The wooden stick snapped in two with a crack, and Gu Lili muttered under her breath, "Trash!"
Then he threw away the wooden stick in his hand and prepared to pick up the iron rod.
No sooner had she turned around than Gu Chuan, who had been stunned by the blow from the stick, grabbed a knife and charged at Gu Lili without any regard for his own safety.
Just then, Gu Erniu, who had returned, saw this and was so frightened that he immediately lunged at Gu Lili, pushing her forward.
"Sister, run!" Gu Erniu shouted.
Due to inertia, Gu Erniu fell to the ground. When he tried to get up and continue running, he realized it was too late.
Gu Chuan had already rushed in front of him.
Gu Lili lost her balance due to the sudden shove. After finally regaining her footing, she turned around and saw that Gu Chuan had already reached Gu Erniu.
Gu Chuan chuckled coldly, "You little bastard, you're quite sentimental! Just like your dead father. Since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll send you on your way first!"
Gu Chuan held a knife and pressed it against Gu Erniu, who fell to the ground and kept backing away.
Gu Lili was extremely anxious at this moment. She hurriedly picked up the iron rod and ran towards Gu Chuan.
Without pausing, Gu Chuan raised his knife and chopped at Gu Erniu's head.
Gu Lili's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, but unfortunately, she was still some distance away from Gu Erniu and the others.
No matter how fast I go, I still can't catch up!
At this moment, Gu Lili was so nervous that she couldn't even speak.
Just as Gu Chuan's knife was about to fall on Gu Erniu's head, a tiger suddenly sprang out of the bushes and pounced on Gu Chuan, knocking him to the ground.
Gu Erniu closed his eyes in fright, thinking he was definitely going to die this time, but no pain came for a long time. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Gu Chuan had already been pounced on by the tiger and knocked to the ground.
At this moment, Gu Lili felt all her strength drain away and collapsed next to Gu Erniu.
Her body trembled as she embraced Gu Erniu.
"Erniu!" Gu Lili said in a hoarse voice.
Gu Erniu seemed to have just come to his senses. Gu Lili comforted him and then quickly turned to check on the situation with the tiger.
Gu Chuan seemed to be frightened as well, and didn't move even when the tiger pounced on him.
The tiger didn't bite him; it just pinned him down and seemed to be looking at the siblings with a smug look.
Gu Lili thought she must be seeing things; how could she possibly see that kind of look in an animal's eyes?
After a while, Gu Chuan also came to his senses.
He was about to slash at the tiger with his knife when Gu Lili grabbed an iron rod and knocked the knife out of his hand with a single blow.
The tiger seemed to be completely enraged by his actions, and roared instantly, spitting all over Gu Chuan's face.
Seeing that Gu Lili had knocked the knife away, Gu Chuan clenched his fist and started punching the tiger. The tiger, in pain, opened its blood-red mouth and bit down on Gu Chuan's shoulder.
Gu Chuan cried out in pain, which seemed to excite the tiger even more.
It kept tearing at Gu Chuan.
"Lili, Uncle was wrong! Tell the tiger to stop biting! If it bites again, I'll die!" Gu Chuan pleaded.
He suspected that the tiger was conjured by Gu Lili, after all, she had just conjured an iron rod and a wooden stick out of thin air.
"Sister, no! Gu Chuan deserves to die!" Gu Erniu hurriedly stopped her.
He was afraid that Gu Lili would really make the tiger stop, and if Gu Chuan survived, he would definitely take revenge on him and his sister.
Gu Erniu had already learned this lesson when Gu Chuan swung his knife at his own head.
Gu Lili nodded to Gu Erniu, ignoring Gu Chuan. After all, she wasn't the tiger's owner, was she?
He just watched coldly as the tiger tore him apart.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang arrived at the foot of the mountain with the village head and some villagers. Gu Jingsheng and Old Mrs. Gu also rushed over in a panic.
As soon as I arrived, I was stunned by the sight before me.
They had assumed that Gu Lili and her brother were now dead, but they never expected that Gu Chuan was being torn apart by a tiger.
The village head had lived most of his life, and this was the first time he had ever seen a tiger around the village.
Tigers usually live deep in the mountains and don't usually appear unless something happens.
"Chuan'er! My Chuan'er!" Old Mrs. Gu cried out in a pig-like voice.
She had never seen a tiger before and was terrified.
Gu Jingsheng, however, was somewhat rational and quickly ran to the front of the room.
"Village head, please save my Chuan'er!"
The village head and his men arrived in haste, without any weapons in their hands, and dared not rush forward rashly.
Gu Jingsheng sought help from the village headman precisely because he had no weapons.
"Old man Gu, what can we use to save him! We have nothing with us, who would dare to step forward!" Aunt Zhang said disdainfully.
Gu Jingsheng was speechless for a moment, and could only watch helplessly as his son was torn apart by the tiger.
Gu Chuan's screams echoed throughout the entire valley.
The tiger seemed to be annoyed by his noise and bit down hard on his neck.
Instantly, a large amount of blood gushed from Gu Chuan's neck.
The shouts and struggles gradually subsided.
The tiger, with its jaws on Gu Chuan's neck, swung it around like a rag doll, instantly flinging Gu Chuan in front of Gu Jingsheng.
This startled Gu Jingsheng, who retreated repeatedly.
The tiger raised its head and walked towards the villagers. The villagers were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated.
Gu Lili cried out in a panic, "No!"
The tiger seemed to understand Gu Lili's words, stopped, and turned to look at Gu Lili and her brother.
Gu Lili's heart was in her throat; she couldn't understand what the tiger meant.
Just now, she thought the tiger had come to repay a debt of gratitude, but now she doesn't think so anymore.
She didn't believe that wild animals could understand human nature; the tiger had already killed Gu Chuan and smelled the blood.
Perhaps in the next moment, they too will become victims of a tiger's jaws.
"Erniu, if the tiger charges, climb up the tree quickly!" Gu Lili whispered to Gu Erniu.
Gu Erniu glanced at the tree next to him and nodded.
The tiger glanced at Gu Lili and her brother, then licked the bloodstains from the corner of its mouth.
They swaggered off into the depths of the woods.
Watching the tiger disappear, Gu Lili finally felt relieved.
It seems that we can't draw conclusions about anything based solely on our own understanding.
However, this tiger is really good at dealing with people.
He even knows how to repay kindness! He's much better than some people!
After the tiger left, the villagers hurriedly gathered around Gu Chuan to check on him.
Gu Chuan had already died.
His body was covered in blood and gore, and there was a horrifying wound on his face.
The meat was all turned inside out, making it look nauseating.
Grandma Gu and Gu Jingsheng hesitated to step forward.
They could hardly believe it; their son, who had been alive and well that morning, was now dead right before their eyes.
"Gu Lili, you jinx! You're the one who killed my son!"
