Chapter 82 Encountering a Tiger
After lunch, everyone continued on the road for another two hours and did not stop until the You hour (between 17:00 and 19:00).
Xu Zhiyi looked at everyone busy preparing a fire to cook dinner, then he walked into the woods, moved out a small piece of shepherd's purse from the space, then took out ten eggs and caught a chicken.
When they came out, they happened to meet a few members of the Lin family. Xu Zhiyi explained to everyone that the pheasant was incubating eggs, but she didn't expect to see it and catch it.
After hearing the explanation, everyone had only slight envy in their eyes and praised Xu Zhiyi for being lucky, at least not as jealous as the previous villagers.
The pheasant was used to make soup, and shepherd's purse and eggs were mixed with white flour to make pancakes.
After everything was ready, Xu Zhiyi filled three bowls of chicken soup and took six shepherd's purse and egg pancakes, and gave the chicken soup to the headman's family, Doctor Li, and Wang Xiaohe. He also gave two large shepherd's purse and egg pancakes to each of the three families in the Lin family.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came back from delivering the gifts, each of their families returned the gift and brought a bowl full of horse meat soup.
After the meal, Xu Zhiyi poured half a bowl of soup, walked to the cart, and seeing that the woman had not woken up yet, he tried to feed her some soup, letting her drink half and drink the other half.
After helping her wipe the blood off her face during the day, she was really surprised. I didn't expect that she was such a beautiful woman.
In the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by a loud "Ah Woo".
The village head woke up and saw that the person in front of them was a tiger. He shouted, "Everyone, get up quickly! It's a tiger!"
As soon as everyone wakes up, grab your weapons.
Everyone looked at the big tiger opposite them, staring at them with a fierce look.
The village head looked at the tiger that had already arrived in front of them, and his heart sank. In this situation, they couldn't escape! He could only look at the crowd and say:
"Everyone, fight it. Those with long swords will attack head-on, while those with machetes will follow the situation and finish off the enemy quickly."
Shen Wuyou on this side also hurriedly carried Shen Changan to the other side of the cart and sat down.
Upon seeing this, Su told Xu Zhiyi and Shen Wuyou to be careful and then ran away with the cart.
Xu Zhiyi looked at Shen Wuyou and said, “Wuyou, you are injured, you stay with your mother and Changan.”
Shen Wuyou heard this, holding the big knife in his hand and didn't move.
Sure enough, when the tiger saw someone trying to run away, it roared madly and then rushed towards the crowd.
Everyone started chopping with their swords, but the tiger was stronger and it was even harder than when they were fighting the bandits. Even though more than 20 people worked together, some people were still injured!
Looking at the tiger that was getting more and more crazy after being chopped more than ten times, Xu Zhiyi knew that everyone did not have the same skills and fighting techniques as the hunter. They only knew how to chop randomly. It would be terrible if everyone ran out of energy!
Doctor Li suddenly remembered something, and while everyone was fighting the tiger again, he hurried over to the side and rummaged through his bag. After finding the medicine bag wrapped in oil paper, he opened it and grabbed a handful with one hand.
"Everyone hold your breath"
When everyone heard this, they held their breath. Doctor Li threw the powder in his hand directly at the tiger. The tiger cried out at the sudden white powder thrown at it, and its attacking movements seemed to slow down.
When Dr. Li saw that the medicine did not knock out the tiger, he knew it had failed! But it still had some effect on it, at least the force of its attack was significantly weakened.
Xu Zhi thought the opportunity had come! He raised his sword and chopped at the tiger's eyes.
"Knowing the meaning!!"
“Wife!!”
The tiger's eyes were destroyed and it went mad. It rushed forward and knocked Xu Zhiyi more than two meters away.
Now, the tiger was blind, so everyone worked together and stabbed the tiger's vital points several times. The tiger fell to the ground and struggled for a while, then became motionless.
Shen Wuyou squatted down with a worried look on his face and supported Xu Zhiyi: "My wife, where are you hurt? I'll go call Grandpa Li over."
Xu Zhiyi rubbed his waist and shook his head, saying, "It's okay, I just got hurt from the fall, no bones or muscles were injured."
Doctor Li over there bandaged the wounded guys, then came over with a worried look on his face. He left only after making sure that Xu Zhiyi had no internal injuries.
At this time, Su and Hu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Ye, the mother and daughter, who were pushing the cart, ran for a long distance before they stopped.
Lin Yu came over to inform them that the tiger had been killed! They breathed a sigh of relief and walked back.
The woman on the cart slowly opened her eyes as the cart swayed. She turned her head slightly to look around and saw Su in the moonlight.
“Ahem…”
Su heard the cough and saw the woman waking up. She was surprised and asked, "Girl? You finally woke up?"
Hearing this, the woman looked at Su and asked, "I'm not dead? Did you save me, Auntie?"
Su: "It wasn't me. It was my daughter who found you in the woods and carried you back."
"Thanks!"
Su: "Alas, we just happened to meet, how can we ignore it?"
At this time, Shen Changan, who was sitting on the cart, was worried about Xu Zhiyi and Shen Wuyou. Although Lin Yu came to report the good news that the tiger was killed and no one was seriously injured, he still couldn't let go.
It wasn't until Shen Changan saw Xu Zhiyi and Shen Wuyou coming towards him that he put his heart back in his stomach.
After Su stopped the cart, he quickly pulled Xu Zhiyi to check if she was injured anywhere.
Xu Zhiyi was surrounded by Su and comforted, "Mom, I'm fine. I just fell and my waist hurts a little. I feel much better now!"
After hearing this, Su helped her rub her waist, then turned to Shen Wuyou, and was relieved to see that he was fine.
The woman on the cart slowly turned sideways, and after propping herself up, she was surprised to see Shen Changan on the other side of the cart.
Xu Zhiyi, who was standing by, saw that the woman on the cart had woken up! Seeing that her body was about to fall back, he hurried over to support her.
"Are you awake? You're seriously injured. Why don't you lie down and take some rest first?"
Su then remembered that he forgot to mention that the person had woken up!
The woman looked at Xu Zhiyi, shook her head slightly, and said: "I'm fine, thank you for saving me, I will repay you one day."
Xu Zhiyi: "Lie down first! You are still very weak now."
After the tiger incident, the village head led everyone to deal with the tiger and quickly signaled: "Everyone has to work hard tonight! We should hurry on our way overnight, at least out of this forest. We are afraid that there will be other big prey coming later, so we should be cautious."
When everyone heard what the head of the village said, they quickly packed up their things, pushed the carts and followed each other to leave.
The woman on the cart woke up for a while, drank some water, and then fell asleep again.
Shen Changan placed several large bundles at his feet, just enough to block his line of sight from the woman on the cart.
It was not until an hour later that everyone stopped to pack up. It was already the yin hour! There was only another hour until dawn, so everyone had no choice but to put some things on the ground and go to sleep.
On Xu Zhiyi's side, after spreading the tarpaulin, except for the woman who slept on the cart, the four members of his family were just as usual.
