There were few children at the moment, so the children brought by Li Ping'an hurriedly gathered around and marveled at the big tiger's body, but no one dared to reach out and touch it first.
"Are Ruyi afraid of the big tiger?" Li Ping'an asked the little man in his arms.
Xiao Ruyi shook her head a few times without thinking, but after looking at the big tiger, she nodded again and again, and then shook her head again. Li Ping'an was confused, not knowing whether she expressed fear or not.
Asking her to think about it carefully, Li Pingan asked Xinglong if he was afraid. Xinglong nodded simply.
"Siguo is a coward!" Xiao Ruyi mocked.
Xinglong didn't refute, just leaned quietly on his elder brother's arm. When he was born, his family had just started making tofu, so Li Erlin named him Xinglong, hoping that the family's tofu business would prosper. Li Ping'an was very busy at that time, so the task of leading Xinglong naturally fell on Fugui.
Fugui is a real person, and his cheerful temperament is exactly like Fugui's. He usually doesn't talk much, so although he is a year older than Yi, he is far from Ruyi's opponent when it comes to talking.
Li Ping'an sometimes finds it puzzling that Fugui, Jixiang, Ruyi, and the second brother who died in infancy were all brought up by him, so why is it that only Fugui is so boring?
"Brother, look at me!"
A voice came, and Li Ping'an raised his head and looked over. Jixiang was riding on the back of a tiger, waving his hands with a big smile on his face. Seeing him, Jixiang immediately jumped up and said "drive".
Li Ping'an couldn't help but laugh. Xiaoru expressed his opinion, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Big pot, I also want to ride a big tiger, big pot..."
"Okay, okay, both Xinglong and Ruyi are riding big tigers!"
He carried the two little ones forward and put them on the tiger's back. The tiger was quite big. It looked bigger than the wild boar that was hunted the day before yesterday. It was more than enough to carry three children on its back.
Little Ruyi was so courageous that she jumped up together with her arms around Ji Xiang's waist. Xinglong was a little reluctant to let go at first, but he was a child after all. Seeing the elder sister and the younger sister playing so energetically and happily, he soon became bolder.
Li Ping'an's cousins also had the courage to touch the tiger's carcass one after another. The adults looked on with smiles and did not say anything to stop them.
Li Ping'an was right. We don't often see big insects, and it's even rarer to hunt down a dead big insect. This is the first time they've seen them after living for so long. It's indeed possible that these children will only get this chance in their lives. Now that I can touch the tiger, I have nothing to do anyway. Let the children play for a while, and a little bit of tiger meat is indispensable.
When the villagers who had walked away before came with their children, Li Ping'an called his brothers and sisters away. There was only one tiger, and there were many children in the village. They could just play for a while, and they couldn't occupy it all the time. .
However, before leaving, Li Ping'an almost pulled out all the tiger's beards, which made Zhang Yu stare. Before he came back, he had agreed with his companions that the skin of this big insect belonged to him, and he would treasure it well.
No one had any objections. After all, hunting this big bug had nothing to do with them. Zhang Yu dug the trap yesterday, and Zhang Yu found it by following the blood stains and shot the big bug in the eye with a precise arrow. They just helped to carry it out. .
However, although it had nothing to do with them, the corpse of this big insect gave the hastily gathered team a boost of confidence. I have always heard of people being killed and maimed by big insects, and I have never heard of anyone catching big bugs nearby. Now Zhang Yu has hunted one. Regardless of whether he has such strength, at least he is definitely not lucky. Difference.
That night, most people in the hut were in high spirits. No matter where they were, they could hear a man who had gone into the mountain talking to his family about how Zhang Yu accurately hit the tiger's eye with one arrow, and then shot the tiger with anticipation. They argued for a while about the taste of meat, but no matter how they argued, their faces were always beaming with joy.
That's tiger meat. Even the rich families in the city may not be able to eat it, but they, the mud-legged ones, can have a chance to eat it.
"Uncle, did you hear that? Everyone praises your archery skills!" Li Ping'an winked at Zhang Yu in a mean manner.
Zhang Yu glared, and saw that the child was getting older and younger, and he dared to tease his elders in front of them.
He was self-aware of his archery skills and could accurately shoot into the tiger's eye. The main reason was that the tiger was dying at the time and was almost like an immobile target. He took a few steps closer with courage. If he still couldn't hit the target, it would be a real disaster. Practice in vain.
Li Erlin also felt that Li Pingan was a little ignorant, so he kicked the back of Li Pingan's thigh. Li Pingan glanced at Li Erlin, shrank his neck, and quickly changed the subject: "It's really a blessing from God. He hit one on the first day." Tiger is back and everyone seems confident."
For several days, the shed was usually lifeless. Today it was not only alive, but also lively and festive at night. It felt like we were camping instead of hiding from the flood in the mountains.
"It's indeed good luck!" Zhang Yu did not deny it. As a hunter who lives on the tip of a knife, it is taboo to overestimate one's own strength, and it was unexpected for him to be able to hunt big insects.
But speaking of luck, he remembered what Zhang Xiaoshan had just said. He looked at little Ruyi who was holding a piece of rabbit meat and chewing it happily, and said happily: "Ruyi's luck is not bad, the rabbits are all coming to my door. I This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing.”
Who hasn’t heard this for the first time? After all, Zhang Yu hunted a tiger in a deep mountain, and the trap was dug in a place with traces of wild animal activity. Although catching a tiger was unexpected, it can still explain that it came out to hunt. Just walked to the location of the trap. Even the traps dug by Li Ping'an and Zhang Xiaoshan were determined by Zhang Xiaoshan after careful observation.
Little Ruyi was suddenly knocked down by a sliding shovel from the hare, and then knocked the hare unconscious. The only explanation is luck.
Hearing her uncle mentioning herself, little Ruyi raised her head and grinned, showing her cute little baby teeth, and said happily: "Rabbit meat is delicious!"
"If it's delicious, please eat two more pieces. This is the rabbit you caught." Li Erlin glanced at his little daughter with a smile on his face. Xiao Ruyi's bad luck reminded him of what Li Ping'an had done before the flood. Nightmare, he felt more and more that his two children were favored by God, and he suddenly gained confidence and confidence for the days to come.
After all, there are not many people like them who eat meat these two days, and some even have to fish dead animal carcasses from the flood to satisfy their hunger...
Thinking of this, Li Erlin asked Li Ping'an: "No one from Qingshui Village came here today, right?"
Li Ping'an shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Hu Zi and his people are watching."
"That's good." Li Erlin felt relieved and warned, "It's hot today and there will be a lot of mosquitoes. Burn more mugwort at night. Brother Xiaodong, you guys should also watch carefully during the night watch."
Li Dalin and Li Dong nodded.
