The two of them didn't recognize the shell gun in Li Nan's hand, but when they saw him and Pang Qiuxia walking down from the mountain range, they couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you eaten the heart of a black bear, and the leopard has no guts, why do you dare to walk through this Jingyang Gang!" ”

Li Nan, who was making trouble where he was, heard the other party say the words 'Jingyanggang', and then suddenly realized, no wonder he met a tiger, it turned out to be a robbery of Wu Song's business.

Li Nan was still thinking about the distance between Jingyanggang and Yanggu County, but the little tiger who was behind at this time walked over with the white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes on his back.

When the two fork-wielding hunters saw a large insect appear, they shouted in fright before they could take a closer look, threw away the steel fork in their hands, turned around and ran.

Looking at these two hunters who had gone away, Xiaohu who came close to him asked suspiciously, "Erlang, what's wrong with them?" ”

Pang Qiuxia sneered: "Hehe, it's nothing, it's just two cowards." ”

The three of them walked forward for a while, but the two escaped hunters returned with more than a dozen villagers, all of whom were armed with steel forks, crossbows, knives, guns, and other weapons.

There were many people who were bold and strong, and Li Nan and Pang Qiuxia were still next to the big insect, so everyone mustered up the courage to come closer, and finally found that it was Xiaohu who was carrying the corpse of the big insect.

"You two fools, you were scared away by the corpse of a big worm!"

After many villagers scolded the two timid hunters, an elderly villager respectfully asked Xiaohu who was carrying a big insect on his back: "Dare to ask this little brother, this big insect was killed by you?" ”

Xiaohu was also a little tired with a big insect weighing more than 300 pounds on his back, so he hurriedly shook his shoulder and threw the corpse of the big insect on the ground, shook his head and pointed at Li Nan and said loudly: "This white-fronted tiger was killed by my brother alone!" ”

Looking at Li Nan's broken clothes and many wounds, as well as the corpse of a large insect still on the ground, many villagers divided into two groups and argued.

"Look at him with his bare hands, how can he kill this big worm?"

"This big worm corpse is right in front of you, why don't you believe it!"

Seeing these villagers arguing endlessly, half of them suspected the matter, which provoked Li Nan to get angry for a while, pulled out his shell gun and rushed ten paces away, and the villagers who shouted the loudest fired a shot, hitting the short and broad hand knife he held in his right hand.

With a crisp sound of "ding", the villagers' hand knives were shaken to the ground, and the rest of the villagers looked at the powerful short hidden weapon in Li Nan's hand, and couldn't help but be surprised.

This shot proved Li Nan's strength, so there were no more villagers who doubted the noise, and many villagers with awe hurriedly lifted the corpse of the big insect with their hands and feet, and walked to the post with Li Nan and the three of them.

When Li Nan and the others came to Lingxia, a few villagers who were about to do well had already come back in advance to spread the good news, and suddenly the whole village came out to see the freshness, and there were even more family members of the hunters who were eaten by the tiger crying and waiting aside.

Originally, Lao Lizheng didn't believe that someone had killed the vicious big insect, but at this time, he saw seven or eight villagers carrying a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes, and the rest of the people came around Li Nan, and quickly dissipated his suspicions, and brought the whole village to greet him.

Lao Li is arching his hand and asking: "The strong man has a big name, where is your hometown?" ”

The family etiquette was thoughtful, and Li Nan also replied with a smile: "I am originally from Yanggu County, my surname is Li, my name is Nan, and because I am the second in the family, I am called Li Erlang." ”

Lao Li was pointing to the corpse of the big insect and sighed: "This beast, I don't know how many lives have been harmed, the government ordered my village to capture and kill, and ate a few sticks after the time limit." Today, fortunately, the strong man came, in addition to this great evil, since then the people in the township are blessed, and the passage of merchants is unhindered, which is all given by the strong man! ”

Li Nan was a white-collar worker in his previous life, and social entertainment was not a problem, so he immediately said: "The kid is just at the right time, and it is thanks to the blessings of everyone that he can kill this murderous thing!" ”

There was a sense of harmony between the words of the two, Lao Li saw the hero who killed the tiger at this time, and the corpse of the big insect was beside him, so he hurriedly put his mind at ease and called a few villagers who could speak to Yanggu County to send a message, and the rest of the people prepared a meal to thank Li Nan for his feat of killing the tiger.

After a while, the wine and food are prepared, as the saying goes, the mountain eats the mountain, and there are many hunters in this small village on the side of the mountain, so the table is full of game, and there are several jars of good wine.

Li Nan wanted to give up the throne to Lao Lizheng, but the old man said: "Today you are a hero who fights tigers, let's not talk about your youth, we should celebrate your achievements, don't shirk anymore!" ”

The rest of the villagers also responded in an uproar, and seeing that everyone was very sincere, Li Nan had no choice but to sit on the main seat.

Originally, everyone was still a little hesitant about Li Nan's ability, but when he saw someone toasting, he did not refuse, and in a short period of time, he was very arrogant and drank seven or eight bowls of water and wine.

Speaking of fighting tigers, no one saw it with their own eyes, but this booze was right in front of him, and many villagers praised Li Nan's heroism.

In fact, after Li Nan just came to the Northern Song Dynasty, he drank wine a few times, but the so-called liquor here is rice wine, and the wine with the highest degree in Yanggu County is only about ten degrees, which can only be regarded as a small meaning for Li Nan, who often socializes with customers.

Eating preserved venison and pheasant legs, Li Nan drank very much, and after this meal, he drank about seventeen or eighteen bowls of wine, and was so shocked that Lao Lizheng hurriedly persuaded: "Li Zhuangshi, the news of your fight against the tiger today has spread to the county, and we will go to see the county in a while, but I am reluctant to drink, but you should drink less." ”

These seven or eight degrees of wine are similar to the beer of later generations, and it can be used as a thirst-quenching thing when the weather is hot, but Li Nan thought that he would have to explain to the magistrate that he had left his post without permission and that the prisoners and Xiang soldiers in the prison had disappeared, so he still drank a few bowls less.

But after eating the banquet, Li Nan suddenly remembered that Wang Hu was still guilty, and hurriedly called him over and instructed: "Xiaohu, you are still guilty, now stay in this remote mountain village for a few days, and after my brother and I settle your charges, I will come and call you home." ”

Xiaohu knew that Li Nan was really good to him, so he hurriedly nodded and responded: "It's all up to my brother's orders." ”

At this time, Lao Li was summoning more than a dozen sturdy villagers to carry Li Nan and Pang Qiuxia in two sedan chairs, and the white-fronted tiger was also carried in front, hanging with red satin, and walked quickly to Yanggu County.

The people of Yanggu County heard that a strong man from this county killed the vicious white-fronted tiger on Jingyanggang, and they all came out to watch, wanting to see this tiger hero.

As soon as Li Nan and the others entered the city gate, they saw many people pressing their shoulders and backs, making a lot of noise, the streets and alleys were blocked, and the two-story buildings on both sides of the street also opened their windows, and many female dependents came to watch the big insects and the heroes who fought tigers.

Several villagers knew about Li Nan's residence in Yanggu County when they were eating the banquet, so they deliberately went around Zishi Street with understanding, wanting him to be majestic in front of his neighbors.

Originally, Li Nan didn't want to do this, but he thought that Pang Qiuxia had some Manichaean ties after all, and it was still a little dangerous to go to the county government with him, so he didn't stop her, and planned to let her go first to meet her brother and sister-in-law after she arrived at the house.

Li Nan has been missing for three days, and his sister-in-law Yunniang is squatting in front of the kitchen stove at this time, looking at the decoction pot and sobbing worriedly.

In the past few years, he has relied on Erlang to earn some money to support his family and buy medicine for the seriously ill Dalang, and now that Li Nan is missing, not only can he not spend the days in the future, but yesterday there were a few prodigals who had been watching him for a long time and got the news to harass him.

When Yun Niang was secretly crying, Wang Po, who had opened a tea shop on the street, walked into the house, and shouted loudly with a smile on her face: "Yun Niang, come out and see, your Erlang is really a hero!" ”
