Chapter 122 Zhou Sinian's Fear
At Liu Dazhu's house, lying on the heated kang, Mingdai was hugging a wooden box and smiling happily.
A box full of tiger bones!!
I couldn’t even see it in the last life, but this life it’s hers!
What a temptation this is for a doctor who has countless tiger bone prescriptions!
Only Mingdai herself could understand it, but others, such as Zhou Sinian, did not understand.
At this moment, he was standing alone on the ground, looking at the wooden box in Mingdai's hand from a distance, his brows tightly wrinkled, and he was unwilling to get on the kang no matter what.
Mingdai was just marveling at the scene and had no time to pay attention to him. Zhou Sinian watched her for a long time before slowly approaching her and sitting down on the kang, but he was still unwilling to go up.
Ming Dai checked carefully and found the tiger bones were well preserved. After confirming that there was no problem, she asked Zhou Sinian to help her move the box down. The temperature on the kang was too high, which was not conducive to the preservation of the tiger bones.
Zhou Sinian blinked and stepped back silently, expressing his unwillingness with his actions.
It was Liu Lai Fu who caught the box and put it on the ground.
Mingdai thought Zhou Sinian was a little strange, but there were many people at the scene, so she planned to go home and ask.
Before Mingdai and the others came, Auntie Huang had already given the money to her nephews, and now the two grown men were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Mingdai was in no hurry to leave. She took Zhou Sinian to sit on the kang, eating hazelnuts and listening to Aunt Huang and her nephew talking.
Auntie Huang touched her two nephews' red faces with concern and said, "It's so cold, how did you get down here? Did it just snow in the mountains?"
Black Tiger smiled innocently: "He waded down in the snow, wearing leather pants and a leather jacket, it's OK for two people to take care of him."
Huang's wife touched the lamb leg that her parents brought down and said happily, "Brother Hu, my mother told us to go back to the mountain with you this time. She will buy you some good things."
Aunt Huang nodded. Her mother was getting old too fast, and her sister-in-law said she was becoming more confused. She wanted to go back to visit her more often.
Black Tiger was a little embarrassed: "Auntie, maybe not, the tigers in the mountains are a little weird this year.
Originally, there was a male and a female guarding two hilltops. Apart from mating, they did not interfere with each other. We passed by through the path with guns and there was no problem.
But I don’t know what happened this year. The male tiger ran to the tigress’s hill, and the two tigers were fighting every day in the mountain, roaring and howling. We were so scared that we couldn’t sleep well in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, we didn’t touch the prey in the tigress’s territory, so they didn’t enter the village to hurt anyone. But we can’t take you back, as the journey is too dangerous.”
Aunt Huang and Mrs. Huang felt a little regretful after hearing this. They knew the situation in the mountains and did not dare to take any risks. They could only find an opportunity to go there after the New Year.
The more Mingdai listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She glanced at Zhou Sinian, who was still frowning and staring at the box on the ground.
Isn't it such a coincidence? ! !
She remembered hearing tiger roars when they were packing the sheep and silly spores in Daqing Mountain.
Could it be this one? !
Mingdai felt a little guilty. If a tiger broke into the village and hurt people because of food shortage, it would be her fault.
She cleared her throat and said, "Well, Auntie, I have some animal medicine to drive away wild animals. How about giving some to this comrade?"
Black Tiger was shocked when he heard this and looked at the young educated youth on the kang: "Do you have animal medicine?!"
Aunt Huang was also very excited: "Oh, you still have this good thing, young educated youth! My family only had a few of these in our generation, but they were all used up and we never saw them again. I thought no one would be worthy of this thing now."
Mingdai smiled embarrassedly. If the tiger incident wasn't caused by the sin she and Zhou Sinian committed, she would not have brought up the matter.
"There are few herbs and not much to mix. Hang it where the tiger must pass when it comes down the mountain. It should have some effect. Just be careful not to get it wet."
The black tiger and the leopard looked at each other, rubbed their hands, and spoke excitedly: "Thank you, Xiao Ming, you have helped us a lot. There are not only tigers in the mountains, but also wolves. Although these wolves did not come down the mountain to make trouble this year, they would come into the village several times in previous years. They even dragged away the children in our village before. If the animal medicine is really useful, we have to thank you very much!
Look at how much it costs. We bought it and we won’t let you suffer a loss!"
Wolf: We would like to go, but all the capable ones have been beaten to death by Zhou Sinian, and we are the only ones left. Are we going to deliver vegetables on New Year’s Day?
Let's just pull the sled, there are big bones to eat when pulling the sled! Spray incense!
Mingdai asked, and found out that the two of them would be returning home tomorrow, so they agreed to deliver the medicine tomorrow. As for the money for the medicine, Mingdai asked them to use next year's hazelnuts to offset it. The hazelnuts in the mountains are really fragrant!
Aunt Huang was also very happy, thinking that Mingdai was giving money to her nephew out of respect for her family. After all, money and banknotes were harder to come by than mountain products in those days.
Mingdai had something on her mind, so she asked Zhou Sinian to help her carry the boxes home, but Zhou Sinian still refused and stood far away with the backpack on his back, refusing to come over.
Mingdai had a headache. The box was too heavy and she couldn't lift it!
In the end, it was the Liu brothers who helped her carry it back.
After seeing the two off, Mingdai looked at Zhou Sinian who was standing outside the door. He had just returned from Aunt Huang's house, but he didn't say a word and just stared at the box in a daze.
Mingdai opened the box and Zhou Sinian took two steps back.
Ming Dai raised her eyebrows: "Are you afraid of this?"
Zhou Sinian looked away and said nothing.
Mingdai was a little curious. How could Zhou Sinian, who was fearless and would do anything to get what he wanted? He was actually afraid of something?
You know, he is a humanoid weapon that can fight two packs of wolves alone, so why is he so afraid of tigers?
She suddenly remembered that last time, in Daqing Mountain, after sensing the tiger's presence, Zhou Sinian took her away immediately.
Ming Dai thought at the time that Zhou Sinian was not able to perform his moves with her and was afraid that both of them would get hurt, but now it seems that is not the case.
Maybe he is simply afraid of tigers?
Even seeing tiger bones has a reaction?
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ming Dai did not dare to tease him and put the tiger bones in the warehouse in the space for safekeeping.
At night, the two of them slept in the space.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Sinian's door was opened, and he walked quietly towards the warehouse in the space.
Passing through rows of neatly arranged shelves, I finally stopped at the medicinal materials shelf that Mingdai had specially arranged.
The wooden box was placed on the second shelf and looked ordinary.
Zhou Sinian stood far away and did not dare to step forward.
He stared at the box in a trance, as if the tiger inside was not dead, its skin and flesh were still intact, and its claws and fangs were still there.
At this moment, he is hiding in the box, waiting for the right moment to break out and deal him a fatal blow.
His head began to hurt again, his eyes were bloodshot, his ears were filled with screams, and the stench of the tiger seemed to still linger between his nostrils.
His head has been hurting frequently lately, and some images appear indirectly, but most of them are so fast that he can't catch them. At this moment, the images in his mind have become virtual, so clear that they seem to be right in front of him.
Zhou Sinian suddenly closed his eyes, big beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and he began to tremble uncontrollably. The scars on his body seemed to be ignited, and he wanted to scream loudly to vent the inexplicable fear and hatred in his heart!
But his throat seemed to be blocked, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter a single syllable.
Finally, he collapsed powerlessly to the ground, like a fish off the shore, struggling hard to absorb the increasingly scarce oxygen.
In the blood before his eyes, a blurry figure screamed at him desperately: Si Nian! Run! Run!
Zhou Sinian tried desperately to see who it was, but was finally engulfed by endless darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Sinian woke up on the floor.
He lay weakly on the ground, looking at the dark ceiling of the warehouse, just like his inner world at the moment.
Who is he?
What did he go through?
Who was the person who was screaming in his ear and telling him to run?
Blood, blood everywhere!
Someone died.
Zhou Sinian looked up at the box on the shelf. It was still parked there safely and posed no threat.
However, Zhou Sinian knew that he had seen with his own eyes how that bloody mouth bit off a person's arm, tore it off with flesh and blood, and swallowed it into its stomach.
Originally, he was going to eat him, but the man pushed him away and stuffed his arm into his mouth, giving him the opportunity to turn around and escape.
Si Nian! Run! Run!
Then there was endless wailing and hot blood spurting on his back.
The blood burned him so much that it hurt.
When Mingdai got up early in the morning, she found the villa quiet.
I went downstairs to the kitchen, but Zhou Sinian, who would greet me with a smile every morning for breakfast, was not there.
She frowned and called out twice, but no one answered. She went to his room and saw it was empty. No one was there.
Ming went outside to look again, and there was no one in the vegetable garden or the small ranch.
She frowned and returned to the villa, looked at the warehouse, and walked in.
"Zhou Sinian?"
She walked inside while shouting, passing through rows of shelves, but there was no one there.
When she reached the shelf of medicinal herbs, she was about to turn around when she suddenly saw the corner of a piece of clothing behind the shelf.
Zhou Sinian walked over quickly, his face flushed, and leaned against the shelf, looking like he was almost burning.
