Song Zidong and his group carried the tiger down the mountain. As they passed by the homes of several villagers, some of them recognized that they were carrying a large cat and came forward to follow them.

And so, their group gradually grew from a small group to a large one, including elderly people and children. Many of them were seeing this thing for the first time and were very curious.

When they arrived at the Song family's door, Hu Cuicui and Li Shi were anxiously waiting at the entrance. Seeing so many people walking towards them, Hu Cuicui and Li Shi exchanged a glance and immediately went to greet them. When they saw that the people were carrying a large cat...

They were startled. Hu Cuicui searched through the crowd until she spotted Song Zhili, and then she walked towards Song Zhili.

"Da Ya, you scared your mother to death! Thank goodness you're alright. If anything had happened to you, how could your mother live with herself!"

Hu Cuicui thought of Song Fang's request for help earlier. She originally wanted to go with her, but Song Dashan stopped her.

In the end, she had no choice but to wait anxiously at home with the others.

"Mother, Grandma, I'm fine. Look, I'm not hurt at all."

As she spoke, Song Zhili turned around in front of them to show that she was really fine.

When Hu Cuicui and Li Shi saw that Song Zhili was otherwise unharmed except for some dirt on her clothes, they were somewhat relieved.

The two women then asked Song Zhili about the big cat.

Song Zhili repeated the same explanation she had given to Song Dashan to them, and after listening, they shared the same thoughts as Song Dashan.

They were thinking that they would go to thank them the next day.

They walked into the courtyard together, and many of the bolder villagers went up to take a look at the big cat.

At this moment, Song Hai pulled Song Dashan aside and whispered something to him, to which Song Dashan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

A moment later, Song Dashan beckoned to Song Zhili, "Da Ya, we don't know how to skin and process this big cat. Go to the foot of the mountain and ask He Chengjing to come and help. Your brother knows the way, so have him take you there."

Song Zidong also heard Song Dashan's words, and he immediately emerged from the crowd, "Little sister, let's go, I'll go with you."

Song Zhili nodded and followed Song Zidong towards the foot of the mountain. Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, where there was only one house standing alone.

The two walked forward and found the door tightly closed. Song Zidong knocked gently on the door, but after waiting for a while, no one came to open it. Song Zidong bent down and looked through the crack in the door. Seeing that there was no sound inside, he turned to Song Zhili helplessly and said.

"He doesn't seem to be home. Never mind, let's go back."

"Ah."

Song Zhili responded, and the two turned to leave, but the door behind them slowly opened.

Song Zhili and Song Zidong turned around when they heard the noise. They saw He Chengjing come out from inside and asked him coldly.

"Is something wrong?"

Song Zidong didn't mind his cold tone. He turned around and walked to He Chengjing, saying politely, "It's like this, you rescued my little sister from the tiger's mouth earlier. Now that big cat is still in our house. My father asked me to ask you if you could help skin that big cat."

"Don't worry, that big cat was hunted. My dad's idea is that since the weather is hot now, it won't be able to be released easily. He plans to sell the big cat's meat in the nearby villages later. Don't worry, you'll get every penny of the money."

Fearing that He Chengjing might misunderstand, Song Zidong immediately explained that they had never intended to embezzle the money.

After Song Zidong said that he killed the big cat, his gaze was fixed on Song Zhili, which made Song Zhili feel a little uncomfortable. She glanced at him guiltily and saw that the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, which made her a little stunned.

Was he laughing just now?

"can."

"Okay, thank you for your help. Let's go now."

Upon hearing that he had agreed, Song Zidong immediately chimed in.

The three then walked back together, without saying a word the entire way.

He walked silently to Song Zhili's house. He entered the courtyard without greeting anyone. He went straight to the big cat, drew a sharp short blade from his waist, and skillfully peeled off the tiger's skin.

Do you need me to cut the meat?

Everyone was stunned by the sight of him peeling the skin, even Song Zhili was no exception. His technique was too skillful. Could he peel off the skin of a person so quickly even if they were right in front of him?

As Song Zhili thought this, she couldn't help but shudder. This person was indeed unfathomable and terrifying. She should stay away from him in the future.

Do you need me to cut the meat?

"No... no need."

This was the first time Song Dashan had ever seen such a scene, and he stammered as he answered He Chengjing's question.

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

After He Chengjing finished speaking, he put away the dagger and strode outside.

"Father, I'll go and thank him."

Seeing that he was leaving, Song Zhili chased after him.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Hearing the voice behind him, He Chengjing stopped and turned to look at Song Zhili.

"Hey, how about we make a deal? I won't tell anyone you know kung fu, but you can't tell anyone I know how to use hidden weapons either, okay?"

Song Zhili thought about it for a long time. He saw her fire the gun, and she knew he knew martial arts. It could be considered that they knew each other's secret.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

He Chengjing flashed to Song Zhili's side, grabbed her chin with one hand, and forced her to raise her head.

He was too fast; Song Zhili didn't even have time to react before he captured her.

"You wouldn't do that. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it in the woods just now. Why wait until now?"

Hearing Song Zhili say this, He Chengjing loosened his grip slightly, his gaze fixed on Song Zhili. "If you're willing to let me see that hidden weapon, I won't say anything more."

"It's not that I don't want to show you, it's just that I accidentally lost that hidden weapon in the mountains. How about I make another one next time?"

Song Zhili didn't know why he was so interested in that pistol. Naturally, she couldn't actually take it out, so she could only laugh it off.

He Chengjing lowered his eyes, finally released Song Zhili, and turned to leave.

Song Zhili felt that this person was very strange. He was so ugly and had such a bad temper. He was really a weirdo!

Thinking this, Song Zhili clenched her fist and waved it a few times behind him. When she saw him suddenly turn around and look at her, she pretended to swat a mosquito.

"Oh dear, there are so many mosquitoes."
