At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 35 Xu Chu
The two tied the horse to the tree and rushed towards the tiger roaring with their knives.

"Don't let go of any more arrows!"

From a long distance away, Zhou Qi heard the thunder-like sound, and immediately turned to Xiang Hong and asked doubtfully: "If you don't shoot the tiger with an arrow from a distance, wouldn't it be very dangerous if you fight it up close?" Is it dangerous?"

But Xiang Hong replied: "Zi Yi doesn't know something. Tiger skins are very precious, but they are only limited to complete tiger skins. The more complete the tiger skin, the higher the value."

"The people lack strong bows and crossbows. It is not easy to shoot a tiger directly. At most, you can only shoot it with many wounds, and then exhaust the opponent's strength. Only in this way can you hunt and kill a tiger."

"Some old hunters will also set traps to kill tigers in order to obtain intact tiger skins, and do not want arrows to damage the integrity of the tigers."

Zhou Qi suddenly realized when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "It must be that the strong man who made the noise is also in order to get the complete tiger skin, so that's why he ordered everyone not to shoot arrows."

While Zhou Qi was thinking, he saw a fierce tiger with bleeding from the corner of its mouth rushing towards the direction of the two of them.

"Ziyi be careful!"

Seeing this, Xiang Hong's face was solemn, and he hurriedly stood in front of him with his sword horizontally, protecting Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi also reacted very quickly. Although he felt the strong sense of oppression from the tiger, he did not feel timid at all.

In the face of fierce beasts like tigers, turning around and running away is the most stupid way. It is very difficult to escape, and it will also arouse the instinct of cats to hunt and kill prey.

On the contrary, if you hold a weapon and assume an offensive posture, it will make cats who are cautious by nature feel a little afraid.

As a butcher who is good at hunting, Xiang Hong naturally has a good understanding of the living habits of tigers.

He took two steps forward with a knife in both hands, releasing all the murderous aura accumulated in his body from killing pigs and dogs for many years, and immediately stopped the tiger that was fleeing in a panic.

"Bastard, where are you going!"

At this moment, a thick rope was pulled over the tiger's head with a roar like thunder.

"Roar!"

The tiger's head was suddenly put on a rope, and it immediately roared angrily. It rushed forward with all its strength, trying to drag the person holding the rope down.

"boom!"

Never thought.

The tiger struggled violently, instead of escaping with the rope, its huge body was dragged by the rope and fell directly to the ground.

No matter how hard the tiger struggled, it couldn't pull the rope even a little bit.

"Bastard, come here!"

The majestic male voice sounded again, and the rope was stretched straight, dragging the tiger to the back.

Zhou Qi looked up, and when he saw that there was only one person pulling the rope, he immediately turned pale with horror. He couldn't help but said to Xiang Hong in front of him: "I never thought that there are such warriors in the world!"

Seeing this, Xiang Hong was also horrified.

Although he possessed extraordinary bravery, he could easily slaughter dogs and pigs by himself alone, but he didn't have such great strength to drag the fiercely struggling tiger away.

After being amazed, Zhou Qi looked at the man and saw that the man was more than eight feet long, with a waist ten inches wide, a majestic appearance, and extraordinary courage.

According to Zhou Qi's estimate, the man's height is almost two meters, and his waist is almost 1.2 meters. The whole person looks like a humanoid tank, extremely powerful and majestic, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

You know, the normal waist circumference of adult men in later generations generally does not exceed 85 cm.The man's waistline of nearly 1.2 meters is absolutely appalling.

The most important thing is that although he has big shoulders, a round waist and a majestic figure, he does not give people the feeling of being fat or bloated at all. Instead, he exudes a majestic aura from his bones.

While marveling at the might of the man, Zhou Qi suddenly moved in his heart, and said to himself: "According to historical records, Xu Chu in Qiao County is more than eight feet long and ten circumferences in waist. This place has already reached the border of Qiao County. Could it be that this man is the most famous man in history?" The famous Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang?"

"Zhongkang, if you drag me like this, the tiger's fur will be worthless if it gets scratched by gravel or branches!"

At this moment, a slightly mocking voice sounded.

Zhou Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and secretly said: "It really is him!"

After Xu Chu heard the voice, he stopped dragging the tiger, and strode forward directly towards the tiger.

"Roar!"

The tiger stood up and shook his slightly suffocated head. When he saw Xu Chu rushing towards him with great momentum, he stopped running away and instead jumped up and rushed towards Xu Chu.

"Strong man beware!"

Even though Zhou Qi knew that the tiger had nothing to do with Xu Chu, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Haha, thank you for reminding me, what can a mere tiger do to me?"

However, they saw that Xu Chu did not retreat but advanced. Facing the flying tiger, he refused to dodge and suddenly waved the rope around the tiger's neck.

"boom!"

The tiger felt a huge force coming from its neck, and under the traction of the powerful force, its body fell heavily to the ground.

Before the tiger got up, Xu Chu was already riding on the tiger's back, pulling the rope with both hands and strangling the tiger's neck.

The tiger was still struggling violently at the beginning, but as time went by, the extent of its struggle became smaller and smaller, and finally straightened its limbs, and there was no more movement.

Xu Chu didn't see that the tiger had stopped moving, and he didn't let go immediately. Instead, he reined in for a while, and then let go of the rope in a slightly wary manner.

Seeing that the tiger really couldn't die anymore, Xu Chu threw away the rope in his hand, stood up and saluted Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong, and said, "Thank you just now, if it wasn't for the fact that this beast was intimidated by the momentum of the two of you, it stopped for a while. , a certain may not be able to cover it with a rope."

"Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang in Xujiazhai, I have seen two strong men!"

Zhou Qi also hastily returned the gift, saying: "Zhou Qi and Zhou Ziyi in Xiaxiang County passed by here, and seeing Brother Zhongkang hunting and killing fierce tigers is really an eye-opener!"

Xiang Hong also saluted and said: "A certain Changshan Xiang Hong, whose name is Bode, has met your Excellency!"

Xu Chu has always liked to make friends with heroes, and seeing that the two of them are both heroic and extraordinary, even in the face of fierce tigers, they are not afraid at all, so they immediately became friends.

He said loudly: "I hunted this tiger today, and I just cooked the tiger meat to entertain the guests. If you two don't give up, why not go to Xujiazhai to rest for a while, eat some food and wine, and then go on your way!"

Zhou Qi pondered for a while, considering that the government's sea arrest documents would not arrive in Qiao County so soon.In addition, he had intended to make friends with Xu Chu since then, now that the other party offered to invite him, it was hard for him to refuse.

Moreover, the two of them were traveling day and night, they were really hungry and thirsty, and they needed to eat something to restore their strength.

Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong exchanged glances, and then said to Xu Chu: "I don't dare to ask for your ear!"
