Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 167: A Scoundrel Is Always a Scoundrel

In his current state, he couldn’t grapple with the tiger, but if he dared to approach it, he could wait until its bloody mouth opened wide and then hack at it with a kitchen knife.

The mouth is the most formidable weapon of a tiger; as long as it can’t bite, it’s not much to fear.

Next are the eyes, a fatal point—if blind, its ability to perceive is lost, greatly weakening its lethality.

If the kitchen knife could sever its forepaws, that would be another method...

Zhao Jun had trained in martial arts from a young age and was the closed-door disciple of Master Lingxu.

Upon completing his studies, he returned to the Zhao Mansion to indulge in pleasure and inherit the family business.

Though his legs were crippled, his hands remained usable, and his inner strength was still intact.

On the ground, he imagined several ways to kill the tiger.

The tawny Brother Hu was still pacing, unaware that danger was approaching; after leaping one last time and failing to reach, it learned to give up and turned back towards the man on the ground.

Lu He saw this and thought it was going to eat the Eldest Young Master on the ground. In a hurry, she turned around and shouted at it, "Hey, hey, hey, big tiger, if you have the guts, come bite me! Are you conceding?"

She even took out the last wild pear from her pocket and hurled it at the tiger.

With a "thud," it hit the tiger’s body again.

The anger in Brother Hu’s eyes, which had just subsided, flared up once more. It roared and snarled at her, turned, and walked back towards the large tree.

It didn’t realize that Lu He had inadvertently saved his life and hoped it wouldn’t provoke that wicked youth again~

Otherwise, there would soon be a grand performance of tiger slaying.

The tawny Brother Hu lingered under the tree for a while longer, then suddenly heard a tiger’s roar from elsewhere. Reluctantly casting a few glances towards Lu He, it finally departed.

Once it disappeared from sight,

the person wearing a cotton jacket and a cap swiftly climbed down from the tree and jogged over to support the man, a slight smile on her lips, "Eldest Young Master, are you alright? The tiger didn’t bite you, did it?"

She checked all around and fortunately, he wasn’t bitten.

The man sat silently, staring ahead, ignoring her.

Lu He thought he was just speechless, so he didn’t respond to her. Cleverly, she said, "You can use your hands to gesture. I should be able to understand."

Her fingers demonstrated, moving up and down.

She indicated that he could do the same.

Seeing he still didn’t speak, she didn’t push him.

They had to leave quickly, in case the tiger came back~

Lu He stood up and hastily gathered the wild pears scattered all over the ground, placing them in her bundle.

The Young Master couldn’t walk, so she found a moderately sized log for him to sit on. Using a kitchen knife, she dug a hole, tied a rope she brought along to the log, and dragged him along.

Awkwardly, after washing his pants the day before, she hadn’t put them back on him, leaving his lower body exposed.

Lu He blushed for quite some time, shyly running to fetch his pants for him.

Zhao Jun appeared utterly perplexed.

After the tiger’s ruckus, he showed a will to survive instead of expressing suicidal despair or total hopelessness.

This was a good start.

The small figure dragging a man along could be described as moving at a snail’s pace.

The road through the forest was rugged and uneven, occasionally with uphill and downhill stretches, making it even more grueling.

Fortunately, after a day of walking back along the path, they found a silent and secluded cave.

They spent that night there. With the shelter of the cave and the warmth of the fire, Lu He didn’t snuggle up against the Eldest Young Master, who was pampered and spoiled, using the blanket to cover him overnight while she wore all her clothes to keep warm.

Laying leaves on the ground, exhausted from the day’s labor, she fell into a deep sleep.

The wicked youth remained wicked. The next morning when Lu He awoke, she discovered a slain bear and two black snakes...
