20. Fight the tiger
Zhenshu saw that his smile was very ugly, and immediately withdrew his gaze, and snorted: "Those people just now, they look like they are chasing you." ”
The man spread his hands and said, "How come?" I'm just a hunter, chasing prey, and I just happen to be on the same road as you. ”
Zhenshu said: "But you just said that you led Uncle Zhao to another road." ”
The man was dumbfounded, and hung his head for a while and said, "Hey! Yes, those people are chasing me. ”
Those black-clothed men who fought shortly, looking at themselves not from the government, but they were well-trained, they must be domestic slaves raised by a wealthy family somewhere in Wenxian County.
Zhen Shu was thinking about it, when he heard the man say again: "Do you know that there is a big landlord in our Wen County, named Liu Zhang?" ”
She has heard of this, Liu Zhang is a wealthy family in Wen County, and everyone knows about it within a radius of 100 miles.
The man saw that Zhenshu seemed to believe it, so he said again: "I was his family worker, and the godfather of Master Liu was a eunuch in the palace of the capital, and he rewarded a Luojiang dog from the palace to play with him. I got lost a few times, and it happened that I drove the sheep into the pen there, and his housekeeper accused me of stealing a little poodle. Naturally, I didn't recognize it, and I couldn't bear it and ran out, and Master Liu sent dozens of people to chase me all over the mountains. ”
Zhenshu heard the gods, looked up and asked, "But for a dog?" ”
The man nodded, "Exactly." Ordinary people can't keep that dog, and raising it is a felony to kill the head. He can only raise it if the royal palace gives him to raise it. If it is smuggled to the black market, a dog worth a few thousand taels of silver. ”
Zhenshu was suspicious when he heard his talk, and said tentatively: "If you are just a long-term worker, a few thousand silver can be regarded as a great fortune." ”
The man waved his hand and said, "A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a proper way, I am an honest person, and I will never do that kind of thing." ”
Seeing that he had been sitting on the hillside for a quarter of an hour, Zhenshu was indeed a handful and did not look at him indiscriminately, and he believed him in his heart, and asked, "Then do you have a place to go now?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "I can't go back to home, I can only take one step at a time." ”
Zhenshu moved to his side, and said with his hand: "I don't know if I can ask the eldest brother to give the little girl a ride, and when you go to the other side of the mountain, the little girl will ask her mother to thank you again." ”
The man moved a little farther away, waved his hand and said, "Thank you for not needing, now you are in this deep mountain, but any man should give you a ride, just ......"
"Just how?" Zhenshu asked.
The man pointed to the official road and said: "Now those house slaves don't know if they have dispersed, but there must be people squatting on the official road. ...... in the sense of small people"
"How?" Zhenshu asked again.
The man pointed his finger at himself and said, "If the girl believes me, I know that there is a path, and if we hurry up at this time, we will be able to get out of this Wuling Mountain at dawn at most." I'm afraid my sister won't believe me. ”
Zhenshu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't make a decision, so he changed his words and asked, "I don't know the eldest brother's name?" ”
The man grinned again: "You don't have to have a surname, the small people's surname is Lin, and the name is a big fish." ”
Zhenshu asked curiously: "But Yu Yu who controls the water?" ”
The man smiled and waved his hand, "Where do you dare to be as famous as the Holy Monarch?" It is a fish that is a big fish in the water. You can call me Brother Big Fish, that's what everyone calls me in the township. ”
After a question and answer, Zhenshu saw that his answer was simple, and he gradually felt trust in his heart, and pointed to his leg and said: "My leg, looking at it, is only a little broken, and it doesn't bleed much, but I can't use any strength at all, and I can't walk." Can you bother my eldest brother to break a stick for me so that I can hold on? ”
Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, Lin Dayu approached Zhenshu's leg and looked at it for a long time and said, "You stretch your legs again." ”
Zhenshu stretched and bent according to his words.
After reading it, Lin Dayu said, "Can you allow me to press it, or can I treat it for you." ”
Zhenshu nodded slightly, and Lin Dayu hugged his fists and said, "I offended the girl." ”
He only stretched out his five fingers and pressed around her knee, Zhenshu snorted softly in pain, and shrank his leg back, he stretched out his other hand and grabbed her calf, and then pressed the knee with one hand, one hand slowly turned the knee, and the other hand grabbed the calf, and both hands slammed hard. Zhenshu almost fainted in pain, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body, and when he stretched his leg, he realized that this leg was actually conscious.
Lin Dayu said: "It's just a dislocation, and now it's fine." It's just that you can't walk much these days, otherwise I'm afraid of becoming an inertial dislocation. ”
Zhenshu picked up and stood up, and tried to take two steps, and sure enough, except for the slight pain on the broken skin outside, there was no tearing pain in the leg bones. She took two steps back and knelt down and said, "Thank you Brother Big Fish for saving me." ”
Those who have not passed through cannot understand the helplessness and fear after a broken leg.
Lin Dayu helped her up and said, "But for the effort, what is there to thank you?" If you want me to send you, please don't be surprised, I'll carry you on the path and send you to your mother, okay? ”
At this time, Zhenshu had already believed in him, and besides, the four fields were desolate, and if he didn't go with him at this time, there was a better way there, which was to still shake the willow sapling and said, "Can you ask Brother Dayu to break it for me?" ”
Lin Dayu said: "It's not easy for it to grow from a seed to the way it is now, why do you have to break it?" As long as you don't hate me, I'll carry you on my back, how about it? ”
Zhenshu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, I can go by myself." ”
She tried to take two steps down, but she couldn't see it in the shadows, and she was about to fall down when she stepped into the air, but fortunately, Lin Dayu stayed behind her, grabbed her and helped her to the official road, and knelt in front of Zhenshu and said: "Come on, I'm just a long-term worker, I know that my status is low, and I don't want to be a thin girl, but I just want to help you when you are in trouble." ”
He said it to such an extent, how could Zhenshu still refuse. She bent down on his back, put her hands on his broad shoulders, and before she could think about it, Lin Dayu got up and stood up, jumped off the official road with her on her back a few steps, picked a shallow place to flow across the river, and walked along the reeds to the other side of the mountain.
Lin Dayu often walks on mountain roads, throwing off his strides in the moonlight, although he is carrying a woman, he still walks briskly like flowing water. Zhenshu got up early this morning and had breakfast and had been on the way with the carriage, and for lunch he had just eaten some dry food in a roadside teahouse. At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and it must be almost the time of the child. She watched the black pressure on both sides of the trees and the stars shining in the sky, and gradually took a nap in the rhythmic steps of Lin Dayu, and she didn't know when she bowed her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept, and in her dream she repeated the scene of being thrown by the carriage, crying uncontrollably. was crying, suddenly sobered up, raised his eyes and looked around to see the bright appearance of the four fields, looked down and saw that he was still crawling on Lin Dayu, and Lin Dayu was standing motionless, so he lowered his head and called softly: "Brother Big Fish......"
"Shh Lin Dayu said softly: "Don't move, don't speak." ”
Zhenshu didn't know what was going on, but he also closed his mouth, lowered his head and rubbed his cheek on his clothes, seeing that half of his shoulders were sticky and greasy, and he wiped his mouth to realize that it was all saliva in his sleep, and he felt even more embarrassed in his heart, and whispered in his ear: "You let me down." ”
Lin Dayu slowly turned his face sideways, his lips were almost on her face, and he frowned and whispered, "There's a big worm there." ”
Although he was born in the countryside, the tiger Yu Zhenshu is just a beast on the New Year's painting from childhood to adulthood.
She followed his gaze, and now the sky was faintly bright, and she saw a faint grayish spot in a waist-deep bush in the distance. She was terrified in her heart, her body trembled slightly, and she tightened her hand around Lin Dayu's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "You put me down, let's run together." ”
Lin Dayu still turned his face slowly, and said softly: "No, it's extremely fast, we can't outrun it." ”
"So what?" Zhenshu asked.
Lin Dayufu turned his head again, and his lips were almost on Zhenshu's ears. After a while, he said lightly: "I can only wait like this to see if I can force it back." Or ......"
Zhenshu suddenly came to his senses and said, "You mean you've been standing for a long time?" ”
Lin Dayu tightened his hand holding Zhenshu and said, "We have been facing each other since we found out that it was there. ”
Although Zhenshu has never been there, he also knows that the situation is in crisis at this time, and he only hopes that Lin Dayu can come up with a better way to avoid this beast. In Chenjia Village, on the edge of Caijia Temple, there was a peasant woman who went out to farm alone, and once called a wolf to bite her face, although she was later found to drive away the wolf and pick up a life, but half of her cheek was bitten off by the wolf, and her appearance was terrifying, and Zhenshu will never forget it after seeing it once. If this big insect is asked to bite itself to death and gnaw on the bones of the corpse today, this life will really be bent and bent, and death will not be visible.
She also stared at the bushes, and gradually saw the shape of the tiger, although the sky was still dark at this time, she could also see that its fur was bright and smooth, and it must be a beast of prey in full adulthood. Looking down at her waist, she dragged a long tail, the thickness of her fist.
Lin Dayu slowly turned around and said, "I can't dodge, it's going to attack." ”
Zhenshu asked, "How do you know?" ”
Lin Dayu didn't answer, and slowly let go of his hand and told Zhenshu to slip down, while saying: "When I count to three, you run, you can only run behind me, not left or right, remember?" ”
She can't help him or protect herself, but now only staying away is the greatest help to him.
Zhenshu nodded slightly: "Okay! ”
Before she finished speaking, Lin Dayu completely let go of her hand and put her on the ground, and yelled, "Run!" ”
At this moment, the tiger in the bushes jumped up and pounced in an instant.
If he hadn't seen it in person, Lin Dayu would never have imagined that a tiger that was only four feet long would have such a fast speed and tension, not only was it incredibly fast, but the force it carried when it pounced was like a landslide. If he had rolled away at this time, the battle would have been much more favorable to him, but unfortunately the little girl he picked up halfway was still running for his life behind him. If he dodges, the tiger will pounce on her again.
Before Lin Dayu thought about it, the tiger had already pounced with a long roar, he aimed and swung his fist out and smashed it directly on the tiger's forehead, and he was also shocked by the tiger and fell backwards. And the tiger was already spreading all its claws, and the whole thing pounced on him.
Zhenshu heard the roar of the tiger behind her, frightened and cold, and ran forward a few steps, and finally felt relieved that she could not go down to Lin Dayu, she remembered that she had read in the book that the tiger could go into the water, but it could not climb the tree. Although her leg was connected yesterday, after last night, the whole right leg from ankle to thigh was swollen, and the swelling pain was unbearable, and if you want to run at this time, you can't run away, if you want to escape it, it is better to endure the pain and climb to the tree.
Although she has reached the end of her life, she has not lost her age to climb the wall and climb the tree when she was a child. At that moment, he took off his two shoes and put them around his waist, found a straight and high pine tree, jumped and hugged it, and grabbed the tree with the soles of his feet and climbed up.
