Chapter 60: Scaring the Town
Many villagers were afraid. Many started to ponder stuff.
Lin Laosan’s family managed to borrow the clothes, but when they saw the crowd disperse, they were confused. However, they didn’t connect this to Lin Yuelan.
Their top priority was to find their clothes.
If they didn’t find their clothes, they would have to buy new clothes in the future. They would have to buy new clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. That would cost them at least a year’s worth of extra money.
However, the problem was that they didn’t have extra money to buy clothes.
!!
They didn’t even have enough money to give Lin Dazong for his studies. How would they have enough money to buy new clothes? If they couldn’t buy new clothes, then they had to find their old clothes back.
All members of the family went out to look, wearing other villagers’ borrowed clothes.
After Li Cuihua walked out in Li Guafu’s clothes, she screamed nonstop. She was screaming about the person who had stolen her family’s clothes.
However, when the villagers heard her cursing, they curled their lips and looked at her strangely.
There was a bit of disdain, but in short, no one came forward to comfort her.
The villagers didn’t share with Lin Laosan’s family their guesses behind their clothes’ disappearance, and they didn’t care if Lin Laosan’s family managed to find their clothes or not.
…
Before dawn, Lin Yuelan set out from her home and headed towards the town.
As for the big tiger, Lin Yuelan had already taken it out of her s.p.a.ce when the sky was still dark. She carried it on her shoulders.
Why?
Because Lin Yuelan was too small and the tiger was too big. If she dragged the tiger, the tiger’s fur would be damaged, and it wouldn’t sell for a good price.
Therefore, Lin Yuelan chose to carry it over her shoulders.
However, she was too small, and the tiger was too big. When she carried the tiger, one could only see the tiger floating in the air, but one couldn’t see the child carrying it.
Therefore, this created a scary and strange scene.
A lying tiger wandered into the streets to attack people! The pa.s.sers-by instantly scattered!
However, when the pa.s.sersby turned back, they discovered that there was a small figure under the big tiger.
‘Holy s.h.i.t! Is this really a child?’
She looked around eight. How did she manage to carry a tiger that looked to be at least 500 catties with ease?
‘Heavens, are you joking with me?’
Or perhaps, this child was carrying a paper tiger?
Some people were extra curious and carefully approached the child… and the tiger.
When they approached and confirmed that the tiger was not moving, the pa.s.serby was extra curious. He gulped and asked, “Child, is that a real… real tiger on your shoulder, or a paper tiger?” A paper tiger would be used in Chinese opera as a prop.
‘Paper tiger?’ Lin Yuelan was puzzled. ‘Isn’t this quite obvious? Why would they ask such a question?’
Lin Yuelan, who didn’t realize the strange scene she had created, told the pa.s.serby, “Uncle, this is a real tiger that I hunted down in the mountain, not a paper tiger!”
A real tiger!
The pa.s.serby was stunned!
