262, temporary alliance

Monk Wei is a man, not a god. Of course, he cannot come up with a feasible countermeasure in a hurry. He can only tell the truth: "There is definitely a way, but it takes time to think it through and make it foolproof."

Kojiro curled his lips in disdain and said: "It sounds like you are confident. I thought you had all the abilities? It turns out that it was just casual talk, and there is no feasible solution at all!"

Monk Wei did not answer his words, returned to sit down by the fire, and said angrily: "Xiaojiro, you have to remember that we are hostile. Before today... no, no, just now, you were still

Trying to sneak attack me. So, I don’t owe you anything. If you maintain this attitude, then we will break up. At worst, we will try our luck to see whether the tiger will eat you first or me first!"

After being choked by Monk Wei, Kojiro immediately became more honest. In the final analysis, he would rather die in Monk Wei's hands than die in the tiger's mouth.

Kojiro didn't say anything more and sat down next to Monk Wei.

The two are only about one meter apart.

But at this moment, no one has the previous idea of ​​being irreconcilable and having to put the other party to death.

This is not only due to the threat of powerful enemies, but also because the two of them are far away from the battlefield and lack the atmosphere of a life-or-death fight.

But the most critical reason is that after a month or so of fighting, the two of them felt that the other was a respectable opponent, which is the so-called hero's heart.

Monk Wei calmed down and thought seriously for a moment, then said: "The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. Apart from this tiger, there are no other wild beasts. Now neither of us has guns and ammunition. We want to survive with only sticks and stones."

Dealing with these big guys is just a dream."

After a pause, Monk Wei continued: "I have an idea. How about we build a simple raft, and then we can take the boat down the river and leave this deep mountain forest."

Kojiro's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he said slumped:

"It's good to take the water route, but we don't have knives or axes at hand. How can we collect the wood needed to build a raft?"

"To say the least, even if we have an axe, how can we dare to go into the forest and cut down trees, knowing that tigers are wandering around?"

I have to say that Kojiro's worries are not unreasonable.

Moreover, being able to think of these two problems in the blink of an eye shows that he can keep his mind running fast even when he is flustered.

This alone is not something ordinary people can do.

Regarding Kojiro's concerns, Monk Wei had his own plan:

"Look over there, there is a small forest less than a hundred meters away from the river beach. I had already noticed in the afternoon that the trees there are not big. Although they are not the best material for rafting, they are still enough.

Just make do with it."

"I practice external kung fu, and I still have a certain degree of confidence in the strength of my fists and kicks. I won't go into too much nonsense. If I were asked to break a dozen small trees as thick as the mouth of a bowl in one go, I would still have this confidence.

."

"A dozen tree trunks and some collected vines are enough to build a raft that can carry the weight of the two of us."

"The only problem is that when doing these things, I need a certain amount of time and a safe enough environment."

Having said this, Monk Wei's eyes fell on Kojiro.

Kojiro suddenly had an ominous premonition, frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Monk Wei said straight to the point: "Tomorrow morning, I will get the trees and vines as quickly as possible. The prerequisite is that before I do the work, someone needs to attract the tiger hiding in the dark to somewhere else."

Kojiro stared at Monk Wei with a bewildered look: "You wouldn't say that I am the person you need, right?"

Monk Wei showed his signature honest smile: "Do you think there is a third party here?"

"idiot!"

Kojiro couldn't help but cursed: "I have long seen that you have no good intentions! You want me to lure the tiger away so that you can escape from the shell, right? Let me think about it, if the tiger bites me to death, you can also borrow a knife to kill someone.

.To be able to come up with such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, you must be too cruel!"

Faced with Kojiro's fierce reaction, Monk Wei was stunned for a moment and asked: "Since you said that, how about I lure the tiger away and you take care of the rafting?"

"Well……"

Kojiro was immediately speechless.

All he practiced was judo, karate, kendo, and he still had a good idea of ​​whether he could break a tree with his bare hands.

Besides, even if the wood and vines were prepared for him, he wouldn't be able to build a raft at all -

As a dignified major officer of the Imperial Army and a top student who graduated from the Berlin Military Academy, has he ever done such a menial job?

As soon as Monk Wei saw Kojiro's expression, he knew what was going on: "You think this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but in fact it is completely false. Think about it carefully, there are mountains on all sides here, and you want to walk on two legs.

I'm afraid it will take two or three days to get out. Even if I use you to temporarily fend off the tiger, I won't be able to get past the fifteenth day of the first year of the new year. Sooner or later, the tiger will have to catch up. By then, I have been wandering around the mountains for a long time.

, I have been exhausted for a long time, isn’t it still difficult to escape the fate of being killed in the tiger’s mouth?”

After a slight pause, Monk Wei gave Kojiro time to understand and digest this sentence before continuing: "So, leaving by water is our only way to survive. Since this is the only way to go, I need to

You are my helper, and I don’t want to feed you to the tiger.”

Kojiro did not answer. He took a deep breath and thought calmly for a moment. He thought that what Monk Wei said was indeed reasonable. He said rather reluctantly: "Okay, just follow your plan. Do you want me to get more for you?"

How long?"

"At least half an hour."

Seeing Kojiro's hesitant expression, Monk Wei explained: "I need to collect a dozen trees and some vines to replace ropes, and transport them all back here. I estimate that no matter how hard I race against time, it will take half an hour.

It’s all quite annoying.”

When Kojiro thought about having to deal with the tiger for half an hour, his scalp went numb.

But this time he did not bargain with Monk Wei. After all, he could think with his toes that half an hour was indeed not enough.

Kojiro agreed to Monk Wei's plan: "Okay, I agree to your terms, and that's it."

Monk Wei added: "In this case, we might as well speak clearly. Before leaving here, we can put aside our personal grudges, temporarily form an alliance, and work together to escape."
