As all ancient fairy tales often say at the beginning: that was a long time ago. At that time, there were no guns. People used simple weapons, such as knives, forks, bows and arrows, to fight wild animals. People sometimes suffer when they meet fierce and cunning wild animals.
In a small county town full of mountains, forests and grass, people were in panic, and everyone was saying that tigers eat people. It turns out that the tiger disaster in this place has suddenly become serious, and people are often eaten by a fierce and cunning tiger. The funeral procession passed by in tears on the road. Adults and children who lost their loved ones in mourning and mourning are very sad and mournful because their loved ones died so miserably. Coffins are usually not a complete body, but only a head and an arm, some of which are only half of the body. Probably leftovers from tigers, which people picked up in barren hills or streams.
News came from the East Village: "A woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood and never came back. The next day, everyone knocked on the gong to find the body, and found the body under a big stone, only half of it was left. His wife cried to jump into the well, and everyone advised her to drag it, so she didn't die. "
It is said in Nishimura that my grandfather was hungry for several days, regardless of whether he wolfed it down. When I am full, I think that I have no job and I don't know where to go at night. His face is full of sadness. The middle-aged man probably saw his predicament and asked, "Young man, are you interested in learning to shave your head?" No, you should live well for our children. "Craft? I can't make much money, but I'm still hungry. " News: "A tailor's wife went to fetch water from a mountain stream early in the morning, but was killed by a tiger." My face blurred when I carried it back with the door panel. It was dragged by the tiger for a long time and my thigh was eaten. "
News came from Nancun: "The old man in the village was playing the night shift with a bamboo tube, and suddenly he had something on his shoulder. He thought some acquaintance was joking with him and tried to push him away with his hand. Unexpectedly, with a click, his arm was bitten off by a tiger, causing him to roll in pain. There happened to be a pond by the road. He fell down and the water in the pool was dyed red. Fortunately, he didn't die. "
News came from Beicun: "We are even worse here. Tigers often flee to the edge of the village to eat people. At night, just after dark, people dare not ask, "Why is your master so unhappy today?" "The door is closed. Early in the morning, you can often see tiger dung at the edge of the village. Tiger dung is easy to identify. It often contains the hair of wild animals and sometimes human hair. Six people were killed in the village. One of them is Orion. "
The news spread more and more. The county organized a hunting party, but the tiger didn't catch it, and several hunters died. More and more people were killed, fifty or sixty people. People everywhere are even more flustered, and some even moved away. Cattle carts loaded with children's diapers and feces skirts dragged the family across the post road.
In the worst-hit northern village, everyone is more eager to eliminate pesticides. The village head called everyone to discuss and decided to raise funds to offer a reward to visit the hero who killed the tiger and remove pests for the people. When the villages heard the news, they all agreed. They all actively sponsored and prepared to give a reward to the hero who could kill the tiger.
A clever young man was sent to look for the outstanding Mr. Bai, and asked his disciples to throw a small coin to the gangster and continue to smoke his hookah with his eyes closed. Orion, he walked all the way to the neighboring county.
People in neighboring counties were surprised to hear that there was such a serious tiger disaster not far from them. They told the young people, "There are many mountains here, too. Tigers used to eat people, but they have improved in the past twenty or thirty years. We beat tigers here, and all the tigers were wiped out by him. He fights all kinds of wild animals, but he is especially good at fighting tigers. What a tiger of a few hundred pounds, seeing him is like a mouse seeing a cat, you can go to him. "
The clever young man asked, "What is Zhang's real name? People say, "He has a real name. But because he is good at fighting tigers, everyone calls him' Zhang Fighting Tigers', but his real name has gradually disappeared. "The clever young man asked where Zhang lived, and people told him that he lived in Qingfeng Village, and there were two tall cypresses at the door, which was a symbol of the Zhang family.
The young man looked for it according to the address, and sure enough, he saw a house next to Qingfeng Village, with two towering cypresses at the door.
The young man knocked at the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw a thin man who opened it ten years ago. Wang Ren is a great young man. He got up early in the morning and went to the market in the city. He passed by the Woods behind the Buddhist temple and vaguely noticed the baby crying. He is young and curious. He took a closer look, and it turned out to be a newborn child. The king wondered whose parents were so cruel that they even abandoned their own flesh and blood. Vulgar: birds eat milk, tigers pity young tigers. This family is worse than animals! Save a life, accumulate some virtue, and maybe even send a good messenger to the underworld. Wang Ren's mouth is too big and the bag is too small. He picked up the child and crashed with a clash, dropping a dozen high heels and a piece of paper. He picked it up and looked at it. It said the child's birthday and gave the rescuer twelve taels of silver as a reward. The old man, his hair is getting grayer and grayer, and he has a hunchback. He has an axe in his hand, and the front end of the axe is dripping with water, which shows that he is grinding the axe. There is a bucket beside the grindstone in the yard.
The young man thought, could this man be a tiger fighter? Maybe a gust of wind can blow him down!
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Zhang. I
"Xiao Zhang, what do you want with me?" The old man said.
"Excuse me, can you also hunt?"
The old man smiled. He said, "Do I look like a hunter? Hunters are dignified and crouching people. Like me, a mountain pig can knock me down. How can I hunt? "
The young man looked at the old man over and over again and said thoughtfully, "Maybe I made a mistake. I'm sorry to bother you. "
He stepped back and the old man nodded humbly and closed the door.
"I must be in the wrong place. Zhang should be in another house. "
So he asked his neighbor again, and the neighbor smiled: "Zhang is the one with two big cypresses in front of the door!" Where is the second one! " Dr. Li inquired about his illness carefully and shook his head and said, "It's very serious. Take some medicine first! "
The young man thought about it, hesitated for a long time, as if he realized something, so he knocked on the old man's door for the second time.
The lean and hunched old man answered the door again, with an axe in his hand, which was still dripping. Obviously, he is continuing to sharpen his axe.
"There you go again. Who are you looking for? " The old man asked.
"I'm looking for Zhang. Are you Zhang?"
"What do you want with him?"
"Be sure to ask your family a lot of help! Tigers are rampant here, and dozens of people have been killed and eaten by tigers. The village specially sent me to visit and look for the tiger killer. "
"Then, please come and sit in the backyard!" The old man said.
The old man put down his axe and led the young man across the hall to the backyard. The sight of the backyard startled the young people. There are three fresh tiger skins, a basket of tiger bones and a dustpan. Stone is not like stone, and fruit is not like fruit. The youth asked:
"Excuse me, what is this?"
"This is tiger milk. The tiger's tongue has many thorns, so does the tiger. Tigers can lick water with their tongues, relying on these barbed thorns. However, it is difficult for a tigress to breastfeed a tiger. Therefore, the mother tiger's milk often flows on the big stones for the tiger to lick. "
Seeing this scene and hearing these words, the young man was convinced and told the old man what happened in his hometown sincerely and eagerly. Zhang listened, nodding, with tears in his eyes. The young man asked Zhang to forgive his skepticism when he first came in. The old man smiled and said, "This is not surprising. I often meet such people. People always think that people who do things have to have a posture and look. One night, the old abbot was killed. Fa Qing led the monks to report that a thief tried to steal the Buddha and harmed the abbot. The county magistrate knew that Faqing was a monk with a door on it. Whatever he says, he just said that a thief committed a crime and closed the case. In the war of words, I often simply refuse to admit that I am a hunter. Wouldn't this save a lot of unnecessary disputes? The important thing is that you can be really brave.
It doesn't matter whether others know you or not. "Words clever youth constantly nod. Originally, the young man wanted Zhang to go with him, but Zhang said he needed to wait for a little assistant. So, he appointed a time in three days, and he replied in the night star of the neighboring county: "Ningdu Zhongliang and Mrs. Zhu's husband have a meeting in Beicun. "
The clever young man went back to Beicun and described the fact that he invited a hero to fight the tiger and set a date to come. The village chief and everyone are very happy. On that day, people in Beicun slaughtered pigs, dogs, chickens and fish and prepared a sumptuous feast. Shortly after the preparatory work, the rain stopped outside, and Malone and his son still went to carry the body. The cave twists and turns, but fortunately, father and son often walk in the mountains, and put signposts wherever they go so as not to get lost. When they finished carrying the last body, it was already two hours later. Then, the body was put into the dug pit and carefully buried. The old man Malone also planted a few tall wormwood trees in front of the grave, which is regarded as evocation. Entertainment, tiger hero.
Young people visiting Hero Orion in neighboring counties only described the fact that fresh tiger skins hung in the backyard of the old man, but did not describe the appearance of the old man who killed the tiger. Because, now he thinks it is unnecessary to describe this.
Just as the village chief's hall was noisy and ready to hold a banquet, Zhang and a thin twelve-year-old child arrived. When people saw the invited tiger hero, it turned out to be like this: a hunchbacked, thin and gray-haired old man! A pale child is holding a dry food bag! They are probably reluctant to collect firewood! Maybe it's more appropriate for them to pick mushrooms! How can they shoot tigers!
The village chief received them reluctantly, with an expression of doubt and disappointment. People here can't help whispering:
"The hunchbacked old man can beat the tiger unless the tiger is drunk and asleep."
"Old old, small small, incredibly dare to flatter such a job! How dare you!
Some people don't talk, just squint at the old and young people with sarcasm in their eyes.
A few frivolous people, who once hunted, never dared to shoot tigers, came up and joked, "Brother, you have probably shot several foxes and badger pigs before. As for the smell of tigers, you probably haven't smelled them yet. "
Zhang doesn't seem to care about all this, and he doesn't answer those ridiculous questions. He said to the village chief, "I understand all the meanings in the hearts and words of many people here." I didn't come to you in person, you sent someone to invite me. Just now, on the road, we had eaten dry food in the spring and our stomachs were still full. Now we are not busy eating dinner. It's important to kill tigers. It's not too late to eat this meal again. "
The village head naturally agreed happily.
Such a bold "General Rooster, General Rooster! Throw down the mountain! Throw down the mountain! Thieves have come to steal the treasure. Kill him quickly! " Zida's guide showed them the way, followed by a group of people watching.
The farther you go into the mountains, the bigger the trees are and the more gloomy the weather is. Finally, I found tiger footprints and tiger feces. Zhang leaned down and measured the footprints of the tiger with his fingers, telling everyone that there is a tiger weighing more than 600 kilograms here. It's a tiger in this mountain, not a tiger in transit. The tiger's den is not far.
The gloomy scene in the mountains is frightening, and the people watching it are becoming more and more sparse. The rest of the people have climbed to Xiping, which is covered with sour clothes and rags, and stood at the back door of the county government to say goodbye to Kuang Jinhui. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, and seeing his best friend dressed like this, the trip is unpredictable, Kuang Jinhui is very unhappy. He wanted to arrange for several catchers to go together peacefully, but Ping dissuaded him. How bad your eyes are. He believes in his martial arts and is no match for ordinary people. Climb up the tree.
Zhang told the child a few words. A child's poem is a riddle, and its answer is "guess". According to legend, the guessing game began more than two thousand years ago. So, how did solve riddles on the lanterns become a lantern riddle again? Here's another story! Put your finger in your mouth, and suddenly there is a sound like a little tiger howling, which is getting louder and louder over and over again. A gust of wind blew away, a huge and fierce tiger appeared, and the child had already dodged. The hunchbacked old man has a sharp axe and axe in his hand. This night is Duffy's last night in Salt Town. He was about to go to bed when a man named Yang Feng found him and said, "I want you to take a box to Niujiaxiang in Hankou and give it to an old man named Mo Jing. I'll pay you twenty-two thousand dollars first and twenty-two thousand dollars later. " Face up and put it on your shoulder. His eyes are bright, but he is as calm as a stone. The tiger swooped down with a roar, the old man squatted slightly, his head tilted slightly, and the tiger pounced on the air. At that lightning moment, the old man's axe, face and body were immediately covered with deep red blood. People were shocked, but when they saw the tiger walking down the big locust tree in the west of the village, they wouldn't leave. He sat on the big millstone under the tree, opened the cloth pocket he was carrying, took out a lyre and began to talk about books. I have fallen to the ground and struggled, and I am going to die soon. When people went up to have a look, they found that the old man was not injured. His body and face were only spattered with tiger blood. As for the tiger, it has split a straight line from the throat to the chest and abdomen, and the wound goes deep into the internal organs, and the blood is deadly.
When people happily surrounded the old man and carried the dead tiger back, the wine and vegetables were still hot. At the banquet, Zhang told everyone that his father and grandfather were both killed by tigers. When his father died, he told him that tigers hurt people mainly by pouncing, so he made up his mind to practice the basic kung fu against tigers according to their nature. He practiced shaking his hair brush in front of his eyes without blinking, and he could climb nine people on his arm without moving. It is with this kind of kung fu that the tiger jumped up and used his own momentum to let the sharp axe cut its chest and abdomen deeply.
They listened to the natural admiration. After the party, he was told to stand still and take a sharp axe. Sure enough, nine people climbed up his arm, but they could not shake the old man's arm. People who once laughed at and doubted him realized that the old man really didn't know how many years of efforts it would take to make the tiger meet an axe and die instantly!
The old man finally killed all the local tigers in a few days, and his story was handed down from generation to generation in this mountainous area and even everywhere.
Even after the invention of rifles, people still remember and talk about these heroic hunters in ancient times from generation to generation. People praise their courage, calmness, strength and perseverance. Some people also know a truth through this story: if you master the basic skills and use them skillfully, you can create miracles.
Will there be such a brave hunter in the future? Yes Now there is a hunter in the world. He goes into the forest with a long sharp dagger. When the bear attacks, he throws a hat or clothes at it. According to the bear's character, people will stand up and catch what they throw. At this critical moment, the hunter stepped forward, inserted the dagger into his heart, jerked it down, cut open the bear's chest, and caused the bear to die suddenly. The hunter not only mastered the bear's character, but also possessed amazing courage and physical strength. They kept the legacy of the ancient heroes who fought tigers.
