When all the young and strong men in the village rushed to the place where Lin Yuelan’s hut was, they were stunned.

It was true that a big tiger was there, and it was also true that it was tall and fierce.

But what else was also true?

The white tiger, which was as tall as an adult’s waist, stood obediently in front of Lin Yuelan’s house.

Its round and big eyes looked at the crowd with confusion. With its white fur, it looked as cute as it could be.

However, no matter how cute it was, it was still a big tiger.

Therefore, everyone stared at the big tiger with vigilance. At the same time, their faces revealed a sense of panic and unease. They hesitated if they should rush forward to combat the tiger.

The cowardly men among the crowd were so scared that they hid behind others.

Lin Dawei was the first to arrive. Then again, even if he weren’t the first, the other villagers would wait for him before they dared to do anything. This was because he was the village hunter. Thankfully, Lin Dawei’s home wasn’t that far from Lin Yuelan’s hut. He arrived soon after Little White roared. But when he arrived, he was confused. The big tiger didn’t look like he was there to seek revenge. Instead, it stood in front of Lin Yuelan’s hut, wagging its tail happily.

Moreover, there was not the slightest trace of panic on Lin Yuelan’s face. On the contrary, the people on the ground were so scared that their faces were pale. Lin Daniu’s pants were even wet.

Lin Dawei slowly understood what was happening. Why were the four sprawled in front of the girl’s house with everyday stuff scattered around them? Were they there to steal from Lan ‘Er?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lin Dawei stood at a distance away from the big tiger. With a worried and anxious expression, he shouted, “Lan ‘Er, are you alright?”

At this moment, Lin Yuelan was angrily questioning the four. When she heard Lin Dawei, she walked away from the four. However, she didn’t walk toward Lin Dawei. Instead, what she did made everyone hold their breath. They stared at Lin Yuelan’s movements with their eyes wide open. There was some fear and worry on their faces.

Lin Dawei was the most worried. He shouted in shock, “Lan ‘Er, be careful. Don’t go near it!”

However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Yuelan didn’t seem to hear Lin Dawei and walked straight toward the Great White Tiger.

Then, she stood still.

Everyone was once again shocked by Lin Yuelan’s actions, their eyes filling with disbelief.

Lin Yuelan raised her hand and patted the Big Tiger’s head.

Her voice was very tender as she said, “Little White, go and stand over there. You’re too close to the crowd. They’ll misunderstand you as a dangerous threat.”

Lin Yuelan was pointing at the spot where Li Cuihua and the other three were lying.

This time, all four of them had pools of water under their butts.

Lin Daniu was always the overachiever. He rolled his eyes and fainted from the fright.

When the three women saw the tiger walking their way, they were so frightened that their faces were as pale as paper. Their eyes were filled with terror, and their expressions were even more fearful.

The three women were all of a certain age. They would be scared when they faced a ferocious dog, much less a big tiger that could eat them in a single munch.

Little White swayed and stood majestically in front of the four people. Then, like a dedicated guard on sentry duty, it stood there with a serious expression.

The people looked at this with their eyes and mouths wide open.

Lin Yuelan’s eyes were sharp as she scanned the crowd.

She was waiting.

She was waiting for the appearance of the key character.

That person didn’t show up three years ago, but she believed he would show up this time.

She needed him to prevent the villagers from bothering her again. Therefore, she had Little White howl to lure him out. She knew she might not have his cooperation, so she had done some digging with Little Green and her host’s help.

This small hut of hers could not withstand much destruction. Although the hut was dilapidated, it was her home. So, she had to protect it.

Lin Yuelan slowly walked into the crowd. She asked, “Uncles, what are you doing with these weapons?”

Of course, she knew that they were drawn there by Little White’s roar. They assumed that a big tiger had come down the mountain to eat people.

The crowd snapped to attention. They were there with the tools to fight the tiger.

However, the tiger was standing before them. None of them wanted to be the first to challenge it.

Lin Dawei put the bow and arrow back in his leather bag. He clenched his fist with one hand. He coughed twice and grinned. He asked curiously, “Lan ‘Er, did the roar come from this tiger?” He pointed at the Big White Tiger and asked.

Lin Yuelan nodded. “Yes.” Then, she explained, “Before dawn, I went up the mountain. However, halfway there, I remembered I had left something at home. It’d take too much time to travel on foot. So, I had Little White carry me back home. It would save me a lot of time.

“But,” Lin Yuelan’s expression changed. Her young and immature little face was filled with anger and grievance. She pointed at the few people who were slumped on the ground and said, “They… are such bullies!”

When the crowd heard Lin Yuelan refer to the tiger as Little White, the corners of their mouths twitched.

This tall and mighty big white tiger should be called Big White. Little White didn’t seem to match its appearance and aura.

However, when the villagers heard Lin Yuelan actually rode the tiger down the mountain, they were shocked again. They looked horrified.

The jinx rode the big white tiger down the mountain?! The day before yesterday, the jinx had killed a big tiger. Yesterday, she went to town to sell it and today, she rode a big tiger down the mountain?!

Everything was too unbelievable!

Lin Dawei was surprised by what Lin Yuelan said too. However, when Lin Yuelan pointed at Lin Daniu, Li Cuihui, and the other two with such indignation and anger, he frowned. He had a feeling that something had happened.

Lin Dawei asked seriously, “Lan ‘Er, what exactly did they do?”

Lin Yuelan pointed at the four of them. Her face was red with anger. She said indignantly, “Uncle Dawei, I… don’t know what to say. Why don’t you go inside my house and take a look for yourself?!”

Lin Dawei frowned slightly. Then, he walked into Lin Yuelan’s house to take a look. The big tiger was guarding the door. Although he was afraid, he tried to ignore the beast.

When Lin Dawei came out of the hut, the anger on his face was obvious.

One had to wonder what Lin Dawei had seen inside Lin Yuelan’s hut that made him so angry. After all, he was not someone who was famed for having an irritable temper.
