Tiger Girl glanced at Old Man Li.
Old Li nodded. He thought that Xiaoman must really like Hu Niu, which was why he was willing to take her into the mountains.
Tiger Girl looked at Xiaoman and asked, "Captain, what are your requirements?"
"Don't tell children you hunt. If they ask you what you're doing in the mountains, tell them it's dangerous. There are tigers, wolves, and snakes. If you sneak in, you'll be eaten by tigers and wolves. Got it?"
"I've got it."
“Repeat it.”
"Okay." Tiger Girl repeated Xiaoman's words.
Xiaoman looked into Huniu's eyes and said, "If you make a mistake even once, I won't want you anymore. You won't be a militia member anymore. Got it?"
Tiger Girl nodded emphatically: "I'll remember."
“I’ve given you some things, but you can’t brag about them to others. You’re just a kid.”
Tiger Girl blinked: "Captain, what's showing off?"
Han Yong: "Showing off is just bragging. The captain gave you some stuff, you can't show it off to others. Understand?"
"Understood. Captain, I won't show off to others."
"If you show off to others, I won't share anything with you."
"I'm very tight-lipped. If you don't believe me, ask my grandpa."
Xiaoman patted Hu Niu's head: "I believe you."
After explaining things to Hu Niu, Xiao Man looked at the militiamen and said, "Since Uncle Li taught us, he is our master. And his granddaughter is our niece."
Han Yong: "That's right. Tiger Girl, if anyone bullies you in the future, tell your uncle, and your uncle will beat him up."
The other militia members also said they would protect Tiger Girl.
Old Li gave Xiaoman a grateful look. Even if only one of these people remembered what he said today, he wouldn't have lost out. "Just for what you said, I have to teach you well."
After distributing the meat, Xiaoman told everyone to go home.
Han Yong's wife was sewing shoe soles when suddenly a large piece of meat appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw Han Yong had returned: "Did you find something?"
Han Yong gave a smug "hmm".
"So fast?!"
"Uncle Li taught us for two days, and we found a wild boar in no time."
"Then Wang Xiaoman threw in a clod of dirt?"
"No, neither the captain nor Uncle Li did anything today. The wild boar was killed by Tie Zhu and the others."
"You guys?" Han Yong's wife didn't believe it: "Just two days ago you were chasing after wild boars, and today you've managed to kill one?"
"What? You don't believe me? We really did kill this wild boar."
Han Yong's wife was surprised: "How did you kill the wild boar?"
"The team leader divided us into three groups..." After finishing his explanation, Han Yong looked at his wife and said, "Do you still think Wang Xiaoman shouldn't be the team leader?"
"I...I did it all for you?"
Han Yong glared at his wife: "For my sake, Wang Xiaoman should be the team leader. Wang Xiaoman is capable, so he should be the team leader."
Then, Han Yong told us about the small portion of meat: "You know, besides me, there are quite a few people in our village who want to learn hunting from Uncle Li. But Uncle Li has been ignoring us."
Han Yong put the meat on the table: "I think Uncle Li agreed to the village chief's request for two reasons. First, he wanted the village chief to owe him a favor. Second, he wanted to take Tiger Girl into the mountains. Uncle Li probably felt that he was too old and Tiger Girl was too young, so it wasn't safe for them to go into the mountains. That's why he dragged us along. As soon as Wang Xiaoman said that, Uncle Li immediately said he would definitely teach us well. Why didn't I think of Tiger Girl when I asked Uncle Li to teach me how to hunt?"
"Who would have thought of her? She's just a little baby."
"Human King Xiaoman could have thought of that."
Han Bin's wife fell silent.
Han Bin glanced at his wife: "If it weren't for Wang Xiaoman, I wouldn't have been able to learn Uncle Li's skills. Others can take away a team leader, but no one can take away skills. It's a pity that Wang Xiaoman will be joining the army next year."
"I thought Wang Xiaoman only knew how to hit people."
Han Yong glanced in the direction of Han Li's house and said, "They deserved to be beaten."
"If I disagree with her becoming the team leader that day, will she make things difficult for you?"
"No. Wang Xiaoman is very generous."
Han Yong's wife felt uneasy: "How about I apologize to her?"
"No need. People didn't take what you said to heart at all."
Han Yong's wife looked at the meat on the table and said, "How about I bring her some dumplings?"
"No need. Wang Xiaoman isn't angry. If you're making dumplings, take some to Uncle Li. He and Hu Niu probably don't know how to make dumplings."
Han Yong's wife put the shoe soles away: "Okay, I'll send them to both families."
"Go ahead and give it to him if you want. Give it to Uncle Li first, he's getting old."
"knew."
Old Li's house.
Tiger Girl hugged the small piece of meat tightly, reluctant to put it down: "Grandpa, this was given to me by the team leader."
Old Li smiled and nodded.
"Grandpa, the captain said I'm a little militiaman."
"Um."
Tiger Girl looked at the meat in her hand: "Grandpa, I can't bear to eat it."
Old Li patted Tiger Girl's head: "Then don't eat it."
“But…” Tiger Girl frowned, “It will go bad if we don’t eat it.”
"Let's make it into jerky."
"Dried meat will also smell bad if it's left out for too long."
"You want to keep it forever?"
"Um."
Old Li rubbed Tiger Girl's head: "If I had known you wanted to keep it, Grandpa would have asked the team leader to give you a bone. Or, Grandpa will go and get you a bone?"
"No, this meat was given to me by the captain."
"You mean the bones weren't given to you by the captain, and you don't want them?"
Tiger Girl nodded.
"They're all from the same pig, no need to be so particular."
"You need to distinguish them; they are not the same."
"Grandpa wants to tell you..."
The grandfather and granddaughter were arguing when Han Yong's wife arrived: "Uncle Li, are you home? I made some dumplings, and Yongzi asked me to bring some to you and Hu Niu."
"Yes, come in."
As soon as Han Yong's wife came in, she saw Hu Niu frowning: "Oh, what's wrong with Hu Niu?"
Old Li explained the situation.
Han Yong's wife: "That's easy, just have Wang Xiaoman give the child a bone."
Old Man Li: "It's not that I don't want to trouble people."
"What's so troublesome about this?" Han Yong's wife put the dumplings on the table and looked at Hu Niu, saying, "Come on, Auntie will take you there."
Tiger Girl looked at Old Man Li. Old Man Li knew Tiger Girl really wanted to go: "Go ahead, and remember to thank the captain."
"Okay." Tiger Girl handed the meat in her hand to Old Man Li: "Grandpa, please keep an eye on it for me."
"Um."
Han Yong's wife brought Hu Niu home and brought back a plate of dumplings.
When Xiaoman heard that Han Yong's wife had brought her dumplings, she came out of the house and said, "I'm not angry."
“I know, I… I just wanted to thank you. Thank you for teaching my son Yongzi how to hunt.”
Xiaoman looked at Huniu: "He just needs to remember what he said today."
“I remember, I remember. Captain, Tiger Girl wants to keep that piece of meat. Her grandfather asked her for a bone, but she refused. She said it wasn't from you. Could you give the child another bone? If you give her a bone, she'll be willing to eat that piece of meat.”
Xiaoman: "Okay, I'll go get it. You guys wait here."
Tiger Girl's eyes lit up immediately: "Thank you, Captain."
Han Yong's wife: "Okay."
After Xiaoman left, Dani ran over, grabbed Huniu's hand, and shook it: "Huniu, why do you want bones? You can't eat bones."
Tiger Girl didn't say anything.
Da Ni: "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you not going to be friends with me anymore?"
