When Yinzuo led his men over, Yinzhi was already drawing his bow, aiming at the tiger fighting Yinreng, ready to shoot. So Yinzuo didn't bother them, but instead found a good spot to watch the action. You ask him if he wasn't worried about Yinzhi and Yinreng getting hurt by the tiger? Haha, what a joke! If his eldest and second brothers couldn't take down an angry tiger together, their father would have to train them harder when they got back.
The fact was just as Yinzuo had thought. The combined strength of Yinzhi and Yinreng was indeed not to be underestimated. Even though the tiger was in a rage, after several rounds, it was still killed by Yinzhi's arrow right in the center of its eyebrows. Yinzuo watched the tiger fall to the ground and no longer struggle, then he reined in his horse and ran towards Yinzhi and Yinreng.
"Big brother, second brother are so awesome! Look at how they coordinated just now. It was absolutely perfect. This tiger looks much bigger than the other one. I can take the tiger skin back to give to my father..."
Well, I've seen people being generous, but have you ever seen someone so generous towards others? Upon hearing this, Yinzhen first glanced at the tiger lying on the ground, then looked at Yinzuo, who was squatting beside the tiger with a guard's long knife and constantly scratching at it. He then dismounted, walked over to Yinzuo, raised his hand and gently patted the back of his head.
"What are you digging around for? If you poke this fine tiger skin, all our efforts will be wasted. And where's your guard Hatu? Didn't I see him following you just now? Why is he gone now?"
It seemed that Yinzhi didn't use much strength, but Yinzuo was caught off guard and was hit by his big potsticker, which made his body tremble slightly. If Yinreng next to him hadn't helped him in time, he would probably have fallen on the tiger lying on the ground.
This sudden change really scared Yinzuo. After being helped by Yinreng to steady himself, he first thanked his second brother, and then immediately turned to look at his eldest brother, the culprit.
"What Ama said is indeed true. Big brother never held back when he attacked. If second brother hadn't helped me just now, your brother would have been lying on the tiger right now. Why didn't I notice that big brother is quite hypocritical before? You didn't let me move the tiger, so how could you move me? As for where Hatu is? Big brother, have you forgotten that there is a tiger lying on the ground over there? Of course he has brought people to guard it over there..."
To be honest, if there weren't a bunch of people watching nearby, Yinzhi really wanted to raise his hand and slap that bastard Yinzuo to make him lie on the tiger. But no matter what, he was in the wrong. Yinzhi was just about to say something when he heard bursts of dense horse hooves coming from not far away. He knew without thinking that the guards had rushed over after seeing the signal.
As the eldest brother, Yinzhi naturally had a broad mind. He had watched Yinzuo grow up since he was a child, so how could he not know what kind of person he was? So naturally, he would not bother with this unfortunate child. When he saw the guards riding over, he first raised his hand to call for people to come and carry away the tiger lying on the ground, and then he walked to Yinzuo and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Okay, don't be angry. It was my fault for pushing you just now. Now that this person has come, let's not stay here. Isn't the tiger you beat still lying over there? Let's go and take a look."
People say that this heredity is terrible. Although Yinzuo always says that his father is a submissive donkey, in fact, he himself is no worse. Look, Yinzhi surrendered and coaxed the other person with just a few words.
Yinreng watched the two brothers walk arm in arm and did not rush to follow them. Instead, he calmly tidied up his clothes that were messed up due to the fight with the tiger, then got on his horse and chased after them.
Compared to the tiger that died perfectly on Yinzhi and Yinreng's side, the one on Yinzuo's side died miserably. It had arrow wounds and wood wounds on its body, and the blood dyed its fur red. In a word, it was probably impossible to keep this tiger skin.
Yinzuo had anticipated this result. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't care much. After all, he went into the woods to hunt and enjoyed the process of chasing prey in the mountains. As for the result...he didn't care about the tiger skin.
Even though they had captured a decent prey, Yinzhen and his companions were not in a hurry to return to the camp. They had the two tigers carried back to the base camp, and they took the remaining guards and continued to go deeper into the forest.
"Big brother, second brother, it's probably past noon now. We've been running around all morning and must be tired and hungry. Why don't we find an open place to eat something and rest, and then go look for other prey in the afternoon."
Yinzhi didn't know whether others were tired or hungry, but when he heard Yinzuo's words, he knew that this guy could not hold on any longer. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and called the guards behind him, asking them to find a suitable place to stay nearby.
The guards that Yinzuo and his companions had brought with them were all strictly selected, and their abilities were naturally beyond reproach. However, after a while, someone came to report that the place had been chosen and asked Yinzhi and his companions to move over.
The location chosen by the guards was next to a small stream in the forest. It was not the rainy season yet, so there was not much water in the stream. Yinzuo, Yinzhi, and Yinreng had been sweating a lot in the forest all morning. When they saw the crystal clear stream, they immediately dismounted and ran towards it.
With so many guards around, it was naturally not Yinzhi's turn to make fire and cook. While the three brothers were still washing up by the stream, Akshan and his men had already brought people to build a simple stove with stones by the stream and started a fire. When you are away from home, you don't have to be as particular as at home. Yinzhi and his men's lunch consisted of the dry food they brought from the camp and some wild game such as pheasants and rabbits hunted by the guards.
Isn't there a saying that children are picky eaters? It can be summed up in three words: they are not very hungry. If they were to eat something so bland and tasteless as usual, Yinzhi and the others might not even look at it, but now they think it tastes pretty good.
After eating and drinking their fill, Yinzuo and the others did not rush to act. Instead, they rested on the spot before continuing to lead their men in the designated direction. The trees in the mountains were extremely tall because they were rarely visited. Although it was only May, the surrounding trees already looked lush and green. Because of the obstruction of the trees, it seemed to get dark much earlier on the mountain than on the way down.
When Yinzuo and his companions left in the morning, they had no plans to return to the base camp to stay at night, so they naturally brought along tents, dry food and other daily necessities.
