Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei was also a little surprised.
It doesn't seem to be raining, so why would a rainbow appear there? Why didn't I notice it before?
Then he slowly shook his head. He came a few times, but he was in such a hurry that he didn't pay attention, or maybe he didn't look in that direction at exactly this time and moment.
But how does a rainbow appear? The appearance of a rainbow indicates that there is a lot of moisture there. Chen Xiaobei secretly remembered that direction. If he has the opportunity, he must go and explore it. Man and nature must coexist harmoniously, and man must also explore some of the mysteries of nature.
.
The rainbow dissipates as quickly as it comes and disappears very quickly.
Everyone also got a short rest. When they saw the rainbow disappear, Chen Dayong continued to greet everyone forward.
By the time they arrived at the edge of the canyon, it was already dark.
Fortunately, it was completely dark. Everyone could only see the dark canyon and couldn't see the specific situation. Otherwise, many people might not be able to accept it and would be scared to death.
Everyone took off the chains, drank some water and took a rest, and then immediately started walking back. As they walked back home, everyone's mood became much higher, they were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was warm.
After all, in this way, they got fifty copper plates, and the two of them carried twenty-five, which could last for five days of hard work.
As I was walking back, suddenly a low roar came from my ears.
This sound was not a wolf's howl, it was deeper than a wolf's, and the sound traveled farther. Fortunately, it seemed to be still a long way away from them.
This voice still made Chen Xiaobei and Lidong wary.
When the two of them entered the mountain, although they each brought a crossbow, they only shot ten arrows, but there were a hundred people entering the mountain.
Moreover, most of the people did not bring torches. Only a few people brought torches. They only had five or six torches. They could not light them all at once, otherwise they would not be able to go down the mountain.
There was no other way but to speed up. Lidong was still very responsible. He asked Chen Xiaobei to hold the torch and lead the way, while he stayed at the end.
The low roar was getting closer and closer, and the villagers began to panic.
Chen Xiaobei calculated the distance and found that it would take another four or five miles to reach the steep slope that went straight up and down. He believed it would be safer once he got there.
After turning out of the last fork, you just have to follow the path to reach the steep slope. Chen Xiaobei handed the torch to Chen Dayong.
"You take everyone and run forward as quickly as possible. Brother Lidong and I stay behind."
Chen Dayong took the torch and rushed forward with all his strength. He led the way, and the speed of everyone's march naturally increased.
Seeing Lidong approaching, Chen Xiaobei lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Lidong, can you hear what the noise is?"
Lidong's face was solemn, "It sounds like a tiger to me, but it's strange. We have never seen a tiger in all our visits."
Chen Xiaobei was also frightened when he heard about the tiger.
Tigers are much harder to kill than wolves.
The most important thing is that tigers have rough skin and thick flesh. Even if you aim at the vital point, you may not be able to hit it thoroughly.
So you still have to run forward quickly.
Fortunately, everyone brought more ropes. When they arrived at the steep slope, the people who had gone up earlier hung a few ropes down. In this way, everyone climbed up with four or five ropes, which greatly improved the efficiency.
Chen Xiaobei and Lidong had just climbed halfway, when everyone on the steep slope started to scream. Two black figures appeared in the distance. Although the tiger's eyes were not as green as those of the wolf in the dark night, they could still see
It seems to be a bright spot.
Lidong and Chen Xiaobei sped up and finally climbed up the steep slope before the two tigers rushed over.
Looking at these two tigers, Chen Xiaobei and Lidong were a little hesitant.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, each knowing what the other was thinking.
That is, whether these two tigers should fight or not.
If we don't fight, who will dare to carry the iron chain tomorrow? If we fight, each person will only need ten arrows. If he can't be killed, it will be a big trouble.
Chen Dayong next to him said with lingering fear, "Well, luckily I ran fast. If it had been a little later, he would have been dragged into the den and eaten by the tiger. I'm afraid not even the bones would be left. If you want to find me, there will only be a few drops of blood left."
Already."
Chen Dayong's self-deprecating words made Chen Xiaobei's eyes light up.
Yes, even if I can't kill you, I can still find you by following the blood stains even if I hurt you.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei said to Lidong, "Brother Lidong, don't hit his vitals, spank his butt and belly, and then follow the blood trail and beat him to death."
Without saying a word, Lidong raised his crossbow and fired ten rounds at once.
Seeing Lidong pull the trigger, Chen Xiaobei also started beating him randomly.
This steep slope is three to four feet high, so the force will naturally be less if it is farther away.
But it was still possible to penetrate the tiger's skin. Although some of the arrows missed, at least seven or eight arrows hit the tiger.
The tiger howled in pain after being hit by the arrow, spun a few flowers around, and then fled into the darkness.
Seeing the tiger running away, everyone couldn't help but cheer. However, Chen Xiaobei and Lidong were not very excited and told everyone to hurry down the mountain.
Chen Xiaobei and Lidong discussed nervously while going down the mountain.
It was already midnight when everyone trekked back to the village with chains on their backs. It would be unrealistic to ask them to follow us into the mountains to hunt tigers right away.
However, if you delay for a long time, the tiger's blood will become difficult to find as it dries.
This is a dilemma.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaobei decided to ask Yang Zhi for help. He was fine and there was no weight-bearing today, so it was perfectly fine to go home and rest for an hour or two before going up the mountain.
After hearing his decision, Lidong shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Xiaobei, we are not that familiar with Yang Zhi and the others. What if we encounter a tiger and he runs away on his own."
Chen Xiaobei understood what Lidong meant and he was worried about his own safety.
"What do you want to do?"
Lidong chuckled and said, "It's good for us to come together so we can take care of you."
Well, Chen Xiaobei has never been polite to Lidong on this matter.
Everything went as he expected. When they returned to Hetou Village, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. Cui Hongyu, who heard the noise, was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, he stepped forward and grabbed his arm, pulling him to the zoo.
Chen Xiaobei was very surprised, "Why did you drag me here?"
Cui Hongyu lowered her voice, "Second Aunt and Cuihua are back, we can only live here."
Hearing Cui Hongyu's introduction, Chen Xiaobei sighed. He had long thought that Chen Dachun would have this ending, but he didn't expect this moment to come so quickly.
"Okay, I understand. I need to take a rest quickly. I have to go into the mountains later."
Cui Hongyu looked distressed, "Husband, can't you go into the mountains again tomorrow? Why bother?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "There is a wounded tiger on the mountain. If we don't chase it quickly, I'm afraid the beast will escape."
