Chapter 48 - The Unlucky (1)
There was a family less than 50 metres away from my house. The household's name was great valor.
great valor was just like its name, he was brave in everything he did. He was around 1.75 metres tall, and his entire body was covered in muscles.
However, the villagers all knew that although great valor's face was ugly, his character was still considered calm. Usually, he liked to do some reckless things, such as going up the mountain often and fighting the wild wolves in the mountains with a stick.
According to what I know, in the past few years, great valor did something that everyone in the village knows about, that is, there is a tiger behind the mountain in the village that would always go down the mountain and hurt people. Although people deeply hate this tiger, they can't do anything about it because this tiger is very smart.
Many Villagers s went up the mountain in droves to search for tigers, but they found out that the tiger had long since hidden itself in an unknown cave, causing them to be unable to find it after searching through every nook and cranny. However, occasionally when one or two people were walking up the mountain alone, no matter where they went, they would always be caught by a tiger. In short, this tiger, as the Villagers described it, became a monster.
And that year, great valor ran to the top of the mountain alone with a sickle in his hand. It was said that he waited for a full three days and three nights on the mountain before he met the tiger.
great valor never brought up this matter, but everyone in the village knew about it. Everyone was very familiar with the tiger that made people hate it, including every single hair on its body.
After staying on the mountain for three days and three nights from great valor, everyone knew that there was an additional ornament inside his house, and that was a tiger skin carpet.
The lines on the carpet were exactly the same as the tiger's skin on the mountain.
After this matter was spread, he became a complete warrior in the village. Although he didn't think of it himself and walked with the same aggressive expression as before, the respect from the people in the village towards him had increased by quite a bit.
The great valor was thirty-five years old and had no children. Some said that he might have killed many tigers, leopards, wolves, and even caused the souls of tigers, leopards, and wolves to deliberately make things difficult for him, making him sterile in the Wife. Others said that he himself had this disease and made his wife suffer together but not get any children.
But no matter what the truth was, the people of the village were still very envious of great valor, because not only did great valor have all of his strength and courage, the most important thing was that he also had a beautiful Wife.
The Wife of the great valor is called Baihe.
Her hometown was a relatively wealthy village. She had a stable job in her hometown and her parents also had decent jobs, just that once, she met a few hooligans in the town who bullied her. When great valor saw this, he immediately took action and acted bravely, this action deeply moved Baixi, so Baihe decided to stay in the village and married to great valor.
After saying all that, in reality, I am not someone who likes to ask about the Dong Clan's Chang Li Clan, but there is a reason why I brought the matter of great valor here, as I have been seeing him for the past few days.
They were both in the same village, and their homes were less than fifty meters away from each other. It didn't seem strange to see them often.
But the strange thing is, every time I go out and meet the great valor, he sneaks around like he's hiding behind a parasol tree not far from my house.
The wutong tree had withered a long time ago, and its body was dry like an aged candle, ready to fall at any time. The narrow and big tree was simply unable to stop the great valor's tall and sturdy body.
Every time I opened the door, I would see him hiding behind a big tree, looking in my direction. Every time she met my eyes, she would smile awkwardly before nodding her head in greeting.
