Chapter 296: The Battle of Tiger Skins
Forget it, you can't hide from what you should come, Zhou Xiaocao also knows that there are hundreds of troops under the mountain who are going to come up, and he and others have nowhere to hide, not to mention taking a small family. Especially Yan Qixia, there is still a child in her belly, she was cold and scared last night, she has to hurry up and find a Lang Zhong to take a look, don't alarm the fetus in her womb.
It's just that in this era, are there any doctors who specialize in gynecology? But even if there is, Zhou Xiaocao is penniless now, where is the money to find a doctor for her? It's really a shame to be a man and do this.
When everyone saw Zhou Xiaocao silent, they knew that he was preparing to meet this group of soldiers for a while. Think about it, my husband is a celebrity in front of the emperor, I think I saved the emperor's life at the beginning, will I still be afraid of these Qiu Ba?
Feng Yulan thought so.
The voice was getting closer and closer, and first I saw a large black pressed human head below, followed by the neck, shoulders, and body that were exposed step by step. Finally, a sharp-eyed soldier found Zhou Xiaocao, so he shouted loudly: "Wu Na people, who are you?" Why stay here? ”
Zhou Xiaocao didn't want to entangle with these soldiers, so he arched his hand and said: "I am a passing guest, I was trapped on the mountain last night due to a sudden mudslide, and now I am preparing to go down the mountain. ”
After a while, a purple-robed official-looking man stepped forward and looked Zhou Xiaocao up and down, but saw that he was disheveled, and there were many wounds and mud on his body. Looking at the others, it is about the same, even a few women have dirt on their bodies, and it seems that they really spent the night on the mountain.
The official suddenly smiled and said, "You guys are also fateful." Do you know that there was a flash flood last night, and hundreds of people were killed and injured in nearby villages? You are in the mountains. On the contrary, it is safe and sound, and I am quite lucky. ”
Zhou Xiaocao said with a bitter face: "This adult." We've been out of luck! ”
The official said, "What do you say? ”
Zhou Xiaocao pointed to the people around him and said, "See, most of us have already hung up the lottery, and we almost died." Also, in order to avoid the flash flood, our luggage carts and horses didn't know where they were washed away, and now we were afraid that we wouldn't even be able to go home. Alas! Originally, I went out to distract myself, but I didn't expect to get a blockage. ”
The officer stroked his beard and said, "Come on, you! It's good if you don't put your life in it! Think about it, if all of you died here. If the body is not claimed for a month, then you can only find a random grave and bury it, and your home means that you are missing, that is, you are a ghost, and you are also a nameless wild ghost. How good is it now, stay in the green mountains, why don't you worry about no firewood? ”
Zhou Xiaocao nodded and said, "The adult is very right. I still haven't looked away. ”
The official said, "I'm just very strange, the flash flood was so bad last night, even the big rocks were rolling down, you people." With a few delicate women, how did you escape? This official is surprised. ”
Zhou Xiaocao's expression darkened, and he pointed at Zhao Zhigao and said, "This is the head of the nursing home in my house. When the flash flood came, we found a tiger's den. And he took refuge in the cave for the night. ”
A general beside the official raised his hand and said, "It's just making it up!" Think that the tiger is the king of the mountain, how can it let you wait to occupy its tiger's den? ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "It naturally refuses. But if you kill it, won't it be over? ”
The general was surprised: "What? You killed a tiger? You know, the most experienced hunters here don't dare to hunt tigers casually, and they all walk around when they see them. Just a few of you, it's not that I said you, look, you are a weak person, and you have a group of women, and it is estimated that the so-called leader of the nursing home still has two brushes. Hehe, with this lineup, can you still hunt tigers? Jokes, right? ”
Xianglanjun was furious, pulled out the short sword behind his back with a "choking" sound, pointed at the general and said, "Dead Qiu Ba, don't you look down on your aunt and grandmother?" Come on, come on, and fight with the old lady! ”
The general's face changed color, and he raised his hand and shouted: "Alert, alert!" ”
The soldiers behind him showed their blades "suddenly", including Pu knives, spears, and crossbows, all of which were aimed at Zhou Xiaocao and the others. Zhou Xiaocao would not doubt at all that as long as he and the others made the slightest move, they would immediately turn into a hornet's nest.
Zhou Xiaocao hurriedly waved back Xianglanjun: "Go back!" In front of this adult, dare to show his blade? There are no rules! ”
Xianglanjun always thought that among the four people, Zhou Xiaocao had a soft spot for himself, and at this moment, seeing that he reprimanded him like this for an uneducated general, he couldn't help but feel very aggrieved in his heart, and argued: "Young master, listen to what he just said."
Zhou Xiaocao scolded: "Don't stop talking!" ”
The general sneered: "The people in your mansion are very angry!" ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "The discipline is not strict, and the general of the Reverse Sect laughs shamefully. ”
The general pouted and said: "I don't care what is going on with you, in short, who are you, where are you from, where are you going, why are you hiding on this mountain, and what is your purpose, quickly explain it, otherwise you will all be put in prison and tortured!" ”
Xianglanjun was about to say more, but was immediately stopped by Zhou Xiaocao. Zhou Xiaocao said to the general: "General, we came out to play in the capital, passing by the precious land, and seeing the pleasant scenery, we decided to stay here for a few days. Unexpectedly, there was a flash flood last night, and he almost died here. ”
The general said, "Well, I'll trust you once." It's just that you say that you killed the tiger and hid in the tiger's den to escape, but I don't believe it. ”
Zhou Xiaocao saw that when the official spoke, the general did not bother; At this moment, the general was chattering, but the official did not interject, knowing that they probably had no subordinate relationship, and this official was not the leader of the military and government. In fact, this kind of thing is more difficult to do, because as long as one of these two people can't serve them, it will be difficult to be good.
Xianglanjun still didn't hold back, and held the tiger skin that she picked off last night in her hand, like a banner of victory: "See? This is the tiger skin, do you still think we can't lie? ”
The general said, "Is there really a tiger skin?" Is this a hunt? ”
Xianglanjun smiled on his face, like a general who had won victory on the battlefield, and said proudly: "Is this a fake?" If you want to say hunting, you can't help it. To be honest, this is the first time in my life that I have hunted a beast like a tiger. ”
Zhou Xiaocao saw a strange smile suddenly appear on the general's face, and secretly screamed in his heart. Sure enough, I only heard the general say, "Is it? Caught a tiger, didn't you? So, leave this tiger skin to me. ”
Xianglanjun hugged the tiger skin tightly and said, "Why? The tiger skin we almost got with our lives, and you want to take it away with a word? ”
The general said: "This is a tax, which every hunter has to pay. ”
Xianglanjun said: "There is only one tiger skin, give it to you, are we busy in vain?" ”
The general said casually: "Then, if the tiger skin is not handed over, it will be done, and those tiger meat and tiger bones can also be regarded as taxes, so take them." ”
Xianglanjun hurriedly said: "There are so many of us, the tiger meat has already been eaten, where is there still half a piece?" ”
The general said, "Not yet! You have already received the benefits, so let this tiger skin be handed over as a tax. ”
This general is really shameless, and Zhou Xiaocao didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he turned his eyes directly to the official, hoping that he could say something. (To be continued......)
