From Jiu Shu's world

There was a coughing sound, as if the lungs were about to be coughed out, but this time, Granny Yama no longer wiped the coughed up blood with her hands, but let it flow from the corner of her mouth.

She shook her head and smiled happily. It's been ten years. Anyway, this matter has a result for her.

She has been hesitating whether to bluff Henry Zhang, and even handed over the choice to Henry Zhang himself.But after so many years of guarding, I finally met a person with real skills. If he was, it was really possible to solve that matter.

Henry Zhang naturally didn’t know Mother-in-law Yama’s muttering to himself after he left, he walked along this path for a long time, the surrounding trees were towering, and most of the sunlight had long been covered, leaving out spots of light, so that the woods would not It’s so dim, but Henry Zhang still feels the unique shade from the woods.

The more Henry Zhang walked, the more he felt that the road that Grandma Yama had pointed to him seemed to be wrong, as if he was walking deep into the mountain.

But Henry Zhang is a young man after all, so he is more interested in this way, and he doesn’t plan to look back, at worst, he will cross this medicine mountain directly, and go in the direction pointed by Linghe.Anyway, the line segment between two points is the shortest, so what is the best way to go?

Henry Zhang was thinking wildly while walking, and suddenly heard a lot of movement in the woods ahead, as if there was something big there.

"Ow"

A roar resounded through the mountains, Henry Zhang's expression changed, and he said, "Is this a tiger?"

The movement in the forest in front was actually caused by a tiger, so what can fight with the tiger?Henry Zhang walked over quickly, approached the forest, slowed down, and quietly pushed aside the bushes to see, the good guy is really a "fight between dragons and tigers".

In a small open space surrounded by bushes, a large python with a black and bright copper-colored piebald python opened its mouth wide, its fangs exposed, showing a fierce look.It raised its head and hissed, threatening the tiger in front of it. Looking closely, its body was seven or eight meters long and as thick as a human thigh. It was so ferocious that it frightened the tiger in front of it.

Henry Zhang looked to the other side, and the tiger looked really pitiful at first glance. Although it was not skinny, the bones were faintly visible under the skin, which could be called skinny.Look at his fur is not very smooth, but dirty, with large and small, old and new wounds all over, the minions are not intact and there are many missing.This tiger is so mixed up, if ordinary people really feel sorry for him.

But Henry Zhang looked at it and secretly said something bad, I'm afraid that there must be a death between the python and the tiger, and the big python may not be able to win.As for the reason, there is only one. This tiger is a vicious tiger that has experienced many battles and is extremely hungry. Its ferocity almost shows through its eyes.

Only then did Henry Zhang understand why the tiger would fight to the death with the boa constrictor. If the animals in the wild, no matter how strong or weak, live their lives carefully, and try to avoid fighting with evenly matched beasts, for fear of being injured and not being able to find food Die in nature.

But this hungry tiger is clearly fighting to the death, if the boa constrictor does not die or escapes, it is afraid that it will die.

"Roar"

With a roar of the tiger, the hungry tiger attacked first, bent its front paws, and exerted force on its hind legs, which really responded to the evil tiger's pounce.Not to be outdone, the boa constrictor almost swept the tiger with its long tail.

This round, both of them made moves together, evenly split.

But looking closely at the ensuing fight, it was clear that the tiger had the upper hand.It's no wonder that the tiger's figure is nimble, and every pounce, kick, scratch, and bite is a threat.On the other hand, except for the occasional sweeping of the tail, there is only one move left by the boa constrictor, which is entanglement.All of a sudden, it was the tiger's claws that repeatedly pulled out the python's mouth.

But Henry Zhang didn’t think this meant that the tiger would definitely win. You must know that the strongest move of the python is an entanglement. If it seizes the opportunity to entangle it, it will end in death.

Seeing the two ferocious beasts fighting vigorously, Henry Zhang came towards him more and more, and moved quietly to the bushes on the other side, and opened the bushes to have a look.Henry Zhang was shocked: “Is there anyone?”

There was a woman lying on the ground behind the bushes, dressed in blue cloth, with a small basket around her waist, and through the bamboo basket, you could see the green medicinal herbs inside.But the most conspicuous thing on this woman's body was the wound of more than ten centimeters on the shoulder. Blood continued to ooze out, staining the blue clothing on the shoulder in a dark color.

Henry Zhang quickly squatted down and checked the wound on his shoulder. While watching, his right hand turned into a sword finger, and he drew a stop talisman in the void. First, he must stop the bleeding from the trauma. This woman may have been bleeding for a while, and her lips are already It turned white, and when he lifted her up, he faintly felt the temperature loss from her arms.Fortunately, Henry Zhang found out, otherwise he would die in Huangquan after a while.

Henry Zhang was treating a strange woman, looking for her medicine basket to see if he could make a suitable medicine.But the battle on the other side of the bush suddenly came to an end.

The hungry tiger originally wanted to rush over to catch the boa constrictor as quickly as before, but it never thought that its physical strength would decline after not eating for a long time, and its reaction would also slow down.The boa constrictor seized the opportunity and bit him on the neck.

As soon as the snake bites, the whole body of the big snake springs up like a spring and instantly curls up the hungry tiger. The cracking sound of the bones can be heard, and the hungry tiger can't cry at all, and the mouth and nose are bleeding, just like that. .

After the python wrapped the tiger to death, it did not swallow it immediately, but crawled towards the bush where Henry Zhang was.The boa constrictor approached silently little by little, while Henry Zhang was still concentrating on treating the strange woman, as if he smelled the smell of people, the boa constrictor suddenly accelerated, and it was about to get into the bushes.

"rustle"

A slight sound came into Henry Zhang’s ears, Henry Zhang looked aside, suddenly remembered the two fighting beasts just now, picked up the strange woman in an instant, and jumped aside without caring about the medicine basket where the medicinal materials were scattered on the ground.

"brush"

The huge snake head pounced on Henry Zhang’s position just now, but fortunately Henry Zhang avoided it, otherwise the end would not be much better than the tiger just now.Henry Zhang hugged the strange woman and looked at the python with unkind eyes.The boa constrictor missed, and when he looked up and saw Henry Zhang still holding a woman, he seemed even more angry, and with a bow, he was about to shoot half of his body at Henry Zhang.

For some reason, Henry Zhang had already summoned the ghost stag beetle in his hand, and when he was about to let it out to kill the python, there was movement in his arms.

"Long Sang, don't..."

With a weak cry, he stopped the python, and his posture of preparing to attack eased for a while, looking at the strange woman in Henry Zhang's arms.

Henry Zhang stared, and looked at the woman and the python a few times, it seemed that the woman and the python were together.

Chapter 33 Deep Mountains and Valleys

The woman in her arms woke up, Henry Zhang quietly released the ghost stag armor to guard against the python, and lowered his head and asked, "How do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"

The woman's eyes caught a glimpse of the herbal medicine applied to her shoulders, she felt the wound slightly, and she was still able to move.Then he shook his head lightly: "Thank you brother for saving your life, the wound doesn't hurt anymore."

Hearing the woman calling his little brother, Henry Zhang couldn’t help but look down at the woman, it turned out that he really didn’t pay attention.The strange woman fell to the ground before, with her face facing the other side. Henry Zhang didn’t have time to see what she looked like, but now he saw that she was about 30 years old.Although she looked pretty, the slight crow's feet at the corners of her eyebrows could tell that she was a mature woman.

The woman seemed to be struggling to speak because of her injuries, and she paused for a while before continuing: "Brother, Long Sang was worried about me and attacked you just now, please don't blame him."

Henry Zhang glanced at the peaceful python Longsang, and shook his head: "It's okay, but you don't have to call me brother, my name is Henry Zhang..."

The woman giggled and said: "Brother Henry Zhang, my name is Caifeng, thank you for your life-saving grace."

Henry Zhang was a little helpless, is there any difference between this name and just now?But I also understand a little bit, seeing that Caifeng is dressed as a Miao woman, with a cheerful and enthusiastic personality, this party has experienced life and death crises, and it is true that she can still laugh.

Seeing that she woke up, Henry Zhang put her under the tree and sat against the tree.When putting it down, Henry Zhang could clearly feel that Caifeng’s tense muscles had relaxed, as if he was relieved.Henry Zhang smiled secretly. It turns out that on the surface, she is warm and cheerful, but she is a conservative girl in her heart. She is really a standard Miao girl.

Henry Zhang didn’t like her, but just found it interesting.After putting Caifeng away, Henry Zhang applied some herbal medicines that were not applied just now, and sat down by himself.And Caifeng beckoned, calling the boa constrictor named Longsang to her side.Henry Zhang asked: "Sister Caifeng, why did you, a girl, suffer such serious injuries in this deep mountain and old forest?"

Cai Fengfu caressed Long Sang like a lover, and then said with a smile: "What else can we do? People from the Herb Mountain Village, of course, came to this Herb Mountain to collect medicine, but I didn't expect to meet a tiger today." Said, Caifeng murmured to Longsang again: "You saved me again."

It was a bit strange for Henry Zhang to look at this person with a python, but thinking that Miaojiang women are good at gu, raising this snake seems to be nothing.

After Caifeng finished speaking to Longsang, she raised her head and asked, "Brother Henry Zhang, how did you get here? No one has come to our Yaoshan for many years."

Henry Zhang replied: "Someone told me that I could go back to the main road by walking this way, so I found it. It's just that it seems to go deeper and deeper."

Henry Zhang’s light tone did not show any shame of being cheated. He found something was wrong not long after he followed the path into the mountain, but he didn’t look back. He wanted to know what purpose Grandma Yama had for pointing him to this path.

Caifeng giggled and said: "It seems that my brother was deceived by someone, so what is the name of the person who deceived you?"

Henry Zhang was teased by Caifeng, but he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's a mother-in-law named Yama, do you know her?" Henry Zhang also just said something jokingly, and he didn't expect Caifeng to answer him.

But Caifeng fell silent for a while after hearing the name, and said after a while: "So it's Aunt Yama, she...where is she now? Still...okay? "

“You know her?” Henry Zhang turned his head in surprise.

Caifeng nodded, looking at Henry Zhang, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

Henry Zhang said: "She lives in the inn at the foot of Yaoshan, is she from your village?"

Caifeng was silent for a while after listening to Henry Zhang's words, and said to herself: "It turns out...it turns out that Aunt has always been there, but..."

What Caifeng might want to ask is why Granny Yama didn't come back, but she thought of the situation in her village. Such a horrible thing happened, who can really stay?Not to mention the distance from the foot of Yaoshan Mountain to the stockade is tens of miles away, and there is no one to protect him, and he is afraid that he will be caught by wild animals halfway.

As for Zhang Xuan, could it be that Grandma Yama deliberately lured him here?Is it for the village?Caifeng raised his head and said: "This road is not on the main road, you can go back, the mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and there are many wild animals, it is very dangerous. It is too late to go back now. If... If you can, please don't blame Ama Yama , she just wants to help our village."

Henry Zhang didn’t answer, but asked instead: “Oh, help your village? Is there something wrong with your village?”
