Chapter Ninety-Nine: News of the Tiger
Thank you for the reward and the out-of-print √ God's evaluation! Today's fourth update!
"Let's go to the island, and the person Professor Wen is looking for is on it." Chu Jiaqiang said, taking everyone to step on the suspension wooden bridge that is not shaking.
"The qualitative nature of this bridge is very good! The person who built the bridge should be a master. I've been to a lot of tourist areas before, and some of the chain bridges will shake even if you don't shake them, as long as you walk up. If you swing a lot, you feel very unsafe. Liu Yang said that he would take a little time out to play almost all year round, and he had traveled a lot of places.
Chu Jiaqiang nodded and said to him: "This bridge was built by an old construction worker in my village, who has been engaged in construction for more than 50 years and can take charge of it alone. ”
In the wooden pavilion on the island, Old Man Li held his chin in one hand, his eyes were looking at the chessboard tightly, and his face was expressionless. Yan Lao, who was sitting opposite, had the same movements, the same expression, and a master's look.
"Old man Li, someone is looking for you, don't play chess yet." The old village chief shouted from afar.
It's just that the two people on the other side didn't move, and they didn't even frown, and the old village chief's words weren't even air, and they didn't reach the ears of the two. Playing chess to their level is also unique.
The old village chief was embarrassed for a moment, and secretly said that this old man Li was too faceless.
Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile: "Calling them at this time is simply a waste of saliva." Let's sit down for a while! Wait until they finish this game, otherwise if you disturb them, you may be scolded bloody! ”
Two days ago, Chu Jiaqiang came to ask the two of them to eat, and it was like this at the beginning, when the wind was in his ears. He walked up and flicked the pieces with his hand, disrupting their game. The two of them woke up immediately, and Old Man Li pointed at Chu Jiaqiang and scolded.
Chu Jiaqiang's grievance! In a fit of anger, he simply ignored it. The two old fellows didn't come back until they were hungry. If Xu Xiu hadn't put the food in the pot and steamed it with hot water, he would have to eat cold rice.
Miao Huo and the others didn't say much, they admired this kind of selfless person, and thought that they couldn't reach this realm. Wen Qiu should also like to play chess, he stood aside, watching Old Man Li and the two of them play back and forth, making hidden murderous moves.
"Brother Chu, you have a lot of fish in this reservoir! I saw a lot of them just now, and it seems that there are a lot of fish in your Chujia River. It's a pity that I didn't bring the fishing rod, otherwise I would have enjoyed my life while fishing in the shade under this big tree. Liu Yang yearned.
"There are a lot less sections of the river outside, and this reservoir is very dense because of the depth of the water and few people catch it. If you like, you can come over and fish at any time, free of charge. "Chu Jiaqiang has not released fish into the reservoir for this time.
Do things in moderation, and there must be a limit to everything. This has made the reservoir stand out and be different, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others, and when the time comes, it will be a big trouble. If it's too much, it's too much, it's so abnormal that it's hard to accept, then it's not appropriate.
The cool river breeze blows in the face, making people feel refreshed and comfortable.
Finally, Yan Lao said the word "general", and his voice was majestic, and it seemed that he could not tolerate others to resist.
Old man Li stared at the chessboard, holding a big stupid elephant and trying to kill the cannon that was being used by other people, but immediately took it back. Because after he ran away, the car that was ambushed early went straight to the heart.
He put the chess pieces down and said stupidly, "Count you as a winner." ”
Yan Lao glanced at him and said, "What do you mean that I won one game, I won two more games against you today, you should face the facts." ”
Old man Li didn't reply, looked up, and was surprised: "Huh! So many people? Lao Chu, why are you so free to come and watch us play chess today? ”
The old village chief rolled his eyes, he was speechless at this person, and he was surprisingly lazy.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time to bring a professor here, who studies biological species, and wants to know something from you." The old village chief said, there is actually another sentence in his heart: I have endured you for a long time!
"Professor? What do you call it? I don't think I know it! Old Man Li and Old Man Yan began to play chess again.
"Hello! My name is Wen Chengli, and I heard that you have traces of tigers here, and I want to know a little bit about you. Professor Wen immediately spoke.
"Tiger?" Old man Li frowned slightly, and suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked at him nervously, and Old Man Li wiped his messy beard, and then said, "I haven't seen that kind of beast for a long time. ”
Wen Chengli asked a little unwillingly: "Is there no trace at all?" When was the latest time you saw them? ”
"Old man Li, in the village, you and Lao Wu often go into the mountains, really haven't you seen it? I remember a lot of it before. Think again. The old village chief also helped to speak.
"You said it was before. I don't know, I didn't go deep anyway. However, the year before last, I heard the roar of a tiger, and it is not clear if it was the tiger he was looking for. Old man Li finally added.
At the beginning, he took two dogs to the ghost fog forest inside the comparison to catch snakes. The snake was not caught, but he heard a faint tiger roar, and the two dogs trembled, and he hurried away from the ghost place with the dogs.
These words made Professor Wen and his disciples ecstatic. If there is a tiger roar, it means that there must be a tiger, and whether it is a South China tiger needs to be verified. Whether it is a South China tiger or not, tigers are always a first-class protected animal, so they will not come in vain this time. It would be even more exciting if it was really the old village chief's words that the tiger was the South China tiger that had been driven into the mountain at the beginning, and not the other tiger groups.
Ye Xiaoshuang suddenly asked, "Grandpa, why don't you go in and see if it's a tiger?" ”
Old man Li glanced at Ye Xiaoshuang, shook his head and said, "I'm catching snakes, not fighting tigers." Hearing the roar of a tiger and breaking in, isn't that a food delivery? ”
Ye Xiaoshuang's face turned red, she ignored the ferocity of the tiger just now.
"Where is that place, please? Can you take us inside? It's important to us. Professor Wen said excitedly.
"He wants to make sure that South China tiger still exists, and where the hell did you hear the tiger roar?" The old village chief asked.
"Ghost Fog Forest, there are some evil sects in that place. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of poisonous snakes in the gloomy and gloomy whole day, but I searched for a long time, and I didn't even find the snake shadow, so I went in vain. Old man Li replied.
"Then you can bring someone in tomorrow! You are more familiar with the fifth child inside, and I am relieved to have you to lead the way. The old village chief persuaded.
But Old Man Li didn't agree: "Many people in the Ghost Mist Forest know how to go. Who else are you going in this time? What did you bring? If you are not well prepared, I advise you not to enter. Not to mention the Luoshen Mountain and the Demon Peaks inside, I didn't dare to stay overnight just in front of the Dangyin Valley. ”
The old village chief's face was gloomy and uncertain, and it was difficult to decide for a while, he had lived in the village for so long, so he naturally knew the dangers in the mountains. He looked at Professor Wen and said, "You decide!" Honestly, it's really dangerous inside. Outside, you have to be careful of the sneak attack of leopards, and there are also poisonous snakes and poisonous insects. ”
Seeing that these two people were talking so heavily, Professor Wen was silent for a while, but in the end, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "We must go in to find out, otherwise we don't feel at ease, and ask my brother to do it." ”
The old village chief nodded: "Old man Li, you must go this time, you are the best at encountering poisonous snakes and poisons." I asked Lao Wu to follow, bring a gun, the beast should not be difficult to deal with. Jiaqiang should also go, I will call one more strong young man to follow, plus a few of their dogs, Jiaqiang should be enough to deal with your eagle eagle. But you must be careful, you can't go to Luoshen Mountain and the Demon Peak, and even more. ”
The old village chief's face was very serious, there were no controlled guns at the beginning, there were more than 70 people in the village, and more than 30 guns. The tiger was driven into the mountains, but five people still died, and one of them could not even bring back the bones.
Miao Huo and the others didn't expect that there was such a terrifying place in the south, and there was such a large lineup, and the old village chief was still shocked. While they are a little scared in their hearts, they are more excited, and people have the urge to explore. Of course, this is in the case of unknown dangers.
Having said this, Old Man Li had no choice but to nod, preparing to go back tonight to prepare some more snake medicine or something.
When he walked back, Chu Jiaqiang caught some crabs, yellow eels and so on with everyone. Back in the house, I cleaned up a few more rooms for these people. At this time, the old house was almost full.
After the old village chief left, he went directly to the fifth uncle and told him about the matter. As soon as the fifth uncle heard that he was going to the mountains, he asked the old village chief to call Teacher Liu Zhishen to be safer.
