Yang Dashan threw the things on the ground and ran straight to Zhao Zhan. He didn’t dare to touch him though. To be honest, he was scared to death to even come close. “Why did you go up the mountain? Did you encounter that tiger?”
“I’m fine. this isn’t my blood,” Zhao Zhan said calmly.
“It would be too dark at night. I wasn’t sure if we could hold the fort, so I went up the mountain in advance to take a look.
“This blood was originally intended to cover up the smell on my body.
“In the end, perhaps because the smell of blood was too strong, it attracted two wolves. I took my wife and hid. The tiger was blind in one eye and couldn’t beat the two wolves.
“When the two of us came out of our hiding place, we found that the tiger had been bitten to death. The two wolves might come back though.”
To say that the tiger died somewhere they didn’t know was the best result.
Otherwise, if someone like Zhao Kuazi, who only saw money, knew that the tiger was buried in the mountains, she might even be bold enough to go up the mountain to skin it.
Yue Jiaojiao would never allow her to do that.
“So, according to what you said, we don’t have to keep watch tonight, right?” Zhao Wencai hid behind the crowd and shouted, “If you had this ability, you should have gone up the mountain as soon as you came back. Now, you’ve wasted everyone’s time.”
“We still have to keep watch for two days.” Zhao Zhan did not even look at him. He only raised his voice and continued speaking, “Although the tiger is dead, there are wolves lurking in the mountain now. The weather is getting colder and colder. The pack of wolves might be hungry and come to the village to catch prey. It’s better for everyone to be more careful these few days.”
These words were not just empty words.
The tiger was buried deep in the mountains. Before Zhao Zhan dug the pit, he had checked the surrounding environment and found traces of wolf activity.
“You’re only saying whatever you want to!” Zhao Wencai spat and looked at Zhao Zhan with eyes full of envy, “You think there will be wolves just because you say so? If you’re so capable, why don’t you just kill the wolf? Now you’re out here scaring everyone. You’re only saying this because I said we didn’t need to keep watch anymore. I’ll tell everyone that whoever listens to you is a fool. The tiger is dead, and you still want to keep watch. Isn’t it better to go home and hug your wife to sleep instead?”
Zhao Wencai just didn’t like Zhao Zhan, he despised him.
When Zhao Zhan lived in his house to beg for food, Zhao Zhan became a servant that he could order around at will.
Although Zhao Zhan became a hunter and was praised by many people in the village, there was no girl in the village who liked him. Zhao Wencai had been proud of this for a long time, and he always felt that Zhao Zhan would never be better than him in this life.
However, the tides had changed.
The little girl that Zhao Zhan had married was stunningly beautiful.
Why did all the good things go to Zhao Zhan?
If his family had not raised him for a few years, would he have grown up to be this lucky?
Therefore, Zhao Wencai deliberately went against Zhao Zhan whenever he could.
“Alright, alright. don’t listen to him. Go do what you need to do tonight.”
“Master Sun,” Yue Jiaojiao, who had been standing behind Zhao Zhan, suddenly called out, “Are you registering the helper’s name now?”
Master Sun only responded to those that gave him silver.
“Yes,” he answered immediately, “What are your orders, madam?”
Yue Jiaojiao coldly glanced at Zhao Wencai and casually said, “I don’t need to give you any instructions. You just need to register those with the surname Yang. There’s no need to register anyone else.”
