Chapter 642: Chapter 642 Little Tiger Chapter 642: Chapter 642 Little Tiger “What’s there to panic about? Pick up the torches quickly. The village is already in enough chaos; don’t add to it,” the village head, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, scolded loudly after seeing the situation in the room and hearing the villagers’ loud clamor.

“Village head, this is bad. It looks like Erlaizi has met with misfortune. Should we report this to the authorities?” The sight of the bones on the bed struck terror into the villagers’ spines.

“Have you lost your mind? General Situ and the county magistrate are both in our village; what’s there to report?” The fresh blood on the ground, the wolf carcasses and internal organs, and the human skeleton on the bed were enough to overwhelm even the village head, who usually had strong nerves. A calamity of this magnitude had occurred in the village under his jurisdiction, and now, with General Situ and the county magistrate both present in the village, it seemed his position as village head was in jeopardy. Anxiety churned in his heart.

Villager: “Right, I got so scared I actually forgot we have two important figures in the village!”

Just at that moment, Situ Yongjie and Xuexue hurried over.

“General Lord, this is terrible! Our village has been attacked by a pack of wolves, and there have been casualties,” the village head cried out in grief as soon as he saw the general.

“Alright! I know, this is an accident. This isn’t your fault, so stop crying here. You are the village head, the cornerstone of the entire village. You should remain calm in the face of adversity. Panicking over every little thing is disgraceful!” General Situ waved his hand in impatience.

He was used to leading thousands of soldiers in battle, witnessing rivers of blood and fields of corpses countless times. Such small scenes meant nothing to him.

He glanced around and asked, “Where’s the county magistrate?”

The village head wiped away his tears, “The county magistrate hasn’t arrived yet; I have already sent someone to fetch him.”

“He sleeps rather soundly for such a big incident.”

As General Situ spoke, he strode into the room to inspect it, his brow furrowing upon seeing the ground covered with wolf carcasses and viscera. It was conceivable that the fierce wolves had eaten humans, but what about these dead wolves scattered all over the floor? Could it be that after eating the people, the wolves turned on each other? Situ Yongjie was utterly baffled.

General Situ examined the room thoroughly.

Xuexue was shocked at the scene before her eyes. Her thoughts mirrored General Situ’s. Catching a glimpse of Little Tiger crouched in the corner of the door, she scooped it up and murmured to herself, “You little guy, how did you end up here? Aren’t you afraid the pack of wolves would eat you?”

“Meow meow.” Little Tiger seemed to understand yet not understand, mewing a few times in response.

“It’s not like you’d understand if I explained,” Xuexue held it in her arms, planning to take it home later.

At that time, everyone in Mo Family Village had been startled awake. Those who were brave had dressed and come over to see what was happening, while those who were timid simply shut their doors and windows and went back to sleep.

The once inconspicuous dilapidated house, now the scene of its owner’s unfortunate demise, was besieged by villagers holding torches.

General Situ studied for a while but couldn’t determine who had killed these wolves. Judging from the wolf carcasses, it seemed they were torn apart by bare hands, as there were no signs of cuts by a blade.

No one dared to leave without the General resting first. Xuexue kept yawning, “Dad, if we can’t figure it out, let it be. Let’s investigate it tomorrow. It’s almost dawn; we should go to sleep.” Saying this, she stretched and covered her mouth with another yawn.
