The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

At dawn the next day, a group of people sprinkled the medicine made by Xu Yu and Dr. Huang yesterday to prevent all kinds of animals from approaching the cave at the entrance and nearby areas, and then returned with the herbs and a small amount of valuable goods and meat placed under the herbs.

After another day of trekking through mountains and rivers, we finally got out of the mountains at night.

As soon as they arrived at the exit of the deep mountains, they saw Jiang Qingyun and his wife, three members of the Xu family, and Jiang Yi's two comrades-in-arms already waiting there.

The men hurried over and took some of the things and carried them on their backs or shoulders.

Zhang Hongmei and Yang Wenhui simultaneously pulled Xu Yu and checked her body carefully. They both breathed a sigh of relief after finding that she was not injured at all.

The group of people did not rest and continued to walk outside.

Xu Yu and the others told a few people what had happened in the mountains in the past few days.

Jiang Yi focused on the group of people who went to the mountains to hunt tigers.

When they heard that most of these people had died in there, they all sighed.

Jiang Qingyun sighed, "These people usually idle around the village, eating and doing nothing. I never thought they were so bold as to go deep into the mountains and hunt tigers, causing the animals to riot. Many of them have families, and I wonder how sad their families would be if they knew they died at the hands of tigers."

Xu Jianping, however, felt no sympathy for these people: "It's precisely because they're idle and lazy that they keep trying to take shortcuts. Before they go in, they should be prepared to never get out."

Only Xu Kui, the village chief, thought more than them:

"There are so many missing people this time, it's bound to attract attention from all the villages. Xiao Jiang, you who went into the mountains, you must keep your story straight. If anyone asks, just say you didn't see them. If it's true, as Xiao Jiang says, that one person has come out alive, everyone should be careful. That person could kill everyone they went into the mountains with for money. Their thinking is already very dangerous, and I'm afraid they'll become a pest in the village just for money."

Everyone agreed with this.

So we had a good chat about paying attention to details.

After saying this, Xu Kui also asked about the beam raising at Jiang Yi's house tomorrow.

Here, the day of raising the beam is not important, but a good time of the day must be chosen, and firecrackers must be set off.

Because they were delayed for a day, Jiang Yi and the others would have to check the time again when they returned tonight, but it would basically be in the morning and noon.

The two elders talked about some things to pay attention to when putting up the beam.

After they finished talking, Xu Yu talked about the tiger baby.

When they heard that Xu Yu and the others had rescued the tiger cub, they were frightened and felt pity for the tiger cub.

Especially the two middle-aged women, both of whom were mothers, their eyes immediately became red.

"Poor thing, he lost his mother before his due date. How can he support himself?"

"You have to raise it carefully, otherwise it will be difficult to keep it alive."

Looking at the little one in Xu Yu's backpack, the two mothers took the baby out out of heartache, and each of them carried the baby for a distance. When the baby was drinking goat milk, they were also responsible for feeding it.

They were much more skilled in feeding the tiger cubs than the novices like Xu Yu.

When the two learned that they had to place the tiger cub with Dr. Huang to feed it first, they asked directly:

"Doctor Huang, can you feed such a small tiger cub?"

"Doctor Huang, do you have time to look at it all the time?"

Doctor Huang simply stopped talking.

He couldn't promise them anything about that.

Zhang Hongmei and Yang Wenhui looked at each other.

Zhang Hongmei said, "Why don't we feed it ourselves? We just need to try not to be seen. Even if someone sees us, we can just say it's a cat we brought here, and no one will suspect anything."

Yang Wenhui agreed: "It's so young, not even ready to be born yet. If we don't take good care of it, it will definitely not survive. Since Xiaoyu promised Tiger Mother that she would help her raise her cub, we must be responsible."

Xu Yu felt that what they said was very right. After thinking about it, he said, "How about this? We've brought two ewes back with us anyway. When the time comes, we can say that we caught them from the flock and drink their milk. I just wanted a cat, and this kitten must have lost its mother and followed the flock, so we can just bring it back."

Then he added, "Of course, it's best not to let anyone see it."

After saying that, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi thought about it and said, "Let Dingdang guard it, and others dare not approach it."

Jiang Qingyun continued, "I just don't know if Dingdang and Little Tiger can stay together."

Yang Wenhui has great faith in their pet Dingdang: "Why not? Dingdang understands us. Let's have a good chat with him. He will definitely protect the tiger cub."

Xu Yu agreed: "Aunt Yang is right. Dingdang is spiritual, and the tigress is also spiritual. We take good care of the tiger cub, and it will definitely be spiritual when it grows up."

Doctor Huang also said at this time: "I really don't know how to take care of such a small tiger. It's impossible for me to remember when to feed it. If you feel at ease leaving it with me, I don't mind."

His words made everyone even more worried.

So in the end, we decided to take him back to Jiang Yi's house. As long as Dingdang is watching over him, no one will dare to approach him.

The group discussed these things, and when they reached the outermost mountain, they stopped to rest.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, everyone divided up the things they brought out. All the medicinal herbs were packed together, totaling six baskets, more than a dozen sacks, and more than a dozen backpacks.

When they went into the mountains, the eleven men all carried baskets, sacks and backpacks, but Xu Yu and Doctor Huang only carried backpacks.

All that was left were various meats and valuables.

There was a bunch of meat and several sacks left for eating. Jiang Yi gave some of the meat to the Xu family, and the rest of the meat, the sheep and the old baby were taken directly to Jiang Yi's house.

Jiang Yi did not hide from the Xu family that he was going to sell most of these valuable things, and asked Xu Jianping to go into the mountains with them to get the rest, and then they would share the money from the sales.

The Xu family felt both warm and embarrassed, after all, these were all obtained by him and his comrades.

Jiang Yi said, "What we lack are people who can produce these things. The more people we have, the more we can produce."

His comrades agreed.

The Xu family members then agreed with a smile. If it weren't for the purpose of not attracting other people's attention, Xu Kui would have wanted to go with them.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yi and a few comrades delivered the medicinal herbs back to Xu Yu's home, and Jiang Qingyun and his group went back first.

When they left, Zhang Hongmei couldn't help but touch the little tiger.

Yang Wenhui said, "Sister Zhang, you can come and see Tiger Baby every day. If you don't have time, you can ask Xiaoyu to take him home at night."

Zhang Hongmei smiled and shook her head: "I'll go see it when I have time. Don't be too ostentatious."

After saying goodbye, the group walked in two directions.

When Xu Yu and his friends returned home, the people from their uncles, aunts, and other relatives who lived nearby were still awake. They all came out when they heard the noise.

I was stunned when I saw them carrying baskets, backpacks and sacks.

"No wonder you've been in the mountains for so many days. You must have collected too many herbs."

Xu Yu smiled and said, "It's too scary in the deep mountains. There are poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts everywhere. Fortunately, we are many people, otherwise we would not dare to go deep into the mountains. The fruits we collected this time will last for a long time. We should go in less often if possible."

Everyone agreed.

But when I saw that they still had a large basket of meat, I was shocked again.

Xu Yu said, "Brother Yi and his brothers hunted some wild game."

When he came back, Xu Kui said that he would give some to each family, and Xu Yu and Jiang Yi would definitely not object.

After receiving the meat, several families were so happy that their faces lit up with joy.

Xu Kui said to them, "When someone asks you about this, don't tell them anything. Just say that Xiaoyu and the others only picked herbs."

Everyone understands.

After all, it’s rare for everyone to eat meat. Wouldn’t Xu Yu’s family be envied by others if they suddenly had so much meat?

After distributing the meat to several families, everyone returned to Xu Yu's house.

Xu Kui also talked about it with the two elders specifically.

Although the two elders like to show off, they also know not to bring bad luck to their third son's family, and they will definitely keep their mouths shut when necessary.

After Jiang Yi and his friends finished their meal at Xu's house, Jiang Yi had to go to town tonight to arrange for the things he brought back to be shipped out, so the Xu family did not let them stay any longer to rest.

When Jiang Yi left, Xu Yu said to him, "Brother Yi, try to rest early tonight, and don't get up too early tomorrow morning. Get a few more hours of sleep."

She knew that he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days and was worried that his body couldn't take it.

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "You should also go to bed early."

Then he even added: "I'll pick you up tomorrow at noon."

Hearing this, everyone else laughed knowingly.

Just as Xu Yu was about to curl up the corners of his lips, he heard Xu Jianping jokingly saying, "It's best if you come to pick her up. I'm afraid she'll get into another fight halfway through. I'll feel more at ease if you keep an eye on her."

Xu Yu: “…”
