Chapter 96
This sentence scared Jiang Cheng very much. He immediately stood up and stayed away from the big bad wolf and said, "Pingzi, why didn't you say it earlier? You scared me to death!"
Zheng Xiaohu and Zhang Jian were also shocked. They thought the big bad wolf was a native dog just now, but now they heard that it was a wolf, so they were scared to hide from afar.
Seeing the three of them's fearful expressions, Mu Ping smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, don't be afraid. The big bad wolf doesn't bite people. He is very human. Go, the big bad wolf, go and lick Brother Jiang."
Mu Ping reached out and pointed at Jiang Cheng. The big bad wolf immediately rushed to Jiang Cheng, threw him to the ground, and licked him hard at the head.
This scared Jiang Cheng very much. The big bad wolf kept steaming in his mouth, and a smell of fishy smell came out of his breath, which almost made Jiang Cheng faint.
But soon he was no longer afraid. After playing with it for a while, Jiang Cheng found that the big bad wolf was indeed very human. It could understand human gestures. It would go wherever you stretch out your fingers. It was even more obedient than a dog. When Zheng Xiaohu and Zhang Jian saw that the wolf was so obedient, they were busy playing with it.
Soon the three of them became much more familiar with each other. Jiang Cheng took them to the threshing ground to meet with the old village chief. He found that the old village chief actually had a long gun, a snakeskin bag on his shoulder, and a wood tree fork in his hand. Jiang Cheng asked in confusion: "Grandpa, are you still catching snakes?"
The old village chief laughed and said, "Catch it, there are everything in this forest. If you encounter something good, you can get a lot of money when you catch it!"
Mu Ping, who was standing beside him, also said: "Of course, Grandpa caught a lot of snakes back then, and the snake soup he made was given to the wounded soldiers of the Red Army soldiers to replenish their bodies. He is a good snake catcher."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help asking, "How old is grandpa today?"
"I don't know much either. I heard from my dad that grandpa is almost ninety this year. You said yes, grandpa."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but respect the old village chief. He didn't expect that such an ordinary old village chief was actually a revolutionary predecessor and helped the Red Army fight against white bandits.
"Grandpa, how old were you when you followed the Red Army to fight Chiang Kai-shek?" Jiang Cheng asked.
The old village chief walked in front with a long gun and said, "I was almost ten years old that year, and I don't remember it very much. At that time, the Soviet area was surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek and like an iron barrel. Chairman Mao had no military power. The Red Army was commanded by Li De and Bo Gu. As a result, the Red Army suffered a great loss. The soldiers were seriously injured. Many soldiers were recovering from injuries on our side, so I still remember some of them."
Now Jiang Cheng understood. It turned out that my grandfather was only ten years old when he was encircled for five times. Then this year, he was really ninety years old. But no matter how he looked, he was only sixty years old. He was really strong!
The old village chief took Jiang Cheng and four people and wolves into the primeval forest behind the village. After walking in the mountains for three hours, he finally found some traces of prey. The old village chief squatted on the ground and looked at the footprints, and laughed and said, "Big grandson, you have a good time. There is a big wild boar not far ahead. It is estimated that it is three or four hundred kilograms. Let's see if you can eat wild boar meat tonight."
Jiang Cheng and his friends were excited when they heard this. They had been walking on the mountain road for several hours just now, and their legs were almost broken. They didn't even see the shadow of a rabbit. They thought they would have to return empty-handed today. They didn't expect that there would be traces so soon. They were still a big wild boar. They couldn't help but feel excited and their soles were also strong.
The old village chief picked up the long gun and put on bullets and gunpowder, and let the big bad wolf sniff the smell on the ground. When the big bad wolf smelled the smell on the ground, he rushed to the front of the team and ran away. When everyone saw it, they hurriedly followed.
After running for nearly an hour, everyone was so tired that they were out of breath. The big bad wolf finally stopped. Everyone stopped with the big bad wolf, and they saw it keep turning around a big tree stump.
Jiang Cheng and his friends ran to the big bad wolf, looked at the big tree stump, and found that the tree was very big, and it was estimated that three people would only be able to hug each other. There was a hole at the root of the tree, and the entrance was half a person. Since the sunlight could not shine in the forest, the hole inside looked black. The big bad wolf was constantly screaming at the black hole.
The old village chief took the long gun and looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, then turned around the area of the big tree stump. After seeing a footprint on the ground, he immediately shouted to everyone: "No, there are big bugs nearby, everyone should hurry up and get up the tree."
This sentence was like a thunder sound on the ground, and everyone was shocked. Jiang Cheng reacted the fastest. He picked up Mu Ping and pushed him up a not-so-big tree next to him, and then climbed up himself.
The old village chief pulled Zheng Xiaohu and the others to another tree next to him. Sure enough, just as everyone climbed up the tree, a South China tiger with yellow and white eyes jumped out from below.
As soon as the South China tiger appeared, it ran towards the big tree stump, ignoring the big bad wolf next to it.
The big bad wolf was still a little afraid when he saw the tiger coming. He bared his teeth and stared at the tiger fiercely, glaring and retreating. After a while, he retreated under the tree where Jiang Cheng and Mu Ping were hiding, and made a defensive posture.
Everyone found that the South China tiger had come and ignored everything and walked straight into the black hole of the tree stump. After a while, a small tiger came out with it in his mouth. He ignored the big bad wolf under the tree, walked past it carelessly, and then disappeared into the dense forest.
After a while, when everyone saw that the tiger had not come back, they all went down the trees one after another. The old village chief rolled up the cigarette and said, "Fortunately it is full, otherwise we will be in danger. Don't worry, it will not come back today!"
Jiang Cheng asked in confusion: "Grandpa, how did you know that it is full and will not come back."
The old village chief smiled and said, "You don't know this. You guys were scared just now and didn't pay attention to the belly of the big bug. If you look carefully, you will find that its abdomen is bulging, which means that it has had a full meal somewhere else just now.
The big bug will not eat people unless it is extremely hungry. And it has taken away its children just now, which means it must have found a better place to live, so I said it will not come back today."
Everyone suddenly realized it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They all fell to the ground and wiped their cold sweat. Just now, Zheng Xiaohu and Zhang Jian were scared to death when they saw the tiger's legs. If it weren't for the old village chief, they might have to have had close contact with the tiger.
The old village chief used a branch to open the hole of the big stump and took a photo with a lighter. Sure enough, he saw a black wild boar inside. He had died and his neck was covered with blood. It seemed that he had been bitten to death by the South China tiger just now.
"Come on, grandson, tie the pig up, let's eat wild boar meat tonight." The old village chief greeted several people and started working.
Zheng Xiaohu has regained his courage now, but he is still a little scared, so he quickly took out the rope and tied up the black wild boar a few times. The old village chief cut off a few big branches as sticks. Several young and strong men quickly carried the wild boar and rushed back to the way.
