Chapter 614: The Price of Saving People
The old man's voice was very small, but the woods were quiet, and Murong Wan'er could hear it clearly.
Murong Wan'er felt a little disappointed.
She knew that with her own abilities, she would probably not be able to escape from this dense forest.
Not only were there pursuers, but the forest was full of these ferocious beasts. If I met a big tiger again, I would not have such good luck.
However, the old man seemed not to want to be troubled, which made Murong Wan'er feel very sad.
"Grandpa, if there is another tiger, she will be in trouble." The young man reached out and pulled the old man's arm, as if begging.
The old man hesitated—
"Grandpa, please, didn't you say: saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. We can't stop saving you when we die!" said the young man.
"Oh--" the old man sighed, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster, it's a disaster, okay, Xiaoshu, let's listen to you, let's take her down the mountain."
"Haha, it's great!" The boy named Xiaoshu jumped happily.
"Let's go, sister, follow us." The young man squeezed and said with a wink at Murong Wan'er.
"Hehe, how do you know that I am a sister, not an old lady?" Murong Wan'er was amused by the boy's playful expression and asked with a smile.
"I'll know it when I hear it, and I can see that you are still a very beautiful sister!" said the young man.
"Little Tree! Hush--"
The old man warned the young man and pointed at the distance.
There was a sound in the distance! There was a horse's neighing, and there were people who wanted to shout!
The old man whispered to Murong Wan'er: "Girl, these people are not looking for you, are they?"
Seeing that he could not hide it, Murong Wan'er nodded: "To be honest, I escaped from Eagle Claw Peak. You can hand me over to receive a reward."
"Sister, who do you think we are?" the young man whispered. He seemed a little unhappy when he heard Murong Wan'er say this.
"Yes, although we are from a humble background, we will not do such things!" the old man also said.
Murong Wan'er was deeply moved after hearing the words of the grandparents and grandchildren.
"Okay, since you don't want to take me to receive the reward, you should leave here as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble." Murong Wan'er said.
"Sister, this is not what our Du family did!" the boy said with a serious expression.
The old man stretched out his hand, stroked the boy's head, and showed a comforting smile.
"Look, my grandfather meant that too!" The young man smiled at the old man.
"Girl-" the old man pointed to a bush next to him and said, "You can hide first. If someone comes, we will find a way to help them."
Murong Wan'er nodded, said, "You must be careful", and then got into the bushes.
Murong Wan'er had just hid her, and a group of people rushed over.
"Hey, old man! Have you seen a person dressed by a musician?"
The person in charge was not Huo Biao, but a guy with a sharp-mouthed cheek. He waved the long sword in his hand and pointed at the old man and asked.
"Sir, we didn't see it." The old man replied calmly.
"I can tell you, this person escaped from Eagle Claw Peak. If anyone knows that, he will not report it, he will only be able to go against our Eagle Claw Peak. You should know the consequences of the person with a sharp-mouthed monkey face." The man with a sharp-mouthed monkey face said, looking around.
"oops!"
Suddenly, the boy sat on the ground.
His voice frightened the people present.
"You little bastard, why are you calling me nonsense? I was shocked!" the monkey-faced man cursed.
"Sir, my legs are cramped. I'm exhausted when climbing so far." Xiaoshu pretended to be pitiful.
"Boss, look, there is a big tiger here!" A subordinate reminded the monkey-faced man.
When he heard about a big tiger, the monkey-faced man sitting on the horse was frightened and almost fell off his horse.
"Sir, don't be afraid, this tiger seems to be dead." The subordinate hurriedly explained.
"Oh——" the monkey-faced man gasped and said, "I didn't say it earlier, I was shocked!"
"You killed this tiger?" The monkey-faced man asked the old man.
"Sir, we beat this tiger to death." The old man replied.
"I really can't tell that you, old, young, can even kill such a big tiger!" The monkey-faced man was a little disbelief.
"grown ups--"
His subordinate whispered to the monkey-faced man: "This tiger is quite big. If he takes it back to the villa, Lord Lu will definitely be happy."
"Good idea!" The monkey-faced man nodded and said, "Old man, the mountains and forests are all from our Eagle Claw Peak this day, so this tiger is also from our Eagle Claw Peak. In this way, we will pull the tiger away."
"Ah? Sir, this is not possible. We are hunters, so we are counting on this life! Our grandparents and grandchildren have been following us for more than ten days before they hit this tiger. You can't take it away!" The old man begged, his beard trembling with anxiety.
"Snatch it away?" The monkey-faced man's face changed and he said, "This tiger is from our Eagle Claw Peak. You killed our tiger. I haven't settled the score with you yet. You haven't let us take it away?"
"This - how could this tiger be yours? This is already there in the mountains and forests." The old man argued.
The boy sitting on the ground couldn't stand it anymore, and he said angrily: "That's it! Our ancestors have been hunting in this area for generations, and have never heard of such a truth!"
The monkey-faced boy was a little confused. He was a little anxious and said with a glaring eyes: "I said yes, that's it! Old man, boy! Don't argue with me anymore, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"I want to see what you can do to us. We have not broken the law. Can you still eat me?" The boy was so angry.
"I've really taken the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard! I dare to talk to me like this." The monkey-faced boy's face changed, and he whispered his sword on the boy's neck.
"Sir! Don't hurt my child!" The old man hurriedly knelt down and crawled forward a few steps.
"Grandpa, don't kneel down! Didn't you say that? The people in our Du family are not afraid of death." The boy seemed extremely generous.
The old man pulled Xiaoshu's shoulder and patted him hard: "Xiaoshu, stop talking! Let them take this tiger away. We can kill tigers again in the future. We still have body and life, so there will still be hope."
The old man said, blinking at the little tree, meaning not to fight for it anymore. Although tigers are important, the person in the bushes is even more important.
The old man's meaning is very obvious: if Murong Wan'er, who was hiding in the bushes, was discovered by these people, it would be obvious that she would be in opposition to Eagle Claw Peak, which would have lost her life.
Xiaoshu understood what his grandfather meant. Although he felt sorry for their spoils, their grandparents and grandchildren followed them in the dense forest for more than ten days, and then they caught the tiger. They risked their lives and killed the tiger. They thought they could sell money to subsidize their family income when they went back, but they encountered this group of robbers!
"Carry the tiger and retreat!"
The monkey-faced man was frightened and ordered.
At this time, Murong Wan'er in the bushes fell down suddenly due to lack of physical condition.
The sound was not loud, but it aroused the alertness of the monkey-faced man.
