"Brother Wang, this morning another villager's poultry disappeared inexplicably, and there were blood stains on the ground. ”

"Really, take me to see it. ”

Grandpa Wang stayed in the village all night and didn't move at all. It's strange that it's happening again.

Seeing that Brother Wang was leaving, the village chief was still sitting, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, what do you plan to raise the tiger you raise?"

"What do you mean?"

The village chief smiled awkwardly, "After all, it's a tiger, and when it grows up, there will be endless troubles, and many villagers have come to me to complain." ”

"I see, I'll think about it. Grandpa nodded.

Xiao Wang outside the door heard Xiaohu hugging him tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, Xiaohu, I will never let you go." ”

Xiaohu nodded obediently as if he understood.

Grandpa and the village chief came to a villager's house at the entrance of the village, and Xiao Wang quietly followed with Xiaohu.

Last night, Xiao Wang and his grandfather stayed in the center of the village, and Xiao Wang thought that maybe it was because they were a little away, so they didn't notice the movement at the entrance of the village.

The blood stained from the villagers' backyard to the vicinity of the village entrance, and some chicken feathers fell from the ground.

"Auntie, don't cry, don't cry. ”

"If I catch this thing that kills a thousand knives, I must pull his tendons to his bones. ”

For this small closed mountain village, these poultry are valuable things in the family, and now the villagers are angry that the poultry have disappeared one after another.

The villagers gathered around the couple, comforting the anguished woman, the angry man.

"The village chief is here, everyone let go. ”

The village chief took Grandpa Wang to the backyard, only to see chaos on the ground. The grass mats, which were originally neatly laid, were messed up, and the blood stains on the grass were particularly distinct. The surviving fowl next to them were all crouched in the corner, huddled together, as if they were greatly frightened.

"Brother Wang, you have seen a lot of animals hunting, what can you do here?" said the village chief.

Grandpa nodded solemnly, took a few steps forward, and bent down to observe carefully.

"In my opinion, it was the tiger raised by Uncle Wang's family who did it. This kind of strange thing has never happened in our village, and it was only when the tiger came that it happened. A villager complained behind Grandpa Wang's back.

"Don't talk weird. Grandpa stood up, turned around and glared directly at the man behind him, "If it was really my little tiger who did it, you can show me evidence! Xiaohu is with me and my grandson every day, it is impossible to do such a thing." ”

The villagers wronged Xiaohu's words, grandpa has heard a lot these days, and before that, grandpa still remembered the friendship between the villagers and was silent. But they have been like this, and grandpa can't help but go back.

Grandpa Xiao Wang is still quite prestigious in the village, and seeing that Grandpa is angry, the villagers who gathered around to complain about wow wow have quieted down.

"Alas," Grandpa sighed and continued, "I can guarantee that it wasn't my little tiger who did it, but I won't be able to find out what it is." This is not only for you, but also for my little tiger. ”

After listening to Grandpa, the villagers dispersed one after another.

The village chief stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wang, have you found anything?"

Grandpa shook his head, "There was no trace left, no fur at all." But it should be the strong beast that can kill with one blow. ”

"Ahh

Since the establishment of the ancient village, there have been rumors in the village that there are wild beasts in the forest. Therefore, although the ancient village is close to the forest, no one dares to approach it at will.

According to the village chronicles, when the villagers first came here, they made a living by hunting, but few people came out of the forest.

Gradually, most of the villagers gave up hunting, and only the Xiao Wang family remained, and only the Xiao Wang family had been able to walk out of the forest unharmed for generations.

"It's hard to say, let's arrange a few strong villagers to take turns guarding the village these days. Grandpa said with a solemn face.

"Good, good!" the village chief hurriedly left to find someone.

Seeing that the villagers were gone, Grandpa walked lightly towards a tree not far away, "Come out." ”

"Grandpa. ”

Xiao Wang lowered his head and walked out from behind the tree with Xiaohu, and it turned out that he had already been discovered by his grandfather.

"Don't take Xiaohu out these days, so that no one can see it and wronged it. ”

Xiao Wang nodded vigorously and followed his grandfather back.

Even though the village was patrolled every day for the next few days, some of the poultry quietly disappeared. This bizarre incident began to spread in the village, making everyone panic.

Three days later, the village has not caught the real culprit who killed the poultry, and Grandpa Wang is also very anxious, and he stays up for a few days and nights with the villagers who patrol every day, and his body is unbearable.

"Grandpa, drink the medicine. Xiao Wang put the bowl on the side of the bed, carefully picked up his grandfather who was lying on the bed, and delivered the medicine.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Because he stayed up for a few days at night and was infected with the wind and cold, Xiao Wang's grandfather fell ill and lay on the bed coughing constantly.

"Woo woo woo ......" Xiaohu looked at his grandfather on the bed, kept walking around on the ground, and let out a low cry in his mouth, looking very anxious.

"Xiaohu," Grandpa stopped Xiaohu, trying to squeeze out a smile on his pale face, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Xiaohu listened and obediently lay at Xiao Wang's feet.

"Sunsun, was there any movement in the village last night?" asked Grandpa.

Xiao Wang shook his head, "Grandpa, I haven't gone out today, I don't know if I've caught the real murderer, I'll go out to investigate later," Xiao Wang carefully helped his grandfather and let him lie down, "Grandpa, you have a good rest, don't worry." ”

As soon as Xiao Wang finished speaking, a noisy sound came from outside the house, and immediately a rapid knock on the door sounded.

"Bang bang bang! open the door!"

Xiaohu ran to the back of the door, half-bent over, staring at the door with fierce eyes.

"Xiaohu, go to grandpa. When Xiao Wang saw Xiaohu enter the back room, he opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a group of angry villagers were in front of them.

"You ......"

Before Xiao Wang could ask, the villagers shouted at the house: "Hand over the tiger, take revenge, take revenge!"

"What the hell is going on?!" Xiao Wang roared, his voice drowned out the cacophony of shouts, and stunned the villagers.

"See for yourself what's out there!" a villager standing in front of Xiao Wang stretched out his hand and pointed back, and the villagers crowded at the door separated into a path.

Xiao Wang saw that there was a distinct bloodstain not far from the front of his house.

"This ......" Xiao Wang ran out of the door with a shocked face, only to see that the bloodstain spread from a distance to a big tree in front of his house and disappeared.

While Xiao Wang was still stunned as he stared at the bloodstains, several strong villagers dressed in iron clothes, with sticks and iron hooks in their hands, entered the door and went straight to the inner room.

Grandpa heard the voice and got up from the bed weakly, and Xiaohu stood in front of his grandfather's bed with a low roar, staring viciously at the heavily armed villagers.

"What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" the villagers snorted coldly, "Uncle Wang, this beast killed the grandson of the Liu family, do you still want to protect it?"

"What the hell is going on with the Liu family?"

"Hmph, since you want to know, when we catch this brute, we will take you with you to apologize to Uncle Liu. ”

After the villagers finished speaking, they beckoned and pounced on Xiaohu.

Xiaohu angrily bit at the villagers, but they were wearing hard iron sheets, and after a few times, Xiaohu's teeth were knocked out and his mouth was full of blood.

The solid stick hit Xiaohu, and the chains and iron hooks were all hit on Xiaohu.

"Don't fight, don't fight, stop it!" Grandpa cried out in distress as he lay on the bed, but he was caught by the villagers and couldn't move.

Although Xiaohu is tall, he is always only a tiger cub in March and April, where can he beat so many people. In the end, Xiaohu lost his guard, was tied by the chain around his neck, and fell to the ground.

The villagers tied up the tiger and carried him out the door. Xiao Wang and his grandfather were also arrested by the villagers.

"Bang!"

When they arrived at the door of the villager Liu's house, they threw the little tiger to the ground and shouted, "Uncle Liu, the village chief! ”

The village chief walked out of the door, followed by the grandfather of the Liu family and his son and daughter-in-law, all three of whom were red from crying, each holding a stick in their hands.

As soon as the Liu family saw the little tiger covered in blood on the ground, they raised their hands and were about to knock the stick down.

"Stop!" Xiao Wang and Grandpa roared angrily, "It's impossible for my little tiger to kill anyone!"

"Who else could it be? ”

"Your grandfather and grandson are not good people, don't explain it for you brutes. ”

"yes, yes, shoot it, kill it!"

The villagers shouted angrily.

The village chief took a few steps forward and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Villagers, wait for me to make this clear. ”

The village chief walked up to Xiao Wang and his grandfather and began to say: "Early this morning, the daughter-in-law of the Liu family got up to make breakfast, and his man got up to wash, leaving only the child still sleeping. Then a child's cry came, and before the child's mother could react, she saw a white thing running out of the kitchen window with the child in her mouth. ”

"It was running so fast that by the time they got out, it was long gone. Brother Liu called the villagers to help find it, and finally found blood stains near your house, isn't that enough to prove that your little tiger did it?"

"That is, the poultry that was eaten a few days ago must have been done by their livestock. ”

"Yes, Lao Wang, you return my chicken!"

"No!" Xiao Wang roared angrily, "Xiaohu has been following me all the time, and he didn't go out at all today." ”

Xiao Wang and his grandfather tried their best to argue, but they were so angry that the villagers decided that Xiaohu was the real murderer, and where would they listen to Xiao Wang's grandson's explanation.

"Brother, isn't he just a brute, hand him over to us to kill, so that the people will be angry. Even if this thing really wasn't done by Xiaohu, it is a beast after all, and it is always a disaster, maybe one day the beast will kill someone. The village chief stood beside Grandpa Wang and persuaded.

"Little Tiger has spirituality, it is very well-behaved. Xiao Wang yelled at the village chief.

Seeing that the two of them didn't enter, the village chief immediately changed his face, and said with a cold snort: "Hmph, you'd better stop it, otherwise it will hurt the harmony between the villagers, and then there will be no place for your two grandfathers in this ancient village." ”
