It is said that back then, the three-year-old Su family was very young and went into the mountains with a group of hunters to hunt tigers.
As a result, not only did they fail to kill the tiger, but the people who went with him to fight back suffered heavy casualties.
Su Laosan managed to save his life, but he injured his leg and became a cripple.
Because he could not accept the reality that he had become disabled, Su Laosan's personality changed drastically, and later he quietly left home without any news.
At this time, when the village chief mentioned Phoenix Mountain, Old Man Su felt a surge of hatred in his heart.
If it weren't for the tiger on Phoenix Mountain, how could his third child become like that?
"Hit the tiger!" The little sugar baby suddenly waved his fist and said in a milky voice.
Old Man Su: "..."
My heart moved.
Seeing the innocent look of the little sugar baby, the village chief couldn't help but reach out and touch the little sugar baby's head, and said with a wry smile: "It would be great if I could really kill the tiger."
Old Man Su's eyes flashed, and he said: "Village Chief, although the food in our village has to be handed over, it cannot be handed over in vain."
"What do you think we should do?" the village chief asked.
Of course, he would not let the villagers hand over the food for free.
"In exchange, let the county government organize people to go into the mountains to kill tigers!" Old Man Su said with a fierce expression.
village head:"……"
He hesitated for a moment.
"Will the county magistrate agree?" The village chief said uncertainly: "In the past few years, the Yamen is not aware of the evil tigers on Fenghuang Mountain, but they have never asked about it. Now..."
"We must intervene now and we must take care of it! Otherwise, we will not hand over the food!" Old Man Su said with certainty.
"This..." The village chief still hesitated.
"Village Chief, think about it, as long as the tigers in Fenghuang Mountain are removed, even if there is a famine, the people in the village will not have no way to survive."
"Moreover, we are not the only village at the foot of the mountain. People in other villages will also benefit..."
Old Man Su kept up his efforts and never admitted that he was suspected of avenging public and private revenge. He looked completely considerate of the villagers.
Finally, Old Man Su said again: "The yamen organized a large number of people to go up the mountain together. No matter how ferocious the beast is, one person and one fist can kill it!"
The little sugar baby appropriately waved his little fist again, "beat the tiger... beat the tiger..."
The village chief's eyes turned back and forth on Old Man Su and Little Sugar Baby. He knocked his pipe and pot and said, "Okay! Let's do it like this!"
In the past, there was nothing we could do to deal with that beast. First, everyone was frightened, and second, people's hearts were divided.
As long as they are hungry, no one wants to risk their lives by going into the mountains to provoke tigers, lest they die from their mouths.
Things are different now. People are starving to death, and people are dying on both sides. It is better to go into the mountains and take a gamble.
In this way, if the yamen takes the lead in organizing manpower, many people will definitely respond.
What’s more——
The village chief's eyes fell on the little sugar baby.
I don’t know why, but looking at the little girl, I felt that the tiger hunting thing was reliable!
Inexplicably, I gained confidence!
**
Soon, the gong in the village rang again.
The village chief summoned all the men, women, and children in the village and announced his plan to donate food.
Sure enough, before the village chief finished speaking, the villagers were in a frenzy.
"Why?! I can't even open the pot at home. I'm just waiting for the new rice to be put into the pot!"
"My family is still waiting for the grain harvest to be exchanged for some money to give our son a wife!"
"That's right! Finally, the crops are growing well this year, and the price of food is expensive. I just hope that I can save a lot of money this year..."
"Whoever wants to be friends with you can be friends with me! Anyway, my family doesn't want to be friends with you! I'm going to build a shack in the fields now, and from now on I'll have food and shelter in the fields!"
"Yes! My family is also going to build a shack..."
…
For a time, the villagers were shouting and angry, clamoring to move to their own land.
Old Man Su coughed and said calmly: "Can you save food by building a shack? During the drought twenty years ago, the refugees gathered into bandits, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, and bloodbathed many villages.
?”
"We, the people of Daliushu Village, took our families to the Phoenix Mountain to escape the disaster. What about now?"
When Old Man Su said this, he paused with a heavy face, and then said: "The whole county knows that our village has food. If banditry really breaks out, our Daliushu Village will be the first to suffer! When the time comes, everyone will
Where else do you want to hide?"
The noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
People looked towards Phoenix Mountain in the distance.
By some coincidence, a tiger roar came from Fenghuang Mountain at the right time.
The roar shook the forest, and the entire Phoenix Mountain seemed to shake.
Everyone's expressions became stern, all the light in their eyes was extinguished, and expressions of horror appeared on their faces.
