Himeda's team harvested an adult tiger, shocking the whole village.
No one thought that the now "broken" team could actually do things that other teams with healthy members could not do.
The villagers surrounded Himida and cheered for his achievements.
The old village chief Ji Heng was very pleased and came forward with six elders to express condolences.
After a brief welcome ceremony, the old village chief and six elders came to the stone platform again.
"Next, please Ji Tian and Ji Hu come forward." The old village chief spoke.
At this moment, the villagers automatically made way for the two of them, and a fan-shaped area was formed on the stone platform.
Himeda stepped forward with his head held high.
At the same time, the man named Ji Hu, who was covered in scars and had a strong body, also walked up, but his expression was very ugly.
After the two stood still, the old village chief spoke again: "The bet agreement between you two has been announced today. Does Ji Hu have any objection to the result of the bet?"
Ji Hu's fist clenched loudly, and he glared at Ji Tian. But the big tiger was right next to him, so he couldn't deny it, so he had to nod and admit.
"Do the villagers have any objections to the outcome of the bet between Ji Tian and Ji Hu?" The old village chief said every word with a calm and dignified tone.
The villagers whispered, but in the end no one expressed a different opinion.
Then, the old village chief asked the six elders in a low voice, and everyone had no different opinions on this.
"Okay, since everyone has no different opinions, then, the gambling agreement between Ji Tian and Ji Hu..."
As soon as the old village chief said this, Ji Hu, who had been secretly forbearing, interrupted with dissatisfaction: "Village Chief, I have something to say!"
The old village chief was not angry when his speech was suddenly interrupted. However, he stared at Ji Hu with sharp eyes and said solemnly: "I have asked for your opinion before, and you did not raise any objection to it. According to the rules, now,
It should be the time to implement the results of the gambling agreement. At this time, what do you want to say?"
Although the old village chief's words were not serious, they still contained a strong sense of reproach.
However, Ji Hu twisted his head and did not flinch.
Ji Hu spoke: "Brother Jitian's team defeated an adult tiger today and won the gambling agreement. But there is something I don't understand. The gambling agreement started thirty sunrises ago. For so long,
Himeda's team can only hunt some hares, wild dogs, and at most some wild boar prey."
"This is enough to show that their overall strength is indeed the weakest among our team. But today, they captured an adult tiger, and it happened just after Lu Xiaolin arrived. Isn't this a coincidence?"
The old village chief's eyes were blazing: "What do you want to express?"
Ji Hu suddenly pointed at Lu Xiaolin, looked at Ji Tian and said: "I have thought about the combat effectiveness of Brother Ji Tian's team, and it is impossible to capture an adult tiger. Even with the help of a newcomer like Lu Xiaolin, it is absolutely impossible.
So, I think there may be suspicions of cheating."
Ji Tian glared at him angrily: "Ji Hu, you actually doubt us?!"
Ji Hu's words naturally caused an uproar.
People in Shuiyuan Village attach great importance to the fairness and seriousness of gambling. During the execution of the gambling agreement, once someone is found to be irresponsible for the results or cheating, they will be severely punished and will most likely be punished for the rest of their lives.
I can't hold my head high in Shuiyuan Village.
Ji Hu's suspicion made Ji Tian, who had always been quite prestigious in Shuiyuan Village, furious.
The old village chief Ji Heng suppressed everyone's words and looked at Ji Hu very seriously: "Ji Hu, you must be responsible for what you said. So, tell me your opinion. Why do you suspect them of cheating?"
Ji Hu didn't squint his eyes, ignored the opinions of others, and said righteously: "Yes. We all know that among the four strong men in Shuiyuan Village, there is Brother Jida. But overall, he only ranks fourth. I
It is recognized as the number one in strength.”
"Judging from the hunting ability of the team members, our other teams have 18-20 people, and all of them are strong. Taking my team as an example, there are only seven team members who are slightly inferior to me.
Eight people. Based on such a comparison of abilities, Brother Himida’s team, including newcomer Lu Xiaolin, only has 12 people.”
"So, I don't think that with the addition of a newcomer, Lu Xiaolin, we can capture an adult tiger. Please let the village chief make a clear decision."
The villagers began to talk about it. Obviously, Ji Hu's statement made some sense.
When everyone looked at Lu Xiaolin, they also commented one after another. He looked like a weak young man. One more and one less was not enough to affect the outcome at all.
In this hunting operation, did Himida's team really cheat?
Everyone knows about the gambling agreement between Ji Hu and Himida, and also knows that several other hunting teams have been trying to break up Himida's team.
So now that things have come to this, the outcome is hard to predict.
Village chief Ji Heng glanced at Ji Tian: "Ji Tian, do you have anything to say?"
Ji Tian's muscles all over his body were furious, and he said in a deep voice: "Village Chief, we did not cheat. We indeed obtained this adult tiger through strength. During the battle, my son Ji Kuo was even scratched by the tiger. But really
The person who was making the tiger surrender was Lu Xiaolin, and all my team members can testify that it was him who punched the tiger in the head and knocked it unconscious."
The whole place was in an uproar!
All the villagers' eyes were focused on Lu Xiaolin.
All he received were incredulous looks.
"How is it possible to crush a tiger with one punch? Lu Xiaolin doesn't look like a strong man at all."
"The only person who can crush a tiger with one punch is the village chief in his youth."
The old village chief Ji Heng was also a little hesitant. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think Lu Xiaolin would have such great strength.
At this time, Ji Hu said: "I think there is something wrong with what Brother Ji Tian said. No matter how strong Lu Xiaolin is, he can't break the tiger's skull with one punch like the village chief when he was young. I apply, and the scene and
Little brother Lu Xiaolin competes with each other."
This was a blatant provocation after open suspicion. Of course, it was not directed at Lu Xiaolin, but at Himeda.
Because the "gambling capital" of Ji Hu and Ji Tian's gambling agreement is extremely important to both parties.
Everyone had a heated discussion for a while. After a brief discussion between the village chief Ji Heng and the six elders, Ji Heng asked Lu Xiaolin: "Xiao Lin, according to the rules of Shuiyuan Village, you can accept Ji Hu's challenge or reject it. Now, you can do
Make a choice.”
The villagers did not boo, but from the looks of everyone's eyes, it seemed that they all wanted Lu Xiaolin to accept the challenge.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaolin smiled: "I accept it. But there is one thing, we cannot hurt the harmony, so we should not engage in too large a battle, so as not to affect the strength of the hunting team. To put it simply, I wonder if Ji Hu agrees?
"
Ji Hu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about a simple method?"
