Chapter 37 The Tiger Enters the Village
"There are tigers, there are tigers!"

"Run!"

Brother Song Hailong looked at me and I looked at you, looking at the crazy people, standing on the spot.

"Hai Long, do you also want to fetch water?"

Liu Dahu also backed away with a bucket in a panic, "Don't go there yet, there are tigers in this mountain."

"There are tigers!"

Song Hailong was taken aback and recalled what Yue Yatou had said before, saying that there was definitely something wrong with dividing the village. They also said at the time that she was overthinking.

Now it seems that this girl was right!

"Son of a bitch, you're an indifferent person!"

Song Haitao angrily cursed that since there was no suitable place, the money should be returned to them, and they might as well go elsewhere.

"Stop talking about this now, go back quickly!"

Liu Dahu looked worried. Just when he and a group of people arrived at the river carrying buckets, they saw the tiger eating another refugee.

This, this is too scary!

I thought that the country had won the war, the monarch was well-governed, and good days were just around the corner. Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen.

Mrs. Song and Song Jinyue waited for a long time, but saw the two brothers coming back one after another. There was not a drop of water in the bucket. Song Haitao came in cursing.

"Second uncle, what's going on?"

As soon as Song Jinyue saw their expressions, she knew that things were not simple.

"Girl Yue really hit the mark."

After experiencing too many storms, Song Hailong is now used to it, and there is not much fluctuation in his words.

"There are wild beasts in the mountains, and someone has been eaten!"

"Is this still something humans do?" Mrs. Song was furious. Even if they were resettled in a remote village with poor land, it would be great!
They don't seek any wealth, they just want their family to be ordinary and live a safe life. Is it so difficult?
"Grandma, don't be angry yet!"

Song Jinyue comforted her. She was not afraid of those wild beasts. She was only worried about whether they would enter the village. She had some abilities, but she still had to practice and deal with future time and space fusion crises, so she could not guard everyone all the time.

If you go into the mountains to kill wild beasts, occasionally one or two will be fine. Killing them directly is destroying the ecology and will be punished by space. The demon tree is an exception. It belongs to an invading race from another world and can be killed at will.

"What should we do? Why don't we go to the Yamen to make a fuss?"

At this moment, everyone went out and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"I'm afraid that the trouble will be in vain. In the end, I will be charged with disobeying discipline and gathering a crowd to cause trouble."

"That's right. Since these bitches dare to do this, they must have a back-up plan. There's no point in making a fuss."

"Or, let's go!"

"That's not right. Didn't those government officials say that if we stay here, we have already registered, and if we leave, we will be considered as illegal households? Besides, we have no money anymore!"

No one in Stone Village wanted to leave. After all, the weather was getting colder and colder every day, and they didn't have much food. It would be safer here if they didn't go to the mountains.

The rest of the refugees also hesitated. They really couldn't afford to leave. If they left now, they would have no money and no food. If they formed a gang and became thieves, they would face being suppressed sooner or later.

If you stay here, you can at least go to the county town once a few days to collect relief food, and you can barely survive. As long as you survive until the spring of next year, you will be victorious.

"Everyone, please don't go near that mountain from now on, and be careful when you go out."

After discussing for a long time, no countermeasures were found, and everyone was frustrated.

In this way, everyone stayed in Ping An Village in an uneasy mood.Song Hailong and Song Haitao waited in line for a long time before they successfully fetched two buckets of water and carried them back. Then everyone started cleaning the house.

After some cleaning, the messy house looked much better. At least there was no dust and those pesky cobwebs were gone.

After placing the big pot at home on the stove, Song Hailong avoided the scene of the incident and went to a farther place to collect firewood.

But he was still worried. After quickly picking up some broken branches and leaves in a sack, he didn't dare to stay and hurried home.

Mrs. Song was washing the pot for cooking. There were still a few sweet potatoes and some old rice left at home. She cooked them in the pot and the family had a simple dinner.

Xu Tiansheng stood pitifully at the door of Song's house, not daring to come in.

Song Jinyue thought that Xu Tiansheng was not lying. The jade pendant was indeed worth 20 taels of silver. When they passed by a grain merchant in the county town, they asked about it. Now the grain price has been raised by the grain merchant to fifty cents per catty, 20 taels of silver, four hundred catties. Food, it’s not a big deal to let this kid eat a few more meals.

But remembering the scene where he was so shameful and arrogant at his house, she felt a little resentful. However, Mrs. Song showed her kindness again and filled a small bowl of porridge to him.

"Thank you!"

Xu Tiansheng replied in a complicated tone, took the bowl handed over by Mrs. Song, ate the food in a few mouthfuls, turned around and left. Tomorrow, he could go to the county government to collect food, and he would not come to the Song family to ask for food. Something.

"Why do you care about him? You've already paid him money?" Song Haitao was also concerned about what happened at the beginning. He didn't agree with Mrs. Song giving porridge to this man.

One tael of silver per meal along the way, plus the settlement fee, was enough. If it weren't for his family, this young man would have starved to death on the street.

"Speak less!"

Mrs. Song told him to shut up.

After dinner, Song Hailong and Song Haitao went to the well to fetch some water and kept it at home.

The house assigned to the Song family was large enough, with a total of three rooms including the kitchen, which was almost the same as the old houses in Stone Village. Song Jinyue and Mrs. Song lived in the small house, while Han Ling and Song Jinnan lived in the big house.

Everyone spread out their bedding and were about to fall asleep when they heard a terrifying roar coming from outside.

"The tiger has entered the village, the tiger has entered the village!"

"Go back to the house quickly!"

Everyone was so frightened that they hurried back to their houses. Some of them were killed by the tiger on the spot before it was too late.

"Ah, Daddy!"

"My child!"

Heartbreaking cries came from some people's mouths.

Mrs. Song couldn't sleep at first, and she didn't dare to sleep when she heard the noise. She directly put on her shoes and went to the ground, opened the door a crack, and looked outside a few times, but because it was too far away from the starting point, she couldn't do anything. can not see.

She was just worried about the safety of Liu Guisheng and others, but she didn't dare to go out. She could only pray silently, and even remembered the great immortal.

Everyone went back to the house and locked the door from the inside. No one was not afraid.

In the second half of the night, the tiger's sound gradually stopped, and the sleepy and anxious villagers closed their eyes.

Song Jinyue stood on the treetop, looking at the bloody limbs and broken bones, showing a trace of self-blame. She was obviously capable of killing the tiger, but now she was hesitant and wasted many lives!

He took out the little civet cat from the space and fed him some body-tempering elixirs. The little guy ate it obediently.

"You've grown a lot lately!"

Song Jinyue touched its soft fur, and most of the negative emotions in her heart were relieved. She pointed at the sleeping tiger at the entrance of the village, "Are you confident that you can solve it?"
