Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 97 Banquet
After a downpour, the temperature dropped as if by an invisible hand, like a cliff. People were worried about repeating the same fate and experiencing the chilling cold weather of last year, so coal sales rose sharply. Fortunately, Jing Yao had prepared for the rainy day and had already stockpiled a large amount of inventory in advance, otherwise there would have been panic buying.
The villagers, who were originally immersed in the joy of the harvest, now showed a trace of worry on their faces. They couldn't help but worry: Will the future days be so unpredictable?
The village head held the old yellowed calendar, frowning and anxious. Now he looked through it again and found that many dates did not match the actual extreme climate. Looking at the sky, he felt that it would snow soon. However, no one knew when the snowstorm would come. Everyone was actively preparing supplies, hoping to survive this cold winter.
In recent days, a depressing atmosphere has permeated the village. Villagers are silently moving their household items, and the laughter and joy of the past are gradually disappearing.
Jing Yao took the initiative to suggest: "Why don't we go up the mountain to hunt some game and hold a banquet to celebrate the autumn harvest! We don't know when it will snow. Once it snows, everyone will stay at home. We may not have the chance to get together again this year!"
This suggestion was unanimously agreed by everyone. So, the next morning, before it was completely bright, Jing Yao led more than 20 people from the village on a journey to Xishan. They crossed the mountains and forests, climbed the steep mountains, and finally reached their destination.
The sun gradually rose, blowing away the morning mist and slowly rising into the sky. The sunlight shone on more than 20 figures, leaving mottled shadows along the way.
Xishan is a place full of life and abundant wild animals, making it an ideal place for hunting and safari. Jing Yao skillfully drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the mountain deer that was leisurely emerging from the leaves in front of him and running. He took a deep breath, loosened his fingers, and the arrow flew out like lightning, hitting the target accurately. The heavy object in front of him fell to the ground.
"A Yao's archery skills are really amazing!" The villagers on the side were full of praise.
Jing Yao responded with a smile and walked to the prey with several other villagers. Together, they tied the prey, which was still trembling but not long for death, to the cart.
Time passed quickly, and after an hour, everyone had a great harvest. Not only did they have common prey such as mountain deer, roe deer, pheasants, and hares, but they also had two large wild boars weighing several hundred kilograms. This surprised the villagers.
Jing Yao touched the wild boar's bristles and said excitedly, "I'm so lucky today! The pigs on our farm are almost gone, so it's just right to take some back for soup."
Luo Guangren looked at the wild boar in front of him with admiration on his face: "This big black pig must be at least several hundred kilograms, right? Normally when I encounter this kind of wild boar in the mountains, I would run away! If you are accidentally hit by it, it is hard to say whether you can survive. Even if you survive, you will have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month."
Jing Yao smiled and replied: "I only have the courage to do this because I am good at archery. Besides, there are so many of us, it should be that it is afraid of us instead of us being afraid of it."
Luo Guangren sighed and said, "Ayao, stop joking. Even if I didn't have so many people around me, I wouldn't dare to provoke such a big wild boar. Let's go home quickly."
Jing Yao nodded: "It is indeed time to go back, let's gather everyone."
At this moment, a person came running from a distance below him, and when he arrived in front of them he was already panting and unable to speak.
Jing Yao and Luo Guangren looked at each other, "What happened?"
The man finally caught his breath and said, "There's a big bug!"
"tiger!!!"
“——Wenzhou, let’s go!”
It was a warm voice.
Through the treetops, the wind brought urgent calls.
Jing Yao's heart trembled, and he ran towards the source of the sound. Soon, he saw Wenzhou, Wen Zhong, and a huge tiger with black and yellow eyes. The "king" pattern on its forehead looked mighty and brave. It opened its mouth and roared, the sound shook the sky, and its sharp white teeth stood out like steel needles.
Wenzhou's face was pale, he tightly grasped the bow and arrow in his hand, his palms were full of sweat. Wenzhong also hid behind a big tree with a terrified face, his eyes fixed on the tiger.
Seeing this, Jing Yao hurried forward to help the two men up, and immediately asked Wenzhou and Wenzhong to hide, while he picked up a bow and arrow to shoot the tiger. He aimed at the tiger's vital parts and shot an arrow, but the tiger dodged it swiftly. The tiger roared angrily and pounced on them again.
Seeing this, Jing Yao quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow, trying to stop the tiger's attack. However, the tiger was so fast that the arrow missed. At this moment, the tiger suddenly jumped and pounced on Jing Yao.
Jing Yao had no time to dodge, so he had to use his bow and arrow to block the tiger's claws. But the tiger was too strong and knocked Jing Yao to the ground. Jing Yao took the opportunity to roll over and avoid being bitten by the tiger.
The tiger was chasing him relentlessly, and Jing Yao kept dodging its attacks. Suddenly, he found a big tree in front of him, so he quickly climbed up the tree and temporarily avoided the tiger's pursuit.
The tiger was lingering under the tree and refused to leave. Jing Yao knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death, and he had to find a way to get rid of the tiger. He looked around and found a trap not far away.
Jing Yao came up with a plan. He came down from the tree and carefully led the tiger towards the trap. The tiger followed closely all the way, completely unaware of the danger that was about to come. When the tiger got close to the trap, Jing Yao pushed it hard and pushed the tiger into the trap.
After the tiger fell into the trap, it kept struggling. Jing Yao drew his bow and shot an arrow. This time, the tiger, which had nowhere to escape, finally fell to the ground under his arrow, trembling all over, and its breath gradually disappeared.
Wenzhou and Wenzhong breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the tiger was subdued.
"It's so scary that there are tigers in this mountain." A man looked at the tiger lying on the ground with an expression of fear and surprise on his face.
"Xiaozhou, you really escaped from the jaws of death." Another person patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Brother Chong, thank you for what you did just now." Wenzhou looked at Wen Chong gratefully, his eyes full of gratitude.
"This big tiger is our catch today. If we take it back, it will scare the tribe elders away." Luo Guangren said with a smile, his heart filled with joy.
A group of people gathered around the tiger's body and talked about it. It turned out that the two of them were hunting here, but suddenly encountered this ferocious tiger. Wenzhou wanted to shoot the tiger to death, but he didn't expect the tiger to pounce on them.
"I——" Wenzhong spat out a mouthful of red blood. Everyone was shocked and shouted, "Dazhong, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Zhong coughed a few times to spit out the blood, wiped it casually with his sleeve, and waved his hand, "It's okay, I was just hit on the chest by the tiger, and I felt a little short of breath. I feel much better after spitting out the blood."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Jing Yao said: "In that case, let's go back quickly. It's not safe here."
So everyone started to pack up and prepare to return to the village. They lifted the tiger they had hunted and carefully placed it on a cart, and then set off on their journey together.
Along the way, they laughed and talked about this thrilling experience.
After Jing Yao left, Wen Qun finished his breakfast and began to clean every corner of the house. He wiped the furniture, sorted out the things, and put every room in order. Finally, he opened the windows to ventilate and let the fresh air fill the whole house. After finishing these housework, he went out with satisfaction and went to the threshing ground.
The village is going to hold a grand banquet tonight. The news makes the whole village excited, and everyone is busy preparing for the evening banquet.
"They are back!" Suddenly, a cry broke the silence.
Wen Qunhe stopped what he was doing and turned to look in the direction where the sound came from.
"They brought back a tiger..." exclamations came from the crowd.
"A Yao is extremely brave. He captured a tiger by himself." another person said excitedly.
"That's a tiger, so majestic!" people exclaimed in admiration.
"——If I had known earlier, I would have gone with them and become a tiger-fighting hero!" someone said regretfully.
"You're just dreaming! You'll be scared to death if you see a tiger." The person next to him laughed.
......Wen Qunhe listened to the noisy discussions and when he heard the word "tiger", his heart tightened. When he learned that Jing Yao had fought a giant tiger alone, he felt dizzy. He quickened his pace without hesitation and followed the crowd to greet the people who had returned from hunting in the mountains.
The dead tiger was carried in by several people. This tiger stole the limelight from all the other prey. The crowd all gathered around the giant tiger's body to admire it.
"Yellow and black, what a beautiful tiger."
"The markings on its head are so scary..."
"Look at these teeth, they can break my bones..."
"Are there any casualties among such terrifying tigers?"
"No one was killed. Two of us were slightly injured while catching the tiger. Fortunately, A Yao was there, otherwise it would have been dangerous this time."
Everyone else was gathered around the giant tiger corpse and talking about it, but Wen Qunhe immediately spotted the man who was standing aside and giving orders. There were several holes as big as bowls torn on his clothes, and his shirt and skirt were stained with blood, which looked shocking.
Wen Qunhe was so frightened by the shocking color that his heart stopped for a moment. When he walked to Jing Yao's side, he was scared and panicked, and tears flowed uncontrollably. He asked in a trembling voice: "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Jing Yao suddenly saw his red eyes, his heart tightened, and he smiled softly: "I'm fine, it's all tiger blood."
Wen Qun said anxiously: "You said you were fine, but look at your face, it's all blood."
The dried black bloodstains on the fair face were frightening to look at.
"Is there still blood?" Jing Yao raised his hand and tried to wipe it casually with his sleeve. Wen Qun hurriedly stopped him, snatched the water bottle from his waist, wet the silk handkerchief and helped him gently wipe off the blood.
Wen Qun took the other person's hand and said softly, "Don't do this next time."
Jing Yao was puzzled: "What do you want?"
"Don't fight such ferocious beasts again. I will be worried if you take risks like this." Wen Qunhe looked at him with her round eyes as if they were filled with water.
Jing Yao uttered an "Oh" and couldn't help but raised his right hand to touch Wen Qun's head, "I know."
Jing Yao looked at the man in front of him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He gently patted Wen Qun's shoulder, indicating that he understood what he meant.
At this time, Wen Qun was also relieved by Jing Yao's response. His originally nervous heart slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
The atmosphere between the two became relaxed, and Jing Yao began to tell Wen Qun about the fight with the tiger just now. Wen Qun listened with great interest, exclaiming from time to time.
At this moment, they forgot everything around them and immersed themselves in each other's world. Jing Yao discovered that sharing the little things in life with others was also a kind of happiness.
After being groomed by Wen Qun, Jing Yao looked brand new. He put on a handsome black robe with delicate embroidery and a leather belt around his waist, which made him look more heroic and elegant.
They came to a very busy street, where many small stalls had been built, just like modern snack streets. There were fixed stalls and movable carts. Steamers were neatly placed on the stove, steaming, and the steamed food exuded waves of tempting aroma.
In the large oil pan next to it, the oil was boiling, and golden meatballs were being fried. The meatballs were coated with a thin layer of cornstarch and were jumping happily in the hot oil, as if showing people how delicious they were. When the fried meatballs were picked up, their crispy appearance made people salivate.
Finally, sprinkle a light layer of secret barbecue seasoning on the fried meatballs. The unique spicy taste can not only dissolve the greasiness brought by frying, but also make the taste of the meatballs more tempting. Every bite is irresistible and makes people drool.
The tables on the street were already filled with rich delicacies, all of which were made from the game that was hunted today. There was a wide variety of meat dishes, and the aroma was overflowing, making people intoxicated. These dishes were not only delicious in color, aroma and taste, but also beautifully shaped, giving people a visual enjoyment.
Jing Yao stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "Everyone, please be quiet!"
As his voice rang out, the originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down and turned to look at him.
Jing Yao nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Now please welcome our village head to speak."
After saying that, Jing Yao took the lead in applauding, and everyone followed suit.
Li Zheng stood up with a smile, picked up a bowl of wine and walked to the open space nearby. After looking around, he said, "Fellow villagers, it is not easy for us to gather together today. Our village has gone through many ups and downs to have its current appearance, which is inseparable from the hard work of everyone. I hope everyone can enjoy the food and wine tonight and celebrate this wonderful moment together. At the same time, I would like to thank all the villagers. It is you who make our village better and better."
The village head paused and continued, "We have a bumper harvest this year, and we will have an equally bumper harvest next year. Don't be polite, everyone, drink to your heart's content!"
Then, the head of the village raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The people present also responded, holding up their glasses or bowls and shouting in unison: "Cheers!"
Jing Yao and Wen Qunhe were no exception. They raised the cups in their hands, clinked them lightly, then squinted their eyes and took a sip.
At this time, the bonfire was burning, lighting up the whole place. People were laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful. Everyone sat together, sharing each other's stories and joy. Some people talked about their thrilling experiences when they went hunting in the mountains today, and others showed off their fruitful results.
In this joyful atmosphere, people forget all their worries and immerse themselves in happiness and satisfaction.
