" I'll go help Mancang with it. Cousin, you guys pack up and get ready to go home."
Wild vegetables were half of the family's rations. The next few days were equivalent to their harvest period, so Qin Feng could not persuade them.
He was going to help Zhang Mancang load the firewood into the cart first, then talk about the beast after going down the mountain.
"You have something to do first. We'll go help Mancang later."
Lin Yunfang glanced at the bow at Qin Feng's waist and said.
After getting married, Qin Feng seemed to have changed into a different person. He had changed his usual lazy habit, which changed her opinion of Qin Feng.
"I'm here to look for you. There's nothing else."
"Why are you looking for me?"
Lin Yunfang asked curiously.
"Let's talk about this on the way back."
Qin Feng walked towards Zhang Mancang with his crossbow.
Before they were halfway there, they saw a group of people coming from the village, looking furious.
"Qin Feng, what right do you have to lie to us?"
Third Aunt put her hands on her hips and took the lead.
"What did I lie to you about?"
Qin Feng was confused.
"You told us that there was a tiger in the back mountain. If you're not lying to us, what are you?"
" I made it very clear to you this afternoon. Everything is just my speculation. Besides, I didn't say that it was a tiger. It could be other ferocious beasts."
Qin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You saw it?"
"No, I haven't."
"You're spouting nonsense when you didn't see it. If you're not scaring everyone, what are you? It's fine if you don't let us hunt rabbits, but you don't even let us dig wild vegetables. You're sincerely trying to starve us to death!"
Third Aunt was like a machine gun, firing at Qin Feng.
" I just feel that it might be dangerous, so I'm reminding you. If you want to believe me, then believe me. If you don't want to believe me, then forget it. Why are you howling at me?"
Being criticized for no reason, Qin Feng was also angry. He pointed at the back of the mountain." You want to hunt rabbits? Go ahead. Did I stop you?"
"Stop for a while!"
" What's going on?" The village chief, who had rushed over after receiving the news, panted as he stood between the two of them.
"Village chief, you have to give us a reason."
When Third Aunt saw that the village chief had come, she seemed to have suffered a great grievance. She explained the matter with snot and tears.
"Qin Feng, determine if there are any ferocious beasts. Either you have seen them with your own eyes, or you have found footprints, fur, and the like. At the very least, you have to see the beasts that were bitten by the ferocious beasts."
The village chief said," You didn't find anything. You can't just talk nonsense. If everyone listened to you and formed a tiger hunting team, there would be nothing in the end. Wouldn't that delay things?"
"Alright, I got it."
Qin Feng nodded helplessly.
The tiger was ferocious, and one or two villagers could not deal with it. Therefore, once the tiger was found near the village, the young and strong would form a tiger hunting team, and other work would be delayed.
This was also the reason why Qin Feng was unwilling to say it in the beginning.
"I believe that Qin Feng has good intentions. He just said the wrong thing. There's no need for everyone to hold on to it. Everyone, disperse."
Village Chief still had some prestige. With him stepping out to smooth things over, the group of women could no longer make things difficult for Qin Feng. They muttered and dispersed.
Some went home, while others strolled around the foot of the mountain with the men, hoping that they would be lucky enough to meet one or two hares out hunting for food.
At the edge of the forest, Zhang Mancang was trying his best to put the tied firewood into the car. However, due to the inconvenience of one leg, it was very laborious.
Qin Feng went over and helped lift the other end of the firewood. After placing it on the cart, he used a hemp rope to help secure it.
"Thank you, Brother Qin."
Zhang Mancang thanked him honestly.
"What are you thanking me for?"
Qin Feng didn't mind.
"This is a small matter, but the tiger is a big deal."
Zhang Mancang lowered his voice and said," I heard what you said just now. I know you're not lying to them. The number of rabbits in the back mountain has indeed increased in the past two days. I saw a few today."
I don't understand what's going on. I was just thinking of asking my brother to come over tomorrow. Fortunately, you came over to remind me."
"You don't want to hunt rabbits?"
Qin Feng looked at Zhang Mancang in surprise.
Zhang Mancang's main job was to pick up dead branches from the forest behind the mountain, or cut some branches to dry his back down the mountain. It was not strange for him to find that there were suddenly more wild rabbits, but he was able to restrain the temptation and maintain his calm, which surprised Qin Feng.
" Of course I do." Zhang Mancang smiled." But my brother and I are both disabled people. If we really encounter a tiger or something, we will only die.
If the two of us are eaten by the tiger, this family will really not be able to survive."
"Mancang, you're a smart person."
Qin Feng helped to bundle the wood onto the wheelbarrow." Go back early. Don't come to the back of the mountain for the next few days."
On the other side, Lin Yunfang and the other two had also packed their things.
Zhang Mancang was in charge of the car, Lin Yunfang and her mother-in-law were on the left and right, and her sister-in-law was carrying a basket of wild vegetables. The few of them slowly descended the mountain.
Qin Feng's house was at the west end of the village, while Zhang Mancang's house was at the east end. The two families parted at the foot of the mountain.
After walking a short distance, Qin Feng was thinking about what he should buy after selling the rabbit in town the next day when a scream suddenly came from behind.
Looking back, the group of village women who were still indignant just now were now running away in all directions.
A black shadow dashed down from the mountain and headed towards Zhang Mancang and the others who were the closest.
" This is…a tiger?!"
Qin Feng's pupils constricted, and his heartbeat quickened!
Although he had long guessed that a tiger might have come to the back of the mountain, he still felt his scalp tingle when he saw it with his own eyes.
This tiger was too big. Not counting its tail, it was at least three meters long. Its head was bigger than a washbasin, and it weighed at least 500 pounds!
There was a wound on the tiger's back, and it was still bleeding. It was obvious that it had been attacked before. At this moment, it seemed very irritable and ran faster and faster.
His four limbs were strong and powerful, and he could cover a distance of four to five meters with a single leap.
The visual impact was much stronger than the tigers he saw in the zoo in his previous life!
Such a fierce tiger could definitely kill him with a single slap!
"Ah!"
Zhang Mancang's sister was scared out of her wits as she covered her head and screamed.
"Sister-in-law, run!"
Zhang Mancang was still calm. He threw down the wheelbarrow, shouted at Lin Yunfang, and ran away with his frightened sister and mother.
How could a human run faster than a tiger? Moreover, Zhang Mancang's legs were not convenient.
Realizing that the tiger was getting closer and closer, Zhang Mancang roared with red eyes and pulled out the chopper at his waist.
"Sister-in-law, take mother and Xiao Hua and leave first."
Zhang Mancang brandished his chopper and screamed as he limped to the other side.
The tiger was attracted by Zhang Mancang and turned to chase after him.
The sky was almost dark, and Zhang Mancang tripped and fell before he could run far.
Before he could get up, the tiger was already in front of him.
"Brother!"
Zhang Xiaohua was so scared that her face turned pale.
Zhang Mancang also closed his eyes in resignation.
However, at this moment, an arrow pierced through the air and accurately hit the tiger's left front leg.
It pierced through!
Thud!
The tiger's front legs gave way and it fell to the ground. It slid forward for five to six meters and stopped at Zhang Mancang's feet.
