Seeing Dahu's vigilant look, Xu Miaomiao was still a little surprised, because although Dahu is a ferocious beast, it is not aggressive towards humans who have not harmed it. Seeing these people look so ferocious, something must have happened.
Xu Miaomiao thought over and over again in her mind, and sure enough, just as she finished thinking this sentence, she saw a person in the crowd holding a cage with two tiger cubs in the cage. Seeing the two cubs in the cage, Xu Miaomiao guessed that this was the reason why Da Hu was so manic now, and immediately stepped forward, looked at Wang Mang and spoke.
"This tiger is a ferocious beast. Why do you think you can defeat it and snatch its child from it? Besides, Wang Mang, have you forgotten how you lost your leg?"
“Xu Miaomiao, shut up.” Wang Mang stared at Xu Miaomiao with bloodshot eyes, and said in a strong tone that he wanted to rush off the chair and tear Xu Miaomiao into pieces. He pointed at Xu Miaomiao with a trembling finger and said, “If you didn’t protect me and insisted on going to that beast, how could I lose my leg? Now I want to take down this beast to avenge my leg. Come on.”
When everyone heard Wang Mang's order, they all picked up the sticks in their hands and prepared to attack the big tiger in front of them. However, the tiger was so ferocious, and the sharp claws on its fingertips and the exposed teeth in its mouth made people tremble all over. They all hesitated with their forks in their hands, not daring to move forward.
They had captured the two tiger cubs previously only because they got separated from the big tiger due to playfulness, which allowed them to catch them successfully. Otherwise, they would not have been able to catch the big tiger.
Seeing that everyone was beginning to hesitate, Wang Mang said with some dissatisfaction: "How come you all forgot that your wives and children are waiting for you at home? If you don't go catch the tiger, how are you going to survive this cold winter? Are you going to eat your own children?"
After hearing Wang Mang's words, everyone's eyes became sharp. The war between the two sides was about to break out. Wang Mang looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Xu Miaomiao, I advise you to get out of the way quickly. These people are all furious now. If they don't take down these big tigers, they will be the ones to die. Do you think they will not fight hard because of this matter?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she didn't take it seriously and stood in front of Dahu, not daring to retreat. Dahu seemed to sense the danger and immediately walked in front of Xu Miaomiao and protected him behind him, fearing that Xu Miaomiao would also be involved in this birthday dispute and get involved in any accident.
Xu Miaomiao was a little overwhelmed by Dahu's behavior. With her here today, no one can bully Dahu in the back mountain. However, if the two sides really fight, I'm afraid both sides will end up suffering losses.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao looked at them and immediately said, "Now, even if you hunt these tigers, how can you be sure that they can survive this cold winter? You might as well listen to my advice and release these two tigers."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, everyone disagreed. Wang Mang was even a little angry and said, "Xu Miaomiao, if it weren't for you, how could we come here to hunt in the back mountain again and do such a dangerous thing? Now, the two tigers have such an end, which is not caused by you alone. Why are you pretending to be a good person here? I tell you, even if I can't catch the big tiger behind you, I will take these two tigers back, skin them, chop off their paws, make delicious food, and present them to the nobles in Bai County. I believe that the paws of these young tigers are the most valuable, so they will definitely be sold at a good price."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao clenched his palms tightly. Although he met these young tigers for the first time, his friendship with the big tigers was true. He had watched these young tigers grow up step by step before. He would never allow such a thing to happen. Xu Miaomiao immediately persuaded the people in front of him and said, "Even if you take these tigers back, you have no way to gather enough food for the winter. Besides, although the tiger skins and tiger paws are valuable, even if you catch them all, you can't sell them for much silver. At most, it's only enough for the living needs of your twenty families. What about the others? Are they just abandoned alive like this? No matter how much hunting you do, you can't store enough food for the winter before winter and spend this winter safely without any reason."
Everyone looked at each other with dismay when they heard this. Seeing that they were all beginning to hesitate, Xu Miaomiao immediately took advantage of the situation and continued, "Besides, do you think that Wang Mang is such a man that he would share the silver with you and give it to you fairly and justly? Maybe you have come here to fight for your lives in vain, and in the end you can't get anything back, and can only watch others enjoy the silver."
The man holding the fork in front was obviously a little shaken. He looked at Xu Miaomiao with a twitching look in his eyes. He thought for a long time, and then he looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Then according to what you said, what should we do?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything, but looked at the person in front of him and continued, "Although I haven't thought of a good solution at the moment, I only know that it is absolutely impossible for you to hunt. Why do you do such a dangerous thing for such a tiny hope, and even risk your life? Think about it, if something happens to you while hunting in the back mountain, what will happen to your wives and children at home?"
Every word Xu Miaomiao said was heart-wrenching, making people around her think about backing off.
Wang Mang glared at Xu Miaomiao in dissatisfaction when he saw this, and immediately encouraged everyone to say, "But if you don't go hunting now, what other livelihoods can you have? This is our chance. Are you discouraged by Xu Miaomiao's words? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for him or her, how could our good land be lost for no reason? She has no other way now, so why don't we do what we should do? Maybe someone can spend this winter safely."
Wang Mang immediately instigated everyone to rebel, but Xu Miaomiao was not in a hurry. She touched the soft hair beside her and looked at the people in front of her.
Everyone listened to Xu Miaomiao's words first, then to Wang Mang's words, and began to raise money in a dilemma. It was obvious that hunting was not enough to raise the silver they needed.
