Chapter 139 The feeling of rapid heartbeat
The two men stuffed the prey into their backpacks and then jumped onto the big tree.
There is not only a small tree hole on the big tree, but also a big tree hole. If two people are not fat, they can squeeze in it.
only……
like……
It's really a bit crowded.
Gu Xiaoxi hung the backpack in a place with many leaves, and the two of them squeezed into the tree hole.
Neither of them knew whether it was because of the narrow space, but they felt their breathing quicken.
Bang bang bang!
The feeling of a rapid heartbeat.
Both of them wanted to talk, but the footsteps were getting closer, so they couldn't open their mouths.
There are many small holes in the tree, through which you can see what is happening nearby.
Several hunters ran all the way with bows and arrows on their backs, and finally stopped at the foot of the cave.
"Damn it! How could there be a big tiger here? It almost killed me!"
"I told you before, don't climb too high, otherwise it won't be us eating our meat, but others will eat our meat."
"Stop talking nonsense, take a break, and go down the mountain."
Several people ran out of breath and kept looking at the forest that Ye Lixuan had just been to.
When Ye Lixuan heard this, he wanted to look over, but the two were facing each other. Gu Xiaoxi could tilt her head and see the situation below through the small hole next to her, but Ye Lixuan was looking in another direction.
"A few days ago, I heard someone went to the hill over there and was nearly killed by a bear. I thought I'd get something here, but I ended up losing my prey before I could escape."
"What's more important, life or meat? Idiot!"
"Life is important, meat is important, otherwise we wouldn't risk our lives to come to this damn place."
"Okay, let's go!"
After a while of talking, they finally came to their senses and started walking down the mountain.
Chirp chirp!
The little pheasant started calling in the bushes nearby.
Gu Xiaoxi was afraid that these little things would expose their hiding place, so she threw them into the bushes nearby.
Someone suddenly stopped and looked back, and saw three little pheasants in the bushes. He smiled and wanted to take them away.
Awooo...
When Ye Lixuan saw that these guys wanted to take away the chicks he gave to his child, he roared like a tiger.
These people had already been scared out of their wits. When they heard the whistling sound, they ran down the mountain.
After waiting for those people to run away, Gu Xiaoxi wanted to get out of the cave, but found that he was a little short. It was no problem for him to climb out by himself, but it was too crowded in there, so he had to ask someone for help.
"I'll help you!" Ye Lixuan said and picked up Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi felt strange but did not refuse, because if she didn't go out, Ye Lixuan couldn't go out either.
Leaving Ye Lixuan's warm embrace, she crawled out of the tree hole and pulled Ye Lixuan again.
After Ye Lixuan came out of the tree hole, he exhaled heavily and took a breath of fresh air.
However, before they could jump down from the tree, a white tiger with an arrow stuck in its body ran out of the woods.
After running a few steps, the white tiger fell into a pool of blood.
Gu Xiaoxi looked carefully and found that the white tiger's belly was moving.
"This white tiger is pregnant." she said in surprise.
"Are you going to deliver a tiger?" Ye Lixuan asked in surprise.
When the white tiger heard someone talking, he raised his head and roared a few more times.
When the hunters who came down the mountain heard the shocking tiger roar, they ran away scrambling.
The white tiger cried out in pain, and its voice became weak at the end.
Seeing that the white tiger was completely unable to move, Gu Xiaoxi jumped down from the tree.
Ye Lixuan also jumped down from the tree and stepped forward to hold Gu Xiaoxi, fearing that the woman would act impulsively.
Ouch...
When the white tiger saw the two humans approaching, he tried to speak louder, but his voice was extremely hoarse.
Gu Xiaoxi slowly approached and found a small thing wriggling under the white tiger.
A little white tiger the size of a fist, with its eyes still closed, was baring its teeth and roaring.
The sound was so soft, just like that of a kitten, and it made people want to pick up the little thing.
"Don't go over there, the white tiger is protecting its cub." Ye Lixuan saw Cuihua was about to pick up the little white tiger and pulled her back.
Gu Xiaoxi patted his hands and told him to calm down.
Awooooooo…
She also roared a few times.
The white tiger seemed to understand what Gu Xiaoxi meant, and finally lowered its head, which had been raised high.
Gu Xiaoxi took out a piece of cloth from her body, walked forward to wipe the little tiger cub, and then carefully looked at the condition of the white tiger.
The white tiger was seriously injured, and it was not easy for her to give birth to this tiger cub.
"Don't worry, I will take care of the child." She touched the white tiger's head.
The white tiger slowly closed its eyes.
Ye Lixuan looked at Gu Xiaoxi in surprise and said, "You can actually speak animal language?"
Um!
Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
Because she had lived in the mountains since she was a child, her master taught her animal language when she was very young. However, she was too lazy to use the magic medicine given by her master when she went hunting.
Ye Lixuan frowned after hearing this. He remembered that Gu Xiaoxi could also speak animal language, which was taught by the old man.
Do they know the same things?
"I feel like I have a connection with the tigress. Let's find a place to bury it?" After saying that, Gu Xiaoxi wrapped up the tiger cub, poured out the prey from the backpack, and temporarily put the tiger cub into the backpack.
Ye Lixuan did not object. He went to find some vines, tied up the prey and put them in a tree hole. Then he came over and tied up the tigress with vines and dragged her towards the forest ahead to avoid getting covered in blood.
Gu Xiaoxi found a good place, took out a hoe and started digging a hole.
The soil here was relatively soft, so Ye Lixuan found a stick, broke it, and used the sharp end to help dig the hole.
The two men had good physical strength and dug the hole quickly. After digging the hole, they put the white tiger in it, covered it with soil and buried it.
After finishing the white tiger, Ye Lixuan took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Gu Xiaoxi: "I'll give you a hundred taels first, and I'll give you the rest later."
"When can you give me the ten thousand taels?" Gu Xiaoxi was most concerned about the money.
Compared to ten thousand taels, four hundred taels is just a small amount of money.
"That's not that fast. It takes time to hand in the things. It will take several months to go back and forth." Ye Lixuan made up an excuse.
It’s not that he was reluctant to give up the money, but he was worried that if he gave her a large sum of money, the woman’s attitude towards him would be different.
After all, ten thousand taels of silver can also buy a house and a car here.
Now that her life is better, what if she wants to get married?
His affairs have not been settled yet, so even if he wanted to marry him, he would not dare to take the risk.
However, Gu Xiaoxi felt that communication was not well developed in that era, and the fastest way to send a message was to ride a horse, so it was not surprising that it would take several months to go back and forth.
However, with this one hundred taels, I feel more secure and am not so panicked.
"Okay, I believe you won't go back on your word. It's almost time for me to go down the mountain." Gu Xiaoxi dusted off his hands and walked out of the woods with a backpack on his back.
Ye Lixuan didn't want to leave at all. He had finally arranged everything and wanted to spend a good day with her.
His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly remembered something and quickly chased after him.
