Zhou Zun's trembling voice shocked the faces of several people present.
Xu Mu took out his whistle stick from the side and ran forward a few steps in panic. The scene in front of him made him speechless for a moment.
A huge tiger with yellow spots and eye-catching eyes, majestic, is clawing downwards with its huge sharp claws, constantly cutting out bursts of blood drops.
Zhou Zun was worthy of being a hero, and the simple knife in his hand was firmly guarded in front of his head, but even so, the area on his chest had been cut to pieces with bloody flesh.
"My boss...save me." Zhou Zun spat out, and Bo Bo coughed out blood from his mouth.
"Help!" Xu Mu did not dare to delay any longer. After shouting, he and Si Hu and Zhou Luo rushed forward.
The servant girl's wife, Jiang Caiwei, also held an old hatchet and was sweating profusely, following Xu Mu nervously.
Roar--
Just as Xu Mu struck out the whistle stick, the giant tiger hissed angrily and snapped the whistle stick in an instant.
Zhou Luo's eyes turned red, he raised his iron bow and shot.
The iron arrows penetrated the tiger's skin, causing the giant tiger to become even more violent. After roaring a few more times at the surroundings, it crazily arched its head downwards.
Zhou Zun's voice screamed in pain, becoming increasingly hoarse and laborious.
"Si Hu!"
Si Hu angrily raised his knife, rushed behind the giant tiger in a few steps, and in the blink of an eye, he chopped three times in a row, as if he had chopped into the tiger's bones, sending sparks flying in the darkness.
This time, the giant tiger was really angry, and abandoned the dying Zhou Zun. The tiger's tail swiped hard, making Si Hu stagger, then turned around and instantly threw Si Hu to the ground.
Xu Mu was so jealous that he picked up Zhou Zun's simple knife from the ground and stabbed it towards the giant tiger.
The knife had only penetrated half of the way, and the tiger's tail swept up again, knocking Xu Mu ten steps away.
"Xu Lang!" Jiang Caiwei screamed in shock, holding the hatchet in her trembling hands and standing on two trembling legs in front of Xu Mu who fell to the ground.
"Quick, Zhou Luo, help Zhou Zun away." Xu Mu covered his chest and coughed several times.
The giant tiger seemed to hate Si Hu to the core and did not change its target. At this moment, two huge tiger claws were about to slice Si Hu's chest.
"Si Hu——"
"Roar!"
Sihu, who was on the ground, rolled his throat twice and actually made a sound similar to a tiger's roar. His face turned red instantly, he raised his two thick arms and tightly held the two front paws of the giant tiger.
In the past, Xu Mu didn't know how strong Si Hu was. According to the original owner's recollection, once when collecting human life for rent, in order to prevent a debtor gambler from escaping on an ox, he actually dragged the ox's tail backwards with both hands and pulled the half-ton weight.
Scalper, suddenly collapsed.
Ignoring the pain in his body, Xu Mu stood up in surprise and looked at a figure slowly straightening up in the rain curtain ahead.
Jiang Caiwei blinked in shock.
Even Zhou Luo, who was supporting Zhou Zun, was so shocked that he could not speak for a moment.
"Here comes the warrior! Guard all directions!" Xu Mu shouted angrily with a trembling voice.
"Hug the tiger!"
Si Hu also raised his head, his face turned redder and redder, and his iron-arm-like hands suddenly shrank quickly and clamped tightly on the giant tiger's body.
Ho ho ho!
The giant tiger roared one after another, but it couldn't struggle. The two tiger claws were also tightly bound.
Putting Zhou Zun aside, Zhou Luo roared loudly, picked up the knife, rushed close to it several times, and stabbed it into the belly of the giant tiger.
Xu Mu also hurriedly stood up, picked up half of the whistle stick, and smashed it towards the tiger's head crazily.
I don’t know how long.
It was not until the blood on the muddy ground was gradually washed away that Si Hu shook his arms and slowly let go.
Zhou Luo collapsed to the ground with difficulty, holding Pu Dao in his arms, still trembling uncontrollably. Zhou Zun, who was dying on the ground, also opened his eyes, showing a happy expression.
Xu Mu threw away half of his whistle stick and took a hard breath. Looking sideways, he found Jiang Caiwei still holding the hatchet tightly and standing nervously next to him.
"Dead." Xu Mu smiled softly.
Didn't he know that Jiang Caiwei stayed with him because she was afraid that something would happen to him, but what could a weak woman do with a broken hatchet?
With red eyes, Jiang Caiwei hurriedly ran back to the carriage, dug out the golden sore medicine, and began to apply it one by one.
"Si Hu, you... are so damn strong." Xu Mu's voice was excited. He made the right choice and didn't abandon Si Hu. This was a big bet.
"Mu, Brother Mu, I'm hungry." Si Hu spread out in a big letter shape and slept on the dirt floor, regaining his voice.
"Haha, okay! I will bake pancakes for you myself later."
"Zhou Luo, is your cousin okay?"
"Don't worry, boss, everything has been checked. Fortunately, Brother Tiger took action early. They are all external injuries."
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and curiously walked towards the tiger corpse on the ground.
The tiger corpse was not much different. What was horrifying was that the upper body of the tiger corpse was almost concave due to Si Hu's hoops, and even the tiger eyes were horribly bulging.
"Zhou Luo, let me carry the tiger corpse into the car."
Xu Mu thought, for such a big tiger, the tiger carcass could be sold for some money.
After releasing the tiger corpse, Zhou Luo followed Xu Mu's instructions, picked up a lantern, and quickly moved forward to find the shoal.
After about an hour, Zhou Luo walked back in surprise.
"My boss, there is a beach, but the water is still a bit deep."
"I can't care less."
Xu Mu did not dare to delay any longer. Even if the bleeding was stopped, Zhou Zun's injury could not be delayed. Besides, if another fearful tiger appeared, he might really be waiting to die.
After some urging, the three carriages waded across the creek and rushed to Hezhou overnight.
…
"This is, is this a big insect?"
"You guys are really good guys."
At dawn, as soon as Xu Mu and his party entered the Hezhou City Gate, the yellow-spotted giant tiger tied to the carriage aroused exclamations of surprise.
"It's ridiculous, it's just a picked-up tiger carcass." Xu Mu frowned slightly. In these days, it is always right to keep a low profile.
Moreover, Xu Mu is still a little selfish. What if someone finds out that Si Hu was the one who killed him and tries to win him over?
Although he and Si Hu have a certain friendship, it is better to avoid these things as much as possible.
Pulling the tiger corpse to the butcher shop, even Xu Mu did not expect that it was sold for nearly one hundred taels of silver. Si Hu was so happy that he almost screamed.
"Zhou Luo, go grab some medicine. Remember to grab a few more." In the inn, Xu Mu let out a long sigh of relief as he watched Zhou Zun turn the corner.
"Boss, I missed my job... I won't get paid this month." Zhou Zun's face turned gloomy.
In fact, he was afraid that Xu Mu would drive him away. After all, the wound opened by the tiger would require at least half a month of rest.
It's always like this these days. The bosses don't care for useless people.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Mu smiled and said, "You are resting and recuperating. How about this month's salary..."
Zhou Zun's face became nervous.
"If you sell the tiger carcass, I will give you ten taels. I will add another one tael this month for a total of thirteen taels. Let your mother-in-law make you some delicious food."
Zhou Zun raised his head and his eyes suddenly burst into tears.
