Chapter 016
Facing the huge threat from tigers, Baizhang Village showed a fearless spirit.
The main place where the tiger stayed made the villagers angry. That hilltop was the ancestral grave of Baizhang Village.
The bullying is brought upon the ancestors, how can this be tolerated?
Being angry does not mean losing your mind. Everyone knows that tigers are not easy to mess with, and there are also villagers who know that tigers are not easy to mess with, but still decide to mess with them. Mainly villagers who are good at farming think that they should report to the government, but villagers who are good at hunting think that people
If you have more power, you might be able to kill the tiger and make everyone a fortune.
So the villagers in the village were divided into two factions, the tiger-fighting faction and the government-reporting faction.
The two factions were engaged in a heated exchange of words, but the old patriarch, the backbone of the village, did not express any opinions from the beginning to the end, which was a bit abnormal.
And both groups have good reasons.
The tiger-fighting faction believes that if you report it to the government, the government will naturally send someone over. It was false in the past and everyone could fool it. But this time it is true. The government officials will definitely not evacuate the village until the tiger is killed.
How is it possible to afford food and drink for dozens of people? What to do if you have no money? You can only let the young and old men in the village go into battle together and beat the tiger to death with the help of many people.
However, the reporter firmly believes that tigers can eat people and are also cunning. If a person can kill a tiger, is there any way for tigers to survive in this world? What if a person in the village is killed by a tiger because of hunting a tiger? In the end,
If the tiger hasn't been killed yet, doesn't it mean both ends are empty?
Of course, there is also a small group of people who have a rather discordant view: Li Kui brought the tiger to the cemetery, so Li Kui should be left to deal with it.
It is said that this small group of people are the least popular?
Once Li Kui was angered and beaten, he deserved it. Under the threat of death from Li Kui, people with such thoughts chose to shut up.
Secondly, everyone understands that if a person encounters a tiger in the wild, he is lucky enough to run away. How can he dare to provoke this golden-haired beast? No one has ever thought whether Li Kui could kill a tiger by himself.
"Third uncle, can you just say a few words?"
Seeing that the two factions were arguing, it was hard for the tigers to keep quiet and start a fight in the village, right? In desperation, they could only ask the old clan leader to come forward and uphold justice.
The old patriarch glanced at the clansmen in the village, snorted coldly, became quite annoyed, and began to make sarcastic remarks angrily: "Is the quarrel over? No results have been achieved? Keep quarreling!"
"Third uncle, you always have the most prestige in the village. Even if everyone has discussed and come up with ideas for all matters big and small in the village, in the end, you still have to uphold justice. We don't bother the two masters with one thing, and you always suffer.
Just choose one.”
"I chose you, but Dalin and the others are not convinced, so they still have to argue! The old man won't do such offending things!"
The old patriarch is still in control. He has done things all day long to make the juniors unable to step down, and he has never felt guilty! Now, he is just putting on a show, so that these juniors dare not be angry and dare not speak out.
"Third Uncle, let's be fair. What's wrong with killing a tiger? If the tiger is killed, the skin can be sold, the meat can be eaten, and even the bones can be collected. This tiger is full of treasures. Besides, forget it.
It’s the reporting officer. If someone comes from the county, our village will be responsible for the supply of wine and meat. Wouldn’t it mean that my family will be ruined?”
"But tigers are very ferocious. Not to mention biting people, even if they are scratched by their claws, they will be seriously injured. If you hit the tiger, you will risk your life if you don't hit the tiger."
The old patriarch finally understood that those who supported tiger hunting were mostly greedy for money, but the number was too small, so they felt unreliable and wanted to involve the whole village.
And what about those who support reporting to officials? For one reason, they are afraid of death.
Being afraid of death is nothing to be ashamed of, and it's okay to say it.
The old patriarch thought for a while, then nodded and said: "In that case, shoot the tiger first. If the young people in the village can't tame the tiger, then report it to the official."
"Third Uncle!" This was a sign of unwillingness to be beaten to death.
"Third uncle, please take a look!"
The old man shook his head and said proudly: "I have to say it up front, the tribesmen who go to hunt tigers must go voluntarily. You can't force others to go if they don't want to hunt tigers, right? This is not giving people a way to survive. Our surname is Li in Baizhang Village
The tribesmen are not capable of such shameful things. Those who support reporting to officials also look down upon the tribesmen who hunt tigers. If they catch a tiger, all the benefits will be theirs. But hunting tigers is risky. If it fails, people will be hurt.
, what do you think of the amount of food you get? Li Kui is still a child, too young, and has a widowed mother to support, so don’t worry about it. Li Quan is a fool. He can only feed tigers, and don’t think about taking care of him.
Fuck him."
"Just do what Third Uncle wants. But, Third Uncle! I still think it's better to report to the official. We are all brothers in the clan. If something happens, how will we deal with orphans and widows?"
"Don't worry about it. The clan won't just watch people starve to death."
Even though this was settled, the people who wanted to fight the tiger were dumbfounded. In their original plan, Li Kui and Li Quan were the main members of the tiger fighting team. One was powerful and the other was outstanding in martial arts. These two people
If people don't go, the strength of the tiger fighting team will immediately drop by 70%. Originally, there will be fewer people who support the tiger fighting, and the sharp-eyed women will also pull the men of their own families.
If you really die in the tiger's mouth, how will you live in the future?
As a result, there were fewer and fewer tribesmen who supported fighting tigers. In the end, Dalin was the only one standing stupidly in the open space, almost flying away in anger.
This is so ungrateful. Is this still a human being?
At this time, the old patriarch's momentum suddenly increased. He found a piece of firewood from nowhere, and greeted Dalin with all his face, and said in his mouth: "I want you to hunt the tiger, the tiger is a coward like you."
Can you mess with me? You look like a bear, you want to fight a tiger, and you dare to make trouble in front of me..."
The old man beat him once, covered his knees with his hands, threw the firewood stick beside him, panted and threatened: "Don't run away!"
Li Lin was also dumbfounded. They agreed to share the same hatred, but the brothers immediately fell apart, which made him feel sad that everyone had betrayed their relatives. He was chased and beaten by the old patriarch, but he could not run away. While running, he begged for mercy: "Third Uncle
,I was wrong, wrong!”
Finally, the third uncle made a decisive decision and announced: "Report to the official and go tomorrow."
So the debate ended.
Let’s talk about the wise master.
He almost killed Li Kui at that time to solve this big hidden danger, but Li Kui used a dirty trick and injured his eye socket with a stone egg. Although the eyeball was not smashed, he knew that the injured eye was probably blind.
Zhishang was a dark-hearted and cautious person. After he escaped, he immediately ran around in the mountains and forests without giving Li Kui a chance to catch up.
Then after hiding in the forest for a day and a night, I decided that Li Kui didn't have much patience and should go back to the village, so I returned to his lair. It was the cave where he usually slept.
After entering the cave, he was dumbfounded. All his belongings had been looted, and the pills he regarded as treasures were also smashed and thrown together by Li Kui, a bastard. The pills were mixed with soil.
All kinds of different medicines were mixed together, and they were obviously no longer usable. He didn't dare to take them. If they weren't mixed together, they could kill people. Seeing this scene, Master Lingzhi's heart was bleeding with pain.
Seeing that some pills seemed to be still usable, I picked them up and sniffed them at the tip of my nose. I immediately threw the pills away angrily. I rubbed my fingers on the stone wall with my fingers holding the pills. My face turned green with disgust: "It's urine!"
If Li Kui were here, he would definitely be happy to argue: "The young master is a person who has a clear sense of grudges. He likes to do everything to the bad guys. What can you do to me?"
Under the light of the torch, the sinister face of Master Lingzhi became even more ferocious. One of his eye sockets was simply bandaged with a rag, making it even more weird. His eyes suddenly fell on the destroyed elixir.
On the stone wall, I saw two lines of words written in charcoal: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever. Li Kui will stay!"
"Are you surprised or surprised?"
These two sentences are plain and simple, but they seem to freeze Master Lingzhi, and they seem to have endless magic power.
Is this Li Kui?
He had always thought of him as a silly boy from the mountains.
What made him even more angry was that Li Kui didn't know how to read.
Thinking of the spiritual master who once believed that Li Kui was a fool, he could no longer bear the trouble caused by deception, especially when Li Kui hid it so deeply.
flutter--
A mouthful of blood spurted onto the stone wall.
