Chapter 40 The Journey to Donkey Garden is Long

  "Shan Yong, Da Peng is looking for you... What are you doing upstairs? Haven't finished cleaning up yet?"

  Teng Hongyu was shouting at her son downstairs, while Lei Dapeng smiled and brought a big bunch of bananas and several large pineapples to his "dry mother". Although it was early in the morning, Teng Hongyu was not busy with farm work. She chatted with this cheap "dry son" for a while, except that their conversation didn't match well and might hurt each other. However, this "dry son" was better than others, as he never forgot to bring something to his "dry mother" whenever he came back. After shouting twice without seeing Shan Yong come down, Lei Dapeng went upstairs by himself, just like going back to his own home.

  The first and second floors were guest rooms, with a small part of the wall being a residence. On the upper floor, there was a small attic, next to which was a balcony surrounded by iron railings. This place had been tidied up by Shan Yong, and in the summer and autumn seasons, sometimes several people would gather on the balcony to drink and invite the moon. When they got drunk, they would count the stars or sleep on the floor. It was very familiar. Lei Dapeng went upstairs, knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he pushed it open directly. Shan Yong was busy tidying up a few things, with two jars on the table. As soon as Lei Dapeng saw them, his eyes lit up, and Shan Yong immediately warned: "These are gifts, don't have any crooked thoughts or I'll kick you."

  "What's the big deal? It's just a few years of aged wine, right? You put that Lafite box there, let me take a look." Lei Dapeng said disdainfully, but his eyes didn't leave the thing, knowing it was good stuff. His father was a wine connoisseur, and with one sip he could tell the acidity, sweetness, and alcohol content. This must be his father's hidden treasure. Although he said it wasn't a big deal, this thing triggered Lei Dapeng's conditioned reflex, and he involuntarily licked his lips.

  Shanyong ignored this glutton and asked while cleaning up: "What are you doing here?"

  "Didn't we agree to go to the donkey farm together?" Lei Dapeng said with a calm face, not taking into account being rejected yesterday.

  "Who said okay, get out of here." Danyong didn't bother with this guy and obviously didn't want to bring him along.

  "Whatever, I'm leaving." Lei Dapeng turned around and walked away. After two steps, he didn't hear Egg Brother calling him back, so he felt a bit disappointed and returned. Stretching his neck and speaking with great expectation: "Egg Brother, I'm really leaving now, be careful on your own!"

  "Don't be hypocritical, even if you beg me again, I won't take you." Shanyong said, this time a bit unusual, but then again, it's not just this time that's unusual. It doesn't matter where they go, every time they return to Lvgarden, Shanyong is like this, refusing to bring Leidaipeng along no matter what.

  "Oh, that's right... Okay, Egg Brother, I'll go chat with Aunt for a bit." Lei Dapeng said, his eyes rolling in a circle as he reminded himself: "Aunt always asks me how my studies are going? Always asks if I'm not causing trouble at school? Maybe she'll even ask me if I've been eating well... or if I've gotten into any mischief..."

  It worked, this trick worked, and Shan Yong was shocked to take a few steps forward, pulling Lei Da Peng into the house and pushing him against the wall, staring at him with wide eyes and scolding in a low voice: "What do you mean? Threaten me? Do you believe that I can beat you until your mouth is full of blood?"

  "Hey... I won't say, I won't say, but Egg Brother, you also know that I have a loose mouth. If I'm with you, wouldn't it be safer? Otherwise, I might accidentally say something and get in trouble?" Lei Dapeng wasn't afraid of being beaten, he was just afraid that Egg Brother wouldn't take him along. He looked up at Egg Brother with an innocent face, pleading with him. Shan Yong let out a sigh and released Lei Dapeng. Looking at this guy, who was really worried about his own secrets being spilled to his parents, he couldn't help but feel a bit afraid. Sighing, he said: "How did I end up not being able to control you anymore? Alright, alright, you're so clever, you've even got me threatened..."

  "What's the big deal? Look at what you're saying, don't I want to help you? I'm just moving things."

  Lei Dapeng was delighted, and Egg Brother relaxed his mouth. He immediately crawled up the pole, uninvited, and carried those two jars. Single Yong picked up two boxes, and the two of them went downstairs, bidding farewell as they left the hospital gate. Knowing what her son was going to do, Teng Hongyu reminded him to be careful on the road and come back early, and then she arranged for some donkey meat to be prepared.

  As soon as they went out, Danyong knew that Leidapeng must have been well-prepared. Indeed, Leidapeng pointed to a black Hyundai Tucson. Danyong was surprised: "Wow, your mom has changed cars again?"

  "Your eyesight is bad, Egg Brother, how much are the cars produced by Baojun worth? My mom wants to change hers, and it's gotta be a BMW series at least." Lei Dapeng said proudly.

  There's a rich mom and dad who are very stubborn, Lei Dapeng is just like that. Dan Yong smiled and didn't say anything, knowing that this nagging guy isn't easy to get rid of. As they walked, he said: "Going is fine, but we need to set some rules, everything will be under my command..."

  The car's rear door opened, and when it did, Shan Yong was stunned. He had forgotten what he was going to say next. Wang Huating and Si Muxian were sitting in the back seat, smiling at him. Lei Dapeng laughed and took charge: "Egg brother agreed, we're all going...it's just a matter of luck now, if we're lucky, we might even run into a wild donkey banquet."

  It turned out that this guy just wanted to eat, but Wang Huating was also involved in the matter of the three brothers. As soon as they got on the car and sat down, Lei Dapeng wanted to drive, but was pushed aside by Shan Yong, who said that he had a bad temper and poor driving skills. Before he could even sit in the driver's seat, Wang Huating took over, and Shan Yong asked in surprise: "Does she have a driver's license?"

  "You've had it for a long time, and you're almost done with the first round." Wang Huating said disdainfully. Lei Dapeng sat in the front passenger seat, alongside Dang Hua. Shan Yong was relegated to the backseat, where he sat with Si Muxian.

  The car started slowly and drove very steadily. On the mountain road, it took several sharp turns very smoothly, which made Shanyong feel at ease. Leidapeng was even more impressed, praising Wang Huating's driving skills as better than Shanyong's. As for the two in the backseat, they didn't bother to pay attention to this cargo of friends. Shanyong asked in a low voice how they had all gotten together, and Simu Xian explained that Leidapeng had actually arranged everything the day before, even worrying that Shanyong might not be willing to bring everyone along. The idea was Wang Huating's, and it really hit Shanyong's weak spot.

  No way, who made them brothers in the same dormitory? If they didn't take care of each other, it would be hard to explain. On the way down the mountain, Shanyong leaned against the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, too lazy to listen to Lei Dapeng's chatter. Wang Huating saw from the rearview mirror that Shanyong seemed to have some worries on his mind and didn't say much. Since the department head visited them for a short time alone after that incident, she more or less touched the seemingly simple yet wonderful world in Shanyong's heart, and her curiosity seemed to be driving her slowly closer to these few unusual people. At this moment, it felt like Shanyong was bringing a thousand, ten thousand unwillingness with him.

  This made her a bit unhappy too, and she asked Shanyong: "Shanyong, how can you look so much more mature after just one day of not seeing each other?"

  He said a word, and also gave Lei Dapeng a wink. Lei Dapeng immediately understood, turned around and pulled Shan Yong, saying: "Egg brother, your deep disguise is not very good, just going to a donkey farm, haven't gone yet, you're so deeply disguised as a donkey face, who are you showing it to? It's better for everyone to play together!"

  "Oh my, am I being too serious?" Zhang Yong cried and laughed at the same time, explaining: "Er Lei, brother isn't being serious, brother is just deeply taught a lesson every time by you, can't help but be on guard. I was thinking, must not mess up again, that's half of my rice bowl."

  "That's not right, you're not better than anyone else at getting into trouble." Wang Huating smiled and added, then asked Simu Xian: "Is that so, Mu Xian?"

  "Although I'm a non-party person, this time I tend to support the opinion of the organization's leadership." said Si Mu Xian.

  "Huh? Dan Yong suddenly felt something was off, as if he had become an outsider. Le Da Peng's words made sense, but he couldn't believe that Si Mu Xian had also been bought over by Wang Hua Ting. He gave the two of them a few white-eyed stares and warned: "Looks like you're both trying to squeeze me out? It's not that I'm being petty and won't take you guys there, but that place is half full of donkey drivers and half full of donkey owners - every single one of them has the temperament of a donkey. They talk as if they're arguing, and ugly words are spoken openly. Just watch the excitement from a distance, listen to orders, and don't make any rash moves or say anything out of line. That place is too special."

  "Nonsense! Isn't he just a professional donkey breeder? He's making a bigger fuss than the mayor's mansion." Lei Dapeng was skeptical.

  "You're just a bumpkin, you don't understand anything. No mistake, he's a professional at raising donkeys, but no matter what, doing things to the extreme is unbearable. Let me calculate the account, Lai Da Peng, how much does one catty of donkey meat cost now?" Dan Yong asked.

  "Forty-five, tops," said Lei Dapeng.

  "A donkey, apart from its lips, tongue, ears, skin, tail, and other internal organs, has an average meat yield of 35%. How much do you think a whole donkey can be sold for if it's all turned into food?" asked Danyong again.

  "A donkey weighs several hundred catties, if it's a Texas donkey, it's even bigger, weighing seven or eight hundred catties... Wow, now just the donkey whip can cost one or two hundred, and it's still not a big one." Lei Dapeng was startled.

  "This is the price after processing. The type of donkey that is abundant here is the Shanxi South medium-sized donkey. The price of a stud donkey is around 1,500 yuan per head, and the price of a fattened one is around 2,500 yuan. The price of naturally raised ones is even higher... Now I'm telling you, Shi Jia normally has 3,000 heads of donkeys in stock, and many breeders in surrounding villages are provided with stud donkeys by their family, which are then sold back to them after fattening. You calculate how much this asset is worth?" Dan Yong asked again.

  Lei Dapeng's eyes widened as he counted on his fingers, unable to calculate the amount. He exclaimed in surprise: "What? It turns out this isn't just a wealthy family, but an extremely wealthy and influential one!"

  "What do you think? Not only that, but the entire donkey meat base of Lucheng is also located there. Every household raises them, and as long as we control that place, it's equivalent to controlling the upstream food supply for the catering industry in Lucheng City. I'm not scaring you, am I? Today, at the Donkey Garden, you can see most of the restaurant owners, hotel bosses, butchers, and donkey meat wholesalers from our city, as well as many big shots from the donkey meat processing industry outside the province, all of whom are here for their food supplies."

  "Oh, I see. Lei Dapeng somewhat understands why Shanyong refused to take him to that place. It seems it's really a divine fart, not an ordinary sound. But the more it is like this, the more it arouses his curiosity and interest. At this time, Wang Huating also curiously chimed in: "Shanyong, there are many donkey meat restaurants in our Luzhou, why did you specifically go to the Donkey Garden?"

  Lei Dapeng and Si Muxian laughed at this, and Wang Huating was taken aback by their laughter. Then, Shan Yong laughed and said: "Although you are in Shangdang, do you think you have really eaten authentic Shangdang donkey meat?"

  "Hey, this question seems self-contradictory. Wang Huating didn't think so and said: "Is it? I don't think there's much difference, yeah?"

  "It's a big difference, you may not have had real donkey meat." Lei Dapeng asked quickly.

  "It's as if you've experienced it all." Wang Huating was displeased, this guy had no tact, afraid of not being able to chime in.

  But unexpectedly, Lei Dapeng couldn't tolerate others' doubts about food. Upon hearing this, he said coldly and unyieldingly: "Of course, the six main dishes are donkey ear, donkey belly, donkey heart, donkey lips, donkey liver, and donkey tongue; the nine secondary dishes are braised donkey meat, roasted donkey tongue, abalone sauce donkey intestines, silver sprout donkey rolls, palm-sized donkey treasure, cucumber donkey balls, fragrant pan-fried donkey meat, flavorful donkey skewers, fish-flavored donkey silk, and nine-turn donkey intestines; the three soups are thick donkey tendon soup, butterfly donkey health soup, and crispy donkey willow soup. Adding a stewed golden coin, I have thirteen big flavors of donkey dishes, not one of which is inferior."

  A few sentences of rapid fire, but it was just a small test for Wang Huating, who was stunned to discover that this guy's words were so fluent and articulate, without even a slight stutter. In the blink of an eye, she saw him looking smug and pleased with himself. Wang Huating smiled: "Hey? Your memory isn't bad, huh? Being able to recite so many dish names has exhausted you to such an extent that you can't even recite a line of Tang poetry?"

  "That's different, these are edible, can Tang poetry be eaten? If it could be eaten, I would have memorized the entire Tang poetry long ago." Lei Dapeng said, causing the other three to burst out laughing. This probably also belongs to the dialectics of stupidity and cleverness, like this kind of tongue-twisting dish name, it's really not something that a clever person can recite offhand.

  As they spoke, the atmosphere slowly returned to its original warmth when the three brothers were together. Although Wang Huating was added, after their internship in Shouma Township, it didn't feel too awkward.

  She scolded Lei Dapeng a few words, and he was so scared that he shut up. Wang Huating then asked Shan Yong: "They say dragon meat is heavenly and donkey meat is earthly, but I've eaten it several times and didn't feel anything special. Once my dad's friend gave us some, we cooked it at home, and it felt very coarse."

  "That's donkey meat from a millstone-pushing donkey, if it weren't for the fact that it's mainly used to make leather, the food would be too bad." said Shan Yong.

  "It's not just that it's coarse, I also had a birthday party with friends at Lǘròu Xiāng Huǒ Guō Chéng (Donkey Meat Fragrant Fire Pot City), the donkey meat didn't feel coarse, but it was a bit greasy. After eating several times, I felt that none of them were very good." said Wang Hua Ting.

  "That's the fattened donkey meat, most of what's on the market now is this kind of donkey meat. With living standards rising, how many mouths are waiting to be fed? It's impossible for there to be that much natural food supply. They're all artificially fattened."

  A few words didn't get in, Lei Dapeng couldn't hold back, and he leaned over to Wang Huating to explain: "Meat donkey is simply a castrated donkey, a eunuch donkey... it's quick to use a mixture of feed for four or five months to fatten it up. If that thing is cut off, it won't grow normally, right, Egg Brother?"

  Si Mu Xian smiled secretly, Lei Ge spoke to Wang Hua Ting without reserve, Shan Yong smiled and nodded in agreement, Wang Hua Ting was speechless, just glanced at him, Lei Da Peng quickly explained: "Okay, don't roll your eyes, I won't say anything, okay? Ask Egg Brother, he knows a lot."

  The two of them didn't seem to match, and Dan Yong seemed to be echoing Lei Da Peng's words: "Da Peng is right, in the market, there are not only seven-week-old chickens and three-month-old pigs that have been fattened up, but also artificially fattened donkey meat. Not just Chinese food, but Western food has this problem too - foie gras, which is so tender and delicious, is actually a diseased liver. The more modernized the society becomes, the lower the quality of ingredients will be. Now, among the few donkey farms in the country, our Lucheng Donkey Garden is one of them, but even they have started to move towards modernized farming methods. Truly delicious donkey meat comes from naturally raised donkeys that are free-range in summer and autumn, fed with silage in winter, and only those that grow naturally have the best flavor."

  "Oh……that makes sense. You've piqued my interest now." Wang Huating was quite pleased with this tune, and Simu Xian smiled and said: "Branch Secretary, donkey meat is fragrant, horse meat is coarse, but mule meat is never eaten in a lifetime. This folk song isn't fake at all! Before I went to college, I didn't pay much attention to food, but after getting to know Singo and Leiko, and eating with them several times, my original views were completely changed. Spiritual food and the delight of the tongue are equally profound!"

  "It's great, if we're lucky and run into a donkey feast at the donkey farm, it'll be awesome!" Lei Dapeng said wistfully, then turned back to ask Shanyong uncertainly: "Egg brother, there should be some, right? The son is opening the lock, can't be too stingy, right?"

  The coming of age ceremony is a local custom in Lanzhou, where 13-year-old boys have to host a grand banquet for relatives and friends. It's not very popular in the city, but it's quite common in rural areas. Shan Yong hesitated, "This... depends on luck, I'm just a school bully who scares younger students, but in that place, even a second-hand dealer is better than me. They only accept orders for gold and have to pay tens of thousands of yuan as a deposit. Now it's all about wealth and status, whether or not you can sit at the table is another story."

  Shan Yongqian is humble and low-key, but this can also be understood. A student in school can't have a big family background or abilities, not being rejected by others is already good enough. Being able to go there, I estimate it's still because of selling donkey meat in that place for several years and knowing many people.

  The conversation box was opened, and the brothers started talking nonsense again. They were discussing the differences in dishes at several donkey restaurants in the city. When it came to eating, although Le Dapeng could eat a lot, but when it came to eating with skill and variety, he had to admit defeat in front of Dan Ge. For example, at this time, three heads knocked together to discuss the most awesome thing on a donkey's body - the donkey whip. How do you harvest this ingredient? Shanyong said while making gestures, vividly describing it. The best time to harvest the donkey whip is when the donkey's sex drive is suddenly aroused, and the root of the whip is filled with blood, swollen to its largest size... Then cut it off with a knife, scald it in boiling water, remove the hair, rinse it in cold water to remove the smell, and then directly cook donkey whip soup or make the famous "Tongqian meat". This method makes Le Dapeng's whole body feel like chicken skin, feeling that this is too cruel. Cutting off a man's thing is one thing, but can't you at least wait until he's finished? Shanyong said calmly, no way, after finishing, the yang energy will be gone, you don't understand...

  Si Mu Xian secretly smiled, Egg Brother intentionally led Lei Da Peng to feel sentimental, guessing that he wanted to make Wang Hua Ting embarrassed, but unexpectedly Wang Hua Ting seemed to have understood the temperaments of these people, listening calmly as if nothing was wrong, humming and smiling: "You guys are disgusting, gluttonous and shameless, speaking so viciously."

  "Right, can't be so despicable, Huating you heard that, among our few people, Egg brother is the most despicable." Lei Dapeng turned back, firmly standing on the same front line as Wang Huating.

  In the rearview mirror, Wang Huating inadvertently saw Dan Yong's eyebrows and eyes smiling again. His eyebrows were like ink, his eyes were like stars, and his wildness was tempered with determination. In the dormitory night talks of school girls, every time they discussed, they often mentioned this god-like senior who appeared only occasionally. It wasn't until near graduation that they spent so much time together. Every time they opened up, Wang Huating felt he was so optimistic, but when she thought deeply, she always saw a worried look on his face that didn't quite match his age. What was it? Wang Huating kept trying to figure out this mystery, but didn't know where to start.

  The car drove very smoothly, more than 30 kilometers to Lushan City, passing through the intersection of Zhuoma Township, and then driving north for less than ten kilometers, it entered the cement-paved village road, driving over two mountainous roads, a large area of mountainous plain came into view, with several small villages scattered around, and from time to time, three or five donkeys could be seen frolicking in the wild.

  Actually, the straight-line distance from here to Rongzhou is not far, but it's separated by the Laoding Mountains, and the highway has to detour more than 20 kilometers. The three who had never been here looked at each other with interest, this area is a natural large basin, narrow in the east and west, wide in the south and north, with flat land and gentle slopes covering dozens of square kilometers, no wonder it became a natural breeding base.

  As they approached the donkey garden, Wang Huating suddenly said: "I remember now, Shijia Village seems to be where I saw it before. This place is not far from Zhuoma Township and is just a few mountains away from Wu Xiang Old District. It can also be considered an old district. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, the Huangyadong munitions factory on the border, and the Anti-Japanese University's second branch school set up by Yan'an are all in this area."

  Here is the translation:

  "Now, Sī Mù Xián has something to say. He explained directly: 'The entire Lǔzhōu area can be considered an old liberated zone. When the 119th Division went to the front line to resist Japan, they first liberated more than a dozen county seats in Lǔzhōu. Later, they were taken back by the Japanese, and then this place became a tug-of-war zone. The Nationalist Party, the Eighth Route Army, the Hanjian troops' Dàhàn Yìmíng (Big Han Righteous Militia), the puppet army, and local warlords fought here for several years. Tiān Jǐ Shān (Heavenly Spine Mountain) is the gateway to Shàngdǎng, and Shàngdǎng is the gateway to the Central Plains. This area belongs to a strategic location, like a door hinge, and fighting against the devils (Japanese). The people here are the most formidable.'"

  "Impossible, I didn't study history? It's the Eighth Route Army, this place is not even their base, if it were, it would have become a red tourist area long ago." Wang Huating was incredulous.

  "Hehe, you study history just like you eat donkey meat, a lot of it has changed flavor." Dan Yong chimed in to explain:

  "The reason why there is no record of this in the red history books is that there was a shameful period here. The ones who controlled this place back then were not the Eighth Route Army, nor the Nationalist Party, nor the Japanese devils, but a group of bandits. The leader of the bandits was called Shi Dama Zi. This group of people gathered in the mountains and forests, disregarding everyone's authority and daring to rob anyone's supplies. However, these people were quite bold, during the big sweep of 1942, more than 60,000 civilians were killed in our Lu Zhou area alone... Shi Jia Village was no exception, it was almost wiped out. What nobody knows is that Shi Dama Zi was actually from Shi Jia Village, and the massacre enraged him thoroughly. He gave up being a bandit, set fire to his mountain stronghold in Lü Yuan, and went all out to fight the Japanese with a thousand or so bandits, armed with machetes, to attack a Japanese army garrison in Xiangyuan's southern suburbs..."

  Shan Yong said, with an unspeakable sense of longing and admiration in his words. After a long silence, it was Wang Huating who asked, "What happened next?"

  "Later... the whole army was annihilated, I suppose." Shuang Yong gave an unsurprising answer: "Not a single one of Shi Dama Zi's brave bandit cavalry returned. Although he can also be considered an anti-Japanese hero, he was a bandit after all, so he didn't have any reputation to speak of. This is still a story that Simu Xian found after researching a pile of old documents."

  "This is true, and then the Lüzhou crowd's grain robbery incident occurred, specifically robbing the military rations prepared by the Japanese and puppet regime. In name, they accepted the instructions of the base area, but this matter was not something that honest and kind-hearted ordinary people could do. The ones who really took the lead in the robbery were the remnants of the local bandits, only these people were ruthless and daring, and led the ordinary people from various counties to rob back tens of thousands of kilograms of grain from the Japanese and traitors. This matter is recorded in the Lüzhou annals. Later on, many of them were absorbed into the anti-Japanese army, and after liberation, this village was almost abandoned, with most not returning. Some had a notice of death in battle, while others didn't even have that..." Si Mu Xian said, with an expression of admiration."

  "This... I don't think there's anything worth recording in terms of historical value. The Shangdang region has always had many unruly people and bandits as numerous as the hairs on an ox. You Singles are the largest group of bandits." Wang Huating joked.

  "Although the value is not worth mentioning, such bravery is admirable. After all, in that era, there were not many troops that dared to confront the regular Japanese army head-on. Bandits who didn't surrender to the enemy were already good enough; what's more, they knew they would die but still fought to the death..."

  Shan Yong said nonchalantly, finding evidence from historical records and pointing out: "This is also the reason why Shijia Village rose to prominence later on. I've been here for a few years and discovered that they don't fight among themselves, but if someone provokes the people of Shijia Village, they'll gang up and fight together. When they fight, the whole village joins in. My dad told me that twenty or thirty years ago, everyone was poor, but the people of Shijia Village lived comfortably. Why? Because the entire village would work together to dig holes on the second-class highway, trapping cars and demanding money from drivers. If you didn't pay, they wouldn't let you leave. Later on, they stopped digging holes and simply set up toll booths on the road, robbing people who refused to pay. Even the highway stations couldn't do anything about it. If someone dared to intervene, the whole village would cause trouble... This area is notorious among out-of-town drivers, who all say that people from Lanzhou are ruthless."

  At this, Wang Huating and Si Muxian laughed, while Lei Dapeng was fascinated, stroking his chin and muttering to himself: "Wow, this place is great, with money you dare to be reckless, without money you also dare to be reckless."

  "Hey boss, spare some, Big Peng doesn't teach anymore, he's here to let loose and be a bandit."

  "Haha, that's even better, I think it's stronger than catching a horse in the countryside. You have to buy a wife there, but here you can just take one without spending any money." Lei Dapeng said with a grin, provoking Wang Huating into rolling her eyes at him again.

  When you're angry, this Lei Da Peng is even more restless, and his eyes are too good. He can't walk far and sees a big grey donkey on top of a small grass donkey, humming and hawing in broad daylight, doing that thing. Suddenly, he lets out a sly laugh, points and gestures to Si Mu Xian: "Quickly look quickly... this wild battle position is so cool! Ah yo yo yo... why are you pulling me?"

  It's done, Wang Huating was furious, and severely pinched Lei Dapeng, who was unhappy for a moment. However, when he met Wang Huating's stern expression with her eyebrows raised and eyes wide with anger, he felt intimidated and weakly pointed at him saying: "I said it was a beast, why are you getting angry?"

  "Can you suffocate yourself by not speaking?" Wang Huating scolded.

  Lei Dapeng was rebuked and turned his head in a huff, choosing to remain silent in the face of violence. However, this turn of his head had already brought him close to the entrance of Shijia Village. He was so startled that he forgot Wang Huating's lesson and opened his mouth to exclaim: "Oh oh oh, I've only seen mountains of people and seas of people... This is simply a mountain of donkeys and a sea of donkeys! How many donkey whips and donkey treasures must be hidden here!"

  This time, Wang Huating didn't scold Lei Dapeng again, and was also stunned by the magnificent scenery in front of her eyes. Except for a straight cement road leading to the village, there were no crops on both sides of the wild fields, but all donkeys, black, white, gray, and spotted ones, crowded together. Occasionally, a young donkey would see the car coming and excitedly raise its head and bray "hee-haw...", as if welcoming the guests. This village, except for the small buildings in the center, was almost entirely surrounded by sloping roofs of large breeding sheds. From time to time, you could hear the sound of young donkeys singing in harmony, and from time to time, people would drive a group of donkeys over, making it very lively.

  As soon as they got off the car, Wang Huating looked around in surprise and found that the parking area was almost full, with cars of all colors parked along the village road to the outskirts of the village, with over a hundred vehicles. The four people's modern off-road vehicle was parked among a group of Audis, BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, and Hummers, and it really didn't stand out. This time, whether it was Wang Huating or Lei Dapeng, they both believed that this was indeed an extraordinary place...
