Chapter 37 Jingyang Gang Sanying Fights Tigers
The group left Yanggu County and traveled south for more than 30 miles to Jingyanggang. Dozens of hunters were guarding there. The public pressure on County Magistrate Su caused too much public opinion because the tiger was eating people. After a long time, he could not catch him, and he accidentally lost his official position. If the great career in this small county is damaged, wouldn't it be unjust to die?
County Magistrate Su said: "How many men are Erlang needed? These hunters will be dispatched by you."
"Just need a hunter who knows where the tiger is moving, and there is no need for anything else." Wu Song said. Jingyanggang is so huge that it is difficult to find if you don't know where the tiger is. If it is a carpet-style search, it will probably be the year of the monkey and horse.
An old hunter immediately volunteered to come out and was willing to lead the way.
The county magistrate warmed three glasses of wine from the small hotel next to him and said, "Erlang, drink this cup full to enhance its appearance."
Wu Song said: "Please keep the wine, I will come when I go."
The group of four went up the hill. The hunter was not as good as Zhang Ergou's hunting dog, but he also had his own way. When he came to the tiger's general activity area, he took out a big rooster and kept slapping it. The chicken was beaten and clattered. After a while, he heard the sound of wind in the deep forest. A tiger walked out with a cat step and swaggering.
The hunter was frightened and hurriedly said, "Everyone, come up to the tree."
Li Kui cursed and cursed: "You coward, it's useless. You can go up by yourself."
Li Kui, holding a flying axe in both hands, yelled at the tiger: "Big cat, come here quickly and let your black grandfather cut your head."
The tiger was so depressed that he was despised by himself. He immediately shouted and rushed up quickly, and accelerated for only five or six seconds by a hundred meters.
Wu Song bent his bow like the moon, aimed at the tiger's head, and shot on the tiger's shoulder. The tiger had eaten so many people, but he had never suffered any loss. He rushed over with a whimper. At a distance of dozens of meters, Wu Song threw the bow and arrow and went to get the flying axe. At this time, Li Kui's pair of flying axes had already flew over, one of which hit the tiger's belly, and the other one fell apart. Wu Song's flying axe hit the hind leg. At this time, the tiger had already pounced on it and headed straight for Li Kui. Li Kui did not dodge or dodge, and the big axe slashed at the tiger's facade. The tiger was frightened. Is this a human being? Who wouldn't be afraid of using a big axe to chop on his face? The tiger had no choice but to change his moves in the air and hit Li Kui's big axe with his tiger palm. In an instant, Li Kui knocked away the big axe with his right hand.
The tiger wanted to pounce forward again, but suddenly realized why it couldn't move. When he turned around, he saw a tall man grabbing its tail.
The tiger turned around and wanted to bite it. The man lifted his tail and got up.
Wu Song was shocked by the side. Luo Ping was really born with divine power. The tiger with four or five hundred pounds got up seven or eight times, and finally shouted: "You go out for me."
With a bang, the tiger fell heavily to the ground. Before the tiger got up, Li Kui put away the axe and fell, cutting off half of the tiger's head, and red and white flowed all over the ground. Even Li Kui's clothes were covered with tiger blood.
Li Kui said regretfully: "My brother has dirty clothes for the new work."
Wu Song said: "It's good that the mission is completed. I'll wait and go back and report."
The hunter climbing the tree was stunned. It was a long time to say that it was actually a scene from Wu Song firing an arrow to Li Kui killing the tiger with an axe for only a few minutes.
Li Kui shouted: "The bird man hiding in the tree, cut a few sticks quickly to carry the big tiger."
The hunter quickly cut off a few sticks with a hatchet, and carried the big tiger down to Jingyanggang with Luo Ping.
County Magistrate Su was walking back and forth. He was very anxious, afraid that something would happen again, so that he would sit down as the county magistrate.
A yamen runner shouted, "Look, look, tiger, tiger."
County Magistrate Su was frightened and looked up and saw the hunter and Luo Ping carrying a tiger down the mountain. The tiger's body was more than two and a half meters long, its tail was more than one meter long, and its spotted tiger pattern was very scary. Even if it died, it would be hideous and terrifying.
The county magistrate was overjoyed and said, "Erlang is a real man, and the wine is not cold yet. In ancient times, Guanyu killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, but now Erlang beats tigers with warm wine."
Wu Song said: "This time I killed the tiger was a contribution from my three brothers, not Wu Song alone."
County Magistrate Su brought the wine glass to toast the three of them. After drinking, Wu Song said, "Sir, I still have something to do. I'm going to drive to Jeju Prefecture."
County Magistrate Su said: "Erlang's righteousness is poor and has made new contributions to the people to eliminate harm. This is a thousand taels of silver, which is a reward from my Yanggu County Government and the wealthy families in the city."
The magistrate of Su County is so generous, several times more generous than Lord Li of Qinghe County. Of course, Yanggu County is larger and Qinghe County is smaller, and the fiscal revenue is also different.
Since it was a reward, it was the money you should get. I was not polite immediately and accepted it as usual. A tiger was worth hundreds of cents, so I naturally didn't want to throw it away and put it in a big cart to take it back.
There were fifty hunters, and Wu Song took 100 taels out, and each of them was divided into two taels. Then he bid farewell to the magistrate Su County, and rushed to Jeju Prefecture without whipping down his saddle.
Because Wu Song didn't delay long in Jingyanggang, he caught up with the convoy without long. The group of people rushed to the wilderness and ate food at noon. In the evening, he rushed to the Tongda Dachexing Shuibo Shop to rest.
Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi and others were very happy to see Wu Song and said, "My brother is going to Jeju Prefecture again in just a few days, and the business is about to open up."
Wu Song said: "This is all taken care of by the owner of Hu. This time I went there to pick up goods and bought a good horse for you and they both. You can go and choose it."
Second, I was very happy. Liu Tang chose a tall horse, and Ruan Xiaoqi asked for a shorter iron-hoofed horse and chose a mount. Liu Tang knew how to ride a horse, but Ruan Xiaoqi didn't, so he needed to practice more.
The next day, Li Kui and Luo Ping stayed at the store in Xingjieshi Village of Tongda Dache, and the guards did not leave half of them. After all, they had already arrived at the place, and too many people were stunning. Before noon, they came to Jeju City. There were many nearby wharfs, and it was difficult to find those who were not familiar with the path. At this time, the shopkeeper of Hujiazhuang commanded the road and soon arrived at the delivery wharf. The business had been negotiated long ago, and the final payment was short. It took time to unload and load the ship. All of these were led by Wu Zhuang. Wu Song, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi, Mao Hai and other four people came to the teahouse not far from the wharf to have tea. In the winter, the tea owner used firewood to burn tea. The coachman who came and went to drink a big bowl and threw a copper plate at random.
When the boss saw the business coming, he said, "We wait for the small shop to have a rough tea, so I hope the guests will not blame him."
Wu Song said, "Just just serve tea, we are here to deliver goods to the wharf."
Ruan Xiaoqi sighed: "I haven't said these words many times before. Why do I say that when I come here today?"
Liu Tang smiled and said, "This boss saw us riding horses and each brought swords and swords. He was afraid that we would like to despise this shop with bad tea, so he said this."
