Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 619 Killing the Tiger King

In order to prevent any more tigers from descending the mountain and causing harm to the villagers, Village Chief Yao led people to burn several bonfires outside the village this night, and organized a group of villagers to hold a vigil with gongs and drums.

Once they heard the howling of tigers and people on the hillside, the villagers drove them away with drums and gongs.

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 we do?" Village Chief Yao was exhausted.

Ji Xun looked at the sky, "Don't worry, Village Chief Yao, there is bound to be a heavy rain this morning. After the heavy rain washes away the wild boar blood in the valley, let's go up the mountain to drive it away again. They should slowly disperse." Of course he couldn't say anything about his plan to enter the tiger's den alone.

Village Chief Yao looked up at the clear sky: "Hey, will it rain this day?"

"Yes, just wait." Ji Xun replied affirmatively, he has experienced many battles on the battlefield, and seeing the weather is a common skill.

What Ji Xun said was right, after eating breakfast for an hour, a dark cloud came, lightning flashed and thundered, 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 is changing rapidly like this.

After the rain stopped, Ji Xun led the villagers up the mountain again with gongs and drums.

After entering the mountain, Ji Xun told the big guy to wait in a safe place, and he followed the scent with the little snowball and continued to go deeper into the valley.

An hour later, Xiaoxuetuan climbed to a mountain 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 little snow ball and went up to the top of the mountain with lightness kung fu. He saw a natural cave on the top of the mountain. In the cave lay a dozen mighty white-fronted tigers with eye-catching eyes.

Seeing that a human dared to break into their lair, the tigers showed their fierce faces and stood up slowly. "Roar~~Roar~~" One by one bared their sharp teeth, staring at their fierce eyes and waiting for an opportunity.

Suddenly one of them jumped up and bit Ji Xun's neck. Ji Xun pierced the tiger's neck with a pig-killing knife, killing it with one blow.

The Night King, whose kung fu is unfathomable, dealt with more than a dozen fierce tigers. He killed them all in the blink of an eye, and blood flowed into the cave.

Looking at the messy tiger carcasses, Ji Xun felt a pity, because just a dozen tiger skins can be sold for a lot of money.But if people know that he has killed more than a dozen tigers by himself, it is estimated that his name "Ji Xun" will soon be known to everyone.

After thinking about it, he brought up the biggest 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 towards the village before putting the tiger on the ground.

In the valley, the villagers saw that Ji Xun had not come out, and the more they waited, the more anxious they became.Some villagers couldn't sit still anymore, so they stood up abruptly.

"We can't just sit here and watch, we have to go into the valley to help, what if Mr. Ji encounters any danger?"

"Yes, he risked his life to eradicate tigers in our village. How can we do nothing?" "That's right, let's go into the valley."
The villagers stood up one after another and were about to go into the valley.

Jiang Qicheng hurriedly stopped them: "My brother-in-law has a sense of proportion in doing things. 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 the news."

"Yes, I also trust my brother-in-law." Jiang Qihang also said, "Our brother-in-law is not an ordinary person at first glance, and he will not do things that are not sure."

The villagers were undecided when a figure came out from the depths of the valley and waved at them, and they rushed into the valley excitedly.

"How's it going, brother-in-law." From a distance, Jiang Qicheng asked anxiously.

Ji Xun said calmly: "I have killed the king tiger, you follow me to drive forward with drums and gongs, the group of tigers has no leader." They will definitely scatter and run away. "

"Tiger King was killed? That's great." The villagers cheered and marched into the valley beating gongs and drums.
In the evening, the men carried the big tiger king down the mountain.It was thrown on the Pingping outside Jiang's house, and the whole village came to watch.

This tiger weighs six to seven hundred catties, even if it is dead, it is ferocious and terrifying. Its fierce eyes and sharp steel teeth seem to get up at any time and bite your head in one bite.

Everyone watched from a distance, and almost no one dared to approach.

Only Aunt Sun rushed over with her shoulder pole, beat and cried with all her might, "Give me back my yaoer, you ate my yaoer, I'm going to peel your skin, cram your tendons, and tear you up." A corpse in ten thousand pieces~~'
If the tiger is alive, beating it like this is tantamount to tickling it.

Even if it is dead at this moment, it will only vibrate twice when hit, as if hit on a stone.

Aunt Sun was tired of beating and scolding, so she was dragged back.

It took a long time for Village Chief Yao to regain his composure. Hearing that the tiger was killed by Ji Xun alone, his admiration for him is beyond words.

He didn't say much compliments, and asked Ji Xundao, "Mr. Ji, what should we do with this tiger?" Such a big tiger, I don't know how much it can sell outside.

"I'll take 50 taels of silver from this tiger." Du Anbang approached with a shy face.

As soon as he said this, the crowd was uproarious.

"50 taels? This is a tiger, King of the Mountain, how can it be so cheap?"

"That is, if tiger bones, tiger whips, and tiger skins are sold to wealthy people, they will all cost more than 50 taels, right?"

"50 taels? Can you buy 50 taels? The tiger skin alone is estimated to sell for 500 taels!"

After listening to everyone's discussion, Du Anbang said to Ji Xun with a playful smile: "Nephew and son-in-law, we are relatives. Logically, you should not accept me for 50 taels of silver. You should give it to my uncle."

"Isn't it?" Jiang Yingru also approached greedily, "You can't sell it for a good price, why don't you sell the whole one to us, 50 taels is enough, don't be too greedy."

As if he didn't hear what they said, Ji Xun said to the village chief, "Peel off the tiger's skin first, separate the meat and bones, and then sell them all."

"The money from the sale should be divided among the villagers. Every family has contributed a lot. Of course, Aunt Sun's family is relatively poor, so I will give her an extra ten taels and 20 taels."

Village Chief Yao waved his hands again and again.

"Well, how can I do this? You helped the village deal with such a big disaster. Everyone doesn't know how to thank you. How can they share the money from selling tigers?"

"I will ask everyone to help deal with it, and it will belong to your Jiang family after it is dealt with."

The villagers also agreed one after another. After all, there are only a small number of 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 came up with this proposal.

He heard from Jiang Qicheng that the villagers were afraid that it would be dangerous for him to go into the mountain. If they hadn't stopped him, everyone would have risked their lives to go into the valley to help.

So everyone is eligible.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingru ran over and sat astride the tiger.

"My niece and son-in-law are mentally ill, and what he said doesn't count. This tiger belongs to my Jiang family, and no one can take possession of it."

You must know that the tiger skin, tiger penis and tiger bones can be sold for at least a thousand taels in Jizhou City, and distributed to the villagers? Only a fool would do such a thing.

"Wow, Ah Xun, what's going on? Isn't the tiger dead yet? Why is the tail still moving?" Shen Yuan exclaimed, and Jiang Yingru was frightened when she heard this, and ran into the crowd.

Just two steps away, Mrs. Jiang hit her leg with a stick, "Why did I give birth to such a money-grubbing daughter like you? What a disgrace to my old Jiang family."

Jiang Yingru fell to the ground in pain, staring at Mrs. Jiang angrily.

"Father, why did you hit me? Did you get fooled by those two idiots too? Don't do anything stupid."

Old Mr. Jiang was so angry that he slapped her again and again, "Kill you money-grubbing girl, kill you money-grubbing girl, it's embarrassing."

After tidying up Jiang Yingru, Mrs. Jiang said to the village chief without doubt, "Just do what my grandson-in-law said, and deal with this tiger tonight, and sell all the valuable things, and share them together. .”

"Yes, that's what we mean too." Jiang Ming and Jiang Liang also came out to express their views.The village head kept nodding in admiration, and the villagers were even more grateful.

The onlookers cheered, "Oh~~ There is tiger meat to eat, there is tiger meat to eat~'

So everyone got busy under the leadership of the village butcher, and began to skin and debone the tiger.

Ji Xun couldn't bear the smell of blood all over his body, so he planned to go back to take a bath, but just as he walked to the back room, a carrier pigeon fluttered on his shoulder, which was a reply letter from the dark guard of Mo'an County.

After reading the letter, Ji Xun frowned.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yuan came over with hot water.

Ji Xun was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "My people have checked carefully, and Du Anbang has no problem. He went to the brothel after he arrived in Mo'an County that day. Yao'er was not abducted by him."
