Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 156: A Tigress with Cub

Judging from where the sound came from, it seemed to be the same valley as before.

But that’s not true. Wolves generally don’t dare to confront tigers head-on.

The tiger killed several wolves here a while ago. How dare those wolves come again?

Regardless of whether the wolves dare to come or not, the current problem is that the valley is the only way for them to get out.

Now there are wolves and tigers blocking the valley, how can the two of them get home?

You know, they have eaten all the food they brought with them, and if they don’t go back, they will starve.

"Master, let's go and take a look."

Qu Shaoyang gritted his teeth and decided to go over and see what was going on. If it didn't work, he would just have to fight his way through.

So the master and disciple took their guns, pulled the bolts, and walked carefully towards the valley.

As the two approached the valley, the howling of wolves became more and more frequent, and the roar of the tiger also carried a hint of urgency and pain.

Qu Shaoyang felt strange, so he quickened his pace and found a steep and rocky place, but a vantage point overlooking the valley, and looked down carefully.

Qu Shaoyang estimated that it was around the end of the afternoon or the beginning of the evening.

It just looks a little dark because of the high mountains and dense forests here and the poor light transmittance.

In the valley, dozens of wolves gathered together and surrounded a gorgeous tiger.

From time to time, a wolf would jump up and pounce on the tiger.

Judging from the size of the tiger, it should be a female. Moreover, the tiger seemed to have some difficulty in moving and looked injured.

Faced with the wolf pack's attack, the tiger could only dodge left and right but did not dare to take the initiative to attack. It roared from time to time, trying to scare away the wolves.

However, the wolves were not afraid at all and continued to look for flaws to attack. Although the tiger was ferocious, it could not defeat the wolves because of their large numbers.

If this continues, the tiger will suffer a great loss.

Thinking of this, Qu Shaoyang picked up his gun and walked down carefully, gradually approaching the bottom of the valley.

When he was within shooting range, Qu Shaoyang aimed at the wolves below and pulled the trigger.

After a few gunshots, several wolves fell down.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Dongshan also opened fire, killing several wolves in succession.

The wolves were frightened by the unexpected incident, and the tiger took the opportunity to counterattack and killed two wolves.

The wolves were now panicked and dared not attack anymore, and retreated step by step.

Qu Shaoyang took the opportunity to quickly load the bullet, then fired again, killing several more wolves.

The wolf pack was in complete chaos. Upon seeing this, the wolf king howled to the sky, issued an order, and the wolf pack quickly retreated.

The wolves quickly ran away, and at this time, the tiger below turned its head and looked towards Qu Shaoyang.

Qu Shaoyang thought that the tiger was going to rush over and bite someone, but in the end it did not make any move.

The tiger neither rushed over nor left, but lowered its head.

Immediately afterwards, two furry little guys crawled out from under the tiger's belly.

Qu Shaoyang then understood what was going on. It turned out that the tigress had given birth to cubs. The two cubs were still small, and looked only one or two months old.

No wonder the tigress didn't dare to attack actively just now. It turned out that she was carrying two cubs. Once she attacked, the two cubs would be exposed.

The two tiger cubs were too small and had no defense at all. If they fell into the wolf's mouth, they would surely die.

Qu Shaoyang was very grateful at this moment. He had just shot and killed the wolf, forced the wolf pack back, and saved the tigress and her cubs.

However, the tigress was still standing there motionless. What should Qu Shaoyang and the others do?
They have to go home, and this valley is the only way.

Even if they could choose to go somewhere else at this time, who knows if the tiger would suddenly attack and hurt people?
After all, this guy was too agile and had too strong an attack power. If they were not careful, they would become food for the tiger. "Master, what should we do now? We can't just stay here and wait for the tiger to leave, right? What if it doesn't leave?" Qu Shaoyang asked Liu Dongshan in a low voice.

Liu Dongshan was also a little dumbfounded at this moment.

Yes, the wolves retreated, but the tiger didn’t leave. What should the two of them do?

They couldn't just shoot the tigress with her cubs, could they? If the tigress died, what would happen to the cubs?
Just when the master and disciple were in a dilemma, the tigress at the bottom of the valley looked up at the hillside again and let out a low roar.

Then, the tigress picked up a wolf and led her two cubs, limping away.

It was not until the three tigers, one big and two small, had left for a while that the master and disciple breathed a sigh of relief and went down the hillside to the bottom of the valley.

At this time, there were still many wolf corpses at the bottom of the valley, but the master and apprentice had no time to care about them. It was important to leave this place quickly.

So Qu Shaoyang climbed up the cave, threw down the pickaxe, shovel and other tools they had brought with them, and then returned to the bottom of the valley.

The master and his apprentice carried their tools and a lot of stuff and left the place quickly.

The two walked to the exit of the valley in one breath, passed through the narrow exit, and walked out along Xiaodonggou.

The master and disciple carried too many heavy things, so they naturally couldn't walk fast. By the time they returned to the foot of Maoer Mountain, it was already the end of the Xu hour.

When the two were still a short distance away from the gate, the dogs Qinglang, Qinglong and others noticed them and started barking.

At the Liu family's house in the east courtyard, Lin Ruo saw that Lan should have gone to bed, and the room was pitch black.

However, there was some light coming from the east room in the west courtyard. I guess Doctor Chen was reading in the evening.

Hearing that the dog was making strange noises, Doctor Chen came out to check, "Who is it?"

"Uncle, it's me, Shaoyang." Qu Shaoyang responded outside the gate.

"Oh my god, it's Shaoyang, you guys are finally back."

Hearing Qu Shaoyang's movement, Doctor Chen hurried out, removed the bolt and opened the door.

"You've been gone for about half a month, and your family has been waiting for you every day, but they don't know where you've gone or where to look for you.

Come on, come inside and talk."

"Uncle, we won't go into the house. Let's go back to my master's place in the East Courtyard to rest. We can talk again tomorrow morning."

At this time, Li and Chen Xiuyun were probably already asleep. It would not be appropriate for two grown men to go in, so they decided to go back to the East Courtyard.

Just as Doctor Chen was about to speak, he heard someone pushing the door open from the East Courtyard.

"Dongshan, Shaoyang, are you back?" It was Lin Ruolan's voice.

I guess she was still awake, and she heard the strange noise of dogs barking outside, so she came out to check.

"Wife, we are back." Liu Dongshan responded hurriedly.

Hearing this, Lin Ruolan walked out quickly and opened the door. "I finally got you back. Have you had dinner? Come in quickly."

The master and his disciple entered the east courtyard, said "yes" to Doctor Chen, and quickly went into the house.

When Lin Ruolan heard that the father and son had come back without having eaten, she quickly lit a fire and cooked some rice.

When the food was heated up, the father and son ate some food with slurps, and then they felt better.

"How is it? Did you encounter any big stuff when you went into the mountains this time?" Lin Ruoan asked tentatively.

“Well, I encountered quite a few this time. Shaoyang is lucky because he found them all.

Wife, you don’t know, this guy is so funny.

We had been walking for the whole morning without opening our eyes, and he just threw his backpack over and it happened to crush a ginseng plant."
