Pu Junxiong immediately proposed to leave this place. Now that the two lions have been found, there is no need to stay any longer!
Di Chu nodded in agreement, and then ordered several subordinates to wrap up the lion's body and quickly evacuate the forest.
Outside the woods, people gathered around the iron cage. Everyone was pointing at the lioness in the cage and talking about it.
"Look at this, you are obviously dead! You didn't even make a sound..."
"Yes! It didn't react no matter what I did. It didn't look like it fainted at all..."
"Alas! A group of us put so much effort into searching all over the mountains and fields, but in the end... how can we do business when we get back to both ends?"
Just as everyone was expressing their opinions, someone outside the crowd suddenly reminded: "Hey, hey, hey, everyone is about to leave. Disi is back..."
The onlookers were shocked at the same time and quickly scattered out of the animal cage. They were in awe of Di Chu and the others.
Di Chu was the first to walk out of the woods, and happened to see the crowd disperse from the animal cage. He immediately frowned and walked towards the animal cage.
Following closely behind were Pu Junxiong and Sun Xingba, as well as several people carrying the lion's body. Behind them were Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu.
Di Chu walked to the animal cage and took a look. The lioness tied into a rice dumpling inside was still motionless, showing no sign of waking up.
Pu Junxiong also walked over, took a look, and asked curiously: "Why aren't you awake yet?"
Di Chu turned to look at Chai Yan and asked, "Chai Yan, it's been so long, why haven't you woken up yet?"
Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu were talking in a low voice. When they heard Di Chu's question, they came over. He glanced at the animal cage and said, "Shishi Di, don't be anxious. Wait patiently for a while. I'll wake up soon."
Promise... By the way, you have to loosen the rope first, otherwise it will be difficult to get it when you wake up... Where is the key, who cares about the key? "
With that said, Chai Yan found the key and opened the animal cage. He got in without hesitation, then squatted down and untied the lioness calmly.
The others outside were horrified to watch. Everyone was thinking, if the lion suddenly woke up at this moment, wouldn't it bite off Chai Yan's neck?
But the whole process was uneventful. After Chai Yan removed the rope that tied the lioness and the branches stuffed in its mouth one by one, he turned around and got out of the animal cage, locked the cage door, and then threw the key to
The man guarding the animal cage.
"Chai Yan, if the lioness doesn't survive, I will definitely blame you!" Di Chu glared.
"I know, I know..." Chai Yan looked indifferent.
Then, Di Chu issued an order to return to Mishan County.
On the way back, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu were walking at the back of the team.
Hang Baiqiu suddenly remembered that the receipt was still with him, so he took it out and handed it to Chai Yan: "This is for you."
Chai Yan took the receipt and stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "I made a hundred taels of gold, this trip is not a loss! Hahaha..."
Hang Baiqiu said with a trace of reproach in his eyes: "Chai Yan, you can't do this again..."
"It's okay! I will never do anything I'm not sure about!" Chai Yan said confidently.
Hang Baiqiu was stunned and asked quickly: "So, you already knew what was going on inside?"
"Shh..." Chai Yan quickly made a silent gesture and whispered: "The secret must not be leaked!"
At this time, in the middle of the team, Di Chu and Pu Junxiong were walking side by side. They had been following the side of the animal cage, always paying attention to the situation of the lioness.
Pu Junxiong asked: "Old Di, the male lion is dead. If the lioness can't wake up, how can we report to the emperor?"
Di Chu glanced at the lioness in the cage and said in a depressed mood: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Pu Junxiong paused and whispered: "Old Di, we all know that we need to trap and catch people alive! But Chai Yan didn't listen and punched the lioness to death. It's none of our business...
....”
The meaning of Pu Junxiong's words was very clear, that is, he wanted to shift the responsibility to Chai Yan. Even if the emperor blamed him, he and Di Chu could not bear the main responsibility.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Di Chu heard movement in the animal cage next to him.
Di Chu turned around and saw that the eyes of the lioness in the cage had been opened, and her limbs were slowly standing up.
"No, I'm really awake..." Pu Junxiong was shocked.
Immediately, someone shouted in front of and behind the animal cage...
"Look, the lioness is alive!"
"Oh my God! I really woke up!"
Di Chu immediately stopped and said: "Quiet! What's the point of making noise?"
With a shout, the team immediately fell silent.
The lioness in the cage had already begun to spin back and forth, making wild and restless roars.
It didn't take long for the lioness to start roaring in the cage, and would try to hit the cage from time to time. Fortunately, the cage was strong, so we didn't worry about it breaking through and escaping.
Di Chu felt that the lioness was too noisy and manic, so he ordered his subordinates to cover the animal cage with a prepared oilcloth. As soon as the light in the cage dimmed, the lioness' manic behavior was indeed reduced a lot.
Finally, Pu Junxiong had someone throw two chickens into the cage, and the lioness gradually calmed down. Only then did everyone understand that the lion was starving.
While walking, Di Chu, who was thinking about the problem, suddenly showed an expression of realization, and then said to himself in annoyance: "This guy is really lucky!"
Pu Junxiong asked: "Old Di, who are you talking about?"
"Who else could it be? It's Chai Yan!" Di Chu looked unhappy.
"What do you mean?" Pu Junxiong was confused.
"What do you mean?" Di Chu said coldly: "I said that boy must have guessed everything correctly before he dared to enter the hole..."
Next, Di Chu told Pu Junxiong what he had just thought. He thought that when Chai Yan entered the cave, the male lion had already died, and the female lion was in a comatose state after being hit by a blow dart. Therefore, Chai Yan could not
He went in at the right time and moved out the lioness, which was not a threat to humans. As for the battle with the lioness that he vividly talked about, it never happened!
Pu Junxiong thought about it carefully and realized that there were no obvious wounds on the lioness' head. Chai Yan's strength was frightening. How could such a heavy punch not leave any traces?
But then Pu Junxiong became puzzled and asked: "Old Di, I'm wondering, how do you think Chai Yan knew that the male lion was dead? Could it be that in addition to calculating the evil position, he could also predict life and death?
?”
"this......"
Di Chu immediately fell into thinking, and said with a serious expression for a moment: "It seems that Chai Yan is indeed outstanding! Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince would not have ordered the Hang Secretary to bring him here..."
Pu Junxiong nodded, thinking it was a good thing he came, otherwise a group of us would still be wandering in the dense mountains right now!
