Chapter 435: This Tiger May Be New
The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei wrote, "I don't see people in the empty mountains, but I hear people's voices." Such verses describe the scenery of the deep mountains.
The first half of the sentence is correct, but the second half of the sentence is a little scary.
With such a big mountain, it's normal not to see people, but if you hear someone talking in the distance and can't see people, it's a bit of a horror movie.
The village is called Happy Village, and the mountain is named after the village.
This mountain is not very high, it belongs to the hilly type of mountain range, but the area is very wide, the whole mountain stretches from north to east for more than ten kilometers, from the geomorphological point of view, it is a bit like the tropical jungle of Africa and South America.
Walking out of the village, you are already entering the mountain, and a hand-dug dirt road winds all the way into the mountain.
After walking for less than half an hour, the surrounding trees began to grow up, obscuring the sun overhead, and it felt as if it was cloudy. The wind blows the leaves, and from time to time there is a "rustling" sound, which always makes people feel creepy, and if you come here at night, it is estimated that the brave can be frightened and fainted on the spot.
"Why don't we go back?" Listening to the sound of the leaves, Su Qingwu felt that the hairs on his back stood up, and the stalks on his neck were cold, and he began to retreat.
"What are you going to do?" Yan Murong said with a smile. "It's the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, so it doesn't make you scared like this, does it? In broad daylight, there is no danger. ”
"There are wolves." Su Qingwu said defensively.
"Not really." Yan Murong said with a smile. "Wolves are nocturnal animals, and they only come out to hunt at night, and what comes out at this time are basically bears or tigers or the like."
Bears and tigers?
Su Qingwu thought, aren't bears and tigers more terrible than wolves?
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this piece." Yan Murong smiled and comforted the two girls. "It's not me who blows, this is my territory, and any beast has to walk around me when it sees me."
"You're just blowing." Su Qingwu glanced at Yan Murong and said angrily. "Are you a flood beast or a monster? When the beast saw you, he still walked around? ”
"If you know, you don't believe it." Yan Murong pursed her lips and didn't say much, anyway, they wouldn't believe it if they said it, so it was a good deal to save some saliva to moisten their throats.
Now, Yan Murong was looking forward to running out of a dazed bear from somewhere, so that he could confirm that what he said was true—but he also knew that this probability was too small. Ever since he had made a fuss about the mountain, the beasts had disappeared when they smelled him.
"Whoosh-"
As he was speaking, Dong Wuyan suddenly stood still, pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, struck the bow and pulled the string, and a black shadow shot out quickly, and then, an unlucky rabbit was pierced through his body and killed on the spot.
"Yo, that's accurate." Yan Murong looked at Dong Wuyan, who was still in an archery posture, and said in surprise.
This traditional bow and arrow is said to be the same as the sports bow, but compared to the sports bow, this kind of bow and arrow is much heavier, and there is no power assist system, it is not difficult to shoot the arrow, but the difficulty is to shoot the target.
Yan Murong didn't think about it, Dong Wuyan was quite talented in this area, and he could hit the target from such a distance. Whether it is by strength or blind, in short, just shoot it.
So, Yan Murong simply took up the job of a hunting dog temporarily, ran over and pulled the arrow out of the rabbit, and then handed the gray-haired hare the size of a puppy to Dong Wuyan.
"Isn't it too cruel?" Su Qingwu glanced at the rabbit with some pity in her eyes and proposed. "Why don't we stop hitting small animals and hit some big ones?"
"Cruel?" Yan Murong said funny. "Don't be pitiful there, poor and poor - this is the so-called law of nature, the law of the jungle, if this rabbit becomes a hunter, then we will become prey, do you think it will let you go?"
"But—"
But after a long time, Su Qingwu couldn't find an excuse.
She admitted that Yan Murong was right, the law of nature is that the law of the jungle eats the strong, even if they don't beat this rabbit today, maybe tomorrow this rabbit will be eaten by wolves or tigers - instead of feeding the animals, it is better to eat them themselves.
As he was speaking, Yan Murong suddenly stopped, raised a finger and made a silent movement on the side of his mouth, before walking to Su Qingwu's side, pointing to a bush not far away, and whispering. "You want to play big, right? Look over there. ”
Following Yan Murong's fingers, Su Qingwu saw a deer that had not yet grown horns with its head bowed in the bushes, as if looking for food.
"I'll start with that." Yan Murong reminded. "Whoever hits it will be responsible for carrying it back."
"I don't fight." Su Qingwu shook her head and said.
"Aren't you going to fight big?" Yan Murong asked strangely. "Isn't that big? Do you want to get a bear back? ”
"This deer is not yet an adult, and I don't want to kill it." Su Qingwu shook his head and said.
“――”
Yan Murong was speechless for a while, thinking to herself, it's just a hunt, and it actually comes to the topic of minors - besides, is there such a thing as an adult for animals? Do you have to check your ID card when you encounter your prey?
"Roar—"
Before Yan Murong could speak, a roar came from behind the deer, and then, a black and yellow figure suddenly burst out of the bushes, jumped up, and pounced on the deer, the glittering claws immediately hooked the deer's body, directly pounced on the deer, and then opened its mouth, biting the throat of the prey. I saw that the deer struggled first, and then kicked his legs weakly twice, his head was crooked, and he was completely out of breath.
This sudden scene made the three of them stunned.
The two women were startled, they didn't expect that their luck would be so good, and they could actually meet a tiger as soon as they entered the mountain. Yan Murong was a little surprised, wondering why this tiger didn't run away when he saw him.
After being stunned for a moment, Yan Murong smiled, turned to look at the two girls who had begun to retreat, and said. "Hey, you're talking about the big one."
"Quick—run." Su Qingwu's voice trembled and reminded Yan Murong, and he also secretly scolded Yan Murong for being an idiot, he was still laughing at this time, if he didn't run again, it was estimated that the tiger would even have a supper.
"What are you afraid of, it's just a tiger, isn't it just a bigger cat?" Yan Murong said indifferently.
"Don't you say that the beasts will run away when they see you? How does it not run? Su Qingwu had already pulled Dong Wuyan and retreated far away, looking at Yan Murong and asking angrily.
"Uh-" Yan Murong suddenly blushed and explained in a low voice. "This tiger may be new."
