"You come with me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The old woman said and turned and walked out the door. Although Zheng Pei didn't know what to do, he could only get up and follow.

The two stood in front of the path, and the old woman turned around and wiped it horizontally on Zheng Pei's forehead with her thumb, Zheng Pei knew that this was passing on a little cultivation to him. After that, the two walked down the path one after the other and came to the house on the other side.

The old woman walked to the well and said with a blank face: "Help me do something, carry water, chop wood and make a fire, and I will make porridge." ”

"Hmm." These are all trivial things, Zheng Pei agreed very happily, after all, the mouth of eating people is short, yesterday he drank a bucket of porridge from the old woman, how can he do something to compensate. Zheng Pei didn't ramble, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to fetch water, but he was stopped by the old woman.

Facing Zheng Pei's puzzled expression, the old woman said slowly: "When you do these things today, you have to take off your shirt." ”

Zheng Pei immediately felt embarrassed, he couldn't think of the reason for such a strange request. But Ba Niang told the old woman to do whatever she wanted, and he couldn't refuse, so Zheng Pei hesitated to take off his shirt. At this time, it was dawn, the sun had not yet come out, and although the wind in the forest was not strong, it was still very cold mixed with the morning humidity. Zheng Pei's thin body was black and thin, the ribs on both sides were clearly lined, and as soon as the mountain wind passed, the goosebumps on his body were densely packed. But the old woman seemed to want to make Zheng Pei suffer something, but she didn't see it, and sat at the door of the wooden house to watch Zheng Pei work.

Drawing water from the well was far more laborious than it seemed, and when Zheng Pei pulled the bucket up, his feet slipped, and the cold well water poured out of the bucket and hit him, and Zheng Pei almost screamed coldly. At this time, as soon as the mountain wind passed, Zheng Pei was so cold that he shivered. To make matters worse, the water soaked his pants as well, and the cold pressed against his legs, feeling like he was being tortured.

The old woman smiled and said, "Oh, it's still young." ”

Zheng Pei frowned after hearing this, the old woman's ridicule made him feel very embarrassed, he originally wanted to put on his shirt, but now his awkward temperament has come up, and he wants to do something to show the old woman. So he tensed the muscles on his body, and he felt a slight heat. He didn't feel the cold mountain wind, and threw the bucket into the well to get a second bucket of water.

The sun had risen, and a layer of mist had gradually risen above the mountains and forests, making it look exceptionally clean. At this time, Zheng Pei had already filled the water tank, but his palms had been worn by the wet rope, and he felt that his waist was about to be straightened. But what made him most uncomfortable was that the well water and sweat attached a layer to his body, and as soon as the mountain wind passed, the cold air passed directly through his back from the front of his heart, making him feel that his body had been frozen numb.

The old woman didn't say a word, but always looked at him with a smile.

Zheng Pei felt that he had to persevere to the end, and he couldn't be embarrassed in front of an old lady. He picked up the axe from the ground and walked to the pyre, where there was a large mess of tree trunks and branches, and he had to chop out the firewood for the day to dry. The courtyard resounded with the monotonous sound of Zheng Pei chopping wood, but soon the frequency of the sound became slower and slower, and finally Zheng Pei threw the axe and sat on the ground panting. He hadn't eaten since last night, he was already hungry, and with the excitement of the well water, he was now completely out of strength. He looked at the old woman a little dejectedly, and the old woman looked at him with a grin.

There was a sudden sound of branches ringing in the back of his head, and when Zheng Pei looked back, he saw a gray shadow directly knocking him to the ground, Zheng Pei's back pierced into sharp sawdust, and after the gray shadow ran away, he only felt a hot pain in his cheeks and forehead, and when he touched it with his hands, his hands were red.

Zheng Pei stood up and picked up the axe from the side, and only then did he realize that the gray shadow was a huge feline beast! The head was small and the body was large, a little bigger than the earth dogs in their village, and the whole body was gray and gray, dotted with some black spots. What Zheng Pei was very concerned about was that this big cat had long black hairs on the tips of each of its ears, which looked strange. Right now, the big cat's eyes were staring at Zheng Pei tightly, testing back and forth in front of him, and a fierce roar of "purr" came out of his throat. Zheng Pei clenched the axe, the blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes, he wiped it, his vision was blurred, he was already exhausted, and now the pain of the wound was even worse, Zheng Pei barely held the axe, and his legs were trembling all the time.

The big cat walked back and forth, deliberately mobilizing Zheng Pei's attention, and Zheng Pei's fatigue seemed to make it feel determined to win. Suddenly, the big cat caught a gap in Zheng Pei's attention and pounced on it! Zheng Pei only felt a gust of wind coming from the side, instinctively using the handle of the axe, time stood still for a moment, Zheng Pei felt a hot and humid breath, warmly wrapped around his arm, but then there was a sharp pain that pierced his heart! The big cat pressed the handle of the axe with its front paws and bit Zheng Pei's arm fiercely! Blood was gushing out from the corners of the big cat's mouth, and in addition to the severe pain, Zheng Pei could feel the cat's teeth piercing his muscles, constantly rubbing the ulna of his left arm. The big cat's mouth spewed a billowing fishy breath, and the greed for blood burning in the cat's eyes made Zheng Pei feel extremely disgusted. The big cat bit Zheng Pei's arm, but Zheng Pei couldn't bear its weight because of the severe pain, and the whole person pressed back on the big cat's body. The axe fell to the side, Zheng Pei pressed his left leg against the cat's belly, ignoring the scratching of the cat's front paws, and freed his right hand to fight hard, but gradually, he felt the blackening in front of him, and the strength in his body was constantly disappearing. Finally, Zheng Pei collapsed to the side as weakly as a stake, and the big cat took the opportunity to pull the tooth out of his arm, and a bone flashed to the side.

Zheng Pei was lying on the ground, at this time he could no longer feel the existence of his left arm, his vision was slowly darkening, and he felt that his soul was gradually abandoning his body. The big cat stood up and shook his head, the blood on his mouth was thrown everywhere, and he was punched by Zheng Pei a few times just now, and there was both Zheng Pei's and its own in this blood. And after some kicking, the hair on the big cat's body is simply a mess. Zheng Pei looked at the big cat walking towards him, and laughed self-deprecatingly, he originally wanted to help others, but he didn't expect that he was going to die in this unknown place. The big cat pressed his chest with its front paws and sniffed down at the side of Zheng Pei's neck. Zheng Pei closed his eyes, he thought of his mother, and sighed in his heart that he couldn't fulfill his filial piety. And at the moment when he closed his eyes, the big cat bit Zheng Pei's neck, and the fangs effortlessly pierced his carotid artery, and blood splattered everywhere, spraying into the air from the gap in the wound......
