Under the leadership of the villagers, Ling'er only took more than a quarter of an hour to return to the place where she had met the tiger before, why did the young man walk for a few hours? Is it that he doesn't know the way? Or do you deliberately wander around the woods to get rid of yourself?

Ling'er thought hard for a while, then shook her head vigorously, forget it, people not only saved themselves, but also gave themselves dry cakes to eat, and left tiger skins and short knives. As a stranger, it's good to be like this, it's just asking for too much!

As soon as the men arrived near the Tiger Cave, they were nervous, and they automatically slowed down, staring at the Tiger Cave dozens of meters high without blinking. When they arrived at the intersection of the small road in the Tiger Cave, the villagers stopped, you look at me, I look at you, there was a look of horror in their eyes, several people were deadlocked for a moment, and the middle-aged man who led the way said:

"What are you afraid of? Xiaoshi took back the tiger skins, the two big tigers are dead, let's go up and have a look, carry the tiger meat back and share it with everyone, and solve our grievances in the past two years! ”

"Big... Brother Da Ming, no... Aren't there two ends? There are only ...... tiger skins" A man timidly pointed to Ling'er's tiger skin, and the meaning was self-evident.

Ling'er thought about it, those two big tigers were indeed powerful and cunning, and it was understandable that the villagers were afraid, so she took the initiative to stand up: "Uncle Daming, let me go up and have a look first, right?" ”

"How's that going to work? You are a small child, how can you be allowed to explore the way? Da Ming said this, but his expression was relieved! Ling'er sighed in her heart and responded:

"It's okay, Uncle Daming, this road is too narrow, I'm small, and it's easy to get up and down! It's just that the big tiger died yesterday, and the tiger meat was left on it, and I don't know if it was taken by other beasts! You wait, I'll go up and have a look first, and I'll call you if it's okay, it's not too late for you to come again! ”

Ling'er jumped on the path, holding on to the mountain wall and climbing up quickly and agilely, and several men stood below, their heads up, and their eyes followed her without blinking.

Soon, Ling'er climbed onto the flat ground where the tiger cave was located, and there were still traces of yesterday's fight on the ground. After a night of wind and frost, most of the blood stains on the ground were covered, and although the corpses of the two big tigers were in place, they had changed color, and there was a faint sour smell, and there were some small insects crawling on them.

Ling'er covered her mouth and nose and fanned her fan, and walked around the open space to see if there were any objects that she or the teenager had missed. She stopped for a while, and then heard Da Ming shouting below: "Little stone, what's going on up there?" Are you okay? ”

Ling'er stretched out her head: "Uncle, the tiger meat is still there, but it seems to be a little stinky, come up!" ”

The men were immediately overjoyed, congratulated each other with a smile, and then scrambled to climb up the path. When they went up to the flat ground and saw the corpses of the two big tigers with their own eyes, they were completely relieved.

Da Ming looked around and joked: "Hey, this big cat can live better than people, and he actually knows that if he leaves a small yard in front of his house, he almost needs to plant some onions and garlic and vegetables!" ”

Another man said, "Not really! We've thought of so many ways and dug so many traps, and we haven't been stumped once; I chased it around here, but I haven't been able to go up to this flat land! We used to hunt wolves, tigers and leopards or something, but there was no way to take it, my father said that most of the big cats were going to become sperm! ”

"Hehe, where are you still refined? The tiger skin has been peeled off, see how it becomes a sperm? ”

"Alas, I don't know which hero is so righteous and helps our Liangjia Village get rid of this big evil! By the way, little stone, do you know who that Engong's surname is? Where do you live? We have to thank him so much! ”

Elderly? Ling'er's mind suddenly appeared that immature and serious but handsome face, hehe, the expression is indeed like a little old man, but it is just age and temperament......

"Uncle Daming, don't tell you, that hero is also my savior, when he killed the big tiger, he skinned the tiger and was about to leave, and then came to see me pitiful, I heard that my father was seriously ill and went into the mountains to collect medicine, so he left a tiger skin for me to let me take it for silver! His old man is not only the life-saving benefactor of Xiaoshi, but also the life-saving benefactor of our whole family! ”

"Oh? Little stone, you came into the mountains to collect medicine? What medicine? Let's hear it, let's see if there is one in the village? ”

"No, no, thank you uncles, my father has been a stubborn illness for many years, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he needs medicine every day! I begged the doctor to prescribe a pill full of herbs, and I picked the herbs to dry and boil them myself, so I could save a lot of money, but the doctor said that the disease could not be broken, and if you wanted to be completely cured, you had to have the thousand-year-old ginseng of the vast mountain! ”

"Millennial ginseng! Small stones, thousand-year-old ginseng is a rare and precious thing, can be met but not sought, our Liangjia Village has taken root in this vast mountain for hundreds of years, to collect medicine and hunt for a living, so many generations, a total of three millennium ginseng has been encountered, and the real hand is only one! ”

Ling'er was a little surprised, although she knew that thousand-year-old ginseng was precious, but she didn't expect it to be so rare, and she couldn't meet it once in an average of 100 years? …… Also, thousand-year-old ginseng has to be considered a thousand years old, and there are a lot of them on the market for hundreds of years, and the price is already very expensive, let alone thousands of years?

"Uncle Daming, what does that thousand-year-old ginseng you picked look like? Is it the same as ordinary ginseng? Worth the money, right? ”

Da Ming was stunned when he heard this, his face changed, and a few men next to him also had such expressions, Ling'er was strange, could it be that there was a different story about that ginseng?

Da Ming hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Alas! That thing is worth a lot of money, but ...... But it's also a disaster, and it's better not to be at ease! Little stone, you also listen to my advice, don't look for any thousand-year-old ginseng, it's a pure waste of time, and if you can't say it, it will become a snack for wolves, tigers and leopards! ”

"It's okay, anyway, I still have to dig herbs for my father, so let's stop by the way!"

"Alas, you kid, you must listen to persuasion, there are many dangers in this vast mountain, and the people we who were born and raised here don't dare to walk around casually, and if you are not careful, you may die, not to mention ......"

"I know, thank you Uncle Daming, but my father's condition often changes, and the prescription often changes, Xiaoshi doesn't ask for anything else, I just want to ask Uncle Daming if he has this map in the mountains, and I will go into the mountains to collect medicine in the future, so that I won't bump into the tiger and leopard in vain and don't know it!"

"This ......" Daming seemed to be very embarrassed, and a man next to him said: "Little guy, the map is not something we don't give you, there are only one or two people in our village who can read and write, the road to the mountains to find medicine is all based on the word of mouth of the fathers, and has never drawn any map, not to mention that the work of collecting medicine not only looks at the terrain, but also depends on the weather, season, and direction, and pays attention to a lot, not what you think, you can dig it when you see it!" ”

Although the man's answer was expected, Ling'er was still a little disappointed, and Da Ming said: "Forget it, let's take care of this tiger meat first!" Xiaoshi, you also go back with us, there is nothing else in our village, but the herbs are complete, except for the thousand-year-old ginseng, what you want just need to report the name, we will be able to find it for you! ”

Several men cleaned up the tiger carcass, and by the way, they also went to the tiger's den to explore, and then carried the tiger meat back to the village. Ling'er chatted with them on the side, and after a while, she became acquainted with each other, and she also knew a little about these men.

The village where the men are located is called Liangjia Village, which was moved to escape the scourge of war five hundred years ago, not far from the town under the mountain, there is a cliff more than a mile away, standing there can see the situation under the mountain clearly, but it is not easy to go down to the town, you need to turn a big circle, enter and exit from the mountain pass, and it takes at least half an hour to go and come.

Ling'er followed the men to turn left and right among the trees, and when they reached a dense forest, a little boy suddenly popped up next to him, "Uncle, are you back?" ”

Da Mingle said: "Yes, Yuanbao, did you tell your grandfather?" Let's bring back those two tiger spirits! ”

"Anyway, the big guy has been waiting for a long time! I'll go back and report the news first! Hey, everyone, come and see, Uncle Daming is back, and the tiger essence meat is also here! Come and see! The little boy shouted excitedly while running, and when he turned a few meters away, there was no one, only to hear the faint sound of people cheering inside!

Ling'er was amazed, behind the big tree is the village?! Why are there no signs at all? If she hadn't seen the child run out of that place and back again, she wouldn't have known that there were people living nearby! Tsk, this forest is too mysterious!

Ling'er followed the men who carried tiger meat forward, turned around under the big tree, and suddenly brightened up in front of him. In front of him was a bottomless mountain stream about three meters wide, with a rickety wooden bridge in the middle.

The wooden houses on the opposite side are built on the mountain, each with a large tree as its backing, and the houses are connected by a trestle bridge, and the houses in the distance look like a big bird's nest hanging on the trees! Ling'er was very surprised, and stood at the entrance of the village with her mouth wide open for a long time, until someone came to call her: "Hey, are you a little stone?" ”

Ling'er looked up and saw that it was the little boy who spoke, and nodded: "Yes, Brother Yuanbao is good!" ”

"Hehe, the child under the mountain is really different, come, I'll take you to see my grandfather!" Yuan Bao couldn't help but pull up Ling'er and ran to the wooden bridge, Ling'er was in a hurry, squatting on the ground and desperately shrinking back: "Don't! Fall, fall! ”

Yuan Bao stopped looking at her suspiciously, and said strangely: "What fell?" ”

Ling'er trembled and pointed to the bottom of the wooden bridge, the ditch is too deep, she will definitely not survive if she falls, she has never walked this kind of bridge when she is so big, her scalp is numb when she thinks about it, not to mention that the wooden bridge is still shaking!

Yuan Bao looked at it for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, you are still a man, you don't even dare to cross a bridge, you are more timid than the orchids in our village, hahaha!" ”

Ling'er blushed for a while, and wanted to refute but felt that her legs were weak, so she simply sat on the ground without moving. Yuan Bao laughed enough, came forward to pull her, Ling'er snorted and turned her head, Yuan Bao laughed again, and dragged her to the bridge:

"Uncle Daming also said that you are not afraid of tigers, those two big tigers don't need to cross the bridge at all, they can jump from here to there with a single click, and this bridge can be more terrible than the big tiger? Come on, come on, I'll take you away! (To be continued.)
