Chapter 158: Encountering a Tiger in the Mountains and Forests

The emperor consulted with Zhao Pu and several other ministers for a night, and finally decided to personally conquer and quell the rebellion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, before the personal expedition, he ordered the ban on the Fu family to be lifted, so that Fu Yanqing and his nemesis Zhang Wende would defend the safety of Kyoto.

Only Fu Yanqing and Zhang Wende contain each other, and only the two of them will not cooperate with each other, and take the opportunity to usurp the throne by emptying the imperial power.

The logistics of grain and grass were handed over to Zhao Pu to be responsible.

As for state affairs, it is still up to the prime minister and others to make decisions.

Therefore, when Xie Yujiao's grandfather and grandson were still in the mountains, the Fu family had regained their freedom and could walk in Kyoto at will.

Xie Yujiao slept fairly soundly this night, but she was woken up early in the morning by the chirping of various birds, and then saw that her grandfather was roasting something that seemed to be birds.

When the old man heard the movement of turning over, he turned his head and looked, "Yo, are you awake?" Breakfast is grilled, and it's good right away! ”

Xie Yujiao still rubbed her eyes in a daze, smelled the aroma of barbecue, and sighed: "It's so extravagant, grandpa, we actually eat meat early in the morning!" People outside only eat once a month or two, and we eat meat three times a day, which is too much! ”

"Okay, there's still a little water in the bamboo tube, rinse your mouth simply, and start eating! You'll be able to find the water source at noon! ”

"Hey!" As soon as Xie Yujiao heard that there was water at noon, she didn't save that mouthwash, cleaned up, and ate breakfast cleanly.

After breakfast, the two of them and a dog continued to march towards the mountains.

As the old man said, he really found the secluded cave before noon.

It's just that entering that gloomy cave is really unsettling, and I'm always worried that one or a group of fierce beasts will rush out at any time, and even Kufei is honest and doesn't dare to say a word.

Xie Yujiao grabbed the corner of her grandfather's clothes, cautiously, and slowly walked into the cave, the more she walked, the wetter her feet became, and the darker she became.

In the silent cave, from time to time, there is the sound of dripping water, which echoes in the mountain shelter, like dripping on people's hearts, which makes people creepy.

Walking and walking, how could Xie Yujiao feel that she was waiting for others to go underground, she tugged on the corner of her grandfather's clothes a few times, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, are we going underground?" ”

The old man also looked around vigilantly, turned around and whispered: "Well, the waterhole is below, let's be careful, as long as we don't run into the big guy, we'll be fine." ”

Xie Yujiao felt that her little heart was about to jump out nervously, and she followed her grandfather with a good step.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to come to the waterhole that Grandpa had said.

Because she had been walking in the dim cave for a long time, her eyes had adapted to the dimness of the cave at this time, and she saw that the entire waterhole did not have a trace of waves, and it was as dark as a mirror, which made people fall into it if they were not careful.

There had been a long shortage of water in the village, and there was such a big pool in front of them, she wished there was a spell that could move the pool back.

But now the main thing is to take a good shower, even if it is a cold shower.

"Grandpa, can I just take a shower right here? It's tiring and troublesome for us to go out on our backs, so I should be fine if I move faster here, right? ”

"Okay, what about the curtain you brought, I'll set it up for you, stay away from the pool, so as not to accidentally slide down, and then you can't save it, I don't know how deep this pool is!" The stone was thrown and there was no movement. ”

The old man made the curtain for her, told her to be careful, and carried two jars, one large and one small, to carry water for the little girl.

Kufei was also left by the old man in Xie Yujiao to play an early warning role.

Xie Yujiao was very embarrassed to let her grandfather run four times before she was satisfied and said that she had washed it.

She hasn't taken a serious bath for more than a month, and today is a happy time, although the water is a little cold directly on the body, but it is rare to be able to wash the dirt on the body well, and sweep away the sour smell all over the body.

Kufei and the old man were not as troublesome as Xie Yujiao, one poured water on the shore, and the other fluttered directly in the pool.

They took a bath much faster, and they were done in a while.

In order to leave this place where danger would happen at any time as soon as possible, Xie Yujiao and the old man both wore wet hair, carried a can of water on their backs, shouted Kufei, and walked out together.

Because they were carrying water, they had to work much harder to return than when they came.

When I walked out of the cave, I was already tired and kicked.

In addition, the mountains are full of thorns, which is relatively difficult to walk.

The old man saw that the little girl was tired enough, so he decided to stay away from the cave and find a place to rest first.

He looked around, then stared in one direction, suddenly his pupils shrank, and he reached out and pulled his granddaughter, "Shhhhh ”

Kufei also sensed danger at this time, hunched his back, and let out a low 'woo' roar from his mouth.

The old man touched Kufei's back, signaled it not to make a sound, and then helped put down Xie Yujiao's back basket, and he also put down the back basket on his back, and carefully pointed to a big tree not far away that was easier to climb.

Xie Yujiao knew that her grandfather was an old hunter, and when she saw that her grandfather looked so nervous, her grandfather must have discovered that some beast was approaching, and now all she had to do was follow her grandfather's instructions and climb up the tree.

This mountain forest, far away from the people, there are many big trees in the mountain that a few people can't hug together, the branches are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun.

As long as they climb high enough to prevent the beasts on the ground from discovering their tracks, they can safely dodge.

Xie Yujiao didn't know what fierce beast her grandfather had found, and her little person was anxious about the towering tree that had no strength to climb, for fear that the beast would suddenly pounce on them.

Fortunately, the old man brought all the things, tools and ropes for climbing the trees.

That's where it comes in handy.

The old man first went up the tree himself, and then asked the little girl to tie the rope around her waist, and he pulled the person up from the tree, and then slowly climbed to a high enough branch one by one, and sat on it and looked down.

Xie Yujiao can see clearly what kind of beast it is, and her grandfather has changed color.

It turned out to be a big tiger, she didn't know what kind of tiger it was, but she saw that this tiger was huge, and it was slowly going to the cave, apparently to drink water.

Xie Yujiao heard her grandfather say, "I see." I also said why I didn't see any animal tracks, feces and the like nearby, it seems that this area is the territory of this tiger, and other animals dare not come. ”

"So what do we do now? Do you have to wait for the tiger to go down? Xie Yujiao watched the tiger walk slowly, wishing that someone would give it a whip to make it run faster.

It was already dark early, and seeing that the sun was slowly slanting to the west, if they didn't get out of this dangerous area while it was dark, the night would be full of uncertainties.

The old man also looked up and judged the time from the sunlight spilling from the leaves, nodded and said, "I can only wait for the tiger to leave, and try to beckon Kufei to come back." If Kufei comes back, it means that it is safe, and if Kufei does not dare to come back, it means that the tiger is still nearby, and we can't go down. ”
