Chapter 17: Fighting the Tiger
Songshan, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is almost a primitive and undeveloped mountain. Only the crooked one is allowed to pass through the trail, and I don't know where it leads.
Dense foliage, blocking most of the sun. Even in the daytime, it looks eerie and scary. From time to time, the "cooing" sounds of unknown animals can be heard around, which makes people feel even more creepy.
Wanrou unconsciously leaned towards Zhang Bao's side. Zhang Bao smiled: "Wanrou, don't be afraid, that's the cuckoo's call." Wanrou, who was next to Zhang Bao, found that she was almost leaning on Zhang Bao's body, and couldn't help but blush, and lowered her head: "Master, I'm not afraid, Lord Zhou Cang is here." ”
Zhou Cang said: "Don't worry, Miss Wanrou, with my old Zhou, I will not let the earth master and the girl be hurt in the slightest." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Bao's mouth: "Okay, everyone is almost rested." Get ready to hurry. "Wait for Zhang Bao to finish speaking. Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded in the woods.
There was a hint of fishiness in the wind. Zhou Cang's face suddenly changed: "It's not good, quickly protect the earth master." Although everyone didn't know what Zhou Cang meant, they still hurriedly surrounded Zhang Bao in the middle.
Zhou Cang looked around vigilantly and said: "Yunsheng is from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, just now a strange wind burst out, and the wind is mixed with fishy smell, I'm afraid that a big insect is coming." "What? Big bugs? Zhou Cang, don't talk nonsense. Huang Long said nervously.
At this time, a tiger roar that shook the mountains and forests came: "Roar~". Everyone's faces changed in an instant. Just listening to its roar is so loud, it must be a male insect.
Before the tiger roared, a large insect jumped out of the forest and waved its teeth and claws at everyone. It's a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes, but I see that its body is black and white, with four thick claws. The word "king" between the foreheads is vigorous. Just looking at the situation, it seems that the hind leg is injured. The blood stained the whole retreat red.
"Ah~" A scream sounded, the girl was already timid, but now she suddenly saw this white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes, and she couldn't help but be frightened for a while, and screamed.
Anyone who has ever had experience in the wild knows that generally speaking, if you meet a tiger, of course, the premise is that the tiger is not hungry, you should confront it and not show any frightened appearance. Maybe you're lucky, and the tiger is gone on its own. However, if you make any action to protect the scream, it will be like a provocation to the tiger. Not to mention the hungry tiger in front of him.
I saw the white-fronted tiger, with its two front paws slightly pressed to the ground, jumped forward, and pounced on the yellow dragon. This tiger also understands ruthlessness, looking at Zhou Cang's appearance, it is not easy to provoke, and he is hungry, so he first picks a soft persimmon to fill his stomach.
Zhou Cang next to him could do as he wanted, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the steel knife in his hand was raised, and he slashed at the tiger's back. The white-fronted tiger had eyes on its back, and its tail swept towards Zhou Cang in the air.
The tiger's tail is actually used for a large purpose, and when hunting, the tail really acts as the main force. Its tail is extremely hard, and it is like a Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang hurriedly blocked the tiger's tail with a knife, and at this time the white-fronted tiger had already pounced on Huanglong, only to see Huanglong rolling on a lazy donkey, dodging the tiger's attack. Seeing that the prey had escaped, the white-fronted tiger was furious in his heart, and roared at Zhou Cang, and the roar was mixed with tiger power and rolled towards Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang shouted, "Huanglong, I attract the beasts, and you and the old horse are waiting for the opportunity to move on their backs. "Okay." Huang Long, Ma // Yuanyi, and Zhou Cang separated into a triangle and surrounded the white-fronted tiger.
At this moment, a roar suddenly came: "Good you brute, you dare to run away." Come and let me eat meat. Before he could finish speaking, another man jumped out of the jungle. But I saw that he had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his chest was exposed, and his face was full of beard, but his face was immature.
The white-fronted tiger, the king of the jungle who was still majestic just now, saw this person at this moment, and suddenly grabbed his tail and turned around to run. The man was furious: "You dare to run." He smashed the iron rod in his hand at the tiger, only to hear the "click", and the white-fronted tiger fell to the ground with a sad cry.
From the appearance to the killing of the tiger, so much has been said, but it is just a matter of an eye. When the man saw that the tiger had been killed, he carried the tiger on his back and was about to leave. As if Zhang Bao and the others did not exist.
"This one, man." Zhang Bao was entangled for a while, he really didn't know what to call that person, he said that he was old, he still had a childish look on his face, and he said that he was young, but he was too anxious to do so.
The man turned around and glared: "What are you doing, I killed the tiger." "Man, we're not tigers who want you." Zhang Bao said.
"Oh." The man was relieved to hear that it was not a tiger robbery. "What's the matter? I have to rush back and buy the tiger for my mother to buy medicine. "Talking about leaving.
"The strong man killed the tiger, which is regarded as saving our lives. I don't know who the strong man's surname is? ”
"My name is Dian Wei, I didn't save you, the tiger ran over by itself, I'm leaving." Saying that, Dian Wei was a little flustered and wanted to leave, but the tiger chased and ran by himself and bumped into these people. Dian Wei did something bad and was a little flustered.
Sure enough, Zhang Bao said secretly: The tiger was really injured by him before. It seems that he has just come of age, and one day his martial arts must not be an ordinary person, Zhang Bao thought in his heart how to pull this person to Taiping Road, maybe he will be the number one fighter in the future.
"What? What's your name? "Zhang Bao was shocked, Dian Wei? The famous Dianwei in history?
"Dian Wei, what the hell is the matter with you? My mother is still waiting for me to sell the tiger and catch the medicine. Dian Wei here showed an impatient look, and he was thinking about the old lady, it had been more than half a month since she came out of the house, and she didn't know how the old lady was doing at home these days.
Zhang Bao thought for a moment, and said: "Dian Wei, I bought the tiger, you can take the money to get medicine for the old lady." In addition, the amorous Lang Zhong examines his condition. Yellow Dragon. ”
"Master."
"Take out all the money and give it to Dian Wei."
"Master, we still have a long way to go."
"I know it's important to save people."
"No."
Huang Long handed the money to Dian Wei, but Dian Wei didn't accept it: "My mother said that there is no merit, and this white-fronted tiger is at most a few dollars." As he spoke, he took a few coins from Huang Long's hand.
"Dian Wei, I asked you to take this money to treat my mother, and I didn't let you take it for nothing, first, I bought your white tiger, and second, I borrowed the rest of the money. Don't be so mother-in-law, it's important to save the old mother. ”
Dian Wei showed a trace of emotion, and when he met in Pingshui, in order to treat his mother, he took out all the entanglements and people who were worthy of fellowship. "Engong Gao's surname is a big name. I will have a good reward. ”
Zhang Bao said: "I Taiping Dao Zhang Bao, how can I want you to repay you, because your old mother needs to take medicine to cure the disease, so I will help you." After speaking, Zhang Bao looked at Dian Wei's eyes. The Taiping Sect should now be notified to the world by the imperial court to define the anti-thief. I don't know what Dian Wei's reflection is that he knows that he is the Taiping Church.
But Dian Wei's eyes said sincerely: "Engong is a peaceful Taoist? My mother believed in great sages and good teachers. Engong bowed down to me. Saying that, Dian Wei knelt down and kowtowed. Zhang Bao hurriedly helped Dian Wei up.
"By the way, Engong, are you going to Jizhou?" Dian Wei immediately thought of something and hurriedly asked.
"Well, that's good."
Dian Wei grinned: "Engong, please come with me, if you follow this road, you will not be able to cross the mountain even if you walk for ten days and ten nights, there is a hidden path from here, and only one road can pass through this mountain." ”
As they followed, they asked, "Dian Wei, why can't that trail be walked?" ”
"Engong doesn't know, it's the formation of the old immortal cloth on the mountain, walking around, it will only go farther and farther." Dian Wei said.
"Old immortals?" Zhang Bao asked suspiciously.
Dian Wei scratched his head with his hand: "Yes, I used to come here often to catch tigers and bears, and I met the old fairy." He also gave me something, fragrant, and I ate it in one bite. Saying that, he showed a lot of aftertaste expressions, and he didn't know what was delicious.
Zhou Cang behind him said secretly: This guy is like a bear, don't compare with him, don't follow him. It's just a stupid big guy, Lao Zhou, I have brains.
Everyone followed Dian Wei all the way, and they didn't know what the secret passage was, and they didn't know how many days they had walked, and Songshan was left behind.
