"I'll go help Mancang with it. Cousin, you guys should also pack up and get ready to go home."

Wild vegetables account for most of the family's rations, and the past few days have been their peak harvest period, so Abraham Jin couldn't do anything to persuade them.

I am going to help Greg Zhang load firewood into the car first, and then talk about the beasts when we go down the mountain.

"You have to go do some work first, and we'll go help Mancang later."

Stacy Lin glanced at the crossbow on Abraham Jin waist and said.

After getting married, Abraham Jin seemed to be a changed person. She changed her past habit of being lazy and lazy, which made her view of Abraham Jin change.

"I'm just here to find you, nothing else."

"What are you doing with me?"

Stacy Lin asked curiously.

"Let's talk about this later on the way back."

Abraham Jin walked towards Greg Zhang with his crossbow in hand.

Before they were halfway there, they saw a group of angry people coming from the village.

"Abraham Jin, why did you lie to us?"

The third aunt put her hands on her hips and was the first to attack.

"What did I lie to you about?"

Abraham Jin was confused.

"You told us that a tiger came from the back mountain. Didn't you lie to us?"

"I made it very clear to you this afternoon. Everything is just my speculation. Moreover, I didn't say it was a tiger. It could be other beasts."

Abraham Jin couldn't laugh or cry.

"you saw it?"

"No."

"You're just talking nonsense without seeing me. Aren't you trying to scare everyone? I think you're just evil-minded. You won't let us hunt rabbits, but you won't let us dig wild vegetables. You really want to starve us to death!"

The third aunt opened fire violently at Abraham Jin like a machine gun.

"I just think there may be danger. I want to remind you. If you want to believe it, then believe it. If you don't want to, forget it. Why are you howling with me?"

Being accused for no reason, Abraham Jin became angry and pointed at the mountain behind: "You want to hunt rabbits, go ahead, did I stop you?"

"Give me a moment to calm down!"

The village chief, who came over after getting the news, panted and stood between the two people: "What's going on?"

"Village chief, you have to give us a review."

When the third aunt saw the village chief coming, she felt as if she had been greatly wronged, and told her story with tears and runny noses.

"Abraham Jin, to judge whether there is a ferocious beast, you must either see it with your own eyes, or find footprints, hair, etc., or at least see the beast bitten by the ferocious beast."

The village chief said: "You haven't found anything, so you can't just talk nonsense. If everyone listened to you and formed a tiger hunting team, but in the end nothing was found, wouldn't it be a delay?"

"Okay, I get it."

Abraham Jin nodded helplessly.

Tigers are so ferocious that one or two villagers cannot deal with them, so once a tiger is found approaching the village, young men will form a tiger hunting team, and other work will be delayed.

This is also the reason why Abraham Jin was reluctant to say it at first.

"I believe Abraham Jin means well, but he just said the wrong thing. There is no need for everyone to hold on to him, just let them go."

The village chief still had some authority. He stepped forward to reconcile with Xini, and the women could no longer embarrass Abraham Jin, so they dispersed muttering to themselves.

Some went home, while others wandered with the men at the foot of the mountain, hoping to be lucky enough to encounter a hare or two out foraging.

At the edge of the forest, Greg Zhang was working hard to put the bundled dry firewood on the car, but it was very laborious due to the inconvenience of one leg.

Abraham Jin went over and helped lift the other end of the firewood. After putting it on the car, he fixed it with hemp rope.

"Thank you, Brother Jin."

Greg Zhang thanked him honestly.

"Why should I thank you for such a small thing?"

Abraham Jin didn't take it seriously.

"It's a small thing, but a tiger is a big thing."

Greg Zhang lowered his voice and said: "I heard what you just said, and I know you didn't lie to them. The number of rabbits in the mountain has indeed increased in the past two days. I saw several of them today.

I don't understand what's going on. I was just thinking about asking my brother to come over tomorrow. Fortunately, you came over to remind me. "

"You don't want to hunt rabbits?"

Abraham Jin glanced at Greg Zhang in surprise.

Greg Zhang's main job was to pick up fallen branches in the woods at the back of the mountain, or cut some branches to dry and carry back down the mountain. It was not surprising that he found that there were suddenly more hares, but he was able to resist the temptation and stay calm, which surprised Abraham Jin. .

"Of course I do,"Greg Zhang smiled: "But my brother and I are both disabled, and if we encounter a tiger or something, we will only die.

If the two of us were eaten by a tiger, this family would really be unable to survive. "

"Mancang, you are a smart man."

Abraham Jin helped bundle the wood onto the wheelbarrow: "Go back early. Don't come to the back mountain these days."

On the other side, Stacy Lin and the other three also packed their things.

Greg Zhang was holding the handle of the car, Lin Yunfang and her mother-in-law were holding the car on the left and right, and the sister-in-law was carrying a basket of wild vegetables. They slowly went down the mountain.

Abraham Jin's family is in the west end of the village, Greg Zhang family is in the east end, and the two families split up at the foot of the mountain.

Not far away, Abraham Jin was thinking about buying something after selling rabbits in the town tomorrow, when suddenly there was a scream from behind.

Looking back, the group of village women who were filled with indignation just now were all running away at the top of their lungs.

A black shadow rushed down from the mountain and flew towards the nearest Greg Zhang and the others.

"This is...a tiger?!"

Abraham Jin pupils shrank and his heart beat rapidly!

Although I had already guessed that a tiger might be coming to the back mountain, my scalp was still numb when I saw it with my own eyes.

This tiger was so big, it was three meters long not counting its tail, its head was bigger than a washbasin, and it weighed at least over 500 kilograms!

There was a wound on the tiger's back and it was still bleeding. It had obviously been attacked before. It seemed very agitated and ran faster and faster.

The limbs are strong and strong, and a leap can reach as far as four or five meters.

The visual impact is much more powerful than the tigers I saw in the zoo in my previous life!

Such a fierce tiger can definitely kill itself with one slap!

"Ah!~~"

Greg Zhang's sister was so frightened that she covered her head and screamed.

"Sister-in-law, run!"

Greg Zhang was still calm. He threw down the wheelbarrow, shouted at Stacy Lin, and ran away with his frightened sister and mother.

How can a man outrun a tiger? What's more, Greg Zhang legs and feet are inconvenient.

Seeing that the tiger was getting closer and closer, Greg Zhang roared with red eyes and pulled out the hatchet from his waist.

"Sister-in-law, take mother and Xiaohua away first."

Greg Zhang waved his hatchet, screamed strangely, and limped to the other side.

The tiger was attracted by Greg Zhang and turned around to chase him.

It was almost dark, and Greg Zhang stumbled not long after running.

Before he could get up, the tiger swooped in front of him.

"elder brother!"

Queena Zhang face turned pale with fright.

Greg Zhang also resigned and closed his eyes.

However, at this moment, an arrow shot through the air and accurately hit the tiger's left front leg.

Direct penetration!

Plop!

The tiger's front legs gave way and it fell to the ground. It slid forward five or six meters and stopped at Greg Zhang feet.
