Xuexue walked out of the house. The yard was bustling with people, and for a moment, she did not notice the dead tiger on the ground.

“Madam, you’re awake.” As soon as he saw Xuexue come out, Big Bull put down his teacup and went over to her.

“Yes! The sun is nearly setting. How long did I sleep?” Xuexue looked up toward the west where the sun was slowly setting, the sky in the west ablaze with multicolored sunset clouds, red mixed with yellow; it was very beautiful.

“Madam, you have slept for a whole day.”

“What? Why didn’t you wake me? In a few days, we need to host the housewarming feast, and there’s so much to do.”

“I just got back too.”

“Where did you go?”

“Madam, come over here, I have a surprise for you.” Big Bull walked with Xuexue toward the tiger.

“Big Bull, what is it? I haven’t even asked you yet, why are there so many people in the yard, and Uncle Village Chief is here too?” As she spoke, Xuexue glanced over and, seeing the village head sitting nearby sipping tea, was even more surprised, wondering what on earth had happened that even the village head was stirred.

“Madam, look here.” Big Bull gently pressed her head down toward the ground.

Xuexue was instantly dumbstruck: “This… this… isn’t this the tiger that attacked me this morning?”

The tiger’s back was covered with haphazard slash marks, all her handiwork; it would have been hard for her not to recognize it.

Big Bull said, “That’s right.”

Xuexue felt very moved, knowing that Big Bull had done this to vent her anger: “Big Bull, did you go up the mountain again?”

“Yes.”

“You’re so silly. The forest is so vast, how did you know for sure you’d find it?”

Big Bull gently smiled, “I just followed the direction Madam pointed out, and soon I found it. That beast was sleeping in its cave; It didn’t take much effort. I just threw a couple of punches, and it was dead.”

The two talked as if no one else was around, prompting the village head to quickly cough loudly.

Big Bull turned his head and asked, “Uncle Village Chief, is there anything else?”

The village head smiled, “Actually, there is.”

Big Bull frowned slightly as he looked at him, “Oh?”

The village head explained, “Well, in the past few years, since we often had tigers coming down the mountain and hurting people, the government office posted a notice saying that any villager who kills a tiger, be they common folk or nobility, can carry the tiger to the yamen and claim a reward.”

Xuexue, looking like a greedy miser, asked, “Uncle Village Chief, do you know how much the reward is?”

The village head shook his head, “I’m not sure about that, because no one has ever claimed it.”

Xuexue was puzzled. In her previous life, she always stayed at home, rarely inquiring about what happened around her. She genuinely didn’t know about this and asked, “Why is that? Hasn’t anyone killed a tiger in these past few years?”

“It’s not that. There have been. However, the common people wouldn’t easily go to the yamen for fear of getting into legal trouble, so they never claimed the reward. Instead, they would take it to the street and secretly sell it.”

“Right, that makes sense.” Xuexue nodded in understanding and then said to the village head, “Uncle Village Chief, then we won’t go to the government office either, to avoid any trouble.”

Big Bull was the War Prince of Moli Country and knew very well about the rewards from the government office since he personally issued them. He even knew that the government office offered quite a substantial reward for killing a tiger, exactly one thousand taels.

“No, no, no, Uncle Village Chief, let’s go claim the reward, we will claim the reward,” Big Bull quickly interrupted Xuexue and said to the village head.

“Big Bull?”

Xuexue was somewhat surprised, thinking to herself, this guy’s brain must be malfunctioning again. When others avoid claiming the reward, why should they eagerly do so? What if the County Magistrate isn’t a good person? Wouldn’t they be walking into a trap?
