Chapter 20 Encountering a Tiger

Chapter 20 20. Encountering a tiger

At night.

The vigorous hunting operation is over.

Some people are wailing, others are mourning.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man away, and the loving couple part ways.

Xiaomofang fell silent.

Yan Yu blew out the candles early and stood nervously at the back door, looking out from time to time, worried and looking forward to it.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. This was not because of acting, but because the atmosphere of the entire Xiaomofang was like this. Who among the people living there would not feel sad?

At midnight, a ghostly shadow suddenly appeared at the back door. He raised his hand and knocked six times in a rhythm of "light, heavy, light, heavy."

Yan Yu leaned over and heard a voice coming from outside the house.

"it's me."

This familiar voice made Yan Yu extremely happy. She hurriedly opened the door, pulled the man outside the door in, and then hugged each other impatiently, her hands restless and eager.

After a long time.

The noise in the room calmed down.

Li Yuandao: "Don't you mind the smell?"

"It doesn't smell bad." Lady Yan replied softly, but she hugged her man tightly with both hands, for fear that she would lose him if he let go.

After a soft sigh, she seemed to have had enough, so she let go and said, "I'll boil some water for you to take a bath."

"Don't burn it. If there is smoke, other people will be suspicious." Li Yuandao, "Besides, I have already bathed in the spring water in the mountain, but I have to take some soap locusts and clothes with me soon."

"Mountain spring?"

Lady Yan's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"What's the weather like?"

"Aren't you freezing to death?"

Li Yuandao: "Your men are stronger than oxen and cannot freeze to death."

Lady Yan gouged out his eyes, pinched his flesh with her hands, and said coquettishly: "No wonder he is so good at farming."

After saying that, she sighed again, lay on Li Yuan's chest, and said softly: "Many men in the shop have left. Uncle Wang, Qian Er, Brother Xiong, and the little tiger who was called Brother Qian Yuan before, can you name them?" Most of the young people are gone.

Brother Yuan, do you think they can come back alive if they go to kill the Red Lotus Thief? "

Li Yuan was silent for a while without speaking.

Before time travel, although he didn't study history books much, he had followed historical dramas at least.

So he knew: Peasant uprisings often represent the beginning of troubled times.

What about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, what about Huang Tiandang Li, what about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

When chaos begins, order will collapse and human lives will become like nothing.

Nowadays, people are starving to death in this workshop, and things like selling people can only be regarded as childish.

Until then,

The human world is no longer the human world

But hell.

"Brother Yuan, do you think they can't come back?" Lady Yan said softly, "Qian Er and the others can forget about it, but there are still many good people in the shop. Are they just going to die like this?"

Li Yuan felt a little heavy.

He thought: After things calm down, I don't know if it would be better if I save more money and live over there in Silver River.

Or, escape into the mountains? Hide in the mountains and create a "peach blossom garden" to escape the troubled times?

Li Yuan hugged his mother-in-law tightly and consoled her: "Whether she dies or not is not up to us. We can only decide her fate."

Mrs. Yan choked up and cried: "It's a good thing you didn't go. It's a good thing you didn't go. You must take good care of yourself in the mountains. If you can't make it back in the evening, don't rush."

Li Yuandao: "Sister Yan, I know everything you said.

You have to hide our food secretly and take out a little at a time so that no one finds out that we have so much food.

In addition, if you see a family that is struggling, don’t show kindness and give them a lot of food. It will cause trouble. "

Lady Yan closed her eyes,

Cheek against his,

He murmured: "Your mother-in-law is not stupid."

In the early morning, it's still dark.

Li Yuan climbed out of bed, took the packed package, quietly opened the back door, and disappeared into the pre-dawn mist like a ghost.

He couldn't stay at home and had to hide in the mountains. This made him feel a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Back on the mountain, he quickly entered Erzhong Mountain, found a cave near the mountain spring, and settled down directly.

After a while, it was dawn.

The golden sunshine shines on the mountains.

He grabbed old clothes and soap locust and went to the spring to wash his clothes. When he saw a few "0~1" emerging from the depths of the spring, he just took the arrow and threw it down, and then pulled it out. The fish are coming.

After washing the clothes, they hung them directly on the rocks outside the cave.

Lay it flat and let it dry in the sun for a day.

Then, he lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave with the firewood he picked up along the way, and grilled fish over the bonfire.

After eating the fish, he leaned against the mountain wall and stared into the distance in a daze.

After being in a daze for a while, he became bored.

Disguise yourself and go out to the county to hang out? Forget it. Once discovered, the direct person will be gone.

But you have to find something to do, right?

How about continuing to take a look into the mountains?

If we can really find a good place in this mountain, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring Sister Yan here to build a paradise. Maybe if we endure it, we can get through this troubled world?

The residents of Peach Blossom Spring said that "Zi Yun escaped from the chaos of the Qin Dynasty and led his wife and people to this desperate situation." They directly escaped the entire troubled times.

Why can't I do it myself?

The skills are valuable, but if you need to risk your life or take great risks to obtain them, forget it. As long as you live long enough, there will always be opportunities.

And if you can stay in the mountains for a long enough time, you will definitely have a lot of points. When you go out of the mountains, you can almost directly upgrade to the maximum level after learning any skills. Isn't this better than being worried every day outside?

For a moment, Li Yuan's heart pounded.

"Okay, okay!"

He jumped up from the ground with full energy, clenched his fists, and said with shining eyes: "Today, let's explore deeper into Xiaomo Mountain."

So, Li Yuan carried the bow, grabbed the hatchet, and continued to walk north.

He was familiar with this area.

However, the familiar range only reached a mountain pass in front.

Today he decided to pass through the mountain pass and go inside to see what the "third mountain" behind the "second mountain" was.

In the afternoon,

He walked crookedly to the north and soon passed through the mountain pass.

Behind the mountain pass is a vast expanse of deep mountains and old forests, with a grayish-yellow color. It looks different in spring and summer.

"This broken place doesn't even have a road, and no one comes here on weekdays."

Li Yuan grabbed the hatchet and chopped left and right, cutting off some inexplicably hanging dead vines and wildly growing branches.

Looking forward, there was no end at all, and everything looked the same.

Looking up, I saw "0~1" or "1~2" values ​​flashing from time to time.

The frequency of these values ​​is much higher than that of Erchong Mountain.

"Great, this way, we won't have to worry about eating meat.

It will be even better if we grow some vegetables at that time.

But this place is still too close to the outside, I have to go to a farther place to survey."

It was soon evening.

Li Yuan explored a circle and decided to return.

He just kept walking for an afternoon.

Because he has the ability of "Grandmaster Tracking" and can see the value, basically as long as he doesn't provoke those aggressive beasts, those beasts can't provoke him.

At sunset, the dusk is like blood.

The wind in the mountains is inexplicably cold.

It's like a knife scraping bones.

Li Yuan walked and ran back quickly.

It was dark, but the moon was in the sky and the earth was still bright.

Li Yuan returned to the cave, lit a bonfire, and then hurried to the mountain spring next to him, grinning and taking an ice bath, and caught a few fish by the way.

After a while, he put on the clothes that had been dried during the day, squatted on a big stone pier, grilled fish while reviewing the terrain survey in the third mountain during the day.

"For now, I haven't found a suitable place.

Maybe I can set off earlier tomorrow, speed up my pace, and go further."

Just thinking about it, Li Yuan suddenly felt a gust of evil wind coming from afar.

He reacted quickly with his left hand, grabbed the earthen bow very quickly, and threw away the grilled fish with his right hand, and drew an arrow.

Bend the bow,

Put the arrow on it,

The bowstring is tight,

And the tip of the arrow flashing with cold light is facing the edge of the light area illuminated by the campfire.

Li Yuan stared at the distance quietly with his eyes, full of vigilance.

And at this moment, a number of "5~8" came from afar, and the outline of a tiger with hanging eyes and white forehead emerged in the darkness.

The tiger was running very fast, but when it was about to reach the campfire, it suddenly stopped, then slowly retreated a few steps, and then lay down directly, crawling motionless.

Li Yuan originally wanted to shoot an arrow, but somehow he slowed down, picked up the grilled fish with the tip of his boot, and then kicked the grilled fish directly out with the tip of his toes.

The grilled fish flew far away and landed on the periphery of the campfire.

But the tiger lying on the ground did not move.

Li Yuan lowered the bow and arrow slightly and restrained his breath.

Tiger suddenly stood up, walked forward a few steps, picked up the grilled fish, turned around and ran away quickly.

PS: I tried it these few days, and basically I can code the second update before 8 pm. There is no special situation, the first update is at 5 pm, and the second update is at 8 pm. Everyone knows this.
