The scorching sun hangs high in the sky of the world. The red light shot like a rocket to the ground, and the ground seemed to be on fire.

Transpiration, suffocation, fierceness, and stuffiness, like a brick kiln that has been burned through.

On the rugged and steep mountain road, a man and a woman support each other and walk forward.

"Lady, are you tired.

It's all my fault for being cowardly, or let's go back to the village. The man saw that his wife's eyebrows were dripping with sweat the size of beans, and he said distressedly.

The wife covered the man's mouth with her hand, shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't say that, it's all those people in the village who have taken the initiative to find trouble."

You are weak, and if you really fight with them, you are only asking for your own hardships.

Xianggong, this is not cowardice, this is wise, let's leave the village and go to the city to find a livelihood, I believe we will live a better life.

It's too hot this day, Xianggong, is there still water? ”

When the man heard this, he lifted the gourd on his waist and shook it, "The water is finished, and the water that was just loaded in that river just now has been drunk after walking for such a short time." ”

The wife licked her mouth and said indifferently: "Then forget it, let's continue walking, this deep mountain and wild mountain, if you meet a beast, it will be bad." ”

But the wife's small actions, where can she hide it from the man.

"Lady, you wait for me in the shade of the tree, and I'll go and fill the river with water. After the man finished speaking, he put the luggage on his back on the ground, carried the gourd and ran the way he came.

When he ran, he turned around and shouted, "I'll be back soon, wait for me." ”

The wife stretched out her hand and wanted to call the man back, after all, it was such a hot day, and it was a mountain road, and it was still quite tiring to run back and forth, but the man had already run away.

Seeing the back of the man running while wiping his sweat, a happy smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his wife's mouth.

After finding a big rock, his wife closed her eyes and leaned against the lush tree to sleep.

A slight cool breeze blew the hair on her forehead, drying the sweat beads on her head, and gradually fanning her into a sweet sleep.

There were all kinds of insects and birds chirping all around, and it was very comfortable.

But.

The sounds began to fade away until there was silence.

Two quarters of an hour later......

The man was happily carrying a gourd and trotting on the mountain road.

"Help~"

The voice came from the front, not far away, and it was the voice of his wife.

The man immediately opened his legs and ran forward anxiously.

Get closer, and after another corner, you can see what is really going on.

Is it a bandit, or a beast, or ...... It's a legendary demon and a monster......

While thinking, the man had come to the corner.

"Whew......"

It's a tiger roar!

The man stopped suddenly, holding a gourd in one hand and a mountain wall in the other, and secretly stretched his head out.

I saw a colorful tiger circling around a big tree.

And his wife, who climbed to the branch, clinged to the branch with her hands and feet, and was so frightened that she kept crying and shouting.

What to do, what to do.

The man was afraid of being anxious and wanted to rush out to protect his beloved wife, but reason told him that if he went out, he would definitely die.

That's a big worm, and without a dozen strong men with weapons, it's impossible to compete.

But if you don't go out, will you still be a man?

His feet and stomach were trembling, and the man's heart fell into a battle between heaven and man.

At this moment, the tiger seemed a little impatient, climbed onto the big rock where his wife was sitting just now, squatted down, and waited quietly.

The wife was already so frightened that her face turned pale, and in addition to the heat and lack of water, her mouth was already husked.

"Buddha bless, gods bless, I don't want to be eaten by big insects. The wife closed her eyes tightly and kept muttering.

At that moment, a strong wind blew the hem of his wife's garment, and then hung straight down.

The tiger roared and leaped, its claws hooking the hem of his wife's clothes.

"Ahh

The wife screamed and clung to the branch with both hands.

"Hiss"

The hem of his clothes was torn off with great force, and his wife's feet were pulled off the branches.

The whole person hung from a tree branch.

The wife had already opened her eyes at this time, and her waist contracted hard, trying to put her feet back on, but she didn't have enough strength.

The tiger pulled his claws twice, slotted the strip of cloth wrapped around his claws to the ground, and climbed back onto the big rock.

The wife was already desperate, staring blankly ahead.

Suddenly, the eyes met.

The man was left in a cold sweat, and his mood was extremely flustered.

I wanted to run out to save my wife, but my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and I couldn't take that step.

"Whew!"

The tiger leaped and bit his wife's leg.

I saw my wife scream and fall from the branch.

The man jerked his head back, leaned his back against the mountain wall, and gasped for air.

The screaming stopped.

Then there's the dragging sound.

The man had already burst into tears, clenched his teeth, and did not dare to make a sound at all, for fear of alarming the big worm.

After tea time.

The man's legs could no longer support him, and one leaned forward and knelt on the ground, supporting his hands and crying vigorously.

Little by little, little by little, crawling around the corner.

Stick your head out.

In the distance, under the trees was a long trail of blood, stretching into the forest.

"Ho ho

"Lady, I'm not human, I'm cowardly, I'm afraid of death, I killed you. The man slapped himself vigorously.

Hate!

Hate yourself why you are so afraid of death.

If he was brave in the face of the scoundrels in the village, his wife would not have gone away with him.

You won't meet tigers here.

If you are brave and stand up, you may be able to drive away the tiger and save your wife.

Even if it can't be saved, it's enough for the tiger to eat one person, and as a man, it's good to let his wife survive.

Everything stems from one's own cowardice.

The man blamed himself a lot, and suddenly said with a crazy look: "Lady, I hurt you, I will die with you!"

After that, the man climbed to the edge of the cliff little by little, wanting to jump off the cliff to die.

The mountain road is at the waist of the peak, and the cliff is not high, but a person who falls must be killed, because the man can clearly see that below is a long-dried riverbed, covered with large and small pebbles.

"Huh~Huh~" The man's sweat and tears had blurred his eyes.

The wind on the mountainside was particularly strong, whistling like a cow's roar, even if the scorching sun was high, but being blown by the wind on his body made the man feel a chill.

"Woo woo....... I... I'm sorry for you...... I'm incompetent.... I don't even dare to ..... martyrdom," the man cried cowardly, braced himself with his hands, and sat down on the edge of the cliff.

"Whew!"

"Roar~"

.......

There was a howl of wild beasts in the mountains, and the man immediately stopped crying and looked around in horror.

swallowed his saliva, wiped the tears and sweat on his face with his sleeve, picked up the gourd on the side, staggered up, and prepared to leave.

In a trance, he accidentally stepped on a round gravel, and the whole person's center of gravity was unstable and fell down the mountain.

The picture went black.

........
