Chapter 148 A Big Mistake
"Where is the tiger? There is no tiger!"
As soon as they heard that a tiger had entered the village, there was a sound of chairs being pulled away in the office, and several village cadres inside were so scared that they stood up.
Uncle Lan didn't think much about it. He asked someone to gather the young and strong villagers, and then he picked up a hoe and trotted to Lan Xin's house.
Seeing so many people gathered here, he suddenly became anxious and shouted quickly.
"You are courting death. How dare you come here when there is a tiger? Where is Lan Xin? How are the two children? If they are injured, send them to the hospital immediately!" Uncle Lan's eyes were red. He slapped his thigh and shouted in agony.
He didn't dare to think about how two little kids like Yingying and Yueyue escaped from the tiger's mouth, how seriously they were injured, and whether other people were hurt.
As Uncle Lan shouted, he noticed the strange looks from the villagers surrounding him, but when he saw their indifferent expressions, he got angry.
"Did you hear me? What are you doing here?"
Looking at the emotional Uncle Lan, the others immediately understood that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They looked at him with red faces.
Finally, there was someone who was on good terms with Uncle Lan who quickly stopped him and said hello.
"Dali, stop yelling."
"Lan Yuan, why are you holding me? Why are you running out here with your weak legs? If a tiger chases you, can you outrun it?"
Uncle Lan didn't realize anything was wrong, or perhaps he was too responsible and was on edge, alert to the appearance of the tiger. He was thinking about what to do and how to save the villagers, and didn't pay attention to other places.
"Hey, keep your voice down. You should thank me for holding you back." Lan Yuan muttered softly. As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong smell from his mouth sprayed into Uncle Lan's nose.
"What's there to be thanked for?" Uncle Lan turned his head away, avoiding Lan Yuan's big mouth. "I'm busy, I don't have time to argue with you."
"What the hell? I'm telling you, there is no tiger. Who told you there was a tiger?" Lan Yuan really regarded Uncle Lan as a good friend and didn't want to see him, an elder and a cadre, being treated like a monkey.
"No tigers?"
After hearing what Lan Yuan said, Uncle Lan looked around carefully again. He saw these people turned sideways, but the eyes that looked over from time to time did not show any signs of danger or panic. Uncle Lan also understood.
He stood up straight, pulled free Lan Yuan's hands that were binding his body, and asked while awkwardly smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"This has to start with your niece, your third brother's daughter Lan Xin. Didn't she go to Shanghai before? She and Lan Qing took photos with tigers in some zoo. The postman just delivered them here. The villagers have never seen a tiger, so they all came over to see it, didn't they?"
Lan Yuan was one of the first people who followed the postman to see the tiger photos, and he knew best what had happened.
Hearing that it was a photo of a tiger, and not that a tiger had entered the village, Uncle Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked with a gloomy face, "Then why did I hear that a tiger had entered the village and injured Yingying and Yueyue? Who spread this lie?!"
Uncle Lan shouted angrily, and the nearby villagers looked at each other but didn't dare to say a word.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, who is so stupid to spread such rumors, even saying such a horrible thing as a tiger entering the village.
You have to know that their Lanjia Village is close to the mountain. The mountain is deep and there are many places that people have never been to. In previous years when there was drought, there were also cases of wild boars running down the mountain. In this sparsely populated area, what if there really are tigers? What if they are persuaded by the crow's mouth to run down the mountain?
Someone immediately stood up, ran to Uncle Lan, and handed him the photo in his hand.
He whispered, "Grandpa, this is a photo of a tiger, there is no tiger."
Uncle Lan took the photo. It showed Lan Xin, Lan Qing and the others grinning so hard that their teeth were showing. Behind them, one could see a striped tiger yawning with its mouth wide open. It was really scary at first glance.
Seeing that it was really a photo of a tiger, and not a real tiger, Uncle Lan was completely relieved. He cursed with a dark face, "Just this photo of a tiger has spread rumors throughout the village that a tiger is coming. Who spread this rumor? Don't they know it will scare people to death?"
"Okay, everyone disperse and go home. I will investigate the rumors spread today. How can people eat randomly and spread random words?" Uncle Lan said sternly, his eyes sweeping around like a knife.
The villagers standing by didn't dare to say much. After being glanced at by Uncle Lan, they all shrank their necks and ran away quickly.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving first."
"Uncle Dali, I'm going home now."
"I'm going home too."
The last person, the young man who handed the photo to Uncle Lan, reminded him before he ran away: "Grandpa, this photo has to be returned to Aunt Lan Xin, remember to give it back to her." After that, he ran away.
In the blink of an eye, all the people who had gathered near Lan Xin's house, waiting to take turns to see the photos, ran away.
At this time, Lan Fucai, with a group of about ten strong villagers, ran over with farm tools or kitchen knives in their hands, looking aggressive and ready to die.
Lan Fucai trotted over to Uncle Lan, panting a little, and asked around, "Uncle, where did the tiger go?"
Uncle Lan's face darkened as he handed the photo to him. "The tiger is here!"
"What?"
Lan Fucai was confused. He took the photo and his first gaze was on the group of people, then on the big tiger next to them.
"Oh wow, this tiger is really big!" He quickly realized, "This, this tiger that was just passed to the office, could it be this tiger?"
After saying this, his face couldn't help but darken, exactly the same dark as Uncle Lan's.
This caused a huge misunderstanding and I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
“It’s this big tiger!”
"We need to investigate this thoroughly to find out who said this nonsense and caused the whole village to be in chaos!" Lan Fucai said angrily.
"Okay, you guys go back and check first. I'll return the photo to Lan Xin." As he said that, Uncle Lan took the photo from Lan Fucai's hand and walked into Lan Xin's yard.
Lan Fucai immediately went back in a rage, but before leaving, he still left a few people to patrol the village to see if everything was really okay.
As soon as Uncle Lan walked into Lan Xin's yard, he noticed the changes in Lan Xin's yard. Apart from anything else, the lush green bamboo wall was rare in the village.
Lan Xin was busy tending the vegetable garden when she saw Uncle Lan knocking on the door and walking in. She was surprised and asked, "Uncle, how come you have time to come here?"
"Lan Xin, is this photo yours?" Uncle Lan handed the photo in his hand to Lan Xin. Lan Xin took it, took a look and nodded.
