"This..." Lao Lu and the guide lowered their heads and fell silent.
When he was young, Lao Lu raised his head and said, "Let's see if a tiger has ever eaten a human before!"
"How about eating people? So what if you haven't eaten people?"
"If you meet someone who has eaten people... I'll be honest, I'm probably doomed! If you've never eaten people, there's still a glimmer of hope!" Lao Lu answered truthfully.
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is this?"
Lao Lu replied with a wry smile: "That's because if a tiger has eaten a human, it will know that humans are very easy to hunt, and it will attack without any hesitation! But a tiger that has never eaten a human will attack when it sees a human." , it will be curious and wonder what we are! If someone yells loudly at this time and waves his arms as much as possible, the tiger may be frightened away!"
"Frightened the tiger away?" Xiao Han couldn't imagine a person jumping and jumping in front of a tiger alone. He always thought that was more funny than a monkey, so he asked again: "Then why not climb a tree? Aren't tigers not able to climb trees? ?”
"Who told Mr. Hou that tigers can't climb trees?!"
The guide who had been quiet next to him suddenly screamed when he heard what Xiao Han said and looked at Xiao Han with wide eyes. After seeing the confusion on Xiao Han's face, he said angrily: "What kind of peace of mind does this person have! Master Hou, that tiger can reach a height of one or two feet in one leap! For an ordinary tree, it can climb up in just a few blinks of an eye. ! Unless it’s a tree with thorns, a tiger will definitely climb as fast as a human! I personally saw a tiger eating its food on a tree! That tree is still very high!”
"Tiger can also climb trees? Sure enough, the rumors are deceiving people!" Xiao Han looked up to the sky and sighed. If someone really believed this, climbed a tree, and suddenly discovered that their tiger can climb trees better than you, that would be so despairing...
Talking about tigers in the forest, especially in the forest where there are real tigers, always makes people a little hairy. I always feel that there is a pair of dark eyes hidden deep in the jungle staring at me, so I have to stay in a crowded place! Even if a tiger comes, it's easy to run away. After all, you can't outrun the tiger, but you can always outrun those people...
Boil the water and set it aside to cool down before drinking. When Xiao Han went up the mountain this time, Uncle Lengzi and the others had already made complete preparations. Everyone had rations on their bodies. Now they took them out, roasted them on the fire, and ate some quickly to replenish their lost strength.
Because spring has started early, there are some small animals in the forest. But they didn't come out for fun this time, and they didn't have time to hunt or handle them, so the auxiliary soldiers could only drool as they watched the fat rabbit jump to the stream to drink water, and then took a vicious bite of the biscuit. It's like biting rabbit meat in your mouth.
After eating and drinking, Uncle Lengzi and Lao Lu regrouped and hit the road again.
Because everyone knew that this place belonged to a fierce tiger, everyone walked extremely carefully.
But I don’t know whether it’s good luck or bad luck, but the journey was strangely peaceful.
Until they got close to the hill where the mulberry trees were planted, they didn't see any tigers or other wild beasts, which made Xiao Han and Xiaodong a little disappointed. They both wanted to see this guy from a distance.
"Hey, forget it, after all, a tiger can run fast..." Xiao Han could only comfort himself.
"Master Marquis? Master Marquis! We are here!" Just as Xiao Han was secretly disappointed, the guide suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Han with a flattering look on his face, almost frightening Xiao Han.
"What's here? Where's it?" Xiao Han said while touching his chest.
"We've arrived at the mulberry forest..." The guide felt a little aggrieved. Didn't you say that if there are really mulberries, there will be a reward? Why did he break his promise and get fat again in the blink of an eye?
"We're at Mulberry Forest now? No need to climb up?" When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately screamed, pushed away the guide and ran forward, followed closely by Xiaodong and the others. !
Jump over a narrow ditch, then climb over a dilapidated and overgrown fence.
A large mulberry forest suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Han!
Standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up, everything as far as the eye can see is lush!
Mulberry trees, there are mulberry trees full of fruits everywhere! Although there are overgrown weeds below because no one is managing them, the vast expanse of purple fruits makes people fall in love with them at the first sight, and they want to rush up and eat them immediately!
"Is this the mulberry forest?" Xiao Han walked forward blankly, broke off a mulberry branch hanging in front of his eyes, and murmured to himself.
He originally thought that it would be good to have a scale of three to five acres here, but he never thought that it would be an entire mountain! How many silkworms did the original owner of the mulberry forest have to raise to eat them all?
"Aw~ Let's eat with all our bellies!"
Facing such a forest full of fruits, it is difficult for people to control their nature of harvesting, especially when no money is required. Xiaodong just roared, and the people around him went crazy!
Except for a few who firmly believed in protecting Xiao Han, everyone else swarmed forward with screams and screams! Jumping high, I grabbed a handful of purple mulberries and stuffed them into my mouth!
There is no distinction between high and low in the happiness gained for nothing! Even Xiao Han, who is a Marquis, is no exception now. He grabbed the biggest tree and didn't allow others to come over to grab the food. He picked out the black and purple mulberries by himself to eat. The darker the color, the sweeter it is!
However, when a group of people finally finished eating, they suddenly discovered it.
His hands and mouth were all covered in black! Everyone looked like silly boys. You stared at me and I stared at you under the tree, and then burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay! Stop laughing! Start working! Don't forget what we are here for!"
The sudden burst of laughter did not last long, and quickly turned into scattered laughter with a scolding from the auxiliary soldier Lao Lu. A group of men started picking mulberries while joking with each other.
In fact, from the point of picking mulberries, it can be clearly seen that Xiao Han is completely different from these people.
Xiao Han picking fruits is more like a bear picking sticks! In order to pick a cluster of well-grown mulberries, he even jumped up and broke off the branches! When a tree is picked, there is basically nothing left to do. If you want the tree to recover, you don’t have to think about it for a few years!
On the other hand, everyone else knows the function of this tree. When picking, they are careful to avoid the branches and leaves, and do not hurt them if possible.
After picking enough time to have a cup of tea, Uncle Lunzi and the others really couldn't stand Xiao Han's "destructive picking method", so they politely asked Xiao Han aside: "Master Hou, we can do this rough work. You Look at the scenery and take a break, wouldn’t it be nice?”
In fact, Xiao Han has already lost his patience at this time. He always only has three minutes to do things with enthusiasm. Now after hearing what Uncle Lunzi said, he quickly borrowed the ladder to get off the donkey, called Xiaodong, and went to take a look inside the mulberry forest.
Although it seemed very safe here, the cautious Uncle Lunzi would not let these two people run around. He stopped Xiao Han until he called a few more people before allowing Xiao Han to wander around.
The group of people walked slowly towards the depths of the mulberry forest. It must be said that this mulberry forest is planted in a very regular manner!
The rows are very convenient for people to walk through. I think it was originally to make it easier for people to pick mulberry leaves, but now, it is all in vain for Xiao Han.
