This Panshan village is surrounded by mountains on two sides, and the open land on the other two sides has about several hundred mu of dry land with poor soil.The dense forest is to the east of the village. When you look up, you can't see the edge of the forest. Although many trees have lost their leaves, there are still some hardy pines and cypresses in the mountains, forming a dark green. Coupled with dead trees and shrubs, the road is not easy.

Ouyang Yu followed behind Qilang, stepping on the snow one step at a time, took two breaths of hot air to warm his frozen fingers, and said, "Brother Seven, do you have an idea on how to fight this tiger?"

Qilang was on his way in a muffled voice, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the words. He frowned and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. You just came to the village and don't know the rules of procurement. The work will be settled at the end of the month. Today I just go to the mountains. Look, I used to be with the hunter in the village

I once beat a tiger. As the saying goes, there are two tigers in one mountain. It turned out that the tiger died, and maybe the treasure land of geomantic omen was taken by other tigers.But if you can find tiger tracks today, you've already made a profit.The old mother at home has to watch each other from left to right, and eventually needs to come back before dark. "

Yun Niang next to her thought that Ouyang Yu was a little timid, she turned her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Ouyang Xiaolang, Qilang is the headhunter for hundreds of miles around here, it doesn't matter if he flies in the sky or runs underground, as long as he wants to fight, he won't lose it." Hand over. When the time comes, you just listen to the arrangement and make sure you are safe." After speaking, he glanced at Qilang, feeling very proud of his husband in his heart.

Ouyang Yu rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, and grinned: "Thank you Seventh Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid. It's just that the weather is not good today, and there may still be snow, so there will be trouble."

When Yunniang heard this, she first raised her head to look at the sky, then Ouyang Yu unexpectedly, pulled the fast-moving Qilang and said: "Qilang, maybe I can get some help today, Ouyang Xiaolang knows the weather."

Qilang just walked forward with a dull head, said "en" and stopped talking, and led the three people to speed up their pace and hurried towards the mountain.

There are several trails in the mountains, which are obviously trampled by many people.Qilang led the three of them up and down the road, walking into the woods beside the road from time to time, leaning over to check, picking up animal feces that were half buried in the snow, twisting them with his fingers, smelling them again, or feeling the animal dung next to it. Study the trees with claw marks and scratches.A pair of alert eyes, bright and energetic.

About two hours later, it was already noon, and the four of them had already left the path and walked towards the deep mountain. The snow was thick in the forest, so the walking speed was much slower. Qilang was exploring the way ahead, and Ouyang Yu followed at the end.The group of people did not speak, but their bodies were no longer cold. After walking for a long time, they were already hot all over, and fine sweat appeared on their foreheads.There are a lot of winter birds in the woods, from time to time there are a few birdsong, gray magpie, blackbird, pearl-necked turtledove, mountain turtledove, sparrow, Ouyang Yu alone can recognize several of them, these birds are not afraid of the four of them, Foraging in that dry grass.

It's been a long time in this business, and Qilang's brows are also tightened. Up to now, no trace of the tiger has been found, which can't help but make people feel frustrated.

"Let's take a rest, eat something, and look for it later." Qilang couldn't find anything, and his mood was not much better. With a muffled sound, he squatted down next to the tree beside him.Yunniang just untied the water bag from her waist and handed it to Qilang without saying a word.Zhao San'er squatted not far from Qilang, eating and drinking by himself.

"Seventh Brother, I'll go and make it easier." Ouyang Yu saw that a few people were in a bad mood, so he didn't say much, apologised, and went to the nearby forest to go to the xiaojie.

Ouyang Yu looked around while walking, thinking in his heart not to pee by himself, it would be bad if something popped out over there.There was a "crack" sound as they were walking, and Ouyang Yu stepped on a lump with one foot. When he lifted his foot up, there was a black, yellow, soft lump on the bottom of his foot. When he looked at the ground again, it looked like a lump stool.

"Uh~" Ouyang Yu's throat tightened, and his stomach felt nauseated for no reason. This must be animal feces, so he quickly took two steps away, rubbing his feet on the ground.

"Eh, what's this?" Before he wiped his feet clean, Ouyang Yu found a line of footprints in the snow beside him, shaped like a plum blossom, the size of a human foot, and much wider horizontally.The middle is a palm, and the four finger prints are distributed on the top, and the toe prints near the head are especially large.Regardless of the dirt on his feet, he followed the footprints for a few steps. The footprints were of different shades and spread to the distant forest.

"Is this... Could it be? Tiger footprints?" Just looking at this palm print, it is very similar to the tiger footprints I have seen in my memory, but after all, I have never seen a tiger in the forest, so I am a little uncertain.Ouyang Yu didn't think too much, turned his head and ran towards Qilang.

"Brother Seven, come and take a look, there are animal feces and footprints over there, maybe it's from tigers!" Ouyang Yu shouted seeing Qilang who was squatting there and munching on pancakes.

Qilang, who was a little depressed, got up suddenly, stuffed the pancakes into his arms in a hurry, and ran towards the place Ouyang Yu pointed.

Seeing that Qilang didn't think that shit was disgusting, he squeezed some shit, twisted it between his fingers, and put it between his nose to smell it carefully.A smile gradually appeared on his tense face, and he didn't say much. He squatted down and looked at a few footprints along the road.

"Yunniang! San'er! Ouyang Xiaolang! We are lucky! These are the feces and traces of the big bug!" Qilang stood up and said under his breath, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and voice.

When Yunniang heard Qilang say this, she sighed softly, then turned and said angrily: "The good luck is not yours! It is Ouyang Xiaolang's! I said it on the way, maybe Ouyang Xiaolang is a great help, believe me right?"

"Believe! Believe!" Qilang nodded with a smirk, and he still had the vigilant look of a hunter who came all the way.

Ouyang Yu was amused in his heart, what is this?Shit luck?No, it should be the luck of the tiger, I can finally help the two of them, and I am worthy of the two hard and cold pancakes in my arms.

After talking and laughing a few times, the four of them chased after the tiger's footprints, but this time they were very energetic. The shit just now was soft, indicating that the tiger should not have gone far.The four of them were silent, Qilang and Zhao San'er held their hunting forks tightly, Yunniang had already taken down her bow, and she put the arrow on the string, and followed Qilang closely.

Yunniang wanted to give Ouyang Yu the hunting knife at her waist, but Ouyang Yu shook his head, indicating that he had a solution.It's too late to give in after chasing the tiger's trail, Yunniang had no choice but to give up.

After walking for less than half an hour, I chased to a place halfway up the hillside. When I descended the hillside, there was a flat valley, with forests and high and low cliffs on both sides.The three of them looked at the terrain and were about to continue chasing, but there was a roar of a tiger.It even knocked off the snow on the branches above the heads of several people.

The four of them were startled when they heard the roar of the tiger, and hurriedly squatted down to look towards the sound of the roar of the tiger.
