"I'll go help Mancang with it. Cousin, you guys should also clean up and get ready to go home."
Wild vegetables account for most of the family's rations, and the past few days have been their peak harvest period, so Jin Feng has nothing to say.
I'm going to help Zhang Mancang load firewood into the car first, and then talk about the beasts when we get down the mountain.
"You have to go do some work first, and we'll go help Mancang later."
Lin Yunfang glanced at the crossbow on Jin Feng's waist and said.
After getting married, Jin Feng seemed to be a changed person. She changed her past habit of being lazy and lazy, which made her view of Jin Feng change.
"I just came to see you, nothing else."
"What are you doing with me?"
Lin Yunfang asked curiously.
"Let's talk about this later on the way back."
Jin Feng walked towards Zhang Mancang with his crossbow in hand.
Before we were even halfway there, we saw a group of angry people coming from the village.
"Jin Feng, why did you lie to us?"
The third aunt put her hands on her hips and was the first to attack.
"What did I lie to you about?"
Jin Feng was confused.
"You told us that tigers came from the back mountains. Didn't you lie to us?"
"I made it very clear to you this afternoon. Everything is just my speculation. Moreover, I didn't say it was a tiger. It could be other beasts."
Jin Feng couldn't laugh or cry.
"you saw it?"
"No."
"You're just talking nonsense without seeing me. Aren't you trying to scare everyone? I think you're just evil-minded and don't let us hunt rabbits. You don't even let us dig wild vegetables. You sincerely want to starve us to death!"
The third aunt opened fire violently at Jin Feng like a machine gun.
"I just think there may be danger. I want to remind you. If you want to believe it, then believe it. If you don't want to, forget it. Why are you howling with me?"
Being accused for no reason, Jin Feng became angry and pointed at the mountain behind: "You want to hunt rabbits, go ahead, did I stop you?"
"Give me a moment to calm down!"
The village chief, who came over after getting the news, panted and stood between the two people: "What's going on?"
"Village chief, you have to give us a review."
When the third aunt saw the village chief coming, she felt as if she had been greatly wronged, and told her story with tears and runny noses.
"Jin Feng, to judge whether there is a ferocious beast, you must either see it with your own eyes, or find footprints, hair, etc., at least you must see an animal bitten by a ferocious beast."
The village chief said: "You haven't found anything, so you can't just talk nonsense. If everyone listened to you and formed a tiger hunting team, but nothing happened in the end, wouldn't it be a delay?"
"Okay, I get it."
Jin Feng nodded helplessly.
Tigers are so ferocious that one or two villagers cannot deal with them, so once a tiger is found approaching the village, the young and strong will form a tiger hunting team, and other work will be delayed.
This is also the reason why Jin Feng was reluctant to say it at first.
"I believe that Jin Feng means well, but he just said the wrong thing. There is no need for everyone to hold on to him and let him go."
The village chief still had some authority, and when he came forward to reconcile with Xi Ni, all the women could no longer embarrass Jin Feng, so they dispersed muttering.
Some went home, while others wandered around the foot of the mountain with the men, hoping to be lucky enough to encounter one or two hares out foraging.
At the edge of the forest, Zhang Mancang was working hard to put the bundled dry firewood on the car, but it was very laborious due to the inconvenience of one leg.
Jin Feng went over and helped lift the other end of the firewood. After putting it on the car, he fixed it with hemp rope.
"Thank you, Brother Jin."
Zhang Mancang thanked him honestly.
"Why should I thank you for such a small thing?"
Jin Feng didn't take it seriously.
"This is a small matter, but a tiger is a big deal."
Zhang Mancang lowered his voice and said: "I heard what you just said, and I know you didn't lie to them. The number of rabbits in the mountain has indeed increased in the past two days. I saw several of them today.
I don't understand what's going on. I was just thinking about asking my brother to come over tomorrow. Fortunately, you came over to remind me."
"You don't want to hunt rabbits?"
Jin Feng glanced at Zhang Mancang in surprise.
Zhang Mancang's main job was to pick up fallen branches in the woods at the back of the mountain, or cut some branches to dry and carry back down the mountain. It was not surprising that he found that there were suddenly more hares, but he was able to resist the temptation and stay calm, which surprised Jin Feng.
"Of course I do," Zhang Mancang smiled: "But my brother and I are both disabled, and if we encounter a tiger or something, we will only die.
If the two of us are eaten by a tiger, this family will really be unable to survive."
"Mancang, you are a smart man."
Jin Feng helped bundle the wood onto the wheelbarrow: "Go back early, and don't come to the back mountain in the next few days."
On the other side, Lin Yunfang and the others also packed their things.
Zhang Mancang was holding the handle of the car, Lin Yunfang and her mother-in-law were holding the car on the left and right, and the sister-in-law was carrying a basket of wild vegetables. They slowly went down the mountain.
Jin Feng's family is at the west end of the village, Zhang Mancang's family is at the east end, and the two families split up at the foot of the mountain.
Not far away, Jin Feng was thinking about what he should buy after selling rabbits in the town tomorrow, when suddenly there was a scream from behind.
Looking back, the group of village women who were filled with indignation just now were all running away at the top of their lungs.
A black shadow rushed down from the mountain and flew towards the nearest Zhang Mancang and the others.
"This is...a tiger?!"
Jin Feng's pupils shrank and his heart beat rapidly!
Although I had already guessed that a tiger might be coming to the back mountain, my scalp was still numb when I saw it with my own eyes.
This tiger is so big, it is three meters long not counting its tail, its head is bigger than a washbasin, and it weighs at least over 500 kilograms!
There was a wound on the tiger's back and it was still bleeding. It had obviously been attacked before. It seemed very agitated and ran faster and faster.
His limbs are strong and strong, and he can reach as far as four or five meters in one leap.
The visual impact is much more powerful than the tigers I saw in the zoo in my previous life!
Such a fierce tiger can definitely kill itself with one slap!
"Ah!~~"
Zhang Mancang's sister was so frightened that she covered her head and screamed.
"Sister-in-law, run quickly!"
Zhang Mancang was still calm, threw down his wheelbarrow, shouted at Lin Yunfang, and ran away with his frightened sister and mother.
How could a human being outrun a tiger? What’s more, Zhang Mancang’s legs were inconvenient.
Seeing that the tiger was getting closer and closer, Zhang Mancang roared with red eyes and pulled out the hatchet from his waist.
"Sister-in-law, take mother and Xiaohua away first."
Zhang Mancang waved his hatchet, screamed strangely, and limped to the other side.
The tiger was attracted by Zhang Mancang and turned around to chase him.
It was almost dark, and Zhang Mancang stumbled not long after running.
Before I could get up, a tiger swooped in front of me.
"elder brother!"
Zhang Xiaohua was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Zhang Mancang also resigned and closed his eyes.
However, at this moment, an arrow shot through the air and accurately hit the tiger's left front leg.
Pierce directly!
Plop!
The tiger's front legs gave way and it fell to the ground. It slid forward five or six meters and stopped at Zhang Mancang's feet.
