Chapter 14 - Sorry Tiger San
Chapter 14 - Sorry Tiger San
The neighbourhood aunty saw Yu Dong going to the forest and felt a bit uncomfortable , the forest at the mountains was really dangerous at such a late hour yet Yu Dong had to leave the security of her house and go to hunt , really - the most irresponsible person are most responsible one's , once they get on the right track - looking at Yu Dong who was fearlessly going to the forest , the auntie in the neighbourhood couldn't help but bristle at her daughter who couldn't even get rid of the rice leeches from the paddies . How useless !
Yu Dong had no idea that because of her decision to hunt at night , a poor girl had to listen to an hour of lecture .
She was too busy releasing small amount of her spiritual energy to her surroundings warning the dangerous animals to not to come where she was standing , the forest was as dark as an inky soup boiled in a cauldron , with evanescence moonlight . However , Yu Dong who has dealt with Zombies that might pop out of anywhere and anytime , she wasn't worried because of just some darkness .
She fearlessly walked on the mountain trail where many villagers might pee in fear. As she walked a little deeper in the forest she started making small traps for animals like rabbits and goose , she was hoping that she might be able to catch a pair of gander and dame , and similar a pair of rabbits as well so as she could be able to raise a bunch of kits .
At least she didn't have to hunt everyday if she wanted to eat meat . So , Yu Dong raised her spiritual energy that rabbits and goose might like in the traps and hoped for the best once she was done laying five traps , she once again released a bit of energy to find a rare animal that might bring her a lot of money in one go - to her luck , she was able to lock on a tiger who was crouching behind a bushy bushes to hunt a deer .
Yu Dong thanked her luck and immediately climbed up a tree than using its branches like monkey bars , she hopped from one tree to another until she reached the spot where the deer and tiger was , if she was careful enough not to harm the pelt and the deer antlers , she might be able to sell it for good amount of money .
The tiger who was crouching behind the bushes to hunt had no idea that a thin sharp needle like root was crawling right under his belly , and that soon he will be the one getting hunted - just as it took a stance to leap , Yu Dong released her spiritual energy in the root and it pierced the heart of the tiger and deer like a sharp needle like blade , the least amount of damage and the most efficient result .
Yu Dong checked whether or not the tiger was dead with her spiritual energy and once she was sure that it was , she jumped down the tree ,muttered a quick " I'm sorry tiger san " as tigers were rare in her time and then skinned both the tiger and the deer , she knew that the villagers couldn't pay her a decent amount for the tiger pelt and meat so she didn't have to make show of her hunt again . Instead she put the tiger and the deer back in her inner world and went back down the trail she came from , on the way she picked up the pair of rabbits and goose that she caught and the extra rabbit that was caught in her other trap , checked their genders and once she was certain that they were exactly the gender she wanted , she placed them in her bucket and went down the mountain and entered the village .
The villagers saw that Yu Dong caught a pair of goose and fat chubby rabbits and licked their lips , how they wished they could buy it - but they knew that Yu Dong must have wanted to keep them or else she wouldn't have brought the pair alive as for the other rabbit , it was chubby but not enough to sell . So , they retreated back in their house muttering how lucky Yu Dong was to catch live rabbits and goose , everyone knew that goose were really ferocious if caught alive what the villagers didn't know that with Yu Dong 's spiritual energy even a tiger would become tame what was a little goose ?
When Yu Dong returned , Shen Li and Ye Liu were waiting for her , the moment they saw her return , they heaved a sigh of relief - Ye Liu looked at the rabbits and said " are you going to sell these ?"
Didn't she say that she was going to hunt something big to earn a lot of money .
Yu Dong placed the bucket with sleeping rabbits and goose and shook her head " No , we are going to raise them as long as they give birth to kits and lay eggs we Don't have to worry about food "
Ye Liu frowned then looked at the cute rabbits , looks like Yu Dong wasn't able to catch anything . Yu Dong understood his downcast expression and smiled " Don't worry , I hunted a tiger and deer just don't let the villagers know or it will cause trouble "
The Yu family shamelessly rushed to ask free boar meat from her , who knows if they found out that she hunted a tiger , her uncle might threaten to hang himself in front of her house if she doesn't give him the tiger pelt for free , Yu Dong knew how much her uncle doted on Yu Cheng , his precious rare gem like son .
" A tiger ?" Surprise illuminated Ye Liu 's face "
Where did you keep it ?"
" I hid it somewhere in the mountain ,don't worry the animals won't go there its a tiger - how many animal will dare to go where a bleeding tiger is kept ?" Said Yu Dong when she caught Shen Li 's exasperated and Ye Liu 's disappointed expression " I will wake up early in the morning and bring it down before the villagers wake up - so I will go and sleep , you two should sleep as well ."
With that Yu Dong bid the two good night and walked away to her room .
