When the tiger saw all of them, it became frightened and started to back away, because one tiger couldn't fight against 30 to 35 people. The tiger, feeling hopeless, eventually left.
After the tiger was gone, the girl climbed down from the tree and said something to her people about the boy, but he couldn't understand what she meant. The girl then gently placed her hand over his face.
At that time, white-skinned people were very rare, and since the boy (MC) was fair and handsome, the girl was mesmerized by his beauty. The villagers carried the boy in their arms and took him to their village. The girl offered him a cooked deer leg to eat.
In their village, there was a tradition: if a girl gave a man a piece of deer leg, it meant she was proposing marriage. If the man ate it, he accepted the proposal; if he didn't eat it, it meant he refused to marry her.
The boy didn't know about this rule — and even if he did, he wouldn't marry her. When the girl gave him the deer leg and he was about to eat it, a tiger suddenly attacked again. Everyone ran to their homes to bring weapons, while the girl grabbed the boy's hand and started running.
