Chapter 21 Fighting the Man-Eating Tiger Part 1
Hu Sanniang wanted to stay and learn martial arts from Wu Song, but Wu Song was in a dilemma. Hu Sanniang was different from these wild boys. She could not beat or scold her. She was also a daughter-in-law, and her family was not easy to settle for her.
Hu Cheng also had concerns, it was not nice to say that his sister was learning skills here.
At this time, someone from the county yamen came and said he wanted to invite Wu Song to the yamen.
Wu Song did not dare to neglect, so he immediately rode on the BMW sent by Hu Sanniang and followed the yamen runners to the county yamen. The county magistrate Li was at the mansion, and the county magistrate Wu was there, and the horse stance was there.
County Magistrate Li looked worried and saw Wu Song saying, "Wu Baozheng, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again this time."
Wu Song said: "The two adults have something to do but it doesn't matter."
County Magistrate Li said: "It's not been a day or two for Yanggu County that has been in trouble. Their hunters are chasing each other. A fierce tiger ran to the black pine at the junction of Qingheyanggu County. He ate five people in a few days. Yesterday, I sent hunters and yamen runners to encircle and suppress the tiger. Not only did I not catch the tiger, but I injured several people, so I wanted to ask Wu Baozheng to help hunt this man-eating tiger.
Tigers were not protected animals during the Song Dynasty, not to mention that tigers that were used to eating people must be removed, otherwise they would suffer endless troubles. However, tigers were not wolves, nor were wild boars. They were cunning by nature and had great strength, so they were not so easy to deal with.
Wu Song said: "Although Wu Song killed the wolf, he was not sure of winning against the tiger."
County Magistrate Li smiled and said, "I heard that Wu Bao was about to drive a car and needed a storefront. There are three floors in the county in the bustling county, which can be rented to you. You know, the rent of a house in the county is much cheaper than renting a private one."
"Wu Song also wants to build a cafe in an open space outside the city without a master, and ask the county magistrate for permission." Wu Song arrived.
Lord Li said: "You can find a suitable land for building a wasteland without a home, but the fee you should pay cannot be less."
"A tiger eats people and harms people, eliminates harm for the people, and shares the worries of the county magistrate. Wu Song has no choice but to catch this tiger?" Wu Song said wisely.
County Magistrate Li said: "Of course, the faster the better. Now more than a dozen hunters are watching the outside world. If they are afraid that they will run into the village after a long time, it will be a big trouble."
Wu Song said: "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare and go there right away."
Wu Song refused the banquet from the county magistrate and immediately returned to the village. Hu Cheng asked, "What's the matter with me when I go to the county government?"
Wu Song said: "There is a tiger in the black pine forest that is a disaster. The county magistrate ordered me to eradicate this beast."
Hu Sanniang shouted, "What, I'm going to fight the tiger, I'm going to follow."
Hu Chuang disagreed, but he couldn't resist his sister's soft and hard beating.
Wu Song assembled the team, and the fourteen people brought hunting forks, tiger beats, hunting knives, big nets, and other tools.
Others don’t know how to ride horses, so they set up two carriages to drive to the Hei Songlin in a hurry. Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang followed him with a dozen followers to watch the fun. Qinghe is a small county, and they rushed to the Hei Songlin in thirty miles north.
More than a dozen hunters were guarding the other side with a bitter face. When they saw Wu Song coming, they knelt down one by one and said, "Erlang is here. If you don't come again, we will be beaten to death by the yamen. The county magistrate will catch a pheasant and rabbit. We are fine if we catch a tiger and go to deliver vegetables."
These hunters are really in trouble. Two died yesterday, and the others have to continue to guard.
Wu Song said: "I am ordered to come here to catch the tiger. You can send a familiar tiger-like hunter here."
"The villain Zhang Ergou is the leader of these hunters." A young man clasped his fists and said.
Wu Song saw that this man was over 1.7 meters tall, with a medium figure and a strong face, and the two big wolf-green preys around him were very energetic.
"Ergou, tell me where can I find this tiger? Can the trap work?"
Ergou said: "It's easy to find tigers. I can find them by just entering, but this tiger is too cruel. I ate two of the four hunting dogs. Traps and other things no longer work. We use live sheep as bait, and tigers are not fooled."
Wu Song said: "Okay, let the hound take me in."
Ergou said: "Okay."
When everyone saw Wu Song going forward alone, Wu Zhuang, Liu Daniu, Luo Ping and others knelt down and said, "Brother, please take us with you. Don't you often say that you are the brothers who are fighting tigers?"
Wu Song said: "Only Luo Ping has the energy to fight against the tiger among you, but he is not very flexible in his martial arts skills. Besides, the tiger sees that there are many people, so he will definitely not dare to come out. You can watch from afar and see that I have stopped the tiger and go to help."
Wu Song immediately sorted out his clothes, took the tiger slap from Luo Ping, and took Zhang Ergou into the black pine forest with great strides. Even during the day, the black pine forest was still gloomy, and the cold wind blew the woods.
The people behind were hundreds of meters away, and they followed each with swords and guns carefully.
After walking a few miles inside, the two big wolf-green hunting dogs became anxious, and Zhang Ergou quickly comforted the hunting dog.
"Erlang, the tiger should be right in front."
Wu Song said: "Ergou, take the hunting dog back, I will go there and meet it."
Zhang Ergou said: "This was originally an errand arranged by the county magistrate to be the hunter. Now that Erlang is only going to fight to the death, I will retreat, and there will be no face in the future. Erlang should not persuade him anymore. Even if he dies, I will fight with Erlang."
"Okay, take care of yourself and stay away from me when fighting, so as not to hurt you by chance." Wu Song said.
As he was talking, he heard the hunting dog barking and running around the ground.
At this time, I heard a long howl of the pine forest, and a tiger roar accompanied by a mountain wind. As the saying goes, clouds follow the dragon and wind follow the tiger, this is true.
Hu Cheng and others behind him were frightened and sweated when they heard the tiger roar. They felt their hearts tremble, and their swords were tighter.
Wu Song's hair was standing up at this time, and he had never felt a sense of crisis before. The five senses were maximized. The power of the tiger was not a joke. Even if Xiang Yu was reborn, the overlord should be treated carefully again.
A tiger walked slowly over a hundred meters away. This guy could have a big head, a tail over one meter long, and was full of tiger tattoos without anger. The tiger opened his mouth towards Wu Song and licked his tongue, meaning: "This kid is quite fat, good, crispy, chicken-flavored."
After experiencing the initial shock, Wu Song felt relieved, and inserted the tiger's lash on the ground, bent his bow and arrow, and the wolf-tooth arrow arrow went like a meteor, swishing, and then three arrows flew out. Don't underestimate Wu Song's archery skills are not sharpshooters, but at least they are qualified archers. However, the tiger's body technique is flexible, and only one arrow hits the tiger's back. The hunting bow is not effective and has limited power. When Wu Song wants to shoot archery again, the tiger has already rushed to within a hundred meters. For a tiger, the speed of no more than five seconds within a hundred meters is about to come.
