Ye Shengsheng and Ye Che didn't dare to sleep all night.
Can't sleep either.
Ye Che spent the whole night in pain. Only his daughter's safety and the presence of the sound kept him awake.
It wasn't until daybreak that they squinted at each other tenderly for a moment.
It was during this moment that they smelled an unusual smell.
Ye Che was the first to open his eyes.
At this moment, the sky was already gray and filled with light.
When he saw a spotted tiger about one meter tall, staring at them eagerly, just two meters away from them, Ye Che was so shocked that his mind went blank.
Even the pain has been relieved.
He hurriedly raised his hand to push the sound beside him and whispered:
"Sound, wake up."
Ye Shengsheng woke up suddenly, fearing that Ye Che might have something, so she hurriedly looked at him.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Ye Che motioned forward, "Look."
Ye Shengsheng looked over in a blink of an eye.
Standing in front of them was a large tiger that was preparing to pounce towards them. She was stunned for a while and didn't react for a long time.
She even suspected that she was hallucinating.
It must be an illusion.
How come there are tigers in this mountain?
No, don’t tigers inhabit virgin forests like this?
Realizing that it was true, Ye Shengsheng was frightened.
Ye Che sat there and didn't dare to move, enduring the pain and telling her.
"Slowly move away from me, I'm blocking you."
"don't want."
Ye Shengsheng subconsciously refused.
They didn't expect that they were so unlucky that they would encounter such a big tiger.
She and Ye Che are both in a weak state now. Ye Che's pain has not been relieved and he has not slept all night. It is impossible for him to have the strength to fight this big tiger.
If she leaves first, Ye Che will definitely die.
Thinking of this, Ye Shengsheng moved closer to Ye Che and raised his hand to hug his arm, his voice trembling.
"Ye Che, I'm not afraid, are you?"
In fact, she was scared to death.
After living for almost 27 years, she encountered a wild tiger standing in front of her for the first time, staring at her with eager eyes.
It was as if she and Ye Che could be eaten for breakfast in the next second.
Maybe it was because he was really scared, Ye Shengsheng's whole body was trembling and he was breaking out in cold sweat.
How could Ye Che not see it? He was so frightened.
But this was also the first time he encountered such a situation. Even if an adult wild tiger was healthy, he might not be able to fight it.
What's more, he is still so weak now, and the headache makes him unable to exert any strength.
He knew very well that he could not defeat this tiger.
So he urged again:
"Listen to my words and slowly leave from behind me."
"I don't."
Ye Shengsheng still refused and his face turned pale.
"What will you do if I leave? It will pounce on you and bite you to death."
"If you don't leave, we will both die."
Ye Che wrinkled his thin and haggard handsome face, endured a severe headache, and begged in a hoarse voice:
"I know you listen to me the most. If you go first, maybe you can meet that kid halfway and he will take you to see Yun Bo.
When the time comes, he will follow you down to save me. Anyway, Yun Bo is so powerful, even if I am injured, he will save me."
"Be obedient and leave quickly."
Seeing that the tiger didn't have the intention to pounce for a moment, Ye Che pushed it away and left.
Ye Shengsheng still didn't want to leave.
She rushed to Ye Che and blocked the tiger for him, crying:
"Ye Che, I will not leave you alone. I left you once before and made your life worse than death in those few years. Do you know that I regret it very much?"
"You are willing to face danger for me, how can I bear to abandon you? I don't want to leave you."
She raised her arms and hugged him, unable to hold back her sobs.
Ye Che paused.
The insistence of the voice made him realize a certain idea in his mind.
No matter what happens in this life, don't push the sound away.
But……
If they don't push her away now, both of them will die.
In addition, he had a really severe headache, and he was afraid that he would lose his mind and not be able to care about the sound.
so……
After thinking about this, Ye Che suddenly pushed the sound away, got up and ran to the other side.
He wants to lure the tiger away.
When the tiger saw Ye Che running away, he immediately hissed his teeth, made a very ferocious expression, and with a cat-like movement, he pounced directly on Ye Che.
"don't want……"
Ye Shengsheng screamed, his pupils shaking.
The next second she watched helplessly as the tiger pounced on Ye Che, sat on him and bit him.
"don't want."
After reacting, Ye Shengsheng grabbed the wooden stick next to him and hit the tiger.
Hitting a tiger on the back with a wooden stick is like tickling it.
What's more, Ye Shengsheng was also very weak and had no strength at all.
But the tiger still felt that he was being attacked.
It stepped on Ye Che with its paws and turned back to growl at Ye Che.
"Ouch~~~"
Ye Shengsheng was so frightened by its ferocious appearance that he fell to the ground.
She felt that the tiger would immediately turn sideways and pounce on her to bite her.
But no.
Because of Ye Che's counterattack, the tiger stepped on him and opened its bloody mouth.
Ye Che had no strength at all, and it was difficult for him to raise his eyelids because of his headache. How could he have the ability to fight an adult tiger?
He couldn't even resist the tiger's paw stepping on his chest.
Knowing that he would definitely be killed by this tiger, Ye Che used all his strength to maintain the last bit of consciousness and shouted to the voice:
"Shengsheng, hurry up and call Yun Bo to come."
Ye Che knew he wouldn't survive.
I just wanted to make some noise.
How could Ye Shengsheng not know that if she turned around and left, Ye Che would probably be eaten by a tiger until no bones were left before she even saw Yun Bo.
She was unwilling to leave Ye Che alone.
She rushed towards him and knelt down next to Ye Che. Seeing that the tiger was still stepping on him, she didn't know where she got the courage and raised her hand to break off the tiger's claws.
Unexpectedly, the tiger shook his head arrogantly and pushed Ye Shengsheng away.
"Sound..."
Ye Che looked at the sound rolling aside and shouted, "Leave me alone and leave quickly."
He struggled to grab the tiger's foot and tried to kick it away.
But no.
The tiger is very strong, and it would be impossible to use any strength to step on it.
Seeing that Ye Che was in pain, Ye Shengsheng stood up, picked up the stone next to him, and threw it at the tiger regardless of his injured arm.
Unexpectedly, a childish shout suddenly came from not far away.
"Stop, don't hurt my rhubarb."
Hearing the sound, Ye turned his head.
When she saw a little girl not far away who was wearing a Taoist robe and had a bun on her head, glaring at her with a fierce look on her face, she was dumbfounded.
The stone in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Little Yuzu..."
Ye Shengsheng murmured.
His whole body was stiff, and he just stared at the little girl in a daze.
No, she is not a little Youzi, not Yun Bo's daughter Yun Xiyou, but her Lian Lian.
It's her and Ye Che's daughter, Ye Huailian.
Ye Shengsheng burst into tears and looked at her in shock.
Ye Che could no longer control his headache.
Maybe because the tiger stepped on him, he couldn't read the talisman paper with his daughter written on it, so he lost consciousness for a while and fainted at the tiger's feet.
Seeing that Dahuang had gone too far, Xiao Wangyou scolded:
"I asked you to scare people who came up the mountain, but why did you stomp them unconscious?"
When Dahuang heard her little master scolding her, she immediately walked towards her docilely, buried her big head and rubbed against the child to show that she knew she was wrong.
Xiao Wangyou pushed it away angrily, ran over and squatted beside Ye Che, raised her hand to test his breath.
After confirming that the person was not dead, she looked at Ye Shengsheng again and said with an apologetic look:
"Auntie, I'm sorry, my rhubarb scared you, but this is what everyone has to experience when going up the mountain, so please don't blame me."
Ye Shengsheng came back to her senses, choked with sobs and was about to open her mouth to call Lian Lian, when she suddenly remembered what the little boy told her a moment ago.
He said, don't recognize your daughter.
Ye Shengsheng hurriedly calmed down his excitement and squatted in front of his daughter, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I don't blame you. Auntie doesn't blame you."
She raised her hand and gently caressed her daughter's round little face, crying so hard that her heart felt like a knife.
Xiao Wangyou looked at the crying aunt in front of him, thinking that maybe she was frightened by her rhubarb, which made her cry like this.
She immediately felt guilty and looked at Dahuang Xun who was not far away and said:
"It's all your fault for scaring others like this."
Da Huang was so aggrieved that he lay on the ground groaning and covering his eyes with his front paws, acknowledging his mistake.
Xiao Wangyou couldn't bear her aunt's cry, so she raised her little hand to wipe away her tears and said:
"Auntie is fine. Don't be afraid. I will take you up the mountain."
Ye Shengsheng looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, and when she was about to hug her into her arms, she suddenly reacted when she heard what she said.
Next second!
She hurriedly got up and rushed to Ye Che who fainted, picked him up and shouted: "Ye Che, Ye Che, wake up."
Ye Che lay in Shengsheng's arms without any movement.
Ye Shengsheng thought he was going to die and couldn't help crying.
"Ye Che, Ye Che, nothing can happen to you. Wake up and look who is coming. She has come to pick us up. Open your eyes and look at her, Ye Che..."
No matter how she shouted, the man in her arms still didn't respond at all.
Ye Shengsheng was anxious and at a loss as to what to do.
Xiao Wangyou arrived next to him and said calmly:
"Don't worry, Auntie, he just fainted."
As he said that, the little guy looked around for the weeds on the ground.
Then he pulled out a plant from the weeds, put it in the tiger's mouth and chewed it until it became sticky. After the tiger spit it out, he put it next to Ye Che's breath.
Ye Shengsheng looked at his daughter's behavior in shock and was very surprised.
"What are you..."
Xiao Wangyou smiled and said: "This is a medicine that can refresh your mind. If you don't believe it, you can smell it. It smells very strong."
Ye Shengsheng heard it, and she looked down at the man in her arms.
Within half a minute, Ye Che's eyelids actually started to move.
After a while, he opened his eyes.
Ye Shengsheng was very excited, "Ye Che, Ye Che, you're awake. Look at her. She's fine. She's fine in front of us now."
Ye Che, who opened his eyes, was still lying in Shengsheng's arms.
His head still hurt, but his consciousness was clear.
And he also saw a round and delicate little face.
Although this little face is not what his daughter originally looked like, but...
She is really my daughter.
She was the daughter that Yun Bo brought to them but didn't let her recognize them.
Slowly sitting up, Ye Che looked at his daughter with red eyes and raised his hand to hug her.
Xiao Wangyou avoided his move, frowned and blinked his big eyes and asked curiously:
"Uncle and aunt, have you seen me before? Why do you say I'm fine in front of you?"
This pair of uncle and aunt is really strange.
Why do I cry when I see her?
You want her to be responsible!
After all, it was her rhubarb that scared people like this.
Seeing his daughter's resistance and questioning, Ye Che came back to his senses and clearly remembered what the little boy had told them before.
They cannot recognize their daughter.
But……
He really wanted to hug her.
Ye Che couldn't hold it back, tears moistened his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"We haven't seen you before, we just think...you look like...a person."
Xiao Wangyou asked, "Who do I look like?"
Ye Shengsheng and Ye Che looked at each other and responded in unison:
"Like a little child star on TV."
Xiao Wangyou smiled, "Really? But I'm much better than the people on TV."
She was still a little proud, turned around and walked towards Dahuang, climbed directly onto Dahuang's back and rode on her, and asked arrogantly:
"Can people on TV dare to ride on the back of a tiger like me?"
Ye Shengsheng looked at the tiger with horror.
She really couldn't believe her eyes.
Her daughter was actually riding on the back of a tiger. A moment ago, the tiger was so ferocious that it wanted to eat her and Ye Che, but now it was as docile as a kitten.
Ye Che also discovered something.
There were no wounds on his body.
So the tiger just held him down and had no intention of hurting him.
Especially now that he saw his daughter riding on the tiger easily, he was even more convinced that the tiger had no ill intentions toward them.
"Did you tame this tiger?" Ye Che asked.
Xiao Wangyou shook his head, "Of course not. It was so big when I came here. It was a gift from Master. It will obey my words from now on."
Seeing that his uncle looked very bad, Xiao Wangyou jumped off the tiger's back again, walked to Ye Che and stood in front of him, raising his head and looking at him to signal.
"Uncle, please bend down."
Ye Che hurriedly knelt down and brought his face close to his daughter.
Xiao Wangyou touched his forehead and asked softly, "Uncle, do you have a headache?"
Ye Che was shocked, could his daughter see this?
He nodded, "It hurts."
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Xiao Wangyou waved his hand and quickly took out a sachet from his treasure bag and handed it to Ye Che.
"Give it to you so that it won't hurt if you wear it around your neck."
The sachet contains the talisman of consecrating her blood, as well as some fine medicinal powders, specially designed to treat headaches.
Ye Che took it and was a little happy.
He was busy wearing it around his neck in front of the child.
Ye Shengsheng also squatted next to his daughter and looked at her with relief.
I really didn't expect my daughter to be so capable.
It seems that Yunbo taught her well.
As long as she is good, they are willing to stay away from her for more than ten years.
"Uncle and aunt, you haven't eaten yet, right? Eat quickly. After you eat, I will take you up the mountain to meet my master."
Seeing a backpack next to her with food she had never eaten, Xiao Wangyou licked her mouth and reminded her.
