After nightfall, Yunjia Village is peaceful and quiet, each family has already had dinner, and the family members who went up the mountain to help have also returned, gathered in one place to drink a bowl of coarse tea, talk about the hard work on the mountain, the thrill of the Zhao family's lady, and the scene that makes people blush at the entrance of the village, it is the lively time, suddenly, on the northeast corner of the village, there was a roar of a tiger, and the whole mountain village was instantly shocked!

A tiger has come down!

The man immediately threw away the tea bowl, picked up the daughter-in-law and children, hid in the house, and then picked up the woodcutter or shovel, ran out of the door, gathered together, shouted and wanted to drive the tiger back to the mountain, there was a good hand at hunting on weekdays, and even carried a bow and arrow, thinking that if the tiger could be hunted, it would definitely be a small fortune.

It's a pity that everyone followed the sound to find it, but in the end they heard that the tiger roar was actually from the courtyard of the Zhao family, so they looked at each other, not knowing whether they should go in and ask a few words, before they went up the steps and knocked on the door, the wind was already a little strange, seeing everyone like this, he hugged his fists and said, "Folks, we are few... No, our shopkeeper just went up the mountain to catch a tiger and came back, ready to take some tiger bones to soak in wine, disturbing everyone, and looking at Haihan, our shopkeeper said, just tomorrow night's banquet, you can also add a stewed tiger meat for everyone to taste fresh. ”

The first few older people hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile, "It turned out that the shopkeeper caught the tiger and came back, it was really a false alarm, so everyone didn't care, if the shopkeeper needed our help, just shout." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you folks for your concern." Feng Cao thanked him, and when he saw that everyone had turned around, he closed the door and ran back to the backyard.

In the main room in the backyard, when the tiger roared for the first time, Ruixue suddenly got up, instinctively grabbed the pillow next to him and smashed it out, Caiyun came in with a teapot, and was smashed on the head, the teapot and bowl fell to the ground with a bang, broken into pieces, the little girl didn't know why, and hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake, "Mrs. is angry, Mrs. is angry." ”

Rui Xue blinked her eyes twice, looked around, and was indeed in her own room, so she thought she was having a nightmare, rubbed her temples vigorously with both hands, and said, "Hurry up, I was scared by a dream, thinking that a tiger was barking." ”

Caiyun looked up, swept out the window twice with big eyes, and didn't know how to reply, so he squatted down to pick up the teapot fragments.

At this time, Zhao Fengnian had already walked in, saw that the ground was full of mess, guessed one or two, sat next to Rui Xue, and was just about to speak, when another tiger roar came from outside the window, Rui Xue was so shocked that he hugged him tightly and shouted, "There is a tiger!" The tiger on the hill is down! ”

Zhao Fengnian hurriedly patted her on the back and reassured, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I caught that tiger and tied it to the yard, it can't hurt you!" ”

Rui Xue looked up in surprise, her eyes were a little panicked, "That tiger... Will eat people! ”

"No, no, we'll kill it right away, and it won't be able to eat people anymore!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

Zhao Fengnian helped Ruixue, who was a little pale, to sit on the edge of the kang, put on her shoes with his own hands, avoided the porcelain pieces on the ground, and opened the door to go out.

Caiyun Caiyue was very eye-catching, one moved a chair, the other took a thin quilt and soft cushions, and waited for his wife to sit comfortably on the steps.

At this time, more than a dozen torches have been inserted around the yard, burning extremely vigorously, from time to time there are a few crisp sounds, illuminating the yard in detail, just like day, the tiger seems to understand that his situation is worrying, but also anxious, angry and restless with his claws to grasp the bluestone ground, leaving a white trace, so that the seeers are all cold in the bottom of their hearts, if they catch the body, I am afraid that the skin will immediately open the flesh.

Sister-in-law Zhang settled Niuniu to live in the south house of the West Chamber, and Wu Yu became a neighbor, Niuniu shouted that she was hungry, and Sister-in-law Zhang brought her freshly steamed steamed buns and a big bowl of braised pork.

Sister-in-law Zhang sat aside and led her to gossip, hearing that she lived alone in the mountains, her heart was very pityful, and she was about to go to find a dress to coax her to change, when there was a tiger's roar in the yard, Niuniu's eyes widened, and immediately shouted, "Ah, it's rhubarb!" ”

As he spoke, he jumped off the kang, grabbed the stick that poked at the edge of the kang, and ran out. Wu Yu also rushed out with a long knife, and the two inevitably bumped into one place, one fell to the door frame, and the other knocked on the corner of the table, both of them had eyes bigger than a cow, and they were about to quarrel in one place, and then Zhang's sister-in-law who rushed out suddenly pointed out the door and said in horror, "There are tigers, there are tigers!" ”

The two immediately ceased fighting, Qi Qi turned his head to look out, Wu Yu saw the golden fur at a glance, and remembered the golden hair on the mountain bushes, at that time he thought that his sister was eaten by this beast, he wanted to cramp and pull out the bones, drinking its blood could not relieve the hatred, and now, it was actually sent to the door! How could he not be murderous? Where do you remember quarreling with Niuniu, jumping out in three or two steps, and it was a knife according to the tiger's head.

Niuniu stomped her feet in hatred and shouted, "Rhubarb is mine!" Then he rushed forward with his stick in his hand.

The two of you have a knife, I have a stick, and the tiger with limited mobility is forced to roar again and again, desperately grasping with its claws, biting with its teeth, and shaking its tail, hoping to save its life and return to the mountains and forests.

It's a pity, it's useless to struggle like this, Niuniu has wanted to kill it for many days, Wu Yu is to count the pain suffered by her sister on its body, the two quarreled fiercely, really cooperated, it was quite easy, but in a moment, I was hit by more than a dozen knives, the blood flowed like an infusion, and the leg was also crippled, and it was difficult to shake my body to stand firm, and finally fell to the ground with a pop, and whimpered low in my mouth, telling its grievances, I didn't even eat half a mouthful of meat, how could I vent my hatred, not one, The two of them bullied me a...

Niuniu was holding a stick, panting, and complaining, "You stupid, your good fur has been ruined, and you can only change half a jar of salt!" ”

Wu Yu rolled his eyes disdainfully and replied, "You are not lighter than me!" As he spoke, he also gasped twice, and then he was about to step forward with a long knife to cut off the tiger's head, but he heard Zhao Fengnian on the steps shouting, "Wait." ”

Wu Yu frowned and put down the knife, turned around and asked, "What, do you want to spare its life?" ”

Zhao Fengnian didn't answer his words, and looked down at Rui Xue with a pale face, "Look, no matter how powerful this tiger is, it can only be tied to a tree by me, and beaten to death by Brother Yu and the girl, it has always been the human heart, not these beasts, right?" ”

Rui Xue guessed that he acted like this in order to get rid of the fear entrenched in her heart, and couldn't help but feel extremely sweet, and her face was much more relaxed, "The shopkeeper is right, it's always the human heart that is more terrifying." ”

"Then why are you afraid of this beast? If one of its claws hurts your hand, tell me, I'll cut it off and stew it tomorrow morning. ”

"You are like a tiger's paws and bear's paws," Rui Xue chuckled, and when she saw the tiger lying under the tree, she remembered how proud and contemptuous it was last night, and took eating her and the child as a matter of course, so her heart hated it, "Go, go to me, I want to kill it with my own hands." ”

As soon as Caiyun Caiyue heard this, she immediately begged her to think twice, but when she saw the shopkeeper, she didn't mean to stop her at all, and she helped her down the steps with a smile.

Wu Yu heard that his sister was going to kill the tiger with her own hands, so she stepped forward and stepped on the tiger's head, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't be afraid, Brother Yu stepped on it for you to ensure that it can't move at all." ”

Niuniu snorted and said with great disdain, "With your little strength, it's not as good as when I was three years old." She said so, and stepped on the tiger's right leg under her feet.

Rui Xue took the long knife, held the handle with both hands, and stood beside the tiger, her nervous arms stiffened, the tiger seemed to know that its life was short, struggling violently, with a low roar in her throat, and her big eyes were full of pleading...

Seeing this, Rui Xue miraculously stopped being afraid, and sneered, "When I begged you not to eat me, did you think that there would be such a retribution tonight?" ”

As soon as the words fell, she slammed the knife in her hand into the white hair on the tiger's chest, the tip of the knife did not go in three inches, and the tiger suffered more painfully, Zhao Fengnian quickly protected his wife and children with one hand, and supported the handle of the knife with one hand.

The tiger struggled more and more weakly, and finally convulsed a few times, and was no longer silent.

Rui Xue exhaled a long breath, trembled and leaned into Zhao Fengnian's arms, and said with a reluctant smile, "Shopkeeper, we can't do such bloody things in the future, otherwise our children will think that their parents are bad people who love to kill." ”

"Our children are smart, they must know that their parents are angry for them." Zhao Fengnian took his wife and children and walked back slowly, and said with a chuckle.

"The shopkeeper is right, there will be great blessings after the catastrophe, and our children may grow up to be heroes who fight tigers."

"Tiger Hero, do you want our children to grow up to be hunters?"

"Anything they can do, as long as they are happy, and the tiger skin will be peeled off, sewn and sewn and make a tiger skin mat, and the children will be able to crawl and play on it by this time next year."

"Okay, Brother Yu'er, this kid doesn't have a sense of proportion, or the girl is smart, she knows how to kill without hurting her fur."

Wu Yu stepped on the tiger's head, and saw his sister and brother-in-law laughing and returning to the house, this grievance in his heart, "I am to avenge my sister, why is there no sense of proportion?" ”

Niu Niu was complimented, and triumphantly carried her treasure stick, and sneered as she turned her head and walked back, "You fool, if you are a hunter, you will starve to death in a few days." ”

Wu Yu was even more annoyed, strode up and shouted, "You're stupid..."

The two small ones also quarreled and returned to the West Chamber, leaving a few people in the yard to look at each other for a long time, Yushun went to untie the rope, Feng Tuo went to pull out the long knife, Zhang Dahe and his wife brought clean water to help scrub the yard, and soon, the yard returned to its original appearance, as if there had never been a tiger here just now who had never been a victim of someone's favorite wife.

The window of the east chamber slowly closed most of it, and the iron boss yawned and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect the second brother to have such a favorite woman, but it is much more pleasing to the eye than the original cold appearance." ”

Bai Zhanpeng snorted coldly, turned his head and poured herbal tea and drank it, muttering, "It's useless!" ”
