Chapter 179: One Man and One Tiger
In the evening, Wu Hou and the white tiger have been wandering on the mountain for a whole day, one person and one tiger, walking together in the mountains and forests, the two of them walked around to see, Wu Hou found a lot of familiar places, there is not much change, but there are more bird nests in the woods, and there are more unknown caves on the mountain, thinking that it should be some small animals living here.
The top of the mountain in winter is very depressed, from the top of the mountain at a glance, you can see that the mountains are also bare, the green leaves will not sprout until the spring of the next year, the current season, can be seen, only desolate, but desolate to desolate, every mountain here, will not be because of the bare summit and appear sluggish, but more show the immortal solidity and thickness of the mountain.
How many years these mountains are, no one knows, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, maybe they existed before the birth of intelligent life in this world. The mountain is a pair of eyes, indifferently looking at the ups and downs of the world, the glory and disgrace of the world, the change of seasons, the intersection of yin and yang, the flowers and plants in this world, can not hide from its eyes, it knows a lot of secrets in this world, but it never says.
Although the weather is cold, but the stream here is still mild, the fish swim in the crystal clear water, will not be affected by the weather at all, in the middle of the afternoon, Wu Hou took the white tiger to the mountain stream, he took off his shoes, jumped into the knee-deep stream, spent an hour, caught four or five grass carp.
Then Wu Hou took the white tiger back to the top of the mountain, and worked together to move out all the moldy and rotten fruits in the thatched house, and threw them under the cliff, these fruits were no longer edible, and after too long, bacteria had been produced, although the white tiger was strong, but Wu Hou thought that it could not avoid the possibility of fever, cold, bad stomach and even poisoning, so he decided to throw away all these things.
After some busy work, the sun set, a man and a tiger sat on the top of the mountain, lit a bonfire, Wu Hou put the grass carp caught on the fire and roasted it.
Soon, the fragrant smell spread, and the white tiger squatted on Wu Hou's side, staring at a pair of big eyes, looking at a few fish on the fire rack, and whether the big tongue stretched out to lick his lips.
The white tiger hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and since that time he injured the hunter and was shot himself, Duanmu Shenjiu no longer let it kill, even if it was a small animal in the mountains and forests, it couldn't hurt it.
In fact, because of this incident, it is not enough for Duanmu Shenjiu to set such impersonal rules for the white tiger, after all, such a huge white tiger, but a carnivore, how can it be done without eating meat, but Duanmu Shenjiu still feels that after he left Pinghuang Mountain, no one controls the white tiger, afraid that one day someone will accidentally break into Pinghuang Mountain, annoy the white tiger, and then be injured by the white tiger, so Duanmu Shenjiu simply set a rule for the white tiger not to kill, and directly set a rule to kill all aspects.
Although the white tiger is psychic, it is still a beast after all, since it is a beast, there will be a time when the beast is furious, Duanmu Shenjiu has raised the white tiger for many years, and he understands this very well in his heart. Pinghuang Mountain is the home of Duanmen Shenjiu, every grass and tree on his body, birds and beasts, are all his own family, he doesn't want the white tiger to be respected alone in the mountain.
After the fish on the fire rack was roasted, Wu Hou took the fish down, smiled and said to the impatient white tiger on the side, "Is one enough?"
The white tiger sniffed and poked his head forward, nodded his big head, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
Wu Hou put the fish on the tongue of the white tiger, and as soon as the white tiger's tongue rolled, a fish was put into his mouth, his mouth moved a few times, he raised his head slightly, and swallowed it, and ate it quickly, as simple as a person taking a breath. In fact, it is no wonder that the white tiger has a huge physique, and his height is even more than the top two martial arts, so if he catches a grass carp in the creek, it is the length of his forearm, if you want the white tiger to chew slowly, it is impossible.
However, although the white tiger is big, but the appetite is not big, even not as good as Wu Hou, on weekdays, it eats a few fruits every day to satisfy its hunger, it can spend a day, even a few days, and will not feel hungry, today's grilled fish, the same can also make the white tiger will not have a demand for food for a few days.
Wu Hou is also very strange, why is the white tiger so big, but the amount of food is so small, he can't figure it out, and he hasn't asked the master, he always feels that the white tiger is a little strange, the IQ is like a seven or eight-year-old child, but it has existed for so many years, and it can sleep with Duanmu Shenjiu for thousands of years, there must be a secret that Wu Hou doesn't know.
Wu Hou touched the white tiger, the white tiger meekly rubbed Wu Hou's shoulder with his forehead, Wu Hou picked up another grilled fish, and asked with a smile, "Another one?"
The white tiger retracted his head and shook it, his face was full of cute expressions, Wu Hou retracted his hand, looked at the two grilled fish held in each hand, and thought to himself that he would eat two for himself, and then leave two for his grandfather.
He hadn't eaten anything for a day, Wu Hou was very hungry, and then he put down the grilled fish, grabbed one by himself, and devoured it, Bai Hu always looked at Wu Hou seriously on the side, tilted his head from time to time, and saw how Wu Hou ate, because it ate fish by itself, and it has always been swallowed directly into the stomach, not like Wu Hou chewed it now before swallowing it.
Wu Hou glanced at the white tiger while eating the fish, and said vaguely, "In the future, when you are hungry, you will catch some game to eat, it's okay." ”
The white tiger shook his head seriously.
Wu Hou glanced at him and said, "Are you afraid that the master will scold you? ”
The white tiger still shook his head.
Wu Hou stopped his movements, looked at the white tiger in surprise, and asked, "You can't be an elm head, are you?"
The white tiger pretended to be angry and raised a paw and slapped at Wu Hou, trying to push Wu Hou to the ground, which he often played with Wu Hou in the mountains a few years ago. Wu Hou, who was eating grilled fish, raised his hand casually, and opened the big paws that the white tiger had slapped over, and then continued to eat the grilled fish without the slightest unnaturalness.
The white tiger claws on the side were slapped back, and the whole tiger head was stunned, and the claws also stopped in mid-air, so they maintained this posture and looked at Wu Hou in surprise.
A few years ago, the white tiger could easily push Wu Hou to the ground every time, although Wu Hou's speed was faster than his own, but Wu Hou's strength was far inferior to his own, although he didn't use much strength, but according to the previous state, Wu Hou should have fallen to the ground, but this time he didn't, but raised his hand casually, and opened his claws.
Although the White Tiger's IQ is not very high, it understands some aspects very well, and it knows that the Wu Hou in front of it is stronger than before.
So the white tiger put down its big paws, and the whole tiger body jumped back, its limbs bent, its head hung to the ground, and it looked at Wu Hou and let out a low roar.
Wu Hou had finished eating, he wiped his hands, looked at the white tiger who was putting on this posture, and wondered, "What are you doing?"
The white tiger slapped the ground with one paw, making a "bang" sound.
Wu Hou understood, laughed and said, "Do you want to compare?"
The white tiger blinked, suddenly raised his upper body towards Wu Hou, and pounced. Wu Hou raised his arms and took two steps forward, and then grabbed the two front paws of the white tiger with precision with both hands, and held the upper body of the white tiger's falling body firmly in the air.
White Tiger and Wu Hou are just fighting, testing their strength, and they will not really fight viciously, the two are in a stalemate, the White Tiger vigorously presses down the upper body, Wu Hou vigorously holds the front paws of the White Tiger, so that it can't be suppressed, a competition stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes, no one used all their strength, and they didn't distinguish between winning and losing.
However, the white tiger seems to be in a good mood, the strength of Wu Hou's body has reached the point where it also feels good, and its weight is very clear, although it is only the upper body, but it also weighs four or five hundred catties, Wu Hou can last so long, which shows how much strength he has now.
However, Wu Hou's insistence was not easy, his face was already covered with sweat, and his close-fitting clothes were soaked, although it was a competition, it was not easy for him, and the weight of the white tiger was still too heavy for him.
When he couldn't hold on, Wu Hou suddenly roared, and while the white tiger didn't care, he directly lifted the white tiger over, and the entire tiger body fell backwards, and then fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled sound.
The white tiger turned over and stood up, not angry, it was tall and straight, looking at Wu Hou from this angle, Wu Hou's size was only to the base of its legs.
Wu Hou panted and looked up at the white tiger and said, "No, you're too heavy to carry." ”
The white tiger shook his head, looked at Wu Hou's feet and sniffed his nose.
Wu Hou glanced down and saw that the position he was standing on just now had been sunken a few centimeters, and it was a hard stone surface, like a dough, it had been stepped on and collapsed.
There was a sound of breaking wind in the distance, and then a black shadow flew towards the side of a man and a tiger at a very fast speed, standing firmly on the top of the mountain, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust.
Wu Hou and Bai Hu stared at this scene, and when the smoke and dust cleared, they saw Guo Xianda in it, his clothes were a little messy, and his hair was also messy standing there.
Wu Hou exclaimed, "Grandpa!" The white tiger also let out a whistling sound.
Guo Xianda looked at the two, clapped his hands, stepped forward, saw the two grilled fish on the ground, bent down to pick them up and ate them, frowned, and did not speak.
Grandpa disappeared for a whole day, and only came back in the evening, and he didn't know what he was doing, so Wu Hou opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa, where have you been, why did you come back?"
Guo Xianda spit out a few fish bones, looked at Wu Hou and Baihu, and said sadly, "Good grandson, your grandfather and I are derelict in our duties." ”
"Dereliction of duty?" Wu Hou repeated, asking, "Dereliction of duty?"
Guo Xianda shook his head, took two steps in contemplation, and then looked up at the sunset in the west, reflecting every mountain, reflecting the fiery red of the mountain, he slowly spoke, "In the end, it is a mountain man who lives in a remote corner, he is timid and afraid, he really wants to kill, and he really doesn't have the courage to ......."
Wu Hou walked over, looked at his grandfather and said in surprise, "Grandpa, what did you say?"
Guo Xianda hesitated to talk to Wu Hou about his own affairs, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak, the conversation with Duanmu Shenjiu by the river that day made him decide some things, but now Wu Hou is still young, Guo Xianda feels that it is better not to tell him first, if you don't have to tell him in this life, it is the best.
