"Aren't people going to Tiger Mountain to fight tigers? That's definitely going to die, I'll prepare hemp rope here first, and wait for people to die and warp, so that they can collect the corpses and come back." Ati did not hesitate to express his frustration.

"Huh?!" Arei was stunned, his mouth wide open.

Yeli heard the sound outside the strings, this is Xi'er to accompany him to Tiger Mountain to fight tigers!

Therefore, he was ecstatic and said: "Xi'er, it's great that you're willing to lead the way for the strange brother! ”

"Oh!" Ah Lei understood, patted his head and said, "I said Ah Mei's words sound weird, it turns out that Ah Mei is going to go to Tiger Mountain with Ah Li! But Ah Mei, aren't you sick with a fever, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to go like this, right?"

"What's wrong? Where do I get sick with a fever?!If you want to go, go early, if you want to die, you will die early!!" Ati had already gone to the door, angrily brushed open Arei, lifted the curtain, went straight into the house, and took out the twine.

In fact, she carried the hemp rope to prepare for the night on the road to guard against the misdeeds of the night, because the distance to Hushan does not know how far, maybe she will have to borrow a night or something halfway, if you can meet someone to spend the night, it is the best; if you sleep in the wilderness, the night leaves to move your hands and feet, it is a little bad. Of course, hemp rope has another purpose, that is, it can be tied to a dead tiger, but this luxury can only be dreamed of.

She walked out of the door with a hemp rope in her hand, glanced at Yeli coldly, and suddenly had a desire to retaliate, and suddenly took the hemp rope according to Yeli's head: "Your corpse rope, you take it yourself!"

Yeli had already felt that Ati was unhappy, so in order to please her, he obediently lowered his head, let the hemp rope around his neck, hung on his chest, and carried a bow and arrow on his shoulder, and held a hunting fork in his hand, which looked very funny.

He looked at himself: "This, this ......."

"What is this...... this?! It seems that you are not happy, right? Not to say that you are not happy, I am not happy! If it weren't for my grandma asking me to accompany you to Tiger Mountain, the ghost would be willing to go!!"

"Blame my brother for not saying that I am not happy, blame my brother for being happy......" Yeli immediately pleased.

"If you like, go quickly, and I'll go to the bazaar and ask Dr. Wuyi for directions to Tiger Mountain." Seeing that Ye Li confessed, Ati pursed his mouth, his heart was extremely sweet, and he went down the wooden ladder first.

Yeli saluted Alei and descended the wooden ladder.

Ah Lei beckoned: "Sister, you haven't had breakfast yet, can you leave after breakfast?"

"Brother: The road is far away, I have to hurry early, I have a lot of dry food in this bamboo basket, and I will eat it on the way. In the past few days, Grandma has been handed over to Brother to take care of. Brother, I'll go first. Ati looked back at her answer and waved her hand goodbye.

Then she walked to the tent door in the same night, opened the tent door, and walked away from the stilted grass hut.

Ah Lei limped to the foot of the tent gate on crutches, and watched the two gradually disappear on the dirt road in the distance, and his heart was full of faint worry, not knowing whether Hushan's trip was a curse or a blessing.

Ati and Yeli walked all the way to the market of Ayi Cottage.

Seeing that Ati was displeased, he just walked forward quickly, and he didn't dare to ask questions when he left at night, so he only followed.

At one time, the two of them came to the market, and the people came and went, and it was very dense, and it was the time of daily trading and busyness.

The villagers in the bazaar suddenly saw Yeli appear, screamed, and fled one after another, as if they had seen a ghost, so that Yeli himself dodged in the crowd, for fear of damaging others, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, it turned out that the matter of leaving the big market on the eve of more than a month ago had been spread in a boiling manner, and the people in the four villages and eight neighbors already knew the existence of this vicious strange man.

The villagers fled in chaos just to make their debut, Ati suddenly quickened his pace and walked away, but Yeli was still dodging left and right in the crowd, avoiding pedestrians, and he didn't keep up with Ati for a while.

Ati walked quickly to the door of a thatched herb shop, and when she saw a fifty-year-old shopkeeper open the door, she greeted her affectionately: "Good morning, Wuyi Abor." ”

"Ah, who??" This fifty-year-old shopkeeper is the doctor Wu Yi of Ayi Cottage, hearing the call, looking back, seeing that it is Ati, he said enthusiastically, "It turns out to be Ati girl, you haven't been to the market for a long time." ”

"Yes, I've been going up the mountain to collect medicine for more than a month. ”

"Uncle has heard from others that that strange man lived in your house, helped you collect medicinal herbs every day, and caught many mountain turtles and pangolins, and your brother and aunt were cured a lot of diseases by him, which is really thankful. ”

"Yes. ”

"Ati, who is that weirdo, why is he so good to your family?"

"Hmm-hmm...... Ati said in deep thought, "He is a distant relative of my grandmother's family, and he knows some medical skills very well, and he came to help when he heard about my brother." When he came, I thought he was a strange person who bullied me, and asked Uncle Curtain to help beat him, and then when I came to my house, I heard my grandmother say this, and I learned that he was a distant relative of our family. ”

"Oh, what a blessing...... Your family has such a good relative. Dr. Wu Yi said enviously, "Ati, I heard that you have made a lot of medicinal materials, if you have extra turtles and pangolins, you must sell them to Abo, these medicinal materials are rare, the curative effect is wonderful, and they can save many people." ”

"I don't have extra turtles and pangolins, and my brother and mother still need to use them. ”

"Then—if you have any other medicinal herbs, you can also sell them to Abel. ”

"No, no...... None of them. Ati shook his hand frequently.

"Oh...... Then forget it. Dr. Wuyi was a little disappointed and said, "Ati, what are you doing in Abo's pharmacy today?"

"I only know where Tiger Mountain is and how to get there, but I don't know at all. ”

"Ahh

"Well, there's ...... And ......" Ati looked left and right, Yeli was not by his side, and was about to get angry but saw Yeli rushing over, so he stretched out his hand and pointed, "And him!"

Dr. Wuyi pointed and saw Ye Li's red hair and white face, with a sandalwood bow on his shoulder, a hunting fork in his hand, and a hemp rope on his chest...... He's going to Tiger Mountain?"

"Yes, I'm going to Tiger Mountain. Yeli finally avoided the panicked crowd and walked in front of the two, finding that Dr. Wuyi's face was full of panic, and he couldn't help but respond in a deep voice, "What's wrong with me going to Tiger Mountain, can't it?"

"No, no, no, no, yes...... Okay, okay, okay......" Dr. Wuyi replied.

"Then please tell us how to get to Tiger Mountain. Ati was worried that the night would frighten Dr. Wuyi, and hurriedly asked for affection.

Dr. Wuyi was afraid when he saw Ye Li, and he wanted him to disappear immediately, but thinking of Ati's safety, he still trembled and explained seriously: "Ati, there are two ways to go to Tiger Mountain:

This first one, after leaving the cottage, has been going west over the mountains and mountains, about forty or fifty miles to reach Tiger Mountain, but no one has walked this road for more than two hundred years, only to hear the old people say that there has been such a road;

The second one, after leaving the cottage, first walk north more than 20 miles along the road by the big river outside the village, and then go west along the mountain road on the east side of the big river, and walk about two or three hundred miles to Hushan.

But Ati, if you really want to go to Tiger Mountain, it's better to take a detour, I'm afraid the road over the mountains and mountains is long gone, and it's easy to go in the wrong direction. ”

"Okay! Let's take a detour! Thank you Abel for showing you the way, goodbye!" Ati greeted happily, straightened the bamboo basket behind him, and was about to walk away.

"Slow down...... Dr. Wu Yi hurriedly beckoned, "Ati, how are you going?"

"Let's go. ”

"Let's go?!, you Ada and the others, all of them are strong hunters, and they all walked for seven or eight days before they reached Tiger Mountain, how many days will you have to walk with your little body? ”

"No, I'm going with her. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that you didn't go to Tiger Mountain, and you will be tired and sick on the way, Abel heard that there is no one within a radius of fifty miles from Tiger Mountain, and when the time comes, you will not be in the village, and you will be in great trouble. Dr. Wuyi kindly reminded.

Hearing this, Ati instinctively touched his forehead, and sure enough, his hands were still a little hot, and the fever had not yet subsided.

Ye Centrifugal Head was also suddenly shocked: Yes, just now Ah Lei also said that Xi'er is sick with a fever, how to walk on two legs, Xi'er is really going to fall ill on the way, wouldn't it be my sin;

After thinking for a while, the scene of He Zixi taking an ox cart to Tatibao suddenly came to mind, and Ye Li asked coldly: "Don't you have an ox cart and carriage here, we can take an ox cart and a carriage to go." ”

"There are ox carts and carriages, but they can't go as far as Hushan, and all the way is full of stone roads, muddy roads, cliff roads, thorny roads, bumpy roads, and very difficult to walk. ”

As soon as Dr. Wu Yi said this, Yeli fell into deep thought, and secretly thought of a solution.

Ati suddenly said excitedly: "Yes! Yes, yes...... I thought of a way, we can go without an ox cart or a horse, but we can go by ox and horse!"

"It's not okay to ride a bull, but it's okay to ride a horse. Dr. Uyi said.

"Well, just ride a horse!" Ati nodded and said simply, "Abel, you can borrow us two horses!"

"Borrow two horses? Arbor only has one horse here. ”

"A horse is a horse, and you can lend us that horse, Abel." "Ati originally wanted to borrow two horses and ride one with Yeli, but now there is only one, and after thinking about it, he can only seek satisfaction with grievances.
