With only a few brief conversations, the team fell silent again.

For his cheap sister, Qiao Yang is still a little used to not coming, even if they are not related by blood, they don't even have memories of living together, what is the difference between them and strangers when they come out of thin air? It's better than the folks in the townships, right?

Shi Lan didn't feel unfamiliar, because Grandpa and Grandma would always mention him, and in the past twenty years of secret observation, he has long been familiar with it.

What family affection is, Shi Lan doesn't understand, no one has ever told her, everything is her own feelings.

Grandpa and grandma also have a mother-in-law, they are very good to Shi Lan, Shi Lan regards this as family affection and sees them as family, and Qiao Yang's family is Grandpa and Grandma's family, so they are also Shi Lan's family, and it is not as complicated as Qiao Yang thought.

The team followed the bloodstains left by the tiger, and after several twists and turns, they did not expect to circle back to the cave.

Everyone quietly came to the cave, and they could faintly hear the low roar coming from the cave.

"Boss Joe, what now?" The quick-talking man whispered.

"You can't fight hard, I looked at this cave just now, there is no other exit, we set some traps at the entrance of this cave, smoke it out, and everything is over."

"Good way."

"Brothers, you are all old hunters, I'm just an axe, okay, let's get moving, or the seven brothers who followed me to keep an eye on the situation in the cave, the others set traps around the entrance of the cave, and then divided two people to find some dead branches and wet wood."

After speaking, Qiao Yang grabbed a large handful of iron thorns from the cloth bag and lightly sprinkled them at the entrance of the cave, covering the hole in a few clicks.

"Boss Joe, what is this?"

"Oh, this is called thistle, it is used in the army to deal with cavalry charges, and in the past few days, I have asked Lao Li, a blacksmith in the village, to make some, thinking that it should be able to be used."

"Amazing, Boss Qiao is really prescient, and he deserves to be the little general of our Dalin Mountain." The crowd praised again.

Soon, the trap was laid, Qiao Yang made a fire, billowing smoke, and let people take off their clothes and fan the wind, and suddenly, the smoke spread into the cave.

The angry roar of the tiger continued to be heard from the cave, and if everyone didn't know what was inside, they would have thought that it was the evil ghost of Huangquan roaring in the world.

After a while, the tiger could not bear the smoke anymore and ran towards the outside of the cave, but as soon as he reached the mouth of the cave, a piercing pain came from the soles of his feet, and he stopped in front of the mouth of the cave and let out a louder roar than before.

"Now, shoot an arrow at the hole."

The frightened people came back to their senses, either with bows and arrows, or with wooden spears, and attacked the huge figure in the smoke.

In just an instant, the tiger was covered in bruises, but it did not fall as everyone expected, but endured the pain, rushed out of the smoke, and slaughtered everyone, and the traps around the cave entrance did not stop it.

Trapped beasts are still fighting!

The tiger's counterattack was no less than a sharp arrow, and the blood-red eyes and the speed of the instant explosion caught even the experienced old hunter off guard.

In the next moment, it is the tiger into the flock!

As he bit the young hunter with a big bite, Shi Lan, who was galloping, knocked him away.

Shi Lan has been watching the whole process, from being surprised by the predation methods of humans to the counterattack of tigers, Shi Lan has been watching, she has no fear of wild beasts, so she is also the first to react among everyone.

The tiger didn't stop urgently, it bit Shi Lan's waist and hit the tree straight.

"Kill!"

Qiao Yang's eyes were blood-red in an instant, and he rushed towards the tiger with the sickle in his hand, but before he could get close, he was slapped seven or eight meters away by the tiger's twisted tiger palm.

Suddenly, everyone came back to their senses and fell into a panic, some people ran into the woods, some people kept shooting arrows at the tiger, one arrow after another did not enter the tiger's body, but the tiger still rampaged as if it was nothing, some people could not dodge, the lucky ones were shot away, and the unfortunate ones were bitten and most of the flesh was torn off.

"Run." The crowd finally collapsed.

"Don't run! Fight back, fight back! This big worm is at the end of its crossbow! It didn't last long! Qiao Yang struggled to get up and yelled with blood foaming at his mouth.

But now, how can anyone listen to him, life matters, and those who run fast can live.

"Damn!" Qiao Yang looked around, he was the only one left standing alone on the scarlet battlefield, and there were screams all around.

Old man, how did you kill that big worm by yourself back then, why can't I do it! Am I really useless...... Watching you grow old a little bit over the years, I felt that I was better than you, and I wanted to follow the path you had walked to prove it, so no matter how you stopped it, I still wanted to join the army!

Actually, I've never been better than you, right? What bullshit is better than blue, I, Qiao Yang, can't win! Old man, you have always been the best in my heart. I'm not trying to be better than you, I'm not trying to surpass you, I'm just thinking that I can do what you've done, I just want to make you proud of me......

I'm sorry, I was wrong, old man, did you hear that? When you hear it, wait for me in the underworld, I miss you and my mother so much......

The tiger walked slowly towards the last human to stand.

In front of the blood basin, Qiao Yang held the jade pendant given by Lu Ying, closed his eyes, and darkness descended.

I'm sorry, Ying'er, Huanqing'er, Zhao'er, Ye'er, if there is an afterlife, I will live up to you.

Suddenly, the pendant emitted light, and the light spread to protect Qiao Yang, and the tiger statue hit the wall, unable to enter.

Death did not come after a while, Qiao Yang was puzzled, and before he could come back to his senses, he heard the angry roar of his cheap sister.

"Ahhh......h

The tiger did not advance an inch, but slowly retreated, and it let out a low roar of reluctance.

Behind the tiger, Shi Lan pulled its tail and dragged it backwards step by step.

Qiao Yang opened his eyes and looked at this scene, he was completely stunned, and for a moment he forgot where he was, and forgot to use the sickle to deal a fatal blow to the tiger.

Seeing that the tiger couldn't bite the person in front of him, he turned around and bit Shi Lan, but Shi Lan was one step ahead of it, and threw it up with a shoulder throw, smashing it on the tree trunk in the distance, blood spilled in the air, splashing Qiao Yang and Shi Lan.

Before Qiao Yang could marvel at the power of this cheap sister, he saw that where she had been bitten by a tiger before, her clothes were stuck in the flesh and skin, almost piercing, if she were an ordinary person, she would have died completely after such a fatal injury, but she could still walk upright, and even threw a tiger of several hundred catties out with great force.

Is this the evil spirit of hell? Who can accept such a frightening picture!

"Ah, sister, are you okay?" Qiao Yang said tremblingly.

Shi Lan turned around and smiled, just a blood-stained smile, a little oozing.

"It's okay."

Qiao Yang forced his composure, turned his head to look at the tiger not far away, it seemed to be the last big bale of grass that crushed the camel, and the tiger who was thrown in the distance struggled a few times, but finally failed to stand up.

Qiao Yang was still not at ease, so he picked up a wooden spear casually, walked over and stabbed the tiger a few times, and when he saw that there was no movement, he finally relaxed and sat down tiredly.

Finally, it's over.

"Ahaha, it was done, old man, we did it!" Qiao Yang covered his face, crying and laughing, and the shouts attracted the people around him who were either lying and wailing or had just run away.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that next to the tiger's corpse, the man they called Boss Qiao fell into madness.

"Is it dead? Is it really dead? Long live Boss Joe! Banzai! ”

Everyone who saw this scene thought that Qiao Yang had finally killed the tiger, and they all shouted wantonly.

After a while, there was a sudden noise.

"Ahh Run, he's a ghost! ”

Shi Lan followed the prestige, met the young Orion's gaze, and then looked down at the seeping depression in his waist.

How similar this scene is, it was the little boy back then, and now it is the person she saved......

Am I going to be hated again? Shi Lan uneasily reached out to cover the wound on his waist.

"What the hell, you're scared silly! Okay, okay, don't be in a daze, quickly treat the injured brother, it's getting late, we have to rush back before dark. ”

The first to react was Qiao Yang, when everyone was still confused, he ignored the pain on his body, walked over and put his coat on Shi Lan, covered the wound, and picked up the fallen hat for Shi Lan to put on.

"Oh, yes, everyone is alive and well, what the hell, scare Lao Tzu, hurry up, see if anyone is dying, but you can't delay." Someone chimed in.

Suddenly, everyone was busy again, and the young hunter didn't shout anymore because of Qiao Yang's majesty, but just looked at Shi Lan from time to time, his eyes full of fear.

"Silly girl, my brother has heard about what happened back then, don't worry, my brother won't let that happen again."

"Hmm."

"Help me sit down, those few strokes just now seem to involve a wound, I feel that the bone should be broken, damn it, it hurts."

The sun was approaching, and in the twilight, the team staggered back with a bloody breath.

The people who fled back first told the villagers about the situation in the mountains, so the villagers were very anxious, but because of the fear of tigers, no one dared to enter the mountain, so they all gathered at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the team coming back with the tiger, everyone swept away the haze and cried with joy.

The mother and daughter of the Qiao family also cried into tears, jumped into Qiao Yang's arms over the crowd, and after touching the wound, they couldn't help but scream again.

Qiao Qing'er just clicked on the water, and after finding Shi Lan in the team, she turned to her arms again.

"Little lady, are you okay? I heard that the person who ran back said that you were chased by a big worm, and I was scared to death, I wanted to go to you, but my mother didn't let me, but fortunately you are fine. ”

"Well, it's okay, I'm back."

Qiao Qing'er reacted after a while, and couldn't help but smile sweetly.

"Little lady, so you still remember."

Shi Lan touched her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.

Qiao Qing'er shook her head slightly, "This time it doesn't count, it's only been a day since we were separated, and next time it will take at least a month, no, more than a year, I don't care, you promised me that I would definitely come back." ”

"Okay."

At this moment, the sunset is infinitely better.

It's just that there are also returnees who enter from the entrance of the village, and in the joy of everyone, he suddenly looked back and found the figure that he was thinking about, but the scene in front of him made him suddenly disheartened.

"Qing'er, bless you."

The returnee dragged his tired body and quietly retreated into the twilight.
