Chapter 23: The Tiger with Eyebrows
Lao Wangtou drove back in an ox cart, and Du Wenhao and Xue Fei'er carried the medicine basket on their backs and slowly went up the mountain along the sheep intestine trail up the mountain.
The ancient green mountains are really green mountains, there is no problem of indiscriminate logging, the mountains are lush and green, and herbs can be seen everywhere, Du Wenhao searched all the way, and after a while, he picked a small half basket.
Although Xue Fei'er didn't understand medicinal materials, after Du Wenhao taught her, she quickly mastered it.
When the sun was in the west, the two of them had already dug up dozens of new medicines such as notoginseng and packed most of the frames. Du Wenhao said: "It's almost, go back." ”
Xue Fei'er finally came out for a trip, she was in a happy mood, and wanted to play for a while, so she raised her hand and pointed to the top of the mountain: "Let's climb up a little more, go to the Feiling Temple on the top of the mountain to have a look, and ask for a cup of tea, the fragrant tea in their Feiling Temple is very good." Let's go back after drinking tea, okay? ”
Du Wenhao saw her excited, and he couldn't bear to spoil her interest, and said, "Okay, then let's go." ”
The two went up to the top of the mountain, came to the Feiling Temple, this temple is not big, located on the top of the Feiling Mountain, the two of them climbed up from the back mountain, from the front of the relatively gentle slope, there is an official road up the mountain. The temple has beautiful scenery, and more than a dozen monks are also more enthusiastic, especially after Xue Fei'er donated a copper coin, she was even more polite, and served fragrant tea, and the abbot also accompanied the two to talk.
After learning that Du Wenhao was a newly hired doctor in the city's Wuwei Hall, the presiding abbot asked him to treat the monks. Of course, Du Wenhao will not refuse.
By the time the sick monks had been treated and prescribed, the sun had already set.
The old abbot wanted to keep them to live, Xue Fei'er was worried that the condition of Yu'er, the second grandmother of Pang County Lieutenant, had changed, and she was also afraid that her parents would worry, so she insisted on going down the mountain to return to the city overnight, this Dongda County is not a strategic place, nor is it an important city, and the world has been peaceful for decades, and there is no major war, so the city gate is not closed at night, and you can still enter and exit freely, so you don't have to worry about not being able to enter the city.
The old abbot brought a lantern to illuminate them, Du Wenhao walked in front with the lantern, and Xue Fei'er and Xue Fei'er still went down from the back mountain, and this side of the road was closer.
It was completely dark, there was not a single star, and there was no moon, but fortunately, there were lanterns illuminating it, and the road was relatively familiar, so the two of them did not worry about getting lost.
When he was walking down, suddenly, Du Wenhao stood up suddenly, and Xue Fei'er behind him couldn't stop his feet, and almost hit the medicine basket behind him, and said, "What are you doing!" ”
Du Wenhao's eyes stared at the bushes in front of him, and he stammered, "Old ...... Tiger! ”
A few feet away from them, in the bushes in front of them, a colorful tiger with hanging eyebrows appeared, staring at the two of them with cold eyes.
"Ahh Xue Fei'er was so frightened that she grabbed Du Wenhao's arm and almost touched the lantern off, "Yes, it's a tiger, what's the ...... What to do? ”
Du Wenhao heard her teeth rattling, and he didn't dare to look back, staring at the green eyes of the tiger and tiger in the bushes more than ten meters away, and said tremblingly: "You ......, don't you know how to ......, don't you know martial arts...... fight it!" ”
"I ...... I...... I fight tigers? Xue Fei'er trembled, "I'm ...... Is it with the inn...... ...... of the hotel Walk the rivers and lakes to play tricks...... Learn, look good-looking...... can't beat ......"
Du Wenhao took a bite in his stomach, damn! It turned out to be a fake trick of embroidered legs, I knew that Lin Qingdai should come, she has real kung fu, I saw it with my own eyes, such a big man is like a child under her hands, although she is a woman, and she may not be able to deal with this tiger, but it is better than this embroidered pillow little girl.
Grandma's, it's too late to regret it now, what should I do?
By the way, tigers are afraid of fire, and wild animals are afraid of fire! Du Wenhao quickly turned this thought in his head, hurriedly raised the lantern in his hand, stretched out his hand and stabbed it, tore the paper pasted on the outside of the paper lantern, revealing the red candle inside, and raised the lantern to the tiger.
The tiger did not rush up, nor did it move, still staring at them.
Du Wenhao's teeth also began to chatter, and he whispered to Xue Fei'er behind him: "Throw away the medicine basket and retreat!" Find a big tree to climb on! Fast! ”
"I ......, I can't climb trees!" Xue Fei'er said in a trembling voice.
Grandma's! I can't even climb a tree, it seems that Lao Tzu is going to return to his position today: "If you can't climb, you have to climb!" Or just wait to be eaten by a tiger! ”
"That'...... So what do you do? ”
"Less wordy! Hurry up the tree, I can only go up if you go up, the tiger is afraid of fire, I have to force it with fire! ”
Xue Fei'er hurriedly took off the medicine basket, turned around, and saw a big tree the size of a bucket behind her, gritted her teeth, jumped up, grabbed the bottom branch, kicked her two feet in the air, and finally kicked on the big tree pole, she didn't know how to climb the tree, and the tiger was next to her, so she panicked, her head was like a pot of paste, and she didn't know how to turn over the tree. Right here hanging in mid-air.
Du Wenhao heard Xue Fei'er's movement behind him and knew that she hadn't climbed up yet, he was anxious, he had no problem climbing the tree by himself, but he didn't dare to put down the lantern and turn around to climb the tree, in that case, the tree didn't climb up, it had been bitten to death by the tiger, he could only keep shaking the lantern, staring at the tiger, taking off the medicine basket on his back, slowly retreating, coming to Xue Fei'er's feet, half-squatting, and said: "Quick!" Climb up on my shoulders! ”
Xue Fei'er kicked with both feet, and finally found his shoulder, and stepped hard to push up, this time kicking, Du Wenhao's feet were another slope, Xue Fei'er kicked hard, she borrowed her strength to go up the branch, but Du Wenhao below lost his balance, fell to the ground, and the lantern was thrown out, and suddenly went out, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
It's a dead deal! Du Wenhao screamed, got up with a bone, hugged the trunk and climbed up three or two times, for fear that the tiger would bite off his butt from behind, but fortunately the tiger did not rush up, he climbed the treetops in one breath, and then stopped.
I heard Xue Fei'er trembling under her feet: "You wait for me!" I ......, I can't climb trees! ”
"Don't move! I'll pull you up! Du Wenhao wrapped his feet around the tree pole, leaned down and grabbed Xue Fei'er's hand, and lifted it up. The tiger didn't make any further movements, which made Xue Fei'er calm down a little, and with Du Wenhao's strength, he hurriedly went up to the thick branch where Du Wenhao was, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, hugged his waist and didn't let go.
Du Wenhao was hugged by her nephrite warm fragrance, but he didn't feel a little warm, after all, there was a big tiger below. At this time, you can't fall, the bottom is already two or three meters high from the ground, and if you fall down at such a high place, you will be eaten by a tiger if you don't fall to death.
After waiting for a while, the tiger below still did not move, Du Wenhao was a little strange, at this time, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the moon shone down through the thin clouds, and by the moonlight, he could already slightly identify the scenery below.
Du Wenhao carefully identified the place where he had found the tiger just now, and could faintly see that the tiger was still lying there motionless, staring ahead with his head held high.
It's strange, it's like a sculpture, why is there no movement?
There was no movement below, Xue Fei'er was shocked for a while, and she also noticed something strange, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know, this tiger has been lying there all the time."
"yes, could we be mistaken? It's not a tiger, it's a rock. ”
"No way, I see it very clearly, it's a tiger, but why don't you move? Will it die? ”
"Dead?" Xue Fei'er turned her head suspiciously, the two were too close, and this time she turned her face, and her lips touched Du Wenhao's face without paying attention.
Xue Fei'er pushed him with a sigh and said coquettishly: "What are you doing!" - Ouch! Don't move! I'm going to fall! ”
Du Wenhao was pushed by Xue Fei'er's slap and almost fell off the tree, hurriedly hugged her little waist, and grabbed the trunk at the same time, angry and funny: "Hey! Miss! It was your mouth touching my face just now! Why are you blaming me? ”
"Don't blame you, who do you blame? Who told you to be so close! ”
"It's unreasonable! Good! I'm a little farther away! Du Wenhao let go of her waist and got up to go to another branch.
"Hey, hey! What should I do if you're gone? ”
"I'm not leaving? If I don't leave, what should you do if you say I'm indecent? ”
"You!" Xue Fei'er pouted and muttered, "Okay, it's okay, it's me who is wrong, okay?" ”
"That's pretty much it." Du Wenhao hugged her little waist again, stabilized his body, and continued to look at the tiger under the tree.
