Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

a few days later.

On the summit of a mountain that resembles a tiger's head, Wang Yuyu yawned widely at the sun overhead.

Looking down the mountain, you can see a small village nestled there.

The village loudspeaker was broadcasting the midday news, and it was this broadcast that woke Wang Yuyu up.

Listening to the clear and articulate broadcast, Wang Yu squinted, slightly shaking her head, looking quite pleased with herself.

For young people, radio is somewhat outdated; it's much faster to use their mobile phones.

But for Wang Yuyu, it was a rare opportunity to learn about the outside world, so naturally she listened attentively.

Occasionally, he would sneak into the village at night, hide outside the window, and keep the elderly in the house company while they watched TV to relieve their boredom.

Just as Wang Yuyu was engrossed in listening, three young people were climbing up the mountainside.

They had all heard the legends of this mountain and came here specifically to search for treasure.

Wang Yuyu also knew that legend.

He overheard this story from three old men drinking together when he secretly entered the village once.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a bandit den on this mountain. The leader was called Zuo Shan Hu, and he had two or three hundred men under his command. They committed all kinds of evil deeds, including burning, killing, and looting, and stole countless gold and silver treasures.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, during the large-scale suppression of bandits in Northeast China, Zuo Shanhu and his gang were wiped out by the army, but the treasures they had looted over the years were never found.

At that time, Zuo Shanhu and several of his leaders were killed on the spot in the battle, and no one else knew where the treasure was hidden.

The troops refused to believe it and interrogated many of the surviving bandits. They also searched the mountain for three days and three nights, but they couldn't find a single hair on the mountain.

There was no other way; the troops had other missions to complete, so they had to abandon their duties and leave.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain saw this clearly.

Seeing that the troops returned empty-handed, many people had wicked ideas and wanted to find Zuo Shanhu's treasure.

But to this day, no one has discovered those treasures.

Gradually, this story became a legend.

Every year, many people from other places hear about this legend and come excitedly to search for the treasure, but they all return empty-handed.

Soon, the radio news ended, and Wang Yu opened her eyes and yawned widely.

Then he stood up, stretched, and loosened his muscles.

Then he shook his whole body, smoothing out his messy tiger fur.

Seeing that a few tiger hairs were still defiant and raised their heads, Wang Yuyu turned his head and licked them, forcefully suppressing them.

After tidying himself up, Wang Yu turned and headed down the mountain.

As she walked, Wang Yuyu suddenly heard voices coming from ahead, and she was taken aback.

"Huh? Why is someone here?"

Since Wang Yuyu started frequently appearing around the village, the villagers rarely go up the mountain unless absolutely necessary.

Even if you go up a mountain, you won't climb this far to the top.

There are tigers in the mountains; anyone who isn't stupid knows to avoid them.

Wang Yuyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. He wanted to see what this group of people were here for.

Could they be from out of town, here looking for treasure?

Looking around, Wang Yuyu spotted the largest tree, sprinted forward, and quickly climbed up to hide.

A short while later, three young men approached from a distance.

"Old Wang, do you even know the way? Why are you getting further and further astray?"

Yu Tao, who was at the back of the group, leaned against a tree, panting heavily, and looked at Wang Yanghui, who was leading the way, with a dissatisfied expression.

Wang Yanghui stopped and turned back, saying, "Old Yu, hang in there a little longer. Getting down the mountain is easy; just rush down!"

"Don't you want to climb up to the tiger's head and see if the treasure is hidden in its mouth?"

"Just think of all that gold and silver jewelry. I heard it took several truckloads, and conservatively estimated to be a ton or two..."

Upon hearing the word "treasure," Yu Tao smiled, his expression softening considerably.

He also wanted to find the treasure and make a fortune!

Even if it's not all gold and silver jewelry, just the Yuan Shikai silver dollars are still valuable!

If I had a few more antiques, I'd be rolling in money!

Liao Siyuan, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "That's right, Lao Yu, hang in there a little longer! Perseverance is victory!"

"We've come this far, we can't give up halfway, hope lies ahead..."

Yu Tao gritted his teeth, his expression contorted with rage, and said, "Fine, then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and go, the treasure is waiting for us..."

Up in the tree, Wang Yu listened to the three people's conversation with disdain in his eyes.

"Three idiots. If there really was treasure, would it be your turn to look for it?"

"Damn it, the government already found them..."

"They must have been fooled by that legend again. Don't they use their brains? Do they think there's such a thing as a free lunch?"

"So many people couldn't find it, but only the three of you were able to..."

Wang Yu watched the three people walk by, completely unaware that a tiger was hiding in the tree.

After the three had walked away, Wang Yuyu was about to go downstairs when she suddenly heard their exclamations and immediately stopped.

"Tigers, there really are tigers in these mountains..."

"Old Yu, keep your voice down, or you'll really attract the tiger..."

"Don't shout, don't shout! Maybe that tiger is nearby! Quick, climb the tree, quick, climb the tree..."

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the three, Wang Yu knew that his footprints had been discovered by them, and he was speechless.

"No, brother, didn't you do any intelligence gathering before you went up the mountain?"

"Rushing up the mountain without knowing anything, aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Everyone in the village knows I'm on the mountain, except you, right? You look down on me, don't you?"

"Is the treasure really that tempting?"

"You're even willing to risk your lives..."

Wang Yu looked in the direction of the three people and saw three figures quickly climbing up a tree.

After thinking about it, Wang Yu decided to tease them a bit, since there was nothing else to do anyway.

"Awoo~"

Wang Yuyu revealed his tiger head and roared in the direction of the three people.

Fearing that the three wouldn't notice him, he even raised a paw and waved at them.

The three people turned around at the sound and immediately saw Wang Yuyu smiling and waving at them. They were so frightened that they trembled and screamed repeatedly.

"Ah... a tiger..."

"Help! There's a tiger!"

"The tiger climbed the tree! Help! Is anyone there?!"

"Don't eat me, don't eat me, I don't taste good..."

"..."

Hearing the three men's ramblings, Wang Yuyu's face immediately darkened.

"Damn it, am I that scary?"

"Look at the state of you all, you're a fucking disgrace to men!"

"Who says tigers can't climb trees? That's fucking boring..."

After a moment of indignation, Wang Yuyu lost interest and slowly climbed down the tree.

He, Wang Yuyu, wouldn't do something that would lower his standards, like playing with three idiots.

Stepping on the ground, Wang Yuyu gently stomped her feet, feeling a sense of peace.

After glancing back at the three fools, Wang Yuyu turned and went down the mountain without looking back.

Even after Wang Yuyu had gone far away and was no longer visible, the three of them still dared not come down from the tree. Trembling, they took out their phones and called the police.
