Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1199: Chapter 1200: On Whose Flesh is More

Chiang Xiao ran a distance away, dug a small sand pit in the ground, poured a little Spirit Spring Water into it, and then quickly ran back.

She decided to save the man after all.

If she were to witness his death under the fangs and claws of these wild beasts, it would certainly be a gruesome sight.

Besides, this essentially fell under the jurisdiction of Meng Xinian and his team.

Since the man had fallen into their hands, it was their responsibility to resolve the matter.

Naturally, the Spirit Spring Water would be far more attractive than the single drop that had soaked into the Thin Tall Guy’s clothing.

So, it didn’t take long for Meng Xinian to notice that the tiger, wild boar, and snake that had been in the midst of fighting suddenly scrambled away, this time much faster than before.

Soon, the area returned to tranquility.

If it weren’t for the scattered droplets of blood on the grass, if it weren’t for the obvious wounds on the Thin Tall Guy caused by a wild beast, he might have suspected that he’d just had a hallucination.

”Tomb robber?”

Meng Xinian walked over, grabbed the Thin Tall Guy’s backpack, unzipped it, and his eyebrows immediately rose with intrigue.

He kicked the Thin Tall Guy with his foot, rolling him over, and upon searching his body, he found a sharp knife.

”Quite audacious, aren’t you?”

”Who are you? Aren’t you that girl’s brother?” The Thin Tall Guy, severely injured and pale, gasped in pain. He struggled to sit up, looking at the tall young man with waves of trepidation in his heart.

Though escaping from the jaws and mouths of beasts had given him a huge relief, he subconsciously knew that he stood no chance in the hands of this man.

”Brother?”

Meng Xinian’s mouth curved into a slight smile.

That girl had claimed him as her brother again.

But under these circumstances, could he really hold her accountable?

”It seems your partner abandoned you at the moment of life and death.” Meng Xinian looked around; the other man had already run off without a trace.

But he wasn’t worried. If the man had run down the mountain, his soldiers would definitely be able to catch him. Unless he dared to stay on the mountain.

As he’d guessed, Bearded Man didn’t dare stay on the mountain any longer. Terrified out of his wits, he thought his companion had been killed by the tiger, and ran down the mountain in a frenzy, but was quickly caught by Officer Dai Gang, who was patrolling with his men.

Upon interrogation, Dai Gang learned they had encountered a young girl and a man, and immediately knew it was Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao.

Worried that they might be in trouble on the mountain, he immediately led armed men up the mountain to find them.

Midway, they met Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao, with Meng Xinian escorting the Thin Tall Guy back.

”Officer! Sister-in-law, we heard there were tigers, wild boars, and poisonous snakes. Are you both alright?” Dai Gang hurried to have his men take the Thin Tall Guy away.

”We’re fine, the tiger and wild boar weren’t interested in us,” said Meng Xinian casually, glancing sideways at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao met his gaze innocently, blinking her eyes.

No way, he couldn’t possibly pin this whole thing on her, could he?

Though the situation was certainly bizarre, there shouldn’t be any suspicion on her part.

At that time, she was only worried that Thin Tall Guy would fire his gun upon seeing him, so she had the clever idea to use the Spiritual Spring to attract a few animals to cause a commotion.

How was she to know it would attract a tiger?

”Not interested in you? That’s not scientific,” Dai Gang said, puzzled. ”They were only interested in the skinniest one, who looked the least appetizing?”

The Thin Tall Guy seemed to be the one with the least flesh among them.

”Pfft.”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help it and burst into laughter.

Otherwise, in terms of having more meat, isn’t it Tyrant Meng who looks most appetizing here?
