Chapter 19: Precognitive Dream

This is incredible.

Could that dream be a warning, or perhaps a prophetic dream?

Is it a coincidence or a prediction of the future? We will see later.

Su Yin thought that a tiger would emerge from behind the team, so she turned around and walked towards the back of the team.

Seeing her leaving, Yang Dashu joked: “Su Yatou, you are not looking for it anymore?”

“Uncle, you said there is nothing in the mountain stone forest, then it must not be there. What you said is definitely not wrong.”

Hearing this comfortable, Yang Dashu Laughed.

When Su’s mother saw her daughter coming back, “It’s good that you can find so many stinky grasses. How can there be so many.”

“Well, I won’t look for it anymore. Mom, I’ll go back and have a look.”

“Okay, pay attention to safety.”

“Yeah.”

According to the dream, the first place where the tiger sprang out was at its tail. She walked to the back of the team and looked at the surrounding environment.

It must have been shortly after passing through the stone forest that the tiger suddenly appeared, catching everyone by surprise.

The families at the back of the team relied on their men to pull the carts at a very slow speed, while the women supported and pushed the carts.

The children walked in front, and everyone’s attention was on their feet, ignoring their surroundings.

Su Yin walked into the depths, dug through the grass, and his eyes were attracted by a footprint, which was shaped like a plum blossom and oval. When measured with the palm of his hand, the length and width were about 10-18 centimeters, and the depth was about 3 centimeters.

This is probably the adult tiger in the dream.

An adult mountain tiger is so ferocious that a single strike with its forelimbs can produce more than 1,000 pounds (about 454 kilograms) of force, which is enough to break the skull or ribs of its prey.

If it hits a person, the consequences can be imagined.

Even with the body from his previous life, Su Yin couldn’t guarantee that he could kill the tiger.

Su Yin found her second uncle and said, “Second uncle, I saw the footprints left by wild beasts in the jungle.”

The second uncle was startled and quickly found the son of his next-door neighbor, Old Man Zhang, to replace him.

The second uncle and the younger uncle brought bows, arrows, and machetes.

“Brother, my third brother and I are going to take a look. Please be careful here.”

“Okay. You must also pay attention to safety.”

Su Yin led his two uncles to the place where he found the footprints.

The two squatted down, and the uncle measured the footprints with his hands. “The length is 3.6 inches, the width is 4.8 inches, and the depth is less than an inch. Second brother, this is an adult mountain tiger.”

Since there are footprints here, it means Mountain tigers are found in this area.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the second uncle and the younger uncle did not dare to delay and immediately found Yang Lizheng.

“Uncle Li Zheng, just now Yinyin saw the footprints of a wild beast in the jungle. We have seen them and they are the footprints of an adult mountain tiger.”

“Adult mountain tiger.” Yang Lizheng was shocked.

People around were also shocked.

Yang Dashu said hurriedly, “Impossible! I have never heard of mountain tigers on this road. If there were, those traveling for business and on the road would not take this road.”

No one dared to take this risk.

That’s a mountain tiger, one bite can kill someone.

Butcher Yang said, “There have been disasters in our area from time to time in the past few years, and the animals in the mountains are also suffering. It is normal for mountain tigers to come here.”

Yang Li’s face was solemn, “Boss, second child, you two hurry up and fight each other. Please inform everyone to cheer up. Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected.”

The two Yang brothers did not dare to delay and immediately informed every household of the news.

“Mountain tiger?”

“Impossible.” Some people didn’t believe it and thought it was alarmist.

“Both brothers Dachuan have seen it, and they can’t be wrong. Everyone should be alert.” Yang Fu, the eldest son of the Li Zheng family, explained.

“Brother Fu, with just one footprint, the tiger may have left long ago.”

Yang Fu said with a serious face, “Whether it’s gone or not, everyone is on the alert. If you are not afraid of death, just treat me like I am. Didn’t say anything.”

The villagers who originally wanted to say something simply shut up.

This kind of people is in the minority. Most people are very nervous after hearing about the tiger. Many families keep their children among adults.

Su Yin was not sure whether the tiger would appear like in her dream.

She was still walking at the back of the team, with her younger uncle and her second uncle, one in the middle and the other at the back of the team. In front was Butcher Yang, who was also an experienced hunter.

Seeing the surrounding scenery getting closer to the tiger in the dream, Su Yin clenched the knife in his hand.

“Uncle, I see something is going on over there.” Su Yin signaled to her uncle with her eyes.

That place is where the tiger suddenly sprang out in the dream.

The younger uncle took a look and saw that the situation was calm. The more this happened, the tighter his expression became. He also noticed that something was wrong, but he did not dare to act rashly. He pretended not to know anything and continued to move forward.

At this moment, the mountain tiger suddenly sprang out like in a dream.

The younger uncle drew his bow and fired, and the arrow feathers grazed the tiger’s head.

Even though people were mentally prepared, the sudden appearance of the mountain tiger still made them panic and scream.

“ah!”

After the mountain tiger, Shan Hu, appeared, Su Yin’s attention immediately went to Da Zhuang’s family.

This time, the tiger didn’t attack Da Zhuang, but instead went for Da Zhuang’s mother.

As the strong woman was about to pull Da Ya in front of her to shield her, Su Yin’s dagger flew past her ear, past the mother and daughter, and struck Shan Hu.

The mountain tiger quickly tilted its head to avoid the flying dagger, but it was still a step too late. The dagger pierced its neck.

“Roar!!”

The furious roar of the mountain tiger echoed through the forest, shaking the birds in the trees.

Su Yin’s second uncle and Butcher Yang rushed towards the commotion, followed by other middle-aged men in the group, armed with hoes and kitchen knives.

Su Yin’s act of stabbing the tiger had drawn its full attention. The tiger’s eyes blazed with fury, its sharp teeth bared, and it lunged at her.

With so many people on the mountain path, a direct attack could easily cause widespread injuries.

Su Yin decisively ran towards the mountain stone forest behind them.

When her second uncle realized her intention, he was horrified and worried.

She had made the right decision, but they were more concerned for her safety.

The second uncle and the others harassed Shan Hu from behind, buying Su Yin time. Fortunately, the second uncle and the others had fired arrows, otherwise Su Yin wouldn’t have been able to keep up with the tiger’s speed.

Even so, Shan Hu caught up to Su Yin and was about to pounce on her in a blink of an eye.

The uncle shouted, “Be careful!”

Su Yin felt the rush of air from behind. She rolled and dodged to the side. The mountain tiger’s teeth narrowly missed her back. If she had been a second slower, she would have been seriously injured.

After hitting the ground, Su Yin rolled several times and hid in the stone forest.

“Ho ho!!!”

Shan Hu roared, venting his frustration.

The second uncle and the others had caught up.

Shan Hu turned and roared at the group of them, as if angry that they had interrupted his attack.

Everyone was holding their weapons, facing the tiger. The tension was palpable.
