Chapter 67 I use my body to block the tiger's mouth
"Don't be afraid! I won't go down. I'm on top. Animals can't get up. Mother, godmother, you go in!" Yike said in a low voice.
"No! If you don't go in, we won't go in either." Zhang Yuling and Wang Cuihua also said stubbornly. Their purpose is very simple, which is to use themselves to force Yi Ke to go back.
"You don't know how to use arrows, and they are useless outside. I have to divide my attention to take care of you. Please be kind and go in." Yi Ke begged, and finally, without waiting for their answer, he walked to the edge of the watchtower with the bow and arrow.
"That damn guy, I don't know where he came from? Do you think you can eat the chicken that I raised with so much effort?" Yi Ke cursed in his heart.
As she stood at the fence of the watchtower, the scene in the bamboo forest made Yike furious.
There were two big wild boars, the largest of which was estimated to weigh about 300 kilograms, and should be a boar. The slightly smaller one was probably a sow, weighing about 150 or 160 kilograms; there were four small wild boars, the largest of which weighed 70 to 80 kilograms, and the smallest one might weigh 40 to 50 kilograms. At this time, the two boars and the female pig were leading their children to play the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the bamboo forest.
The boar and the sow showed their long fangs and chased the chickens in the bamboo forest. The little wild boar also grunted and chased the chickens. The panicked chickens fled in all directions. Some smart ones flew to the roof of the chicken coop, while others stupidly just ran on the ground.
The boar's tusks had already bitten against a large hen. An angry arrow was shot at its head, followed by the second and third arrows, all of which hit the boar's head.
The boar's huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang. The old pig and the piglets were all startled and looked up at the watchtower.
Yi Ke bent his bow and drew his arrow again, aiming at the pig woman and shooting an arrow. This arrow hit the pig's nose, and Yi Ke burst out laughing. This is "sticking a green onion in a pig's nose - pretending to be an elephant".
The little wild boars immediately ran away. Yi Ke didn't care about the old sow and immediately shot arrows at the little wild boars. The arrows injured the little wild boars' legs. Both front legs of each little wild boar were injured by Yi Ke's arrows. The little wild boars fell to the ground, whimpering. Looking at the pig woman again, she also fell at the edge of the bamboo forest.
"Yeah!" Yike put down his bow and arrow and shouted happily. He turned around and tried to go down the stairs, but saw three stunned faces.
"Mom! Godmother! Brother Jiankang!" Yi Ke shouted.
"Yike, you are so awesome!" said Du Jiankang.
"It's not that great, it's nothing." Yike waved his hand and walked towards the stairs.
"Don't open the door!" Mother Zhang Yuling shouted, and Yike was so scared that he shivered. He turned around and looked at his mother blankly, not knowing what she meant.
"You can't go down! Yike, be obedient and don't go down." Godmother Wang Cuihua quickly grabbed Yike.
"Have you forgotten what Ziyi and your father said? It's already wrong to come out of the cave, and you still want to go down. You are really courting death." Mother Zhang Yuling came over, hugged Yike's arm and pulled him into the cave.
"Mother, godmother, please let me go. The wild boars are either dead or injured. How can they hurt me? I will go down and get them out. Those little wild boars need to stop the bleeding. We will raise the little wild boars. If I don't get them out and apply medicine to them, the little wild boars will die." Yi Ke stood there and refused to enter the cave.
"If he's dead, he's dead. You can't go down anyway." Mother Zhang Yuling said arrogantly.
"Listen to your mother, don't go down, it's too dangerous." Godmother Wang Cuihua also held Yi Ke's other arm tightly, fearing that she would run away if they were not careful.
"Sister Yike, it's too dangerous to go down. What if a wolf suddenly jumps out while you are dragging the wild boar, will you be able to get out in time? If you can't get out, will your two mothers see that you are in danger and go down to save you? Can they beat the wolf?" Du Jiankang said.
"I'm not afraid of wolves. I can knock it down in minutes." Yi Ke muttered softly. After thinking about it, he had to go back to the cave reluctantly. It was a pity for a few wild boars. He didn't know if a wolf would really come. It would be a big loss if they ate the wild boars. Yike walked towards the cave while thinking about it, and his reluctant look made Du Jiankang laugh.
"What's so funny? Can you bear to do that?" Yi Ke said angrily.
"I can't bear to do that!" Du Jiankang answered honestly.
"Good boy, let's not be the kind of people who would rather die than give up their money. If you lose your life, you lose everything. Wait for your father to come back, and we'll ask them to go get a few for you. If no other animals come, that's even better. We can get them back when they come back."
"Mom, I won't go down. I'll just watch from here, okay? If other animals come to eat the wild boar, I will shoot them with arrows. They can't get up here anyway. There will be no danger as long as I don't go down, okay? Mom! Promise me! You don't love me anymore. Oh, my wild boar!" Yike pretended that she was going to cry in front of Zhang Yuling if she didn't let her go out.
“Or we can just do as Yi Ke says,” said godmother Wang Cuihua. “I’ll watch from the tower. If there are any animals coming, I’ll call Yi Ke and he’ll shoot them with arrows. Yi Ke is such an accurate archer, it should be possible.” Godmother Wang Cuihua also couldn’t bear to part with those wild boars, as they were a lot of meat.
"Godmother, you need to watch over there. I can handle it myself." Yi Ke objected hurriedly.
"That won't work. What if you sneak down? Cuihua's method is feasible. Let's take turns to watch." It seems that mother is also reluctant to leave those wild boars.
"Haha! Almost a thousand pounds of meat!" Yi Ke muttered.
"Okay, go talk to your brother, we'll keep an eye on him for you."
Yi Ke accompanied Du Jiankang back to the guest room in a depressed mood. He was in a bad mood and couldn't help but say a few words: "Brother Jiankang, don't ruin your health. You ran out in such a strong wind outside. Aren't you afraid that your illness will relapse?"
"Your two mothers were afraid they couldn't hold you back, so they asked me to help. What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood and want to vent your anger on me." Du Jiankang, your cheap brother, didn't act like a brother at all and retorted right away.
"Who is venting their anger on you? I just don't want to bother with you." Yi Ke walked slowly with his head down.
"Then I'll take care of you. Let me analyze it for you now. Think about it, a light smell of blood can attract wild boars. The wild boar was shot by you and it bleeds so much, the smell of blood is even stronger, and it will definitely attract other animals. What if it's a tiger? You are down there, can we just watch the tiger bite you? That's definitely impossible. We will risk our lives to go down and save you. Don't say you can win. Will your mother and your godmother believe it? They will only think of using their bodies to block the tiger's mouth. What will you do then? I'll be the same. I will be the first to run to block the tiger's mouth with my body. Anyway, I can't beat the tiger, and you saved my life. You are my sister, and a brother must protect his sister. Think about it, will you still be unhappy?" Du Jiankang analyzed carefully.
"I don't want you to try to shut the tiger's mouth." Yike felt mixed emotions now. move! Guilty! Scared! But he is still stubborn.
"I'll go prepare more arrows." Yike ran out in a hurry and saw his mother sitting at the entrance of the tunnel. He ran over and hugged her arm and shook her. "Mom! I promise I won't go down the mountain. I know you are all doing this for my own good. Thank you, Mom!"
"Okay, that's a relief for me. Do you want to go and have a rest? I'll call you if any animals come."
"No, I want to talk to my mother."
"You are such a silly child. Mother doesn't need you to talk to her. I have your godmother to talk to."
In the guest room, Du Jiankang listened to Yi Ke's voice and smiled comfortably.
…
"Yike, hurry up, here they come, another animal is coming." The godmother ran in and said in a low voice.
Yike grabbed the bow and arrow and ran out. When he reached the guardrail and looked down, he saw a red fox jumping in the bamboo forest, rolling like a fireball.
The fox was at the little wild boar in an instant and opened its mouth to bite it.
But he would never give it a chance. He wanted to keep the wild boar in captivity. She shot an arrow quickly at the fox. The fox seemed to sense the danger and tilted its head to the left. The arrow hit the fox's face at an angle and fell to the ground.
The fox nimbly fled left and right, and was about to get away, but Yike shot several arrows in succession, with arrows hitting the left, middle and right, and the fox fell down howling.
Yi Ke grinned, thinking to himself, "Another piece of meat. It would be better to get a few more animals, haha, the wild boar is bait, catch more prey."
"We are really good!" Godmother praised, "Many men are not as good as us."
"Yes! We are the one that doesn't allow anything," the mother wanted to praise but couldn't remember, so she was in a dilemma.
"Women are as good as men!" Yi Ke said.
"Yes, yes, yes! Women are as good as men. This is what your father said. Look, is it true that women are as good as men?" Mother said proudly.
"Mom, godmother, please stop praising me. What if I become too proud to be proud?" This is truly a happy worry.
"Okay, let's stop praising you. You are capable even if we don't praise you," said the godmother.
"I really want to drink the mushroom and bone soup that mom made."
“I’ll stew it now and you can drink it in the evening.” Mother said as she walked towards the kitchen.
"Cunning." The godmother tapped Yike's forehead.
Yi Ke giggled: "Godmother, go and boil some medicine for Brother Jiankang. I'll stay here."
"Then don't go down!"
"Don't worry, I won't go down."
"I'd better ask your brother to come and look after you." Godmother shook her head, still worried.
"Brother Jiankang can't be blown by the wind," Yi Ke stopped him.
"I'm watching you in the tunnel, and you can't feel the wind. Or is there no wind at all?" The godmother was a little worried again, so she asked.
"It's still okay as long as the wind is not strong. Now we just need to recuperate. The illness is basically healed, so it's good for us to get out and move around." Yi Ke thought about it and agreed to let his cheap brother supervise.
So, Du Jiankang sat in the tunnel, staring at Yi Ke in boredom. Yi Ke was lying on the watchtower, staring at the bamboo forest with a fierce look.
Perhaps Yi Ke's murderous aura was too strong. Until dark, no animal came to eat the wild boar, and Yi Ke's plan to use the wild boar as bait failed.
Yi Ke was still muttering at the dinner table that those animals had poor noses and couldn't smell such a strong smell of blood, causing her to be left there in vain. Her nagging left her two mothers and stepbrother speechless.
