Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

Gao Hongmei took the newspaper and quickly opened it, which had only been published that day.

Her gaze swept across the newspaper pages, most of which reported on national policies and speeches by leaders.

But soon, her gaze settled on a section in the lower right corner of the newspaper.

On the newspaper page was a photograph, a picture of a person posing with a tiger.

The person in the photo is Li Yunshan, who had just separated from her not long ago.

In the photo, Li Yunshan is standing on the back of a car, holding a gun, looking very spirited and dashing.

Next to him was a shelf with a dead, striped tiger hanging from it.

Look at that striped tiger's body; when it's hanging up, it's even taller and bigger than Li Yunshan. You can tell at a glance that it's not someone to be trifled with.

On the car body, there was a large red paper with seven big characters written on it: Tiger-fighting hero Li Yunshan.

"This...how is this possible?"

Gao Hongmei stared wide-eyed at Li Yunshan's photo in the newspaper in disbelief.

She really hoped she was seeing things or hallucinating, but even after rubbing her eyes hard a few times, the photo in the newspaper still showed Li Yunshan.

In addition to publishing a photo of Li Yunshan and the tiger, this page also vividly describes Li Yunshan's tiger-hunting experience in great detail.

In short, recently, there have been frequent incidents of tigers attacking people in Hongxing Forest Farm in our county. In just half a month, the tigers have caused eight deaths and nearly twenty injuries, causing great inconvenience and panic to forest production and the lives of people in nearby villages.

Li Yunshan, a hunter from Guapigou Village, with a fearless spirit of eliminating the tiger menace for the people, ventured alone into the deep mountains and killed the man-eating tiger with three shots.

Just before tiger-hunting hero Li Yunshan killed the man-eating tiger, four other hunters perished in its jaws...

Looking at the detailed report in the newspaper, Gao Hongmei could hardly believe that what Li Yunshan said was true.

He really did kill a tiger, and he did it all by himself, venturing alone into the tiger's den deep in the mountains.

The reason he did this was to raise more money for her father's surgery.

But how did I treat Li Yunshan?

When Li Yunshan explained the origin of the money to her, she didn't believe him at all. She thought he had done something heinous and illegal to earn that large sum of money.

Even when Li Yunshan tried to explain to her, she not only refused to listen but also angrily slapped him across the face. In her anger, she even shoved all the money Li Yunshan had lent her back to him.

But now, the facts are clear: what Li Yunshan said was true; he really did kill a tiger, and the Hongxing Forest Farm rewarded him with a huge bonus.

But she didn't believe him; she not only doubted him, but also slapped him.

Thinking of this, Gao Hongmei's face turned awkward. She didn't know how to face Li Yunshan.

After all, he had good intentions and risked his life to hunt tigers in the mountains just to help her raise money for her father's surgery. But she didn't appreciate his kindness and still viewed Li Yunshan with her old prejudices.

"What did this newspaper say?"

Seeing that Gao Hongmei's expression was not good, Su Lihua curiously picked up the newspaper and started reading.

However, when she saw the contents of the newspaper, her face was filled with disbelief.

That street hustler, Li Yunshan, her ex-husband, actually went into the mountains and killed a tiger.

How is that possible?

Li Yunshan has always been a coward. I remember when we first got married, one day when we were killing a chicken, she asked Li Yunshan to do it. But even killing a chicken scared him so much that he flew into a panic. In the end, she was the one who cut the rooster's throat to bleed it out.

With a coward like him, not even as good as a woman like her, how dare he go into the mountains to hunt tigers?

The newspapers were full of bullshit, saying things like, "With a fearless spirit of ridding the people of a tiger menace, he went alone into the deep mountains and shot the man-eating tiger dead with three shots..."

The fearless spirit of eliminating tigers for the people?

Haha, what a joke. Someone like him, who idles around all day, has the fearless spirit of a feather duster.

Although Su Lihua felt that the newspaper's content was a bit too exaggerated, after calming down, she realized that the newspaper wouldn't publish such false news for no reason. She estimated that the story of Li Yunshan taking down a tiger was probably true.

After all, the news of the tiger attack on people in Hongxing Forest Farm must have spread far and wide, and there must be quite a few people who know about it.

Putting everything else aside, there are several villages near Hongxing Forest Farm, with at least several thousand people.

Furthermore, the news of the tiger hunt must have been officially confirmed before it could be published in the newspapers.

So, in other words, Li Yunshan's tiger-hunting is real.

But how dare he do that?

With Li Yunshan's cowardice, as small as a rat's, how could he possibly fight a tiger?

He went into the mountains alone to hunt tigers...

Su Lihua found it unbelievable.

However, what puzzled her was why Gao Hongmei reacted so strongly after seeing the report about Li Yunshan's anti-corruption campaign.

"Hey, Hongmei, what are you so surprised about? The tiger-hunting incident is probably true, but it's definitely not as fantastical as the newspapers make it out to be. What's with all this talk about killing a tiger with three shots and some kind of fearless spirit? Others may not know Li Yunshan, but we do."

Su Lihua said casually.

"I'm not surprised he caught the tiger, I...I...sigh..." Gao Hongmei said, then thought of how she had mistakenly thought that the money Li Yunshan had taken out was stolen or robbed, and how she had gotten angry about it, advised him to turn himself in to the police station, and even slapped him hard across the face. She found it hard to talk about it.

Why are you stammering? Just say what you have to say. What can't you tell me?

"Sigh, come with me outside, let's talk in the hallway."

Gao Hongmei rubbed her face and walked out of the ward first.

After Su Lihua and Gao Hongmei arrived at the corridor outside the ward, Gao Hongmei said, "Lihua, I was actually a little surprised by that bastard... He actually killed a tiger. But you don't know, when I came out of the doctor's office just now, I ran into Li Yunshan. He said he was worried that my father was short of money for the surgery, so he went and got some money."

"At the time, I asked him where he got the money, and he said it was a reward from the forestry farm for hunting tigers. I didn't believe him at the time, and I thought he had done something shady, like stealing or robbing, to get that money."

"I urged him to go to the police station to turn himself in, but he still insisted that the money was a reward for killing a tiger. I was very angry and slapped him hard across the face. I was so angry that I returned all the money he had lent me."

"But now, what he said is actually true; he really killed a tiger."

Gao Hongmei recounted everything that had happened on the hospital rooftop to Su Lihua in detail.

However, the more she talked, the more embarrassed she became.

Because he not only misunderstood Li Yunshan, but also slapped him.

What embarrassed and ashamed her the most was that her father was going to have surgery the next day, but because of a misunderstanding, she not only returned the money she had borrowed, but also refused to let Li Yunshan, who kindly came to give her money, go to his door.

This...sigh...

The thought that she didn't have enough money for her father's surgery, and that she had turned down Li Yunshan's offer of help, put Gao Hongmei under immense pressure and made her feel irritable.

She rubbed her forehead vigorously, trying to alleviate the irritability, but it didn't help much.

"Lihua, do you think I'm being silly? Why am I still judging him with my old prejudices?"

After a while, Gao Hongmei couldn't help but speak, which could be considered an indirect admission of her mistake.

"How can you be so stupid? It's because that bastard was unreliable before. Although he didn't do anything heinous, he did a lot of petty theft. Let alone you, even if it were me or Xiulan, if he suddenly took out a large sum of money and said that he earned it by killing a tiger, no one would believe it."

"So, we have to blame Li Yunshan. If he hadn't given us a bad impression before, who would have misunderstood him?"

"Besides, the idea of ​​hunting tigers is itself a fantasy. Can you believe that someone who makes a huge fuss over killing a chicken would have the guts to go into the mountains to hunt tigers? Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it either, and no one in the entire Guapigou Village would believe it."

Su Lihua counted on her fingers, explaining each item to Gao Hongmei one by one.

"Sigh, it's too late to say anything now."

Gao Hongmei sighed again, rubbing her throbbing temples, her voice sounding tired: "If only I had listened patiently to his explanation instead of judging him with my old prejudices and assuming he had done something like stealing or robbing."

"Hey, so what if it's a misunderstanding? Why are you overthinking it? Just talk to him and clear things up. What are you afraid of?"

Su Lihua encouraged it.

After Li Yunshan and Gao Hongmei divorced, he would avoid Gao Hongmei whenever he saw her.

At that time, she had just married Li Yunshan. When she saw him walking around Gao Hongmei, she asked him who that woman was. Li Yunshan changed the subject and pulled her away from Gao Hongmei.

Later, she learned that Li Yunshan would cower in the presence of Gao Hongmei.

Moreover, Su Lihua felt that Gao Hongmei had a fiery personality and spoke bluntly, and Li Yunshan also knew this. Since there was a misunderstanding earlier, they should just talk it out face to face.

In the past, Gao Hongmei might have gone to Li Yunshan to explain things clearly.

But things are different now. Her father broke his leg and needed surgery, so Li Yunshan offered to lend her money. Because he was worried that the surgery wouldn't be enough, Li Yunshan risked going into the mountains to hunt tigers, just to earn the reward offered by the forest farm.

When her father was in trouble, not only did he lend her money, but he also risked his life to go into the mountains to hunt tigers, hoping to earn more money for her father's surgery. However, she scoffed at Li Yunshan's explanation, had no trust in him, slapped him, and threw a tantrum to return all the money that Li Yunshan had lent her.

Now, although she knows she misunderstood Li Yunshan, Gao Hongmei still can't get over what she did on the hospital rooftop and wants to go find Li Yunshan to explain things clearly.

However, the only person who can help her right now is Li Yunshan.

If she doesn't talk to Li Yunshan and clear up the misunderstanding, will Li Yunshan still take the initiative to lend her money?
