Chapter 412: Night in the Woods
Xie Wanqing stood up and leaned against the trunk of the tree behind her, and it took a while to feel that her heartbeat slowly stabilized.
She struggled to brace herself, stood a little straighter, and looked at the tiger's corpse on the ground. From such an angle, she could see the whole picture of this tiger up close, and she realized in her heart that this tiger was really big, so big that it was terrifying.
The tiger was covered in blood, with a sword stuck in its neck that still glistened coldly, and it was all the more terrifying because part of its body was hidden in the darkness of the night's woods.
"Are you hurt?" Yu Sufu saw that she was staggering when she stood up, so she asked very worriedly. After all, Xie Wanqing is a pregnant woman, and she has just been so frightened, if she is injured again, it is difficult to say what will happen to the child.
"I'm fine." Xie Wanqing waved her hand at him and smiled: "It didn't hurt me." It's butterfly fragrance......"
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Diexiang who was standing on the side, and asked her, "Are you hurt?" Did you fall from the horse or break it? ”
Diexiang lowered her head and shook her head slowly, and whispered with a still palpitating look: "I'm fine, thank you Madame for sacrificing her life to save me today, Diexiang is grateful." ”
She looked at Xie Wanqing's eyes overflowing with indescribable gratitude, what she said was really what she said in her heart, if it weren't for Xie Wanqing tonight, she would definitely die.
Nowadays, it is really difficult to meet such a master, who is willing to risk his life for his own subordinates and attract the attention of the tiger to himself.
Diexiang didn't know what she should say, but she secretly made up her mind in her heart that no matter what kind of things happened in the future, she would follow Xie Wanqing with all her heart.
"It's okay." Xie Wanqing smiled at her, then turned her head to Yu Sufu, with a rejuvenated expression, pointed to the tiger on the ground and said to him, "Why don't we take it for dinner tonight, what do you think?" ”
"It's such a big one, we can eat it for a few days." As she spoke, she also stretched out her finger and gestured, looking very serious, thinking that their food along the way had finally been settled.
It's the first time Yu Sufu has seen such a woman, is she really a person who has just been closed from the ghost gate? He has indeed seen a lot of people with big hearts, but it is the first time he has seen such a big heart.
He really wanted to cut open this woman's head and see what was inside? What kind of structure is it, and why is it so different from what normal people think?
"Tiger meat is hard to eat." Yu Sufu crossed his arms, tilted his head and glanced at Xie Wanqing lightly, and said without emotion: "If you want to eat it, I don't like it." ”
"That's a pity, so much meat is not delicious." Xie Wanqing shook her head with a regretful face and said, "Then you at least want to peel off this tiger skin for me, right?" It's so big and so complete, it's really rare, and it's definitely worth a lot. ”
Xie Wanqing said, with a light in her eyes, and she looked like she had opened her eyes when she saw money.
Yu Sufu glanced at the corpse on the ground, which could be called a behemoth, and was silent thoughtfully for a moment before saying, "This is okay, but I will never do such a thing as skinning myself, so leave it to Wang Wu." ”
"That's good." Xie Wanqing rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, returned to her lively appearance, went up and directly grabbed the tiger's tail, and said to Yu Sufu and Diexiang who were standing there: "You guys come and help me!" ”
Diexiang was also shocked by Xie Wanqing's good attitude, thinking that the general's vision was really extraordinary, and the general's wife was really a strange woman.
What she didn't know was that in Xie Wanqing's seemingly ordinary body, there was actually a soul that had experienced two lives. She has seen too much of the warmth and sorrow of people in this world, so her mentality has long been calm.
She can deal with anything calmly, after all, she is a person who has already died once, even if she Xie Wanqing really dies today, she has nothing to regret.
In this way, the three of them dragged the tiger carcass that weighed the weight of four or five adult men, and walked towards the cave before with great difficulty.
Wang Wu had already built a fire there, and was sitting by the campfire, very anxiously waiting for the few of them to come back. Actually, he really wanted to go to them, but Yu Sufu had told him before he left that he didn't allow him to run around, so he could only wait here.
But I have to say that it is really a very bad feeling to be alone in the dark woods around here, even if there is a blazing bonfire in front of him, the chill in his heart has not been dispelled for half a minute.
So after seeing the figure of Yu Sufu and a few of them, Wang Wu jumped up at once, and then hurriedly greeted them.
"This, this is?" When he saw the big colorful tiger dragged back by the three people, he was obviously taken aback, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't finish his words.
Xie Wanqing smiled and said to him: "Give you a good task, peel off the skin of this beast for me, peel it completely, and I will use it as a cushion for my aunt." ”
Wang Wu hurriedly responded, his father and grandfather were farmers, and he had peeled a lot of rabbit skins, so he was barely a good hand, even if he found a dagger, he did it.
As for what the few of them encountered just now, although he was curious in his heart, he didn't ask too much. In fact, after seeing this huge corpse, he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart.
Over there, Xie Wanqing walked to the bonfire, found a more comfortable position, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, leaning on the trunk of a big tree behind him without any shape, and the red orange light of the bonfire was reflected in her eyes.
She said leisurely: "Yu Sufu, hurry up and think about what we will do tomorrow, now it's okay, the horses are all gone, how can you rush this way?" ”
"There's a small town not far ahead." Yu Sufu sat beside her, and the tax collector picked up a branch and began to stir the campfire in front of him, and said, "It will take about two days to walk from here to that town, and we will just buy horses when we get to that town." ”
Thinking of the way she had to go, Xie Wanqing felt a little desperate in her heart, she sighed and said, "Okay, that's the only way to do it now." ”
Who made her so unlucky? If you spend the night in the woods and you can meet a tiger, you really have no luck.
Wang Wu's movements over there were also very sharp, and soon, a very complete tiger skin was peeled off, and there was blood dripping on it, and it could be seen that it was a big ball in Wang Wu's hand.
Yu Sufu and Wang Wu found two longer branches, hung the tiger skin on them, and dried them on the bonfire, and they ate a little bit of the wild fruits in the forest.
Today, several of them are physically and mentally exhausted, especially Xie Wanqing, who didn't feel it when her spirit had been tense before, but now as soon as she relaxed, she immediately felt that her whole body seemed to be about to fall apart, and it was very sore.
She leaned against the trunk of the tree, feeling the warmth transmitted by the bonfire in front of her, and after a while, her upper and lower eyelids fought, and the whole person tilted her head, and fell asleep on the trunk of the tree.
Yu Sufu was originally fiddling with the bonfire, but after a while, he heard a very shallow and even breathing sound coming from his side, he turned his head to look to the side, and saw Xie Wanqing's face sleeping very sweetly.
It's just that she didn't know what she dreamed of, and she was still frowning tightly in her sleep.
Yu Sufu smiled helplessly, stood up and took off the robe he was wearing, lightly covered Xie Wanqing's body, and reached out to smooth her eyebrows.
He couldn't sleep tonight, it seemed that the forest was still full of dangers, and someone needed to keep watch all night.
Wang Wu and Diexiang also fell asleep quickly, and the only person who was awake around the bonfire was Yu Sufu, who looked at the bonfire in front of him boredly, and added some firewood into it from time to time, just waiting for dawn.
