In order to prevent another tiger from coming down the mountain and causing harm to the villagers, village chief Yao led people to burn several bonfires outside the village that night, and organized a group of villagers to hold vigil with gongs and drums.
Once they heard the howling of the tiger rash people from the hillside, the villagers beat gongs and drums to drive them away.
Early the next morning, Village Chief Yao came to Jiang's house with dark circles under his eyes to discuss countermeasures with Ji Xun.
"These tigers have tasted the sweetness. I'm afraid they won't leave here for a while. What should I do?" Village Chief Yao was exhausted.
Ji Xun looked at the sky and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief Yao. Look at the weather. There will be a heavy rain this morning. Once the heavy rain washes away the wild boar blood in the valley, we can drive them up the mountain again and they should slowly disperse."
Naturally, he couldn't tell anyone about his plan to break into the tiger's den alone.
Village Chief Yao looked up at the clear sky: "Hey, will it rain today?"
"Yes, just wait." Ji Xun replied firmly. He had experienced many battles on the battlefield, and looking at the weather was a common skill.
Ji Xun was right. An hour after breakfast, a dark cloud came over, lightning flashed and thunder came, and heavy rain poured down.
The rain stopped after about half a stick of incense, and the sky began to clear up again. The weather in spring changes so quickly.
After the rain stopped, Ji Xun led the villagers up the mountain again with gongs and drums.
After entering the mountain, Ji Xun told everyone to wait in a safe place, while he followed the smell with a small snow ball and continued deeper into the valley.
An hour later, the small snowball climbed towards a mountain peak covered with thorns and strange rocks. It seemed that the tiger's den was right on top of this mountain.
Ji Xun picked up the small snow ball and used Qinggong to go up to the top of the mountain. He saw a natural cave on the top of the mountain. In the cave lay more than a dozen powerful and eye-catching white-fronted tigers.
Seeing that a human dared to break into their lair, the tigers showed their ferocious looks and slowly stood up. "Roar~~roar~~" They all bared their sharp teeth and stared with fierce eyes, waiting for the opportunity.
Suddenly one of them jumped up suddenly and bit Ji Xun's neck. Ji Xun stabbed the tiger's neck with a butcher's knife, killing it with one blow.
The Night King, whose kung fu was unfathomable, was really incompetent against a dozen tigers. He killed them all in the blink of an eye, and the cave became a river of blood.
Looking at the scattered tiger carcasses, Ji Xun felt regretful. Just a dozen tiger skins could be sold for a lot of money. But if people knew that he had killed more than a dozen tigers by himself, Ji Xun would probably become famous very quickly.
Everyone knows it.
After thinking about it, I picked up the largest male tiger and went down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, he took off his blood-stained outer clothes, cleaned his face, hands and butcher's knife, and then walked some distance toward the village before leaving the tiger on the ground.
In the valley, the villagers saw that Ji Xun had not come out, and they became more and more anxious as they waited. Some villagers could not sit still and stood up Huo Di.
"We can't just sit here and watch, we have to go into the valley to help. What if Mr. Ji encounters some danger?"
"Yes, he risked his life to eradicate the tiger problem in our village. How can we not use any strength?" "That's right, let's go into the valley.'
The villagers stood up one after another and started to go into the valley.
Jiang Qicheng hurriedly stopped them: "My brother-in-law is very measured in what he does. He said he can do it alone, so he can definitely do it. We'd better listen to him and sit here and wait for news.'
"Yes, I also believe in my brother-in-law." Jiang Qihang also said, "At first glance, our brother-in-law is not an ordinary person and will not do anything uncertain."
Just as the villagers were making up their mind, a figure came out from the depths of the valley and waved to them, and they all ran excitedly into the valley.
"How's it going, brother-in-law?" Jiang Qicheng asked anxiously from a distance.
Ji Xun said calmly: "I have killed the Tiger King. You follow me and beat the gongs and drums to drive me forward. If the tigers are leaderless, they will definitely scatter and escape."
"The Tiger King has been killed? That's great." The villagers cheered and then marched into the valley beating gongs and drums.
In the evening, the men carried the big tiger down the mountain. It was thrown on the ground outside Jiang's house, and the whole village came to watch.
This tiger weighs six to seven hundred kilograms. Even if it is dead, it makes people feel ferocious and terrifying. Its fierce eyes and teeth as sharp as steel blades seem to be ready to climb up at any time and bite your head into pieces.
Everyone watched from a distance, and almost no one dared to get close.
Only Aunt Sun rushed over with a pole, beating her with all her strength and crying, "Give me back my Yaoer. If you eat my Yaoer, I will peel off your skin, cramp your tendons, and kill you."
Shattered into thousands of pieces~~'
If the tiger were alive, beating it like this would be tantamount to tickling it.
Even if it is dead at this moment, it will only vibrate twice if hit, as if it were hit on a stone.
Aunt Sun was tired of being beaten and scolded, so she was pushed back.
It took village chief Yao a long time to regain his composure. Hearing that the tiger was killed by Ji Xun alone, he had no words to express his admiration for him.
Without saying too much compliments, he asked Ji Xundao, "Mr. Ji, what should I do with this tiger?" I wonder how much money such a big tiger could be sold outside.
"I took fifty taels of silver from this tiger." Du Anbang came over with a shy face.
As soon as he said this, the crowd was in uproar.
"Fifty taels? This is a tiger, King of the Mountain, how can it be so cheap?"
"That's right, if tiger bones, tiger whips, and tiger skins are sold to rich people, they will cost more than fifty taels each, right?"
"Fifty taels? Can you buy fifty taels? That tiger skin alone will probably cost five hundred taels!"
After listening to everyone's discussion, Du Anbang said to Ji Xun with a playful smile: "Niece-in-law, we are relatives. Logically speaking, you should not accept fifty taels of silver from me. You should give it to my uncle."
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Yingru also came over with a greedy look on her face, "You can't get a good price even with it, so why not sell it to us whole? Fifty taels is enough, don't be too greedy."
As if he didn't hear what they said, Ji Xun said to the village chief: "First peel off the tiger skin, separate all the meat and bones, and then sell everything."
"The money earned from the sale should be divided among the villagers. Every household contributes. Of course, Aunt Sun's family is relatively poor, so I will give her an extra ten or twenty taels."
Village Chief Yao waved his hands repeatedly.
"W-how is this good? You helped the village deal with such a big disaster, and no one knows how to thank you. How can we share the money from selling the tiger?"
"I will ask everyone to help deal with it. Once it is dealt with, it will all belong to your Jiang family."
The villagers also agreed. After all, there are only a few villains who are greedy for money, and most of them are people who know how to repay their kindness.
Of course, that's why Ji Xun made this suggestion.
He heard from Jiang Qicheng that the villagers were afraid that he would be in danger if he entered the mountains. If they had not stopped him, everyone would have risked their lives to go into the valley to help.
So everyone is eligible for points.
When Jiang Yingru heard this, she ran over and sat astride the tiger.
"My niece-in-law is mentally ill, and what he says does not count. This tiger belongs to my Jiang family, and no one can possess it."
You must know that these tiger skins, tiger whips and tiger bones can be sold for at least a thousand taels in Jizhou City and distributed among the villagers? Only a fool would do such a thing.
"Wow, Ah Xun, what's going on? Is the tiger not dead yet? Why is its tail still moving?" Shen Yuyu exclaimed. Jiang Yingru was so frightened after hearing this that she peeed and crawled towards the crowd.
As soon as she took two steps, Mrs. Jiang slapped her on the leg with a stick, "Why did I give birth to a daughter who is so greedy for money like you? It's really an embarrassment to the Jiang family."
Jiang Yingru fell to the ground in pain and stared at Old Mrs. Jiang angrily.
"Dad, why did you hit me? Were you also fooled by those two fools? Don't do anything stupid."
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she slapped her several times, "I'll beat you to death for being a money-grubbing girl. I'll beat you to death for being a money-grubbing girl. It's embarrassing."
After cleaning up Jiang Yingru, Old Man Jiang said to the village chief, "Just do as my grandson-in-law said, we will deal with this tiger tonight, sell all the valuables, and share it with everyone." ."
"Yes, we mean the same thing." Jiang Ming and Jiang Liang also came out to express their opinions. The village chief kept nodding in admiration, and the villagers were even more grateful.
The children who were watching cheered, "Oh~~ There is tiger meat to eat, there is tiger meat to eat~'
So everyone, led by the village butcher, got busy and started skinning and deboning the tiger.
Ji Xun couldn't stand the smell of blood all over his body anymore, so he planned to go back to take a shower. As soon as he walked to the back room, a carrier pigeon fluttered and landed on his shoulder. It was a reply letter from the Mo'an County secret guard.
After reading the letter, Ji Xun frowned.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yuyu came over carrying hot water.
Ji Xun was stunned for a moment and said softly: "My people have investigated carefully and found that there is nothing wrong with Du Anbang. He went to a brothel after arriving in Mo'an County that day. Yao'er was not abducted by him.'
