Becoming a life winner from infancy

It did indeed seem much more robust than ordinary chickens and ducks, and by Fang You\'s estimate, it appeared to be about the same height as Nuo Nuo.

Moving as if patrolling the streets, Brother Dong looked left and right, striding forward with great swagger.

Just then, a tricycle passed by next to it, and not only did it not make any effort to dodge, but it also cackled a few times at the tricycle, almost startling the dozing driver off the vehicle.

Uh...

How should I put it, its demeanor was quite arrogant.

As an expert who had surfed the internet for two lifetimes, Fang You was of course aware of the combat prowess of geese, but hearing about it was not the same as seeing it firsthand, and this was indeed his first encounter.

It is said that while geese appear gentle, in reality, they are one of the three dreaded bullies of the rural areas. Their attack power might not be high, but they have a very strong desire to attack, and they can deal a great deal of humiliation.

Furthermore, because geese have a strong sense of territory, many rural areas keep several free-range geese to guard their homes and yards, and they are even becoming a threat to the traditional status of dogs.

But at the end of the day, a goose is just a domestic fowl. If it really came to a fight with a dog, could it actually defeat a meat-eater?

As Fang You was thinking this, a native dog appeared in their field of vision.

At that moment, the country dog with a black back was baring its teeth and growling a warning at Brother Dong approaching, evidently harboring a deep grudge against him.

Seeing the dog appearing, Lin Mengran and her subordinates sighed deeply, gnashed their teeth, beat their chests, treading with heavy steps, sharing a tragic sentiment akin to Jiang Wei learning of the surrender of the Young Master to Deng Ai.

"Oh my god, why did Hu Zi rush in ahead of time?"

Lin Mengran scolded a new lackey by her side and knocked on his head:

"Si Lang, didn\'t we agree? We were supposed to release our township\'s divine animal as a trump card at the very end, weren\'t we?"

"I, I was scared mia!"

When the new kid opened his mouth, his words were whistling through a gap: he was missing two front teeth:

"As soon as Hu Zi saw Brother Dong, it rushed up, and I couldn\'t hold it back, so I came to report to you first."

On hearing this, Lin Mengran let out a sigh, her tone full of helplessness.

"Si Lang, after we defeat Brother Dong, you need to go back and reflect on this. There\'s a reason why you still haven\'t become the middle protector..."

"Whimper…"

Si Lang hung his head low after being PDA\'d, looking utterly dejected.

"Gang Leader, so are we going up or not?"

Ding Ding could no longer contain her eager fighting spirit, incessantly poking the muddy ground with a bamboo stick, "We can\'t just watch Hu Zi keep throwing itself at him, it\'s about to exceed being a ghost!"

"Wait... don\'t rush it, have you forgotten how we lost to Brother Dong last time? Don\'t act recklessly, let\'s observe and see how things change."

"Got it, Gang Leader! Observe and see how things change!"

Xia Nuo echoed from the sidelines, then was glanced at by Lin Mengran.

When did this girl blend in with us?

And just then, Brother Dong also noticed Hu Zi eyeing him fiercely.

However, facing Hu Zi\'s threat, it just contemptuously turned its head and swaggered off toward the road on the other side.

Ignored!

Hu Zi\'s pride was clearly deeply wounded as it quickly ran up, blocking Brother Dong\'s path, and started barking furiously at Brother Dong.

After being provoked by Hu Zi, Brother Dong finally lost its temper.

It stepped forward briskly, confronting Hu Zi directly, and pecked him fiercely several times with rapid, precise, and ruthless attacks, revealing its true colors as a bully.

Meanwhile, Hu Zi was dodging and weaving but failed to avoid a single peck and let out pitiful howls after being mercilessly humiliated by Brother Dong.

Hu Zi was chased a few meters away by Brother Dong, running away desperately like a dog who had lost its home. The skidding motion as it ran seemed almost like drifting, and nobody even had the chance to rescue it; they could only watch as Hu Zi retreated from the fight.

Clearly, Hu Zi was just a paper tiger, and its record of being exceeded as a ghost was not just a joke.

Everyone felt sorry for Hu Zi\'s futile efforts.

Seeing morale dipping, Lin Mengran encouraged everyone:

"Although Hu Zi is not weak, it is just a dog after all. If it\'s gone, it\'s gone, there\'s nothing to regret."

Lin Mengran called out to everyone, "We are the main force against Brother Dong. As the premier local gang, we naturally have our own tactics, strategies, and skills…"

Ding Ding: "As expected of the Gang Leader!"

Er Gua: "The Gang Leader is so talented!"

Xia Nuo: "Gang Leader, what should we do?"

"We should employ a strategy of splitting up and attacking from both sides, surrounding him from three directions... Eh, no, you move away!"

Where has my own Si Lang gone? Ah, there he is EMOing.

Lin Mengran pushed Xia Nuo towards Fang You.

"Keep an eye on your sister, don\'t let her cause trouble!"

"I\'m not causing trouble, I just want to help the Gang Leader out!"

Xia Nuo bounced around and retorted, "Also, You You is not my brother, he\'s my good friend!"

Lin Mengran once again looked Fang You up and down, wondering if someone nearly her own height could really become a dependable combat force?

At least he should be more useful than Siro...

Unfortunately, he had brought along a burden.

This child looked like a pampered city girl, and if she were to join them in playing... no, confronting Brother Dong, should she trip and fall by accident, she would definitely turn into a big crying nuisance.

If Mom found out about this, she would definitely get a severe talking-to!

Following the principle that less is more, Lin Mengran gave up on the idea of inviting Fang You to join the team.

She decided to ignore Xia Nuo\'s comments and to start planning their strategy.

"I\'ll lure Brother Dong from the front, Ding Ding and Er Gua will sneak up from behind quietly, try not to make too much noise."

"Then You You and I will be the substitutes, waiting till you guys start crying from getting beaten, then we\'ll step in," Xia Nuo raised her hand to suggest.

Hmph... you girl, looking down on whom?

Lin Mengran scoffed at Xia Nuo\'s words.

Our Meng Ran Gang had already lost to Brother Dong once, but we would never be defeated by the same enemy a second time!

That\'s the creed of our Meng Ran Gang!

As the Gang Leader, of course I must lead by example.

Lin Mengran felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders and suddenly found the confidence to face Brother Dong.

Throughout this, Fang You was watching the drama unfold with the attitude of a spectator enjoying the show.

He remembered seeing a video somewhere stating that a goose\'s intelligence could match that of a five or six-year-old human child; they could indeed be considered evenly-matched opponents.

Speaking of which, Lin Mengran seemed to be only seven or eight years old and used so many idioms in her speech—her language arts grades must not be too shabby, huh?

Quite an interesting kid...

Lin Mengran took a deep breath and, holding her bamboo stick that was even taller than herself, took heavy steps forward, blocking Brother Dong\'s path.

...

Ga.

Brother Dong honked and also stopped in its tracks, staring at the human child towering above it.

Lin Mengran and Brother Dong looked each other in the eye, the air filled with the sulfurous smell of fireworks.

Without a doubt, this was the scent of the battlefield!

The famous five-star general from the Lighthouse Country, Mike ah sir, once said that humanity\'s hymn is a hymn to courage.

And now was the moment for Lin Mengran to demonstrate the greatness of humanity!

Lin Mengran let out a shout and then charged towards Brother Dong!

"Ga!"

The brave would prevail in a narrow pass, and Brother Dong too spread its wings, honking and rushing toward Lin Mengran.

Wow!

Even though Brother Dong with its wings spread out couldn\'t fly, it seemed to grow larger in size, and its intimidation level maxed out!

Lin Mengran and Brother Dong only clashed briefly before Brother Dong snatched the bamboo stick with its beak and tossed it away.

Thwack!

"Ow... aaaah!"

Without my treasure of the gang, how can I take on Brother Dong!

Brother Dong pecked at Lin Mengran\'s bottom and chased her a distance as she ran around in circles, clutching her butt and crying.

Ding Ding and Er Gua, who had stealthily approached from behind, were terrified at Brother Dong\'s might and would tremble and cry miserably whenever Brother Dong got a bit too close, throwing their bamboo sticks away.

Darn it, is there no one who can take down Brother Dong?

Lin Mu Village... calling for a true hero!

And, just at that moment, someone picked up Lin Mengran\'s bamboo stick from the ground.

Holding the Gang Leader\'s symbol was an adorable, energetic little lass who looked super petite.

Xia Nuo, holding the bamboo stick with both hands and staggering, had a serious expression, her eyes filled with determination and courage.

She struggled to prop up the bamboo stick and issued a declaration of war to Brother Dong, who was nibbling at Lin Mengran\'s jeans—

"I\'m going to fight Brother Dong!"
