Chapter 39 All the Villagers Come to See the Tiger

The dynasty that Su Zhi is in now is called Liang Dynasty, and the current emperor's surname is Shui. As soon as Su Zhi heard it, she knew that this was definitely not the 5,000-year history of China that she once knew. She is now in a space that is completely different from the original world, just like what is described in the novel.

As Li Shi said, the founding emperor of Liang State encountered life-threatening situations when he was expanding the territory. He was trapped by the enemy and was rescued by a white wolf, which helped him kill the enemy. Since then, the white wolf has become the sacred beast of Liang State and no one can kill it. Otherwise, it would be a capital crime if discovered.

"Over time, this white wolf has really been regarded as a holy beast, and civilians all regard it as a lucky beast. But it's not that easy to see a white wolf. We have heard of such a white wolf in Daqing Mountain for a long time, but I have never seen one. I didn't expect to see a small one today. Sister-in-law, you have even seen a big one!"

Li Shi said with some sigh.

Su Zhi thought there was such a story behind this. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about the safety of the family of four. They were holy beasts. Thinking of the intelligence of the three wolves and one dog, Su Zhi felt that they really deserved the title of holy beasts. If ordinary wolves saw people, they would definitely bite them, but they were so different that she was scared for a while, but then she felt that standing with them was like getting along with people, except that they could not communicate with language. They were really spiritual.

"The imperial court attaches great importance to white wolves and forbids people from killing them. What if they bite civilians? Can't the people fight back?"

Su Zhi asked curiously.

Shen Zian said, "This white wolf is rare, it's not easy to encounter it. Even if you encounter one, how many people do you think can defeat it? Even if you fight, you probably won't win much. Winning or losing is all up to fate. If you lose, you die, but if you win, you can naturally find a way. You can't really pay for your life with a wolf."

Li Shi also laughed and said, "If the white wolf really bit someone, the government would naturally invite it back to serve it well."

Su Zhi nodded, thinking that it was true. How many people could defeat a wolf? Even if there were someone who could, they would definitely have a way to deal with the wolf. Moreover, white wolves were rare, so it was not easy to encounter one. She was so lucky that she encountered two of them, one big and one small.

Li Shi added: "I heard from people who have seen white wolves that they don't bite people. It turns out it's true. It seems that the blessing of Daqing Mountain is also the blessing of Hebian Village."

The three of them talked for a while, and then prepared to leave. All of them were injured to varying degrees.

Su Zhi took Shen Zian to see the chestnuts and the ginseng.

Shen Zian and Li Shi were staring at the ginseng in a daze. They didn't know much about ginseng, but they all knew that it was a good thing. The ginseng in front of them was obviously of a good age, and it could still grow so juicy in this late autumn and early winter season. It was really a gift from God.

"Congratulations, brother Zi'an, and my sister-in-law. With this ginseng, you can make a lot of money, and this winter will be easier for you. Next year, you can build a house and buy some good land. Your life will be prosperous, and the people in the old house of the Shen family will be jealous."

Li Shi was happy for them. He thought, this sister-in-law is not a lucky star, she is a lucky star. Have you ever seen a lucky star who is so capable and lucky enough to meet the holy beast and pick ginseng? If she goes back and tells them about this, there will definitely be people who don't believe she is a lucky star.

Shen Zian was also very happy, but when he thought about how his wife had suffered and was frightened before she saw the ginseng, most of his joy disappeared.

"Wife, you can do with this ginseng. If you don't want to sell it, keep it for your health."

Su Zhi smiled and looked at Shen Zian, saying, "Just leave a few ginseng roots for future use, and sell the rest. Maybe we'll have another chance to pick them in the future. Now the most important thing is to sell them and earn money to live a good life."

Li Shi and Shen Zi'an were thinking that ginseng can't be picked whenever you want. At least they had never heard of anyone picking ginseng in the Daqing Mountain. Even if someone did, it was very small and couldn't be sold for much money. That was a long time ago. How could ginseng look so pleasing to the eye?

Li Shi and Shen Zi'an carefully dug out all the ginseng, not even leaving a single whisker. When the ginseng's true appearance was revealed, not only they, but also Su Zhi's eyes sparkled.

Li Shi said, "I have been out there for a few years and have seen whole ginseng, but I have never seen such good ginseng. Zi'an, sister-in-law, I'm afraid you can't sell this ginseng in town. You have to sell it in the city. Don't let others cheat you out of your money. If you sell it, you have to keep it a secret to avoid people getting jealous."

Shen Zian and Su Zhi nodded. They really had to be on guard against this guy.

Shen Zian carefully wrapped the ginseng and was about to put it in the bamboo basket when he was stopped by Su Zhi. She wanted to use the bamboo basket to put the chestnuts, but she couldn't put so many chestnuts back in and had to try again a few more times.

In the end, Su Zhi's basket was full and she went down the mountain carrying heavy things in her hands. They were in a very good mood. Even though they were all injured, they gained a lot, which was a happy event for them.

After going down the mountain, the three men went home to put down their things, and then Li Shi went to call for help to carry the two tigers down from the mountain. The two tigers could not be lifted by just the two men.

After a while, several men stood in front of Shen Zian's house. They were all asked by Li Shi to carry the tiger. They were more excited than each other. Killing a tiger is not a common thing. No one has killed a tiger for at least several decades. This is a big deal!

Shen Zian asked Su Zhi to stay at home to look after the house, and he followed a group of people up the mountain.

Less than an hour later, the two tigers were carried down from the mountain. Shen Zian took the lead and had them carried to Li Shi's home. He didn't want his wife to be frightened again.

No one in Hebian Village had seen a tiger for many years, let alone killed one, let alone two tigers at once. The news spread as soon as Li Shi asked people to help carry the tiger. It spread throughout Hebian Village in just one hour. Everyone who heard about it ran to the east side of the river. People came to see the tiger all along the way. The sounds of excitement never stopped. Adults shouted to children, and it was very lively as if they were gathering together.

Li Shi's father, stepmother, elder brother and younger brother were all here. Their greedy eyes made Li Shi uncomfortable. When he heard someone praising him, he immediately said loudly that it was Shen Zian who shot the tigers. He was just an assistant. He also thought so. Almost one and a half of the two tigers were shot by Shen Zian. He just shot and injured one tiger. He had to share the lion's share of the money from selling the tigers with Shen Zian. Now that his father, mother and brothers were here, he had to make it clear in public to prevent them from having any evil thoughts.

When everyone heard that it was Shen Zian who killed the tiger, they immediately praised Shen Zian. Shen Zian had always had a good reputation in the village. Even though he married a poor woman, people would still welcome him with a smile when he was alone. Most people sympathized with him. Now that he killed the tiger, almost everyone believed it.

As everyone was talking excitedly, a piercing sound was heard. Li Shi and Shen Zi'an's brows wrinkled. When the others heard this, they thought there was going to be something interesting to watch.
