A chill started from the center of Wu Nian's head and instantly swept through his entire body, and he shivered uncontrollably.

This is the instinctive fear of humans encountering such big cats.

Wu Nian took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, and calmed down.

He looked up and glanced at it roughly. The fence outside the cave is still very intact, which plays a role in blocking the Siberian tigers.

The campfire burned vigorously, which also served as a deterrent.

After making sure that he was relatively safe, Wu Nian began to look at the Siberian tiger. Visibility was high tonight, and the big cat was in the light of his eyes, and there were no secrets.

It is supposed to be an adult male Siberian tiger, at a cursory glance, at least four or five hundred pounds. Its muscles are extremely exaggerated.

Its eyes were full of temptation.

The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. Although his size was petite compared to it, his first step was to be tentative.

After seeing the size of the big cat clearly, Wu Nian completely gave up the idea of killing it.

There are many ways to kill it, you can use spears, and they are spear formations of at least ten people. Fighting with a big cat with a knife is completely sending you to death.

The second is a strong bow, at least a strong bow of two stones, in order to inflict substantial damage on it.

And then there's the crossbow bolts.

is like Wu Song fighting a tiger, which is completely a novel. Even the strongest human on the surface, even if they drank gasoline, it was impossible to kill a Siberian tiger of this level with their bare hands.

At such times, the big cat cannot be provoked. Intimidation is the right way to go.

Wu Nian quickly took a wooden stick, tied a piece of cloth, smeared it with animal fat, and made a simple torch.

"Ahh

"Hey!"

Wu Nian waved the torch in his hand and kept yelling at the big cat, spreading his hands to the maximum, showing that he was strong and full of threats.

The temptation in its eyes turned to caution. His ears moved, he flicked his tail, took a few steps back slowly but firmly, and finally turned around and disappeared into the night.

"It seems that this tiger is not short of food. If it's hungry, it might pounce. The fence around it, though strong, could not stop it. I'll have to make more barbs, or I'll not want to sleep tonight. ”

Wu Nian put down the torch, and his heart beat extremely fast, so fast that it flew up. Not a single butt sitting on the ground is already bold.

Even if he is good at surviving in the wild, it is the first time he has actually met this kind of big cat.

Siberian tigers.

Even the black bear is on its recipe.

Wu Nian quickly picked up the knife and sharpened many sharp wooden sticks to strengthen the fence. But this kind of fence is still not insured.

Wu Nian didn't dare to fall asleep completely, and waited for dawn in the cave and bonfire half-asleep.

At this time, the benefits of taking hunting dogs into the mountains, or entering the mountains in a group, are revealed. It's too hard to keep a vigil alone.

Wu Nian held his knife tightly and finally held on until dawn. At this time, his head was a little groggy.

He first took the water he had stored yesterday and set up a small iron pot. After boiling a pot of unpalatable but nutritious meat porridge with offal and dry food, I recovered my spirits.

The original owner's body was too weak, and after eating these two meals, it was visibly stronger to the naked eye.

Wu Nian came to the bamboo basket and took a look, and there was still a flower-tailed golden pheasant, a rabbit, and a pheasant left in it.

"Taking these things back can't change my life, it's only enough for me to eat three meals alone. I have to hunt at least a 100-pound sika deer to change my family's circumstances, and I can also send some meat to the Chen family. ”

"But there's really a Siberian tiger around here."

Wu Nian remembered the terrifying big cat last night and smiled bitterly. Although Chen had reminded him that there were tigers, leopards and jackals on this mountain.

But because of human activities, there have been no tigers for a long time in these four weeks.

Chen's reminder that he actually didn't take it too seriously.

He is now directly under the threat of the tiger. Last night there were caves, bonfires, and fences, which were considered to have intimidated the big cats. If you meet directly on the mountain, there is only one way, climb the tree.

It's really dangerous.

But if you don't bring back a hundred pounds of prey, the head of the family .....

Wu Nian took a deep breath, his eyes firm and full of sharpness.

"This is the so-called knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and leaning towards the tiger mountains. If you meet on a narrow path, you can only improvise. ”

Wu Nian tightened the knife in his hand, put on his bamboo basket, strode out of the cave, and continued to hunt.

This time Wu Nian was very lucky, and the tiger didn't know if it ran away or what. He didn't see it. This is also relatively normal, the territory of the tiger is generally very large, not limited to one mountain.

Wu Nian also quickly encountered the prey he really wanted, a herd of seven sika deer. He hid behind a large tree and fired his bow and arrows.

After a few meals, his strength increased a little. Bow opening has become smoother.

With a "whoosh", the black arrow hit the neck of a large sika deer like lightning, and went deep into the flesh.

"Bump." The sika deer fell heavily to the ground, and the rest of the sika deer were frightened and fled in all directions.

Wu Nian was overjoyed and stepped forward to check. He thought for a while, first took out a knife, bled the sika deer, and quickly returned to the cave, and then further cleaned up the sika deer.

After removing the internal organs, after peeling. Wu Nian weighed it, and there were about one hundred and twenty catties of meat.

A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face, this is the amount of meat needed to change life.

Wu Nian went out of the cave to take a look at the weather, and it was already noon. Carrying such heavy prey, it was impossible for him to return to the Hundred Households before dark, and to hurry in the night was to seek death.

I can only set off tomorrow morning.

I hope that big cat doesn't come to play with me at night.

In the next three meals, Wu Nian ate the other prey, as well as the internal organs that the deer could eat. The space in the bamboo basket was vacated, and early the next morning, he carried the cleaned venison, covered the bamboo basket with deerskin, and strode back to the hundred households.

Carrying the heavy bamboo basket on his back, Wu Nian's heart was full of joy. Although it comes with great danger, the harvest is also abundant.

This 120 catties of venison is the hope for him and Liu Xiang to survive in this world.

There is also the childhood sweetheart Chen, and her daughter Li Ya.

Heavy.

After a long day of trekking, in the evening. Wu Nian returned to the outside of Beishan Fort. When he saw the city wall, Wu Nian exhaled, but then his eyes froze, his face showed a look of consternation, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

On weekdays, the guards of Beishan Fort are almost zero. He remembered very well that when he left, there were only two old fellows guarding the door.

Now in the city and under the city, there are a large number of soldiers with bows and swords, and the swords are tense.

What's going on?

Is it the Mengyuan people who went south to plunder?

Or are the bandits coming?

Most of the joy in Wu Nian's heart was dissipated, and at this moment he just wanted to go back and see if Liu Xiang was safe.
