Chapter 252: The Village Divides Tiger Meat, Jackal Meat, and Leopard Meat!

The black panther walked around the three babies for a long time. Then, it lowered its head and used its head to approach the babies’ faces. Ye Lulu’s heart seemed to have exploded!

The black panther’s long and thick beard swept over the babies’ tender faces. It lowered its head and sniffed the babies. A look of surprise flashed past its eyes, as if it was indeed interested in the babies’ auras.

Then it paused and walked around the babies twice before stopping. It turned its head and looked at Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei.

The black panther leaped down the bed and landed steadily on the ground.

It was indeed silent!

The natural talents of animals were too amazing!

The black panther finally arrived beside the two of them, especially Guan Chibei. It raised its head and looked at Guan Chibei for a long time with its golden eyes.

Its attitude actually seemed a little obedient.

At this moment, Ye Lulu could confirm that this black panther did not seem to have any ill intentions.

After staring at Guan Chibei for a few moments, the black panther started to move. It swept its tail and seemed to be filled with curiosity as it walked around the two of them.

Its eyes were shining, and its black nose moved slightly from time to time, recording their scents.

Ye Lulu’s beating heart gradually calmed down. She even had some strength in her heart. She turned around and watched the black panther move. Her gaze couldn’t help but fall on the smooth body of the black panther.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, there was no chance to observe a black panther at such a close distance.

Ye Lulu could see clearly that the outline of the muscles on the black panther’s back was very clear and smooth. Its fur was really beautiful. It was unknown if this was related to the color of its pure black fur or if the black panther was good at catching and eating. Its entire fur was like satin, smooth and bright. A luster could even be seen on its surface. The black panther did not move at all, but it had an indescribable beauty.

Guan Chibei hugged her with a calm expression and did not move. He also wanted to see what this black panther wanted to do. Did it purely follow him to fulfill its interest?

After walking around the two of them a few times, the black panther walked away and started to walk around the house leisurely!

Ye Lulu’s tensed back relaxed. Why did she feel that the black panther had automatically entered the phase of being friends?

Did it really think that their family was benevolent and because it was curious about a human’s residence, it came to see their family?

This black panther was…

It walked leisurely in the house for a while, and the babies started clapping happily. The black panther looked around the house, his eyes shining with interest. Then, it walked to Guan Chibei.

It sniffed him with its black nose.

It was also very close to Ye Lulu. Then, Ye Lulu saw with her own eyes that Guan Chibei paused and seemed to think for a moment. Then, in the next second, he slowly stretched out his hand and walked towards the black panther…

His movements were very slow and quiet, probably carrying a sense of comfort. The black panther’s pupils narrowed warily, and its smooth and beautiful but extremely dangerous and fierce body tensed up.

Ye Lulu was so frightened that her fingers suddenly constricted and she gripped Guan Chibei’s fingers tightly.

What was Guan Chibei thinking?

Was he so bold as to try interacting with the black panther?

However, black panthers were wild after all. There was a certain risk in doing so. Should he not touch it for safety…

Ye Lulu, a modern person, was always afraid of such wild beasts.

She did not know that Guan Chibei had an underworld aura mixed with divine power.

Guan Chibei’s palm paused, letting the black panther know that he did not have any malicious intent. When the black panther’s emotions calmed down, its golden eyes looked at him warily, but it did not move away. Guan Chibei tried to reach out his hand again…

Then, it gently landed on the black panther’s head.

Guan Chibei gently touched the black panther’s head.

Ye Lulu’s eyes widened as countless ‘OMGs’ popped up in her heart! No way, was this real?! Guan Chibei had actually touched the black panther’s head!

What she did not know was that Guan Chibei deliberately released some yin energy to slowly calm the black panther down. At the same time, he gently touched the black panther’s head.

It felt good!

Wild beasts actually had smooth and cool fur.

Indeed, cats who eat raw meat have different fur!

Ye Lulu was actually surprised. Guan Chibei reached out his arm and stroked the black panther for a while.

The black panther also raised its head. The expression on its face could not be said to be of enjoyment or joy, but its eyes were slightly narrowed. It looked at Guan Chibei.

After a while, the black panther took a step back and did not let Guan Chibei touch it again.

After touching it for a while, Guan Chibei became more familiar with the black panther.

Being touched on the head by a human was already the most extreme contact. Its pair of golden eyes looked at the two of them. Then, as if it was almost time for tonight’s visit, it turned around and jumped towards the window.

It did not even need to step on the bed.

It jumped out of the window directly. This jumping ability…

Ye Lulu could not see anything through the darkness and there was no sound from the outside. The black panther had already jumped out of the house and left the Guan family.

The black panther seemed to have had enough fun and left.

The crisis was resolved.

Ye Lulu looked out the window and let out a huge breath. The chill of the night seeped in. The babies on the bed were still very active. Fortunately, the babies were born to withstand the cold well, so they were fine!

Ye Lulu saw that the three babies’ faces were still flushed and their appearances had not changed. She was slightly relieved. Then… Guan Chibei, who was holding her in his arms, seemed to have become more prominent.

Ye Lulu felt her body tighten.

She remembered… Her legs had gone limp from fear just now. Guan Chibei had held her and hugged her in his arms out of habit. He had also comforted her in a low voice…

They had not realized just now because the situation was urgent. Now that they had calmed down, it would be…

The two of them were still interlocking their fingers. Guan Chibei held her hand first to calm her emotions. She opened her fingers and closed them tightly.

All the pores on Ye Lulu’s body seemed to have opened up. Her fingers were cold, and her heart raced. Ye Lulu took a breath and said in a nonchalant voice, “Thank you for comforting me… I’m fine now. I was just frightened.”

A faint feeling lingered by the side.

Guan Chibei did not let go of her immediately.

Ye Lulu’s heart skipped a beat. All the time around her seemed to have slowed down. She wondered how long they would maintain this posture.

After a while, it seemed like a few blinks, but the intervals between them were very obvious.

Guan Chibei let go of her. The temperature of his hands and arms were normal, and his voice was low and calm. His words vibrated behind her ears. “Yes… You’re welcome.”

For some reason.

Ye Lulu felt that the words ‘you’re welcome’ were so unfamiliar on the surface, but it sounded soul-stirring now… It could be said that it was exciting, or to use a simple word on the surface: sexy.

One of them thanked while the other said it was fine. It was funny.

It sounded extremely unfamiliar and polite.

However, that was not the case at all. On the contrary…

Oh no.

Ye Lulu stood there and felt her heart beating faster.

Was Guan Chibei… really a down-to-earth mountain man?

It was too exciting. She felt more tempted.

The window paper was torn open by the black panther. Although the babies were more resistant to the cold, it could not stay open for the night.

Fortunately, Guan Chibei was around. He turned around and brought in new window paper.

It was already so late. It was indeed a little troublesome, but there was no choice. It was the first time Ye Lulu had her lights up so late at night. It was also the first time Guan Chibei was still in her house at this time.

After everything was settled and they could lie down normally, it was already midnight.

…

The next morning, everyone in the village woke up very early, but they didn’t do anything. Instead, they gathered urgently and talked about last night!

Last night, the men in the village were busy until late at night. The women and children barely slept in fear, but they were still very panicked this morning and immediately gathered together.

They were all talking about the wild beasts leaving the mountain. This was like a nightmare, but it wasn’t!

A few people cried loudly. Their cries rushed into the sky and suddenly rushed in front of everyone.

These were the families of the few villagers who had been bitten to death in the village last night.

This was also what the villagers were most panicked and uneasy about. Last night, villagers had been bitten to death by wild beasts! It was not a dream or a lie. Those were human lives!

When the villagers saw the crying people, their expressions were ugly and they were extremely panicked. The village head said with a tired expression, “The matter of the wild beasts leaving the mountain was purely an accident. No one could do anything about it.”

“Last night, the people in our village had already counted clearly. One or two leopards escaped, but all the other fierce beasts on the mountain were killed by Guan Chibei.”

“We’ve already thought about it. The wild beasts on the mountain ran down this time… It should be related to the long winter this year. The wild beasts in the mountains can’t find food and are extremely hungry.”

“After this incident, there shouldn’t be any wild beasts who dare to come to the village in the short term. In another half a month, the snow will melt. When spring comes, all the wild beasts will run deep into the mountains and not come down the mountain again.”

“Therefore, this was an unexpected disaster, but our village shouldn’t have any more trouble.”

The villagers of Yunwu Village were in an uproar. All of them had uncertain reactions and started to discuss.

The village head, Li Yue, was right. Many villagers had also realized that this winter was exceptionally long. It was much longer than in the previous years. Even after the new year, it was still snowing heavily.

In that case… it seemed that the wild beasts had left the mountain because of a special phenomenon this year.

Secondly, the wild beasts had bitten people to death. Even though the villagers felt that this reason was logical, they couldn’t help but be afraid.

Therefore, the village was still in a mess. Many villagers had pale expressions and were crying non-stop.

The villagers who had lost their families were still crying, but there was really no choice. Li Yue pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, “The villagers will help with the funeral arrangements, but the most important problem is the safety of the village. Although wild beasts might not come down the mountain again, everyone would still be worried. The village still needs to arrange some methods to prevent wild beasts from coming down the mountain again.”

“That’s right!”

“I’m just afraid. What if the wild beasts really come down the mountain again?”

The villagers started to discuss among themselves. Another villager asked anxiously, “Will Guan Chibei stay in the village forever?”

This villager asked the key question!

At this moment, the villagers of Yunwu Village were dependent on Guan Chibei.

No matter if the villagers were related to the Guan family or Guan Chibei, after the incident last night, they placed Guan Chibei in a very important position in the village.

As soon as someone asked, the villagers immediately focused their attention on Guan Chibei.

“Yes.” Li Yue said, “It’s still snowing heavily. Where can Guan Chibei go?”

Actually, Mother Rong and the rest were also present. This was a big matter in the village. Even if they were not afraid, they were quite worried. When Guan Chibei was mentioned, many people in the village looked at the Guan family. Mother Rong could not help but smile proudly.

“That’s good…”

“At the very least, if more wild beasts come down the mountain, Guan Chibei can still shoot them…”

The villagers were all relieved. In fact, there was no solution to this matter. Many villagers had lived in Yunwu Village for most of their lives, and many of their ancestors had lived in it too. It was impossible for them to change their living quarters so easily.

In ancient times, it was very difficult to move anywhere. The villagers could only accept the fact that wild beasts had left the mountain or think of other ways to defend against them. Otherwise, everywhere was dangerous.

Everyone was still feeling lingering fear because of what had happened last night.

“The villagers will discuss together later and organize the strong men to patrol at night, or ask the hunters and Guan Chibei about what could be done to defend against the wild beasts on the mountain.”

Li Yue then said that this matter would be over for the time being.

Then, Li Yue announced, “That’s all for now. As for the corpses of the fierce beasts killed last night, there’s so much meat. We can’t just throw it away. Everyone, do you want to share it?”

The villagers widened their eyes and paused for a moment. All their reactions were: “Yes!”

Everyone was in an uproar again.

The main reason was that it had been too long a winter. There was very little food left in every family. So much meat was simply a timely savior! Furthermore, even during normal times, it was very difficult for the villagers to eat much meat.

In the eyes of farmers, no matter what this meat brought, it was definitely precious!

The gloomy atmosphere of the villagers instantly turned into joy and happiness. The dead were already gone, so they had to look at the situation now no matter what. Moreover, wasn’t splitting and eating the meat of these fierce beasts a form of revenge?!

The villagers’ eyes glowed with excitement. There was food to replenish now, and it was meat!

The village head, Li Yue, counted the wild beasts that were killed last night. “There was a tiger, a few jackals, and a leopard. The men in the village dealt with them together last night. We’ll split them now. The village will definitely split them evenly. Everyone, let’s discuss how to split them.”
