By this time, the sky was completely bright, and the orange-red morning light shone through the leaves, and the dark and strange atmosphere in the woods was swept away.

The horses were extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye they reached the edge of the woods, and Hu Yun thought to himself: "I'd better leave quickly, otherwise this corpse full of corpses, even if it is explained clearly, will get into trouble." Let's take her with you, and send her home later. Leaving her alone here now would be tantamount to killing her. ”

Thinking of this, Hu Yun jumped down from the tree, entered the carriage and took the girl out, and was about to leave, when he saw the corpses on the ground, he thought: "It's not afraid to sleep alone, but now with a little girl, if you are penniless, it will be a lot of inconvenience." It's better to scavenge some money from these dead people. ”

The sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, Hu Yun didn't dare to delay too much, those thieves were all poor and white, and they didn't have any money on them, so he only reached into the old man's arms and touched them, and took out two silver ingots, a letter and a token-like thing, and at this time he didn't have time to look closely, all of them were stuffed into his arms, and then ran to the depths of the woods.

Hu Yun walked for a while, and then felt the little girl in his arms twist her body, and then whimpered and cried, he put the little girl down and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”

The girl curled up, kicked her legs on the ground, and pushed back with all her might, until her body was against a tree trunk, and then she stopped, still crying, tears all over her face.

Hu Yun was speechless for a while, knowing that this girl was still young and couldn't explain anything, so he had a plan and scared her: "Little girl, don't cry, I heard that there are tigers in this woods, what if you invite tigers?"

This trick really worked, and the little girl immediately stopped crying and asked nervously, "What tiger? You liar, there are no tigers here." As he spoke, he turned his head to look around, his face full of nervousness.

Hu Yun pretended to be serious and said: "Let me tell you, my family is a hunter in the mountains, I don't know if there are any tigers here? Just yesterday, the tiger ate a child?"

Seeing his serious expression, the little girl couldn't help but believe it, and couldn't help but become more nervous, and said, "That'...... Let's hurry up. ”

Hu Yun said: "As long as you don't cry and cry to annoy me, what is a tiger? Don't be afraid, I'll kill one and kill one pair." ”

As the saying goes, the clouds are born from the dragon, and the wind is born from the tiger, after that gust of wind, I only heard a sound from the deep woods, and a huge tiger jumped out.

When the little girl saw this, she exclaimed, "Oh, the tiger is really here." He jumped up and ran behind Hu Yun, grabbing him tightly on the placket of his clothes.

Hu Yun's brain was bruised, and he thought: "It's really evil, what do you say." But at this time, he had no time to think about anything else, so he hurriedly took the little girl back to a big tree, and said stubbornly: "I'm not wrong, hide it obediently, and see how I kill the tiger." So saying, he pushed the little girl behind the tree, then jumped a few feet away, stretched out his hand and took out the dagger, and stared at the tiger with blazing eyes.

The tiger had not eaten for many days, was hungry and thirsty, pressed its paws to the ground, threw itself into the air, and then rushed towards Hu Yun. Hu Yun's body was agile, and he flashed to the side and dodged behind the tiger. Seeing that the tiger was missing, he raised his head and let out a tiger roar, and the mountains that shook were chaotic, turned over, and Hu Yun hid to the side again. The tiger couldn't lift it, and it was even more annoyed, and swept it away with the tiger's tail.

Hu Yun saw that the tiger tail swept over like an iron rod, and if he wanted to dodge to the side, it was too late, so he could only jump. The tiger's tail swept past the soles of his feet with a strong wind, Hu Yun felt that the soles of his feet were swept away by the strong wind, and his palms were sweating, thinking: "Fortunately, I jumped high, otherwise I would have been swept to my body, where would I still have my life." ”

When the tiger saw that the three hits missed, his momentum shriveled by half, and while panting, he walked around Hu Yun, looking for an opportunity. Seeing that this tiger was nothing more than this, Hu Yun immediately became bolder, clenched the dagger in his hand, and thought about how to get out.

At this moment, the little girl exclaimed, "Snake, there are snakes here." He jumped out from behind the tree and ran towards Hu Yun. Hu Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, don't you see a tiger here?" He waved his hand as he spoke.

In fact, you can't blame the little girl, in this barren mountains and mountains, she has already relied on Hu Yun in her heart, and her first reaction when she encounters danger is to get close to Hu Yun.

Just as Hu Yun waved his hand, the tiger saw the opportunity and pounced on him suddenly, a few points faster than before, obviously using all his strength. Hu Yun wanted to dodge in the same way, but the little girl was running this way, if he dodged, the tiger would pounce on the little girl.

He was anxious that the tiger had pounced in front of him, and he could see the white mane on its belly. Hu Yun was in a hurry, and the tip of the dagger in his hand was upward, and his body jumped into the tiger's abdomen.

"Bang", the dagger cut a long hole in the tiger's abdomen, the heart, liver and spleen gurgled out, blood sprayed Hu Yun's head and face, and the tiger's body pressed him underneath.

The little girl saw the tiger pounce on him, and then Hu Yun disappeared, thinking that he had been eaten by the tiger, and in a panic, she couldn't tell whether the tiger was dead or alive, but just cried and shouted, "You...... Where are you? Come out, you say you can fight tigers, you liar, you deceive people. ”

Seeing the tiger's belly lifted upward, Hu Yun drilled his head out, and said with a smile: "What did I lie to you? Isn't the tiger dead?" The little girl saw that Hu Yun's face was full of tiger flesh and blood, and she was still talking with a smile, looking very funny, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hu Yun got out from under the tiger, saw the tiger staring at his eyes, he was already angry, and said: "Little girl, I'm not bragging, what about the tiger, how can it beat the dagger?"

The smell of blood wafted by, and the little girl covered her nose and took two steps back, saying, "Don't come here, your body smells bad." Hu Yun laughed, found a stream, and cleaned the filth on his body.

It was noon in this busy work, and both of them were hungry. Hu Yun lit a fire, cut off tiger meat with a dagger, roasted it on a branch, and asked, "Little girl, what is your name?"

The girl held her cheeks, looked at the barbecue with her eyes shining, and replied: "My name is Lu Ningxiang, and my family lives in Anle Village. ”

"Anle Village?" Hu Yun muttered in a low voice, he had never heard of this place, and asked again: "Do you still have relatives at home? Who are you that very powerful old man?"

"I don't know, I've lived with my mother since I was a child, and my mother died last month, and then Uncle Zheng came and asked me if I wanted to see my father. I said yes, I haven't seen my dad since I was a kid. Uncle Zheng said, 'He's a friend of my father's friends, and my father asked him to pick me up,' so I followed him. ”

Hu Yun nodded, and suddenly remembered the letter and token in the old man's arms, so he took them out. I saw that the token was cast with pig iron, surrounded by gold edges, and the word "Lu" was engraved in the center, which was thought to be the token of Lu Ningxiang's family.

Hu Yun took out the letter again, and saw that the seal had been opened, so he took out the letter paper and took a cursory look, it turned out that this Lu Ningxiang was the illegitimate daughter of Lu Anhou, a high-ranking official in Lin'an City, after her mother died, Lu Anhou's conscience found out, and asked his friend Old Man Zheng to send Lu Ningxiang back to Lin'an City to live.

After reading the letter, Hu Yun thought to himself: "What a coincidence, I happened to go to Lin'an City, and by the way, I will send this little girl to his father." ”

After the meat was cooked, the two had a full meal, and then set off towards Lin'an City. After escaping from the tiger's mouth just now, along the way, Lu Ningxiang obeyed Hu Yunyan and relied on him very much, and often peeked at Hu Yun, his eyes were full of admiration.

After walking on the official road, there were more pedestrians on the road, Hu Yun found a carriage, gave some silver, and let Lu Ningxiang sit in the carriage, so until the evening, he arrived in Lin'an City.
