When the old man heard this, he immediately took the opportunity to laugh back:
"With your short legs, it's no wonder you didn't get bitten by a wolf! Back then, I..."
The two of them started to talk back and forth, exposing each other's shortcomings, from embarrassing moments in their youth to trivial matters today, as if they had endless topics to talk about.
Chen Changyuan stood aside, listening to them teasing each other, and couldn't help but smile.
His eyes accidentally fell on the tiger skin under Old Li's butt.
This tiger skin has golden fur and clear markings, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary one.
"Old Li, your tiger skin is quite nice,"
Chen Changyuan pointed at the tiger skin and asked, "Where did you get it?"
Old Li followed Chen Changyuan's gaze, a hint of pride on his face:
"This is the skin of a tiger king! Look at the patterns and the aura. How can any other tiger compare to it? I'm telling you, I paid a huge price for this skin!"
He paused, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:
"It just so happens that the boss wants to buy a tiger skin recently. If I sell this one, it will definitely get a thousand yuan!"
"One thousand yuan?!" Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan exclaimed in unison.
One thousand yuan was definitely a huge sum of money in the 1970s.

Old Li shook his head proudly:
"That's right! I'm not exaggerating, if I didn't have such a wide network of connections, how could I have gotten such a high price? Let me tell you, this buyer is from the higher-ups in the military!"
Chen Changyuan's heart moved. The temptation of one thousand yuan was too great.
Although he had hunted many preys in his previous life, he had never encountered a beast as ferocious as the Tiger King.
"Old Li, can you let me see your tiger skin?" Chen Changyuan asked tentatively.
Old Li readily agreed:
"Of course! Come, young man, take a look at this leather, it's definitely top quality!"
As he spoke, he carefully pulled the tiger skin out from under his butt and handed it to Chen Changyuan.
Chen Changyuan took the tiger skin and looked at it carefully.
The tiger skin feels heavy to the touch, the fur is smooth and soft, and it exudes a faint fishy smell.
He stroked the stripes on the tiger's skin, and the image of the majestic tiger king in the mountains and forests emerged in his mind.
"How is it? Young man, this leather is good, right?" Old Li asked expectantly.
