After he left, Tang Shijin spent a minute persuading Brother Lei to use big-bellied porcelain with her, and Brother Lei agreed very obediently.

So she excitedly finished all the drawings again, and then yawned and blew out the lights.

He had just been lying down for a short time when he suddenly heard a scream, and then another one, and the voice was terrible.

Tang Shijin was just a little drowsy, and he woke up immediately in fright.

Not long after, Yan Baiwei's voice was outside: "Jin'er? ”

"I'm fine!" Tang Shijin hurriedly put on his clothes and went out: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know," Yan Baiwei looked out, there were already people in the village who were alarmed, and came out with torches, Yan Baiwei said: "I'll go out and have a look, don't go, go back quickly!" ”

Tang Shijin snorted.

Yan Baiwei went over to take a look, everyone was talking, and ran to the house of "Widow Cui", Yan Baiwei heard that it was a widow, so he didn't approach, listened to it in the back, and then came back and said to Tang Shijin: "It seems that I met some strong man, saying that half of the wall has collapsed, there are blood stains on the ground, and there is no one." ”

Tang Shijin said: "What kind of strongman can even smash the wall?" ”

"I don't know," Yan Baiwei said, "I can't take a closer look." ”

Tang Shijin said: "But in such a short time, have you already escaped?" ”

She hesitated for a moment, but still told Brother Lei through the door, and went over with Yan Baiwei again.

Before I arrived, I heard a burst of exclamations from everyone.

Tang Shijin found a familiar person and asked, "Third Uncle He, what's wrong?" ”

The man, who was also a hunter, turned around and said, "Maybe I've run into a blind bear." ”

Tang Shijin was taken aback: "Bear? ”

It's only the beginning of March, is there a bear?

Everyone had already lit all the torches, Tang Shijin followed and lit a torch, and the two went over there to take a look, the house was not chaotic, but there was a large pool of blood on the ground, and there were some things like minced meat, and around the bloodstains, there were some traces of suspected struggle, which was shocking.

There was another string of bloodstains outside, and a large group of people chased forward along the bloodstains, until they chased three or four miles, only to see a human leg, half-hidden in the snow pit, looking at the clothes, it should be Widow Cui.

In the middle of the night, seeing this situation is really terrifying.

Tang Shijin grabbed Yan Baiwei's hand tightly, and the whole person was trembling, she grew up in a city in the twentieth century, she really hadn't seen anything terrible! She was almost scared and cried.

Yan Baiwei grabbed his hand with one hand and gently patted her back with the other, and her expression was also very heavy.

Everyone didn't dare to stay longer, so they hurried back.

When I returned to the village, it was almost dawn, and everyone had not slept all night, but there was no sleep.

The patriarch of the He family called everyone over and said solemnly: "The ancestor said that the man-eating tiger can't stay, and everyone knows this." ”

This statement, even in modern times, is known to many people.

The strength of human beings lies in their brains, but human beings do not have sharp claws and fangs, and human physical strength has never been a strong point.

Most beasts are actually afraid of people, but once a beast has eaten a person, they must be killed at all costs.

Because it has tasted the delicacy of human flesh and knows the harmlessness of human beings, it will never forget it.

Eating human flesh is addictive.

From then on, in the heart of this beast, humans have become a hunter, which is very terrifying, and it will do anything to taste this delicacy again.

Uncle He said, "Count me in." ”

Others echoed.

Yan Baiwei said in a deep voice: "I will also pass." ”

The patriarch of the He family stood up and waved to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work." He immediately announced: "Let's go ahead and prepare, bring everything with you, and everyone who goes up the mountain will hurry up and sleep, and set off at 9 o'clock, just in front of Cui's house." ”

Everyone responded with a bang, and then they dispersed.

Tang Shijin was speechless for a long time.

She was born at the bottom of society and is used to seeing the dark side of human nature, so she is used to controlling interests and using interests to sway people's hearts...... But when it really came to life and death, she suddenly felt that these people were also flesh and blood, affectionate and loving.

You know, these days are not like modern times, bear skin, even a bow and arrow can't shoot through, it's very scary, it's really risking your life.

Maybe everyone is here to protect themselves, but if you can stand up at this time, you are heroes.

Tang Shijin said: "I want to go too." ”

"Don't go," Yan Baiwei said, "Don't worry, no matter what, there is no problem for me to protect myself." ”

But are you a person who only wants to protect yourself?

She didn't say a word.

Outside, Yang Pengxiao drove the carriage and wanted to go to the county seat to buy bows and arrows, she followed directly, bought ten big knives and ten longbows, came back and divided them, and then gave the two-stone bow to Yan Baiwei, the largest bow that could be bought here is the two-stone one.

At the beginning of the day, people gathered one after another.

Tang Shijin found that the three sons of the patriarch were there, He 18 and He Yuanxiao also went, and most of the families left only the eldest son or the first son, and a few sons went to the rest of the family.

Tang Shijin's eye sockets were sour, and he couldn't bear to speak.

Then these people discussed, and Uncle He, who had spoken before, took the lead.

Then someone asked, "Huh? What about Heda? He's also a good hunter. ”

It's okay not to ask, but after asking, He's daughter-in-law couldn't hold it at that time: "We are in charge of the family, and Da Lang, we have been in the mountains for four days, and you go out...... I didn't know what happened to him......

Everyone's expressions sank in unison.

Then the old patriarch shouted: "Okay, don't cry!" Hurry up! ”

He Wu's daughter-in-law desperately held back her crying.

Everyone looked at each other a few times, quickly cleaned up their spirits, and went to the mountains.

Tang Shijin looked at a large group of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and they all went to comfort He's daughter-in-law, but they didn't go over.

Her heart was empty.

She thought she would like it...... How so? The feeling of being protected in the rear when she charged, but in fact, she felt extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.

She went home with Brother Lei, and went around the room a few times one after another, but she was still not at ease.

She stood up, took out all the silver tickets, and gave them to Brother Lei'er: "I have to go, Lei'er, you take these." ”

Brother Lei cried at that time and hugged her: "Sister, don't go, please, please!" You don't want to go...... You can't leave me! ”

Tang Shijin touched his head and said seriously: "Lei'er, I practice martial arts, although my ability is not as good as Yan Baiwei, but at least I can withstand two or three He Lantern Festival, so I am stronger than many people in the village, and, crucially, I have an ominous premonition, I don't worry, I don't worry about Yan Baiwei." ”

Brother Lei cried: "Sister, if you don't worry about Brother Yan, can you rest assured of me?" ”

"I'm not at ease," Tang Shijin said with a straight face: "But Brother Lei, conscience, it's a soft knife to grind people, I won't go today, if Yan Baiwei is fine, it's okay, if he has something, I will be tormented by this matter for decades for the rest of my life, so saving people is not for others, but for my peace of mind, do you understand?" ”
