14 big cats
After everyone drank the medicine, Yaohu said to Worm and Ah Shui: "Hello, Uncle Shui, you keep watch for the first half of the night, and Mu Feng, Uncle Worm, and Bull keep watch for the second half of the night." ”
A few people replied, "Yes, chief." ”
Yaohu smiled and said to everyone: "Sleep, go to bed early, and leave early tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Chief." Everyone nodded in response, and let the women sleep in the middle of the animal skin mats, and the men lay down on the periphery.
Yao Xiaoqing leaned on the sleeping bag and rubbed her sore calves, saw Shan Emu holding Yaya in her arms, saw that she was asleep, took out a piece of animal skin and gently covered her, patted her vest, and hummed an unknown ballad.
Yao Xiaoqing was lying on the animal skin with his backpack, stroking the smooth fur of the golden retriever, looking at the loving appearance of Shan Eminem and Hua, thinking of his parents in his previous life, looking at the dark forest in a depressed mood, feeling like a man-eating monster with a big mouth open.
After a while, the sound of snoring sounded on the animal skin cushion.
The spring is cold, and the wind is blowing at night. There wasn't even a star in the sky, and it was extremely cold in the mountains and forests.
Listening to the snoring sound one after another, Uncle Shui touched his arm that was a little cold, saw that the fire was a little weaker, added a few firewood to the fire, and looked around vigilantly with a stone knife.
The first half of the night was spent safely, and in the second half of the night, it was the turn of Mu Feng, Uncle Worm, and Bull to keep vigil together.
Yao Xiaoqing, who was half asleep, listened to the strange chirping sound in the forest, and found the golden retriever standing up in a daze.
"There is an enemy!" She also hurriedly got up, picked up the sapper shovel, and saw the golden retriever looking warily at the woods opposite.
Mu Feng and the others also found something lying there in the forest, looked at this side with fierce eyes, clenched the stone knife, and prepared to meet the enemy.
The bull added some firewood to the fire, and the fire became even bigger, Yao Xiaoqing saw a beast lying on his stomach in the forest opposite, and looked at this side coldly.
The atmosphere became tense all at once.
Yaohu, who sensed that something was wrong, got up and walked to the fire with a cane, "Do you see what is clear?" ”
Uncle Worm whispered to him, "It's a bit like a big cat." ”
Yaohu looked at it carefully for a while, and said to a few people: "It's a big cat, it doesn't dare to come over when the fire burns, don't be careless, this thing is cruel and patient." ”
The bull nodded, "There are so many of us that it doesn't dare to move, you go to sleep and wait until dawn." ”
After walking for a long time, Yaohu's wound was a little swollen and painful, and if he wanted not to affect his journey tomorrow, he had to rest at night.
After Yao Hu got down, he saw Yao Xiaoqing standing there with a shovel, and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, there is a big cat, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Mu Feng also looked at her and said, "Xiaoqing, Brother is guarding here, you go to sleep." ”
"Okay, be careful." Yao Xiaoqing touched the golden retriever's head, went back to lie down and forced himself to sleep.
The golden retriever glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, lying there and looking at the other side vigilantly.
The big cat on the opposite side didn't dare to come here, and the two sides confronted each other like this, not daring to relax at all.
As soon as the day dawned, everyone got up, and after a night's rest, the spirits of the mountain and the boulder were much better.
They also knew that there were fierce beasts on the other side, but they were not afraid at all, and calmly buried Poria cocos in the ash heap and prepared for early food.
Yao Xiaoqing finally saw clearly what the big cat looked like: the body was stout, the limbs were slender, the ears were pointed, and there were two tufts of black tufts standing on the top, standing quietly in the forest, looking coldly at this side with slender eyes.
It looks a bit like a cat, but it is a several times enlarged version of a cat, and it is at least seventy or eighty pounds by visual inspection.
Yao Xiaoqing watched it for a long time and determined that the big cat in their mouth was the lynx in the animal world in their previous life.
Looking at the big cat staring at him, he said to the bull and Mu Feng: "If it doesn't go, we can't go, let's go and kill it." ”
Shan and Dashi also raised their stone knives, "Let's go, even if you are injured, can't you kill a big cat?" ”
Yu shook his head at the two of them, "You don't have to make a move, just the three of us." ”
"Yes, the three of us can kill it." Mu Feng and the bull are about to strike with stone knives.
"Wait." Yaohu stopped a few people, took out a dinner knife, sharpened the cane in his hand into a wooden spear, and handed it to Yi.
Yama and Oishi also sharpened their crutches and handed them to the bull and Mu Feng, "To the warriors." ”
Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly shoveled the sapper to Mu Feng, "Brother, you have a wound on your arm, use this sharpness." ”
"Okay." Mu Feng took the sapper shovel and walked towards the big cat.
The big cat saw the three menacing people, stretched out his front paws and arched his back, and made an attack posture,
Mu Feng and the three of them walked to a position ten meters away from the big cat, and threw the stone knife in their hands at the big cat.
The stone knife flew towards the big cat, "Meow...!" The big cat let out a hideous roar and leaped to its feet, rushing at the same speed as lightning.
He hurriedly fell backwards, dodging the big cat's bite, and at the same time raised his wooden spear and poked at the big cat.
The big cat's front paws scratched at the belly, and the big cat raised a wooden spear and stabbed it hard at the big cat's abdomen.
Mu Feng swung the sapper shovel and slashed at the big cat, and the wooden grass in the bull's hand poked at the big cat.
"Flutter!" With a muffled sound, the wooden spear of the big cat poked into the belly of the big cat, the wooden wind of the military shovel slashed at its waist, and the wooden spear of the bull "fluttered" into its stomach.
"Meow~" The big cat let out a last mournful wail and writhed wildly.
The bull poked the big cat with wooden grass and lifted it up, and threw it on the ground with a "boom", and the big cat lost his breath.
Yao Xiaoqing's blood boiled when he saw it, and he clapped his hands and applauded loudly.
The bull dragged the big cat back in high spirits, and Mu Feng happily followed behind with Mu Mao and the ordnance shovel.
Even Yaya happily said to the flower: "Mother, there is meat to eat." ”
"Hmm!" The flower led the girl and surrounded everyone together.
Watching Mu Feng, they quickly skinned and dismembered the big cat, cutting it into pieces.
The big cat's skin didn't have time to deal with it, and he was afraid that the smell of blood would attract the beast, so Yaohu asked everyone to throw it into the forest.
Mu Feng returned Yaohu, Shan, and Dashi's crutches to a few people, and returned the shovel to Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, your axe is very sharp, and it has cut off the back of the big cat." ”
Yao Xiaoqing nodded proudly, "Yes, it's very sharp." ”
Yaohu smiled and said to Mu Feng: "It looks like it's going to rain, everyone hurry up and roast the meat and start on the road." ”
"Yes, Chief." Mu Feng chopped some sticks and put the meat on them, and Shan Emu and Yun Emu added some firewood to the fire, and the fire was prosperous.
One of them held a piece of meat and roasted it on top of the fire.
Yao Xiaoqing took a piece of pork ribs and turned the wooden stick, thinking about it, he took out the bag of salt from the bag from giving the wooden stick to Mu Feng, poured some in his hand, and carefully sprinkled it on the meat that everyone roasted, and after a while, the big cat meat was roasted with a bright caramel color, exuding a burst of meat aroma.
Yao Xiaoqing heard the sound of everyone swallowing saliva.
