Chapter Eighty-Three: Farewell Without Saying Goodbye
I am very happy to receive a red envelope, thank you for the "Lotus Idiot" children's shoes, and wish the New Year a prosperous and prosperous New Year! ******
The young man raised his head, staring at her with sharp eyes, Ling'er was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly sped up his movements to bandage, and did not forget to mutter: "It was originally so!" People are kind, but you don't appreciate it but scold people, it's really rude! ”
After she finished dressing, she tied a bow at the end, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, your arm is seriously injured, find a doctor to see it after you go down the mountain, don't get wet, the infection and suppuration will be over!" ”
The young man glanced at her, stood up and tried to move his arms, Ling'er hurriedly said: "Hey, you are light, you have just wrapped it, don't break away!" Oops, it looks like it's bleeding again, show me it! ”
Ling'er went to pull his arm, the young man turned sideways, gently avoided her, lifted the short knife and walked a few steps to the big cat that had not yet been dissected, and continued to work with his hands and feet, the strip of cloth that had just been tied was soon soaked in blood, and it hurt to look at it! However, Ling'er knew that he would not appreciate it, so he simply didn't persuade him, looked around, picked up a branch and began to rummage through the dead leaves for the tools that had fallen earlier.
The firewood knife is okay, the axe and the wooden saw and other tools with wooden handles are all used by the little tiger as the bones of the teeth, bitten to the ground, and even the iron pieces have left a few rows of tooth marks, the potholes are really ugly, I don't know if it can be used?
Ling'er sat on the ground and looked at the broken tools in a daze for a long time, when she suddenly saw the young man walking in front of him, with two large tiger skins hanging on his back, and walked straight towards the narrow path.
Ling'er hurriedly packed up her tools and shouted to the young man, "Hey, won't your tiger meat be moved?" ”
The young man didn't react as expected, and went straight down, and Ling'er trotted after him: "Hey, wait for me!" ”
When they descended the slope, the huge woods were mysterious and dark, and they could not discern their direction at all. The boy paused for a moment to observe, then chose a direction and continued on his way. Ling'er had never been to this place, so naturally she didn't know the way, so she hurriedly trotted a few steps to catch up: "Hey, are you familiar with this place?" ”
"Hey, why did you run into the tiger's den?"
"Were you afraid when you fought the tiger just now? What if you get eaten by a tiger? ”
"Why do you only need tiger skin and not tiger meat?"
"Where do you want to go? Out of the mountains? Why don't we go to town? I'm going to invite you to dinner? ”
"What's your name? Where's home? Don't go home? ”
Ling'er asked all the way through the road, but the young man naturally wouldn't answer, and kept moving forward with the tiger skin on his back, and he didn't know where he was going? Don't look at this guy's multiple injuries, the rugged mountain road is like walking on the ground under his feet, no matter how uphill and downhill the speed has not changed much, just like a martial arts master! Ling'er fought hard to chase all the way before she was left behind!
The two of them walked for a long time, but the boy finally stopped, looked around, walked to the mountain wall, and slashed down a pile of bushes with a few strokes of a short knife, revealing a hole in the back! By the time Ling'er had almost crawled to the entrance of the cave, the boy had already lit a bonfire in the cave, sat by the fire, bent one leg and the other leg straight, and held a dry cake in his hand and gnawed slowly.
Ling'er took a few breaths, climbed in and sat on the opposite side of the fire, rested for a while before relieving herself, and looked up to see that the young man was still slowly gnawing on dry cakes, and her stomach was rumbling for a while. Her face was hot, but her eyes stared at the young man's hand without blinking, and she swallowed her saliva and said, "I... I also have oil cakes, or my mother specially made them for me, but they are fragrant! ”
The young man glanced at her, her stomach was gurgling again, Ling'er blushed and covered her stomach and said, "I... My pie was... Eaten by a big cat! After saying that, she swallowed her saliva greedily, the young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a slight force in his hand, the dry cake rushed straight towards her door. With a snap, the dry cake sticks firmly to her face!
Ling'er was stunned for a long time, and she didn't react until the dry cake fell from her face and fell on her hand. She was so hungry that she didn't care about anything else, so she grabbed the cake and stuffed it into her mouth, and with a clatter, it was so hard!
She quickly spit out the cake, and spit out two bubbles of saliva, and then looked at the thing, it was indeed a cake, not a stone, but why was it so hard? She was hesitating whether to put it in her mouth and try it again, when she suddenly heard two chuckles on the other side.
Ling'er looked up and saw that the corners of the young man's mouth were slightly upturned, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was an undisguised smile in his eyes! She opened her mouth wide in surprise, this guy will laugh! And...... It looks so good to laugh at! Seeing Ling'er's stupid expression, the young man seemed to realize something, and immediately pulled down his face, lowered his eyes to the fire, and continued to bite his dry cake!
Ling'er came back to her senses, stuck out her tongue, and muttered in her heart: It's really strange, what kind of beautiful man has not been seen in the previous life? The one who slipped on the TV and on the poster looked much better than this person, and smiled much brighter, really! I must have stayed in this mountain for a long time, and my aesthetic standards have been lowered, right? Yes, definitely!
The two sat opposite each other by the fire, Ling'er struggled with the dry cake for a long time, and finally solved it, obviously only ate a small piece the size of the palm, and now the hunger in the stomach is completely gone, and the whole body is full of strength, and I don't know what the ingredients of the cake are? Could it be this teenager's exclusive secret ingredient?
Ling'er looked up, saw that the young man had also finished eating the cake, added some firewood to the fire, and then fell to the ground and lay down. Is he going to sleep like this? It's cold and the ground, so you won't sleep badly, right?
Ling'er hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively, "You... You're injured, do you want to put something to sleep again? ”
The boy rolled over and turned his back to her, and no matter what she asked, the boy remained motionless, as if he had fallen asleep? Ling'er sat for a while, feeling really tired, there was no way, since she became a savage, she could only make do with it! She found some dead leaves and spread them by the fire, tried them, then wrapped herself tightly and lay down, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, there was a black hole around her, except for a glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave in front of her. She sat up all of a sudden, something on her body fell to the ground, she leaned over to take a closer look, it was actually a tiger skin! Ling'er is overjoyed, it seems that the young man is not particularly cold-blooded, and he also made a quilt for himself in tiger skin, and he must thank him later!
By the way, the young man? Ling'er jumped up at once and ran to the entrance of the cave, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing outside, and there was silence all around, and there was no one in sight!
"Big brother! Big brother! Ling'er shouted while looking in the woods, and searched all around the cave, but there was no one at all! Really... Already gone? Alas, the man saved himself anyway, and he hasn't thanked him properly, and I don't know what his name is? Where do you live? ……
She returned to the cave dejectedly, intending to pack her baggage and go down the mountain first, when she suddenly heard a clanging sound when she collected the tiger skin, and there was something bright on the ground. Ling'er bent down to pick it up, and recognized at a glance that this was the short knife that the young man used to kill the tiger yesterday! Looking at the bright blade and the cold blade, it is definitely not a vulgar thing!
How could a teenager leave something so important? Or did he deliberately keep the dagger for his own defense? Ling'er was overjoyed, and couldn't put it down and played with the short knife for a while, and suddenly found a small seal near the handle of the knife. It must be one of the young man's names, and I will thank him well when I meet him in the future.
Ling'er tore off the placket and wrapped the short knife for close storage, then packed up her things and went down the mountain. Originally, she thought that she would go around in the mountains for more than half a day, but she didn't go far when she heard the sound of trees cutting in front of her! Ling'er was overjoyed, and ran over excitedly, and sure enough, she saw a few strong men who were slashing bare-chested.
"Uncle, uncle, can I ask you for directions?"
Several people stopped when they heard the sound and looked at her from beginning to end, and were very startled when they saw the tiger skin on her back. The man immediately threw an axe to meet him: "Hey, boy, where did you get that tiger skin?" ”
Ling'er paused: "It was given to me by a hero!" ”
"Hero? What hero? ”
"It's just... It's the kind of kung fu that can chop down a big tree with one palm and jump to the top of a tree with one leap! ”
Several men looked at each other in surprise, "How can there be such a powerful person in the world?" ”
"Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes! He killed two fierce tigers in a few clicks by himself, and he was not injured at all, and the tiger meat was still at the mouth of the tiger's den! ”
Several men were even more surprised: "You said that the hero went to Tiger Ridge?" And killed two big cats in the tiger's den? ”
Ling'er frowned, looking at the expressions of these people, something was wrong? Isn't it good to kill a tiger? Seeing that Ling'er didn't answer, the man asked again, and Ling'er nodded hesitantly.
The men were overjoyed, and the youngest man almost jumped up: "Great, great, those two tigers have been near our village for almost two years, if we don't clean it up, our village will not be able to live in it!" Brother Da Ming, I'm going to report to the big guys! ”
After the young man finished speaking, he ran down the hill, and the middle-aged man shouted to the man: "Hey, Liangzi, remember to ask the mother-in-law to prepare some good wine and food, and we have to thank this little benefactor!" ”
"Hey, okay!" Waiting for the young man to run away, the middle-aged man stepped forward and said to Ling'er: "Little Engong, may I ask your name?" ”
Ling'er hurriedly waved her hand and retreated: "Don't, uncle, don't call me that!" Look at my body, I can't even fight a kitten, those two big tigers were killed by heroes, it has nothing to do with me, really! Just call me Little Rock! ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Xiao Engong doesn't have to be polite, those two tigers are extremely cunning, they have injured many people in our village, and they often enter the village to harass them, we have tried no matter how many ways we have tried to get rid of it, now it's okay!" Engong, thanks to you for reporting the news, otherwise we would have been worried for a few days! ”
Ling'er was so embarrassed: "Uncle, don't call me that, my mother said that if you don't respect your elders, you will lose your life, so you still call me Xiaoshi!" ”
At Ling'er's insistence, the men finally changed their tunes and became more enthusiastic about her. For the sake of peace of mind, the men decided to go to Tiger Ridge to have a look, and Ling'er, as the messenger, was naturally taken all the way, maybe they also wanted to see if Ling'er was lying? If you deceive them, you probably won't end well! (To be continued.)
