461: Chapter 459 Roaring Tiger in the Forest 461: Chapter 459 Roaring Tiger in the Forest And facing everyone’s questions, Chen Yang couldn’t just ignore them; he had to tell the truth.
“The tiger was confird by Heipi.
Last night, he led a team up the mountain to check and found many tiger pawprints.
Also, a few days ago in Shangshan Village, a cow was attacked by a wild beast, so there’s definitely a tiger roaming the mountain.
Everyone, when you go back to sleep tonight, be sure to lock your doors tightly to avoid any accidents,”
Chen Yang said earnestly.
“So that’s what happened.
What about the town authorities?
When will soone co?
We’ve still got to work and farm,”
soone in the crowd asked again.
Chen Yang looked at the person and replied truthfully, “The town doesn’t have the right people to deal with this; we can only report it.
I estimate people from the city will co down tomorrow, and the matter should be resolved the day after.”
Upon hearing what Chen Yang said, the crowd imdiately started to discuss among themselves.
So were nervous, so didn’t care, even thinking it was a good thing—they could rest at ho for a few days without having to do anything.
Seeing everyone gathered together outside discussing, with no intention of dispersing soon, Wu Kexin couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
“Everybody, let’s not discuss this further.
It’s better to go ho and stay inside, lock your doors and windows.
If the tiger enters the village, it won’t be a small matter.
Everyone, please be cautious,”
Wu Kexin called out loudly as a reminder.
The forrly buzzing crowd finally ca to their senses.
“Village Chief Wu is right; let’s all head ho.
Tigers coming down from the mountain are extrely dangerous.
We need to take this seriously,”
“Let’s go ho; it’s safer to walk together.
Go cuddle up with your wives and kids and have a good sleep.
Better not go out these next few days.”
Wu Kexin’s reminder turned out to be very effective.
Suddenly, everyone was ready to disperse and head to their hos.
But just at this mont, a huge roar of a tiger ca from the mountains behind!
There’s an old saying: ‘When the tiger roars, the whole forest shakes.’ And it was utterly true.
The massive roar of the tiger, bursting forth like thunder, exploded in everyone’s ears!
The crowd that had just been laughing and talking instantly changed their expressions.
After being stunned for a second or two, they ran frantically towards the surrounding buildings, as if the tiger was already upon them.
anwhile, Chen Yang in the backyard was startled by the roar of the tiger, then quickly ca to his senses and dashed to the backyard gate, opening it wide.
“Run!
Run to your hos!”
Chen Yang bellowed anxiously, signaling people to co his way.
The panic-stricken crowd, desperate for shelter, noticed Chen Yang and ran towards his backyard, while those who didn’t see him frantically searched for houses to hide in.
There were even a few so panicked they scurried up the nearby trees like monkeys.
In just about a minute, the crowd that had been gathered outside all found places to hide.
Out of the three hundred or so people, at least a hundred entered Chen Yang’s backyard, while others climbed trees or filled up nearby houses, within sight of each other.
Those who had taken shelter in the houses were still in shock.
Chen Yang, seeing that nearly everyone outside had hidden themselves, quickly closed the backyard gate.
He then hurriedly found the three won.
The three ladies had been in the courtyard the entire ti but were still badly frightened by the tiger’s roar, their bodies going limp.
Had they not supported each other, they might have collapsed.
“Wuwuwu, Chen Yang, what should we do…
the tiger is really coming,” Yang Ruoxi was so scared that she imdiately burst into tears upon hearing the roar.
Seeing Chen Yang approach, she clung to him tightly.
Chen Yang, holding Yang Ruoxi, consoled her, “It’s okay, the walls of our backyard are high; the tiger can’t get in.
It’s safe here.”
Only after hearing these words did Yang Ruoxi let go of Chen Yang.
Once Yang Ruoxi let go, Chen Yang imdiately looked towards Li Han and Wu Kexin, wanting the three won to enter the house, so they would be less scared.
Upon hearing this, the three won nodded repeatedly, agreeing to do so.
After that, Chen Yang led them back to the inner room.
Once he had settled the three won properly, Chen Yang turned to go back out, but the frightened Yang Ruoxi clutched onto him, unwilling to let him leave.
“Chen Yang…
don’t go out, please stay at ho with us; we are scared,” Yang Ruoxi said, her face pale with fear.
Upon hearing this, Wu Kexin and Li Han also hurriedly nodded, indicating they didn’t want Chen Yang to leave either.
With Chen Yang here, their sense of security would be greatly increased.
But with so many people still in the backyard, how could Chen Yang just hide at ho?
“That won’t do.
There are so many people outside that need attending to.
What does it an if we just hide at ho?”
Chen Yang said.
As the village chief, Wu Kexin naturally knew this wasn’t good, so she didn’t insist any further.
“Hmm…
You are right.
Then go and see to everyone, but rember to be careful,” Wu Kexin said.
“Mhm, don’t worry, nothing will happen.
Just stay here and rest easy,” Chen Yang nodded and then walked out of the inner room and went back to the backyard once again.
The crowd in the backyard had panicked upon hearing the tiger’s roar, but after so ti, they had gradually cald down.
However, they were still very anxious.
That was a tiger’s roar after all, not so other animal.
When so villagers saw Chen Yang coming, they imdiately gathered around, asking him what to do.
At this mont, Chen Yang instantly beca the backbone of everyone present.
“Don’t panic!
It was just a tiger’s roar.
As long as we stay indoors and don’t go out, we’ll be fine!
Even the most ferocious tiger can’t climb up and co in, right?” Chen Yang said, calming the crowd.
Yet, everyone understood the tiger couldn’t get in; what worried them now was the problem of not being able to leave.
More than a hundred people had gathered in this backyard, and there were even people in the surrounding houses and up in trees.
They couldn’t possibly just stay put like this forever.
“Yang Zi, you need to co up with a way to get everyone out.
We can’t all just stay at your house forever, can we?”
An aunt from Shangshan Village said.
“Yes, Yang Zi, Qiangzi is still at ho by himself.
I need to go back.
What will we do if the tiger really enters the village?”
Wang Auntie was also in Chen Yang’s backyard, and ntioning Qiangzi made her start crying on the spot.
When Wang Auntie spoke up, the scene imdiately beca noisy again.
Everyone started to worry about their own hos.
So had livestock at ho, so had elderly and children; they feared sothing might go wrong at ho.
Hearing these voices, Chen Yang’s brow furrowed deeply.
“Everyone, please don’t make a fuss!
Let’s clarify the situation first.
If the tiger hasn’t co this way, everyone can go back later, but the prerequisite is that we need to ensure it’s safe now,”
Chen Yang spoke loudly.
At Chen Yang’s words, the place quieted down quite a bit, making way for him to walk to the position of the backyard gate.
Chen Yang took a quick step up onto the wall and then stood at a high point to survey the surroundings.
He mainly checked the direction from where the tiger’s roar had co.
He sought to spot the tiger and confirm its location.
But after scanning the entire area around, he didn’t find any sign of it.
