Chen Rou and Chen Man were drying the dug wild vegetables together. When she heard Wang's words, she suddenly asked at a loss.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Wang walked in angrily and sat down on the stone pier before saying to Chen Rou.
"Don't think I don't know, everyone in our village has seen it!"
"Your family went to the county seat this morning. I don't know where they got rich. They brought a lot of food with them!"
"I heard that I even carried several feet of new cloth!"
After Wang told what she heard from the villagers, she continued.
"No wonder he left you here. Most likely he wanted to marry someone younger while you were away! Or else he wanted to divorce you!"
"The men in your family are going to divorce you, but you are still here. Aren't you just waiting for others to laugh at you?"
Wang's words immediately made Chen Rou become a little anxious, and even the wild vegetables in her hands fell to the ground.
She was also worried that Zhao Feng would divorce her. After all, she had been married for so long and her family's conditions were getting worse and worse, which would inevitably make Zhao Feng think too much.
If she is really divorced, let alone getting married, I'm afraid she will be looked down upon by others when she returns to her parents' home!
Thinking of this, Chen Rou quickly dropped the wild vegetables and said in a hurry.
"No, I have to go back and take a look!"
Mrs. Wang immediately snorted coldly: "You have to go back and take a look quickly, lest you don't even know that your man is missing!"
Chen Rou quickly packed up her things.
When Chen Shan saw this scene, he quickly dissuaded him: "Don't worry, it's not too late to leave after lunch."
How could Chen Rou care about this? So I hurried back to the village without even eating.
She was thirsty and hungry along the way, and the mountain road was too rough for a woman like her. It was already afternoon when she got home.
When he entered the house, he found that Zhao Feng was not there. There was only a roll of brand new fabric in the house.
Seeing this roll of fabric, Chen Rou's eyes suddenly darkened. It seemed that Zhao Feng really wanted to divorce her, or he wanted to marry another one!
She has been married for half a year, but when she walked in, there was nothing, let alone fabrics!
Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng wanted to marry again now that he had some money.
After all, under Chen Rou's preconceived notion, those fabrics have become Zhao Feng's betrothal gift to others!
So Chen Rou didn't care about eating, and hurriedly walked towards the mountain at the entrance of the village, hoping to find Zhao Feng and ask him clearly.
But as soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they saw several hunters in the village emerging from the mountains in a hurry. Chen Rou quickly walked up to ask what was going on.
"Oh, it scares me to death!"
People in the village quickly gathered around.
The hunter said in a panic: "When I went into the mountains to hunt today, I saw a big insect!"
"That body must be so long! That tail must be so thick!"
"I was so frightened that I quickly threw the rabbit I had shot and saved my life!"
"Let's report it to the officials quickly and let the officials come out to catch us!"
After hearing what this hunter said, everyone in the village became very nervous.
There are often rumors in the village that giant insects can eat people. Either the cousin of the husband of the second sister of the third aunt's family in the next village was bitten to death by a giant insect, or someone went into the mountains alive but no one was dead or dead. In the end, it was attributed to giant insects eating people. on things.
Now when they heard that the big insect appeared, these villagers were immediately frightened.
The county government has long offered rewards for killing tigers, but who dares to go?
If tigers were so easy to deal with, there wouldn't be any tiger-fighting heroes!
Upon hearing their words, Chen Rou suddenly felt her eyes darken and almost fainted.
"Hey, isn't this the wife of Zhao Feng's family? What happened to her?"
Hearing Zhao Feng's name, Chen Rou immediately said with strength.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, please save my husband!"
"He went into the mountains in the morning and hasn't come out yet. It would be terrible if he encounters a big insect!"
Hearing this, the hunters were immediately surprised.
"What, he actually went into the mountains?"
"Isn't this a joke? He is not a hunter. What kind of mountain is he going into?"
Chen Rou begged and asked around, but no one was willing to enter the mountain.
The hunters all shook their heads, with troubled expressions on their faces. After all, the big insects were wandering around now. Who dared to enter the mountain?
What's more, they felt that Zhao Feng might have been eaten long ago since he hadn't come out yet, but they didn't say anything to avoid irritating Chen Rou again.
Seeing that none of them were willing to enter the mountain, Chen Rou couldn't help sobbing softly, but she remembered that Zhao Feng was probably still alive. If she could tell him, she might be able to survive, so she got up directly, gritted her teeth and walked towards the outside of the village. Go.
Those hunters quickly tried to dissuade her: "Mrs. Zhao, don't go!"
"This big insect is in the mountains. If you go there, aren't you looking for death?"
Chen Rou gritted her teeth and said firmly.
"No, my husband-in-law is still in the mountains. I can't let him take risks alone!"
"If you don't go, I will go by myself. I will never let my husband-in-law die in there!"
Those people tried to dissuade them again. Just as they were pulling each other, those people suddenly stopped moving!
Chen Rou turned around and saw a three-meter-long tiger with a white forehead and a yellow and black body. It was walking out of the bushes in the mountain and staring closely at this side!
Seeing this tiger, the villagers, hunters, etc. were all frightened. Only when they saw this tiger with their own eyes did they realize that the man before had not exaggerated at all. There was still some blood on the tiger's mouth. It was obvious that it had just eaten something. soon!
But the tiger was probably not full yet. When he saw these people, the tiger suddenly let out a roar that made the mountains and forests rustle!
Chen Rou was immediately paralyzed with fear, while the others hurriedly ran for their lives, shouting as they ran.
"Run quickly, the big bug is out!"
"Keep the doors closed, the big bugs are out to eat people!"
As they ran, the tiger stood there hesitantly, but still felt the threat ahead.
Chen Rou finally stood up, but in front of the tiger, she had no ability to move at all and could only look at the tiger helplessly.
At this moment, the tiger seemed to feel that the person in front of him was no threat to him. In addition, it had been hungry for a few days, so it actually slowly walked towards Chen Rou!
At this time, everyone in the village had closed their doors and windows, and some even exposed one eye to look outside. When they saw the tiger slowly walking towards Chen Rou, everyone was sweating!
From walking to running, the tiger felt that Chen Rou was not a threat and pounced directly on Chen Rou!
Chen Rou was immediately frightened and closed her eyes, her mind filled with the thought that she would definitely die today!
But at this moment, a sound broke through the air, and the tiger suddenly let out a cry of pain and turned his head to look behind him!
In the bushes, Zhao Feng was seen holding the crossbow he had just fired, looking at the tiger with a serious face!
