Chapter 2 Encounter with the Tiger
Time has entered autumn, it should have been drizzling, but today it ushered in good weather, the sun spilled down from the dense trees, flickering non-stop, a gust of autumn wind blew, even more desolate, just now the younger brother's question, so that Mu Nan's heart was heavy, from the bottom of his heart secretly made up his mind, and one day, he must get out of this valley, no matter how hard, he must go out to see, and I don't know why, I suddenly had such an idea. www.biquge.info But after all, it is a matter of the future, what my father explained must be completed, my father is too hard, and I should not let my father down, Mu Nan pondered, and finally came back to his senses, younger brother, Mu Nan shouted, we still do what our father explained in advance, as for the outside things, I will talk about it later, my father is too hard, we can't be playful, and forget the things that my father told me again and again, when the time comes, my father is angry, I'm sorry for the old man, Mu Nan said something not like what he said at his age, Mu Ziqing listened, and nodded again and again, and the brothers then went back on the road, singing a mountain song that they couldn't understand, and walked towards the mountain with a smile.
The mountain road is very rugged, to say that it is ugly, it is not called a mountain road, because this valley, except for Mu Nan's own family, the brothers have never seen any other outsiders, even if there is not an animal like a man, there is no one to come from the road, they are looking for firewood in the mountains, it should be an easy thing, but they also want to find some delicious wild vegetables, seeds, after all, autumn, is the season when everything is ripe, find some seeds that can be eaten, because my father also brings some home from time to time, while the time is still early, maybe there will be luck to find some, Mu Nan also has his own ideas, if there are many seeds, you can also plant them in the ground in front of the doorWith this idea, thinking about the future life, the motivation will come, suddenly, a gust of wind whistled by, time seemed to stop, the brothers suddenly tensed up, they understood that something was going to happen, and then, the tiger came over, at this time, the brothers understood, the origin of the tension just now, the brothers were very afraid. Mu Nan shouted loudly: "Ziqing, don't be afraid, the more afraid we are, the faster the tiger may eat us, let's retreat slowly, find a chance to run again."
People who live outside the mountains are relatively calm in dealing with the dangers they encounter, perhaps because dangers exist everywhere, and they have this sense of crisis in their bones. It's strange to say, the tiger didn't rush over, but the brothers retreated a little, the tiger went in a little, the brothers retreated a little, and the tiger went in a little more, so the confrontation, Mu Ziqing first saw the clues, Mu Nan thought: What does this tiger want to do, and it doesn't eat us, and it doesn't go, what do you want to do, do you want us to go, under the tiger's mouth, even if it doesn't eat you, it's not a way, if the tiger suddenly changes his mind, it's not dead, it's better to play. The brothers said in unison at the same time: Run, Mu Nan, Ziqing and the two ran out quickly, people said that the twins have telepathy, which is really reflected here, no need to communicate, the two ran out at an angle of 45 degrees, the advantage of running like this is that the tiger cannot chase two people at the same time, that is, at least one of the brothers can survive, it is conceivable that the teenage twin children, what to take against the tiger, can live one, it must be the best choice, when Mu Nan was running, he deliberately slowed down, the tiger was stunned, and chased in the direction of Mu Nan's running, Mu Nan ran slowly The purpose is to let the tiger chase himself, the purpose is to protect Ziqing, when it is confirmed that the tiger is chasing himself, Mu Nan no longer hesitates, Running out with his life, constantly shuttling in the forest, it is an exaggeration to say this, after all, it is a child, how fast can he run, but the tiger is still the same as before, and he did not kill him, but he followed at a distance not near or far, no matter how Mu Nan runs, he can't escape from the range of the tiger's pounce, that is, if the tiger really wants to eat the little wooden man, the wooden man wants to escape from the clutches, it is really difficult, about an hour later, the wooden man really can't run, panting heavily, turned his head to look at the tiger, and said loudly: You big tiger, why have you been following me, if you want to eat me, I think I am long gone, but you don't eat me, and don't leave, I think you should have a picture, you should be a psychic tiger, or your actions can't be like this, the tiger listened to Mu Nan's words, but he grabbed the ground with his front paws, and did not answer him as Mu Nan imagined, at this time, the tiger began to roar, manic, and pounced at any time, Mu Nan knew that the tiger was going to start eating himself, Mu Nan turned around, ran quickly, and suddenly the whole body fell into the air, and kept falling, it turned out that Mu Nan was under the coercion of the tiger, and his attention was only focused on the tiger's body, did not carefully observe the surrounding environment, in fact, he is already on the edge of the cliff, such as in normal times, these places he is still familiar with, when he walks to this place, at least to be cautious or avoid, it is impossible to fall like now, but to be honest, who encounters a tiger is not highly nervous, a nervous will naturally lose judgment, and even have no chance to judge, poor wooden man is like this, falling, maybe there is no scum left.
It is said that when Mu Ziqing was running at the same time as Mu Nan, Mu Nan shouted and ran, and it was self-evident that he was afraid of encountering a tiger, so he quickly ran out without thinking too much, but he didn't expect his brother to deliberately slow down his pace in order to save himself, which caused the tiger to chase his brother, and from the bottom of his heart he felt very guilty, it was his brother who was trying to save himself, maybe he was eaten by a tiger, or his brother would have come to find him a long time ago,
Mu Ziqing ran back to the place where they broke up, and followed the direction of his brother's run to find it, brother, brother, kept shouting loudly, shouting loudly, Mu Nan, brother, where are you, did you hear it, the voice did not echo, Mu Ziqing is now sure from the bottom of his heart that his brother has been eaten by a tiger, or it is impossible that there is no echo at all, Mu Ziqing came to the edge of the cliff and found the tiger's footprints and a boot left by his brother. Mu Ziqing knew that he couldn't find his brother back, so he picked up his brother's boots, carried the firewood they chopped, and went home crying, after returning home, Mu Ziqing told his father everything, tears flowed in his father's eyes, and his mother cried even more to death, or his father was calm and quickly came out of his sadness, his father told Mu Ziqing, we people in the mountains, it is normal to encounter this situation, let's go and see if we can find some of his bones, and bury him as a memorial, Mu Ziqing cried and responded, Okay, father, said, Mu Ziqing followed his father on the road, at this time, the sky had darkened, and it was drizzling, because the day was sunny, After being covered by the rain, it looked even more slippery, and Mu Ziqing was very sad in his heart. But his father told him not to cry, he could only endure it, Mu Ziqing knew that his father was also very sad, he could know from his father's words, his father told him that people who live in this place have no right to choose how to live, only continuous efforts, strong their abilities, fight with the sky, fight with the earth, so that they can get the right to live, or not only the part of being eliminated, Mu Nan is a good child, you will burn more paper to him every year in the future, so as not to prosper the brothers. Mu Ziqing cried, "Okay, I will do it", his father walked in front, pointed to the place in front and asked: Ziqing, is this place, Mu Ziqing took a serious look and found that they had come to the place where Mu Nan fell off the cliff.
Ziqing, my father said: Look at the ground to see if there is any blood.
Mu Ziqing replied; Father, when I was looking for my brother during the day, I had already searched carefully, and there was no blood in this place, and there was no blood in the place where the tiger's footprints were.
It's strange how there can be no bloodstains. Under normal circumstances, whether the tiger eats or walks away in its mouth, it will leave a blood stain. Ziqing, look for it again, and if you can't find any bloodstains, it means that your brother may still be alive.
Hearing his father's words, Ziqing took the oil lamp and slowly looked for it, and his father followed Ziqing's side and kept looking, until dawn he didn't find any corpse left by Mu Nan.
Father walked to Ziqing's side, Ziqing, I can't find your brother, your brother may have fallen down the cliff, Ziqing, there is no difference between falling off the cliff and dying, because under this cliff, no one knows what the situation is, I once threw a stone down, I never heard the echo, I couldn't see the bottom, I couldn't see the other side, even if there was no fog, I didn't see the bottom, you said that you fell, is it possible to live, Ziqing, let's go back, I hope that he Ji people have their own natural appearance and can survive, but Ziqing, we can't go down this valley, all we can do is wait, hope that a miracle will happen。
The father and son hugged each other and cried again, staggering home, no matter life or death, time will not stop because of your behavior, nor will it stop because of your joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, Mu Ziqing spent time, and his brother's disappearance was not like crying when he thought about it at the beginning, but he was still very sad about his brother's disappearance, from his father's analysis, he knew that his brother fell off the cliff, not eaten by a tiger, and did not see the corpse to indicate that his brother may be alive, in fact, since his father analyzed that his brother fell off the cliff, he believed that his brother was alive, why, didn't he say that there was telepathy between the twins, at least the two brothers have this sensibility, he firmly believes that brother, not dead, Mu Nan is not dead. If he died, he must have felt it.
Mu Ziqing wanted to go to the bottom of the valley to find Mu Nan, but he tried many times, from the top of the mountain down is the cliff, only to jump down, which is death, if you don't jump from the top of the mountain, from other places, you can't find this valley at all, Mu Ziqing walked a lot of places, trying to find the entrance into the valley, but he couldn't find it, Mu Ziqing also asked his father many times, other entrances in this valley, his father couldn't say, in fact, Mu Ziqing's father also went to find the entrance, but after working hard for half a lifetime, he couldn't find it or couldn't find it, after a long time, he lost motivation, after all, Ziqing's father is an adult, he has his responsibility, he still has things he should protect。 Similarly, Mu Ziqing also wants to go, but Zisan is gone, as the father's only child, he has the obligation to take care of his parents, if he goes to find his brother, his parents have no one to take care of him, this may also be what his brother wants to do, therefore, Mu Ziqing came up with an idea, looking for his brother must be looking for it, and he will look for it after his parents have been a hundred years, or the knot in his heart will not be opened, let alone a happy life.
