Chapter 493 Zheng Pengcheng's Lies
The villagers who were originally chopping wood and picking up mountain products on the mountain were frightened when they heard the first tiger roar. The tiger roar was so close, obviously not far from the outskirts of the deep mountains. The villagers no longer cared about chopping wood and picking up mountain products, and immediately picked up their things and went down the mountain.
As the tiger roars came one after another, those who had not paid much attention and thought that the big cats were hunting in the deep mountains and would not run to the outside, and that it was safe for them to move around here, were also frightened and quickly packed up and went down the mountain.
Many villagers met along the way.
"Hello, did you hear the tiger roar?"
"I called out so many times, how could I not hear it?"
"Do you think this tiger won't run to the periphery?"
"That shouldn't be the case. At this time of year, there is no shortage of food in the mountains. On the contrary, there are fewer animals outside the mountains. Why would it run to the outside?"
"But the tiger's roar is getting closer and closer to us, how do you explain it?
Do you think someone went into the mountains, provoked the tiger, and led it here?"
"Who doesn't want to die and go to provoke that thing?"
"Who knows.
Let’s go down the mountain quickly and inform the villagers so that everyone can be careful.
Don’t let that guy go down the mountain and hurt anyone.”
"You're right. Let's go down the mountain quickly and tell the captain."
Liu Jingxue stopped poking the kitten after the big cat returned to the little cat.
The two cats met and chatted happily, but unfortunately Liu Jingxue couldn't understand what they were saying. However, looking at the angry look of the kitten, she was probably complaining to her mother and wanted the big cat to teach her a lesson.
The big cat sniffed carefully, but did not find any other smells around or on the kitten's body. It didn't understand who had hurt its cub.
Unable to find anyone, but knowing that his cub didn't know how to lie yet, the big cat was worried about leaving it alone here, so he carried the kitten back to the place where he fought with Zheng Pengcheng.
After sniffing left and right, the big cat couldn't find the direction the four-legged beast had left. The big cat meowed a few times to vent its frustration, then turned around and walked back and forth with the kitten in its mouth, apparently going back to the cave.
Liu Jingxue was worried that the tiger would run to the outskirts of the mountains in the future, so she placed a restriction in its mind before it left, preventing it from leaving the mountains and running to the outskirts.
After Liu Jingxue was sure that the big cat had run far away and would not return halfway, she quickly caught up with Zheng Pengcheng and followed him down the mountain.
When she swept her spiritual sense over, she found that there was no one on the mountain. The villagers had long been frightened down the mountain by the tiger's roar.
Zheng Pengcheng held his broken arm and ran down the mountain, enduring the severe pain. The broken arm was still bleeding. Liu Jingxue was worried that he might lose his life from excessive blood loss.
Fortunately, the animals outside were frightened by the tiger's roar and hid themselves. Zheng Pengcheng did not encounter any danger along the way and went down the mountain smoothly.
The team leader had already arranged for people with weapons to guard several roads leading down the mountain from the production team to prevent the big cats from running down the mountain and injuring the villagers.
Even the captain himself, armed with a weapon, was guarding the largest exit in person.
Zheng Pengcheng stumbled all the way down the mountain and happened to choose that exit.
Many people who were guarding there saw Zheng Pengcheng running down and witnessed his miserable condition.
The first time he saw the captain, Zheng Pengcheng immediately asked for help, "Captain, save me.
Take me to the town hospital right away and see if my hand can be reattached."
"Zheng Zhiqing, what happened to you? How did you get yourself into this state?"
"Zheng Zhiqing, you ran into a tiger and had your hand bitten off, right?
You are really lucky to have escaped from the tiger's mouth."
Without waiting for the team leader to answer, the villagers asked Zheng Pengcheng one after another.
The voices were so chaotic that the captain's questions were drowned out.
The captain shouted, "Shut up first, let me ask Zheng Zhiqing."
When the villagers heard the captain calling out, they all stopped talking and waited for the captain to question them.
"Zheng Zhiqing, how did you get this injury?"
Zheng Pengcheng would definitely not tell the truth, he lied, "I was cutting wood in the mountains and heard a tiger roar. I was worried that the tiger had gone to the outskirts and was hurting the villagers, so I went to check.
When I arrived at the place where the tiger's roar came from, I found that the tiger had indeed moved to the outskirts. I was worried that it would continue to move out, so I wanted to drive it back.
I didn’t expect that it was because I was too careless and not well-trained that I failed to defeat it and it bit off my hand.”
Zheng Pengcheng endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, although I overestimated my own abilities, I also did this for the production team.
If I broke my hand, the team couldn’t just ignore me.”
Zheng Pengcheng said this for his future plans.
The family situation is not good now, and he doesn't know what will happen to him in the future. His path to military service is probably blocked. He won't be able to pass the political review, not to mention that his right hand is broken now.
Although he said he wanted to go to the town hospital to see if he could reattach his hand, he knew that it was impossible with current medical technology.
But it was impossible for him to find a job in the city since his right hand was broken.
At the moment, it seems that the best outcome for him is to stay in the Red Star Production Team for the rest of his life.
Since he was going to stay here for the rest of his life, his previous arrogant attitude of ignoring others would no longer work. He must get on good terms with the villagers.
But he knew that he had done a lot of wrong things before, and his impression in the eyes of the villagers had dropped to the lowest level.
If we want to change these bad impressions, we have to do it little by little, and we don't know when we will achieve the desired results, so we have to take drastic measures.
It would be better for him to say that the incident of his hand being bitten off by a tiger was a case of him fighting off the tiger for the production team, so that the villagers would owe him a huge favor and would have to respect and flatter him in the future, otherwise they would be ungrateful.
This was the idea he came up with when he was running all the way back.
The captain frowned, he felt that Zheng Zhiqing was not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others.
Given his previous attitude towards Fang Dong and Chen Jiaojiao, if he encountered trouble, he would have just run away by himself, let alone fight off the tiger for unrelated villagers.
"Zheng Zhiqing, are you sure you got this injury from trying to fend off a ferocious tiger coming down the mountain?
You must tell the truth and don't lie to others." The captain said sternly.
Zheng Pengcheng was sure that no one had seen what he did in the mountains, so he said firmly, "Captain, I got this injury because I was fighting the tiger for the production team.
My broken arm is still here, you can't deny it, it's so disappointing."
The chief railway officer's face turned pale, not knowing how to refute.
The other villagers also looked unhappy. They also did not believe that Zheng was injured for the sake of the villagers. However, they did not know the truth of the matter and did not know how to respond to him.
