Chapter 495 Stealing the Tiger

The big tiger beside him seemed to have noticed Xu Miaomiao's thoughts, and gently rubbed his hand, signaling him not to worry. Seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark, Xu Miaomiao also put the young tiger beside him in the backpack, covered it with a cloth, put the backpack on his back, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring them to you intact. It's just that there are too many beasts in the jungle. Although you are fierce enough, it is inevitable that there will be some danger. Wait until they recover from their injuries and you can meet again."

Dahu seemed to understand Xu Miaomiao's meaning. He accompanied her all the way to the back entrance of the mountain. He still looked at Xu Miaomiao reluctantly. Xu Miaomiao looked back at him before turning around and leaving.

The tiger cubs, who had played for a whole day, felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in the backpack. Although the two cubs were still small, they were still the size of tigers, so the backpack was inevitably a little heavy.

Xu Miaomiao still took the same road she took when she came here. Although the only way to go to the back mountain was through Wangjia Village, there were still two roads leading to Wangjia Village. Halfway through her journey, she suddenly discovered that this road had been blocked by someone at some point. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao could only shake her head and go back to take another road.

Although there were more people on the other road, the two cubs were asleep and did not make any noise, so probably no one would notice them.

Xu Miaomiao, hoping for a lucky break, prepared to leave with the two cubs.

Suddenly, a puddle of water appeared in front of them. Li Mei poured the water directly onto the ground. Seeing Xu Miaomiao, she pretended to exclaim and said, "Ah, Madam Xu, why are you here? I really didn't see you. I'm sorry!"

Li Mei looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke in a pretentious manner.

Xu Miaomiao ignored him. She didn't believe that Li Mei could throw water in front of him while he was standing here. However, this was not the time to worry about these things. Xu Miaomiao subconsciously glanced at the backpack behind her and was relieved to see that the two cubs were not frightened.

Li Mei saw his sinking backpack and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Madam Xu, didn't you ask us to help you pick things and exchange them for silver? Since you want to help the people of Wangjia Village, why don't you just help us to the end? Why don't you go up the mountain to pick them yourself? How about this, you draw the drawings for us, I'll go up the mountain to help you unpack the things, and you give me some silver, isn't that good?"

Xu Miaomiao knew what Li Mei was planning, but he had not come to the mountain to pick things these days. She looked at him and said, "You know that Cordyceps is everywhere. I want to pick it everywhere. It's just that you are from the same village, so I asked you this. Why, now you don't even want to go to the back mountain to pick something?"

When Li Mei heard this, she curled her lips and looked at Xu Miaomiao and immediately said, "Madam Xu, what are you talking about? You want to go to the back mountain to pick things, but I'm naturally not happy about it. It's just that picking things is tiring, so why not let me do it for you? You just need to give me some money."

"I have already given you thirty coins. Isn't this money enough for you to get through the entire winter?" Xu Miaomiao said coldly. Seeing Li Mei standing there in a daze, Xu Miaomiao was about to turn her back, but Li Mei refused to give in and stepped forward to grab Xu Miaomiao's backpack.

Xu Miaomiao was startled, and immediately turned around with the basket on her back, looked at Li Mei and said, "What do you want to do?"

Li Mei pouted indifferently: "Madam Xu, why are you so nervous? I'm just curious about what's in your backpack. Since it's so heavy, I want to help you."

"That's not necessary, just mind your own business."

After saying that, Xu Miaomiao was about to turn around and leave, but Li Mei grabbed her again. Xu Miaomiao lost her patience and looked at the woman in front of her coldly: "If you touch me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

She had already turned the silver needle out of the space and held it in her hand. If anyone dared to take another step forward, she would immediately throw the silver needle at him.

Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Li Mei immediately became silent. She curled her lips and smiled slightly. She ignored Xu Miaomiao and continued to speak: "Madam Xu, I was just trying to help you out of kindness. Why are you so cruel?"

After hearing what the woman said, Xu Miaomiao didn't plan to say two more words to him. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a loud-voiced woman appeared behind her and took away the cover on Xu Miaomiao's backpack. The two cubs were still sleeping obediently inside. Suddenly, someone turned on a beam of light above their heads. The cubs roared in dissatisfaction. Although the roar was small and looked cute, the loud-voiced woman next to him was still startled and took two steps back.

Pointing at Xu Miaomiao, he said, "Xu Miaomiao, I was wondering why you have been so secretive these past two days, so I put up a roadblock over there just to see what you were doing. I didn't expect you to be stealing tigers."

"That's right, Madam Xu." Li Mei at the side immediately said, "You didn't allow us to hunt tigers before, so why do you want to catch a tiger and exchange it for money now? I tell you, it's not that easy."

Li Mei looked at the woman in front of her with dissatisfaction and spoke.

Xu Miaomiao didn't want to pay any attention to the two people in front of her. She was about to turn around and leave with the backpack on her back, but the two people kept pressing on her. The only bit of patience Xu Miaomiao had at this moment was exhausted. She grabbed several silver needles with both hands at the same time, ready to scatter all the silver needles when the two people took a step forward.

Li Mei didn't take it seriously. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued, "Madam Xu, you have to know that this tiger is from the mountain behind our Wangjia Village. It belongs to our Wangjia Village. We wanted to hunt it before, but you persuaded us. Now you are stealing the tiger here. You have to give us an explanation for this, right?"

The loud-voiced lady beside him nodded when she heard this, echoing Li Mei and looking at Xu Miaomiao, and continued, "That's right, Madam Xu, although you gave us thirty coins of silver before, it may have been earned by our own labor, but do you know how difficult it is to pick Cordyceps? Now that you want to take away the tiger from our Wangjia Village, you must share the money with us."

The loud-voiced sister spoke unreasonably.

"Want money?" Xu Miaomiao tilted her head slightly and asked the two women in front of her.

The two women shook their heads at her without comment: "Yeah, you took things from Wangjia Village, so what's wrong with us asking you for some money? Shouldn't it be a matter of course?"
