Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Lin Yinan grabbed the sword and rushed out.

Yun Shiyi, who was in charge of keeping watch outside, jumped down from a big tree and formed a circle with all the secret guards.

The horse tied to the tree was still paddling the ground restlessly with its hooves.

Lin Yinan looked at them, staring at the direction of the mountain with alert eyes.

It was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing. Strangely, the cicadas and frogs had stopped chirping.

She whispered, "What's that over there?"

The little secret guard beside him shook his head slightly, "I don't know, it seems that something that the horse is very afraid of is approaching this way."

Lin Yinan concentrated and listened carefully. Apart from the occasional snorting of the horses and the breathing of the others, the mountainside was eerily quiet.

She took out a night vision goggles from her sleeve and put them on her head. The secret guards had also seen her wearing this strange thing on the way south.

At this time, the two sisters Qianxia came out with torches. Seeing that it was pitch black all around, they took out dry firewood and lit a fire.

Lin Yinan looked towards the mountainside again, and saw several pairs of glowing eyes swaying in a dense forest.

If you look closely, you'll find that they have short ears and a round head. They don't look like wolves. In the darkness, you can faintly see white stripes on their bodies.

She was confused, and it took her a while to realize that the South China tiger lived in the south and they were not extinct in ancient times.

"It's a tiger!"

As soon as Lin Yinan finished speaking, the tiger lying in ambush in the woods moved and pounced towards where they were standing.

In the light of the burning fire, everyone could clearly see there were three tigers in total, two large and one small.

Before he could think about it, Lin Yinan suddenly had a submachine gun in his hand, and he fired a volley of bullets at the tiger running in front.

The first tiger blocked all the bullets and fell to the ground with a bang when it was about to rush in front of the crowd.

The fallen tiger struggled violently to get up, roaring loudly, the powerful and deep sound penetrated the dense forests and hit the eardrums.

Yun Shiyi and the secret guards raised their swords and slashed at the two tigers that rushed over.

Lin Yinan put away his submachine gun, drew out his sword, and stabbed the tiger's throat hard. The tiger twitched twice and then became motionless.

I kept repeating to myself, what a sin! What a sin!

Before the zombie outbreak in the previous life, there were only a few South China tigers left and they were on the verge of extinction.

Seeing the tiger here die, the big tiger that was fighting with Yun Shiyi let out a strong and brave tiger roar from time to time, and the same was true for the young tiger next to it.

The secret guards watched the two tigers' every move intently.

Hearing the response from the tiger on the ground, the two tigers roared, opened their bloody mouths, and pounced on the secret guards.

The secret guards were agile and dodged the tiger's attack. Then they cooperated with each other and took the opportunity to raise their swords and stab it, causing it to bleed profusely. The tiger was overwhelmed with pain and soon collapsed to the ground, being killed by the secret guards in one fell swoop.

The tiger that was confronting Yun Shiyi saw this and pounced like crazy, but was soon killed by everyone.

It was unknown how long it took before the forest gradually returned to calm.

After counting, it was estimated that the three tigers killed were from a family of three. The first tiger to be shot dead was a male tiger. The adult tiger weighed about 400 to 500 kilograms, and the young tiger weighed 100 to 200 kilograms.

Two of the secret guards had tiger scratches on their arms, and the Chinatsu sisters helped clean the wounds and apply medicine.

"Madam, what should we do with these three tigers?"

While they were fighting the tiger, Lin Yinan had already dug out all the bullet casings.

Tigers are all valuable. These three tigers have scratches all over their bodies, and their good skins are almost ruined.

"Tiger bones and tiger meat cannot be wasted."

Three tigers weigh over a thousand pounds!

"But it's too hot to keep it. Otherwise, I'll have someone send it back to the county town." Yun Shiyi asked tentatively with a frown.

It would take a day to send him back to the county town. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yinan said, "Where is the nearest village from here?"

The secret guard opened the map and pointed to the nearest village and said, "It's in Baiwei Village, thirty miles away."

"Okay, we'll take the tiger meat and sell it to the nearby villagers."

After the secret guard's wound was bandaged, Yun Shiyi said after some consideration, "The bloody smell here is too strong. I'm afraid it will attract other frozen creatures. We shouldn't stay here for long. We should set off early."

Lin Yinan looked up at the sky. There was already a hint of paleness in the sky. It was almost dawn and there was no point in staying here any longer.

"Then let's get going."

So, the Qianxia sisters and the secret guards each gave up a horse to carry the dead tiger, and the group traveled in the dark to Baiwei Village.

Nearly an hour later, they stopped at the entrance of Baiwei Village.

It was already bright in the sky, and smoke was rising from every household in the village.

Soon, when the villagers who went out to fetch water saw a group of people dressed in black at the village entrance through the curling smoke, they were so scared that they threw their loads to the ground and ran to the village chief's house.

He ran and shouted, "Village Chief! It's bad! A group of bandits are coming to the village entrance!"

Soon, the whole village was in an uproar!

The village chief took the lead, beating the gong, followed by villagers holding hoes and shovels, and all rushed to the village entrance.

"Who is coming?"

The village chief panted, pointed at Lin Yinan and others who were riding on horses and shouted.

The villagers behind him were even more on guard, holding up farm tools and pointing them at the man on the horse.

Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows slightly. The villagers in this village are quite vigilant.

Yun Shiyi looked down at the village chief and took off the token from his waist.

"Does the village chief recognize this?"

The village chief walked forward a few steps and stared at the token with narrowed eyes. After a closer look, he was shocked and bowed quickly.

"So it is you, my Lord. Please forgive me for not recognizing you."

"Then can we enter the village?" Yun Shiyi put away the token.

"No problem at all!"

While the villagers were still looking around, they saw the village chief jogging back and waving at them.

"Quickly disperse, it's the official from the county town."

When they heard that it was the official, the villagers immediately scattered, and several people on horseback passed by one after another.

When the village chief saw the three tiger carcasses on horseback, his legs went limp with fear.

"Look, is there a tiger on the horse's back?"

"Oh my God! Could it be that the official has gone into the mountains?"

"That's good! We are no longer afraid to go into the mountains to chop wood. The officials in the city are really our great benefactors!"

The village chief followed behind with a gong in his hand and rolled his eyes at the villagers, "Go away, what are you yelling about? You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of me."

The team came to the well in the village.

Yun Shiyi got off his horse and said to the village chief, "We killed three tigers in the ruined temple in the mountains. Due to official duties, we cannot leave with the tigers, so we came to ask the villagers if they need to buy tiger meat."

He was not good at speaking, and his words were not only elegant but also very stiff.

The village chief broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. It turned out that the official came to ask them if they wanted to buy tiger meat. If they didn’t, would the official beat them?

"I wonder how you are going to sell this tiger meat, sir?" the village chief asked tentatively.

In his entire life, he had never eaten tiger meat.

The village chief's words stumped Yun Shiyi. He had never sold meat before and didn't know how much it would sell for.

He turned his gaze to Lin Yinan.
