Chapter 222: There is a tiger in front and a leopard behind
222
"Brother, we are finished." Xiao Moyu couldn't even form a complete sentence.
Xiao Moyan just stared with her big round eyes at a big creature covered with spots not far from them. She had no idea what this thing was, but she could feel the threat and the breath of death from it.
Xiao Mohe clutched his two younger siblings' hands tightly. No, they didn't want to die. He hadn't yet avenged himself, hadn't yet raised his younger siblings, hadn't yet returned to find his grandmother, and he absolutely didn't want to die.
Gritting his teeth, what should he do? What should he do? Who will save them?
Suddenly Xiao Mohe thought of the soldiers who had just left, but they were already gone. Even if he shouted, they would not be able to hear him, and it would also alarm the two beasts in front and behind.
Feeling his sister-in-law trembling, Xiao Mohe made up his mind and pulled his sister-in-law to run in the direction where the soldiers left.
They kept looking back as they ran, as if the noise of their running had startled the tiger and leopard, and both of them looked in their direction at the same time. Xiao Mohe felt like his heart was about to stop beating, but his body continued to run mechanically.
Don't forget to look back while running.
I don’t know how far they ran, but just when Xiao Mohe felt that he could no longer see the two beasts, he turned around and saw a huge tiger with its bloody mouth wide open pouncing towards the three of them.
“Ah, no!”
“Ahhhh!”
“Woo woo woo!”
.......
Time seemed to stand still. Xiao Mohe tightly held his sister-in-law in front of him, blocking the tiger's attack with his back. He thought, even if I die, I'd better die first.
Maybe the tiger would be full after eating him and would not want to eat his siblings anymore.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel any pain. His sister-in-law was sobbing softly in his arms. Xiao Mohe mustered up the courage to turn around and saw the little girl he had seen yesterday lifting the tiger's chin with her hands.
The other hand also grabbed one of the tiger's front paws.
Seeing Xiao Mohe looking over, Tang Yue lazily pushed the tiger back. The tiger reluctantly took a few steps back.
Xiao Mohe felt his whole body go limp, and he collapsed to the ground while holding his brother and sister-in-law.
Tang Yue gently patted the tiger's leg. "Look at you, you scared them. Also, don't you see they are the same as me? If I can't eat them, then neither can they. Remember?"
The tiger glanced at Tang Yue, and then its two eyes as big as bowls kept staring at Xiao Mohe and the others.
Tang Yue felt helpless and pulled the tiger's whiskers to make it lower its head. "I'm talking to you, pay attention to me. I said they can't be eaten, do you understand?"
The tiger seemed to dislike Tang Yue and turned away awkwardly. Tang Yue then turned to look at Xiao Mohe and his siblings, "Okay, it must have been the smell of your roasted rabbit that attracted it.
Now it has promised not to eat you, so go away."
None of Xiao Mohe's three siblings stood up. Tang Yue blinked her eyes, seeming a little confused. "Don't be afraid. Oh, then I'll take it away first."
After saying that, Tang Yue jumped onto the tiger's back and was about to leave. Xiao Mohe suppressed his trembling. "Wait."
Tang Yue was just turning the tiger around when she heard Xiao Mohe calling her. She twisted around on the tiger's back and asked, "Are you calling me?"
Xiao Mohe felt a little embarrassed. His grandmother had always taught them to be polite, but in the past two days he had been rude to this group of people.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that."
Tang Yue didn't know what his apology was mainly directed at, so she didn't say anything.
Xiao Mohe pulled his sister-in-law to his feet and stood up slowly. Although his legs felt weak when he saw the big guy in front of him, he still wanted to ask.
"Did you raise it?"
Tang Yue's eyes widened in shock. "You're overthinking it. I don't have the ability to keep it. We've only known each other for two days. We're not familiar with the roads here, so it's a good idea to ask it to lead the way."
"lead the way?"
"lead the way?"
The three siblings were amazed as to how they could be so powerful that they could let such a ferocious beast lead the way for them.
Tang Yue didn't want to explain too much. Their goal was to get these three children out of the Qinling Mountains. After all, it was too dangerous here, and they couldn't just stand by and watch them die. As for their own affairs, they naturally didn't say too much.
"Well, is there anything else? If nothing, I'm leaving."
"no."
"No, little sister."
The latter part was said by Xiao Moyan. After all, she was still young, only seven or eight years old, and she was really scared when she saw the tiger just now. But now that she saw that Tang Yue was not afraid at all, her mind became active.
I thought that since children younger than me were not afraid, this big guy shouldn’t be that scary.
"You call me little sister?"
Tang Yue looked at Xiao Moyan. This girl was quite brave. From the look of her now, she seemed not to be afraid anymore.
Xiao Moyan nodded quickly, "Little sister, don't leave. Then, over there..."
She pointed in the direction of their cave, but when she turned around, she found that her finger had almost pierced the leopard's mouth. Her face turned pale with fear, and she quickly withdrew her hand and quickly got into her brother's arms.
Wow, it's still so scary, what should I do? Why is that little girl not afraid?
Tang Yue's eyes flashed with cunning, "Miss, what did you want to say just now?"
Xiao Moyan didn't even have the courage to turn around and look at Tang Yue. Xiao Mohe hugged his sister-in-law tightly. Seeing that the leopard didn't attack them for a long time, he turned his head stiffly to look at Tang Yue.
"This, this is also to lead the way for you?"
"Yeah. Yes."
"They've all left, why haven't you left yet?"
Xiao Mohe's mind raced, and he figured out the crux of the matter.
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. "We camped here last night, and they went out to find food. They hadn't returned when we left just now. That's why I came back to look for them."
"Why did you come back to look for them? Aren't they worried that a little kid like you might be unsafe?"
Xiao Mohe's questions were sharp, and at this moment, all his fear was thrown aside. Tang Yue was a little unhappy. This guy, is he interrogating a prisoner?
She pulled the fur on the tiger's head, signaling it to set off.
"I can ride them back, they're very fast." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Xiao Mohe......
Seeing the leopard following closely behind the tiger, Xiao Moyu grabbed his brother's hand and said, "Brother, that little sister seems angry. Why did you talk to her like that?"
Xiao Mohe gritted his teeth and pulled Xiao Mohe and Xiao Moyan to follow behind.
"Brother, what are we going to do?"
Xiao Mohe explained as he walked, "I was just worried that they were plotting against us."
"Ah? Why are you plotting against us? We are not worth anything."
Xiao Moyu's words seemed to remind Xiao Mohe, and he suddenly seemed to understand. His pace quickened.
"Hurry up, let's catch up with them."
Xiao Moyu walked quickly while puzzled, "Brother, why should we follow them? Didn't we say we won't leave the mountain?"
Xiao Mohe didn't look at his brother. "Were you scared of the tiger and leopard just now?"
"I'm afraid, but they won't eat us, right?"
Xiao Mohe didn't know why his younger brother suddenly stopped thinking.
"If they don't eat them, what about the other tigers and leopards? Also, after they send those soldiers away, will they remember us when they return?"
"ah?"
Xiao Moyu's legs trembled a little when he heard this. Xiao Moyan's eyes lit up, "Brother, brother, hurry up, we're about to lose sight of them."
The three brothers were chasing closely behind, and Tang Yue was sitting on the tiger's back. When they couldn't find them, she would slow down, and when they caught up, she would pretend to speed up again.
After walking for two hours, the three siblings were exhausted and out of breath.
Tang Yue was waiting at the foot of a mountain for the others to come down. Xiao Mohe and his sister-in-law parted the tall grass and saw Tang Yue sitting on the leopard's back, watching them.
Xiao Mohe paused, then slowly walked out from behind the bushes with his younger brother and sister-in-law.
There was no expression on Tang Yue's little face. This boss couldn't speak.
"Why do you keep following me?"
Before Xiao Mohe could speak, Xiao Moyan stepped forward and said, "Little sister, we don't dare to stay in the mountains anymore. We want to go out with you. Is that okay?"
