Mingyi walked towards the female cat with a knife, while Cheng Mingli went to the other side.

The male tiger was exhausted, and he had no strength to resist when he saw Cheng Mingli coming with a knife; I could only watch Cheng Mingli cut its neck with a knife, and the blood flowed profusely.

Mingyi didn't give the tigress a chance to resist, and as a result, it turned out; Staring at the blood spreading on the ground, it's a pity, if you have the conditions to make wine with tiger blood, it would be tempting.

"Brother, let's drag the big cat to the edge of the pool together."

"Okay."

The brother and sister cooperated, and it took three trips back and forth to drag the three big cats to the edge of the pool, and the tiger skin was more or less damaged.

"Sister, you guard me to go back and call my father and uncle and second uncle over, we won't peel the skin; There are too many big cats with three heads, and no one can help to deal with them for a while. ”

"Don't call Uncle and Second Uncle first, just call Dad; We help out together and we can always get it out all night. "It's not that she doesn't want to share it with other people, but she wants tiger bones.

The tiger bones were shaved down, and she could find a reason to take them farther away into the space; If there were too many people, she couldn't find a reason not to say it, and the two uncles would definitely not let her go to the forest alone.

Cheng Mingli nodded and said solemnly: "I understand, you should pay attention to the possibility of wild beasts around; I won't get the iron pot back first, and the tiger meat will be boiled later, and it will be dried tomorrow. ”

"I think so too, brother, go quickly."

Mingyi walked to the iron pot, scooped up the rabbit meat and put it on the stone platform, so that it could be dried in the shade at night.

It's just that if she puts it here, she is destined to be seen by her father, and she and her brother can't hide the stuff of secretly preparing meat.

Mingyi couldn't think of a way to think about it, so she could only let things develop.

However, one of the three tiger skins was given to her grandfather and grandmother, and the other two were for her brother and the other for her father.

Whether she is selfish or ignorant, she killed her; She can give it to whomever she wants, and others are not qualified to put their beaks.

Cheng Mingli ran fast under the moonlight, his eyes not forgetting to watch the road under his feet, observing whether there was any danger; Because he was paying extra attention to proportion, he saw snakes in several grasses along the way.

Some of the snakes were coiled, some were lying on their stomachs, and some were curled up in dead branches.

Worried back to the waterhole, Cheng Mingli took advantage of the night to touch the place where his parents lived; Drilling into the wooden shed, there was only a faint light shining in the moonlight, and Cheng Mingli could only judge whose mother was and whose father was according to his figure.

He walked over to the taller man and nudged the sleeping man.

Cheng Yuanxi woke up suddenly, and he opened his mouth to shout, but fortunately, Cheng Mingli quickly covered Cheng Yuanxi's mouth and whispered in his ear.

"Dad, it's me."

Cheng Yuanxi gave up struggling, and Cheng Mingli let go of his hand.

Cheng Yuanxi was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Mingli, it's you!" I'm scared to death of your father, but what about your sister? You came alone? What do you do when you run without sleeping? ”

"Dad, you come out with me." Cheng Mingli got up and walked out of the wooden shed quietly.

Cheng Yuanxi turned his head to look at his sleeping wife, lifted the quilt, and twisted the corners of the quilt for her before leaving.

"What's the matter with your dad and me?" Cheng Yuanxi asked angrily.

Cheng Mingli smiled in the moonlight, his emaciated face was different from the anger of the other rooms, "Dad, let's go out and talk." ”

Cheng Yuanxi didn't know what to do, but he followed out of the camping place on the side of the waterhole.

"Say it." Cheng Yuanxi looked at his son for a long time.

Cheng Mingli said in a low voice: "My sister hit the big cat, we won't deal with it." ”

"What do you say?"

"Daddy, Daddy, be quiet."

Cheng Yuanxi hurriedly covered his mouth and looked behind him, seeing that no one was coming, he hurriedly pulled his son and walked out, "Hurry up and take me over, you brothers and sisters are too bold to dare to run out in the middle of the night; If you don't run away when you meet a big cat, you dare to fight a big cat, who gave you dog guts? ”

As a father, he was angry and anxious to be rectified by his children.

"My sister is fine."

"You're okay, right?" Cheng Yuanxi reprimanded sharply, his steps did not stop, and even accelerated.

Cheng Mingli had to trot to keep up, "It's wrong for me and my sister to go out in the middle of the night, but we also want to find something to eat; Recently, my sister has always been hungry and uncomfortable at night, so what can I do if I don't find something to eat? Hungry? I am hungry and have no strength, what should I do next time I need to run for my life? ”

Cheng Yuanxi was silent, and hurried away in the dark night with a gloomy face.

"Not only my sister, but I also can't eat enough, we are all when we grow our bodies; There is so much food at home, there is no end in sight to the road to escape, there is no hope, which meal is full? ”

"I can't sleep when I'm hungry at night, and my sister always eats only a few pieces of game, and if there is no oil and water in the stomach, I will only be hungry faster."

Cheng Yuanxi couldn't be silent anymore, not only the children were hungry, but the adults were also hungry!

"Who isn't hungry? But what can be done, can only endure; But you and your sister, why are you so bold, this is a deep mountain and old forest. ”

After Cheng Mingli said, he didn't feel empty-hearted, "So what, it's uncomfortable to be hungry every day, it's better to fight hard, you can always find something to eat; Don't be hungry and your eyes glow green when you see anything. ”

Cheng Yuanxi sighed, but he was reluctant to continue to blame.

"When you are hungry, tell your father, and father go and tell your grandmother; There is not much food, but there are many wild vegetables, so cook more wild vegetables. ”

Cheng Mingli accepted it when he saw it, as long as he didn't blame their brothers and sisters.

When I walked to the edge of the meadow, I saw a bonfire burning on the meadow in the distance; And there is a big cauldron next to the bonfire, and then look at the girl next to him!

"Yiyi."

"Daddy." Mingyi looked back, got up and ran over, "Dad, you can count it, my brother and I beat three big cats." ”

"You guys, why are you disobedient, can the big cat be beaten casually?" Cheng Yuanxi's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed deeply, "Your courage is getting bigger and bigger, you should let your mother give you a tight skin." ”

Mingyi looked at him dryly, as if to say are you willing to do it?

Cheng Mingli arrived behind Cheng Yuanxi, and when he saw his sister like this, he shook his head and smiled, "Dad is just talking, not with my mother." ”

"Hey, really? Brother. ”

"Really, Daddy knew we were hungry and couldn't stand it, so he came out to look for it; The more we eat the food and wild vegetables at home, the hungrier we get, and it is the time for us to grow up, where can we stand it. Cheng Mingli said this to give her a wake-up call, let alone leak her mouth.

Mingyi nodded again and again, "I know that Dad is the best, Dad, you can deal with the big cat; We chop down the meat and cook it in a pot, and then eat a good meal of meat, and the rest of the big cat meat is left here to dry, and dried into dried meat to eat on the road. ”

"Well, stay away from you two, don't let the blood spill on you." Cheng Yuanxi shook his head silently, took the knife handed by his daughter, and first skinned the little tiger and gutted it.

The rest of the matter was taken over by Mingyi and Mingli, and the brother and sister took turns chopping meat.
