Xiangling and He Hua'er were happily picking mushrooms, and a low tiger roar came into Xiangling's ears, so frightened that Xiangling didn't have time to think, pulled He Hua'er to the tree, threw the basket in the grass, bent down, and said eagerly: "Climb up with me." ”

Although He Hua'er didn't know what was happening, when she saw Xiangling's miserable face, she obediently stepped on Xiangling's shoulder and stood firm holding the trunk.

Xiangling leaned on the trunk of the tree and supported He Hua'er to stand up slowly, He Hua'er reached out just enough to reach the first branch, and swung up.

After climbing up, he hung his legs upside down to pull Xiangling's hand, and found that he couldn't reach Xiangling, the trunk was straight up and down, and there was no branch at all, Xiangling couldn't climb up at all with his own strength, and he was so anxious that He Hua'er's tears were about to fall.

Xiangling listened to the sound and found that the tiger had not yet arrived, so she hurriedly said to He Hua'er: "Don't panic, untie the belt for me." ”

He Hua'er immediately untied the belt and threw it to Xiangling, and Xiangling also untied her belt.

Two belts, one tied around the ankles and one wrapped around the branches, looped around the trunk like a hula hoop, and then got into it by itself.

As for the pants, the two ends are twisted into a dead knot, so that they will not fall off for the time being.

Xiangling used the support of the two belts, as well as the angle between the rope and the body, in a triangular switch, although it was very slow, but with the support of the rope and the body, she still climbed the tree.

This method is when Xiangling went to college, the physical education teacher talked about it when he was idle, and the ancient coconut farmers used this method to climb the coconut tree without a focus point, which was very flexible and fast, comparable to a spirit monkey.

At that time, Xiangling also checked the relevant video out of curiosity, and thought it was fun, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

Xiangling climbed the tree awkwardly, the tiger's howl became louder and louder, even He Hua'er heard it, and was so frightened that she grabbed Xiangling's arm tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiangling, I'm afraid." ”

Xiangling looked calm on the surface, but in fact, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The tiger finally ran away, his steps were a little shaky, and he had a crossbow arrow stuck in his neck, no wonder Xiangling ran so long after hearing the sound, it turned out that the tiger was seriously injured.

The tiger lingered under the tree for a while, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiangling and He Hua'er, and was so frightened that He Hua'er's palms were sweating again.

The tiger did not stop, and after a few circles under the tree, he burrowed into the forest again.

Xiangling's hanging heart finally fell, and she untied the belt on her body and returned it to He Hua'er and said, "Quickly tie the belt, don't drop your pants." ”

He Hua'er took the belt and tried to squeeze out a smile, but the smile was more ugly than crying.

Xiangling was about to untie the belt tied to her feet, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and her body froze, not daring to move.

Three men came running, looking at their expressions, they should be chasing the tiger in front.

And their attire, obviously, is not Orion.

The three of them wore dark red civilian clothes, uniform riding boots, and were equipped with standard long knives and crossbows.

Ordinary hunters can only carry hunting knives and feather arrows, and cannot carry weapons or crossbows with blades more than two feet long.

Listening to He's words, the two military barracks have been closed, how can these three soldiers come out at will?

Although the casual clothes of one person in the middle are also dark red, the material is obviously better than the other two, it is a bright satin surface, and it should be the head of three people.

This person is about 20 years old, with a figure between 1.8 and 1.9 meters, a well-proportioned figure, looking quite thin, but his chest muscles are solid and powerful.

The hair is tied up high, the hair is smooth and shiny, the eyebrows are firm, the lips are slightly thin, and the eyes are not large, but they are very spiritual.

The overall feeling of the man is masculine and not rough, that is, tranquil and not feminine, he is completely a person who grew up in Xiangling's aesthetic point, and Xiangling is a little drooling when he sees it.

A lean man beside the man saw the direction of the bloodstains under the tree, observed the surroundings again, and said to the man: "Big brother, the tiger should have fled to the southwest, it is the eagle's beak cliff, should we still chase it?" ”

The man sighed and asked rhetorically, "Can we not chase?" ”

The other short and fat man waved the crossbow in his hand angrily and scolded, "Bullshit King Overseer! Are you here to overseer or are you here to eat, drink, and be merry?! Yesterday I ate bear paws, today I have to eat tiger whips, and tomorrow I don't know what turtle calves to eat, an old man in his fifties, a woman who sleeps in a tent every day, and he is not afraid to make up for himself to death and exhaustion! ”

The man said angrily, "What nonsense? Let the people of the king overseer listen to it, do we still have a life? ”

"Big brother, how can there be anyone else in this forest? If Wang Overseer's people came, Lao Tzu just slapped him with a knife and vented his anger to the eldest brother! Puzzled, he slashed at the trunk with his knife.

This knife was full of power, the trunk of the tree was slashed and shook, the branches and leaves trembled, and He Hua'er's body was so frightened that his body also trembled, and the man under the tree immediately noticed that when he raised his hand, a crossbow arrow flew out.

said that it was too late, Xiangling pushed He Hua'er forward hard, twisted her body backwards as much as she could, and the arrow passed through the middle of the two, lost her balance, and the two fell off the tree together.

Fortunately, the tree was not particularly tall, and there were old rotten leaves piled up on the ground, which smashed on the basket of mushroom picking, and the two of them did not cause substantial damage except for the pain in their buttocks.

Two knives were pressed against the necks of the two girls at the same time.

"Say, did the King Overseer send you to follow you?" Humpty Dumpty is aggressive.

He Hua'er was so frightened that she became dumb and couldn't say a word.

Xiangling looked at the three men in front of her, and finally made a very embarrassing decision, opened her mouth and cried with a "wow", crying and angry: "You smashed my mushrooms, you have to compensate me for the mushrooms, if you don't pay, I will go home and tell my mother, let my mother take a broom, and open your buttocks........

.......The three men were stunned at the same time, and their eyes were focused on Chu Xiangling again.

The little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in burlap clothes, patches and patches, could not see the original color after washing, her hair was yellow and dull, her eyes were big but a little dull, she cried like a three-year-old child, rubbing her sore buttocks with one hand, pulling the loose trouser belt with the other hand, and her feet were wrapped around the trouser belt, like a tie but not a tie.

The most important thing is that under the buttocks, the basket and a lot of newly picked mushrooms are crushed, and the butt is sticky and dirty.

All kinds of images show that these two girls are village girls who go up to the mountain to pick mushrooms, and this crying brain is obviously a little abnormal.

Maybe it was a coincidence that I dodged that arrow just now.

Yang Qingyue ruled out the possibility of the two of them being conspiracy, put her hand into her arms, took out a money bag, carefully counted out twenty-six copper plates from it, handed them thirteen to each of Lotus and Xiangling, and explained seriously: "Now the price of fresh white mushrooms in the county is one penny per catty, and these two baskets are filled with a maximum of twenty catties, and I will compensate you for twenty cents; The small willow basket is two cents a piece, and then I will compensate you for four cents, and there are scattered wild vegetables, and I will compensate you for two cents. ”

"......." Xiangling forgot to cry, and looked at the man in front of her in a daze, is this man serious?

How did he manage to have such a big bag of money on him, but fight for everything?

How did he manage to be in a high position and yet know the prices of white mushrooms, baskets, and wild vegetables?

Looking at the man's eyes, Xiangling was sure and sure that this man was serious, more real than diamonds.

The man ignored Xiangling's scrutinizing gaze and said to the two good brothers: "It's not early, hurry up and chase the tiger, so as not to make any more noise from the Wang Overseer." ”

The three of them ran to the southwest, and the Xiangling ghost sent a god to say, "The tiger ran in the opposite direction." ”

The man didn't look back, and chased in the direction Xiangling said without thinking.
