Late at night, Lu Yi opened his eyes, looked at Mu Siyu who was sleeping next to him, and quietly got out of bed.
He stood at the window and looked outside, and heard a faint snoring sound. The person who made the sound was none other than the villagers who were watching them.
The rented house had a back door, and the back door led in another direction. He flexibly walked out of the back door and closed the door quietly.
When Mu Siyu woke up, the place next to her was already cold.
There was no Lu Yi in the yard or in the kitchen. She thought that Lu Yi had gone off to catch the tiger on his own initiative. When she saw that the trap was still there, she felt a little relieved.
"Uncle, where is your brother?" Mu Siyu asked Lu Xuan quietly.
Lu Xuan shook his head: "I don't know! Is he not there? Is the animal trap still there?"
"Yes." Mu Siyu glanced at the villagers outside: "There is someone guarding the door. He probably didn't go out through the front door, but probably through the back door."
I don't know what to do anymore.
"Ho! Roar!" The roar of the tiger came from the forest.
The villagers watching outside heard the sound and looked nervous.
"What's going on?"
"Are those foreigners going up the mountain?
"Let's go! Go in and take a look!"
Mu Siyu didn't wait for them to break in, opened the door directly, and said in an impatient tone: "What are you doing?"
"Where's your man?"
"Going to catch wild boar."
"Wild boar? Who are you coaxing? Why do we hear the tiger?"
"How do I know?" Mu Siyu looked dissatisfied.
"Don't talk nonsense to her here and inform the village chief immediately."
The two villagers guarding the door left.
Mu Siyu relaxed and began to worry about Lu Yi's condition.
He really went up the mountain.
He was injured, how could he go up the mountain alone?
When the villagers learned that the foreigner had gone up the mountain, the tiger barked a few times, and each one angrily rushed to the foot of the mountain with forks, knives, and other things at home. They only waited for the foreigner to touch the things in their village.
There will be a fierce battle today.
"Come down."
I vaguely saw a figure, and that person was carrying something big.
Could it be that he really killed the tiger?
The villagers watched grimly as the figure got closer and closer.
As the man appeared in their sight, and when they saw clearly what he was carrying, they all relaxed.
"It's not a tiger!"
"It turns out he really went to kill the wild boar."
What Lu Yi was carrying was not a tiger, but a wild boar. The blood of the wild boar dripped everywhere, and the place he walked turned into a bloody road.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yi asked when he saw the fierce looks of the villagers.
"Did you meet a tiger in the mountains?"
"No." Lu Yi shook the wild boar on his shoulder: "I was injured to begin with. If I encountered such a big insect, would I still be alive?"
"That's true."
Not everyone can kill a tiger.
The villagers dispersed.
As long as it's not a tiger.
Lu Yi carried the wild boar back to his temporary residence.
When the uncle and sister-in-law saw that Lu Yi really carried back a wild boar, their eyes were full of surprise.
Mu Siyu's eyes stayed on Lu Yi's injured body. When she saw blood oozing from several bandaged areas, she knew that the wound was open.
"It's really life-threatening." Mu Siyu was worried and angry at the same time.
Lu Yi looked outside, and sure enough, there were villagers following him to monitor him.
"Madam, help me bandage the wound." Lu Yi threw the wild boar in the yard: "We will transport the wild boar to the city later, and then we will have money to go home."
Lu Yi was covered in blood. Now he couldn't tell which was his blood and which was the wild boar's blood. He had to wash away the blood on his body before Mu Siyu could bandage his wound.
"Brother, why are you..."
Lu Xuan didn't finish his words and shut up when he saw Lu Yi's hint.
Lu Yi cleaned himself first, then fetched water to rinse the wild boar, then opened the door and said to the villagers outside: "Does anyone in the village have an ox cart? I would like to rent one."
"We definitely have oxcarts in our village, but we don't rent them to outsiders."
Mu Siyu pulled out the hairpin from her head: "I mortgaged it here, can I rent it?"
Lu Yi frowned and looked at Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu said: "I know this was given to me by my husband, but we don't have to pay for it now. We can only use it as a mortgage first. When we return the ox cart, they will return it to me."
She told the villagers that they wanted to hunt wild boars and sell them to make money, but they couldn't take too much money now, otherwise the lie would be broken.
"Okay!"
They rented an ox cart from the village, moved the wild boar to the cart, and then the three of them left the village.
Now that we are far away from the village, our informants have been withdrawn, and we finally have freedom of speech.
"Now that the wild boar is here, it's equivalent to having a financial burden. If you go back again, you won't find a reason." Lu Xuan said.
"No need to go back." Lu Yi said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Mu Siyu looked at him: "Are you saying that while there is still time, find another tiger again?"
"There is no tiger bigger or more fierce than this one within hundreds of miles. Did you know that this tiger has been raised by the villagers for more than ten years. They feed it with a large number of livestock and livestock every year. The villagers say it can't
Of course it bites people, because they feed it well and it is never hungry, so of course it won't bite people."
"Is this tiger raised by the villagers?"
"Um."
"Why raise tigers? Don't they know that raising tigers will lead to disaster?"
"Don't worry about it, I can deal with this tiger." Lu Yi said, "Just wait for my good news at the inn."
Lu Yi drove the ox cart back to Suzhou City.
He settled Mu Siyu and Lu Xuan and drove away in the ox cart.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Yi and said to Mu Siyu, "Sister-in-law, do you really think my brother can solve it?"
"The look in his eyes tells me that he has almost solved this matter." Mu Siyu said, "I believe in his ability."
Lu Yi drove the ox cart to Prince Zhong's Mansion.
Not long after, the servants of Prince Zhong's Mansion let him in, and he drove the ox cart to Prince Zhong's Xiaoyaoyuan.
The so-called Xiaoyaoyuan is the place where King Zhong feeds wild beasts. There are many large cages here, and there is a wild beast in each cage. There are five tigers alone.
The beasts must have been hungry for a long time, and when they saw a human being appear, they roared wildly.
King Zhong sat on a chair, and his maid fed him grapes.
When Lu Yi entered the door, he raised his eyelids and took a look. When he saw the wild boar on the ox cart, his eyes were as cold as ice.
"How brave you are!" King Zhong said viciously: "How dare you play tricks on me! Come here, throw him into the cage and feed him to Dahei."
After hearing what Prince Zhong said, Lu Yi calmly said, "My lord, don't you want to hear my purpose? Your lord wants to kill me. It won't be too late to kill me after hearing this."
"Oh, I would like to hear how you plan to argue." Fan Yuanxi sneered.
