After Huang Laoqi's body was buried, the crowd that had just gathered there dispersed.

The women continued to dig and clean the huge tiger carcass.

Those body parts that did not belong to the villagers were put on a pile of firewood and set on fire.

From dust to dust, we came into this world naked, and now we return to this world.

Zhou Xiaozhou felt inexplicably sad.

Then she realized belatedly that, oh no, she and Ge Meili now knew the secret of Lai'an Village's snake-driving, murder and destruction of bodies. Would they be silenced?

But before she had time to get scared, and before she had time to discuss the matter with Ge Meili in private, she was caught by Wu Sanmei and taken to task.

There was a wooden bucket full of hot water at Wu Sanmei's feet. She used one hand to scoop hot water and poured it on the big tiger, while using the other hand to pull out the tiger's distinct hairs.

"Sister Zhou, this tiger is big and has good fur. Someone in the county bought its hair needles.

It’s just not easy to take off. You have to scald it with hot water before you can pull it off.”

Wu Sanmei had a smile on her face as she spoke. It seemed that the price was not low.

After hearing this, Ge Meili immediately tried it. The tiger hair that she had just tried to pull off with all her strength but couldn't be pulled off, now slipped away from the tiger's body with a light pull.

"It's true." Ge Meili turned around and showed Zhou Xiaozhou a hair she had just plucked.

Zhou Xiaozhou looked at the tiger hair and found it was just as Wu Sanmei said, as thick as an embroidery needle. No wonder it was called a hair needle.

The one in Ge Meili's hand was relatively short, only about five or six centimeters, about the same length as an embroidery needle.

There is a longer one on the beast's body, also of this thickness, but at least ten centimeters long.

Not only does this thing have its own name, but there are also people who specialize in purchasing it. What does that mean?

This shows that this thing is useful!

However, Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't think of what the needle-like hair could be used for. Could he really use it to drill a hole and use it as an embroidery needle?

"Big girl, come here." Wu Sanmei called Zhao Big Girl over and accompanied Zhou Xiaozhou and Ge Meili to pull out the tiger hair needles.

Only then did Zhou Xiaozhou realize that all the teenage girls in the village were doing the same job.

They were now standing on the back of the elephant tiger. Beside her was He Dani. The little girl was very diligent and soon pulled off a lot of them, which were then caught in a small basin by He Qingzhao.

Lin Daiyu was standing at the elephant tiger's butt, and she was also pulling out the tiger's hair needles skillfully.

Her brother was not around, as he was called away by the adults in the family to help deal with the funeral arrangements.

Zhou Xiaozhou also knew the girl standing next to Lin Daiyu. She was Chunhua, who came to the school two days ago and was taken back by her father.

There were a few slightly younger girls next to Chunhua, probably her sisters.

It looks like the whole village has stepped in.

There are people working non-stop on the tiger's body, tail and belly, and of course there are people working on the tiger's head as well.

However, the people in charge there were not women and children, but the strong men in the village, and the few old men who had just arrived.

Chen Dashan, holding a long knife, kept gesturing on the tiger's head, as if he was looking for a place to cut.

The people over there kept discussing, and everyone thought they were right, which made it difficult for Chen Dashan to take action.

"Poke a knife into the eyes, take out the two big eyeballs and cook them. This thing is valuable." A young man with a duck voice was speaking.

"Why poke its eyes when it's already dead? How can it still jump around in such a big hole?" This was the rebuttal from Wu Sanmei's elder brother Wu Dafa.

"The flesh around the eyes is tender, so it's easy to cut." The man with the duck voice was still not convinced.

"The eyeball is too big and it's difficult to take it out of the eye socket." Wu Dafa presented the facts and reasoned.

The boy with the duck-voice voice stopped talking.

"Did you feel the gap between the bones?" Li Jinniu asked.

The uncle had just been beaten up and his face was bruised and swollen, but that didn't stop him from yelling at his son.

Li Dahu was sticking his butt out and searching on the big tiger's head!

Zhou Xiaozhou worked while watching the men do their work, so her hands moved slower naturally. Wu Sanmei had already pulled down several levels of basins before she could barely fill a large ceramic bowl, which made Wu Xiaobao, the kid who was doing the carrying, very resentful.

Zhang Gou'er from next door had already run several times. If I had known, I would not have exchanged seats with Zhang Gou'er and would have rushed to get the bowl and deliver the tiger hair needles to Teacher Zhou.

Zhou Xiaozhou was concentrating on paying attention to what was happening over there and had no time to read Wu Xiaobao's expression.

"Did you find it? You kid, I hope you can't find it!" Li Jinniu was ruthless when it came to attacking his own son.

"Xiao Hai, go up there and kick this embarrassing thing down."

"Okay! Uncle Taurus, just watch!" The man with a duck voice agreed eagerly.

But before he could climb up, Li Dahu above him howled with joy.

"I touched it, I touched it, Uncle Dashan, it's just above my left eye."

The young man named Xiaohai quickly retreated. Li Dashan stepped forward with a knife, aimed at the place where Li Dahu's hand was, and stabbed it in.

The knife entered very smoothly, without any obstruction from the skull. Following the bone gap, Li Dashan cut open the tiger's head, which was as big as a bedroom, just like cutting a watermelon.

The knife was not long enough, and Li Dashan used all his strength, but he could only cut a wound along the bone gap that was as long as a person.

But it was easy to deal with once there was an opening. Seven or eight young men rushed forward with axes, kitchen knives and machetes in their hands.

The cut became bigger in a short while, and Li Jinniu pulled hard enough to pry open half of the tiger's head.

Zhou Xiaozhou took two steps back and secretly looked at the exposed brain structure of the elephant tiger.

The boys also stepped back, wondering what they were waiting for.

"Come out, come out."

"Stomp it to death, stomp it to death."

"The small sea is under your feet."

"Big hair behind you."

"Twenty-two percent, left."

"Da Hu, did you step on it?"

"Ran."

"Sea, sea, on your pants."

"Where is it? I can't see it."

"Haiva, on your back."

"Quick, grab it and throw it down."

"Sea, are you holding on?"

"Step on it."

A few young men over there were lying in a mess, with their heads down, looking for something moving on the ground.

Anyway, Zhou Xiaozhou stared wide open but didn't notice anything on the ground.

Perhaps because she was not close enough, she quietly moved a little closer, but was pulled back by Ge Meili.

"Don't make trouble."

Zhou Xiaozhou heard Ge Meili's warning, but couldn't help but feel curious.

She took two steps towards the tiger's butt, and then three steps towards the tiger's head, each step bigger than the last.

It made Ge Meili's eyes hurt.

"Crush it to death." Xiao Hai, with a duck voice, spoke.

"Don't worry, let Uncle Dashan take a look, is this it?"

"Uncle Dashan, come and see." The dark-skinned boy turned around and waved.

Chen Dashan walked forward and squatted on the ground to look at what Dahai was stepping on.

A circle of people surrounded them, and Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't see anything, which made him feel itchy.
