Chapter 40 Back in the Mountains to Hunt Tigers
"No, Da Bao, our good days are yet to come. As long as we work hard to accumulate good fortune, our future will only get better and better."

Upon hearing this, Da Bao's eyes filled with tears.

Da Bao went to the sink and washed the pots and bowls until they were spotless. He was so sensible that it broke my heart.

Seeing how sensible Da Bao was, Su Xiaoxiao had an idea: why not save up some money and move the whole family to town?

Firstly, it would make it easier for her eldest child to go to school, and secondly, she wanted to move closer to her aunt so that she could take care of her aunt when she was sick.

Su Xiaoxiao had this plan. Besides, she was also taking Sanlang with her, which always attracted gossip from the villagers. Su Xiaoxiao felt that this was not a long-term solution.

Just when everything was harmonious at home, Grandma Liu, that jinx, reappeared.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that Granny Liu really didn't care about her reputation. She came to visit without any other reason and directly asked Su Xiaoxiao for wolf meat.

She heard that Su Xiaoxiao killed a wolf king and distributed meat to the village head and Granny Wang's family, but not to theirs.

"Su Xiaoxiao, hand over the wolf meat. Everyone else in the village has some, why don't we?"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed in exasperation.

"Because I don't want to give it to your family! Why do you think that is?"

"I'm your mother-in-law!"

"Sorry, I'm your ex-mother-in-law now. You always wanted to sell me to a brothel, you're no longer my mother-in-law, are you? How dare you come here asking for things?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu was so angry that she spat on the ground.

"Pooh!"

"You wretched woman, give them all to your lover to eat!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't even glance at her or turn her head. She casually threw a broom, which hit Granny Liu squarely on the forehead. It was that accurate.

Grandma Liu rubbed her forehead, which was swollen from Su Xiaoxiao's slap, and said, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't. Why did you hit me, you stinking woman?"

She was about to say something more when she saw Su Xiaoxiao about to chase after her, which scared Grandma Liu so much that she immediately scurried away.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to stay away from people like that even more, so she needed to make that decision as soon as possible.

However, moving to the town would definitely require a lot of money, so Su Xiaoxiao decided to hurry up and go hunting in the mountains tomorrow to pick more wild chrysanthemums to sell.

Having made up her mind, Su Xiaoxiao had a goal to strive for, and her confidence grew even stronger.

This time, Su Xiaoxiao didn't bring Sanlang and the two children with her when she went up the mountain.

She was planning to hunt down another big tiger, just like last time.

Su Xiaoxiao did the math and realized that the tiger's money was more than the money from selling the wild chrysanthemums, which was too slow.

Su Xiaoxiao packed her bow and arrows and set off.

Su Xiaoxiao's goal for this trip into the mountains was very clear.

Finding tiger tracks is not as simple as encountering wild pheasants and rabbits in the mountains.

These large felines are also very secretive in their movements. In fact, such beasts are generally not very hungry and will not come out to attack humans casually.

Su Xiaoxiao continued walking into the mountains, heading to the spot where she had encountered the tiger before.

After waiting all afternoon, it was getting dark, but I hadn't caught anything.

Su Xiaoxiao decided to venture deeper into the mountains; she wouldn't go home until she caught the tiger that day. As the moon rose, Su Xiaoxiao walked in the moonlight. Although it was nighttime in the mountains, the roars of wild beasts filled the air, sounding quite eerie.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid; she had only one goal in mind: to hunt tigers.

With a bow and arrows slung over her shoulder, Su Xiaoxiao moved through the woods, and slowly she began to smell an unusual scent.

Although Su Xiaoxiao was a novice hunter, she had a lot of experience in wilderness survival from her previous life as an assassin and special agent.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a strange wind suddenly rise from the woods in front of her, blowing up leaves and debris from the ground, and a bloody smell wafted through the air.

Su Xiaoxiao realized something was wrong; she felt herself getting closer and closer to that thing.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a surge of nervousness, but also quite excited.

"Ouch..."

A tiger's roar came, making Su Xiaoxiao's ears go numb.

A loud commotion came from the distant woods; the bushes fell to both sides with a loud crashing sound.

The tigers were coming on strong, and Su Xiaoxiao felt that there was more than one tiger.

Sure enough, something seemed off about the wind.

She quickly found a tall tree, jumped up, shaded her eyes with her hand, and looked towards the source of the sound. To her surprise, there were two tigers opposite her.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that these two tigers were even bigger than the ones she had hunted last time, and they looked very majestic. Could they be the Tiger King?
Two large tigers walked majestically toward her, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't see two tigers; instead, she saw two mountains of gold and silver.

She calmed herself down, knowing that this was no small challenge.

Judging from their size, the two tigers opposite are middle-aged tigers, and they have no wounds on their bodies, so they must be very strong.

Su Xiaoxiao drew her bow and arrow from the tree and shot it at the neck of a tiger.

The tiger darted through the forest unsuspecting, completely unaware of Su Xiaoxiao's sudden attack.

The bullet pierced its throat, causing the tiger to slump to one side and die instantly.

When the tiger beside it saw that its companion had been shot dead, it panicked and roared at the sky a few times before preparing to find the spot where Su Xiaoxiao had shot the arrow and avenge its companion.

It started running around frantically, and finally it spotted Su Xiaoxiao in a tree not far away.

The tiger pounced on Su Xiaoxiao, who quickly climbed higher up the tree.

This tiger can't climb trees. When it apprenticed under a cat master, the cat master didn't teach it how to climb trees.

As a result, tigers can no longer climb trees, but they are strong enough to ram the tree from below.

Su Xiaoxiao clung tightly to the tree, regretting that it was too young. Why hadn't she chosen a sturdier tree to climb?

At this rate, I'll be knocked off the ground by this tiger in no time.

The tree began to sway wildly as the tiger below rammed into it, and Su Xiaoxiao, who was on top, was extremely anxious.

She started to panic because she didn't have a free hand to draw her bow and shoot the tiger.

Su Xiaoxiao gripped the tree trunk with both hands, terrified that the tiger below would knock her off the tree at any moment and bite her, killing her instantly.

Su Xiaoxiao was in a panic, regretting that she didn't know how to use hidden weapons. If she knew how to throw darts, she could subdue this tiger with a single burst of darts.
Su Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she started sweating. Just when she thought she was going to die today, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of her, and the tiger under the tree immediately fell to the ground and stopped moving.
