The tiger was hit in the leg and became even more agitated. It raised its right front paw and slapped at Zhang Mancang.
Zhang Mancang was so scared that his face turned pale. He rolled on the ground and rolled down the slope for five to six meters.
The tiger roared angrily and used its remaining three legs to get up and continue chasing.
Whoosh!
Another arrow flew over and hit the left hind leg.
Both of its left legs were pierced by the arrows. The tiger immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Even so, the tiger was still ferocious. Its two right legs flailed and dug out two large pits on the ground.
The roar was deafening, scaring the faces of the village women.
Qin Feng held the crossbow and shot another arrow at the tiger's head from 20 meters away.
With an arrow in its head, the tiger gradually stopped struggling.
Regardless of whether it was his previous life or this life, this was the first time Qin Feng had faced a fierce tiger.
He didn't feel it when he was highly nervous just now, but now that the tiger was dead, Qin Feng realized that his heart was beating like a drum, and his hands holding the crossbow were trembling.
Most of the women who had been clamoring a moment ago were so scared that their legs went weak. They sat on the ground and trembled.
They were still alright, but Zhang Mancang, who had strolled around the entrance of the King of Hell's Palace, was even worse. His butt was wet, and he sat on the ground trembling non-stop. His teeth were chattering, and he was obviously frightened.
"My son!"
Zhang Mancang's mother ran over and dragged Zhang Mancang to the side. After confirming that her son was fine, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Feng.
Since her mother was kneeling, Lin Yunfang and her sister-in-law didn't dare to stand and quickly followed suit.
Qin Feng wasn't used to the ancient people's kowtowing ceremony, especially when the other party was an old man. He quickly reached out to pull the Zhang family's mother." Auntie, don't be like this. You're kowtowing to me at such an old age. Isn't that reducing my lifespan?"
"Little brother Jin, this is a life-saving grace. You can afford it!"
" I'll set up a Longevity Monument for you when we get back," the old lady cried." I'll put it together with the ancestral tablets and worship it for the rest of your life!"
"No! You can't!"
Qin Feng and the village chief who had rushed over finally pulled the Zhang family up.
Seeing that the tiger had been killed, the women gathered their courage and surrounded it.
In this chaotic world, everyone worshipped the strong.
No matter how Qin Feng was in the village before, everyone looked at him differently now.
Qin Feng had killed a ferocious tiger in front of them and saved Zhang Mancang. This made these women feel as if they were dreaming.
However, the tiger lying beside them reminded them that this was not a dream.
" Jin…Qin Feng, you're really amazing. You killed such a huge tiger by yourself!"
Xiao Yu stared at Qin Feng with sparkling eyes.
Which young girl didn't yearn for love? Qin Feng had been studying since he was young and had not been through the wind and rain. His appearance was naturally not something that other farm boys could compare to.
Not only Xiao Yu's eyes were sparkling, the other girls of the right age or women with girls at home also looked at Qin Feng with the same gaze.
Previously, no girl was willing to marry because she was afraid that she would starve to death.
But now, they saw another side of Qin Feng.
If he could even kill a tiger, how could he not feed his family?
If she married the tiger hero, who would dare to bully her in the village in the future?
Third Aunt, who had taken the lead to attack Qin Feng, felt her face burning.
"Lil…Lil Feng, I was wrong just now…"
Third Aunt took the initiative to apologize. Qin Feng was too lazy to lower himself to the level of a village old woman. He waved his hand and said," It's okay, Aunt. It's all in the past."
"Yes, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore."
"Good job!" The village chief patted Qin Feng's shoulder and laughed heartily. Haha, our Haijiao Village has also produced a tiger fighting hero. Let's see who dares to look down on us in the future!"
The surrounding Guanjiawan and Tianjiawan were all clans with the same surname. Haijiao Village was a pitiful village that had gathered together because of the war and famine. They came from all over the world, so they were naturally not as united as those clans. Therefore, Haijiao Village was often bullied by other villages.
Even the horse bandits had to collect an extra two catties of grain from each family in Haijiao Village.
Now that Haijiao Village had a tiger hero, the other villages would have to think twice before bullying them.
After all, every tiger hero was not a simple person. They were either highly skilled heroes or old hunters who were good at creating traps. None of them were easy to provoke.
...
At the foot of the mountain, Guan Hanyan had been worried. After washing the dishes, she went out to look for Qin Feng.
As soon as he left the village, he heard the tiger roar.
When she came back to her senses, she did not care about her fear and ran crazily towards the back of the mountain.
The sky was already dark, and Qin Feng was surrounded by people. Guan Hanyan looked around and couldn't find Qin Feng's figure. Suddenly, she felt that all the strength in her body had been sucked out. She sat on the ground and shouted heartbreakingly," Boss!..."
"Here, here!"
Qin Feng heard Guan Hanyan's voice and quickly squeezed through the crowd." Didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why are you here?"
"Boss, are you alright?"
Guan Hanyan, who had always been shy, acted as if she didn't see the people around her. She got up and rushed to Qin Feng's side, hugging his arm.
It was as if she was afraid that he would fly away if she let go.
"I'm fine."
Qin Feng felt a warmth in his heart." It's just a tiger. I killed it with two arrows."
After saying that, he pulled Guan Hanyan to squeeze through the crowd and pointed at the tiger on the ground proudly.
Guan Hanyan could tell at a glance that the arrow that was stuck in the tiger's head was indeed Qin Feng's.
It was only then that Guan Hanyan realized that all the women around her were looking at her with ambiguous expressions.
She let go of Qin Feng's arm, her pretty face blushing.
" Qin Feng's family. Your man is amazing. You'll be blessed in the future."
"It's different after marriage. You can kill tigers after becoming a man." Third Aunt teased.
"Auntie, don't say anymore. Hanyan is thin-skinned. If she cries from you later, I'll have to coax her."
Qin Feng noticed that Guan Hanyan was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head into her clothes. He smiled and shielded her behind him.
"Yo, yo, yo, you're protecting me just like that?"
"You're from Qin Feng's family, what's there to be embarrassed about? We're all happy for you that your boss killed the tiger."
"I think you're jealous!"
" So what if I'm jealous? Tigers are worth a lot of money. There's even a reward for sending them to the county government. Aren't you jealous?"
"Qin Feng's family is really lucky."
Many women looked at Guan Hanyan with envy.
In this era, the status of women was low. Men could hit and scold as they wanted. There were very few people like Qin Feng who protected his wife.
The most important thing was that Qin Feng killed the tiger alone. Whether it was the money from selling the tiger or the reward from the government, it was all his.
This was a large sum of money. If he spent it sparingly, he would not have to worry about it for the next few years or even decades.
Without a mother-in-law to suppress her, the head of the family was a scholar who knew how to care for others. She suddenly received such a large sum of money…
It would be strange if the other women in the village didn't envy Guan Hanyan.
