Chapter 7: The True Meaning of Hate and Fear
Xu Jiuyan leaned forward again, leaned over to look into the pit, and saw a young man being pounced on the ground by a leopard, the young man stuck the leopard's neck with one hand, and grabbed the leopard's front paws with the other hand and held it out desperately.
Xu Jiuyan shuddered when he saw it, the young man was obviously unable to hold his strength, the hand holding the claws was obviously difficult, the front paws of the leopard were stretched out, and the lack of balance and force point became a stalemate with this young man, it seems that this young man is also from a hunter.
At the party, it is estimated that this young man will have his throat cut by this leopard.
Seeing this person, he was not afraid, and he had no extra thoughts, so he jumped out, jumped into the pit, and copied the stick to the leopard's head for a moment, and this time he had enough strength.
The leopard actually found out that something was wrong when Xu Jiuyan moved, and from the time it jumped down Xu Jiuyan, its head turned back desperately, and it was known that the animal's sensitivity was far better than that of humans, but it was stuck by the teenager, and it couldn't make an effective response and defense.
Xu Jiuyan's stuffy stick blindfolded the leopard, and the young man's hand was also smashed on the ground, Xu Jiuyan didn't stop, as soon as the leopard landed, the wooden stick smashed on its head again, and the leopard who wanted to get up was directly smashed on the ground and didn't move.
Xu Jiuyan still didn't stop, he grabbed the stick and slashed it, and only stopped when the flesh and blood were blurred, he was tired and only panted, kicked the leopard a few times, and made sure that there was no movement, so he sat on the ground.
"Mom, I'm scared to death."
The young man saw Xu Jiuyan stop before getting up from the ground, looking at Xu Jiuyan's frightened look, a little unclear about the situation. The ruthlessness of the stick just now really didn't look like he was afraid, and he didn't dare to move when he was horrified. But the horror on this face is not fake, this contrast is really big.
Xu Jiuyan must reason with him if he wants to know the young man's mental activities, that is a leopard, if you don't kill it at once, are you waiting for us to be killed by it, haven't you heard the truth that you will die while you are sick. Ruthlessness is a necessary decision, I'm afraid it's real emotion, what's the contrast.
The boy glanced at the child lying not far away, walked over and took out a small bamboo tube from his waist bag, poured out some powder and sprinkled it on the child's leg, and then pulled the cloth bag around his waist and tied it for him.
Turning his head to Xu Jiuyan to thank him in his hometown dialect, Xu Jiuyan was stunned, shook his hand and said, "I don't understand, it's too dangerous here, let's go quickly." ”
After speaking, he got up, looked at the blood stains on the stick in his hand, looked at the leopard, pointed in the direction he was going, and said to the young man, "I'm leaving, you should also leave quickly." ”
The boy listened and said in stiff Chinese: "Crab crab, the cripple is for you." ”
Xu Jiuyan looked back at the young man and said, "You know Chinese, you're welcome, be careful in the future, and go out with a guy for self-defense." He raised his hand and motioned to the wooden stick in his hand and said, "I still have work to do, so I'll go first." ”
The boy listened, and said, "The cripple is for you." As he spoke, he pointed to the leopard on the ground.
Xu Jiuyan also wants it, but we won't deal with it, and this is a serious wild animal clouded leopard, although we don't have to think about whether it is illegal or not, but we haven't eaten it, and we don't know if it's delicious or not. And it's such a big one, how can I take it?
Then he said: "You take it, if you want to thank me, just share some meat with me, I'm a post office postman, if you have time to send me some tomorrow morning, forget if you're not free." ”
The boy reacted for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow." ”
Xu Jiuyan nodded, turned around and left, in fact, she was a little weak, this was also her black hand, if she met it herself, she might really die. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench the wooden stick in her hand, and walked quickly, and after sending this letter, she went directly home on a detour of the mountain road, it was too scary, she had to take it slowly.
Xu Jiuyan was in a nervous mood all afternoon, and sent a letter to go back to Dongya Village directly after sparing the mountain road for nearly ten miles, and met the captain Uncle Ketong, who looked at Xu Jiuyan with a frightened face and greeted him with concern.
Xu Jiuyan has been here for more than half a year, and he couldn't understand what he said, but he could generally understand that it was a greeting of concern, and raised his hand to let him see the blood stains on the stick in his hand, which was a gesture and a howling explanation.
"I met a leopard, and I ran away."
Xu Jiuyan's body language is absolutely at the palace level, and the guest boy actually understood, patted her on the shoulder, and waved her hand to let her go back to rest. Xu Jiuyan nodded, pointed to the residence, and left.
Back at the residence, Xu Jiuyan sat for a long time, and after a long time, he felt that he was still alive, and he couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being brainless, and he had pitted himself so badly, and there was no one left.
got up to wash up and prepare to rest, the guest Aunt Tong and Ah Worm came at the door, and Xu Jiuyan hurriedly greeted him when he saw it.
"Sister Yan, Grandma will bring you soothing soup. What did Sister Yan fight, is it a leopard? ”
Xu Jiuyan took the big bowl, the strong smell of herbs in it was not very hot, the recognition of the herbs of the people in the mountains was passed down from generation to generation, and the soothing soup was almost a standing medicine, and the effect was excellent.
Xu Jiuyan drank the bowl and said to Aunt Ketong, "Thank you, auntie." ”
Aunt Ketong smiled heartily, said no thanks, took the bowl and shouted that Ah Worm wanted to leave, Ah Worm said a few words to her, Aunt Ke Tong pulled him, smiled at Xu Jiuyan and left.
Ah Worm stayed and continued to ask Xu Jiuyan what he had encountered.
"Clouded leopard, that's what you call a leopard, but it scared me to death."
"Killed?"
"No, I ran away, where can I fight, I'm scared all the way back."
"I've heard Daddy say it, but I haven't seen it, I'm afraid no."
"Afraid, can you not be afraid, cannibalism, you have to be careful when you go into the mountains in the future, you can't go to the depths, and you have to carry the guy on your back, you know?"
"Sister Yan is not afraid, I will protect you."
"Thank you, Ah Worm, take this back to your grandmother, help ask who wants to exchange chickens, and exchange the rest for polished rice."
Ah Worm took the cloth bag and put it on his shoulder, and left.
Xu Jiuyan closed the door and rested. After drinking the soothing soup, it was really effective, and I slept peacefully all night, and when I got up the next day, I turned on the fire and pasted a few multigrain cakes, ate a bowl of lean porridge by myself, and packed up my things and prepared to go to work.
Out of the village, seeing Aunt Ketong standing there waiting for her with a small bag on her back, Xu Jiuyan walked over, took the small bag and put it in the basket, nodded and left.
Out of the mountain pass, the two children were waiting for her there, this pattern has been more than two months, and the captain Ketong also knows about it, but he never says it, and he also gives a gag order to the village. It is strictly forbidden to speak out, and whoever wants to speak out will be expelled directly from the village.
At this time, this kind of behavior is called speculation, which is a big crime, but people will default to selective ignoring some behaviors for the sake of life and interests.
And the most important thing is that Xu Jiuyan did not lower the price, did not earn any benefits, and even lost money. In their opinion, it was already a great thing for Xu Jiuyan to help them exchange all kinds of things, because sometimes they had no way to exchange even if they wanted to, and they had to risk being caught.
Exchanging food for fruit is a kind subsidy for them, they receive this love, and they are even embarrassed, but people are poor and have no choice, so they have to grind their faces thicker for the sake of stuttering.
The people in the village are tacitly aware of this, but Xu Jiuyan can really be as good as possible, and take the initiative to do it wherever he can help, for example, to collect firewood, when he enters the mountain and encounters the fruits picked, he will put them at her door, and Xu Jiuyan will not know whose fruits they are, so he will accept them by default.
Emotions are mutual, and there are long-term contacts. And for a long time, he controlled it very well, and the people's hearts were insufficient, and it was not advisable to fight Mien to promote Mi Hatred. No one in the village asked Xu Jiuyan for food for the fruit, but the fruit at the door has never been broken.
Xu Jiuyan sent the child away, went to work as usual, and couldn't help but think of yesterday's dream while walking, could it be a new function warning? I almost was eaten by a wolf in my dream, and I met a leopard in the afternoon, although it is not a species, but they are all ferocious animals.
Xu Jiuyan was thinking about it in the east and west, and he heard a voice that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Save people's lives, increase the merit value, add 160 catties to the free use of space, and add 50 cubic meters to the original space."
Xu Jiuyan stopped, was stunned and reacted, and yelled directly: "You liar, I bought so many things that I can't use, and the space is not usually used, I made a wish at the time that there is a carry-on space, but I didn't say that it is limited, whose space is still limited, and no one who writes novels will make it up, and only let me take one or two, you will starve me to death!" ”
"Speak! Don't play dead! ”
Xu Jiuyan yelled for a long time and no one responded to her, but fortunately, the mountain road was rugged and there was no one, otherwise she would have to be treated as a madman. Xu Jiuyan couldn't speak angrily, no matter how much he yelled and scolded in his heart, he couldn't get a response, and Xu Jiuyan began to move forward angrily.
Comfort yourself is also a harvest, at least the amount of free use has been added a lot, and now I can use two hundred catties, I can save a lot of things, and I don't have to work so hard.
The reason why Xu Jiuyan collects so many fruits is that in the future, her space will be kept fresh forever, even if it is stored for decades, it will be no problem. If she goes back to the north, it will be scarce, and, ten years later, when everything starts to change, she can make a fortune and enjoy her life in peace.
Yes, Xu Jiuyan is a player who has no ambitions and is absolutely a death-type player, there is no doubt that if it weren't for the special time now, she would definitely lie at home and do nothing.
Along the way, I was angry for a while and comforted myself to the town, first went to the house of Officer Li at Houdaokou, gave the rice to the old lady, and told her that the chicken will be tomorrow, and the old lady nodded and handed her a rice ball.
Xu Jiuyan excused himself and couldn't push it off, so he took it and left. When I arrived at the post office, I took advantage of no one to pour out a pound of polished rice and wrap it, put it in the box next to Yao Honghong's seat, and then started my daily labor.
Yao Honghong came and saw that the contents of the box were directly put into the bag, and with the effort of distributing the letters, she handed the two and a half catties of food stamps to Xu Jiuyan, Xu Jiuyan accepted the food stamps, helped pick up the letters, took a few letters and left.
