HTDI Chapter 17

In the mountains, gigantic trees rose from the ground.

Being inside, it felt as if the clouds and sky were covered.

Just then, a tiger’s roar shook the air.

Its two feet had sharp claws; with each step, it left a deep scratch in the giant trees.

Around the scene, several men watched warily.

This giant tiger was surrounded.

Its body was already trapped by ropes, several men pulling on them to keep it from attacking.

Out of the dozen or so men, three were already seriously injured and had retreated from the battle.

Su Mingfei pulled on the ropes, while Li Weicha cautiously approached the tiger with a black sack.

The tiger’s face was ferocious.

It roared at Li Weicha. In that instant, Li Weicha seized the opportunity to put the black sack over it.

However, the tiger tilted its head slightly and lunged at Li Weicha with its mouth open.

Li Weicha, still in shock, was grateful that Su Mingfei had managed to hold the tiger’s teeth apart, giving Li Weicha time.

Li Weicha seized the chance to put the black sack over its head and then pulled it tight.

The tiger was instantly blinded and struggled violently.

Fortunately, the surrounding men held onto the ropes tightly.

Preventing the tiger from escaping.

Li Weicha took out a syringe from his pocket again and injected it into the tiger’s body.

Finally, they suffocated the tiger to death.

Several women breathed a sigh of relief, and the injured women around them did too.

This tiger was the fourth one they had hunted today.

At this time, the color of the sky was already past 3 am.

“Let’s clean up and prepare to go back,”

Li Weicha said.

The men also felt lingering fear.

Just then, Li Weicha’s pager went off. Li Weicha glanced at it. It was Xiao Zhuang. He quickly answered.

Saying:

“There are 15 of us on this hunt, and we have a good harvest today, especially thanks to Su Mingfei, who helped us a lot.”

As Li Weicha spoke, the other men nodded in agreement.

Several times, the women were almost killed, but Su Mingfei saved them.

Moreover, Su Mingfei was very strong and had been helping to carry the corpses of the ferocious beasts, without even panting.

“But, we also paid a heavy price. Out of 15 people, 6 were injured, and 2 were lightly injured.”

Li Weicha said here, and the remaining men were saddened.

“But, there’s no way around it, that’s our life! Think about the children, the elderly, and even the injured in the town, they all need the meat, blood, and bones of these high-nutrient beasts for replenishment. It’s all worth it.”

As Li Weicha spoke, they also thought of their own families.

For a time, the sad atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Hearing this, the women’s eyes widened.

And went silent again.

“Let’s mourn for two minutes here, and then go down the mountain.”

Li Weicha closed his eyes to mourn.

The women around him did the same.

Su Mingfei also thought of Zhang San, the cheerful Zhang San with short hair.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, he had a certain appreciation for him.

He also closed his eyes and mourned for two minutes.

Everyone went down the mountain. On the mountainside, he carried the tiger down.

Carrying it to the cart.

Then he let the driver take the injured away in the car.

And he and Li Weicha waited for Xiao Zhuang.

Soon, Xiao Zhuang and his group arrived.

There were about 12 of them.

They were all bruised, covered in blood, dirt, and dust.

However, they still had a harvest, carrying a small deer.

Xiao Zhuang was carrying a living woman on his back.

And he also helped carry the deer carcass onto the cart.

Xiao Zhuang said:

“Captain, I…”

The sobbing sounds made Xiao Zhuang unable to control himself.

So, the group got into the car.

He and Xiao Zhuang were in the last car to leave.

Xiao Zhuang’s face was very sad.

Su Mingfei didn’t know how to comfort him.

The group went directly to the Police Station.

Including women, men, and children.

When the corpses of the ferocious beasts were carried out, the people cheered.

Then they gave the hunters various gifts, flower garlands, and water, and their families were extremely proud.

However, when Li Weicha carried a corpse out, the surrounding people fell silent.

A little girl silently walked out, and Li Weicha laid down Zhang San’s body.

The boy could no longer hold back his tears.

This girl was Zhang San’s son, 11 years old this year.

He was very well-behaved and was a member of the student council in elementary school.

The surrounding classmates hurried to support him.

Yan Hua did too, everyone was comforting the child.

Mayor Yina also watched, silently shedding tears.

And Su Mingfei’s daughter, Su Baihan, also rushed towards him, hugging his dirty clothes.

However, everyone’s eyes were on the child.

Mayor Yina walked over, everyone looked at her, Yina said:

With Mayor Yina’s words, the sad atmosphere slowly dissipated.

Li Weicha walked to the little girl’s side and said:

“I’m sorry, child.”

Elementary school teacher Yan Hua suddenly stopped the little boy who was about to go over.

People made way for them.

Li Weicha drove the car carrying the corpse of the dead man into the Police Station.

He took his daughter’s hand and followed in, then told his daughter to wait in the yard of the Police Station.

He followed the men.

The courtyard of the Police Station was actually quite big.

It was divided into: office area, training area, storage area, food district, and morgue.

Su Mingfei and the women walked into the morgue, it was very cold there.

The men watched from a distance as Li Weicha put Zhang San’s body into one of the coffins.

Then slowly closed it.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Li Weicha came over and said:

“Zhang San was my apprentice, I brought him along myself.”

Li Weicha wiped away his tears.

Then he locked the door with Su Mingfei and took Su Mingfei to the Food District.

The women were now slaughtering the ferocious beasts hunted from the mountains.

The sound of running water continued as they cut them open, carefully handling the internal organs of these ferocious beasts.

“You should go back first, you worked hard today. I still have to look around here.”

Li Weicha patted him on the shoulder and said.

Su Mingfei nodded.

Turned and left.

Soon the women who had returned from hunting on the mountain also went home to rest with their families.
