Chapter 9 The Tiger's Return
Xu Miaomiao took the money and immediately asked someone to dig a well. When the well was not dug yet, she got water from her neighbors.
All her neighbors knew about her family's situation and were happy to lend her water.
I just heard that after Wang Xing'er went back home, her whole body was itchy and covered with densely packed small bumps. She went to see the village doctor that night but was refused.
Everyone talked about it with relish, saying that it was the retribution Wang Xing'er deserved.
However, Xu Miaomiao stared at the mirror with a worried look on her face, and sighed from time to time while pinching the plate that she used to hit her face.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Erbao led Sanbao up to her and asked.
Xu Miaomiao pinched the two children's faces. Under her care, the two children's faces grew a lot of flesh.
"Mom is fine."
"Oh." Erbao nodded stupidly and turned to go outside to play.
Xu Miaomiao made a secret decision in front of the mirror: she must lose weight.
As night fell, Xu Miaomiao sighed as she looked at the man lying on the bed.
Looking at the scar on the man's face, she took out the ointment she made and applied it on his face. Perhaps because of the cold touch, the man frowned slightly.
"Xu Miaomiao, what are you doing!"
Song Weiwei pushed her away. As soon as she came in, she saw Xu Miaomiao smearing on her brother's face. Song Weiwei stood in front of Song Wushao and said, "Xu Miaomiao, what did you do to my brother?"
Xu Miaomiao spread her hands helplessly: "I just want to heal the wound on his face, you see."
Xu Miaomiao handed over the plaster. Song Weiwei tentatively picked it up and smelled it, then quickly threw the medicine on the ground: "Don't give me that, you are the one who caused the injury on my brother's face, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty!"
After saying that, Song Weiwei turned around and left without forgetting to warn Xu Miaomiao: "I'm telling you, I'm watching you, don't even think about hurting my brother."
Watching the little ancestor leave, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The next morning -
Xu Miaomiao, who was determined to lose weight, finished exercising in the yard, then walked towards the back mountain with a basket.
After digging a hole in the ground and placing the trap, Xu Miaomiao clapped her hands and took a hoe to dig some herbs.
"roar-"
The sound of a tiger's roar was heard, and Xu Miaomiao looked around vigilantly.
Three tiger cubs jumped out from a bush, and Xu Miaomiao recognized them at a glance as the one she met last time.
The little tiger's eyes turned and it slowly walked towards Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao tentatively reached out and touched its fur.
The little tiger immediately came over and surrounded Xu Miaomiao.
"roar-"
Another sound was heard. The tigress held a bloody rabbit in her mouth and glanced at Xu Miaomiao. She dropped the rabbit and called out to the three little tigers to leave.
Xu Miaomiao picked up the rabbit tentatively: "Is this for me???"
"roar-"
The tigress roared again and raised her head very smartly.
Watching the tiger leave, Xu Miaomiao was overjoyed: she actually became friends with a ferocious beast.
As the sun sets, Xu Miaomiao puts away his hoe and heads towards his trap.
I saw five or six rabbits lying in the hole, and two pheasants fluttering around.
Xu Miaomiao was overjoyed. She threw the pheasant into the space, packed up the rabbit, and went home happily.
As soon as he came out of the mountain, Xu Miaomiao met a group of villagers who were planning to go into the mountain.
They seemed to be a little surprised to see her coming out of the mountain alone and safe and sound: "Mrs. Song, did Madam Song come out by herself???"
Xu Miaomiao nodded. She was in a hurry to go home to deal with the rabbit, but the person in front of her didn't want to let her go. She stopped her and asked about her hunting experience.
She just responded casually that it was good luck and hurried home.
"Wow, mom is amazing."
Erbao couldn't help drooling as he stared at the rabbit meat in the pot.
Xu Miaomiao patted her head lovingly: "Go play outside for a while, mother will be ready soon."
"Um."
Xu Miaomiao skillfully skinned seven rabbits, then air-dried the rabbit meat and hung it on the eaves.
What she made today was stir-frying, and the aroma of the rabbit meat was so tempting that one couldn’t help but linger.
Those who went into the mountains returned in disappointment. As soon as they got back to the village, they smelled the aroma of meat and went over to check it out out of curiosity.
I saw Xu Miaomiao and his family having a delicious meal in the yard, and even the eaves of the house were hung full of decorations.
"Mrs. Song's hunting skills are so amazing that even a few of us grown men can't compare to her."
Xu Miaomiao frowned, picked up a bowl of rabbit meat and handed it to them, wanting to quickly show off to them: "You are all polite, I am just lucky, if you don't mind, please eat some."
Everyone was not polite and praised Xu Miaomiao's cooking skills while eating.
Soon, the bottom of the bowl was empty. Everyone was still a little unsatisfied. They looked at Xu Miaomiao greedily and said, "Madam Song, can you take us into the mountains with you in the future?"
With someone taking the lead, voices began to rise one after another: “Yes, Madam Song, take one of us.”
Xu Miaomiao was immediately in trouble. The back mountain was dangerous. Even she was able to come out safely because she knew Da Hu, but if she brought a large group of people with her, danger would inevitably occur: "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to, but the back mountain is dangerous. As everyone knows, even I was lucky to escape. I really can't guarantee your safety."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces changed. One person blamed them: "Tsk, I think they don't want to take us there at all."
"Could it be that you want to occupy the mountain and become the king yourself?"
"Bah, shameless."
Erbao threw down his bowl and chopsticks and stood in front of Xu Miaomiao: "You are not allowed to bully mother."
The woman who came over nearby spitted and said, "Humph, you shameless and lowly woman, you are so selfish that you bring your little hoof with you, right?"
Xu Miaomiao's face changed, and she quickly held Erbao in her arms: "My things were not stolen or robbed, so it's fine if you blame me, but why insult the child."
Some hunters looked at each other and realized that they had said too much. They softened their voices and said, "Madam Song, we are desperate, so we want you to lead us. Please agree."
"That's right, if you don't agree, don't even think about entering the mountain in the future!!!"
Xu Miaomiao sneered and said, "I can promise you, but you all have to listen to me."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao give in, everyone left triumphantly. The woman at the side rolled her eyes in delight, muttering, "Tsk, you little bastard, you're still fighting with me, you have to compromise."
Xu Miaomiao quickly covered Erbao's ears, afraid that she would hear it.
He stared at the backs of the people leaving, with a dark light in his eyes that was hard to see through.
——
The next day, it was clear, and everyone gathered together and knocked on Xu Miaomiao's door.
“Dangdangdang—”
As soon as Xu Miaomiao opened her mouth, she saw eight or nine men holding knives and forks in their hands, spitting as they spoke: "Madam Song, when are we leaving?"
Xu Miaomiao frowned and glanced at the sleeping children in the room, then called them outside: "Too many people won't do, it will easily attract attention. Only five people can come every day, you can discuss and take turns."
Everyone looked at each other, and none of them wanted to quit. It was only when Xu Miaomiao stepped in that the troops were divided and the troops were discharged.
