Chapter 9 The Surprised Magistrate
"Brother Wu doesn't have to be like this."
Lin Xuan stood up and returned the greeting: "It's getting late, let's hurry down the mountain and spend the night in the town ahead."
The tiger's blow to him was not serious.
After the upgrade, it's basically no big deal.
It's almost time to rest now, and it's really time to go.
There is tiger blood everywhere, it’s fishy and smelly, and there are a lot of flies and mosquitoes...
It's hard to stay here.
"Okay! A certain family is going to Qinghe Town and would like to go with you two."
Wu Song was overjoyed and said quickly.
Originally, he was a little uncomfortable with Lin Xuan's scholarly appearance.
But now, people use a butcher knife to disembowel a big tiger...
What a heroic man!
Thinking of this, Wu Song couldn't help but be fascinated, and immediately had the idea of making friends.
"Both of us brothers are indeed not familiar with the road here, so please ask Brother Wu to lead the way."
Lin Xuan walked up to Huang Rong, turned around, gently held the girl's thigh, and carried her on his back.
Lin Xuan is now a junior warrior who can rival Dayang Ma.
Even if you carry an old sow on your back, it's no problem.
The little girl Huang Rong has a light body, she might not weigh more than ninety pounds.
Carrying it on the back is even more comfortable and effortless.
"Um……"
Huang Rong seemed a little shy, lying gently on Lin Xuan's back and covering her face with a broken hat.
"Take this evil beast down the mountain as well and make it a witness."
Wu Song looked left and right, suddenly shouted loudly, lifted the tiger corpse with both hands, and carried it on his shoulders.
"..."
Huang Rong swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously, feeling a little shocked.
"Second brother is indeed amazingly powerful. Thank you for helping me."
Lin Xuan also jumped his eyelids and complimented.
This tiger weighs at least five hundred kilograms, and can carry five or six yellow rongs on its head.
This Wu Song didn't know internal strength, but he was able to carry it easily.
It can only be said that he is born with divine power.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin is too polite."
Wu Song felt very happy after hearing this, and walked as fast as flying, leading the way.
There was no second tiger on the road.
After walking for several miles on the mountain road without any danger, Lin Xuan felt that his eyes suddenly widened, and a spacious road down the mountain appeared.
But I saw that there were dozens of torches under the ridge, and at least a hundred people gathered there.
"Who are you? How did you get here?"
"You are lucky. There is an extremely powerful insect on Jingyang Gang. Anyone who passes by it will be killed or alive."
"Now that we're here, let's stay for the time being and work with everyone to use our strength to surround and kill the big insect."
Seeing Lin Xuan and Wu Song from a distance, several people shouted loudly.
"Leave a bird behind!"
Wu Song laughed loudly: "That big insect has been disemboweled by my brother Lin. If you want to surround and kill it, I'm afraid you will go to the underworld."
"Nonsense, that big insect is extremely ferocious, how could it die so easily?"
"Wait a minute! What's on your back?"
"Fuck! Oh my god!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw Wu Song approaching, and the first few people were so frightened that they backed away.
"This big insect is completely dead, but you are still afraid of a bird and don't have any courage!"
Wu Song looked disdainful and shouted: "Who is your leader? Come out and talk."
This time Wu Song was a little angry, and his voice was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
"Yes, yes, our county magistrate is here too. Wait a moment, good man."
The leader of the group trembled, finally realized what was going on, and quickly sent someone down to report.
A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing official robes was seen walking quickly, surrounded by several sergeants.
"I'll come down first..."
Seeing that there were more people around, Huang Rong felt a little embarrassed and quickly slid off Lin Xuan's back.
"My surname is Chen, and I have been appointed as the magistrate of Yanggu County. I wonder... I wonder if what the hero just said is true?"
The magistrate looked at Lin Xuan and Wu Song, who was carrying the tiger, and shrank his neck slightly, his tone was extremely polite.
These days, the county magistrate actually has quite a lot of power.
As the saying goes, "The magistrate who destroys the family will destroy the county magistrate."
A few words from a county magistrate are like a huge mountain to ordinary people.
But, that's only for ordinary people.
Looking at Wu Song carrying the big tiger, he looked like a god descending to earth.
Chen Zhixian felt some cramps in his calves.
He quickly put away his official authority and appeared amiable and approachable.
"That's right. I, Brother Lin, killed this big insect with my own hands. Just ask the Lord of the County."
Seeing that the magistrate had a good attitude, Wu Song became polite and put down the big insect.
Having said that, this thing is quite heavy.
Although Wu Song had amazing powers, he was still a little tired after carrying it for several miles.
"It turns out that Mr. Lin killed this big insect. May I ask how it happened."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate quickly bowed his hands to Lin Xuan and asked for advice.
"My surname is Lin. I am currently traveling around to study and have no merit. This brother Huang Long Huang is my sworn brother."
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand to support Huang Rong: "We were passing through your land just now and encountered a big insect. We wanted to get rid of the harm to the people, so we fought to the death. Fortunately, with the blessing of the Holy One, we were lucky enough to kill it."
"Hmm, here's what happened. When my two brothers passed by the mountain temple..."
Huang Rong rested all the way and regained a lot of strength. Then Lin Xuan recounted what happened.
She was sharp-tongued, as if she were telling a story. In just a few words, she described the process of beating the tiger in a brilliant way.
It was even too brilliant...
Lin Xuan listened to it from the side and felt that it was not him who was talking at all.
Fortunately, it was Huang Rong who said it.
If he were to brag about it like this, it would be too self-boasting.
"It was just luck. This second brother Wu is also a hero. If he met this big tiger, he would definitely be able to kill it."
After waiting for Huang Rong to finish her performance, Lin Xuan coughed lightly and added.
Now that the tiger is dead, you can make friends with Wu Song.
Everyone carries the sedan chair, and it doesn't cost much to brag about each other's business.
"Brother Lin is too flattering."
Wu Song was really overjoyed, showing a look of looking at a confidant, and laughed.
"This... is so thrilling! Master Lin is really a god!"
After listening, County Magistrate Chen subconsciously looked at the tiger corpse, and was surprised and happy in his heart, and rubbed his hands.
A while ago, there was a tiger plague on Jingyang Ridge, which bit several passing merchants to death.
That's fine.
What's even more outrageous is that a sixth-rank general passed by here the day before yesterday, and he and his two followers were all bitten to death by the tiger.
It can be seen that the fighting power of this tiger is incredibly strong.
If this thing doesn't want to stay in Jingyang Ridge and plans to move around...
Then the villagers nearby must have become its buffet.
If something like this happens, I, the county magistrate, will be the first to bear the brunt and need to take the blame.
Not only will my future be bleak, but I will also be in big trouble.
Even if the higher-ups put me in jail in order to calm the public anger...
It's not a strange thing.
These days, County Magistrate Chen has been so worried that his white hair has increased a lot.
In desperation, he had to muster up the courage to come and command the tiger-fighting operation in person.
Now, seeing the body of this giant tiger...
County Magistrate Chen smacked his lips, and he was relieved in his heart, and was extremely grateful to Lin Xuan.
