Tan Xiu shuttled through the mountain forest as if he was walking on flat ground. He closely followed Su Ben's group of three who were carrying the fierce beast's corpse. After hurrying for more than an hour, they finally saw the peak of the outermost mountain. At this moment, Tan Xiu keenly saw a lot of lights shining halfway up the mountain in the distance.
"Stop!"
Tan Xiu sped up and blocked in front of the trio.
"What's wrong?" Asked Su Ben doubtfully.
"The four of us have been in the mountain for two days, and my car is still parked at the foot of the mountain outside. I'm afraid the villagers have already guessed that we have entered the mountain," said Tan Xiu. "I just saw a lot of lights halfway up the opposite mountain. It should be the villagers who have entered the mountain to look for us. Remember, the cultivation technique I taught you must never be leaked out. You have extraordinary abilities, but you must never reveal it in front of ordinary people, unless … it's a crisis as a last resort. "
"Alright!"
"Understood!"
The trio nodded.
"This leopard fierce beast was killed by you, and it has nothing to do with me," said Tan Xiu again. "You're also injured, which means you're the ones who killed it. I don't want to be in the limelight, so you can take all the credit. "
"Isn't this inappropriate, Tan Xiu?" Asked Su Quan hesitantly.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it." Tan Xiu waved his hand. "If outsiders ask, just say so. Also, we've been here for two days. Just say that we've been looking for this leopard these two days, so we can't say anything about the stone forest and the Spirit Spring. Else, if ordinary people were to mistakenly enter the stone forest without my guidance, only death awaits them. "
"Alright!"
At this time, the trio looked at Tan Xiu with eyes that were completely different from before. Such a great credit, yet Tan Xiu directly pushed it to them. He didn't even want to take part in it, just to keep a low profile. Such a character made the trio admire him endlessly.
Even Su Xiangfei felt reverence for Tan Xiu at this time. He suddenly thought of Tan Xiu half a year ago and Tan Xiu half a year later. He felt that Tan Xiu wasn't really stupid after the car accident. He was just pretending to be crazy and wanted to keep a low profile. For so many years, he must have been waiting patiently for revenge, secretly making all the preparations.
Amazing!
Terrifying!
While Su Xiangfei admired Tan Xiu, he also felt fear in his heart.
"Such a young age, such a low-key personality, such a shocking mind. He's … too terrifying. " Su Xiangfei's face paled slightly. He stole a glance at Tan Xiu and then immediately turned his head away, suppressing the fear that was growing in his heart.
As the four of them continued their journey, it took them about 20 minutes to see the villagers, police officers, and firefighters searching for them in the forest.
"They are here …"
A roar full of surprise and surprise instantly reverberated in the forest.
In a short time, one or two hundred people gathered around. Everyone looked at the four of them with the same expression, which was surprise and disbelief. They were pleasantly surprised that the four of them were safe and sound, while they were in disbelief that Su Ben and the others were carrying the huge leopard's corpse.
"Tan Xiu, Su Ben, Su Quan, Su Xiangfei, you … you're really making trouble blindly." Su Xiangjian rushed to the front. Even though he had seen the several people carrying the leopard's corpse, he still angrily rebuked them.
"Uncle Xiangjian, how are we making trouble blindly?" Su Quan grinned. "This leopard is too hateful. We went into the mountain to kill this leopard to ensure the safety of our villagers! Look, it's this leopard. We've already killed it. "
Su Xiangjian deeply looked at the leopard's corpse, but still said with dissatisfaction, "Even if you want to go into the mountain to kill this leopard, shouldn't you tell everyone in advance? Do you know that in the past two days, the villagers have almost turned this mountain upside down in order to look for you? If you didn't appear today, we would have directly rushed into the deeper mountains and forests. Do you know how worried everyone is about you?! "
Tan Xiu took a step forward and smilingly said, "It's indeed our fault, Uncle Xiangjian. We didn't expect to waste so much time. According to our previous plan, we went into the mountain to look for it and then went back if we couldn't find it. Who would have thought that we would find this leopard as soon as we came in? We chased it and fought with it at the same time. Finally, it took us two days to set a trap and kill it. Just look at the three of them. They fought hand-to-hand just to kill this leopard. "
Su Xiangjian also saw the injuries on the three men, as well as the bloodstains on their clothes. He hurriedly asked with concern, "How are you? Are your injuries serious? "
"We're fine. Tan Xiu has already stopped the bleeding and bandaged us." Su Ben shook his head.
Su Xiangjian heaved a sigh of relief inwardly and silently nodded.
Zhao Donghe, surrounded by several policemen in uniform, came to the front of Tang Xiu's group of four. He looked at the bull-sized leopard and then at the four of them, saying, "The four of you really did a good job. Though it was a bit inappropriate for you to rashly enter the mountain, you still managed to kill this animal that harmed people. I'm Zhao Donghe, the Chief of the County Public Security Bureau. I sincerely thank you for eliminating the evil for the people. "
"You're too polite, Chief Zhao. It's what we should do," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
Zhao Donghe's eyes then fell on Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "You're Tan Xiu, right? The famous Young Divine Doctor, Tan Xiu. You're both brave and resourceful. You're really young and promising! "
Tan Xiu smiled and modestly said a few words. Then, he looked at everyone and smilingly said, "I'm really sorry to have made the villagers worry about me. It's the New Year, yet I still troubled you to come to the mountain to look for me. Brother Ben and the other two have killed the leopard, so everyone can feel at ease to celebrate the New Year. After we go back, I'll go to the best restaurant in the county to order a meal. Since everyone has gathered together, let's celebrate the New Year together on New Year's Eve. "
"Great!"
Each and every one of the Su Family Village villagers showed a bright smile and applauded.
After some conversation, everyone set foot on the road back. What made Su Ben, Su Quan, and Su Xiangfei very excited was that they finally didn't have to carry the leopard's corpse on the road.
Back at the Su Family Village.
Tan Xiu drove the car and stopped at his grandmother's house with the three of them, instructing them to move the leopard's corpse down. Before the four of them entered the courtyard, Tang Yunde, Su Lingyun, Zhang Shi, Chen Huiying, Mu Qingping, and Sujanin rushed out.
"Xiu!"
"Son!"
Su Lingyun and Chen Huiying separately rushed to Tan Xiu and Su Ben.
Tan Xiu looked at his mother, who was rushing over. He smiled and supported her, saying, "I'm fine, Mom. We're all fine. We just went into the mountain to kill this man-eating leopard. You see, we're back now! Don't worry about it. "
With tears in her eyes, Su Lingyun patted Tan Xiu's arm and angrily said, "Who told you to show off your abilities? What if … what if something bad happened to you? What should we do then? "
Zhang Shi also followed and said, "Yeah, Xiu. This mountain is so dangerous! You've been gone for two days, and we've been worried sick. You can't do this kind of stupid thing again. "
Tan Xiu secretly forced a wry smile and said a lot of good words to barely appease everyone's mood. Originally, Tang Yunde and Su Lingyun planned to take Zhang Shi to Star City to celebrate the New Year. But due to a strange combination of factors, they returned to the Su Family Village, so everyone decided to stay this year.
Immediately after, Tan Xiu took Su Ben and the other two to the county hospital to re-bandage their wounds. The four of them drove to the county town and booked dozens of tables and dishes in the county's largest hotel. They also paid twice the price and sent them to the Su Family Village.
Afterward, Tan Xiu took the three of them to the hospital to re-suture and re-bandage their wounds. Then, in the middle of the night, they knocked on the door of a shop that sold firecrackers and fireworks and asked the shop owner to send a truck of fireworks to the Su Family Village.
Although the Su Family Village was located in a remote area, the roads in the village were very spacious. Because of the villagers' help, a lot of round tables and benches were rented from the neighboring village and placed on the road in front of the village's door. Many villagers looked excited as they pulled the electric wires and light bulbs outside. If one were to overlook the Su Family Village, they would find that most of the village was brightly lit.
Gu Yin had never encountered such a lively New Year's scene in the past years. After all, she was still a child. She ran around excitedly and even played with a group of children who were older than her or younger than her.
As the dishes and wine from the county town's big hotel arrived and were placed on the tables, the villagers in the village happily drank and chatted. Even the two families who had lost their loved ones showed a trace of a smile on their faces. However, the most exciting thing for everyone was that the County Public Security Bureau Chief, Zhao Donghe, brought his entire family to gather with the Su Family Village. Even the table that his family made was sitting together with Tang Yunde and Su Lingyun's family.
In addition.
What happened in the Su Family Village on the night of New Year's Eve was spread to several nearby villages. Some people from several nearby villages came to join in the fun. The Village Chiefs and people from other villages who were related to the Su Family Village led to more than a dozen tables.
At midnight.
With the arrival of the New Year, the sound of firecrackers roared and the fireworks reflected the sky red.
That night!
For the villagers of the Su Family Village, it might be unforgettable. Even the grand scene of the New Year's Eve dinner party would be held every year in the future. No one expected that this newly formed custom would become the most important custom in the Su Family Village in the future.
The four young people, Tan Xiu, Su Ben, Su Quan, and Su Xiangfei, also became the great heroes of the Su Family Village and the surrounding villages.
The excitement lasted until one o 'clock in the morning.
Early the next morning, when the sky was just brightening, Tan Xiu, Su Xiangfei, Sujanin, and Gu Yin were pulled out of bed by Mrs. Zhang. Because the custom of setting off firecrackers and eating dumplings on the morning of the New Year's Day had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every villager.
"Xiangfei, go set off the firecrackers."
Tan Xiu stood by the well in the yard and washed his face with the bone-chilling cold water. Then, he called out to Su Xiangfei, who had finished washing.
