Chapter 24 Tiger Might
Seeing that the tiger was still motionless, Du Wenhao said, "I'll go down and see if the tiger is dead."

Xue Feier quickly grabbed him: "No, what if it deliberately pretends to be dead to lure us down!"

"Does it need to be so strenuous? It really wants to bite us, just pounce on it just now. I thought it was a bit strange just now. When we were down there, there was only one lantern. How can it stop the tiger? Even a torch No way. But this tiger didn’t move at all, and if it really wanted to pounce, we would have been its food for two mornings. So, either we misread the tiger and scared ourselves, or it’s just a dead tiger!”

"What if you're wrong?"

"It's not wrong! But it's right to be careful. How about this, I'll go down a little bit and hit it with something. If it's really alive, there's no reason not to move."

"Well, let me do it, I will shoot it with a concealed weapon!"

"You know how to conceal weapons?" Du Wenhao said with an angry smile, "You are so powerful, why didn't you use concealed weapons just now?"

"I was frightened just now. It's okay if it's a bad guy, but it's a tiger. It's okay for me to beat a bad guy, but..., hehe, I don't dare to hit a tiger..."

"Well, let's launch the hidden weapon from here, is that okay?"

"No problem! I have a hidden weapon." Since it was estimated that the thing was either not a tiger or a dead tiger, Xue Fei'er suddenly became courageous. With a wave of her hand, she revealed a dart and shot it with a shake of her hand. , The dart hit a big rock a foot or two away from the tiger, splashing a few sparks.

"Hey hey!" Du Wenhao couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, laughing that the stone is not placed in the right place. It's blocking your dart, hehe."

"Hmph! People sometimes miss and horses stumble! This time it's right!" Shaking his hand, he shot another throwing knife, and there was a bang. On a pine tree behind the tiger.

"Hahaha..." Du Wenhao laughed hard.

"Don't laugh!" Xue Fei'er widened her almond eyes, and slapped him on the shoulder, "This black light is blind, he can't see if he can't shoot, what's so funny."

"That's right! I don't blame you, I blame God for not giving me face. Hehehe"

"You're still laughing!" Xue Fei'er pinched him.

"Oh! Take it easy, grandma! You have practiced martial arts, even though I am old and rough, I can't stand it."

"Who told you to laugh at me! Hmph!"

"Although you missed the two throwing knives just now, it's not useless. Think about it, those two knives flew over and hit the tiger next to it. Why didn't the tiger react at all?
"Right? Maybe he's really dead!"

"Well, let's try again!"

"This time you come!"

"Me? I don't know how to shoot darts. Don't cut your hands off. By the way, besides darts, do you have any other hidden weapons like steel balls and locust stones?"

"No, I only have darts on me. By the way, I also have copper coins."

"Copper coins are just right, give me a handful!"

Xue Feier took out copper coins and asked curiously, "You can use money as a hidden weapon?"

"Of course it will! Hidden weapon, it's very simple!" Du Wenhao laughed, took the copper coin, padded it, raised his hand, and threw a handful of copper coins towards the tiger, and it landed on the tiger and its surroundings.

Xue Fei'er curled her lips: "You call this a hidden weapon?"

"Yeah, those thrown in the dark, of course they are called concealed weapons, but are they still called open weapons? Hehe, this is called 'Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers', do you understand? Hehehe"

Xue Fei'er burst out laughing: "It's all nonsense!"

The two observed for a while, and the tiger was covered with these copper coins, but it was still lying there motionless. Du Wenhao said happily, "It must be a dead tiger. I'll go down and have a look!"

"Hey! Don't go, you want to die?"

"Don't keep saying hi, okay, I have a name!"

"Then what do I call you? Call your name, people will say I'm a crazy girl!"

Du Wenhao snorted, and muttered: "It was supposed to be!"

"What did you say? Dare I say I'm a crazy girl! Find Bian!"

"You said it yourself!"

"Hmph! I can say it, but you are not allowed to say it!"

"It's unreasonable!"

"I'm so unreasonable! How about it! Are you not convinced?"

"Submit! Auntie."

"Hey! You haven't told me what to call you! Anyway, I don't call you by your name, and you don't want me to call you hello, so I'd better call you Du Langzhong."

"Whatever you want! Du Langzhong - Tu Lang Zhong can do it!"

"Hee hee, Tu Langzhong, that's a fun name! Oh no, my dad knows, he'll say I don't have a tutor, so it's better to call you Du Langzhong. ——I said, Du Langzhong, let's not take risks, just stay in the tree Come on, let’s wait until dawn! This is not a matter of cowardice, it’s always better for us to be careful, anyway, we won’t freeze to death if we wait overnight.”

"That..., that's fine."

The two leaned on each other and sat straddling the big branch, staring at the tiger below. They waited for almost an hour, but the tiger remained motionless.

It was late at night, it was almost the twelfth lunar month, and the cold wind was blowing. The two of them had been moving around just now, and they didn't feel cold. After sitting in the tree for so long, they felt that it was getting colder and colder. Shivering, he involuntarily leaned closer to Du Wenhao.

Xue Fei'er's delicate body was snuggled into Du Wenhao's arms, which made him a little distracted, but the cold wind also made it hard for him to resist, feeling that Xue Fei'er in his arms was trembling more and more violently, as soon as he gritted his teeth, He said in a low voice, "This won't work. It's only three o'clock. If we wait until dawn, we'll probably freeze to death on the tree."

"Then..., then what..., what should I do?" Xue Fei'er's teeth chattered.

"I'll go down and have a look at the tiger. It's been an hour, and it's still motionless. It must be dead. Let's not scare ourselves."

"This..., that..., then let's go together! Let's take care of each other." Xue Fei'er gritted her silver teeth, and took out a flying knife and held it in her hand as a dagger.

"Okay, you help me sweep the formation on the branches below, but this time you have to place the throwing knife accurately, don't miss the tiger, shoot it on my ass."

Xue Fei'er laughed out loud, and slapped her: "I hate it! You are not allowed to laugh at me!"

"Okay! Don't laugh, you wait for me up there, and I'll go down."

"No! I want to go down together too. I want to die together. Anyway, it wasn't you who rescued me up the tree just now. I was already bitten to death by the tiger."

Hearing her sincere words, Du Wenhao was a little moved: "You still stay on the tree. I climb the tree fast. If something is wrong, I can climb the tree right away. If you want to go down, I have to take care of you. If you go down, it will drag me down." !"

Xue Fei'er was right after thinking about it, so she had to agree: "Then you must be careful, this time I will definitely shoot accurately, don't worry, my throwing knife is actually very accurate, it's all because of the black lights who can't see clearly."

"Hehe, that's fine!"

Du Wenhao helped Xue Feier get down to the branch below, hugged the trunk and stood firm, then he slipped down the tree quietly along the trunk, stood behind the tree, stared at the tiger in the bush, the tiger was still the same as before, He raised his head and stared coldly ahead.

Du Wenhao squatted down slowly, bent down to pick up a few stones from the ground, leaned on the trunk, leaned out, aimed at the tiger and threw the stone at it. Several stones hit the tiger in succession, but the tiger still did not move.

Du Wenhao was sure that the tiger was dead. With a glance, he saw the medicine basket dropped by the two people a few steps away. He went to take out the medicine hoe from it and held it. The hoe smashed on the tiger's head, but the tiger still didn't move.This is for sure that the tiger is dead.He turned back and said, "It's okay, come down, this tiger is dead!"

Xue Fei'er jumped off the branch and ran over: "It's really dead."

During this period, Du Wenhao had checked the tiger by the moonlight, and said: "This tiger's hind leg was caught by a tiger trap, which may have just pinched off a blood vessel, resulting in excessive bleeding to death."

Xue Fei'er squatted down and touched the tiger. The tiger was stiff and was about to speak when she suddenly heard something moving behind the tiger. She screamed in fright, jumped up and rushed to hide behind Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao was also taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"Tiger...behind his butt... there is something moving!"

Du Wenhao hurriedly put the medicine hoe across his chest, looked around, but found nothing, walked slowly over, and still saw nothing, then put down the medicine hoe, said with a smile: "Miss! You also know martial arts ? Why are you afraid of being like this...?"

"Ah! Move again!"

Du Wenhao looked intently, and sure enough, he saw a small thing wriggling behind the dead tiger's buttocks.He hurriedly stretched out the medicine hoe and poked it slowly, and the thing actually made a squeaking sound like a mouse.
