The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

Chapter 196 Fighting Tiger

When they reached halfway up the mountain, suddenly, everything was silent, as if all sounds had disappeared.

"Shh, something is following us." He Yue immediately discovered the problem and used his hands to block the people behind him. Others also immediately took defensive measures.

"Oh no, we are really going to be in trouble this time. Can you climb trees? If you climb up a tree temporarily, I don't know if you can escape." The old man also keenly noticed the problem, he looked at everyone and asked.

"It should be a big one, Miss Lu, you guys climb the tree first and we will deal with it." He Yue also agreed with the old man's opinion.

"Okay, Yunyi, Yunxi, let's go up quickly." Lu Linlang did not delay. While the others were helping to look around, they immediately found a few big trees nearby and climbed up.

After they climbed up the tree, Lu Linlang also saw what was following them. She saw a pair of eyes staring at them, and just one look at them was frightening.

"Be careful, it's a tiger." Lu Linlang was about to speak when He Yue spoke, and they all took out their weapons.

The old man was not as old as he used to be. When he saw that these young men were armed and looked quite strong, he climbed up the tree nimbly, put the bow and arrow on his back, and prepared to launch a sneak attack on the tiger from above.

"Ao!" The tiger's roar resounded throughout the mountains and forests, making people's scalps numb. Lu Linlang looked over and saw that pair of eyes like copper bells were shining in the dark night, and it was intimidating without even being angry. An ordinary person would have been scared to death.

"Let's encircle and suppress them together, be careful!" He Yue began to give orders on the ground, and Lu Zhan and Yun Can also stood together according to his orders.

The tiger walked over slowly, looked at the group of little people in front of it, and licked its paws with disdain.

Then, it rushed forward and headed straight towards He Yue, the most powerful one among them. Its claws were bigger than a human head. If one could not dodge in time when it swung its claws down, he would be torn to pieces.

Seeing this, Lu Linlang couldn't help but worry for He Yue.

Fortunately, He Yue had predicted the tiger's movements, so he moved sideways and was about to stab the tiger with his gun.

The others also rushed forward, but this tiger was obviously not so easy to deal with. Its jumping ability and agility had reached their peak, and its hunger made it determined to catch this group of people.

Soon neither side gained an advantage in the first round, and the tiger immediately launched a second attack.

"Ao!" Seeing that these people were not scared, the tiger pounced towards Lu Zhan again.

Lu Linlang didn't blink, fearing that something might happen to them. Fortunately, Lu Zhan was also very agile, and Yun Can also came to help, so the tiger did not succeed this time.

Lu Linlang looked at Yun Yi and Yun Xi, who were engrossed in watching something on another branch below her. Just as Lu Linlang was about to continue watching, she suddenly felt something light up beside them. Without notifying them in time, she immediately swung the sickle in her hand. The sickle hit something, and the thing suddenly fell down. It turned out to be a poisonous snake.

Yun Yi and Yun Xi heard the noise and saw the fallen sickle and poisonous snake. The snake was colorful. If it had just been bitten and there was a tiger below, there would be no time to save it.

"Sister, thank you." Yun Yi had just escaped from Shekou and was still in shock.

"It's okay. Fortunately they are over there, otherwise if I throw the sickle down, it will hurt someone." Lu Linlang was also glad that He Yue and the others had deviated from the area under the tree while fighting.

The tiger was tall and strong. He Yue and others under the tree had been draining its energy. When the opportunity was right, He Yue gave the order and the tiger was chopped down by them. The old man also shot an arrow at the tiger's butt from the tree. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Zhan stabbed the tiger in the neck with a gun, and the tiger was finally exhausted by them.

"It was a close call. The tiger's claws almost caught my hand." Lu Zhan said with a smile.

"Fortunately, we have more people, otherwise it would take a while longer." He Yue patted his shoulder to show encouragement.

Lu Linlang and others saw that the tiger was really motionless, and only after receiving He Yue's order did they come down from the tree. This was their first time to observe such a big tiger up close.

"This tiger's paw is bigger than my face. It's so powerful! This tiger is full of treasures. Let's transport it back now." Yunxi observed the tiger and kept clicking his tongue.

"Okay, let's take the tiger back now. With the tiger's body, I think no other wild animals will dare to cause trouble when we come to Qianlang Mountain again in the next few days."

In the village, the old woman saw that it was already dark and they had not returned yet. She was very worried, fearing that they had encountered some trouble.

Then they heard the roar of a tiger. The sound was so loud that it made people tremble. It had been a long time since they heard it. The old woman became even more worried, thinking that they must have encountered a tiger.

So she quickly went to the village chief for help and asked them to help rescue the people.

"I'll go call for help right away. We don't dare to confront the tiger head-on. I hope we can still see their bodies." The village chief also knew that encountering a tiger was very dangerous, and he couldn't help but feel sorry. Those young people seemed to have well-off families, but who would have thought they would be gone so soon.

When they gathered their men and just reached the outskirts of the forest, they suddenly saw He Yue and his group coming out carrying a tiger on sticks.

"Oh my God, you actually killed a tiger! Is this the one we just called? It's so big!" Everyone was shocked by the tiger. The villagers who had been nervous and afraid of encountering the tiger just now also ran over to watch.

When they heard that they were the ones who killed him, everyone was busy praising them.

However, they could not speak Mandarin, but only dialects, and had difficulty communicating with Lu Linlang and others. So they caught the old man and talked to him in a very fast pace, understanding the whole process.

Then he looked at a few people, all of whom gave him thumbs up and praised him. These young people really should not be underestimated. They were able to kill an adult tiger.

So at the old man's house, even though it was dark, no one went home. They all stayed there to watch the old man help dismember the tiger. Even the children came.

The tiger roar just now scared even the children in the village to tears. The adults' attitude towards this matter was to let them see with their own eyes what the tiger looked like, watch the tiger being cut into pieces, and face the fear.

This trick really worked. The children became very brave and were not afraid at all. They kept staring at the tiger in the old man's hand.

Everyone in the village knew that the tiger was killed by these young people. They couldn't afford to buy tiger meat, so they just joined in the fun.

Tiger meat is not something that ordinary people can eat, and the same goes for tiger blood. Eating too much will cause nosebleeds, so He Yue discussed it directly with everyone. Anyway, they needed to ask the people in the military camp for help. The weather was hot and tiger meat could not be stored, so it was better to send it to them. As for the tiger bones and tiger skins, the old man also helped when he was hunting tigers. They gave the old man some silver money as a way to buy the tiger meat that should be given to him.

The old man waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't help much at all. Even without it, the tiger was no match for the young people, so he didn't want anything.

It was only after Lu Linlang persuaded him again and again that he accepted the money.
