Chapter Two Hundred and Eight: A Mortal
It didn't take long for Chen Chen to come back from the dense forest, and there was an extra snake more than a meter long in his hand. Seeing that Qu'er's foot was injured, Chen Chen said with concern, "Why are you injured?"
"It's okay, it's just scratched!" Qu'er looked at the snake in Chen Chen's hand that had been killed, and wondered, "This snake won't be poisonous, right?"
"No, this snake is not poisonous!" Chen Chen squatted down in front of Qu'er and said, "Come on, I'll carry you back!" With this snake, I can finally have a good meal at night!"
"Oh!" Seeing Chen Chen squatting in front of him, Qu Er replied and then gently lay on Chen Chen's back.
Chen Chen, who felt that Qu'er had come up, also stood up, and then walked down the mountain step by step. In the end, he was only eight years old, and Chen Chen's strength was not great, plus he was carrying a song on his back, and after walking for a while, he already felt a little exhausted. Fortunately, it's all downhill, and it takes much less effort than going uphill.
With his own persistence, Chen Chen carried all the way to a ruined temple on the mountainside. For Chen Chen and Qu'er, this is the home of the two of them. Back in the ruined temple, Chen Chen put down Qu'er You and sat down on the haystack to rest.
"Give me the snake, I'll go and peel off all the snake's skin, and then use it to stew soup and eat!" Qu Er also knew that Chen Chen's body must be too tired to come down by herself, although she kept asking her to come down and take a walk on the way, but Chen Chen directly refused on the grounds that she had a foot injury.
Qu'er, who took the snake from Chen Chen's hand, also walked out of the broken temple directly with a firewood knife that was not sharp, and Chen Chen, who was lying on the grass, was also resting desperately. Looking at the holes in the roof, Chen Chen could even see the sky that had gradually darkened through the holes above.
"Oh my God, when you are a mortal, there is still such a test?" Thinking that he was going to be a mortal for the rest of his life, Chen Chen's mood became even more unhappy, which meant that he had to live for fifty or sixty years, to say the least. Here, he didn't have any cultivation, let alone cultivation, with the current situation of him and Qu'er, Chen Chen felt that even if the two of them could not starve to death, it would already be a very good thing.
It didn't take long for Qu'er to directly take a snake that had been handled by her back to the temple. After cutting the whole snake into sections, he threw it directly into a pot, and after adding water, he directly lit a fire.
After Qu'er lit the fire with flint, he added some firewood to it. Seeing that Chen Chen was lying on the side in a daze at this time, Qu Er couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about so seriously!"
"I'm thinking that we shouldn't be able to continue like this, even if I am a mortal, I don't want to live by begging for the rest of my life, I don't want to eat the last meal every day and think about the next meal!" Chen Chen looked at Qu Er with a serious face and said, "I remember that there is a tiger in the back mountain of ours, and I plan to find a way to kill it, and the meat will be left to eat, and the tiger skin will be sold directly in the town!"
"I thought what you wanted to do! In the end, I just wanted to kill that tiger!" Qu Er added some firewood to it, "Don't tease, you are not the Chen Chen from before, and I am not the same me as before." If the two of us want to kill the tiger, it's impossible, and maybe the tiger will eat it!"
"Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and relying on the water to eat the water, since we don't go to the town to beg, then we can only count on this mountain!" Chen Chen looked at the firewood knife on the ground that could no longer be called a knife, and he was also in trouble in his heart. Even if you want to hunt, you need to have tools, otherwise the prey will not be caught, and you may have become the prey's dinner!
Seeing that Qu'er didn't reply to his words, Chen Chen didn't say anything, but in his mind, he was thinking about what methods he should have used to get some useful tools back. After the two were quiet for a while, Qu Er suddenly said: "By the way, I remember that there is a lake in the back mountain, where there may be fish or something! No, there are tigers in the back mountain, it is not safe!"
"Forehead ......" Chen Chen's eyes were still bright, but when he heard Qu'er say that there were tigers in the back mountain that were not safe, he was even more determined in his heart to destroy the tiger that was infesting everywhere.
By the time the two of them had finished the snake meat, it was already getting late. After dinner, the two of them went straight to sleep on the haystack, and it was dark, and they couldn't light the oil lamp, so the two of them could only sleep at night.
At dawn the next day, Chen Chen got up early, and then went out directly with the firewood knife. After half an hour, Chen Chen dragged a few small trees and came back directly. Well, those so-called small trees are said to be small trees, but they are actually about the size of firewood. After dragging the small trees to the temple gate, Chen Chen directly cut those trees into several sections with a firewood knife, and then each section was sharpened by Chen Chen with a firewood knife.
Hearing the sound outside, Qu'er also woke up in a daze. Seeing that Chen Chen was tinkering with some things before dawn this day, he asked curiously, "Why did you get up so early today, what are you doing with these things?"
"Of course it's used to make traps!" Chen Chen replied without hesitation, "I plan to kill the tiger after I finish these things today!"
"Wait, we can't kill the tiger, don't be stupid!" Qu'er warned, "Don't forget that you are no longer the same you used to be!"
"Don't worry, I have self-knowledge!" Chen Chen said impatiently, "Okay, what exactly do I know in my heart, don't continue to worry about it here!"
"That's okay, you continue to be busy here, I'm going to town!" Seeing Chen Chen's impatient look, Qu'er didn't continue to say anything, just told his whereabouts and left directly.
Chen Chen didn't care too much about Qu'er's departure, and he was constantly tinkering with these things. It didn't take long for Chen Chen to be directly pounded out of a square shell by him, and Chen Chen added a piece of wood with sharpened wood all around.
"Hehe, it's okay now!" Chen Chen couldn't help but smile smugly when he looked at his masterpiece, and then directly put the shell on his body, and then directly dragged the heavy shell directly into the temple, and constantly stuffed the hay in that place into his body.
After filling it with hay, Chen Chen's whole person fell directly to the ground, and Chen Chen, who felt that he was not in pain, did not hesitate to directly take two sharpened "spears" and the firewood knife and walked directly to the back mountain.
After Qu'er came back, Qu'er suddenly found that Chen Chen was gone, "You won't really kill that tiger!" Qu'er, who had searched inside and out, still didn't find any trace of Chen Chen, thinking of what Chen Chen said in the morning, so he hurriedly rushed to the direction of the back mountain.
With a heavy shell dragged on his body, he already felt very tired just carrying such a thing up the mountain, and when Chen Chen arrived at the back mountain, Chen Chen's whole person was almost tired.
......Just as Chen Chen was about to rest on the spot, Chen Chen suddenly heard a tiger roar from behind. After Chen Chen turned around, he finally saw the tiger not far away through the two holes, "No, I found the tiger before I was ready for anything?"
The tiger looked at the "monster" in front of him with a vigilant expression, and cautiously approached Chen Chen. Looking at the tiger that was getting closer and closer to him, Chen Chen mustered up the courage and walked directly towards the tiger with heavy steps.
"Roar!" As Chen Chen got closer and closer to the tiger, the tiger pounced directly on Chen Chen.
Looking at the tiger that pounced, Chen Chen hurriedly grabbed the sharpened wooden stick in his hand with both hands and aimed it at the tiger stab. Although Chen Chen's body is a child's body, and his strength is also the strength of an ordinary child, Chen Chen's previous memories and experiences are still there.
"Poof...... Touching ......"
With Chen Chen's old experience, he successfully stabbed the tiger in the heart with just one blow, but because Chen Chen's strength was too small, Chen Chen only pierced the flesh and skin of others at this time, and did not seriously injure or kill the tiger.
Chen Chen, who was directly hit by the tiger, also felt a whirlwind of the sky, and then was directly knocked into the distance. Fortunately, Chen Chen still had such a guy on his body, so Chen Chen didn't suffer any major injuries except for the pain.
Seeing Chen Chen stand up again, the tiger that was stabbed by Chen Chen rushed towards Chen Chen with all his strength like a tiger descending the mountain. Looking at the tiger that pounced on him again, Chen Chen's whole person was not ready, so he was directly thrown to the ground by the tiger.
At this time, the "battle armor" made of wood that Chen Chen relied on was also directly broken by the tiger's strength because the quality was not very good. Looking at the tiger that was close at hand, Chen Chen directly took the firewood knife and slashed directly at the tiger's neck.
The tiger that was cut by Chen Chen was also completely enraged by Chen Chen, and he opened his mouth wide and wanted to bite Chen Chen's neck. Seeing the big mouth rushing towards him, Chen Chen was also slightly panicked, looking at the sharp wood falling from the "battle armor" beside him, Chen Chen quickly picked up and stabbed it directly at the tiger's mouth.
In this brief moment, if it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be panicked, and then it would be bitten directly by the tiger. But Chen Chen was stunned that he was able to think of countermeasures to deal with at this critical juncture of the crisis with his excellent psychological quality, and the tiger did not expect that there would be a sharp wood stabbing at his mouth, with the strength of the tiger and Chen Chen's full force, the tiger couldn't react even if he wanted to.
