Chapter 120: Reasonable Stay (2)
The villagers were frightened stiff by this series of events. Seeing that Fang Chen actually offered his arm to the tiger in exchange for Ji Xiaomu, everyone couldn't help but admire Fang Chen deeply. In the past, they were just nodding acquaintances with Fang Chen and knew that there was such a person in the village. Now Fang Chen has truly walked into the hearts of the villagers, and his image has instantly changed from a small invisible person to a tall and mighty one.
"This beast has actually learned to pretend to be dead." The village chief was the first to come to his senses. He walked up to the tiger and kicked it twice to make sure it was really dead.
"If it weren't for Fang Chen, you would have died just now." The village chief glared at Ji Xiaou. Ji Xiaou inexplicably felt that the village chief seemed a little bit cocky.
"I told you not to listen to me. You almost died just now."
"Your hand is injured. You should rest in the village for a few days. Don't go back to the mountain." The village chief turned around and said to Fang Chen. Fang Chen scratched his head. "Is it convenient?"
"It's convenient. What's inconvenient about it?" said the village chief, and several villagers nodded. There was no reason why Fang Chen saved the village but there was no place for him to recuperate.
Of course there is, there must be.
"Then who will take care of him?" asked the village chief's wife.
When Fang Chen heard this, he immediately glanced at Ji Xiaomu. Ji Xiaomu saw Fang Chen's hint and pretended not to see it and turned her head away.
Fang Chen was anxious. This was a good opportunity for him to be with her openly, and he absolutely could not miss it.
"Village..." If Ji Xiaowu didn't speak, then he would speak. Although he was a little thick-skinned, he had just saved her life in front of everyone. Asking Ji Xiaowu to take care of him should be... okay, right? He wouldn't be rejected, right?
"Let me do it." Seeing that Fang Chen was so anxious that he wanted to speak for himself, Ji Xiaomu took the initiative to speak after teasing him enough. After all, he was her savior, wasn't he?
"You?" The village chief was stunned. The villagers looked at Ji Xiaowu, who smiled and said, "He is my savior. Since I was injured, it is most appropriate for me to take care of him."
"That's right." Several villagers nodded. It was Aunt Ji who should be responsible. After all, she was injured while saving Aunt Ji. Seeing that everyone had no objection and thought it was the right thing to do, the village chief said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you to take care of it. There happens to be an old house at the foot of the mountain. Let Fang Chen live there. It's not far from Aunt Ji and it's easier to take care of her."
"I think it's okay." The villagers all agreed. "The house is a bit shabby, but the things in it are good. We will clean it up for you and you can live in it later." Several aunties spoke enthusiastically, looking at Fang Chen with kind eyes.
"Then I'll trouble you ladies." Fang Chen would of course obey the order.
"Of course we should." Everyone smiled and shook their heads.
"Village chief, how do we deal with this big insect?" asked a villager. This was the first time that a big insect was killed in their village. It was really amazing.
"...This?" The village chief was also troubled. No one in the village had ever beaten a big tiger before. They just drove it away before.
"Why don't we sell it?" Ji Xiaowu said with a smile, "Some of the things on its body are very nutritious. If we take it to the town or county, there will definitely be adults who will want it. The money from the sale should be divided equally among those who participated in the tiger hunt today?"
Ji Xiaomu's words made everyone's eyes light up, and they looked at the village chief. This was a great idea.
"Are you confident that you can sell it?" The village chief looked at Ji Xiaou. It was not as simple as the villagers thought. Seeing Ji Xiaou so determined, he suddenly felt that maybe she could really do it.
