Tang Shiyue was so scared that he let go of his hand.

He grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand and walked forward step by step. After taking seven or eight steps, he stopped and said, "He's dead."

Tang Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief and followed him. He saw a beast corpse that had been eaten to pieces in the bushes. Qi Jing took a closer look and said, "Something is wrong."

She was a little nervous again and looked at him eagerly. He glanced at her with a smile in his eyes as he walked forward.

All her tiredness disappeared, and she followed him step by step, not daring to lag behind. After walking about half a mile, she saw two small, furry orange cats lying outside the tree hole of a towering ancient tree, rolling and playing.

Tang Shiyue said something stupid, which was rare: "Why are there two cats?"

Qi Jing curled his lips and said, "It's not a cat, it's a lynx."

She asked, "What?"

He repeated: "Lynx."

He gave her some basic knowledge about what a lynx is.

...

...

This thing is also called lynx or mountain cat. It looks very much like a cat, but its body is bigger than a cat and its head is smaller than a cat.

This thing is a medium-sized fierce tiger, with a cunning and cautious temperament. It is good at running, climbing, and swimming. It is ferocious and agile in movement and has great endurance. It is said that it can lie dormant for several days without moving, or it can run for dozens of miles without stopping. It likes to hunt medium to large animals such as roe deer. It is very powerful.

It is said that the nobles in Chang'an City were accustomed to taming lynxes and cats for hunting, because lynxes and cats are smart and understand human nature, and once trained well, they are more useful than dogs and leopards.

Tang Shiyue was very interested and looked at it carefully: "Is it so amazing?"

But it really looks like an orange cat! The only difference is that the lynx has a black edge on its ears, and the hair on the tip of the ear is still standing up. There is also a black vertical stripe above the eye.

Qi Jing said: "When you grow up, you will have tiger stripes on your body." He stretched out his hand and gestured: "Your eyes will also grow into slanting eyes, which is very majestic."

She nodded, and he asked her, "Do you want it? Didn't you say before that you wanted to raise a dog to guard the house? This is much more useful than a dog."

Tang Shiyue understood immediately and blinked her eyes to act cute: "I want it." She held his sleeve cutely: "Brother Jing, can you scold me?"

Qi Jing said: "No."

"Oh," she withdrew her hand instantly, demonstrating what it means to cross a river and then destroy the bridge.

Qi Jing was amused by her: "But I can find someone to teach you a lesson."

Her eyes lit up, and she reached out her hand again. Qi Jing calmly steadied his arm and said, "But this creature is not like a dog. No matter how many people there are in the family, it will recognize and be close to them... A lynx usually only recognizes one owner."

So loyal?

Tang Shiyue said: "That's great! I like this kind of thing!"

Qi Jing smiled, and then helped her pull some long vines to weave a basket, and put the two little lynxes in it.

The two walked down the mountain, and Tang Shiyue said excitedly: "One for you, one for me, let's give him a name."

Qi Jing hummed.

He had long discovered that she liked to give names to these things. For example, she named his mule Ma Jun. He wondered for several days why she gave it the surname Ma. Later he found out that it means "taller than a horse." The strangest thing was the old yellow cow in Fourth Uncle Tang's family. She named it "Huang Wu." After asking, he found out that she felt the two horns of the old yellow cow looked like a person dancing with his arms raised.

So he was quite curious about what name she would give the lynx.

Tang Shiyue thought about it carefully.

It's so majestic that she definitely can't name them Gou Dan Er Wang Cai or something like that, so she thought: "How about naming one Nan Zheng and the other Bei Zhan?"

Qi Jing was stunned, then suddenly turned his head to look at her with a sharp look in his eyes.

Tang Shiyue was slightly surprised, and looked very confused: "It doesn't sound good? Then... one is called Blade Light, and the other is called Sword Shadow, how about that?"

Qi Jing retracted his gaze: "Yeah, okay."

Tang Shiyue curved her eyes and looked at Qi Jing's back.

Xiao Jingjing, your secret seems to be exposed? He reacted so strongly when he heard about Nanzhengbeizhan... Then he thought about what he said about Xiao Qiyang's past. Could it be that someone in his family had been a military commander?

The lynx had already grown its teeth and according to Qi Jing, it was about two or three months old and could be fed meat, so the two of them took a longer detour on their way back and hunted two rabbits. They stewed one and cut the other into small strips to feed the little lynx.

Although the lynx was small, it looked wild and difficult to tame, and was very restless. Tang Shiyue, Xiao Yaoer, and Xiao Qi Yang, the four of them stood around watching, while Qi Jing carefully fed it rabbit meat.

While feeding the baby, I heard the door open and Madam Zhou came in.

Tang Shiyue looked up and smiled: "Aunt, how come you have time to come now? I stewed the rabbit and was thinking of sending you a bowl later!"

Madam Zhou said, "Come here, Yue'er. I have something to talk to you about."

Tang Shiyue came over, and Madam Zhou pulled her to the door and whispered, "I just heard something, so I came to tell you! I heard that Grandma Sun and your aunt told everyone that you secretly embezzled a lot of the silver you dug up in this house, and went to the town to eat and drink all day long!"

She was a little angry: "There are actually quite a few people who believe it! They say that with so much money in front of them, how can an ignorant young lady not be envious? It would be strange if she didn't take it!"

Tang Shiyue frowned.

She thought about it, and then laughed: "This kind of dirty trick is probably something that Tang Shijin used. But... this is the only trick they have that is not worthy of being shown on the stage!"

She held her in a soothing manner, "Aunt, it's okay. The clan leader is not someone who can be fooled. He knows the situation. Didn't he say there is a scroll? I guess the amount of silver must be written on the scroll. This time, the Tang family must have been a villain in vain!"

She is right.

When Tang Shijin came up with this idea, Mrs. Sun was pleasantly surprised and kept praising him for his cleverness.

The reason why the clan leader valued Tang Shiyue was because she dug out silver for his family. But what if they knew that Tang Shiyue had embezzled the silver? Wouldn't they come to her right away to settle the account? If she couldn't hand over the silver, wouldn't she have a falling out with the clan leader's family? Wouldn't they let them harass her in the future?

The more Mrs. Sun thought about it, the more she felt it was absolutely right!

The calculation is quite good, but unfortunately, the information is not equal.

The Tang family is now in a situation where everyone is avoiding them, so they can't even hear all the gossip. They don't even know there is a scroll, and they don't even know how much silver there is.

Anyway, he thought this idea was brilliant and would definitely trick Tang Shiyue to death, so he hurriedly told others about it.

Normally, during the wheat harvest season, everyone is so busy that no one has the heart to listen to gossip. But they can't help but jump around all over the place, and the news soon spread throughout the village.

The clan leader's family naturally heard about it as well.

Even the Tang family, who were so well-known in the Great Wall Mansion, were so angry that they cursed many times at home, "You are a troublemaker!" "You can't find such a stupid, vicious and long-tongued woman in the whole town!"

So Tang Yongfu and He had just returned from the fields and had not even had a sip of water when they were called away by the clan leader.

After entering, Grandma Sun, Li, Tang Guihua, and even Tang Shiyin were all there, huddled like quails, surrounded by several circles of villagers who had just returned from underground.

After he came in, the patriarch took him to the main room, where the scroll was now placed. The patriarch personally lit incense, took down the scroll and handed it to him.

Tang Yongfu hurriedly washed his hands and took it with both hands. His face turned red as soon as he saw it.

This time, the clan leader didn't give him any face and said directly: "Nian Nian! Everyone listen!"

Tang Yongfu had no choice but to read it once.

Not many country folk were literate, but this scroll was written in a concise and clear manner, without much fuss about the words. Everyone understood it immediately and started discussing it.

The head of the Tang family put the scroll back and stood at the door with the help of his walking stick: "Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous! If there is such a troublemaker who creates trouble out of nothing and sows discord again, I will never forgive her!" He gave Grandma Sun a fierce look.

Mrs. Sun's face turned red with embarrassment.

My god, my grandson is already old enough to get married, but the clan leader scolded him in front of everyone as a troublemaker. This is really embarrassing.
