Chapter 37: The Tiger Enters the Village

Back home, Lin Xiaoxi began to light a fire to boil water, and Zhang Xiaochi helped fetch water.

At night, the village is exceptionally quiet, the two of them boil the water, take turns bathing, and then sit in the courtyard and watch the starry sky.

Lin Xiaoxi snuggled in Zhang Xiaochi's arms, neither of them spoke, and knew that after tonight, they might not be able to enjoy the night scene so quietly for a while.

In this way, the two snuggled up to I don't know how long, and suddenly a movement from the side woke up the two.

"Fenghe, haven't you slept yet?"

Zhang Xiaochi was dissatisfied, and looked back to see who disturbed the good atmosphere, but found that it was Zhang Feng and this kid.

"Big brother, I can't sleep."

Zhang Fenghe yawned, this kid is not afraid of Zhang Xiaochi now, I saw him make a stool and put it next to him, and sat down side by side with Zhang Xiaochi, with his elbows against his knees, palms supporting his chin, and looking up at the starry sky like them.

"Big brother, do the immortals live in the stars in the sky?"

Zhang Fenghe asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed to the brightest star in the sky, and said.

"The brightest star is called the North Star, and next to the North Star, the spoon-like star, we call him the Big Dipper."

"Big brother, are there immortals on these stars?"

Zhang Fenghe asked happily.

"I don't know."

Before Zhang Xiaochi crossed over, he was a staunch materialist, and if Zhang Fenghe asked him before the crossing, he would definitely say no, but now that he has crossed over, he has also wavered a little in these views.

"Husband, what is that?"

Just when Zhang Xiaochi was full of emotion in his heart, Lin Xiaoxi's voice suddenly sounded, disturbing his newly formed thoughts.

subconsciously looked at the beautiful woman next to her, and found that Lin Xiaoxi was staring at the left front, so she looked in the direction she was looking, and in the field a hundred meters away, a pair of green eyes were looking at this side.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaochi's hair on his body instantly stood upright, and he subconsciously pulled Lin Xiaoxi behind him to protect him.

"Xiaoxi, Fenghe hurry into the house, that's a tiger!"

Zhang Xiaochi was well-informed, and at a glance, he recognized that it was the tiger who was looking at them from afar.

As soon as he heard that it was a tiger, Zhang Fenghe's legs were weak, if it weren't for Lin Xiaoxi supporting him, this kid would probably have been paralyzed on the ground.

"Fenghe, you haven't slept so late, what are you doing outside?"

At this time, the second aunt came to the courtyard a little angry, and she soon found that something was wrong with everyone, so she looked in the direction where Zhang Xiaochi and the three of them were looking.

"What's that?"

"Tiger!"

Zhang Xiaochi's face was solemn, the tiger in the field was approaching them, he quickly stretched out one hand to pull the second aunt who had not yet reacted, and the other hand held Lin Xiaoxi's little hand and quickly rushed into the house.

"Old ...... Tiger! ”

Back in the house, the second aunt finally reacted, found a stool to sit down tremblingly, and spoke incoherently.

"Second aunt, don't talk, the tiger is coming!"

Zhang Xiaochi closed the gate, took out the bow and crossbow, put on the arrow feathers of the iron arrow, and looked out through the gap, as long as the tiger dared to enter the yard, he would launch mercilessly.

Lin Xiaoxi was scared in her heart, but she was much better than the second aunt and Zhang Feng, she came to the window, and with the help of the moonlight, she saw that a majestic tiger had come to the outside of the yard.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became solemn, Zhang Xiaochi pulled Lin Xiaoxi behind him, he was sure that the tiger had found them.

Suddenly, the tiger man outside the courtyard wall stood up, with two powerful front paws on the wooden courtyard wall, looking at its appearance, it seemed to want to climb in.

Zhang Xiaochi held his breath, although he has great strength now and is proficient in various killing techniques, he is still a little frightened in the face of this fierce beast.

Now, he can only hope that the crossbow will not drop the chain at a critical time.

"Laugh...... Laughing, ...... ...... outside"

"Second aunt, don't talk, the tiger is ready to come in!"

Zhang Xiaochi's eyebrows stood up, at this time, the tiger had already climbed the courtyard wall, and it only needed to jump lightly to enter the courtyard.

Thundered!

Suddenly, a thunderbolt sounded outside, and the tiger, which was just about to enter the yard, was frightened, turned around and jumped off the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

"Whew!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochi breathed a long sigh of relief, he was sure that if there was no sudden thunder, the tiger would definitely attack.

"The tiger is gone!"

Zhang Xiaochi said slowly, as soon as his words fell, there was the sound of rain hitting the ground outside.

"Are you really gone?"

The second aunt asked with palpitations.

"Gone, a thunderclap scared the tiger away."

Zhang Xiaochi explained.

"It's really strange, there were stars outside just now, and it stands to reason that as long as there are stars at night, it won't rain!"

Zhang Xiaochi whispered to himself, and at the same time a little lucky, if there was no thunder, once the tiger attacked, the wall of the repaired house might be able to block the attack, but the roof could not bear it at all, as long as the tiger climbed on the roof, its own weight could crush the roof.

After waiting for about a minute or two, Zhang Xiaochi reached out to open the door, but was stopped by the second aunt.

"Xiaochi, don't open the door tonight, in case the tiger doesn't leave, it may be waiting for us to go out!"

"Second aunt, don't worry, the tiger is gone."

Zhang Xiaochi couldn't explain with a smile, but no matter how he explained, the second aunt still didn't agree to open the door and insisted on waiting until dawn to go out.

Zhang Xiaochi was helpless, looking at the second aunt who had palpitations, he had to choose to compromise.

"That's it, second aunt, you and Xiaoxi sleep on the bed, and Feng He and I can deal with it casually."

At night, Zhang Xiaochi took Zhang Fenghe to lay on the floor and lay on the straw mat, this kid tossed and turned and always fell asleep, not only that, but the second aunt on the bed was the same, and from time to time asked him if the tiger would come back, what if he came back, and so on.

In this way, more than three hours were spent in fear, and finally the second aunt and son couldn't bear it and fell asleep, so Zhang Xiaochi had the opportunity to sleep.

It's just that although he doesn't have to bear the trouble of being asked, Zhang Fenghe, who fell asleep, was probably scared, and after falling asleep, he actually hugged him by one arm, so that he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would wake up and suffer again.

Fortunately, he was very adaptable, endured the discomfort, abandoned the messy thoughts in his mind, and fell asleep soon after.

The next day, Zhang Xiaochi got up early, looked at Zhang Fenghe, who didn't know when he slept in the corner, shook his head slightly, then got up and looked out at the window, and when he found that some villagers were busy in the field outside, he opened the door and woke up Lin Xiaoxi and others.
