Chapter 534 Great joy! Great joy! !

An adult male Siberian tiger weighs around 700 jin (approximately 350 kg). The hotel owner followed Wu Song to Jingyang Ridge to examine the tiger carcass, which weighed nearly a ton.

The shopkeeper could only shake his head at the enormous white tiger carcass. The two of them were exhausted from pushing the cart up the hill, let alone pushing this nearly one-ton white tiger carcass back to Wu Song's hometown in Qinghe County.

The shopkeeper discussed the matter with the evil star Wu Song, and Wu Song finally agreed to let the shopkeeper disassemble and cook the white tiger on the spot.

"Before you skin this white tiger, do me a favor first," Wu Song said to the shopkeeper.

"what's up?"

“Use the axe you brought to chop off this wretched hand of mine.”

As Wu Song spoke, he untied his left arm, which had been badly bitten by the white tiger, and showed it to the shopkeeper.

"My God!!"

The shopkeeper's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Wu Song's left arm was bitten beyond recognition by the white tiger; the shopkeeper had only ever seen a similar shape at a butcher's meat stall.

"My left hand is useless now, it's better to cut it off cleanly."

The shopkeeper stood up shakily and had Wu Song stretch out his arms on the bluestone before raising his axe and chopping down with force, as if splitting a pig bone.

Wu Song's face turned deathly pale, and so did the shopkeeper's.

"I need to have a couple of sips of wine to bolster my courage." The shopkeeper took out his own wine gourd, drank a couple of sips, and when he saw that Wu Song was also looking at him, he handed the gourd over, and Wu Song drank it all in one gulp.

“This tiger skin is tough, I’m afraid I’ll damage it if you peel it off.”

"How about this, I'll go and invite a few hunters I know; they're skilled at skinning animals."

"No way! If you're not kind-hearted and team up with a few hunters to bully a one-armed man like me, I'll have nowhere to seek justice even after I die!" Wu Song shouted at the shopkeeper.

"Ok."

"If I damage this tiger skin, you can't blame me!" the shopkeeper said.

"Just peel it."

The shopkeeper took a knife and cut off a layer of fur along with the flesh, afraid of cutting through the white tiger skin and damaging its appearance.

The technique was rough and careless, so the skinning process didn't take long. Fortunately, the white tiger skin was removed within a day.

"I'll give you this tiger penis to soak in wine," Wu Song said, and the shopkeeper didn't feel that his hard work had been in vain.

Tiger whip is the finest of whips, and it's extremely rare and hard to come by.

Tiger penis and his family's "transparent bottle fragrance" are a perfect match; just one whiff is enough to send you to heaven.

Taking the tiger head and tiger skin that Wu Song valued most, the shopkeeper treated the remaining tiger meat and bones even more roughly, cutting the tiger meat apart as if he were slaughtering a pig.

As the sun began to set, the two remained on Jingyang Ridge.

When they got hungry, they built a fire and roasted the tiger meat by the fire at night.

"Shopkeeper, take those offal out and braise it in the shop. Once it's braised, slice it and serve it with your drinks."

"Tiger heart and liver are both good stuff; I'm only getting this thanks to you," the shopkeeper said.

Wu Song simply waved his right hand.

"With your martial prowess, I think you could participate in the Heroes' Gathering in Yuhang," the shopkeeper said.

"I had planned to go back to my hometown to visit my brother before going there, but this tiger has delayed me," Wu Song said.

"Hero, you still have an older brother!!"

"Your elder brother must be a hero!"

The shopkeeper looked on with a hint of envy.

If any family had a relative like Wu Song, especially two brothers, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted in the village?
“My older brother is different from me.”

"Although my elder brother and I were born of the same mother, he is only five feet tall, not good-looking, and not liked by anyone. His personality is also the opposite of mine." Wu Song looked at the shopkeeper with both eyes.

"My brother and I lost both our parents when we were young, and my older brother raised me with great difficulty..."

Wu Song started chatting with the shopkeeper and told him about his family situation.

"..." "Your older brother is a hero too."

"I thought that if your elder brother hadn't had to worry about food and drink when he was young, he could have grown up to be as tall as you, a true hero," the shopkeeper remarked to Wu Song.

"Yes."

Wu Song nodded as well.

"Hero, you could take your older brother to the Heroes' Gathering. Maybe there's someone there who can cure this developmental stunt?"

Wu Song's eyes lit up immediately.

"Maybe it can even heal your broken hand..."

"Yes, it's possible!" Wu Song felt a glimmer of hope.

As their trust deepened, Wu Song asked the innkeeper to push the tiger's internal organs, meat, and bones down the hill on a cart and return them to the inn. The innkeeper then returned with an empty cart and took the tiger's head and skin back to Wu Song's hometown in Qinghe County.

Wu Song no longer had any intention of making a name for himself in Yanggu County. He now wanted to hurry home and take his elder brother to Yuhang to participate in the Heroes' Gathering.

……

Five or six days later, Wu Song and the shopkeeper arrived in Qinghe County, pulling a cart. Wu Song went straight home.

However, Wu Song didn't need to go home; he met Wu Dalang, who was selling steamed buns, on the street halfway there.

"elder brother!"

"Ah? Second Brother, what are you doing here?" Wu Dalang asked in surprise.

"Brother, don't you know? The Emperor has granted a general amnesty. I am innocent and can come back!"

"Second brother, do you know that you only knocked the person unconscious that day, not killed him, so you don't need to face any legal trouble?" Wu Dalang said to Wu Song.

"Alright, it's a good thing no matter what, let's go home and talk," the shopkeeper urged.

"It just so happens that you're back, Second Brother. I have some good news to share, but I don't know if you'd be interested."

Wu Dalang reached out to hold Wu Song's hand, but unexpectedly found himself holding an empty sleeve.

"Where's your hand?!" Wu Dalang exclaimed in shock, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Brother, don't be sad. Let's go home and talk!"

Wu Song scooped Wu Dalang up and placed him on the cart, along with the two carrying poles he used to sell steamed buns. The shopkeeper and Wu Song then quickly pulled the cart home.

Upon entering the courtyard, Wu Dalang jumped off the cart, and Wu Song uncovered the burlap covering the cart, revealing the white tiger head and skin to Wu Dalang.

"Brother, this beast gnawed my hand off, and this is what my hand looks like now," Wu Song said to Wu Dalang.

"Sigh..." Wu Dalang silently wiped away his tears.

"Brother, what kind of happy event are you talking about?" Wu Song asked.

"..."

“A wealthy family in the county had an adopted daughter named Pan Jinlian.”

"At the tender age of twenty, she was quite beautiful, but a wealthy man was pursuing her. The mistress of the house was thinking of marrying off her adopted daughter to prevent the wealthy man from harming her."

“It’s a great thing that I’m paying for the dowry myself,” Wu Dalang said.

"So, brother, you mean you're getting married?!" Wu Song exclaimed happily.

"Isn't it you who's back? Of course, it's time to find you a wife!" Wu Dalang said to Wu Song.

“My brother is not married yet, how can I marry him first?” Wu Song said.

"I married that beautiful and charming Pan Jinlian, but it only brought me suffering," Wu Dalang earnestly said to Wu Song.

"Forget it, brother."

"I have something important to do, and I need to take you with me, brother."

"I'll take you with me to the Heroes' Gathering in Yuhang on the 18th of August. Getting married will take up too much time," Wu Song said to Wu Dalang.
