Chapter 654 They actually managed to kill the giant worm
At this time, most people in Zhengdao Village went out to work, but some stayed at home.
Ma Lu and his group were making a big fuss, and they were carrying such a huge tiger that anyone who wasn't blind could see it.
So the word spread quickly, and before long, many people came over, looking at the tiger with a mixture of curiosity and fear.
The old lady also came with Sanya and Dahu, along with Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss.
The old lady had been worried ever since Shuyu left home in the morning. Around 11 PM, the usual time for Shuyu to return, she went to the foot of the mountain several times.
Not long ago, she was about to go out again when she saw Madam Hou and the Sixth Miss arrive. The slap mark on Madam Hou's face was too obvious, so the old lady naturally pulled her aside and asked what had happened.
This question took some time, until someone outside shouted loudly, "Ma Lu and his men have caught a tiger! Go and see!"
The old lady suddenly stood up and led a few people straight out of the house.
Only then did the Hou mother and daughter realize that Shu Yu and the others had gone up the mountain to hunt tigers.
Seeing that they were safe and sound, the old lady was finally relieved. She didn't go over, since she knew everyone was alright, she could just wait at home for them to come back.
However, she nudged Madam Hou, saying, "Ayu and the others are going to the estate now. Didn't you want to say goodbye to her? Why don't you go together?"
The Hou family mother and daughter responded and nodded before heading towards the estate.
As soon as the two reached the gate of the manor, they saw the manor's officials, sweating profusely, leading the guard who was with Lord Cheng out.
Upon seeing Lady Hou, the official paused for a moment, nodded to her, and then continued speaking to the guards beside him, "I don't know why they haven't returned yet. Usually, by this time, they would have already come back down the mountain..."
Hou understood immediately. It was already late afternoon, and Shu Yu and the others hadn't returned to the manor. It must be that Old Master Qi and the others couldn't wait any longer and thought something had happened, so they sent the officials and the guards to look for them.
Hou quickly said, "Officers, are you going to find Shu Yu?"
The officer paused, "What's wrong?"
"They're back, they're right behind us, they should be here soon."
Upon hearing this, the official breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile returning to his face, and said to the guard, "It seems everything is alright."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar, loud shouting voice reached his ears.
That voice, isn't it Ma Lu?
The officials quickly walked a few steps and indeed saw a large group of people turning a corner and walking towards the manor.
"Why are there so many people?"
The official was surprised, but the guard behind him with sharp eyes noticed what they were carrying. "A tiger? They killed a tiger?"
"What?"
The officials were shocked and hurried forward, and sure enough, they saw a huge tiger being carried over by Ma Lu and his men.
He gasped sharply, pointing at the group with wide eyes, "You did this?"
"Yes, officers, we're lucky. This tiger is quite heavy." Seeing the officers approaching, Ma Lu and his group naturally stopped.
Among the prey they were selecting, besides the tiger, there was also an antelope.
The antelope was an accident. They were waiting for it to return outside the tiger's den, but they didn't expect it to be out hunting and come back with an antelope in its mouth.
