Chapter 44 Fighting the Tiger with Strength, Returning to the Village for Support

While refusing Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenqian kept his eyes fixed on the large insect lying on the tree.

Uncle Tiezhu from the village was also eaten by a tiger while venturing into the deep mountains, and there has been no news of him since.

If that tiger really ate their two children, there probably wouldn't even be any trace left.

"Big brother, you have to believe in my abilities. I want to catch it and sell it myself." The confidence and excitement in Lin Luoxi's eyes made Lin Wenqian tremble with fear.

That was a tiger, not a dog. Has his sister really gone mad?

"Big brother, you'd better run faster, it's already noticed our movements." Seeing the tiger slowly get up, Lin Luoxi urged Lin Wenqian.

"Big brother, hurry up and climb that big tree, and watch how I take down that tiger." Seeing that Lin Wenqian didn't move, Lin Luoxi simply pushed him towards the tree with all her might.

"Sister, let's run away quickly." Lin Wenqian saw Lin Luoxi standing still, staggered a couple of times, and then ran over.

"Hurry up and go upstairs, don't delay my operation. If you don't leave and delay me, I won't get to eat rice, and I'll throw you into the tiger's den." Lin Wenqian's actions made Lin Luoxi so angry that she felt like her lungs were about to explode.

"Hurry up and leave! If you stay, you'll only hold me back." Seeing that Lin Wenqian didn't move, Lin Luoxi simply said something harsher.

"I, I, you, you..." Lin Wenqian was so angry at Lin Luoxi's stubbornness that tears were about to burst out.

Finally, after glancing at the large worm that was already running this way, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and ran back the way he came.

"Fool, it's good that he ran away." Lin Luoxi cursed as she saw Lin Wenqian running down the mountain. She put both baskets into her spatial storage, took out the pig-slaughtering knife she had secretly prepared, and assumed a defensive stance.

"Roar!" The giant worm roared as it pounced on Lin Luoxi, trying to scare her with its noise.

Lin Luoxi was so shocked by the sound that she almost went deaf, and her mind went blank for a moment.

But the thought that she was facing a fierce tiger made her quickly regain her composure, raise the butcher knife in her hand, and charge forward.

When Lin Wenqian was halfway there, he heard the earth-shattering roar of the tiger, stopped in his tracks, and tried to run back.

But the thought of his own weakness and helplessness brought tears to his eyes, and he turned around again and walked down the mountain.

In his frantic run, he bumped into Xie Hanchuan, who was approaching at breakneck speed.

"Wenqian, what's wrong? Where's your sister?" Xie Hanchuan had a bad feeling.

The scene of Lin Luoxi fighting the wild boar yesterday flashed through his mind. Ignoring Lin Wenqian's tears, he quickly ran towards the sound of the tiger.

If you look closely, you can see that Xie Hanchuan's running steps have begun to become frantic.

Seeing Xie Hanchuan running towards his sister, Lin Wenqian wiped away his tears, thinking of his current responsibilities, and ran down the mountain again.

"Wenqian, why are you running so fast?" Lin Zhousheng was patrolling his own field when he saw Lin Wenqian, a grown man, running down the mountain crying as if the sky had fallen.

"Uncle Zhou, my sister and I went up the mountain and encountered a giant bug, boohoo..." Lin Wenqian was so scared and flustered that he could barely speak. All he knew was that he had to get someone to go up the mountain to rescue Lin Luoxi today.

"What? A big bug?" Lin Zhousheng didn't react at first and thought, "Isn't that just a big bug? Why is it crying so loudly?"

How old is she to cry like this over a bug? She can't even be composed over something so small. Thinking this to herself, she continued to bend down and rummage through the rice stalks to see if there were any rice planthoppers.

In a flash, a white light suddenly appeared in my mind.

When her mind finally caught up, she looked up abruptly and saw that Lin Wenqian had already disappeared.

He slapped his thigh, and started to get anxious. He quickly ran to the edge of the field, hurriedly put on his shoes, and caught up with Lin Wenqian.

By the time Lin Wenqian, Lin Dayou, village chief Lin Zhousheng, and a dozen other young people headed into the mountains, everyone in the village already knew that Lin Luoxi had encountered a tiger in the mountains.

Old Lin's family —

"Hahaha, Dad, do you know what? I just went out and heard that Lin Luoxi, that female demon, encountered a tiger in the mountains..."

"You didn't see it, those two idiots, Lin Dayou and Lin Wenqian, their faces were whiter than paper with fear." Lin Daguang rushed back from outside, shouting excitedly to the old man Lin who was sitting under the eaves smoking his pipe.

"Really?" Old Man Lin stood up excitedly upon hearing his eldest son's words, and asked uncertainly.

"It must be true. You didn't see it, but the village chief has already called all the young people in the village to go up the mountain together."

Lin Daguang complained about Lin Zhousheng, feeling that the village chief was just being nosy and meddling in other people's business. He thought it would be better if that brat was eaten by a tiger.

"Hmph, Lin Zhousheng is just a damn busybody, meddling in other people's business. It would have been better if that damned girl had been eaten by a tiger, but he insisted on sending people to rescue her." Old Man Lin was also gritting his teeth in anger towards Lin Zhousheng, his expression extremely sinister.

When Lin Daguang saw this, he was terrified and took a step back in fright.

"Grandpa, don't be angry yet. Let's not even talk about how it will take Lin Wenqian time to get back."

"The village chief and his men took a lot of time to get there and back. Maybe that brat has already been eaten by the tiger and there's not even a trace left..." Lin Wenwu was at home at the time because the private school was on holiday.

He was in pain all night after being kicked by Lin Luoxi last night and hadn't recovered.

After hearing his father's words, his body stopped hurting, and he was able to get out of bed and talk to Old Man Lin.

"Yes, my eldest grandson is right. That girl must have been eaten by the tiger, leaving not even a trace."

Old Man Lin was very satisfied with Lin Wenwu's explanation, and his fear of Lin Luoxi disappeared. He smiled so broadly that his eyes disappeared from his grin.

"Da Guang, is what you said true?" Old Mrs. Lin, who had been beaten by Lin Luoxi and could only lie on the bed groaning, felt refreshed and even managed to crawl out of bed trembling when she heard that Lin Luoxi had been eaten by a tiger.

"Yes, Mom, it's true. If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around right now." Lin Daguang was in a good mood today and was much more patient with his mother.

"Then I'll have to go out and take a look." Old Mrs. Lin leaned on her cane and limped towards the door.

"Grandma, wait for me! I need to go see if that brat really got eaten by the tiger."

Lin Wenwu quickened his pace, stepped forward to help the unsteady old lady Lin, and went out to see a play together.

"I'm going too!"
