Dabai let out a low growl at Gu Yao.
Gu Yao was startled.
Xiaobai also howled at Gu Yao.
Gu Yao was utterly confused.
"Dabai is the king of the forests within dozens of miles around this area. No other fierce beasts dare to trespass on its territory..." Yang Ruxin translated for Gu Yao what Dabai was saying, "But it’s still better to quickly dispose of this tiger and exchange it for silver..." It’s not convenient to use the space with other people around; they had to carry it down together.
Gu Yao touched his nose. He had just been a bit worried casually. He didn’t mean to disrespect Dabai at all. Geez, this creature is too smart, isn’t it?
When the tiger descended the mountain, Dapu East Village and the surrounding villages were once again sensationalized two days after the Yang Baifu’s injury incident.
Dao Xuzi, the old man, was impatient with being watched. He slipped away with Xiaobai as soon as they left the mountain. He had thought Xiaobai was quite majestic before, but he never imagined Xiaobai was actually descended from the Tiger King and Wolf King. It was incredible. He decided that from now on, he would treat Xiaobai even better. Perhaps that would bring him closer to the Mountain King, and maybe one day, he would even get a wolf for a pet.
Of course, he also had to go back and hurry to make medicine pills. Gu Qingheng was afraid that Yang Ruxin wouldn’t like to drink bitter medicine, so he insisted on having them made into pills. Ah, his own life was tough. He’d have to ask that girl to make him some tasty food to comfort his soul later.
The villagers clustered around the tiger and couldn’t help but marvel. The last time Yang Ruxin and Gu Yao went hunting, they came back with a Black Bear. Just a little more than a month later, the two had caught a tiger... How could their luck be so good?
Of course, everyone also started to envy Little Liuzi and Tie Dan; look, fawning over the Gu Family really paid off. A tiger was worth more than a Black Bear, so wouldn’t each household get dozens of silvers at least?
Faced with the inquiries of others, either envious or jealous, the few people just smiled and did not engage in conversation. After all, the mountain was right there. When Yang Ruxin had hunted the Black Bear, he’d already said if anyone had the skill, they were free to go up there; nobody is stopping them. Now that they had hunted the tiger, it was their own skill, and there was no need to explain anything to anyone else.
Upon hearing the news, Yang Zhenli and others also rushed over.
"Oh my God, are you all alright?" Liu Cuiyun’s face turned pale, first looking at Xiaoliu and then glancing at the others. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom." Xiaoliu was visibly proud, "I’m telling you, with Xinxin and Ayao around, there won’t be any problems. They are so amazing..." His tone carried an unconscious pride and admiration.
"Big brother, you’re so incredible." Yang Xiaoshun shouted out.
"Shunzi, hurry and go find Old Basket Uncle. We need to hire his ox cart to go to the town..." Xiaoliu quickly ordered his younger brother. Although Xinxin hadn’t told them to keep the matter of making friends with the tiger a secret, he wouldn’t go talking about it. After all, he was not a blabbermouth.
Yang Xiaoshun replied with an "Okay" and then turned to run off. His brother had hunted a tiger, and he felt too impressive; he could walk around the village with his head held high from now on.
"Slow down, don’t fall..." Liu Cuiyun called out to her youngest son in a fluster, but the little guy had already run out of sight and didn’t hear his mother’s words at all.
Tie Dan also hurried to smile at Zhao Xinghua, who was running over: "Mom, we caught a tiger..."
When Zhao Xinghua saw the tiger, her legs went weak for a moment, but she was supported by Liang Youcai beside her, preventing her from falling. However, she murmured to Liang Youcai, "Dear, is that really a tiger?"
