Chapter 317
The scholar himself did not notice that a strange thing happened on his way up the mountain. Wherever the scholar passed, insects, ants, birds and beasts all shunned him, as if the scholar was the most terrifying thing on the mountain.
The scholar quickly reached the top of the mountain, and a small town appeared in his sight.
The town looked quite lively, and the scholar was very happy. Wherever there was a town, there were inns, and where there were inns, there was food. After being hungry all night, the scholar felt that he would really starve to death if he didn't eat something.
Already.
But when the scholar thought that he no longer had any money, he felt very depressed.
Everything he had on his body was packed in that backpack, but the temple didn't know what happened. His backpack, along with everything in it, were all turned into ashes.
Fortunately, this was a mountain, so the scholar thought he could catch some game and go down the mountain, and maybe exchange it for some money and food.
After the scholar made up his mind, he began to prepare for hunting. It was strange to say that a bookworm who had never hunted in the mountains acted like an experienced hunter at this moment. He killed a tiger with his bare hands and killed two tigers.
It was only a jackal, but the scholar didn't feel the weight of the tiger, which was longer than him, so he easily carried the tiger and walked quickly down the mountain with the two jackals in his hand.
The scholar arrived at the foot of the mountain very quickly. Before he reached the town, he was surrounded by villagers watching the excitement. After learning that the tiger on the scholar's shoulders was killed on the mountain, the villagers clapped their hands and applauded.
"Okay, great. This big insect has eaten so many people down the mountain. It should have been dealt with long ago."
"And this money wolf has also come to the town and taken away many old people and children. It would be better if he were beaten to death. It would be better if he was beaten to death."
As soon as the scholar heard that the villagers said that the tiger and the jackal were both vicious beasts that brought trouble to the same party, he was embarrassed to tell everyone that in fact, he originally planned to sell the tiger and the jackal in exchange for some money and food to have a full meal.
The villagers were very excited, because if the tiger followed the jackal and was killed, many fewer people would die in the town in the future. Everyone thanked the scholar again and again. Finally, an older man suggested that everyone pool their money to kill the scholar.
The tiger that the scholar killed was bought by the jackal, and the hero must not suffer a loss.
This made the scholar feel embarrassed. He repeatedly refused and said that neither the tiger nor the jackal paid for it, so they just carried it down the mountain to the town and handed it over to everyone for disposal.
But the older man said it.
"You don't know something about this hero. The tigers and jackals on this mountain have been causing trouble to our town for a long time. The town has issued a reward as early as a year ago. Anyone who can kill a tiger or jackal will be rewarded.
Yes, now we are just giving you the reward you deserve, so don’t refuse anymore."
Hearing what the old man said, the scholar no longer refused. If he refused at this time, it would be more hypocritical. The scholar really needed a sum of money to find a restaurant in the town for a meal.
After taking the reward, the scholar left. He now felt unbearably hungry in his belly, and at that moment, the scholar actually had the urge to eat people. This terrible scholar was shocked, and he didn't know that he was
What's going on? Why do you have such an idea again?
I had to stay away from the crowd as quickly as possible to suppress the urge to eat people in my heart.
After the scholar left, some people looked at the old man who had just told the scholar that there was a reward in confusion, and asked: "Mr. Liu, our town has not issued such a reward. Why did you just give that reward?"
The scholar said that the town has issued a reward?"
But Mr. Liu laughed and said: "If I hadn't said that, the scholar would definitely not have taken the money, and he came down from the mountain, so he must have passed the temple. This scholar is not simple. He came
I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse to come to our town.”
After hearing Mr. Liu's words, one of them laughed disdainfully.
"Mr. Liu, this scholar is a living person just like us. What is there to be afraid of? Even if he came down from the mountain, it doesn't matter. Many of us will go there, especially the town next door to us.
For those who go to the temple, the temple is closer to them. Don’t they often go up the mountain to cut firewood and hunt.”
At this time, Mr. Liu said again: "It's true that we go up to the mountains to hunt and chop wood, but no one can kill a tiger and two jackals. And seeing the scholar's appearance just now, he killed those
The tiger was carried directly on his shoulders and he walked down the mountain with the jackal in his hand. The tiger is so heavy. If any of you can carry it on your shoulders and walk ten steps, then I will also give you a reward."
As soon as Mr. Liu said this, several young and strong people immediately wanted to try it, but it was difficult for them to pick up the tiger, let alone carry the tiger on their shoulders and walk forward a few steps.
If you don't, this is simply impossible.
Mr. Liu spoke again at this time.
"Don't try to lift this tiger now. Which one of you can lift these two big jackals with one hand? If you can lift this jackal flat like a scholar and walk 10 steps forward, then I will give you the reward."
Give them to you together."
As soon as the old man said this, several people wanted to go up and give it a try. Those who had not lifted the tiger just now thought that they could lift the jackal, so they came to the jackal and stretched out their hands to grab the two sides of the jackal.
They wanted to lift the jackal with one hand, but they used a lot of strength and could only barely lift the jackal. It was impossible to lift it up to shoulder level, even if it was barely possible.
Even if it is lifted, there is no way to move forward.
Seeing this scene, the old man shook his head again, and then laughed: "So you see, you can't even carry this tiger on your back, how can you carry this tiger on your shoulders and walk down the mountain? What's more, you can't even carry this tiger on your back.
Not to mention that he is carrying two jackals in his hands."
"So this scholar must be no ordinary person."
Mr. Liu shook his head and said nothing more. Instead, he looked at the leaving figure of the scholar with worry. After sighing, he turned around and left the crowd and walked towards the town.
Of course, everyone carried the tiger and the jackal to the town.
…
After the scholar entered the town, he quickly found a restaurant. This restaurant seemed a bit remote, but the scholar didn't pay much attention to it. This was the first restaurant he saw after entering the town, so it was simply in this restaurant.
