The next morning, after midnight, Ah Fei had not yet arrived at the wooden house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Yun looked up at the sky, lowered his head and sighed, "I probably overslept again." "Ah Fei had also been late once or twice in the past because he got up late, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Of course, Ah Fei got up late a few times because Zhang Baiqiao, who woke him up, overslept overly, and if he let him get up by himself, I am afraid that he would be late every day.

Xu Yun paced back to the house, sat cross-legged on the side of the low table, and poured himself a drink. When the cat he had saw him sitting cross-legged, he crawled into his arms and petted him. Xu Yun was drinking wine while scratching the cat's chin, which was very pleasant. The flower cat was scratched by Xu Yun very comfortably, and its stomach made a "purring" sound.

"Senior brother, I'm here!" After waiting in the house for a long time, Xu Yun didn't see Ah Fei coming, but waited for Zhang Yuting, who delivered breakfast.

Xu Yun got up and walked out of the wooden house, and when he saw that Zhang Yuting was alone, he said strangely: "Xiaoyu, didn't Ah Fei come with you?" Zhang Yuting said: "No, how could he come with me? Why, he hasn't come here at this time." Maybe it was because I thought I could practice swordsmanship today last night, and I didn't sleep excitedly. You eat first, and he should be there in a moment. ”

Xu Yun sat down and moved a few chopsticks, and said, "No, I'm still a little worried, he has never been so late." Who is guarding the back door today?" He remembered that a few days ago, Zhang Yuting said that there were evil tigers in the mountains that hurt people, and suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Zhang Yuting saw that Xu Yun's expression was a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "It's the seventh senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong?"

Xu Yun said: "I'm afraid that Ah Fei ran into the mountains to hunt tigers." You go back and ask Fang Jin if he has seen Ah Fei go out. If you see it, you go to Lao Chang and ask him to bring more people to Ah Fei, and then you come back and tell me. He only told Zhang Yuting how to deal with Ah Fei if he went out, but he didn't say what Ah Fei should do in the village, because he concluded that Ah Fei was going to hunt tigers.

"Why do you have to go through the back door, he can also leave through the gate? Do I want to ask the senior brother guarding the mountain gate?" Zhang Yuting stood up and asked.

"If he had gone out to hunt tigers on his own initiative, he would have come out of the back door as usual. If he goes out from the mountain gate, he needs to pass through the gate of the villa and the bluestone platform, and he will be seen by many people. He came to the bamboo forest path through the back door every day to practice martial arts, and never walked around the mountain gate, and others would ask him the reason when they saw him there. In order not to arouse suspicion, he will still go through the back door. Don't worry about this, go back and ask!" Xu Yun said hurriedly.

"Senior brother, don't worry, maybe Ah Fei just caught a cold and contracted the wind cold, and didn't run to fight the tiger. Zhang Yuting said, turned around and ran out of the yard.

"Maybe, I wish he was sick. Xu Yun looked at Zhang Yuting who ran out and said in his heart.

At this time, Ah Fei had already wandered in the mountains for a long time. After he was called by Zhang Baiqiao in the morning, he hid his hunting crossbow and crossbow arrows in the package and went out. Fang Jin and Zhuang Ding, who were guarding the back door, saw him and let him out of Zhuangzi, everyone thought that he went to Xu Yun to practice martial arts as usual, and no one could have imagined that he was going to fight the tiger.

Ah Fei walked away from Zhuangzi before taking out the hunting crossbow in the package and loading the crossbow arrows. Then he turned around, and instead of taking the bamboo path, he walked towards the overgrown place.

Although Ah Fei also followed Yu Wanting to hunt, when hunting, the family always drove the prey in front of him, and he didn't need to search for wild beasts by himself. And if he was left to hunt alone, he could shoot a hare pheasant that could be found everywhere. But if you want to find a tiger in this mountain, it will be beyond Ah Fei's ability.

An experienced hunter may be able to find the tiger's hiding place from the clues he has found, but for Ah Fei, even if he puts these clues in front of him, he may not be able to know where the tiger is, let alone find it himself?

After a long time like this, he couldn't find any trace of the tiger, and Ah Fei became anxious in his heart: "I thought I could find the evil tiger quickly, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long." Walking in the mountains like this is not an option, and if you go on like this, you will not be able to find the evil tiger even if it is dark. Alas, if I can't find the evil tiger, I can't go back to Yunzhuang, and I will be laughed at if I return empty-handed. Kill that evil tiger, even if I go back and be scolded by Brother Xu, I will have an explanation, at least I didn't toss around. Ah, I should have brought in a hunter, I don't know where to start. The more Ah Fei thought about it, the more anxious he became, and the faster his steps became.

He estimated that Zhang Yuting should send breakfast to the wooden house at this time, and when he thought of eating, his stomach "gurgled". From the time he got up in the morning until now, he has been wandering around the mountains, but he has not eaten a mouthful of food. But who told him to bring his weapons and not his dry rations? He had to shoot a pheasant with a crossbow arrow, and then take out his knife and disembowel the pheasant—the arrow he had kept for the tiger, but he ended up shooting at a pheasant.

Ah Fei lit a fire with flint and then roasted a pheasant. With something to eat, Ah Fei left everything behind, and the aroma of the roast chicken spread out, and if he didn't attract the tiger, how could he be allowed to roast meat here leisurely? Fortunately, the tiger was not hiding in this vicinity, if it was nearby, I am afraid that Ah Fei and the half-cooked pheasant would become the belly of the tiger.

When the pheasant was almost roasted, Ah Fei remembered the danger: "What if the evil tiger comes when I eat the chicken here?" He looked at the big tree beside him, and said in his heart: "I sit on this tree and eat meat, even if the evil tiger comes, it will be helpless to take me." When I'm full, I'll give it an arrow downward, haha, and the tiger will be hunted!"

Thinking so, he put out the fire, and flew up the tree with his belongings and roasted pheasants, and sat down on the thick branches and ate the chicken. When people are hungry, everything they eat is fragrant, let alone a fragrant roast chicken? He ate the whole chicken in three bites and two bites, and the chicken bones were thrown under the tree.

Ah Fei smacked his lips and leaned against the trunk of the tree, sucking the chicken bone, as if he was still unsatisfied. He leaned against the big tree and basked in the sun, recalling the time he spent in Yujiazhuang. At that time, I either went down to the river to catch fish or shoot birds in the forest every day, and I was very happy. Although there are also grandfathers and sisters-in-law who urge themselves to practice martial arts, most of the time they still let themselves mess around, and it is not as hard as now. He closed his eyes and thought of the delicious pastries made by the cook at home, and he couldn't help but feel even more homesick.

At this time, Ah Fei heard what seemed to be a sound in the forest, but when he listened carefully, it seemed to be a flute, and he wondered in his heart: "In this deep mountain and wild forest, how can there be people playing the flute? Could it be that there are other residents in this mountain besides the people of Yunzhuang?" Ah Fei stood up and looked around, but there was no one in sight, so he sat down again, and secretly said: "It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, it's not the evil tiger, I haven't heard of a tiger that can play the flute." It just so happens that I'm full, so it's good to listen to the flute here. ”

The sound of the flute was sometimes melodious and tactful, sometimes crisp and high-pitched, and Ah Fei felt very comfortable listening to it. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the flute, and the posture of Xu Yun dancing the sword on the bamboo forest path appeared in his mind.

Ah Fei watched Xu Yun dancing his long sword in the green bamboo forest, and suddenly found that the person dancing the sword was not Xu Yun but himself. The place where the sword danced was not in the secluded bamboo forest, but in the lively Yujiazhuang. The person who watched him dance the sword on the side was none other than his grandfather Yu Wanting and sister-in-law Liu Yusleeve. He listened to the sound of the flute and thought that he was dancing the sword to his grandfather and sister-in-law at home, when his heart suddenly became sour and he cried loudly.

Who wanted Ah Fei to cry like this, but the flute stopped. When Ah Fei opened his eyes, he saw a red figure flashing not far away. When he saw that the man was dressed in red, he cried out, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"

When Ah Fei saw that the man should not, he got up and chased after him. But he suddenly remembered that this place was far away from Yujiazhuang, and his sister-in-law Liu Yusleeve would not let go of the things in the village and come here, and he never knew that his sister-in-law could play the flute and play it so well, so he felt that the person was not his sister-in-law, so he leaned back on the trunk of the tree.

Ah Fei squinted at the red sun in the sky, and felt a little melancholy in his heart: "It's been more than two months since I left home, and I really want to go back and see." Although he didn't have the slightest grievance on Baiyun Peak, he was only thirteen years old after all, and for him, who had never left home since he was a child in Yujiazhuang, it was really difficult for him to let him study art alone in Yunzhuang.

The sun warmed his whole body, and Ah Fei involuntarily stretched and yawned - he was sleepy. He looked at the sky and thought, "It's still early, why don't I sleep in this tree and recuperate, and then go to the evil tiger." Maybe you'll be able to meet the people sent out to fight the tiger in the villa in a while. So he put all the bolts into the package, tied it to the branches, and fell asleep against the tree.

I don't know how long I slept, Ah Fei woke up when he smelled a fishy smell, he smelled the pungent smell, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. His previous experience of hunting had taught him that the smell was the smell of wild beasts.

Ah Fei cautiously looked down, and after only one glance, his hair stood on end all over his body, and he was sweating profusely—there was a colorful tiger squatting under the tree.

The tiger raised his head and was also looking at Ah Fei.

Maybe it was the chicken bone that Ah Fei threw under the tree that attracted the tiger, or maybe it was just because Ah Fei's breath attracted it, in short, it was now squatting under the tree and staring at Ah Fei who was straddling the high branch, and it didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

Before going to bed, Ah Fei was still thinking about finding the evil tiger and hunting it. But when this tiger was really in front of him, Ah Fei was at a loss. This was the first time he had seen a live tiger, and it was not easy to kill such a behemoth by himself! He now knew why Yunzhuang had sent people to round up this evil tiger several times but had returned in vain, not to mention catching it, even if he confronted the evil tiger face to face, an inexplicable chill appeared in his heart.

Ah Fei looked down at the tiger again, and saw that the tiger had gotten up and spun around under the tree, and his heart became even more panicked. He calmed down, took a few deep breaths of cool air, and took out the crossbow with trepidation, and it took a long time to put the crossbow arrow on it. But the tiger kept spinning under the tree, and Ah Fei held a hunting crossbow, but he didn't know when to strike.

On the tree, Ah Fei is holding a crossbow and waiting for an opportunity, and under the tree, a tiger keeps walking and waiting to hurt people. In this way, one man and one tiger stalemate for a long time, and finally the tiger became tired and squatted down again. Seeing that the time had come, Ah Fei shook his fingers and pulled the crossbow machine.

I only heard a tiger roar, which resounded through the mountains and forests, Ah Fei shrank his head and leaned on the trunk of the tree, and he didn't dare to breathe. When he looked down again, he saw that the steel arrow had already been inserted into the tiger's left eye, and blood was gurgling out of his eye socket, staining the tiger's cheeks red. The tiger was in pain, made a "whining" sound from its mouth, and kept clutching the trunk of the tree, trying to climb the tree. Seeing that this tiger was so fierce that it couldn't kill with one arrow, Ah Fei was horrified in his heart, and continued to wind the hunting crossbow with trembling hands.

The evil tiger jumped straight up, and Ah Fei was so anxious that he couldn't set up the crossbow arrow for a while. Unexpectedly, the tiger grabbed the trunk of the tree and jumped violently, almost touching Ah Fei's feet.

Ah Fei was scared in his heart, his whole body was already stiff, and his movements were very inconvenient, he saw that the evil tiger was about to touch him, and subconsciously shrank his feet and dodged. I didn't want him to hide like this, but he lost his center of gravity and fell from the tree.

Although Ah Fei's hands and feet were no longer very obedient, his reaction was still fast enough, and before he landed, he had already turned around and flew out, and he did not fall next to the tiger when he landed. But the crossbow he relied on to fight the tiger had already fallen out of his hand and fell beside the tiger. Ah Fei fell and was in pain all over his body, barely standing up, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he pulled his legs and ran. When the tiger saw Ah Fei running away, he roared and chased after him.

Ah Fei didn't run a few steps before he heard the sound of the fierce tiger gasping behind him getting closer and closer. He wanted to leap up the tree with light skills, but he felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't use any strength. He knew that he was doomed, so he leaned against a big tree with his back, and took out the knife from his bosom that had just disemboweled the pheasant, and tried to fight the tiger for his life.

He held the knife in both hands, his whole body trembled, and stared at the tiger running over. He saw the tiger pounce and open its bloody mouth, as if he had been put into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold. His eyes were closed, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground, knowing that he would not survive.

"I'm going to die!" Ah Fei muttered silently in his heart. In his heart, he felt nothing but the fear of death. Whether it was the desire to learn the sword or the longing for his family, all of them were gone, and all he had in his heart was the fear of death.

But the tiger did not pounce. When Ah Fei opened his eyes, he saw that it was not the bloody mouth of the tiger, but the back of a thin man. Dressed in green clothes, and with the long hair that was scattered, Ah Fei recognized this back. The person who stopped the tiger was Brother Xu Yunxu who taught himself to practice every day!

After Xu Yun learned from Zhang Yuting that Fang Jin had seen Ah Fei go out in the early morning, he rushed out of the bamboo forest path with his sword. But he didn't know where Ah Fei went, so he could only look for traces of Ah Fei's walk in those inaccessible places in the mountains. He searched for most of the day, until he heard the tiger's roar, and he hurried to the place where the sound came from—the tiger's roar was the tiger's roar when Ah Fei shot the tiger's left eye.

Thanks to this tiger roar, Xu Yun was able to find Ah Fei's location, which allowed him to stop the tiger's fatal blow to Ah Fei at the last moment—when he saw the evil tiger pounce on Ah Fei, he jumped up and blocked Ah Fei's body.

Xu Yun tried his best to support the tiger's upper and lower jaws with both hands, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell down his face in strings. He exerted all his strength, shouted, and exerted his arms, only to hear a "click", and the tiger's jaw was actually broken by him.

The tiger was seriously injured and collapsed to the side, and Xu Yun had a chance to draw his long sword. He stabbed the tiger in the chest a dozen times before he stopped, and the tiger was already lying on the ground and not moving.

Xu Yun looked back at Ah Fei, squinted his eyes and said softly, "Okay, it's okay, let's go back." He said this, but the whole man sat on the ground. He fought too fiercely with the tiger just now, and he has no strength at all now.

Seeing that the evil tiger was dead, Ah Fei was glad that he had escaped, but he was still so frightened that he couldn't speak. He sat down leaning against the tree, his whole body still shaking. He looked at Xu Yun gratefully, but saw that Xu Yun's hands had already been stained red with blood, and he didn't know if the blood belonged to the evil tiger or Xu Yun's own.
