1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 149

“What should we do? Chase or not?”

Seeing Maolvzi and the others charging forward, Li Yunfeng stood in place and asked the crowd.

Li Yunfeng wasn’t so arrogant as to think he could kill a tiger with just a shotgun.

These creatures had no rivals in the northern forests.

The key was the Siberian tiger’s explosive speed; it could reach over 80 kilometers per hour in a burst.

That speed was enough to run a couple of laps on the highway.

Imagine you’re carrying a shotgun, shooting at cars on the highway.

Not to mention whether the car could dodge it, even if you killed the driver, you wouldn’t have time to dodge the car yourself.

Moreover, with the strength of a Siberian tiger, one paw strike was equivalent to a ton of force.

Li Yunfeng’s current strength was only on par with a Siberian tiger.

Li Yunfeng had the strength, but he truly couldn’t block a paw strike from a Siberian tiger!

“Chase!”

“Let’s all charge together. We can get that donkey back and eat it.”

“Then, we’ll use that Siberian tiger to compensate for the loss of the donkey!”

With that, Maolvzi led Erlengzi and ran forward.

Li Yunfeng looked back and saw Fuwa and Tiedan’er also running out, carrying their guns.

Of course, it wasn’t just these four; there were also two or three dozen people in the fifth group, all carrying guns.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Charge, charge, charge!”

“Let’s all corner this tiger; hopefully, we can take it down!”

A group of people yelled and screamed as they charged in the direction the Siberian tiger had left.

Li Yunfeng looked at the people rushing forward and followed behind them with his gun.

Li Yunfeng still had an unhealed leg wound, so he wasn’t running very fast, just lagging far behind the group.

“I didn’t expect it; the tiger came to the village even before spring began!”

At Li Yunfeng’s house, Old Lady Li looked through the back window at the people chasing the tiger up the mountain and sighed.

“Grandma, do tigers often come into the village?”

Hearing Old Lady Li’s words, Natasha and the others asked curiously.

Where they came from, Siberian tigers were rarely seen now.

Back then, Siberian tigers had been hunted almost to extinction by them.

Those wealthy oligarchs all loved tiger skins.

“Yes, every year when spring begins, Siberian tigers come into the village.”

“And it’s not just Siberian tigers; there are also black bears and brown bears.”

“Every year at the end of March, those black bears and other animals wake up from hibernation.”

“At that time, not only black bears, but even those long snakes will wake up from hibernation.”

“When there are too many wild beasts here, there won’t be enough food in the forest.”

“This leads to these wild beasts coming to the village every year.”

“Shuhua and the others know that last year, black bears even came into the village to snatch pigs.”

Old Lady Li explained the village situation to the girls with a smile.

Hongqi Production Team’s location was quite special.

It was right in the middle of these mountains, and the closest place was Wanda Mountain Commune.

So, those wild beasts liked to enter Hongqi Production Team.

Another reason was that Hongqi Production Team was the largest production team in the area.

Every year, the commune would assign tasks to the Hongqi Production Team.

Two hundred pigs and fifty cattle each year.

Of course, the commune wouldn’t let the people here raise them for nothing.

There would be some extra numbers for each type, and by autumn, they only needed to hand in the required amount.

The rest would remain in the village.

The cattle in the village were left behind that way.

Back to Li Yunfeng and the others, Li Yunfeng leisurely lagged behind the group with his gun.

Everyone knew that Li Yunfeng had been shot in the leg, so no one said anything about him running slower.

Besides, at this moment, everyone was thinking of killing the Siberian tiger to offset the cost of Maolvzi’s donkey!

Li Yunfeng ambled along for over an hour.

Finally, he caught up with the group. At this point, the group had just surrounded the Siberian tiger.

For a moment, they didn’t know how to proceed.

The most valuable parts of a Siberian tiger were three things: tiger bones, tiger skin, and tiger penis!

Things like tiger meat were not valuable at all.

Those who bought tigers only bought these three things.

The remaining tiger meat was sold to restaurants and so on.

“Yunfeng is here!”

“We’re discussing how to kill this tiger.”

“If we use guns, we might damage the tiger skin, and then it won’t be worth much.”

Seeing Li Yunfeng approach, Erlengzi came to Li Yunfeng’s side with a smile.

“There’s no other way; we can only have the best shot.”

“Then use the gun to shoot the tiger in the eyes.”

“Otherwise, the damage will be greater!”

Li Yunfeng thought for a moment and could only come up with this method.

In those days, if you killed a tiger, the supply and marketing cooperative would give rewards.

Tigers were not protected animals yet, and because they ate people, they were even officially rewarded. It even gave rise to “tiger-fighting heroes.”

Many people in the south used bows and arrows and specially made poisons to hunt tigers.

The main reason for using bows and arrows was to keep the tiger’s fur as intact as possible.

Wearing a tiger skin coat was quite stylish!

The crowd thought about it and felt that Li Yunfeng’s idea was very correct.

Then, they sent out a man in his forties with a full beard.

“This is the best shot in our village; he’s also someone who survived the Peninsula War.”

“We all call him Zheng Laoqi!”

“It’s not because he has seven children.”

“It’s because this Zheng Laoqi killed seven people on the peninsula and came back.”

“At that time, the officials even sent him many rewards.”

Maolvzi introduced Zheng Laoqi to Li Yunfeng from the side.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Sure enough, with two shots, Zheng Laoqi’s gun hit the tiger’s eyes.

The tiger struggled for a while and then lay on the ground.

After twitching for a bit, it became still.

“Let’s go, let’s go back and butcher the tiger meat and donkey meat.”

Seeing the tiger lying in a pool of blood, everyone lifted the tiger and Maolvzi and walked back to the village.

The tiger had been chased for over an hour, and its stamina was almost depleted.

It was killed without much struggle.

If the tiger had struggled, it might have died even more tragically.

After all, there were more than twenty people and more than twenty guns.

Maolvzi, Erlengzi, Li Yunfeng, and the others were all injured and not fully recovered.

So, Li Yunfeng and the other two weren’t asked to help carry things.

Staggering along, Li Yunfeng suddenly remembered the two bear paws he had left behind after seeing the Siberian tiger.

He had to cook the bear paws tonight.

“By the way, Brother Donkey, who here makes the best bear paws?”

“I still have two bear paws from the black bear we killed last time!”
