Chapter 22: The Tiger Strikes

In the mountains and forests, the spring breeze has just arrived, and the first rain has just been poured. The grass and trees in the mountains are sparse, and the branches that have fallen to the ground are wet by the drizzle, and they are hidden in the bushes with yellow moldy ash.

The young man seems to be stupid, but he is also ahead of the girl. Holding an Emei thorn-like weapon in his hand, he cut off the withered grass and ancient trees blocking the way.

The little girl was not surprised, this stone brother appeared in the vegetable garden behind her house a few months ago out of nowhere. Zijuan's parents died early, and she depended on her grandmother since she was a child.

One day, two days, January, two months. gradually became familiar with it, Zijuan knew that this young man was also a hard-working person, she took him to eat enough every day, took him up the mountain to chop wood and carry water, and gradually became acquainted. Zijuan also gave this young man who never spoke a name, Stone. It's just that no matter what question Brother Shi asks, he just doesn't say a word. He was said to be insane, but since he woke up from the rock, the strange thing he was holding in his hand never left his side.

The cliff leaks chalcedony, and Fanggu is quite danzhi. The clouds are falling, and the jade is bright.

"Brother Shi, I know my grandmother is sick. ”

In front of the young man, the little girl had just finished picking an herb, and her little face was full of sorrow. Zijuan also knew that Brother Shi never spoke, but when she thought of her grandmother's sick appearance with her. Zijuan's heart was sour for no reason, and she didn't care if the stone could understand it or not. However, I wanted to talk to him.

"Grandma seems to be not getting better this time, what should we do, Brother Stone?"

"Hey......" Stone sat on a piece of gravel. I just found an ant worm, and I was having fun holding it in my hand. Seeing that Zijuan's face was unhappy, the stone stretched out his broad palm and spread it out with a smile for Zijuan to see.

"Alas...... Go play it yourself. Zijuan was not in the mood to play with the stones, and sighed at a young age.

The rain had not yet dissipated, and the droplets of water that came out of the branches swayed in the wind and fell on the little girl's thin clothes. Zijuan's small mouth trembled, and she pulled the young man to continue to collect medicine.

"Brother Shi, Nan Nan found a stone dragon beard. ”

This stone dragon beard is an herb for treating bedridden and general malaise (i.e., rheumatism). Zijuan's small eyes lit up, staring at the grass and trees like a dragon's beard. It's just that it grows in the cracks of boulders in the mountains, and Zijuan's little hands can't catch it.

"Brother Stone, come and pick it up. ”

When the young man heard this, he did not speak, but cut off the thorns around him with the strange dagger in his hand. His tall body was prostrate on the ground, and he stretched out his hand to uproot the stone dragon's whiskers. Seeing this, Zijuan secretly said that she was fortunate to bring Brother Shi here.

Shi Chong smiled at the little girl, and Zijuan took the stone dragon beard in his hand. The little girl gave him another thumbs up, and the young man became even happier and elated.

Zijuan saw that Shi Zi's childlike heart was not sleeping, it seemed that he was just a child, and he was an adult, so he stared at the young man with his little hand on his waist and said, "Brother Shi, I have decided." Waiting for grandma ......"

Speaking of this, Zijuan choked up before speaking. After all, it was a little girl, and thinking that the grandmother who brought her up might not have much time, Zijuan wanted to cry.

"Well, adults can't cry in front of children. Zijuan seemed to comfort herself much better. A handful of grabbing a piece of wheat straw that was playing in his hand from the stone, pretending to be old-fashioned, "We want to get out of here, out of Little Sheep Village." ”

"Brother Shi, do you know where I want to go?"

"When Nan Nan was very young, there was no Brother Shi at that time. Oh, it's when you haven't come yet, Brother Stone. ”

"Nan Nan was also collecting medicine in the back mountain and met a white-bearded old man. He's amazing, he can fly, and he can conjure things. He told him to follow him and become as powerful as him. ”

"That's supposed to be an immortal, right? Alas, you don't understand it. Zijuan said with her little hand on her chin. At this moment, she was lying in the basket behind the young man, and the stone carried her through the mountain road, and I didn't know if I understood what she was saying.

"Brother Shi, I want to go with him. In that way, you can make a lot of delicious food, and you don't have to make grandma work so hard every day. ”

"When I learn the spell of changing things, I will also make Brother Shi better. Your beard is so ugly, I'm going to help you become like my daddy. Nan Nan has seen the portrait of his father, with the same neat beard as the king of the stove. However, my dad is a little better looking than her. I can't help but laugh at this, how can I compare my father with the god of the stove, and it is really childish.

"But I don't want to leave my grandmother behind. The old man with the white beard said that I was the only one who went with him, so I didn't go. But...... Grandma was sick, and I knew she was getting old and she was leaving. Zijuan's little girl had a heart, and when she said this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and began to cry again.

In the forest, the little girl's cries came and went. The young man hurriedly stopped, as if he wanted to make the little girl happy, dancing and pretending to be ugly.

Zijuan has been used to hardships since she was a child, where has anyone coaxed her. Although this stone is usually stupid and stupid, he also knows that he amuses himself when he is sad, and he only thinks that he just said that he brought his brother Shi with him in vain. Breaking into laughter, he stretched out his little hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. Seeing this, the young man also stood in place, wiped his nose and wiped the corners of his eyes like her, and the girl who provoked him was angry and happy.

Zijuan was about to chase the young man and beg for a beating, when the birds and beasts in the forest suddenly set off a commotion, and the leaves and grass fell and moved.

Zijuan was careful and took a breath, but found a colorful tiger looking at the two of them motionless in the grass behind Brother Shi. She was shocked, and tears were about to fall.

The young man seemed to have found nothing, and suddenly saw the little girl still crying. Thinking that he had provoked her to cry by imitating her movements, the tall body walked towards the girl and wiped her tears.

Where can Zijuan take care of other things, watching the colorful tiger come step by step, she was so frightened that her heart and eyes jumped out. Her lips trembled and she said, "There's a big bug, it's a big bug, Brother Shi, it's ...... behind you."

The young man didn't seem to hear anything, still looking at Zijuan with a grin. The giant tiger was already only a meter behind the young man, and he was about to pounce on him. Zijuan didn't know where the courage came from, so she pushed the young man away.

"Roaring ......"

A tiger roar shook the mountains and forests, and the cold fangs of the giant tiger opened out, and a pair of tiger claws were about to step on this Zijuan. She is small and tender, as long as this big tiger goes down with one paw, she is afraid that she will die here. The young man who was pushed away by Zijuan happened to see the tiger biting him.

In the midst of the lightning, the young man jumped up straight and slammed in front of Zijuan. The young man looked sluggish, and he didn't know how much strength he had, but a pair of fleshy hands actually grabbed the tiger's teeth. The tiger roared, and the young man's body was thrown away, and he slammed into the trunk of the tree, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Brother Stone......" Zijuan shouted.

The little girl had nothing to do at the moment, but could only watch the giant tiger approaching the stone step by step. She was too frightened to open her eyes to see the terrible scene, and only prayed secretly in her heart, and her eyes were already flooded. blamed themselves for crying wildly, attracting a giant tiger, and causing the two of them to die today.

"Boom ......"

There was another loud bang, and the young man stood up and scuffled with the giant tiger at some point. Zijuan was so frightened that she couldn't believe her eyes, Brother Shi actually fought with the big tiger, and although he was weak. But he actually raised the tiger's hands and slammed it to the ground.

"Brother Stone is good, kill the big bugs. ”

The two escaped death, and Zijuan rejoiced. The stone was still mingling with the big tiger, and it was smashed with one punch after another, and even the giant tiger wailed. The young man's original stupid appearance seemed to have become extremely irritable at the moment. I don't know how many hits, the giant tiger is already dying, and only his last breath is left after being beaten by the young man. As if tired, the young man's eyes were no longer bloody, and he regained his clarity.

With the tiger's last wail, there was no movement from it. The young man removed from the tiger's body and lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

Zijuan was stepping forward, just in time to see that although the stone had won, there were also wisps of blood spilling out of his forehead, which was about to flow to his neck. The little girl was startled, but she saw that the stone still showed that innocent smile to her, and she must have no reason in her heart. It's just that the young man, after smiling at the little girl, fell heavily to the ground and passed out.
