The second tiger also shouted angrily at their distant backs: "Money is promising! You wait, you dare to set a trap for Lao Tzu to stumble, Lao Tzu will never spare you!"

Hongling said: "Brother Erhu, forget it, don't pay attention to them, it's not worth it like them." ”

"I said Hongling girl, if you want to say that others are afraid of money, why are you a big lady afraid of him? Your father is the most powerful and wealthy landlord in our area, and your second uncle is the magistrate of the Republic of China in our Lucao County, your family is rich and powerful, what are you afraid of him for?"

"You are talking nonsense, our Liu family has always been very low-key, never showing off, and besides, the Qian Youwei family is the richest man in the county, several times richer than our Liu family, we dare not compare with the Qian family. ”

"Hmph, your Liu family is low-key, I'm a poor boy, but I'm not afraid of him. When Lao Tzu has spare time, he must break their dog's legs, so that he doesn't have to run to the front to set a trap for us. ”

"Oh, Brother Erhu, don't say it, the horses are lost. ”

"It's okay, the jujube red horse can't run......" he said, and hurriedly whistled, and after a while, the jujube red horse didn't know where the road came from, ran back and stopped beside the second tiger.

Hongling exclaimed happily: "Oh, Brother Erhu, this is really amazing for you, you can run back by yourself!"

Then, they rested next to the dirt pit for a while, and saw that it was getting late, and the smoke curled from every house in the small lonely mountain. Erhu and Hongling each picked up their schoolbags, fortunately, neither of them was injured, Erhu led the horse, Hongling stopped riding, and followed Erhu home on foot.

When they were about to reach the head of the village, in order to prevent the villagers from seeing and gossiping, Erhu and Hongling walked separately and walked to their respective homes.

Erhu returned home, did not alarm his mother and sister, went straight into his east wing, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Erhu's family got up early, and the mother learned that her son was coming back to hunt in the grassland, so she hurriedly helped the apricot flowers to cook. The two tigers are silently preparing their hunting bags such as bows and arrows, short knives and food.

After a while, Xinghua brought the wine and food to the kang table, and saw Erhu in a daze at the bow and arrow left by his father, and knew that he missed his father again. When my father was alive, he often went into the grasslands to hunt, year after year, day after day.

At this time, the family saw things and thought about people, and they were infinitely sad. Erhu's mind was recalling his father's tall, burly figure. It was as if I saw my father wearing a chic hunting costume, riding a jujube red horse, returning from hunting on the grassland, smiling and unloading the prey from the jujube red horse one by one: steppe wolves, silly roe deer, wild pheasants, yellow sheep, hares...... The family moved happily, and he still remembers the happy scene.

Although their Zheng family is poor, they live a good life, and they are harmonious and beautiful. Unexpectedly, his father actually died, Erhu's eyes were full of tears, in the past he followed his father into the grassland to hunt every year, and now he had to go alone.

Erhu thinks that he has grown up, and he should take on the responsibility of the family and let his mother and sister live a little better.

"Erhu, let's eat. Xinghua screamed softly, interrupting Erhu's thoughts.

This morning, the family specially stewed an old hen, and also scalded a pot of old wine, the meat is fragrant and strong, this is the breakfast specially prepared by the mother and sister for the two tigers to hunt.

Xinghua finished the work underground, so she silently went to the kang, poured a bowl of old white wine for Erhu, and put a piece of meat into Erhu's bowl. Erhu took a big sip when he picked it up, and his face immediately turned red. Originally, he didn't know how to drink, but today is different, if he wants to go into the mountains alone to hunt, he has to drink some wine like his father did every time he hunts, one to ward off the cold, and the other to fight bravely. It was this drinking that verified his thousands of glasses of alcohol. Because he drank three bowls of old liquor in a row, he didn't feel it at all.

The mother was not in good health and did not drink, but she saw the shadow of her husband in her son's body, and thought about her heart, so she went back to the east house kang to rest after eating.

The second tiger knew his mother's thoughts, and looked up at the apricot blossom, and the apricot blossom was also flickering with a pair of big dark eyes looking at the second tiger with concern. There seemed to be endless sadness and pain hidden in her eyes, and Erhu also felt that she was not worried about entering the grassland alone, but there was no way. My father is gone, my mother is sick again, how can I make a living on the few acres of thin land at home, and how can I save my tuition fees?

Xinghua looked at the second tiger who was stunned in a daze, and knew that he was still thinking about the past, so he said: "Second tiger, don't drink too much, eat quickly, the meat is almost cold." ”

Erhu's heart was suddenly shocked, thinking that he couldn't be too sad, he was about to grow a year old, he was a big man, especially in front of his mother and sister, he must learn to be strong and learn to be a man, so he smiled and said: "Sister, you can also take a sip, the weather is cold and warm." As she spoke, she poured a small half bowl of wine for Xinghua.

"Okay, I'll drink!" Xinghua flashed her big dark eyes, took a sip, and instantly a red cloud flew up her cheeks, and her already ruddy face became even more gorgeous.

Xinghua lowered her head from the spicy old wine, Erhu looked up at her, thinking that she had just returned home on Sunday, and now she was about to leave home immediately, and she couldn't help but look at Xinghua. After a few days of not seeing him, he felt that the full moon cheeks of Xinghua were fuller, and her dark hair, except for a few locks that hung down messily on her forehead, was casually but neatly draped down the back of her head, scattered like a waterfall, because she was busy cooking for herself, and she had not yet had time to comb it. Her eyebrows are thick and slender, and under her eyebrows are a pair of bright and clear eyes, full of ice and snow intelligence and aura, as well as the well-defined nose wings, thin and delicate lips, everything is heartwarming.

After seeing this, Erhu poured himself a large bowl of old wine, and dried it in one go, and then he put on the old sheepskin jacket that his father liked to wear most during his lifetime, tied his legs, brought enough dry food, water, and the small tent made of 10 wolf skins for lodging in the wilderness, picked up a bow and arrow, a short knife, and a steel fork more than two feet long, and stepped on the jujube red horse and walked into the prairie......

The autumn sun shines powerlessly on this boundless prairie. The second tiger rode a jujube red horse and gradually moved away from Xiaogu Mountain.

At the age of eight or nine, he followed his father into the grassland to hunt, and experienced a good kung fu of bowing and archery, and forged a good body for riding and archery, as well as the ability to walk quickly on rugged mountain roads and muddy grasslands. If ordinary people reach this kind of place, they may not be able to walk an inch and fall into a swamp or a quagmire, but the second tiger can walk like a fly on this kind of harsh ground.

At this time, the second tiger had already gone into the depths of the prairie, and came to the place 50 miles away from Xiaogu Mountain, where he used to follow his father to hunt.

He turned over and dismounted, took his hunting weapon, and let the red horse graze on the side. Then, following his father's example of hunting, he scanned the wild beasts in the nearby sand dunes and artemisia grass with his big alert eyes......

Suddenly, on a sand dune in front of him, a snow-white silver fox entered the sight of the second tiger!

The white fur shone in the sun, and it immediately lit up the eyes of the two tigers. The white elves, moving rapidly over the brown sand dunes and the yellow and green grass, stood out.

Erhu was overjoyed in his heart, and he concluded that this silver fox was the cunning silver fox that his father had said before his death, and had slipped away from his father's arrows many times. He immediately took his bow and arrows from his back and hurried to follow......
