Chapter 52 Unsolved Problems
After several experiences, everyone tied the roosters with ropes to let them scream. Wu Song and others hid in the grass and watched around, and the strong bow was quietly prepared. The main thing was to take a chance. The vast mountains and tigers had a large range of movement, and it was fate that they encountered it.
Not long after, a tiger slowly came over. The tiger stopped at two or three hundred meters away. Obviously, it felt dangerous. Wu Song and others were not professional in hiding it, and it was difficult to escape the tiger's nose.
Li Kui said: "There is no such trouble? Isn't it just a big cat? I'll fight it."
"Then be careful, we will support you later." Wu Song said.
Li Kui went out, shook his big axe and said, "Big Cat, what are you doing there? Come and eat grandpa's axe."
Although the language was not clear, the tiger saw contempt in the eyes of this big black man. The majesty of the king of beasts was not to be violated. He immediately roared and rushed over at a speed of 100 meters and five seconds.
Within seventy or eighty meters, Wu Song's wolf-toothed arrow was shot out. The hard bow given by County Magistrate Su was strong, and it hit the tiger's chest like a meteor, with more than half a foot of flesh. As we all know, the cat's sharp teeth and claws have very strong attack power, but at the same time, the cat's animals do not have thick flesh and fat, which is not as good as wild boars, so the tiger was injured very heavily. The tiger was not a wild boar, and the wild boar would definitely rush harder when injured. The tiger turned around and wanted to escape.
Li Kui rushed up, not much slower than Liu Xiang, and cursed: "I want you to peel off your skin and cramps to make clothes to avenge the dead."
The tiger was injured and could not run fast, and was caught up by Li Kui, and his big axe shone on his spine. The spine animal leaned on a big dragon on the spine. The spine was paralyzed immediately as soon as the spine was finished.
When Wu Song, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Dadan and others came over, the tiger had already fallen to the ground and could not move.
Wu Song asked: "Brother Tieniu, aren't you hurt?"
"No, no, this big cat ran away when he saw that I looked scary, but I was killed by an axe." Tie Niu said.
Zhang Dadan stared at Li Kui's black face and looked around, saying, "I haven't seen you for a year, I look at you differently. You can shout slogans when you hit a tiger, and you still avenge the people. Are you Li Kui so kind?"
Li Kui said: "This is learned from Brother Wu Song. Not only do you have to be able to fight, but you also have to be able to speak."
"Okay, I, Zhang, will convince you and learn from you in the future." Zhang Dabang said.
Li Kui said, "Don't support me, just support the road. If you are drunk, the road ahead is moving."
These two live treasures were pinched as soon as they met.
"You two have something to go out to chat. Are you stupid to chat here? If you rush out, you have to feed the tiger. You can quickly hand over the office to the county and leave with the money." Wu Song said.
Li Kui and Zhang Dadao carried the tiger, and the group came out happily. The county magistrate was very happy and rewarded 100 taels of silver. Although it was a little less, the small county of Yishui has a small population and a mountainous area. It cannot compare to Qinghe or Yanggu.
Wu Song said: "The mountains are high and dense, and it is impossible to have only one tiger. It is better to tell the people not to enter the mountains, so that the tiger can avoid eating people."
The county magistrate said: "Wu Dutou is right, but it's difficult. How can the people chop wood and hunt if they don't go into the mountains? How can they supplement their household income if they don't chop wood and hunt if they don't. They will be eaten by tigers when they chop wood and hunt, which is an unsolvable problem."
Wu Song had no choice, it was not his turn to take care of Yishui County.
Wu Song gave in a moment and accepted the reward of 100 taels of silver from the county. After all, this was the money that the brothers worked hard.
The tiger was transported back to Zhang Dadan's house and cleaned up in two ways. The tiger skin, tiger whip, and tiger bones were all in a big cart. The tiger meat was more than 200 kilograms, divided into three parts, one part to the county magistrate, one part to Li Da, and one part to Zhang Dadan's house. Some people say that tiger people ate it, and that tiger meat was not disgusting. This was during the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not uncommon to eat human flesh, let alone tiger meat?
But Zhang Dabang was so happy that he was worried about the New Year. Now, Wu Song had distributed some money and tiger meat, so he would not have to worry about the New Year.
But soon, Wu Song was going back, and Zhang Dadan was afraid of losing the opportunity to come with the team. Originally, Wu Song wanted Li Kui to spend the New Year with my mother at home, but unexpectedly, Li Kui's mother disagreed with anything, and would definitely delay Li Kui's work without being young. Li Kui had no choice but to keep more than a dozen taels of silver, arranged for the elder brother to show my mother's eyes, then bid farewell to her mother, and returned with the team.
When I returned to Qinghe County, it was already the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year was about to come. Wu Song said to him: "Just leave one-third of the people on duty in the car shop. It's okay if I keep my eyes on you. You can go back and rest for a few days before coming back."
Ruan Xiaoqi said, "No, my mother has a second and a fifth brother to accompany her to celebrate the New Year. In the past, she always thought that I was the best in the world. When I went out to walk, I found that the world was very big. I wanted to learn skills from my brother. When I had the opportunity, I went to see what my brother said about the sea."
Wu Song said: "Since you don't go back, then stay at the Wujiazhuang headquarters. I'll take people to Yanggu."
Ruan Xiaoqi was very happy. This time I went to Yishui County to ride a horse, so I had enough riding, and my thighs were red and swollen.
Wu Song, Luo Ping, Li Kui, Zhang Dadan, Mao Hai, and fifty guards with exquisite carriages set off in mule carriages at noon and arrived in Yanggu County in the evening.
Although it was already spring, it was still cold in the morning. The Dashahe morning market in the east gate of Yanggu County was very popular. This is the largest morning market in the eastern part of Yanggu County. The market is on a river beach full of willow trees, covering an area of 200 acres. At most, there were more than 2,000 stalls for trading. However, now the market is in a depressed state, there are only a thousand stalls. Wang Damao is a commoner in his nearby village. He is a thirty-something man. He has old men and young people at home. After renting the land, he has rented the land after paying the rent.
I don’t have much money to spend. I can still make money by being a bricklayer on weekdays. I’m not busy with work in the fields during this period, and my tiles have stopped working. I have to go to the mountains to chop firewood every day, get up early and carry it to Dashahe morning market to exchange for money. Yesterday, Wang Damao was lucky not only cut more than 200 kilograms of firewood easily, but also got a big fat rabbit weighing seven or eight kilograms. Originally, I wanted to stew meat for the children, but the baby said that Wang Damao would sell it and buy some fabric for the children to make a new dress.
Shortly after he put down his burden, five people were sweating. One by one, they had fat heads and big ears. The leader was fat heads and brains, nicknamed Fat Tiger, and was known as Huye. Wang Damao knew that this was the manager of Dashahe Market. It turned out that each stall in this market was only a stall fee of two cents, which was basically just a cleaning fee. However, after taking over the market, Huye increased the stall fee of six cents. If he dared not pay the fee, he would confiscate the goods at the least, and beat people at the worst.
"Tiger, it's early." Wang Damao didn't want to cause trouble. These two bundles of firewood, a fat rabbit, could be sold for more than 100 cents. Wang Damao took the six cents in his hand early. But who knew that even if he was so obedient, he would still cause trouble.
