Then they yelled at Tian Dafu’s group: “Fellows, we all co from the sa place, we aren’t unreasonable people.
If you want to rest, then rest.
anwhile, we will have a chat with the young man leading the tiger, ok?”
“Just say whatever you want to say!
He can hear you.” Big Zhuang glanced back at the indifferent Yan Fei, then turned his head and bellowed boastfully.
This group of people could see that there must be a village head among them, giving him the rare opportunity to be so aweso in front of the village officials.
The speaker had no choice but to continue yelling across to Yan Fei through these young n: “Young man, let’s cut to the chase.
This tiger really can’t stay here.
With all the animals, never mind the people in the village, they can’t handle being frightened like this, can they?
We beg you to understand our plight, please take a short rest here and then leave with your tiger as soon as possible, okay?”
Yan Fei completely ignored him and turned to look at the corner of the wall instead.
Several little heads had popped out from that corner recently, sneakily looking his way.
The weather was still cold, with snot hanging from the noses of the little heads.
As soon as he turned his head, they imdiately retreated.
Then a series of whiny complaints ca from behind the wall: “Ay, don’t push, don’t push, he’s looking over here…”
What does outrageous boldness look like?
This was it.
Yan Fei found it amusing – these snot-nosed kids were so audacious, sneaking around from another place to see the tiger!
After a while, the snot-nosed kids couldn’t help themselves and began to muster the courage to sneak peeks again.
Yan Fei had heard their sneaky movents before they ca, otherwise, the tiger wouldn’t have been this calm.
He now deliberately pretended not to see them and let them look around as they pleased.
As a result, after a while, their courage grew, and the snot-nosed kid in the lead, with round, shiny eyes, sneakily called out, “Uncle, does your tiger eat people?”
“It doesn’t eat adults, but it does eat children!” Yan Fei said to scare them.
At his words, the kids laughed instead, and their heads stretched out even further.
“Uncle, does your tiger eat cabbage?
Or does it only eat at?”
Yan Fei was huddled in one corner, while the snot-nosed kids were in another.
The people from the village couldn’t see the snot-nosed kids, so the little ones craned their necks, asking one amusing question after another.
Yan Fei would rather chitchat fruitlessly with these snot-nosed kids than engage in idle chatter with the villagers – at this point, they still pretended not to know who he was, calling him “young man” and pretending to be aggrieved on behalf of their village.
How interesting was that?
If they were going to play dumb, he would play deaf.
Let’s see who could outact the other!
Just then, a little snot-nosed kid said, “Uncle, does the tiger usually drink sweet potato congee with shredded radish or salted vegetables?”
An older snot-nosed kid interjected, “Tigers don’t drink sweet potato congee!”
Yan Fei replied laughingly, “Yes, they don’t like thin gruel, they only eat buns with fernted bean paste, and it has to be the kind with chili powder…”
This answer imdiately received the endorsent of a snot-nosed kid, who gleefully said, “Yeah, I don’t like thin gruel either, and I love spicy food.
But my mom doesn’t let eat too much of it because she says it can cause internal heat.
Uncle, would the tiger get internal heat too?”
Looking at this little fellow, Yan Fei couldn’t help but want to laugh.
There were inflad sores on both sides of his mouth, yet he was still thinking about eating spicy food?
The people from the village had been talking for a while, only Big Zhuang and a few other young n were bantering with them.
Seeing that Yan Fei kept not looking back at them, they finally started to panic: “Young man, na your conditions.
Whatever you want, we will try our best to grant, just please take the tiger away soon…”
But Yan Fei still pretended not to hear.
You don’t know my conditions?
Are you still pretending to be ignorant?
He turned the tiger’s head to show the snot-nosed kids the tiger’s mouth, “Look, tigers don’t get internal heat.
Look at the sores on your mouth, no wonder your mom doesn’t let you eat chili.
You don’t like to drink water, do you?
This tiger loves to drink water, it can drink a whole tub at once!”
“Ah?” The snot-nosed kids were amazed.
“No wonder they grow so big?
They can really drink…
Can black bears drink that much water too?”
“Yes, you see how fat the black bears are, they must be able to eat and drink a lot.
If you guys eat like them, you will grow up to be just like them.”
Chatting aimlessly with these snot-nosed kids, Yan Fei suddenly rembered sothing and said to them: “I have a question, the person who can answer it can co over and touch the tiger!”
“Really?” The snot-nosed kids stared, excited yet hesitant.
“The tiger won’t bite, will it?”
“It doesn’t bite, look.” Yan Fei put his hand into the seemingly helpless tiger’s mouth.
“You see?”
“It really doesn’t bite!” The snot-nosed kids got excited.
“Uncle, ask your question!”
One of the snot-nosed kids even took this opportunity to show his determination by wiping his nose with his sleeve, making the already bright sleeve even ‘brighter’.
“Who is the most authoritative person in your village?” Yan Fei asked.
Afraid that they would not understand, he explained further.
“Who is the strongest person in your village?
Who is the one that everyone has to listen to?”
A snot-nosed kid imdiately cried out without hesitation, “I know, I know!
In our village, Old Master Gu is the strongest.
Whatever he says goes!”
“That’s wrong, that’s wrong!” Another snot-nosed kid said.
“Uncle Shuanzhu is the strongest, he can lift the stone mill at the threshing ground.”
“You’re all wrong.
Auntie Hua is the most formidable.
No one dares to provoke her.
When her chicken ran away last ti, she scolded everyone in the village for a whole day and nobody dared to say a word.”
“No, Uncle Shuancheng is the more formidable one.
He is an educated man who has been to a big city, and even brought Auntie Shuancheng back from there…”
“Bullshit, he’s not an educated man.
My grandma said that Uncle Shuancheng didn’t study hard at all while in school and can hardly recognize any characters.
He ca back after a few days out and started wearing glasses to pretend to be educated, not even knowing who he is…”
“You are not allowed to speak ill of Uncle Shuancheng.
My mum told that Uncle Shuancheng has beco rich, eats at every day, and even plans to build a new house.
She also said that my dad is supposed to follow him and make big money in a few days!”
“My mom also said that my junior uncle should follow Uncle Shuancheng and get rich.
She even suggested that he bring a young aunty from the city…”
A group of snot-nosed kids initially tried to answer questions with enthusiasm, vying for the chance to touch the tiger.
But soon, it turned into a dispute.
Listening, Yan Fei caught the main point: “Do you guys know who ca up with the idea for the villagers to get beef from the township yesterday?
Was it Old Master Gu or this Uncle Shuancheng?”
This question was a bit ‘profound’ for these snot-nosed kids, who started to ponder hard.
Suddenly one of the snot-nosed kids lit up, wiped his nose energetically and shouted excitedly, “I know, I know, it was Uncle Shuancheng.
My second grandfather said that he made so money out there, and his heart turned black, he even said, he said…”
Having spoken so much without saying anything, he actually reminded another snot-nosed kid: “I know, I know, I heard Third Grandfather say that his idea was sowhat heartless…”
“You guys are not allowed to bad-mouth Uncle Shuancheng.
I heard Uncle Dazhuzi say that he did it so that we all could have so at to eat, not like you guys say…”
“Yeah, if you talk bad about Uncle Shuancheng, you won’t be allowed to eat at in the future…”
So, a group of little snot-nosed kids were imdiately divided into two factions, continuing their debate.
One faction insisted that the guy nad Shuancheng was good, saying we could all start eating beef soon; the other faction insisted he was not good.
Seeing that the bickering had started getting physical, Yan Fei hurriedly stopped them: “No fighting, everyone line up now.
Those who speak well of him, stand in one line; those who speak ill of him, stand in another.”
Another quick-witted snot-nosed kid shouted: “Uncle, can you co over this way a bit?
We sneaked out, if our families see us, we will get punished…”
Yan Fei kicked one of the tigers lightly to move it toward the wall and beckoned: “Co on!
Those who speak well of Uncle Shuancheng can only touch the black bear, those who speak ill can touch the tiger.
By the way, who dares to have a quick look, is the man in glasses among that group over there Uncle Shuancheng?
Let him have a touch.”
“It’s him, it’s him, apart from Brother Dayang, he is the only one in our village who wears glasses…”
“Right, right, right…”
This group of snot-nosed kids didn’t even look, they just sold out Uncle Shuancheng who was about to make the whole village eat at.
Yan Fei was extrely pleased with his success.
One the one hand, he mourned for Shuancheng who was ‘public-spirited’; on the other hand, he patted the head of the tiger and said, “Alright, everyone showed great attitude, I’ll let you all co and touch the tiger.
Those who want to touch the bear can do so!”
The group of snot-nosed kids, trembling with fear yet extrely excited, lined up carefully, slid along the wall, and started to co and touch the tiger.
Yan Fei also warned, “After you finish touching, go ho quickly.
If your families find out that you dared to touch a tiger, they will definitely punish you…”
Suddenly, these little ones all looked solemn.
They all looked at each other and began to make a swear: “Whoever tells is a puppy… hook on a noose, a hundred years no change.”
Watching them make a promise, Yan Fei was happier than when they touched the tiger.
Originally, he had planned to co and gather information last night, but Miss Xu Xiaoyan was present.
He couldn’t have let his wife stay alone in such a remote place, so he accompanied his wife honestly.
This morning, his wife was still worried when he led the tiger away.
In the end, he had to use his father-in-law’s na and told her this was an idea given by Old Xu, which only then reassured her.
Actually, Old Xu’s idea was far more ruthless, suggesting him to give a ‘deceiving the tiger by shaking the mountain’ type of display.
Old Xu also said, if you want to do big things, then occasionally do sothing shocking, to deter those with evil thoughts.
But Yan Fei felt that idea lacked creativity.
He had already done such a thing once.
Doing it again wouldn’t bring anything new.
Besides, he had to accompany his wife at night, so he didn’t take that approach.
Having located the main culprit, Yan Fei wasn’t in a hurry.
He waited until the group of snot-nosed kids sneakily slipped away, then squinted his eyes at the rising sun, thinking about various ways to deal with people.
Suddenly his ears moved at the sound of a car in the distance, he quickly stood up and said to Tian Dafu and his group, “Let’s go!”
Of course, leaving like this would be too kind to those people.
He left them a ssage: “I’ll be back!”
Then their expressions, which were just beginning to show so joy, turned pale again…
