Chapter 463 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" opens introducing characters: Qiangzi was young and nearly burst into tears on the spot when he heard about... Find out more!
Qiangzi was young and nearly burst into tears on the spot when he heard about the tiger.
His entire face turned deathly pale, looking as though he had contracted a severe illness.
âA⌠a tiger⌠Is my mom okay?â Qiangzi asked absentmindedly.
âSheâs fine, staying safe at my place,â Chen Yang responded as he had already pulled Qiangzi to the front door of his house.
He first cautiously peeked outside and, seeing no sign of the tiger, quickly ushered Qiangzi out.
Although Qiangzi was young, he could run quite fast and soon followed Chen Yang back to Chen Yangâs home.
Everyone on the building sighed in relief when they saw Chen Yang pulling Qiangzi along.
The three women were especially overjoyed.
They hurried down from the second floor, opened the roller shutter, and let Chen Yang and Qiangzi in.
As soon as the two entered, a tearful Wang Hong rushed over and embraced Qiangzi tightly.
She sobbed uncontrollably.
âAuntie Wang, donât cry, look, Qiangzi is fine, isnât he?â
Chen Yang said with a smile.
With everyone safe, the mood at the scene lightened, and they comforted Wang Hong with a few laughs.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed about crying in front of everyone, Wang Hong sniffled a few times before holding back her tears.
âYang Zi, I canât thank you enough.
If it werenât for you, the child would have been in danger.â
Wang Hong stood up, patted Qiangziâs head, âGo, give Uncle Chen Yang a kowtow.â
Understanding what was expected, Qiangzi did not hesitate and was about to kowtow to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang quickly intervened.
âNo, no, no, donât do that.
The knees of men bear gold.â
Chen Yang laughed as he stopped Qiangzi from kneeling, then joined everyone in the backyard, climbing up on the wall to check on the movements of the tiger.
âThe moment you charged out earlier, the tiger also left from here and entered the village, and now its whereabouts are unknown.â
Having climbed onto the wall, a man who had been keeping an eye on the tiger updated Chen Yang about the tigerâs recent movement.
On hearing this, Chen Yang immediately looked towards the direction of the village.
Most villagers had been alerted by Wu Kexinâs notification and were prepared.
Every householdâs doors and windows were tightly secured, so, hopefully, there wouldnât be any issues.
Thus, Chen Yang climbed back down from the wall.
But then, those staying in the backyard were faced with another issue.
The tiger surely wouldnât leave anytime soon and even if it did, no one dared to venture outside.
Were they expected to stay at Chen Yangâs house all day?
What would all these people eat?
And what about those in the trees?
Facing such complications, Chen Yang too felt a headache coming on.
It indeed was a problem.
âVillage head, have you reported the situation of the tiger entering the village to the town?
Any new instructions from them?â
Chen Yang asked, frowning, looking towards Wu Kexin.
Wu Kexinâs expression was complex as she nodded, âI have reported the situation, but the town really has no solutions; they just said they have informed the city and asked us to wait for someone to come from the city, just to hang in there today.â
Hearing this, Chen Yang felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
It looked like the village truly had to fend for itself today.
But fending for themselves meant dealing with feeding and accommodating everyone, which was a huge problem.
They surely couldnât go hungry for a whole day, could they?
With these thoughts, Chen Yangâs brow furrowed deeply as he sat down to think, trying to figure out a solution.
As Chen Yang was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
Chen Yang pulled out his phone to see it was Blackie calling.
Without hesitation, Chen Yang answered the phone immediately.
âChen Yang, I heard a tiger has entered Liuhe Village.
Is that true?â
As soon as the phone connected, the anxious voice of Heipi burst through immediately.
Chen Yang glanced nervously around at everyone and nodded in reply, âItâs true, most of the people from the mine are hiding in my house right now, and we donât know what to do.â
Then, Chen Yang carefully explained to Heipi about the tiger entering the village earlier.
When he finished speaking, Heipi on the phone suddenly became somewhat excited.
âIf the town wonât handle it, then weâll solve it ourselves!
Letâs think of a way to capture it alive!â Heipi said excitedly.
Chen Yang wasnât surprised by this remark from Heipi.
He had thought of this approach too.
But later he felt it was too risky for him alone, so he didnât act on it.
Now hearing Heipi say this, Chen Yang naturally felt a bit more encouraged.
After all, the tiger was near his house, and there were breeding farms nearby too.
If the tiger broke in there, the loss would be tremendous!
âCatch the tiger?
Do you have any good ideas?â Chen Yang asked after a silence of two or three seconds.
âWait for me at home for a while.
Iâm bringing some people over now, and we can plan well when we meet.â
Heipi said.
âOkay.â
Chen Yang agreed and then hung up the phone.
While Chen Yang was talking to Heipi, the yard was very quiet; everyone was listening to their conversation.
When they heard that Chen Yang and Heipi planned to capture the tiger alive, everyone was stunned.
âYang Zi, are you really planning to capture the tiger alive?â
âThatâs too risky, I donât think itâs a good idea.â
âA tiger is very strong!
We canât subdue it!â
Everyone was not very confident about this plan, but Chen Yang remained silent throughout.
If he wasnât sure, Chen Yang definitely wouldnât attempt it.
Since he had agreed for Heipi to come over and discuss, it showed Chen Yang was quite confident it could work.
The crowd in the yard was buzzing with discussions, and several people were still trying to track the tiger.
Chen Yang sat quietly in the yard, waiting for Heipi and his people to arrive.
About ten minutes later, Heipi and his group appeared in everyoneâs view.
Knowing that the tiger was in the village, they were exceedingly cautious as they approached, each carrying a weapon and guarding the surroundings as they slowly neared Chen Yangâs house.
They safely reached the backyard of Chen Yangâs house.
Seeing Heipi and his group fully armed, Chen Yang stood up.
And just as Chen Yang was about to discuss how to catch the tiger with Heipi, the village aunties spoke up first, trying to persuade them.
âHeipi, Yang Zi, thatâs a tiger; youâre no match for it!
Better stay put and wait for authorities to handle it.â
As the aunties spoke, Yang Ruoxi, Wu Kexin, Li Han immediately came out, agreeing with what the aunties said.
They didnât want Chen Yang to take the risk.
But Chen Yang didnât want to risk it either.
However, with the tiger roaming around the village, it had become a big problem for the villagers to go out for their basic needs, not to mention every household had some livestock.
If it all ended up feeding the tiger, the loss would be huge.
Especially for Chen Yang, the animals in his two breeding farms were all well-fed, which would certainly attract the tiger if it got wind of them, and the wire fence might not hold against it.
Chen Yangâs decision to act was born of necessity.
âAunties, donât worry, we know we canât overpower a tiger with brute strength, but we can think of a strategy!
Who said capturing a tiger always requires brute force?â
Chen Yang said.
Heipi and his people were eager participants in the tiger capture; upon hearing Chen Yangâs words, they immediately echoed his sentiment.
âExactly, the tiger is roaming around the village, and we can think of a way to deal with it; itâs not always about brute force.
Dealing with the tiger sooner will also allow everyone to go out sooner,â Heipi said.
Hearing Chen Yang and Heipi say this, the aunties considered it; after all, no matter how fierce, a tiger is still an animal.
They not only had more people, but they could also think of strategies, not necessarily using brute force.
