Chapter 378: Chapter 378: The Tiger-fighting Hero
Xuexue still wanted to argue with him, but Big Bull gently tugged at her, saying, “Wife, let it be. Don’t argue with him anymore. It’s getting late, and we still have to go to the County Yan.”
“Hmph!”
Xuexue thought it over and realized that Mo Family Village was indeed very far from here. They needed to hurry back to the village tonight. With a huff, she pulled out more than five taels of silver from her bosom and threw them forcefully onto the table, stood up, and turned to leave. If it weren’t for today’s business, she would have torn down this tavern that dared to swindle her.
Watching them leave, a group of people carrying the tiger hurriedly departed from the tavern.
Only then did the Shopkeeper erge from a hidden spot, taking the silver from the hands of his assistant, weighed it in his hand, and smiled smugly, thinking he had successfully fleeced another fat sheep.
County Yan
Two Governnt Officials, with swords attached to their waists, stood imposingly at the entrance.
Suddenly, a noisy crowd approached, heading straight for the Yan, startling them. They quickly drew their swords and shouted, “Halt! This is a restricted area of the Yan. No loitering allowed.”
The village head, walking in front, hurriedly stepped forward with an awkward smile, “Hehe! Brother Governnt Official, I am the village head of Mo Family Village, and I often co here for errands. Have you forgotten ?”
After a mont of recognition, the two Yan Runners sheathed their swords and said, “Oh, it’s you! What’s the matter, bringing so many people to the Yan?”
The village head explained with a smile, “These people weren’t brought by ; they followed on their own.”
“Oh?” The two Yan Runners looked at him with puzzled expressions.
The village head looked back to find Big Bull to explain everything, but when he turned his head, he saw that Big Bull had disappeared from sight, so he called out loudly, “Big Bull, Big Bull.”
“Eh!”
In the crowd, Big Bull answered. It turned out he was surrounded by curious onlookers, admiring the tiger on his shoulders.
The village head shouted, “Hurry over here. The Yan Runners want to talk to you.”
The two Yan Runners looked at each other, thinking they didn’t even know who Big Bull was, let alone who was looking for him.
One Yan Runner asked in confusion, “Village Head Mo, what exactly has happened?”
“Hehe! Soone in our village killed a tiger and has co to the Yan to claim the reward.” With these words, the village head quickly turned and explained to the Yan Runner.
Upon hearing this, the two Yan Runners glanced at each other, then turned to search the crowd, asking, “Where is it?”
The village head pointed into the dense crowd, “Over there, they are all surrounding him.”
Big Bull, carrying the tiger on his shoulder, finally struggled free from the crowd and stepped forward, “I’m coming, I’m coming.”
Xuexue followed behind, amazed that the people in County Town were even more eager for a spectacle than those in their own village.
Big Bull approached the Yan, out of breath, “I’m here, I’m here.”
The village head quickly turned to the Yan Runners with a beaming smile, “Hehe! You see, he’s the one who killed the tiger.”
Once the Yan Runners saw the tiger being brought for the reward, they dared not make a decision and said, “Wait here for a mont. I’ll go and report to the county magistrate.”
Having said that, one of the Yan Runners rushed inside to report to the Great Master.
Shortly after, he ca out in a hurry, gesturing for them to enter, “Village Head Mo, the county magistrate invites you and the tiger-fighting hero to co in.”
The village head nodded and bowed, pointing at Xuexue with a smile, “Brother Yan Runner, this lady ca with us; could she co in too?”
