Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Shuangxing County
The next day
Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, Big Bull and Xuexue got up, got dressed, washed up in the kitchen, and then set out carrying the tiger.
As they were about to reach the entrance of the village, the village head was already waiting there with an ox cart parked beside him. As soon as he saw Big Bull and Xuexue, he waved from afar and greeted, “Hey! Big Bull, Xuexue.”
“Hey! Uncle Village Chief, you’re up early,” Xuexue approached him with a smile and said.
“Indeed, I had your rabbit last night, so I, as the village head, have to get so real work done, don’t I?” the village head jokingly said.
“Ha ha! Uncle Village Chief, you’re really funny,” Xuexue said while peeking at the carriage driver, who turned out to be Coachman Yu.
Seeing her looking at the carriage driver, the village head laughed and said, “After I left your ho yesterday, I specifically went to Coachman Yu’s house to arrange for him to take us to the County Town because the carriages to the County Town are rare, and it’s better to arrange one ourselves.”
“Oh! Uncle Village Chief, you’ve thought of everything,” Xuexue remarked.
“Not at all, not at all, it’s just experience talking,” the village head humbly said.
True, the village head often went to the County Yan to assist villagers with their affairs. Having gone there nurous tis, he was naturally familiar with the process.
Soon, Big Bull tossed the tiger onto the cart, and everyone climbed aboard. The ox cart then began to move slowly.
The ox cart traveled for nearly two Shichen before reaching the entrance to the County Town.
At the entrance, there was a large plaque dynamically inscribed with the three big characters of Shuangxing County. Due to regulations, ox carts were not allowed inside the town, so they had to get off and walk in.
With a tiger hoisted on his shoulders, Big Bull walking through the streets attracted many eyes. Passersby who were walking on the streets stopped in their tracks and turned to look at them, so even calling out loudly…
“Wow! Incredible! Soone has captured a tiger.”
“Yes! A tiger-fighting hero! Everyone, co over here and have a look.”
Within a Quarter of an Hour, they hadn’t yet reached the County Yan, but a long line of people had already ford behind them.
Xuexue, frustrated by the attention, thought to herself, Are these people not busy with anything else? Why do they keep following us?
Perhaps noticing Xuexue’s impatience, the village head laughed and said, “In our county, a tiger-fighting hero appears only once every few years, and everyone gets excited. It’s fine, let them follow. Who knows, maybe when we get to the County Yan, the county magistrate, swept up in the excitent, might happily give us an extra reward.”
Xuexue didn’t respond, thinking to herself that she didn’t believe the county magistrate was that generous. Otherwise, why would other hunters not dare to go to the Yan to claim rewards? Their visit this ti, she pondered whether it would bring fortune or disaster. Suddenly, her stomach started to rumble loudly.
With his deeper martial power, Big Bull naturally had good hearing. Hearing Xuexue’s stomach rumbling, he imdiately turned and asked loudly, “Wife, are you hungry?”
They had left very early in the morning and hadn’t eaten breakfast. Having been on the ox cart for over two Shichen, they indeed were hungry.
“Mm!”
Xuexue rubbed her stomach and nodded her head.
Stopping in his tracks and thinking for a mont, Big Bull then said to the village head, “How about we stop at the tavern up ahead to fill up before heading to the County Yan?”
The village head, also feeling his stomach growl, looked at the tavern ahead following Big Bull’s gesture and nodded in agreent, “Hey! Good idea!”
Xuexue turned to look at the excited crowd behind them and said, “Big Bull, with so many people watching us eat, are you sure you can really eat?”
