Chapter Seventy-Four: Remarkable
"Poof! Scold! Scold! While Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi were talking, the tiger suddenly rushed under the tree they were under and tried to pounce.
Its body is nearly three meters long, and the height of its leap is at least two meters.
Every time I pounced, I pounced higher than the first time.
Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi landed on a tree branch six or seven meters away from the ground.
In the face of the tiger's close-range pounce, Xiao Qiongzhi was very insecure.
She hurriedly urged Zheng Bang: "Uncle, you can climb a little higher, it is about to bite us!" ”
"Don't climb high, let it pounce! It was at such a close distance that it could keep flying until it was about to exhaust. And when it's almost exhausted, you can shoot it with your own hands with your crossbow! Zheng Bang replied in a calm and low voice.
"No, I'm scared, my hand is still a little shaky, and even if it's almost exhausted, I can't shoot it. And, if it does pounce on us, we're dead! Xiao Qiongzhi had no confidence in herself at all, and she was extremely nervous.
"Zhi'er, you have to trust my judgment. Didn't you once burn to death with your mother and your Aunt Liu, seven robbers from the Naked Village? Do you remember how the most ferocious of them all, the village chief Li Jiedai, died? Zheng Bang asked suddenly.
Xiao Qiongzhi's mind immediately flashed the murderous eyes of Li Jiedai, who was smashed by Chu Yunniang with a hoe.
She perked up and said, "I remember." Although Li Jiedai was very cruel, he died at the hands of my mother. My mother is very brave! ”
Zheng Bang curled the corners of his lips slightly: "She is very brave!" You are braver than her! If you hadn't been brave enough to be by her side and give her courage, I believe she wouldn't have been so brave! ”
"Believe me, as long as you muster up the courage, you will definitely be able to calm down and no more-."
"Whew......" Zheng Bang's words hadn't finished speaking, and the tiger that couldn't touch him and Xiao Qiongzhi after several flutters became irritable, and suddenly erupted into an even louder roar that resounded through the mountains and forests.
Zheng Bang hurriedly reminded Xiao Qiongzhi: "Cover your ears and open your mouth!" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Qiongzhi immediately agreed.
She was worried that the tiger would pounce on it, so she kept an eye on its movements, and had already covered her ears and opened her mouth in time the moment it opened its mouth and roared.
Moreover, it may be because under Zheng Bang's reminder, remembering Chu Yunniang's killing of Li Jiedai, at this moment, she felt that the tiger's eyes were certainly ferocious, but they were not as terrible as she felt before.
Including the roar of the tiger, because of covering the ears and opening the mouth, the volume is reduced a lot, and the same sounds, it is no longer so shocking.
"Ahh Uncle, be careful! At this moment, Zheng Bang suddenly made a movement that leaned down and almost fell, which startled Xiao Qiongzhi.
"Whoa, whoa, whoop......" But the tiger below, encouraged, his eyes lit up, and he actually kept roaring even harder.
Damn it!
This brute, and the face gloating?
Xiao Qiongzhi was so angry in her heart.
She didn't care about being scared at all, so she raised her right hand angrily, quietly aimed the crossbow arrow on her right wrist at the tiger's roaring mouth, and then stretched out her left hand and pressed the mechanism that triggered the crossbow arrow.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The next moment, three crossbow arrows shot straight into the tiger's throat.
"Whew......" The tiger let out a very tragic roar in pain.
Then, it threw itself to the ground, its eyes widened even more ferocently, and it threw its blood-gushing mouth upside down, stretched out its forelimbs, and continued to let out a roar of "whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...... while scratching desperately in the air.
However, in this way, it can't scare Xiao Qiongzhi at all.
She pointed to the tiger and asked Zheng Bang with great interest: "Uncle, do you want to make up for it with a few arrows?" ”
"No, you shot this tiger first, and if you want to replenish the arrows, you should also replenish the arrows." Zheng Bang turned his head and replied with a smile.
"Okay, then you're welcome!" Xiao Qiongzhi felt that what Zheng Bang said was very reasonable, and her mood jumped.
With a quick movement, she took out three crossbow arrows from the small quiver on her back, loaded them onto the crossbow on her right wrist, aimed them at the tiger's chest and abdomen, and pressed the mechanism hard.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "Three crossbow arrows were fired into the tiger's chest and abdomen one after another.
The tiger let out a tragic scream of "whoop...... and then shook its forelimbs and hind legs vigorously, rolled on the ground several times, hung its head heavily, and never moved again.
"Uncle, is it dead?" Xiao Qiongzhi was a little uneasy, and stared at it for a long time, until it couldn't move anymore, and then asked Zheng Bang curiously.
"It's dead." Zheng Bang nodded affirmatively.
He carried Xiao Qiongzhi on his back, jumped off the tree, landed beside the tiger, pointed to the tiger's eyes that were still open, and asked Xiao Qiongzhi gently: "Zhi'er, now, when you see these eyes, will you still be afraid?" ”
Xiao Qiongzhi shook her head slightly.
She wasn't scared at all, on the contrary, she felt a sense of accomplishment, her body and mind were relaxed, and there was no better feeling than this.
"Zhi'er, you remember my words, in the future, no matter what you are afraid of, you must be like meeting this tiger today, do not run away, learn to find a way to destroy it, only in this way, your heart will be completely relaxed."
"Otherwise, you may be unable to help but think of this tiger from now on, and repeat again and again the fear it brings you today." Zheng Bang seemed to see her mood and said earnestly.
Xiao Qiongzhi nodded again and again very convincingly: "I understand, thank you uncle for your teaching." By the way, uncle, just now, did you deliberately pretend to fall from the tree? ”
In this matter, she was worried about Zheng Bang at the time, and she didn't think much about it.
Looking back now, I realize something is wrong.
Zheng Bang's kung fu is so good, how can he be so good, he suddenly couldn't stand steadily, made a move that leaned down and almost fell?
"Zhi'er, you guessed it, I did it on purpose to lure the tiger into being fooled, and I felt that yelling at us would frighten us more than pounce on us, so I kept roaring and exposing its big mouth so that you could shoot a crossbow arrow at its throat."
"However, I didn't have time to remind you of my intentions, so you immediately seized the opportunity to make a move, this shrewdness and courage are really like your father! It's remarkable! Zheng Bang was sincerely amazed.
"Then, among my brothers and sisters, am I the only one who is most like my father?" Xiao Qiongzhi had an idea, and took advantage of Zheng Bang's good mood to ask curiously.
