Listening to the old village chief's sarcastic words, Song Yan was speechless and unable to tell the truth. She could only swallow her tears of grievance in silence.

The old village chief glared at Li Chuan unhappily and said, "It's all your fault. You're not good enough and have been outdone by the people from Zhangjia Village."

After receiving a look of reproach from the old village chief for no reason, Li Chuan looked at Song Yan with resentment, as if to say, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were from Zhangjia Village?"

He got scolded and had to be trained when he returned.

Song Yan touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't mean to hide it, but he was also worried that he would be beaten if he told it.

As long as you are still a member of Zhangjia Village, no matter your surname is Zhang or Song, in the eyes of others, the village is a whole, and the villagers prosper and suffer together.

Song Yan could not distance himself from the village, let alone deny it. Otherwise, if the news got back to their village, it would be seen as him abandoning his own village in order to please the people of Xiaoli Village.

By then, their family will have no place to stand in Zhangjia Village.

Some people were not convinced and said, "It's just picking a general from among the short guys, what's so great about that?"

"You are so talkative, but why haven't I seen you go and kill a big insect?"

The man boasted, "That's because I didn't go up the mountain today. If I had gone up the mountain, I could have beaten two big insects or blind bears with one punch."

He boasted so much that everyone rolled their eyes.

As the sky gradually darkened, Uncle Li felt that it was not a good idea to continue to dwell on it. He turned to the old village chief and asked, "Village chief, this big insect was hunted by people from Zhangjia Village. How do you plan to deal with it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers' emotions were immediately ignited, and a crowd of people were furious: "Village chief, we must not let him take the big insect away!"

"That's right, this big insect was hunted on the hilltop of our Xiaoli Village, so it should belong to our village!"

"Don't even think about it, the big bug is ours!"

"Get out of Xiaoli Village!"

Seeing everyone's intense reaction, Song Yan was also surprised. He didn't expect the villagers to have such bandit logic.

He turned his head and looked at the old village chief, wanting to see what he would say.

Then he heard the old village chief make a prompt decision: "Liping, Lichuan, you should rush to the county town immediately and report to the county magistrate tomorrow morning. Say that a tiger was killed in our little Li village."

Well, he shouldn't have counted on the old village chief.

The old village chief obviously wanted to attribute the credit of killing the tiger to Xiaoli Village, so he naturally couldn't let Song Yan go back to inform the village.

He pretended to be kind and said, "Please stay in our village tonight. I will take you back tomorrow."

Song Yan looked embarrassed and said, "My brother and sister-in-law are still waiting for me. If I go back late, I'm afraid they will be worried."

The old village chief waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "I'll send someone back to inform them."

Song Yan said kindly: "My brothers and sisters are still young, and I really can't bear to leave them alone."

Others shouted, "Village Chief, why waste time talking to him? Why not just arrest him directly?"

"That's it, tie him up!"

There was a burst of noise in her ears, and Song Yan felt dizzy.

Father Shu patted him on the shoulder, then stood up and said loudly: "Village Chief, Xiao Song is a guest of my family. You want to detain him without even asking for my permission. I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

The old village chief looked unhappy. He forced a smile and said, "I am inviting you to stay in the village as a guest. How can you say that I am being stingy?"

Song Yan also got angry after hearing these shameless words. He had been speaking in a nice voice, but the other party treated him like a soft persimmon.

He frowned and said in a tough tone: "Village Chief Li, I have not committed any crime and I have helped your village get rid of the evil tiger. Yet you want to detain me. This is not only against the law, but also ungrateful."

His words were so powerful that the old village chief was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and even spoke incoherently: "You!"

The villagers who were watching also cast angry glances.

Song Yan was not afraid at all. His voice was firm and clear: "Am I wrong? Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"

The old village chief laughed in anger: "Good, very good, young man, you are really brave. It seems that you have never suffered any loss at such a young age."

Song Yan felt a little timid, but he still straightened his back and said calmly, "Village Chief Li, it's useless for you to threaten me. I would say the same thing even in front of the county magistrate."

"I have shed blood and suffered injuries for Xiaoli Village, but you have joined forces to oppress me, a hero who has been fighting against harm for the people, just for your own fame. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid your village's reputation will also be damaged."

When the old village chief heard this, he thought to himself that something was wrong. He didn't expect that this kid was so good at talking and even threatened him.

Song Yan is not afraid of those who wear shoes when she is barefoot, but the old village chief obviously has more concerns.

If their reputation is ruined, no girl from other villages would dare to marry into their village in the future.

After a tense standoff, the old village chief finally gave in: "You can go, but you can't take the big insect with you."

Others said anxiously: "Village Chief, you must not do that."

What if he goes back and informs us?

The old village chief had obviously considered this, and he added, "Haozi, send him back to Zhangjia Village and keep an eye on him. Don't let him talk nonsense."

Haozi didn't expect the village chief to assign him a job. What does this mean? It means that the village chief values ​​him.

He pounded his chest and said quickly, "I promise not to let him leak a single word."

The old village chief continued to instruct the others: "Come and carry the tiger to the ancestral temple, and wait for the officials to come and take a look."

A group of people gathered around and carried the tiger away in a noisy manner.

Song Yan watched them carry the tiger away and could do nothing. After all, he was on someone else's territory and his bare hands could not defeat four punches. He had to bow his head when necessary.

Wait until the government comes tomorrow and then find a way to get it back.

After the matter came to an end, Shu Changyu tilted his head and said to his father: "I'll go back and change my clothes first."

Shu's father knew that he liked to be clean, and seeing that his clothes were covered with mud and blood, he probably reached the limit of his patience.

"Go quickly, your sister-in-law has boiled some hot water, go back and take a good shower."

Song Yan saw him turn around, clenched her fist and waved at his back.

Bad guy, I was trying to be a shield for him with good intentions, but he actually stabbed me in the back.

If it weren't for the fact that he had saved his life several times before, he would have almost been unable to hold back and told the truth.

Father Shu couldn't help laughing when he saw his childish behavior.

He said embarrassedly: "Changyu has been spoiled by us and has a bad temper. Please don't take it to heart."

Song Yan snorted: "I won't argue with a little girl."

When he mentioned the word "little girl", he deliberately emphasized the tone.

Mr. Shu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, Chang Yu didn't hear it, otherwise he might have lost his temper on the spot.

"Uncle Shu, did he, did I say Shu Changyu has always had such a bad personality?"

Father Shu's eyes flashed with nostalgia, and he smiled and said, "That's not the case. Changyu was a very good child when he was young..."

At sunset, Shu Changwen returned to the village. As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a commotion in front of him.

After he entered the yard, he asked, "Ah Xian, what's going on over there? It's so lively."
