Chapter 31 Zhang Shun kills the tiger

Zhang Shun ignored the pain and rolled up. He subconsciously hid, but suddenly found that the big insect did not catch up. Zhang Shun took a closer look and saw that the big insect was roaring and writhing not far away.

It turned out that just now Zhang Shun subconsciously inserted the two maces into the tiger's mouth. When he was in Meng County before, Chen Changzhen suggested that Zhang Shun practice double-punching. Zhang Shun felt that this thing was undoubtedly the same as a double mace, so he might as well make two steel maces, so that even if he couldn't use them in the future, he could still practice his strength.

Therefore, after listening to Chen Changzhen's opinions, Zhang Shun designed a pair of steel maces that were four feet nine inches long and weighed nine pounds and five taels. According to the habits of the Ming Dynasty people, this pair of maces is designed as a sheath with two maces. The maces are made into four edges with slots between the edges. The tips of the maces are quite sharp. If there is an emergency, they can be thrown out and used as a "letting go mace".

In order to have two maces in one sheath, the mace's hand guard is in the shape of a semicircle, which makes it exactly round when put together; the handle is semi-elliptical, which makes it exactly oval when put together. Zhang Shun originally thought that such a handle was difficult to hold, but who would have thought that after it was completed, it would feel even more comfortable to hold than an ordinary oval handle.

Chen Changzhen originally suggested that Zhang Shun make his two maces of different weights to accommodate the difference in strength between his left and right hands. Later, Zhang Shun considered that one sheath and two maces were difficult to distinguish. In addition, this mace was originally used for practice. Whether it could be used in actual combat depended on how Zhang Shun's strength increased, so Zhang Shun asked a blacksmith to make two maces. The portions are the same.

It's just that the weight of this weapon may not sound high, but in fact it is extremely heavy. The double whip general Hu Yanzhuo in "Water Margin" only weighs 12 kilograms in his left hand and 13 kilograms in his right hand. Although Zhang Shun is strong and good at martial arts, he is far inferior to Hu Yanzhuo, one of the legendary five tiger generals.

In order to practice martial arts these days, he often carries these two weapons with him. When he was in danger today, he immediately took out this weapon, but he did not expect that it would do great work.

At that time, Zhang Shun was standing on the stone, and the tiger happened to pounce. However, Zhang Shun rolled down the stone and escaped the tiger's first attack. When Zhang Shun got up, the tiger pounced for the second time. Zhang Shun stabbed the mace into the tiger's mouth. The mace was four feet nine inches long, about one and a half meters tall in later generations. It penetrated the tiger's belly through its mouth, injuring its internal organs.

According to the classification of later generations, this tiger is a South China tiger, with a body length of only about eight feet. Without the tail, it is only five feet long. Zhang Shun's poke almost penetrated it, leaving no chance of life. I saw the tiger roaring and struggling for a long time, and gradually lost its strength. Only the air coming in and the air coming out was gone.

At that time, Zhang Shun himself didn't know what was going on with him. He was in a state of extreme fear, extreme nervousness and extreme calmness. He did it naturally, as if everything had been rehearsed thousands of times, and all his movements were so precise. Smooth and natural.

At this time, Chen Changzhen heard the roar and rushed over. He saw a group of people gathered in front of him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He quickly pushed aside the crowd and came in. He saw Zhang Shun covered in blood, and the tiger was lying nearby, as if a thunder exploded above his head.

How could he not know that he had made a big mistake this time? He hurriedly approached him with three steps and two steps at a time. He knelt down and shouted, "How are you doing, my lord? Changzhi failed to kill the tiger this time and instead caused my lord to be hurt. Please, lord." Punishment.”

Zhang Shun just woke up from the strange state just now. He felt a pain in his body and asked in confusion: "What is the punishment?"

At this time, Daochang Ma, Chen Jindou, Zhao Yutou and others also came to their senses. They couldn't help being shocked and angry, and shouted sternly: "Chen Changzhen, how do you do things? If you defeat the master, you will die without mercy!" At this time, everyone Thinking of it, they were already engaged in rebellion. If it weren't for the Lord's "destiny", without the Lord, wouldn't they all become fugitives without a backbone?

Zhang Shun also came to his senses at this time and couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to punish him. When he came to his senses, he was shocked and angry, and wished he could beat this person to death on the spot. But in terms of power, he is only a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. In the eyes of many people, he is still a young boy with "no hair on his lips and no ability to do things well". Apart from feelings, if he was punished in this way and this person just walked away, wouldn't it be a loss of prestige and talent? But if he was not punished and he almost lost his life, he could just let it go, and he would How to convince the public?

While I was thinking, I heard a "plop" and someone knelt down again. Zhang Shun looked up and saw a hunter wearing animal skins, holding a bow and arrow and carrying a sword at his waist. Zhang Shun felt strange in his heart. He was about to ask, but he never thought that the man would ask directly: "I missed the tiger hunt and hurt your lord, but it was my fault. I, Xiao Qinhu, am willing to take the punishment for him."

It turns out that Xiao Qinhu has always hunted tigers and leopards. He is the most kind-hearted and is famous in the countryside. This time the tiger hurt someone, the first reaction of the nearby villagers was to notify the person to come and hunt the tiger. But they never thought that both of them were skilled in archery. They both wanted to kill the tiger with one arrow, but their arrows collided and they lost their hands.

At that time, Chen Changzhen was angry and shot off his arrow. Why didn't he have the desire to compete with others and shot Chen Changzhen's arrow away with one arrow? It was precisely because they competed with each other that they lost the tiger and hurt Zhang Shun. In addition, Xiao Qinhu couldn't help but admire Chen Changzhen's daring to enter the forest to look for the tiger, and felt sympathy for each other.

Although the government of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly issued orders not to allow people to keep slaves, it did not stop the ban. If the master became angry, his life might not be saved, so Xiao Qinhu volunteered to shoulder the responsibility for the mistake, hoping that Zhang Shun could face so many people. In this regard, we can restrain ourselves and reduce the punishment on Chen Changzhen.

After hearing this, Chen Changzhen agreed. He always claimed to be a hero, how could he let others suffer on his behalf, not to mention that this incident originally started because of his own ambition to win. So he quickly said: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Xiao, and this person is not a subordinate of my lord, so why should I punish this person? Changzhi does things half-heartedly, so he should be in this disaster."

"Please stop saying a few words. My lord is still bleeding. Whoever has the hemostatic medicine in his hand should come over and bandage it." Taoist Master Ma didn't allow them to argue, so he quickly came over and pulled Zhang Shun's clothes.

Zhang Shun took off his shirt, and everyone saw that his left chest and right arm had been scratched several times by tigers. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep, and the skin on his back was also scratched. They were all flesh wounds. It looks like Zhang Shun's upper body is covered in blood, but in fact a considerable part of it was sprayed from the tiger's mouth.

Everyone present was either skilled in martial arts or people who traveled around the world. They had some medicine for bruises and bruises, but they lacked the golden medicine to stop bleeding. Taoist Master Ma was about to ask if anyone knew if there was a doctor nearby. At this time, Xiao Qinhu came up and said, "I have Jin Chuang Baiyao, you can use it first." After that, he handed over one. Dark brown pottery bottle.
