"We'll talk about the cow compensation later. Where is my aunt now?" Chang Kun was a little anxious when he heard the burly man say that his aunt was not there.

The cows are fine, but the people can't get hurt.

"Who knows where she went? She'll definitely be searching every mountain for the cow!"

"Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, they still dare to run around recklessly; they're really courting death!"

"If we hadn't managed to gather a few guns, we wouldn't have dared to go up the mountain to look for the cattle."

"The autumn harvest is almost here, and without this big yellow ox, who knows how much work will be delayed in the village!"

"Exactly! Just because Liu Meilin knows how to raise cattle doesn't mean his wife does. Why should she be entrusted with the job of raising cattle!"

"What else is there to say! If they can't find the cow, they should compensate the family. Liu Meifen has a job in the city; she can sell that job, and even if it's not enough to cover the compensation, it'll be close!"

The villagers already had a lot of complaints about the aunt being assigned the task of raising cattle, and now that the cattle were lost, their anger only intensified. They even made plans to sell the cattle to compensate them for the loss.

After listening for a while, Chang Kun realized they really didn't know where his aunt had gone. Suppressing his anxiety, he asked, "What about her daughter, Xiao Shui?"

"The child is definitely in the village. Everyone knows there are tigers in the mountains. Who would dare let a child into the mountains?" the burly man replied irritably.

Knowing that Xiao Shui was in the village, Chang Kun felt a little relieved. His aunt must be afraid of losing the cow and had gone looking for her everywhere, but there were tigers in the mountains now, which was too dangerous. He had to find her as soon as possible.

"Hey! Where are you going?" The burly man shouted after Chang Kun as he turned to go down the mountain.

"Go find people, go find cattle, do you think you can find them by just staying here?"

"Looking for people and cattle? What a joke! You don't even know which way the hills in our village face! Don't go, or your Liu family will have to pay you money if we can't find the cattle!" The burly man tried to grab Chang Kun's arm to prevent him from leaving.

"Holy crap! What the hell!" He suddenly felt a burning sensation in his nose and eyes and couldn't help but sneeze a few times.

Chang Kun merely sprayed out a tiny bit of capsaicin as a slight punishment; he didn't have time to get entangled with these people now.

Hurriedly going up and down the mountain, just as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw Xiao Shui squatting under a big tree at the village entrance, wiping away tears, looking longingly in the direction of the mountains.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Seeing Chang Kun approaching from afar, Xiao Shui immediately threw herself into his arms: "Mom... my mom hasn't come back yet."

Seeing Xiaoshui's frightened look, Chang Kun felt a pang of sympathy and wiped away her tears: "What are you doing here?"

"I heard from the villagers that my mother encountered a tiger on the mountain. I wanted to go up the mountain to find her, but Aunt Zhang stopped me and told me to wait here."

Chang Kun patted her little head. This girl is quite filial; she knows her mother is in danger and still wants to go find her.

"Your Aunt Zhang did the right thing. It's dangerous for children to go up the mountain. Leave them with your older brother; he will help you find your mother."

"Hmm! Big brother, hurry up, I miss Mom!" Xiao Shui said, pouting as if she was about to cry.

"Alright, then I'll go up the mountain now. Just bear with it." Chang Kun gently made a small cut on her finger with his dagger and squeezed out a few drops of blood.

He had already thought it through while he was on the mountain. The mountains were vast, and it would be no easy task for him to find his aunt by himself.

Instead of trying his luck in the mountains, it's better to go back to the village and find Xiao Shui, and use the bloodline connection to find his aunt.

After collecting a few drops of blood from Xiaoshui, Chang Kun immediately went back into the mountains.

He sensed his aunt's location through his senses. She was really fast; she had already gone seven or eight miles into the deep mountains. Fortunately, she was safe and sound.



He headed straight towards his aunt's direction, and when he was still more than two miles away from her, Chang Kun was just about to take a breather.

Suddenly, a gaunt tiger appeared in his senses, coming towards him from the northeast.

Tsk tsk, I was just wondering where to find a tiger, but it delivered itself right to my doorstep.

Since the tiger is here, there should be no danger at my aunt's place. I'll just rest here for a while and wait for the tiger to come to its aid.

The tiger was running a bit slowly. Chang Kun waited for a few minutes and got a little impatient. He hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he took out a lamb kidney from his spatial storage and took a few delicious bites.

It took more than ten minutes for the tiger to finally come into view.

It's said that felines like to attack from behind, as it's the easiest way, and it's true.

The tiger in front of them was lying cautiously in the grass a hundred meters away, moving forward little by little, as if it were lying in ambush.

Chang Kun couldn't help but laugh. He remembered that in zoos in later years, some people would deliberately sit with their backs to the tigers, and the tigers would do the same thing, cautiously approaching the person from behind, then suddenly pounce, only to land on the transparent glass.

Tigers may have the intention to harm people, and people may also have the intention to harm tigers.

As expected, Chang Kunqi won the game. After the gunshot, the bullet entered the tiger's eye and flew out from the back of its head, and the tiger fell down.

"The tiger skin wasn't damaged either. The 'One-Hit Kill' skill is really impressive." Chang Kun walked up to the tiger with a smile.

Unlike the orange and white fur of South China tigers and Siberian tigers, this tiger has dark black stripes on its light black fur, giving it a mysterious look.

No wonder there were rumors a few years ago that a blue-black tiger had appeared near Miyun and Changping. From a distance, the tiger really was blue-black.

This tiger might have been kept in the royal gardens before, but it escaped during the chaos of war.

The tiger lying in the pool of blood was only in the shape of a tiger, but its body was really small, only the size of a leopard. In addition, it may have not caught any prey for a long time, so the whole tiger probably weighed no more than 200 pounds.

However, this is a tiger after all. Even a single tiger bone would be extremely valuable in later generations, let alone a whole tiger.

Tiger skin, tiger bone, tiger penis—these are treasures that money can't buy in China in later generations. I've heard that there are ways to get them in some Southeast Asian countries, but I don't know if that's true.

"Huh, what's this?"

Chang Kun suddenly noticed a few tufts of yellow hair on the tiger's paws, which were quite noticeable between its bluish-black claws.

By carefully examining the yellow hair, Chang Kun made a guess: Could this be the hair of a big yellow ox?

When the tiger's mouth was pried open, there was no blood inside, and its belly was dry and shriveled, indicating that the ox had not been bitten by the tiger.

It makes sense, considering this tiger is only the size of a leopard; it would be quite difficult for it to hunt a large yellow ox.

Moreover, if a tiger has eaten a cow, it certainly won't be so hungry that it would want to attack people again.

So, in that case, the ox was likely in the direction the tiger had just run from.

But finding my aunt is the most important thing right now; we can deal with the ox later.

After stroking the tiger's soft fur a few times, Chang Kun happily put the black and blue tiger into his spatial storage.

This 200-pound tiger needs to be handled carefully. If you want to soak the tiger bones and penis in alcohol, you need to use the correct recipe and various medicinal materials to achieve the effect of nourishing the body without harming it.
