the bushes, clutching a fist-sized rock in his hand.
It's bad enough that they deliberately provoked the wild boars in the mountains to attack me, but now they've repeatedly come to harm the fish, shrimp, and crabs that I've worked so hard to raise. I have to get revenge on the spot.
The big fox seemed to know how powerful Chen Huan was. It cried out twice and immediately tried to leap to the other side of the river.
As soon as he got into position, Chen Huan's stone came hurtling over.
It landed squarely on his butt.
The big fox also jumped at the same time, but because its movements were distorted and it was frightened, it started falling into the water halfway through its jump.
"Let's see how you run now." Chen Huan was immediately excited.
He bent down again to pick up the stone, ready to press his advantage.
Such a big fox, with such shiny and smooth fur, is enough to make up for the loss of an entire pond of river fish.
"I've been thinking about this all afternoon and I still can't figure it out, but you solved it with just one sentence." Chen Huan was overjoyed, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he hugged Zhao Liping and gave her a big kiss.
