Xiao Xiao clung tightly to the tree trunk, her lips pressed tightly together.
Although her eyes were still fixed on the tiger, the emotions in them betrayed her feelings at that moment.
To say I wasn't afraid would be a lie.
In all the years she's been hunting, she's never encountered a tiger.
They have never killed a tiger.
The tiger truly deserves to be called the king of the forest.
Despite being riddled with arrows, he could still exude such immense pressure, which was truly frightening.
Yuan Shitou was also keeping a close eye on the tiger on the ground.
When I looked up at Xiao Xiao, my heart skipped a beat.
He quickly climbed up the tree trunk, hugged Xiaoxiao in his arms, and gently coaxed her:
"Don't be afraid, little one, I'm here."
Xiao Xiao leaned into his arms and said, "Brother Stone, I'm not scared."
I just feel a little nervous.
Yuan Shitou patted her back as usual: "I know our little one isn't scared."
The tiger below was still struggling desperately; the more it struggled, the faster its blood flowed.
After a while, she slowly stopped breathing.
Yuan Shitou told Xiaoxiao to stay in the tree while he went down to check on her.
Xiao Xiao immediately grabbed him: "Brother Stone, wait a little longer."
I'm afraid it's not quite dead yet.
Yuan Shitou saw the worry in her eyes and nodded.
After a while, seeing that the tiger still hadn't moved, the two climbed down the tree and cautiously approached.
Yuan Shitou picked up a pebble and threw it forcefully at the tiger's eye.
The tiger remained motionless, confirming it was completely dead.
Yuan Shitou wanted to step forward, but Xiao Xiao stopped him, saying, "Don't rush."
As he spoke, he chopped down a tree branch as thick as his arm.
“Brother Stone, I’ll use this to pry its head off.”
Make a noose and put it on it, but don't get too close, lest it's not completely dead yet.
Let's put it on the tree.
Although there was a lot of commotion here, so much time has passed.
The smell of blood will surely attract other wild animals.
Yuan Shitou asked, puzzled, "You mean hang it on a tree?"
Shouldn't we leave here first?
The little ears twitched: "I'm afraid it's too late, hurry up and do as I say."
So the two of them quickly lassoed the tiger and hung it from the largest tree.
It is more than two meters above the ground.
After doing all that, the two of them sat on the tree to rest for a while.
"Brother Stone, do you think this tiger weighs 700 jin (350 catties)?"
Yuan Shitou shook his head: "It should be more than that."
He can easily move five or six hundred pounds by himself.
But he couldn't move the tiger. That doesn't prove it was that heavy.
Before long, a sound approached from afar.
Xiao Xiao quickly said, "Brother Stone, something else has arrived."
Yuan Shitou immediately perked up and listened.
His ears are not as good as small ones.
However, having hunted since childhood, his agility remains very high.
I also heard some faint noises.
The two stared intently at the ground, trying to guess what was approaching.
The sound didn't sound like a wolf; it must be some other kind of ferocious beast.
Before long, a brown figure appeared before them.
It turned out to be a large brown bear.
This brown bear is exceptionally tall.
This is much bigger than the black bear they hunted last time.
It looks to be over two meters tall.
He's taller than Yuan Shitou.
Xiao Xiao had never seen such a tall bear before.
Yuan Shitou asked quietly, "Xiaoxiao, this bear is huge, how are we going to kill it?"
Xiao Xiao really wanted to say, "Let him live."
Clearly, this brown bear came here attracted by the smell of blood.
They certainly won't leave easily.
If it doesn't leave, they can't leave either.
If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave.
They should leave quickly while the tiger's power is still lingering.
However, the brown bear blocking their path wouldn't let them leave so easily.
We have no choice but to find a way to get rid of it.
So the two of them decided to kill the brown bear using the same method they used to kill a tiger.
But Xiao Xiao wanted the brown bear's pelt.
So they discussed using other methods.
Looking at the tiger with the rope around its neck, Xiao Xiao suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Stone, this bear, this bear."
I suspect its eyesight is impaired.
Isn't it standing up? Let's tie a knot in the rope and hang it from the tree like a tiger, what do you think?
Yuan Shitou hesitated. It was called the bear, but no one had tested whether its eyesight was good or not.
But the method used in short stories also works.
After thinking about it and reading the book again, I felt that this method was not bad.
But bears aren't stupid; they can't just stand there and let you trap them.
The two then began to divide the work and cooperate.
Little Xiao deliberately teases the bear to get its attention.
Yuan Shitou took advantage of its unpreparedness and used a rope to lasso its head.
This method actually worked.
The brown bear, with its neck tethered, tried to pry it off with its paws.
Yuan Shitou wouldn't let it pry open, would he?
With all its might, and with a little help, it pulled it up and hung it on the tree.
They tied the remaining rope in one knot on the tree, then another.
Until three knots were tied.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the bear still trying to pull at the rope with its hands, I was afraid it would break it.
He took out his machete, cut a long branch, and slapped it hard against the bear's paw.
As long as its claws don't pull on the rope, it's fine.
Xiao Xiao did as he suggested.
The two of them watched as if it were a game, taking turns flicking the pins.
I was incredibly nervous.
The brown bear was caught in a dilemma; it could only protect its paws, not its neck.
As soon as the claws were removed, his neck was hanging as if it were about to break.
The rope swayed back and forth as they struggled.
Xiao Xiao was afraid it would break the rope, which would mean all her efforts were for nothing.
He quickly took out his crossbow and fired a barrage of shots at its eyes.
As long as the skin on the body is intact, let's not worry about the skin on the head.
The animals that had seemed quiet earlier suddenly came back, hoping to get something for nothing.
But then came another series of roars, still the same panicked and painful screams.
They were so frightened that they tucked their tails between their legs and ran away, this time even further.
What's wrong with your mom?
First a tiger, now a black bear has appeared.
Are you even letting the beasts live?
It might scare the old man with heart disease.
Yuan Shitou tied a knot in the other end of the rope that was tied to the tiger, and then put a loop over the brown bear's head. The double rope should be much safer.
Short story: "Brother Stone, you stay here and watch it, I'll go and push the wheelbarrow over."
Let's get out of here quickly.
Yuan Shitou immediately grabbed her: "You stay here and watch, I'll go."
Without waiting for Xiaoxiao's reply, he quickly climbed down the tree and ran towards the place where the wheelbarrow was.
Xiao Xiao watched the brown bear from the tree, and every now and then she would glance at Yuan Shitou.
Yuan Shitou quickly pushed the wheelbarrow over and placed it directly under the tiger.
Xiao Xiao untied the rope from the tree, and the tiger fell directly onto the wheelbarrow.
But the brown bear is still alive, which is a bit of a problem.
Yuan Shitou had no choice but to let it bleed first.
