Chapter 137 Disaster Star
Han Jinyan pulled out the dagger from the tiger's neck with a fierce look on his face. A stream of blood gushed out as he pulled out the dagger, muttering, "Let's see if you can survive."

Gu Hua swiftly turned over before the tiger fell, and Shen Hongwei also let go of the tiger's tail that she was tightly holding. The three of them worked together to kill a large adult tiger.

Han Jinyan walked over cautiously to check if the tiger was really dead and had no more attack power, then he turned around and looked at the two people who were gasping for breath.

He smiled and said, "I am really good. If it weren't for you two, I don't know how long it would take for this big tiger to be killed by you."

Knowing full well that it was Gu Hua and Shen Hongwei, one of whom fixed the tiger's head to weaken its attack, and the other grabbed the tiger's tail to restrain its body movements, he only then found the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the big tiger, and he still wanted to take credit for it.

"You are so powerful. Now that we have come to this mountain, we will probably face these ferocious beasts the most. It is just right that you can be of use."

Han Jinyan met Gu Hua's gaze and spoke in a serious tone.

He knew that if he didn't say anything, he would have to fight these beasts in the future. He lowered his head and said timidly: "Actually, I'm not that powerful..."

"Puchi." Shen Hongwei saw Han Jinyan's dissatisfied look and raised her hand to suppress the corner of her mouth that was raised. "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

The three men rested for a while, and then found another cow grazing in a mountain, but they never found the escaped mule.

……

The sun sets in the west.

"Let's go back." Gu Hua glanced at the endless mountains and said, "Since we can't find the mule, it means we are not destined to find it."

When Shen Hongwei heard Gu Hua say that she wanted to go back, she wanted to put the dead tiger on the back of a cow and take it away. As soon as she put it on, the big black cow's legs went soft and it fell to its knees.

"Silly girl." Gu Hua saw this scene and explained: "The tiger is the king of beasts. When the black bull smelled his scent, how could it not be weak in the knees and drag it away?"

"What should we do then?" Shen Hongwei looked at the bloody tiger with disdain. She couldn't carry such a big tiger back home.

Gu Hua pointed to the place where the yamen runners had dropped them off earlier and said, "The cows ran away. They definitely won't be able to pull the empty cart back for such a long distance."

Han Jinyan understood immediately, smiled happily, and said, "I'll go harness the ox cart."

He just heard Gu Hua say that cows are afraid of tigers, and he resigned himself to carrying the tiger back himself. He couldn't let two women carry the tiger when a grown man like him was around.

Now that we have ox carts available, who would still be willing to carry it?

Han Jinyan went over and saw three wooden cart frames abandoned by the yamen runners. He pulled two oxen over to harness them.

Gu Hua looked at the remaining car and thought that he might need the mule he found that day.

They planned to throw it on the ox cart and pull it back. Even if they couldn't find the mule in the end, they could still use it to pull things.

"This road is so narrow that the bailiffs can't even use ox carts to take us in. How are we going to go back now?" Han Jinyan and Shen Hongwei looked at Gu Hua and asked.

It was because the road leading to the exile village was too narrow that the yamen runners stopped here and let them walk into Laoshan Village in the mountains.

Gu Hua frowned slightly, then pointed to the mountain forest where they had been looking for the mule.

"Although there is no decent road over there, bullock carts should be able to pass through it. By bypassing this section, the road over there is not wide either, but if we go slower, we should be able to pass the bullock carts."

They were new here and unfamiliar with the terrain. It was not easy to find a wide road leading inside. Gu Hua's suggestion was the most time-saving and practical. On the two ox carts, the one driven by Han Jinyan had a cart on it and the other had a big tiger on it. The three of them walked towards the forest.

This side of the forest was overgrown with weeds and had bumpy terrain. Gu Hua and the other two took some effort before they were able to get through here.

Han Jinyan raised his arm and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, sighing: "Oh, I finally made it."

It was already dusk when Gu Hua and the other two returned to Laoshan Village.

Some people, led by Gu Jintang, a member of the Gu clan, and Wang Hanyou's family, saw Gu Hua coming back, and it seemed as if the anger that had been accumulating for such a long time had suddenly found an outlet.

"It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, we would have been assigned to other places. How come we suddenly ended up here?"

"That's right." Liu and Wang Hanyou's wife Mao Qiurong shouted loudly: "She is a disaster star, she should be beaten to death."

Gu Hua looked coldly at the dozens of exiles who rushed towards her just after she returned.

"You bad guys, my mother is not a disaster!" The four children bared their teeth and shouted at those who cursed Gu Hua like little wolves.

"Stop it right there! If anyone dares to say that my niece is a disaster again, I will never forgive him." Uncle Chen ran over and stood in front of Gu Hua, shouting loudly.

The people from the Chen family, the Shen family, and the four branches, except Miao, Gu Yun, and Chen Man, all gathered around.

Even Ye, who disliked Gu Hua, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed her eldest son Chen Ling, second son Chen Ze, and daughter-in-law Bai Zhenzhen to Uncle Chen's side.

Gu Chen looked at his mother and sister with disappointment. Fortunately, his father did not ignore it and came with him to help. Otherwise, their fourth family would really let down their cousin's care along the way.

"Boss, what are you doing here?" The old lady of the Shan family shouted, "Come back here."

"Mom, don't worry about them," said Shan Chenghuai, a member of the second branch of the Shan family. "My eldest brother and his family have never listened to you, mother. When they get beaten, they will know that you are doing this for their own good."

Shan Chengshuo and his wife, their eldest son Shan Xian who was frail and not loved by their old mother, and their six-year-old daughter, pretended not to hear what old lady Shan and their brother said, and continued to come to Gu Hua to help stop those people.

The father and son of the Sun family, Sun Chengfeng and Sun Haihui, ignored the obstruction of Mrs. Sun and daughter Sun Yuyan, and walked over with the second son.

Among the more than one hundred people, there were some women who were grateful to Gu Hua for saving them from the bullying of the rebels, and they all walked towards her.

"That time, when I was about to be insulted, my husband abandoned me to save his own life. It was you who saved me."

"And me." Another woman came out.

"Yes, if it weren't for you, sister, I would have really lost my innocence and would not have survived." The little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and weak, and looked at Gu Hua with gratitude in her eyes.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came out and said with tears in her eyes, "My family hid aside and watched me being humiliated by those people. It was you, my sister, who chopped off the heads of those beasts with a big knife."

“You are not a disaster, but the savior of us women.” One of them concluded: “Without you, we would not have died.

I am afraid that after we lose our innocence, our lives will be worse than death."
