Seeing the sun slowly setting in the west, the tiger drinking water had not yet come out of the cave. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Yujiao said to her grandfather worriedly: "Could this tiger have bathed in a waterhole and then fallen asleep again?" Why hasn't it come out yet? ”

The old man stared at the entrance of the cave and replied to her with a good eye: "Maybe, if it really swims in the water, and maybe it really sleeps in it when it is tired of swimming, then it may have to sleep until dark before coming out to feed!" ”

"Huh?"

Doesn't that mean there's a real chance they're going to be trapped in this tree overnight?

"If only I had known to bring our dry food!" Xie Yujiao looked at the two back baskets, one large and one small, not far away.

In the back basket there were not only clay jars filled with water, but also wet clothes that had been changed and washed casually, as well as dry food.

"Shhhhh The old man motioned for silence.

Sure enough, the tiger walked out leisurely, and stood at the entrance of the cave and shook all over, shaking off the water droplets on his body, and then walked in the direction when he came and went with his head held high.

It took two steps, stopped again, sniffed in Xie Yujiao's direction, and walked away again.

"Wow, that scared the hell out of me!" Xie Yujiao patted her little chest, feeling the little heart in her chest pounding.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer!" The old man motioned to her not to worry, and to wait and see.

Sure enough, the tiger that had obviously gone away just now appeared in their sight again, only to see the tiger running back and walking around, sniffing everywhere, and finding nothing abnormal, so it really ran away.

Xie Yujiao's eyes widened, pointed to the tiger that ran without a shadow, and said to her grandfather, "Is this a tiger?" You're all fine, right? Incredible? I actually know how to kill a horse pistol! Smarter than people! “

The old man blew the whistle, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see Ku Fei rushing back.

With the help of her grandfather, Xie Yujiao climbed down cautiously, and slowly fell to the ground with her feet.

In order to get out of this dangerous area before dark, Xie Yujiao didn't have time to be afraid, carried a small back basket, gritted her teeth and insisted on keeping up with her grandfather's footsteps, and finally rushed to the resting place last night before dark.

Fortunately, returning to this familiar place for the night made her feel much more at ease.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up to the sound of a bird's song.

After a brief breakfast, they hit the road.

Because of the heavy loads on their backs, the walk was not as easy as when they came, and they had to spend another night in the mountains before they could get out.

However, fortunately, they had reached the outskirts of the mountain, and it was not as dangerous as the depths, so they relaxed a lot.

Finally, on the fourth day after they left home, they returned safely.

Xie Yujiao went into the mountain to wash thoroughly this time, although she sweated a little when she came back, she felt that it was worth it.

However, when she remembered that she had passed by the tiger, she was still a little afraid, she thought that she would never want to enter the mountain again in the future, her goal in this life was to die properly, but she didn't want to be eaten by the tiger as food.

Carrying water is a hard job, and I don't know how many days I can eat the water I brought back this time.

There is no sign of rain yet, the crops in the field have no hope, this year's autumn harvest can not be counted on, I don't know if the court will care about the life and death of the people.

Sad!

At this time, the village chief was not worried, and was still wondering where the old and young of the Qu family had gone?

I didn't give an explanation to anyone, not even the dogs.

You must know that in the past, when the grandfather and grandson of the Qu family wanted to go out, they had to talk to the Niu family, the Liu family or him, the village chief.

If it weren't for someone from Beijing this time, he wouldn't know that the old man and the young and a dog were not at home.

If you're not in the capital and you're not at home, where will you go?

The village chief has been running to Qu's house every morning and evening for the past few days, just to see if anyone has returned.

It's been three days, and the people haven't come back yet, and I don't know when they'll leave.

Seeing that everyone didn't even have enough water to drink, he still wanted to find the grandfather and grandson to come up with ideas to see how they could find some water for everyone to drink.

In the evening, the village chief walked towards Qu's house again.

Before I walked in, I saw smoke coming out of the chimney of the Qu family.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and actually ran up, but before he reached the door of Qu's house, he heard Kufei's shout'.

"Brother Qu? Thank you? Are you back? ”

The grandfather and grandson were cooking in the kitchen, and when they heard the voice of the village chief, Xie Yujiao jumped out to open the door and welcomed the village chief into the courtyard.

"Ouch, girl, where have you two been these days? I didn't say hello to anyone, scared your village chief and grandfather to death! The village chief saw that this Xie girl was fine, patted his chest exaggeratedly, blamed, and then looked at her carefully, "Fortunately, nothing happened?" I'm scared to death! ”

Xie Yujiao also knew that the village chief was exaggerating, but he was really worried about the safety of their grandfather and grandson, so he explained with a smile: "My grandfather also went to find a water source in the mountains, because the water source is relatively far away, so he has only been walking for so many days!" ”

"Water source? Where is the water source? When the village chief heard that there was water, he immediately worried that nothing existed, and now he only wanted water, and the more water the better.

Old Man Qu was cooking in the kitchen, and when he heard the excited voice of the village chief, he said to him loudly: "Don't you think about it? It took us four or five days to go back and forth, and you just think about how far away is that water? Moreover, the beasts in the mountains are not vegetarians, so we ran into a tiger this time and escaped by luck. Didn't you go to deliver food to the tigers? ”

"Huh?" The village chief listened to Old Man Qu's words, obviously he didn't expect that this water was so far away and he could still encounter a tiger.

He was obviously stunned by Old Man Qu's words, and then asked Xie Yujiao without giving up: "Girl, you always tell the village chief and grandfather, have you really encountered a tiger?" ”

Xie Yujiao nodded and replied seriously: "Yes, grandpa the village chief, that water source is on the tiger's territory, we took the water and ran into the tiger, if it weren't for grandpa's vigilance, we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to come back." ”

"So dangerous?" The village chief listened to Xie Yujiao's words, and his face became solemn.

The village chief slapped his forehead, suddenly remembered something, and said to Xie Yujiao: "Three days ago, a grandson came to Beijing to look for you, he said that he was a proprietor of 'Western-style hamburgers', and this time he came to tell you that Zhaofeng Gongzi's family is all right, oh, and left you a letter with me, when will you have time to pick it up?" ”

Zhao Feng Gongzi? It's Fu Zhaofeng, right? Is the Fu family okay? Has the emperor lifted the ban on the Fu family?

That's a good thing!

The village chief made a final decision and said, "Why don't you go and get it with me now?" I'll come to see if you're back, and since you and your grandfather are back safely, I have nothing to worry about! Let's go? ”

Xie Yujiao also felt that it was still early to eat, so it was better to go to get the letter first, so she said hello to her grandfather and left with the village chief.

The village chief has not been idle along the way, he has been asking about the water source in the mountain, and Xie Yujiao also told the truth about the danger of taking water, as for the decision of the village chief, it is not up to her.

Water shortage is currently the biggest problem facing everyone, and without water, everyone will face the danger of dying of thirst.

If you go into the mountains to get water, you are in danger of being attacked by wild beasts in the mountains.

Whether to wait to be thirsty to death or go into the mountains to fight, I believe that everyone has their own choice.
