The cattle of the Chang family's three-room house were sold, and they could only borrow the ox cart of the big house to travel. This is also to take care of Chang Xile, who is afraid that he will not be able to bear walking.

The night before, Grandma Sun called Chang Xile to her room and gave him three pieces of money.

"These two hanging money are left over when you were sick before, and this hanging money is usually saved by my mother, so don't show it to your two brothers tomorrow. Especially against your second brother, he can't hide his words from his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law has a lot of eyes. ”

Chang Xile couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this grandmother really favored him too much. Although he had good intentions, it was not conducive to the unity of the family, and their family had nothing now, so they pointed to twisting into a rope.

Chang Xile turned out to be two hanging money, but pushed back the other hanging money, "Mother, you can take this hanging money, I have these two hanging money." Where do I hide such a big string? ”

Grandma Sun didn't take it, "Tomorrow you take less, it will be enough, you will spend money to read and write, unlike your three elder brothers, and every time you bring back the rice, everyone eats together." ”

"Mother, I really don't need to. Where can the family hide, but it will break the hearts of the brothers. Mother, don't worry, I will tell you if I really need it, you can take the money. ”

Seeing that she was always happy and resolute, she put it away.

The children in the family knew that Chang Xile, Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang were going to the county, and they were also driving ox carts, and they were so happy in their hearts that they were clamoring to go together. But the last one was not allowed to go, saying that there was now a man-eating tiger on that road, and the children could only stop talking. Since they don't often go out with their children on weekdays, they are mainly afraid of trouble and spending money, so they are not disappointed if they can't go either.

Before going out, the grandmother-in-law stuffed ten cents each, and said to Chang Xisheng: "You will remember to go to the city to buy some snacks and sweets and come back, and we will give gifts when we return your uncle's cow." ”

Relatives borrow things and generally don't give money directly, but they still exchange gifts, and they will add something when they return something. In this way, it does not seem to be raw, and it will not always borrow things from people to make people suspicious, especially large items like cattle.

Before Chang Xisheng could speak, Cao's second sister-in-law was not happy, "Mother, you are really partial, giving the same amount of money but only letting Shanzi's father buy things for gifts." ”

Chang Xisheng glared at her, "You talk a lot!" ”

But there was not much condemnation in the words.

Cao's second sister-in-law pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

Grandma Sun was also not happy, "What else do you do in addition to chewing the root of your tongue in a day?" I know it's nonsense, I value the second child's calmness to do this for him. ”

"Then you don't give a few more money...... "Although Cao's second sister-in-law lowered her voice, everyone heard it clearly.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun is really unreasonable, and she is indeed a little biased in her heart, but she can't be said by others.

"Did I give the wrong money? What's the current situation in our family, all this money is cut out of the cracks, if it weren't for your brothers to go out decently, and if you don't panic when you have money in your hands, I won't come out at all! If you are not happy with the second child, don't go, the third and fifth children will go, and there is still a lot of work to be done at home! ”

Chang Xisheng hurriedly said: "Mother, I didn't mean that, it's this mother-in-law who is shallow-eyed." ”

Grandma Sun snorted coldly, "Don't think I'm blind when I'm old, your mother-in-law doesn't mean what you mean, think I'm biased." Now that you're older and have your own mind, you can't even look down on what I'm doing! Do you want to split up?! ”

Chang Xisheng and Cao's second sister-in-law saw that their grandmother-in-law was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to coax them, the ox carts were ready, but there was no way to travel.

Chang Xile had a headache, but he didn't expect to be delayed because of such a trivial matter before departure. In his previous life, his family was wealthy, and he lived alone for a long time, and he never struggled with such trivial things.

Chang Xile didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say: "Mother, it's almost dawn, we have to go." ”

Grandma Sun's face softened a little at this time, "Then you two go quickly, go early and return early, be careful on the way." ”

Grandma Sun didn't let Chang Xisheng go with her, Chang Xile was a little crying and laughing, "Mother, the second brother has to go too." Although I have been in the county, I am not familiar with the things sold outside, and the third brother does not go out often. ”

"Then you go to the lobby brother of the uncle's family, so that some people dislike me for working on him and think I am partial."

Chang Xisheng felt that he was very wronged, "Mother, I really don't think you are biased, it's this mother-in-law who is talking nonsense, why don't you believe it." Simply, I don't want any money, and I give it all to the fifth brother, right? You can't just trouble someone else's house because you're angry with me, it's annoying to be so annoying in the morning. ”

Chang Xile also said: "Mother, the second brother is really indispensable for this matter today." ”

Cao's second sister-in-law also slapped herself and said: "Mother, you see that my mouth is cheap, and I will make trouble, how many times have I been in charge of the family because of this matter." Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry. ”

Grandma Sun softened at this time, but she didn't say that she would not let her go, and went directly into the house.

Chang Xisheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the three brothers were finally able to set off.

Out of the village, Chang Xile handed Chang Xisheng the ten cents in his hand, "Second brother, you take this money." ”

Chang Xiwang also stuffed his own money to Chang Xisheng, "You can buy a string of sugar gourds for my Niuniu in a while." ”

Chang Xisheng hurriedly pushed back, "No, I ......"

Chang Xile interrupted: "Second brother, you can take it, it's not much money, it's too ugly to push around." And you are familiar with the county, and it depends on you where you go in a while. ”

Chang Xiwang also said: "That's it, our mother actually doesn't mean that, it just depends on how reliable you are." I haven't taken any money since I was a child, and I don't like to take it now. ”

Chang Xisheng didn't know what the two younger brothers meant, and he didn't shirk anymore. In fact, he has always been a little unhappy with his mother's partiality, and always feels that his mother has opinions about him, not to mention comparing with the fifth brother, even with the eldest brother and the third brother, but their brother's feelings have not been affected, but occasionally he feels uncomfortable, and he vents it through his daughter-in-law.

But they are all big men, and they don't always talk about such trivial things. There are other things to talk about on the road, and the best topic at this time is the recent man-eating tiger in this fairy child's pass.

Originally, it was not called this name, but it was probably from ten years ago, when passers-by, medicine farmers or hunters passed by here, they would occasionally see a child who looked like a jade doll riding on a majestic tiger. How could a mortal ride on the back of such a ferocious tiger? And it's such a small doll, it must be a fairy child. Moreover, this tiger never hurts people when they see people, and everyone thinks that it is a fairy mount, not a wild animal that doesn't understand anything.

But recently, another tiger has appeared in Fairy Tong Pass, which will take the initiative to attack passers-by, although few people have seen it, but it is enough to make people frightened.

"I wonder if we'll see the tiger today? I've never seen a big insect when I'm this big. Chang Xiwang said excitedly.

Chang Xisheng slapped him angrily, "Why are they all fathers so unstable, what nonsense to say, don't scare the fifth brother." ”

Chang Xiwang smirked and scratched his head, "I'm just talking casually." ”

Chang Xile was curious, "Did anyone really see a doll riding a tiger before?" ”

Chang Xiwang gossiped excitedly, "Then there can be a fake, many people have seen it, I worship Brother Shan, and Lao Li in the east of our village has also seen it with my own eyes." None of them are braggart tellers. But it seems that I haven't seen it in the past few years, and everyone says that the fairy child has gone up in the sky. ”

Chang Xisheng sighed: "If the fairy child is here, there will be no man-eating tigers." I only hope that this news is fake, otherwise it will be even more difficult for our village to go out in the future. ”

As soon as Chang Xisheng finished saying this, a tiger roar came from the deep mountains, which scared the cow into mooing and mooing.

Chang Xiwang glared at the round eyes, "There are really tigers!" ”

Chang Xisheng secretly complained in his heart, praying in his heart that the tiger would not come down on the mountain, while raising the whip to let the old cow run quickly. The ox was also very scared, and was running vigorously, but the speed of the ox was there, no matter how fast it was, it couldn't go anywhere.

The terrifying tiger roar has been continuous, even the good-looking and lively Chang Xiwang knows that he is afraid, this tiger makes such a big noise, it must be difficult to deal with. If it happens, I'm afraid that my life will be explained here. Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang both clenched the firewood knife in their hands, looking vigilant.

Chang Xile didn't expect to be so lucky to meet a tiger, he used to go to school in the county and had to cross this road several times a year, and nothing happened all the time, so he was not very worried when he heard the rumors. Unexpectedly, they really ran into it.

The roar shook the forest, the trees shook, the birds flew out of the forest desperately, and the whole forest told of its fear.

"Why is this sound so alarming?" Chang Xiwang swallowed his saliva, and now he knew that he was scared of his usual stupidity.

Chang Xile has been paying attention to the movement in the mountains, and is a little puzzled: "Why do I think this tiger's cry is a bit miserable?" ”

Chang Xisheng's forehead was full of sweat, "Listen to the voice is getting closer and closer to us, fifth brother, if you really encounter a tiger in a while, you will drive the ox cart to run first." This old cow can't do the big worm at speed, I have a guy with your third brother, and I can do a few when the time comes. ”

Chang Xiwang heard Chang Xisheng say this, and he also had a fighting spirit, "Yes! Don't look back along the way, and remember not to panic and take a fork in the road. ”

Chang Xile didn't expect the two elder brothers to say such a thing, "Second brother, third brother, how can I leave you and run for my life......"

Chang Xisheng interrupted: "Don't think about it, your body is weak, and if you can't help, it will be a burden." I have a lot of strength with your third brother, and I have the strength to fight against that big worm, maybe there will still be life, and we are counting on you to find someone to come and save us. ”

Chang Xiwang patted Chang Xile's shoulder, still looking optimistic, "If you want us to really have something, you remember to go home and help me buy a string of sugar gourds for Niuniu." ”

Chang Xile's throat was sore, if he wasn't sincere to him, how could he do this. Letting one go first is easy to say, but hard to do. If he only inherited the emotions of the original body before, this time he really experienced this family affection.

And at this moment, there was a loud noise not far away, and the sound of the tiger stopped abruptly, and the last sound made people's hearts tremble.

The entire mountain forest calmed down again at this time.

Chang Xisheng hurriedly stopped the ox cart, "What's the matter?" ”

"That movement seems to be coming from ahead?" Always rejoice.

Chang Xiwang: "Shall we go and see?" ”

"You don't want to die, that movement is estimated to be caused by a big worm!" Chang Xisheng glared at him.

Chang Xiwang was not scared just now, "But the movement just now is like a big worm, didn't you hear the last sound that was very miserable, maybe it was a hero who killed this big worm." ”

Chang Xisheng was also a little moved, and Chang Xile said uncertainly: "I seemed to hear a human voice just now?" I just yelled, and I wasn't sure. ”

"I heard it too, and I just thought it was wrong." Chang Xiwang Road.

Chang Xisheng was even more hesitant now, if someone didn't go to see it, it would be troublesome. But in this way, when the time comes, the tiger will stay there, and then their brothers' lives will be lost here.

Chang Xiwang said: "Why don't I go and take a look, I'm running fast, if I see that the movement is wrong, I'll come back immediately." ”

Chang Xisheng said: "How fast are you as fast as that big worm?" ”

"But the big insect that moved just now must be bad, I can't run away if I'm alive and well, but if I'm injured and disabled, I'm still afraid of him?" Chang Xiwang said confidently that he worshiped the hunters in the mountains, and he usually learned one or two hands.

Chang Xile thought for a while and said, "Why don't we wait here?" If you don't move for a while, go and see. ”

Chang Xisheng thought about it and finally decided to wait for a while, and did not forget to let everyone be on guard while waiting.

After about a stick of incense, a qiē was calm as usual, and a bird flew to the cow, and the tension seemed to be just an illusion.

Chang Xile and his party decided to continue walking, and not long after walking, they smelled a faint smell of blood wafting into the air.

Chang Xiwang suddenly shouted: "Look there, that big worm is really dead!" Hey, what's it lying next to it? ”

Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng looked over and vaguely saw a tiger lying in a pool of blood, and only two or three steps away from it lay something that couldn't tell what it was.

The three of them hurriedly ran over, Chang Xisheng ran over first, and only after making sure that the tiger was too dead to die anymore did he let the two younger brothers come over. And the thing that was far from seeing anything turned out to be a person, a little boy to be exact, not very big, estimated to be only in his early tens, with a □□ all over his body, a few piercing scars on his body, and a bloody face on his head, which could only be roughly seen.

"And gas." Chang Xile put his hand on the little boy's neck, and could feel the pulse beating.

Chang Xiwang came over and picked up the little boy without saying a word, "Let's quickly take him to the county to see the doctor, look at the injury, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive if he doesn't treat it quickly." ”

Everyone didn't care about thinking so much, and they all thought about taking the little boy to the hospital quickly.

"Wait, bring this big worm with you." Chang Xi Sheng said.

Chang Xiwang was in a hurry, "Oh, where can I manage this now, it's important to save people." ”

Chang Xisheng said: "This child is so seriously injured, it must cost a lot of money to cure it, how can we have money for him now, I am not afraid of this big worm." ”

When the other two heard this, they thought it made sense, and it took a great deal of effort to carry the dead tiger onto the ox cart. Fortunately, I brought an ox cart today, and although it was difficult to pull it up, it could be pulled.

As soon as the tiger got into the car, the ox cart immediately looked very crowded, Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang sat in the front of the car, and the little boy watched from behind Chang Xile.

The little boy was lying in the cart, and he was often happy to see that the ox cart was too bumpy for fear of causing a second damage to his head, and he held him in his arms, regardless of the few good clothes that would stain him.

With such an action, the little boy suddenly opened his eyes violently, his eyes were fierce, full of vigilance and threat, which made Chang Xile's heart jump.

Chang Xile hurriedly said softly: "Don't be afraid, we'll take you to see the doctor." ”

As she spoke, she gently patted him on the shoulder, indicating that she was harmless.

The little boy's eyes gradually calmed down, blinked, and closed again.

Chang Xile suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was full of doubts, how could this child's eyes look like a beast?
