Chapter XIV

When I woke up, it was already the next morning, according to the modern time estimate, it was about 10 o'clock in the morning, this sleep was really sound, I complained about why Xiaolu didn't wake me up, while looking around in this stone nest, strangely both of them were not here, the fire in the middle stone was still burning, and there were a few pieces of roasted venison and a few washed wild fruits on the stone on the side.

I straightened my hair and ate two pieces of venison and three wild fruits, and walked out of the stone nest.

"Sister Qin, get up, Brother Liu said don't call you, let you sleep more. ”

Xiao Lu was in the open ground outside the stone nest, holding a handful of dead branches from the woods, because of the rain last night, the branches were not too dry, and she wanted to put the wood in a place where the sun could shine to dry.

Today's weather is not bad, the warm sun bathes the mountain forest, a few birds chirp briskly in the dense forest, and sometimes you can see very beautiful birds flying by.

I jumped down the stone steps and went down to help Dew dry the wood.

"Xiaolu, where did Brother Liu go?"

"Oh, he said he would find a secluded place to recover, and told us not to go to him, and that he would come back when the time came. ”

"That's right, Xiaolu, let's go find some wild fruits and come back, and give me your dagger, and let's kill a few deer when we meet them." ”

When Xiao Lu heard this, she was very happy, and hurriedly took the dagger to me, Xiao Lu took out two grass blue woven with flexible wild grass from the stone nest, which was used to hold the collected wild fruits, no need to ask, this grass basket must have been made by Liu Yifan, I really didn't expect this big man to also have a clever side.

After getting ready, Xiaolu and I walked along the mountain road to the stream not far away, in my opinion, there must be wild fruits along the water's edge, thinking about the ruby eye found the day before yesterday, the taste is still aftertaste, I must pick more here today, and if I can't finish eating, I can also put it in the sun to dry the fruit.

We walked along the stream, the mountain is very large, the road is very difficult to walk, the mountain forest surface after the rain is very slippery, Xiaolu and I almost fell several times along the way, looking for nearly 300 meters we did not find any wild fruits.

After sitting on a rock and resting for a while, we continued to look deeper into the forest.

"Ah, Sister Qin, there are so many wild water Shans. ”

Looking along Xiao Lu's hand, several bowl-thick night water trees were full of red wild fruits, the fruit was only the size of a little finger, and the shape was flattened. Pick one and put it in your mouth, it is sweet with a sour taste.

"It's not bad, well, let's pick some more. ”

It didn't take long for us to fill a fruit basket.

"It's okay, Xiaolu, we'll pick it when this basket is finished, let's continue to look for it, see if there are any hares or something, and eat wild fruits, I'm afraid that a few of us will be malnourished." ”

After listening to me, Xiaolu stopped picking, and I found that the mountain soil of Changshui Shanshu was relatively fertile, and if I looked inside, I would definitely get a harvest, so I took Xiaolu no longer along the stream, but directly into this mountain forest.

The trees in the mountains and forests are very thick, and from time to time you can see poisonous snakes crawling quickly on the damp ground, and occasionally a lazy lying on the ground when someone comes, straightening his neck from afar, sneering and spitting dark letters, fortunately I am not afraid of snakes, if I had changed to before, I would have hid far away.

I thought that we should eat less snake meat, although I am not afraid of snakes, but if I hunt a few poisonous snakes, and then peel off the snake skin, I still don't want to do this, Xiaolu next to me followed me, although she is not afraid of snakes, but this silent primeval mountain forest, just us two girls, no matter how scared in our hearts.

At this time, suddenly a fawn appeared more than 10 meters in front of us, it seems that this fawn is not yet an adult, compared to Liu Yifan hunting that is only half smaller, the fawn leisurely gnawed on the ground grass, did not find us not far away.

I gestured to keep Lu silent, and then asked her to hide gently behind a large tree, I held the dagger in my hand, bent over, cat steps, held my breath, and walked slowly towards the fawn.

Eight steps.

Seven steps.

Six steps.

Five steps.

I stopped, took a deep breath, judged the distance between the fawn and me, if I rushed with all my strength, it should be no problem, looking at the deer not far away, I suddenly forced, jumped up from the grass, and the body soared almost 2 meters into the air, and then quickly stabbed at the fawn.

When the fawn saw movement, he ran away, and by the time my dagger stabbed in front of it, the fawn had already dodged to the side.

I fell heavily on the place where the fawn had been grassy, and this time I didn't even touch the fawn's fur, and I fell so badly that I fainted, I only blamed myself for being too stupid.

I quickly got up, patted the mud and grass on my body, and told Xiaolu to follow me.

I performed a light trick in the direction of the fawn's escape, and quickly chased after it.

This little deer ran really fast, and it lost its trace in three or five strokes in the forest, I couldn't help but wonder, thinking that killing the big deer when Liu Yifan was injured was simply a second kill, how could I not even get a little deer, it was really stupid.

I stopped, thinking that this venison seems to be unedible today, and Xiao Lu behind me has not yet caught up, thinking that I chased the deer with no life just now, and Xiao Lu is far from keeping up with the speed, it is estimated that Xiao Lu is still in the place just now, I turned around and looked for Xiao Lu.

Not far back, suddenly there was a roar of a beast from Xiao Lu's side, and then Xiao Lu was heard screaming.

It's over, something happened, my heart was numb, and I quickly ran in the direction of Xiaolu.

When I got closer, I was completely stunned by what I saw.

A huge tiger was frantically biting Xiao Lu lying on the ground, Xiao Lu was already motionless, one arm had been completely bitten off by the tiger, there was a deep wound on the neck, red blood was still bubbling from the wound, the grass blue on the ground was thrown far away, and the surrounding area was sprinkled with bright red wild water fruits.

When the tiger saw someone coming, he stopped biting, glanced at me, opened his mouth that was still dripping with blood, screamed on the spot, and then continued to tear at the dew in the ground as if nothing had happened.

I was completely stunned, my body shaking.

I've seen tigers in zoos before, and I've seen tigers hunting and feeding live chickens in cages, but now the situation is so shocking, bloody and terrifying, my mind is blank, and I don't know what to do.

Escape?

By the way, I can't wait for any miracle in the current situation, Wu Song is not from this dynasty, and this is not Jingyanggang, looking at the fierce tiger, even if Liu Yifan immediately appears beside him, there is no guarantee that he can subdue this tiger, not to mention, with this dagger in his hand, and he can be regarded as a little bit of strength, how many I send it over can only be a dead end.

I'm sorry, Xiaolu, it's my sister's fault, I shouldn't have taken you to this deep mountain and old forest to chase some deer. I didn't expect that there would be tigers in this mountain forest, and the natural environment is too good.

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with my hands, and I had to find an opportunity to escape while the tiger was not looking.

The tiger looked up at me from time to time as he gulped, and roared in a low voice from time to time, as if to show off his might, and he didn't take me seriously at all, and it seemed that this guy was going to attack me when he was full.

I didn't move, for fear that if I moved, the tiger would be caught.

I stabilized my emotions, told myself not to panic, and warned myself that it was not the time for a sad little dew in front of me, I controlled my frantic heartbeat, took a few deep breaths, and then breathed into the dantian, forming a flow of air in my body, letting this air flow through my whole body, so that my hands and feet were full of strength.

I stared intently at this abominable creature, and at the moment when it was burying its head and gnawing, I slammed into it, quickly turned and ran away.

As soon as the tiger saw me running away, he immediately put down the food in his mouth, roared vigorously, and chased after me.

My heart was beating so hard that the tiger was chasing me behind my ass and barking, as if there was an invisible oppressive force that enveloped all the space between me and the tiger, and I felt great fear.

The mountain road was slippery, and I was afraid that the soles of my feet would be bitten by the tiger, so I tried my best to run towards the cracks in the trees or the more complicated places, and the tigers chased me lifelessly, and it seemed that this guy would not stop chasing me.

I thought about it, and if I continue like this, it won't be long before I run out of strength, and I will definitely become food for the tiger, and I should do this?

I gradually felt my steps become heavier, my mouth was panting, and the tiger was still roaring behind me, and it was over!

I kept running, and there was a gentle area in front of me, and there was not a single tree on the bare rocks, and I thought to myself that this was completely over, and it would be strange not to be chased on such a surface, and I ran forward desperately, as long as there was still a way to run, and I hoped that a miracle would happen.

After running about 20 meters, the scene in front of me made my heart cold to the bottom.

There was a canyon 5 meters in front of me, I looked at the opposite side of the canyon, and the preliminary estimate was that it was at least 10 meters away, the canyon was very long, if I turned to run along the edge of the canyon, it was only a matter of time before I was caught up according to my physical strength, what should I do?

If only I could jump to the other side, but I definitely couldn't jump over, and in this case I suddenly thought of many scenes from movies, where many characters must jump down to such a place, and there must be a river or a place with water below, and the result is that the one who jumps will definitely not die, and thinking of this, I ran to the edge of the canyon and looked down.

The deep canyon is bottomless, I feel that there is definitely no water down here, I turned to look at the tiger behind me, the tiger is only seven to eight meters away from me, the guy saw me stop at the edge of the canyon, and then he also stopped, and then raised his head and roared loudly, as if to show off a domineering in front of me, a domineering spirit of the king of beasts in the forest.

I felt very desperate, and a lot of pictures instantly appeared in my mind, parents, grandmother, grandfather, little uncle, Doudou, Xiaolu, Li Yuting, Uncle Cheng, etc., very messy, even breathing was not smooth, my chest seemed to be pressed by a huge stone, cold sweat seeped out from every pore of my body, I didn't expect that I would die in the mouth of a tiger, I'm still young, I haven't enjoyed a lot, I...

The tiger in front of me suddenly lowered its head to the ground, looked at me viciously with its eyes, crouched back slightly, and then roared violently and pounced on me.

Death is death! No matter how you die, you can't die in the mouth of a tiger.

Having made up my mind, I jumped off the edge of the cliff in despair.
