"There are tigers!" Zhong Wuregret's heart fluttered, in modern society, tigers have only been seen in zoos, they are all sleeping on the ground, looking lazy, how can I really see a tiger blocking the road?

Zhong Wuregret stared at the tiger and didn't dare to move, he had no experience in fighting tigers, how could he not be afraid? It's useless to be scary, he has no bottom in his heart, if he escapes, is the tiger running fast, or is he running fast, when he thinks of his cardboard-like figure, his heart is half cold, the risk of running away is too great, no.

Since there is no way out, there is only desperateness! He slowly pulled the fighting knife out of his pocket.

It's strange to say, he doesn't move, the tiger doesn't move, and the man and tiger are stuck on the road.

At this time, Zhong Wuregret stared at the tiger while desperately searching for the knowledge about the tiger that he had learned before. "Tigers don't hunger and don't eat people." That's the first thing he thought of, "I hope you're well fed and well-fed, and see me running back!" He prayed in his heart that in front of him was a well-fed tiger.

Then, he thought about Wu Song fighting the tiger. He seems to remember that the book said that tigers mainly catch people with various skills such as vertical, jumping, jumping, and pounced, but they can't catch them with one pounce, one lift, one cut, and they can't catch all three, and half of their strength is leaked first.

"Why do you think about it so much, just treat it like an enemy, and you can't get it when you see it. If there is no way out, just desperately, either you die or I live! Looking ahead and backward before you even play, this is a big taboo in the field. Zhong Wuregret began to feel angry at his timidity, and his mood gradually calmed down.

At that moment, I suddenly heard the shouts of the crowd: "There it is! The tiger is there! ”

It was too late, it was fast, and as soon as the human voice sounded, I saw this big tiger pressing its claws, and then pounced on Zhong Wuregret.

Zhong Wuregret hurriedly flashed to the side, and at the same time, the knife in his hand stabbed the tiger in the left eye like lightning, after the stab, not only did he not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead, he flashed to the other side, and as soon as he dodged, he saw that the tiger's claws had caught the position where he was standing just now. With a thrust, he blinded the tiger in the right eye. Then it flashes behind a tree very quickly.

The tiger was blind, so he had to pounce there by hearing.

"The tiger is blind, shoot fast, shoot fast!" Among the group of people who ran, some of the bold ones ran closer, and shot at the tiger with arrows, and with the fierce shots round after round, the tiger was full of arrows, and seeing that the tiger was motionless, the group dared to step forward and stab the tiger with their hunting forks. When they were sure that the tiger was dead, there was a burst of jubilation.

"This tiger has injured several hunters in our village, and it has finally received retribution!" "It's a pity for Widow Sun's only son!" "This beast has eaten my pig, and I will eat its meat!" "It's a pity that my family has a good cow!" ……。

Despite everyone's gossip and dissatisfaction, they still showed great respect and enthusiasm for Zhong Wuregret, the biggest contributor to the killing of the tiger.

"This little brother is so thin, I can't see that he has such good skills." "Come with us to see Cao Weng." "Kill the tiger, Cao Weng has a reward of 500 copper coins, not you, we can't kill the tiger, the 500 copper coins should belong to you."

Looking at the seven or eight villagers in burlap clothes in front of him, Zhong Wuregret couldn't help but be moved, in fact, all of them have merit for killing tigers, it should be said that thanks to them for saving their lives, but they all give credit to themselves, so that they can receive the reward, if this happened in the era when they used to live, everyone for money, it would be strange not to break their heads.

But he didn't dare to say anything, so he just nodded yes. In order to be afraid that others would see his appearance clearly, he had already smeared tiger blood on his face, looking at the blood on his face and the blood stains on his body, people who didn't know really thought that he had a life-and-death fight with the tiger.

At the time of the lantern, with the support of everyone, Zhong Wuregret came to the village courtyard known as Cao Weng by everyone.

Seeing the colorful giant tiger with arrows stuck in his body, Cao Weng looked at Zhong Wuregret with some surprise and asked, "You really killed this tiger?" ”

Zhong Wuregret shook his head and said, "I just happened to stab the tiger's eye, and if you want to say that the person who killed the tiger, it was your big brother Orion!" ”

Cao Weng admired Zhong Wuregret's honesty very much, and said: "This tiger has disturbed our people and animals, in the past few months, there have been no less than ten lives in the mouth of this beast, everyone goes out in the morning, I don't know if they can come back at night, and the hunters have nothing to do about it, in order to eliminate the harm to the villagers, I only put a lot of money to eliminate the harm, since everyone said that the tiger was killed by you, the 500 copper coins will be given to you!" ”

After that, Cao Weng beckoned, as if he was a butler, and stepped forward with a tray.

Cao Weng lifted the red cloth on the plate, and there was a piece of yellow gold on the plate.

"This is a gold equivalent to five hundred copper coins (minted by the Chu royal family, the earliest gold currency with a fixed form in China), and I ask Xiaoxia to accept it." Cao Weng said sincerely.

At that time, one stone of millet was worth forty copper coins, and these five hundred copper coins could be said to be the family's ration for one or two years.

Zhong Wuregret didn't show his greed, he looked at the gold and asked, "Can Cao Weng exchange this gold for copper coins?" ”

"Of course you can, but five hundred copper coins are too heavy, I'm afraid it's not easy to carry, I wonder if Xiaoxia must be converted into copper coins?"

"Actually, I didn't kill the tiger alone. If it weren't for the help of my big brothers, I'm afraid I would have become a hungry tiger's food, so I want to divide this bounty equally with everyone. Zhong Wuregret said calmly.

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately shouted, and they all hurriedly pushed in unison.

Watching them push back and forth, Cao Weng stopped everyone's push and said: "Since Xiaoxia is so affectionate and righteous, I will give each of the hunters who fight tigers another fifty yuan, and I ask Xiaoxia to accept this money, can I make it?" He asked Zhong Wuregret for advice.

As soon as he said this, Zhong Wuregret was embarrassed: "How can you let your old man break the bank again, just divide my reward." ”

"No!" Cao Weng refused very simply: "How much is the value of the safety of the party to be guaranteed, how can a few copper coins be replaced?" Xiaoxia doesn't need to say much. After that, Cao Weng asked Zhong Wuregret to stay for the time being, and let the housekeeper take everyone to the account room to collect the copper coins.

After everyone left, there were only two people in the lobby, Cao Weng and Zhong Wuregret, Cao Weng asked Zhong Wuregret to sit down, and his own maid served tea.

Cao Weng said to Zhong Wuregret: "Xiaoxia is covered in blood and has not been washed, and he is tired, but he is old and left Xiaoxia to talk about things, which is really unreasonable, please take one or two." ”

Zhong Wuregret hurriedly stood up and waved at Cao Weng: "I haven't thanked Cao Weng for the gift, how dare I blame it?" Cao Weng has something to say, please speak. ”

Cao Weng asked, "I don't know where Xiaoxia's family lives, and who are there in the family now?" ”

Zhong Wuregret replied: "I have lived in the mountains with my father since I was a child, not long ago. The old father died of illness, so he thought of going out of the mountain to see the world, and inadvertently happened to meet the tiger, and fought with the courage of the moment, thanks to the help of everyone, he was lucky to kill the tiger. ”

At the thought of crossing over, saying goodbye to his parents at home, Zhong Wuregret couldn't help but look gloomy for a while, and a real sadness flowed from the bottom of his heart. But in Cao Weng's opinion, he thought that Zhong Wuregret was still immersed in the grief of losing his father, and he couldn't help but feel more good about him.

Cao Weng looked Zhong Wuregret up and down, and said: "Although I haven't seen Xiaoxia kill a tiger, I have heard everyone's words, and I admire Xiaoxia's skills very much. ”

Zhong Wuregret had already seen that Cao Weng was a little suspicious of himself, and it was really unimaginable for him to say that he could blind the eyes of a tiger with an unremarkable figure like him.

Zhong Wuregret hurriedly thought about how to deal with Cao Weng, he can't say that he came from the 21st century, he suddenly remembered the basic boxing techniques of dragon, tiger, chicken, eagle, snake, horse, cat, monkey, harrier and swallow in the Xingyi boxing of Chinese martial arts, and hurriedly said: "This time to fight the tiger, it's just a fluke, in fact, to talk about martial arts, I am still deeply ashamed, because I lived in the mountains when I was a child, I saw too many birds and animals, and I knew their habits very well. I really don't understand, this time out of the mountain, I still want to learn from a teacher. ”

"Listening to Xiaoxia's words, knowing books and etiquette, is it the work of my father's teachings?"

"Exactly!" Zhong Wuregret secretly thought that his father was a nationally renowned professor of history, and he had forced himself to study history as if he had been perverted since he was a child.

"I've been in the mountains, I don't understand the facts, may I ask Cao Weng, I don't know who we are king now?" Zhong Wuregret asked cautiously, he first wanted to know at least which dynasty he was in before he could decide his direction and ambitions.

Cao Weng sighed: "Under the whole world, the Great Zhou Dynasty dominates the world and divides the princes, only Zhou is called the king of the 'son of heaven', and Wang Ji is outside the 'foreign princes', we are in the land of the Southern Barbarians, Xiong Tong asked Zhou for the title of 'King of Chu', and from now on even King Mu is in power." ”

Until this time, Zhong Wuregret knew that he was in the Chu State, which was the era of hegemony and heroes in the world. However, what pleased him was that in the Spring and Autumn Period, although there were constant wars and disputes, the war was only to win the status of a victor and seek the name of the overlord, not to kill the other party, not like the cruelty of the war in the Warring States Period, only Qin and Zhao Changping fought a battle, and Qin killed 400,000 people.

Strength is the foundation of this era, but now I want money or not, and I don't want martial arts, so I can't use my "obscene name" as the foundation of my life.

Just as Zhong Wuregret was thinking, Cao Weng coughed and said, "I don't see Xiaoxia as a person in the mountains, if there is no other place to go, can I first become a famous nursing home here, thirty copper coins a month, how about it?" ”

"Nursing home?" Zhong Wuregret thought about it, he was alone, his eyes were black, it was better to find a place to settle down first, at least he had to train his current cardboard-like figure to the appearance of a bound book, and then it was not too late to go to Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, to seek development according to the situation!

Cao Weng seemed to see through Zhong Wuregret's thoughts, and said: "Please Xiaoxia stay for the time being, and if Xiaoxia wants to go somewhere else in the future, I will never stop it." How is it? ”

He looked at Cao Weng as if he had something to say, but when he thought about it, as long as he wanted to say it, he would have time to say it in the future, so why care about this meeting and a half, so Zhong Wuregret agreed.

Cao Weng seemed to value Zhong Wuregret very much, and the next day, after introducing him to the nursing home in Zhuangli, he arranged a separate house for him, and specially gave him a good sword.

This kind of unconventional courtesy caused the other nursing homes to blush for a while, and Zhong Wuregret obviously felt some hostile eyes, especially the eyes of Cao Er, the leader of the nursing home, who were even more resentful.

"If the treatment is better, you won't hate it like this, right? Is jealousy really human nature? "Compared to the Orions outside the courtyard, Zhong Wuregret feels like he is in two worlds.

When receiving swordsmanship training, Zhong Wuregret found that Cao Weng always found excuses to watch his training, but when his clumsy swordsmanship was mercilessly ridiculed by the nurses, he found that the anxiety in Cao Weng's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a faint look of despair.

"Could it be that the Tiger Warrior is really a fluke this time?" Cao Weng also seems to regret his rush to the doctor.
