Chapter 2: The Tiger Hunt I
Except for Hanzhong, where Chen Yuan and Liu Yan confronted each other, life in Yizhou was still very normal.
Two years later, Yong'an County, Ba County (that is, the lonely place of Liu Bei later: White Emperor City), enter the city and walk straight along the stone road, you can see the most magnificent mansion in this city, the plaque on the top of the door reads the word "Wangfu", the palace is the richest family in the whole Yong'an, or it can be said that the whole Ba County. There is also a mansion opposite the palace, which is not as grand as the palace, but it also makes people feel that it is extraordinary. The plaque of this house is "Chen Mansion", and there are four men standing in front of the door, with straight waists, all of them exuding a breath of British welding.
At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves in Chen's mansion, the sound became clearer and clearer, and suddenly the side door opened, and five horses rushed out from inside, the first one was snow-white, and immediately a young man in brocade clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a sword hanging from his waist and a longbow on his back, rode away. Behind him were four horsemen, all dressed in cyan short clothes. The group rode to the gate of the Chen Mansion, and one of the people standing in front of the door shouted, "The third young master is hunting again!" The young man laughed, waved his horsewhip, and the white horse hissed and rushed out. Another man called: "Lu Sheng, get a big guy back today, everyone has a good meal." The person who was called Lu Sheng responded: "You gluttonous guy is indispensable for your piece of meat." The other people standing laughed. After a while, the five horses were gone.
"Little master, you have to go out too, why don't you bring a servant?" Not long after the five horses went out, the eleven-year-old sixth of the Chen family also rode out of the Chen Mansion. Hearing the doorman's question, the sixth elder of the Chen family just waved his sleeves at the man and quickly drove out of the city. Thinking that the little young master of the Chen family often did this, the doorman was not suspicious, and actually watched a child ride a horse alone and leave the house.
As soon as the five horses came out of the city gate, the third young master Wu Ji clamped his legs, and the white horse neighed again, rushed out, and instantly distanced himself from the few people behind. Wu Ji rode into a wooded field and took off his longbow and searched for prey. Suddenly a rabbit jumped out of the forest, Wu Ji quickly took out an arrow from the quiver, bent his bow and set the arrow, only to hear a whoosh, then saw the hare fall to the ground. When Wu Ji dismounted to get the prey, Lu Sheng happened to come and said with a smile: "Third young master, good arrows." And the rest of them came. Wu Ji threw the prey to one person and continued to get on the horse. Wu Ji saw a pheasant, and an arrow quickly rushed to the pheasant, the pheasant seemed to sense the danger, took off to avoid the arrow, and just before the pheasant landed, another arrow had been inserted into the chicken. Wu Ji called a few people, and everyone praised them again and again.
In the sound of praise, Wu Ji heard the movement in the forest again, and connected his bow and arrow, but saw the sixth Yang Xuan hurriedly appear out: "Don't shoot, don't shoot!" The third brother is me, it's me. "It turned out to be the sixth Yang Xuan." Third brother, you scared me to death, I'm really afraid that this arrow will come over. "Fortunately, when Wu Ji took the bow from the quiver, Yang Xuan spoke up, otherwise Wu Ji's arrow would have really shot over." Why are you, sixth brother, how did you come here? ”
Yang Xuan said: "No, third brother, I didn't know that you came to hunt, I saw you take these few of them out of the mansion, I think there must be something interesting, so I quietly followed, who knew that you were here to hunt today." ”
Wu Ji knew that Yang Xuan knew that he was going out to hunt so he quietly followed, and he didn't break it. "Why don't you go back when you know I'm hunting?"
Hearing that his third brother wanted to let him go back, Yang Xuan was anxious: "Don't, third brother, I haven't hunted, and I also want to see how you hunt, so I hid over there and watched quietly." If you accidentally moved, you found out. ”
This sixth child has grown up in the military camp since he was a child, and he has been interested in adventures and other things at a young age, and Wu Ji originally had no intention of driving Yang Xuan away. "If you hadn't appeared quickly, you would have stuck an arrow in you now, to say the least. Since you're here, I'll let you go back, Lu Sheng, and give him a bow and arrow. ”
"Thank you, third brother." Taking the longbow and quiver handed over by Lu Sheng, Yang Xuan's face was full of smiles.
When Yang Xuan was in the military camp before, his father-in-law Chen Yuan, who didn't often praise people, often praised the little Yang Xuan's high archery skills, Wu Ji had never seen it, but he also wanted to see Yang Xuan's archery skills, so he said: "Don't say that you don't know how to use this bow, you are a little general who has been in the barracks since you were eight years old." ”
"I know, I know, third brother, look." After that, just as a fox escaped, when Wu Ji turned his head to look at Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan smiled, and it was obvious that the arrow had been shot.
Then he turned to look at the fox just now, and he had fallen to the side, with an extra arrow on his body.
"Little Master Divine Shooting!" The entourage also saw Yang Xuan's archery skills for the first time and praised them one after another.
"I didn't expect that the sixth brother's archery skills were so powerful, and I was far inferior. Today's prey must have been fought by the sixth brother. Wu Ji saw that Yang Xuan's arrow was not only fast, but also very accurate, the place where the fox hit the arrow was the eye, Wu Ji would naturally shoot the fox to death, but the speed and accuracy were far inferior to Yang Xuan.
"Hey, hey, third brother, why don't we come to compare today, who can shoot more prey." Yang Xuan smiled after being praised: "We don't shoot more prey than who shoots, let's see who shoots the heavier prey who wins, how about it?" ”
Yang Xuan, who showed his hand, knew that his third brother could bring back a lot of prey every time he went out hunting, if he really wanted to say that the number of prey would determine the victory, Yang Xuan felt that he was inexperienced and could not win Wu Ji, thinking that the fox just now was heavier than the rabbits and pheasants that Wu Ji had hunted before, so he thought of determining the winner by weight.
Wu Ji readily agreed, thinking that he might hunt a lot of prey today, so he called back a person to bring an ox cart so that he could bring back today's prey. And among the remaining three servants, Lu Sheng followed Wu Ji, while the other two were given to the young Yang Xuan.
According to the rules, it is up to the two to see whose team can get heavier prey before sunset, and whoever wins. Of course, what has been hunted before is also counted.
After the start, Yang Xuan, who was hunting for the first time, couldn't find the prey due to his lack of experience, and saw too few prey after separating from Wu Ji, and in the time of almost two hours after the game, Yang Xuan only shot three more pheasants and two rabbits, so it was difficult to find other prey, but Wu Ji's number of prey at this time was almost twice as much as Yang Xuan's, Yang Xuan thought that it was difficult for him to find prey, so it was better to follow Wu Ji.
Yang Xuan came to Wu Ji's side and saw that the entourage was carrying five pheasants and four rabbits, and there was actually a small wild boar. Looking at himself again, Yang Xuan made up his mind to pay attention to it, he wanted to fight a big guy, so that he could overtake and go back.
It was indeed a good decision to follow Wu Ji, whenever the prey appeared, Yang Xuan's arrows were always faster than Wu Ji's, and later Yang Xuan's results kept up with Wu Ji's.
Seeing that his prey had caught up, Yang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to continue to follow Wu Ji, he found that Wu Ji had run away.
How could Yang Xuan let Wu Ji hit the prey again, so he also chased after him.
Wu Ji secretly said that it was not good. It turned out that there was a big wild boar running past Wu Ji, and Wu Ji chased after him, and now after Yang Xuan caught up, he found that Wu Ji didn't want to hide from himself, but chased the wild boar, and he suddenly became excited.
Wu Ji accidentally fell to the ground, Yang Xuan put down the longbow in his hand and stopped to check if Wu Ji was injured. Wu Ji warmed his heart, but he persuaded him: "Sixth brother, the wild boar is big enough, and he hunted and shared it with the brothers in Fuzhong." ”
Seeing that Wu Ji was not injured, after hearing Wu Ji's words, Yang Xuan picked up the longbow, turned on the horse, and chased the big wild boar.
Lu Sheng stopped at this time, and after Wu Ji got up, he helped pat the dead leaves and soil on Wu Ji's body. I didn't know that danger was approaching slowly.
Yang Xuan chased the wild boar for a while, probably knowing that the speed of the wild boar was average, he took out the bow and arrow in the sprint and shot it, the wild boar fell down after being hit by the arrow, but before Yang Xuan walked in, the wild boar actually got up and ran, although it didn't run very fast, Yang Xuan was an arrow, and the wild boar couldn't move, only hearing the heart-rending scream.
Yang Xuan's entourage carried the wild boar on his back, and when he turned back with Yang Xuan, he heard Wu Ji's cry in the distance. Yang Xuan quickly rushed back.
It turned out that this big wild boar was originally chased by a big tiger, and accidentally ran into the eyes of everyone, Wu Ji and others chased after the wild boar, but they didn't know that when they chased the wild boar, the tiger was behind them.
After Wu Ji fell and stopped, Lu Sheng helped clean up the ashes, at this time the tiger suddenly attacked, Lu Sheng was slapped aside by the tiger and fainted, Wu Ji had Lu Sheng's buffer protection, although he didn't think Lu Sheng was stunned like this, but he was also caught by the tiger's claws A few bloody wounds, Yang Xuan and others heard the scream of Wu Ji after being slapped by the tiger.
Although the time is not far apart, Yang Xuan at this time is not close to Wu Ji, if Wu Ji can resist at this time, he can naturally wait for Yang Xuan's rescue, but at this time, Wu Ji was slapped by the tiger and couldn't move. I watched the tiger pounce on me.
When death was approaching, a person appeared behind the tiger to stop the tiger's attack, and this person was Yang Zhenglong.
Yang Zhenglong had just turned twenty years old at this time, and there was a mother in the hall, and the mother and mother relied on the prey that Yang Zhenglong had hunted to survive, and sometimes Yang's mother also took Yang Zhenglong's prey to change some cloth to make some clothes. Today he just wanted to go back after a few days of eating as usual, but it was rare to find a big harm in Yong'an, the tiger has killed a lot of hunters, Yang Zhenglong was trying to run away, but found that the tiger was ambushing a wild boar, Yang Zhenglong wanted to kill the tiger when the tiger chased the wild boar and fought with the wild boar old farm, but after following the tiger for a while, he found Wu Ji and Lu Sheng, and the tiger also attacked the two, Yang Zhenglong saw that Wu Ji was about to become the tiger's food, so he rushed out desperately, attracted the attention of the tiger, and only then did he save Wu Ji.
After Yang Zhenglong attracted the tiger's attention, he made a difficulty, because he knew that he was not the tiger's opponent, and the two arrows he shot were also avoided by the tiger.
After avoiding Yang Zhenglong's arrow, the tiger pounced and crushed Yang Zhenglong to the ground. At this time, the tiger roared "Ah~ roar, roar, roar!! ”
The sound of the tiger startled many birds and finches around, Yang Xuan heard the sound of the tiger, and secretly screamed badly, and his speed increased a little.
At this time, the tiger bit Yang Zhenglong's neck, Yang Zhenglong held the tiger's mouth with both hands, and the sharp tiger teeth clearly appeared in front of Yang Zhenglong. Yang Zhenglong clearly felt the strong power of the tiger, and felt that his two hands were about to break.
The tiger's puddles of saliva flowed onto Yang Zhenglong's face, and Yang Zhenglong's heart became even colder.
Yang Xuan saw a tiger pounce on a person, firing two arrows in a row, Yang Zhenglong saw someone coming, and he didn't know the explosive power that came from, and he actually bounced away this big tiger that he didn't know how heavy.
Although the tiger tried its best to avoid the arrow shot by Yang Xuan, it was also blinded in its left eye. The left eye was bleeding constantly, making the tiger full of murderous intent and anger.
The tiger kept growling, staring at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. Yang Zhenglong also stood up at this time, and it was not difficult to see that Yang Zhenglong's cold sweat at this time was soaked all over his body.
After Yang Xuan rescued Yang Zhenglong, he found Wu Ji and Lu Sheng, who were lying on the side, and saw that Wu Ji was already in a pool of blood, thinking that Wu Ji had been killed by a tiger, and suddenly burst out and shouted: "I'm going to tear this beast!" And he rushed forward. Fortunately, the entourage behind him calmed down, pulled down Yang Xuan, and said, "Little young master, this tiger is powerful, don't attack at close range." ”
After hearing the words of his entourage, Yang Xuan calmed down a lot, and when he saw the longbow in his hand, he immediately made up his mind. Repeat a few arrows. The tiger also reacted quickly, avoiding the long arrows again and again. Yang Xuan charged up and shot two more arrows, with a roaring sound, the speed was extremely fast, the tiger reacted extraordinarily, avoiding the two arrows, but he didn't know that the big tree behind him had been broken by the power of the arrows, and he was falling towards the tiger.
There was a loud noise in the forest, and although the tiger avoided the trunk of the big tree at the last moment, it was not lightly injured, and at this time the tiger had a few more cuts in addition to the bleeding from his left eye.
Yang Xuan didn't give the tiger a chance, and was about to make up a few arrows, but the tiger pounced first, and when the entourage saw the situation, he picked up the branches around him indiscriminately, and smashed the big stone at the tiger that pounced, Yang Xuan reacted and jumped away to avoid the tiger's claws. However, Yang Xuan's horse was slapped to the ground by the tiger.
When the tiger saw that it couldn't pounce, it pounced again; Yang Xuan saw that there was an opportunity, and after the tiger pounced, Yang Xuan threw down the longbow and also threw himself towards the tiger's body, just pressing on the tiger. Yang Xuan pressed the tiger tightly, and when the vigorous tiger was about to get up, the two attendants followed to help suppress the tiger, so that the tiger could only shake its head. The entourage helped, so that Yang Xuan had some free strength, and seeing that the tiger head still wanted to turn around and bite people, Yang Xuan immediately clenched his fists and punched the tiger head for a while.
At this time, Yang Zhenglong saw that the tiger was suppressed under several people, and he also rushed forward. Because of the tiger's mouth with both hands before, his hands were weak at this time, so he stepped on the tiger's head with his feet.
A few people were sweating profusely, and they didn't know whether the tiger was dead or alive, and they didn't stop until they were powerless. At this time, Yang Xuan thought of Wu Ji in the pool of blood, and secretly felt sad, but he also rushed back to Wu Ji's side.
