"Young man, you've caused a big trouble, you'd better run away!" an old man advised kindly.
"That's right! Prince Zhong is not easy to mess with! Even if you are lucky enough to catch him, he will still not let you live if he is unhappy."
"that is."
Lu Yi bowed his hands to everyone: "Thank you for your kindness. I will satisfy King Zhong."
After hearing his words, everyone looked at him with even more sympathy.
King Zhong is not a kind person. Have fewer people died at his hands in recent years?
"Let's check for injuries first." Mu Siyu supported Lu Yi.
Not only did Lu Yi suffer from sprains on his feet, he also had many injuries on his body, including scratches from tigers and bites from tiger teeth. The most serious one was that he was accidentally injured by a dagger when he stabbed the tiger in the eye. The dagger was particularly special.
It was so sharp that it made a big gash on his palm, and blood flowed non-stop.
Doctor Li looked at Lu Yi's injuries and sighed: "You are injured like this, so you need to recover well during this time."
"What will happen if he doesn't have a good life and goes hunting in the mountains again?" Mu Siyu asked beside him.
Doctor Li frowned: "My brother no longer needs to see a doctor or take medicine. The burden on your shoulders is much lighter. Why do you still go hunting in the mountains? Why are you hunting when you are injured like this?"
"I understand." Lu Yi said, "Thank you very much."
Doctor Li didn't ask them why they were injured like this just after they left. Just by looking at the injury, he knew it was not an ordinary injury. He didn't want to ask the patient too much.
"It's good to rub it three times a day, and don't prescribe the medicine for internal use. The medicine is three-thirds poisonous. You didn't suffer internal injuries, it was all external injuries." Doctor Li gave the medicine to Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu agreed.
Lu Xuan paced anxiously at the door of the inn. When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly came over to greet them. When he saw the injuries on Lu Yi's body, he suddenly became anxious.
"I heard they said there was a tiger biting people over there on West Street, and I was worried about your safety. Look at it like this, we can't really encounter it, right?"
"Let's talk after we go in first," Lu Yi said.
After returning to the room, Mu Siyu told what happened.
Lu Xuan looked worried: "Brother is so injured, how can we capture the tiger? We have to capture it alive without any damage. That's not..."
Are you kidding?
Mu Siyu poured water from the side, put a glass for each of the brothers, and sat down with her chin in her hands and thought hard.
The matter has reached this point, there is no use complaining, there is no use worrying, we must find a way to solve it.
The loyal king is not easy to mess with. Since they have made a promise, they have to do it. As for what happens next, they can only try to deal with it.
If you want to capture a big tiger alive, you have to be stronger and bigger than that tiger. Even an uninjured Lu Yi would have a hard time doing it, let alone one who was injured like this.
"There are only ten days." Mu Siyu looked at Lu Yi: "Shall I go to Hubeicheng to call Brother Xia over for help?"
"From Hubei City to Suzhou City, it takes ten days at the fastest. Brother Xia's skills are indeed good, but I think it will be no problem for him to knock out a tiger. I'm afraid it won't be easy to capture him alive." Lu Yi
Said: "What's more, time is running out, and water far away cannot solve the fire nearby. If I think about it again, I can always find a way."
"If I had known I would have brought Brother Xia with me on this trip." Lu Xuan sighed softly.
"First we need to find a tiger. This tiger must be bigger and more powerful, otherwise King Zhong will not be satisfied. As for the other things, we can try the mechanism."
"Agency?" Lu Xuan asked, "What kind of agency?"
"Please enter the urn." Mu Siyu said: "No matter how ferocious a tiger is, it is just a wild beast and does not have human intelligence. We cannot match their strength and can only rely on wisdom."
"I originally planned to use medicine." Lu Yi said: "Mechanism... Then you have to find a master who knows how to use medicine. Such a master is harder to find than a tiger."
"I can."
Lu Yi shook his head: "No."
"Why not?" Mu Siyu frowned.
"The mechanism is not that easy to do. What if you get injured in the process?"
He had heard about mechanics, and they would inevitably have various accidents while working on mechanics, some of which could kill themselves.
Although he believed in her ability, he didn't want her to take the risk.
"Am I your wife? If so, this matter is non-negotiable and I must help." Mu Siyu said, "I'm going to do things first. You can first ask if there are any nearby mountains that are infested with wild animals.
But you can only inquire, and you are not allowed to make decisions without permission, otherwise I will leave directly and never talk to you again."
Lu Xuan glanced at Lu Yi: "Did you hear that? My sister-in-law is ignoring you."
Mu Siyu's cheeks turned red and she glared at Lu Xuan.
"Didn't you say that?" Lu Xuan said innocently. "Why are you staring at me?"
"Okay." Lu Yi said, "I promise you."
The loyal king loved wild beasts, and as long as there were wild beasts in the nearby mountains, his minions or those who wanted to curry favor with him had already "honored" him.
After several inquiries, we finally found traces of the tiger two days away from here.
A few people rented houses at the foot of the mountain and stayed temporarily.
Mu Siyu drew a beast trap, decided on one of them after discussing with Lu Yi, and began to collect materials to make it.
"Success or failure depends on this." Lu Xuan looked at the success of the animal trap.
There were voices from outside, and then there was a knock on their door.
Lu Xuan opened the door and saw many villagers outside, and everyone looked angry.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Do you want to kill our tiger god in the mountains?" The old man at the head said angrily: "If you want to take advantage of our tiger god, get out of our village immediately, we don't welcome you."
"Old man, that's not a tiger god, but a fierce tiger that can eat people!" Lu Xuan said anxiously.
"What kind of cannibal is not a cannibal? We have lived here for so long and have never seen it eat people. I heard people say that you are making cages and always running into the mountains, as if you are inquiring about something. It is most likely to hunt tigers.
I didn’t believe in God’s idea at first, but now it seems to be true.”
"Why do you say it is the tiger god?" Mu Siyu asked.
"It guards us and protects us. Isn't it a tiger god?" The old man sneered: "Get out of our village, or I'll be rude to you."
"Old man, you misunderstood." Mu Siyu said: "We just want to hunt wild boars, not some tiger god."
"Wild boar?" The old man was dubious.
"Yes, wild boar." Mu Siyu said very sincerely: "Our money is not enough. We want to headhunt a wild boar in exchange for more money, otherwise we will not be able to return home."
"Are you really not here for the Tiger God?"
"no."
"If I find out that you are lying, I will definitely not let you go." After the old man finished speaking, he said to the others: "You keep an eye on them. You can hunt wild boars, but you can't hunt tiger gods."
After the villagers left, Lu Xuan looked at Mu Siyu: "What should we do? Sister-in-law."
The villagers are so difficult to deal with. Even if the tiger is really caught, it may not be transported out.
