Chapter 369: Gambling Contract, Xue Guard
Male tigers, like male dogs, like to cross one leg to pee everywhere, however, male dogs are to recognize the way, the smell of their urine as a signpost, and male tigers are to declare the territory, but where it has peed is its territory, other tigers are forbidden to enter (except for tigress), otherwise it will not die!
The tiger on the isolated island likes to pee everywhere, and it is on one leg, it is the head of the male, and the island is full of the smell of its urine. There were only five wild deer left, and when they smelled the tiger's urine, they shivered and ran to the water's edge on the southeast side of the island, trembling to pick up some weeds covered with mud.
The flood water receded noticeably, revealing partially soaked areas with mud-stained grass, but the deer still ate happily because the grass did not smell of tiger urine.
Xu Jin and Xue Bingxin dug the trap, erected dozens of sharpened short spears in the trap, and camouflaged the surface with thatch and floating soil, looking like a piece of turf.
By the time everything was ready, it was already dark, Xu Jin and Xue Bingxin were almost exhausted, and their clothes were covered with mud, like two loaches coming out of the field. There is no way, the digging tools are too rudimentary, the ground must be soaked in water before digging, and the excavated soil is held out of the pit by both hands, otherwise it would not have to take a whole day to barely dig a pit less than two meters deep.
Xu Jin said: "Miss Xue, let's rest and drink saliva first, I want to make some arrangements!" ”
Xue Bingxin nodded and walked towards the water's edge to wash, Xu Jin waited for her to go away, and immediately looked at the bushes in the distance, and soon found the tiger lying in the grass to eat.
The tiger seemed to sense that Xu Jin was watching it, so he stood up in the grass, and the tiger's eyes flashed a faint blue light in the night. Xu Jin waved the torch in his hand defiantly, then unbuttoned his trouser belt and took out something and sprinkled urine, all on top of the trap, in order to make the effect really obvious, Xu Jin raised one leg to pee.
Xu Jin's very "male" action is undoubtedly a demonstration to the tiger in the eyes of it.
"How can this be reasonable, this two-legged beast is so arrogant that he dares to pee on the king's territory to demonstrate!" The tiger walked back and forth angrily, a muffled roar of warning in its throat.
Xu Jin fastened his trouser belt and turned around and walked back to the bonfire, Xue Bingxin, who had washed his hands and face by the water, happened to come back and asked suspiciously: "What were you doing just now, the action is weird!" ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, and said with a calm expression: "Print some footprints on the trap, that animal is smart, I saw with my own eyes that we dug a pit, I'm afraid it won't be easy to be fooled, and getting some footprints on it can paralyze it!" ”
"Oh, Lord Xu is careful!" Xue Bingxin said lightly, but she was skeptical in her heart, the tiger was really so smart.
Everyone sat down by the fire, Li Shizhen had already cooked the deer bone soup, and the three of them drank two bowls each, and then gnawed on the deer bones to satisfy their hunger. Yesterday's half of the wild deer had already been eaten, and now it is quite good to gnaw on the meat and bones.
"My lord, the flood is starting to recede!" Li Shizhen gnawed on the meat and bones and said happily.
Xu Jin nodded, but at this rate of receding water, I am afraid that it will not be able to recede in a few days, fortunately, there are still a few wild deer here, as long as the tiger is killed, there is no need to worry about starvation.
After gnawing on the deer bones, Xu Jin began to weave rope out of thatch again, this time adding strips of cloth, which were naturally torn from Xue Bingxin's Hu suit. At first, Xue Bingxin was reluctant to contribute the tattered clothes, but after Xu Jin explained the purpose, she still gave it, but the dirty clothes in it would not be given to death.
The rope with the cloth strips was naturally much tougher, and Xu Jin quickly braided a rope several meters long. Li Shizhen said admiringly: "Lord Xu is a scholar, and he even knows the skills of these women. ”
Xu Jin said with a smile: "Scholars are also people, and they also need food, clothing, housing and transportation, the family was poor when I was a child, and I often helped the family to fetch some firewood and pigweed, and sometimes it is inevitable to weave some straw ropes to use, in fact, this is very simple, just take a serious look at it." ”
Xu Jin's "childhood" is naturally a child in his previous life, his family from the countryside is indeed not rich, since he was a child, he has followed his parents in the field to plan, plant, sow, harvest these farm work have all been done. As for Xu Jin in this life, he has been studying with his talented Lao Tzu since he was a child, and he is really a nerd who is respectful and resting.
Xue Bingxin glanced at Xu Jin with a strange look in her eyes, picked up the rope and pulled it, nodded and said, "It's quite sturdy, but I'm afraid it's not good to use it to trap the tiger!" ”
Xu Jin said with a smile: "To deal with tigers, that trap is enough, this is used to catch wild deer." ”
Xue Bingxin's eyebrows raised slightly: "Are you so sure that the tiger will fall into the trap?" ”
For some reason, seeing Xu Jin's calm appearance, Xue Bingxin was a little unconvinced, this guy is afraid that he is about the same age as himself, but he always does things slowly and methodically, and he looks like he has a chance to win. However, Xue Bingxin also had to admit that Xu Jin was very stable and thoughtful, which could be reflected from the early warning of forming a circle with a rope last night.
Xu Jin nodded and said, "That tiger will definitely fall into the trap, otherwise why would I spend so much effort digging the trap?" ”
"What if not?" Xue Bingxin carried it.
Xu Jin said with a smile: "Let's make a bet, if the tiger falls into the trap, Miss Xue will be the official for three months...... Forget it, it's still a month's guard, and it just so happens that there is no brocade guard by the officer's side. Miss Xue is wearing a dress that fits quite well. ”
Li Shizhen clapped her hands with a smile and said, "This is a good idea, does Miss Xue dare to bet with Lord Xu?" ”
Xue Bingxin was hesitating, but when she saw Xu Jin's playful smile, she was suddenly a little annoyed, and said coldly: "Gamble and gamble, this girl should answer, so what if the tiger doesn't fall into the trap?" ”
Xu Jin said narrowly: "That official will also be your personal guard for a month in turn!" ”
Xue Bingxin said disdainfully: "This girl can use you, a weak scholar, as a guard?" It's a joke! ”
Xu Jin asked rhetorically, "Then what does Miss Xue want to bet on?" ”
"Bet on your ......" Xue Bingxin almost wanted to bet on your life, but she still stopped in time.
Xu Jinqi said: "What are you betting on me? ”
"Bet...... Gambling ...... "Xue Bingxin "bet" for a few seconds and couldn't come up with a "bet" for a reason, and her pretty face couldn't help but be a little hot.
Xu Jin said with a smile: "Miss Xue, let's think about it slowly, anyway, as long as you win, the official will agree to all your requests." Is it possible for you to win, though? ”
Xue Bingxin couldn't help but get angry when she heard this, and sneered: "Okay, this is what you said, even if this girl wants your head at that time, you can't regret it." ”
"It's natural!" Xu Jin smiled lightly, of course, he didn't think that Xue Bingxin would really want his own head, just when she was talking angry.
Xue Bingxin saw Xu Jin's relaxed appearance, and was even more annoyed in her heart, and secretly made up her mind, if she won the bet, she would pick off Xu Jin's head, it was this guy who was looking for death by himself, no wonder me!
However......
At this moment, there was a loud bang from the trap in the distance, followed by a tiger's painful roar.
Xu Jin and the three jumped up in unison, each took a torch and a long wooden spear and ran towards the trap. Everyone ran to the trap and saw that the camouflage above the trap had collapsed, and the tiger's muffled roar was coming from the pit.
There is no doubt that the tiger has indeed fallen into the trap. Xue Bingxin looked at Xu Jin incredulously, as if she had seen a ghost, no, it should have been a god.
Xu Jin didn't expect it to work so quickly, this tiger is really impressive, and said a little proudly: "Xue Guard, let's see if the tiger is dead!" ”
Xue Bingxin stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and walked to the side of the trap, holding a torch to shine into the pit, and sure enough, she saw the tiger lying under the pit panting, the short spear in the pit had been crooked, and I faintly saw blood oozing out of the tiger's abdomen. Xue Bingxin only felt that this tiger was stupid at this time, and she fell into the trap so easily.
At this time, Xu Jin and Li Shizhen also came to the edge of the pit with torches, and when the latter saw the tiger in the pit, he was suddenly a little excited: "Haha, catch it!" ”
The tiger was panting in pain, but when it saw Xu Jin, he immediately struggled to get up and roared angrily. Poor Mountain King, he originally wanted to run over and pee to cover up the smell of Xu Jin's pee, the intention was very simple, it was nothing more than to reassert territorial sovereignty, but as soon as the leg was raised, the urine fell into the trap before it was spilled.
It was the enemy who was very red when he saw him, and the tiger was furious when he saw Xu Jin, and he struggled and wanted to jump out of the trap and bite off Xu Jin's neck.
Xu Jin and the others were all startled when they saw this, and hurriedly poked at the tiger in the pit with a long wooden spear.
Oh......
The tiger was poked and roared continuously, and suddenly jumped up, and actually bit the wooden spear in Li Shizhen's hand, Li Shizhen was young and weak, and was pulled into the trap.
Xu Jin next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, but Li Shizhen's kid was probably frightened, and even grabbed the wooden spear and didn't let go, the tiger weighing five or six hundred catties was extremely powerful, and with a pull, Xu Jin was also taken down by the huge force.
It was too late, but at this critical juncture, the spear in Xue Bingxin's hand stabbed from the opposite side, almost grazing Xu Jin's crotch and stabbing into the pit wall, just holding Xu Jin up.
Xu Jin took the opportunity to pull Li Shizhen back violently, but he spun half a circle and hung under the wooden spear like a monkey. Seeing this, the tiger spit out the wooden spear it was biting, and jumped up to bite Xu Jin, who was hanging above the trap.
"It's over!" Xu Jin saw a sharp pain in his buttocks, probably brushed by the tiger's claws.
Just when Xu Jin thought that he was going to be finished, he suddenly felt that his body was lifted up by a strong force, and then he flew out of the pit for a few meters like a cloud, and his buttocks kissed violently with the earth, painful!
Click......
The wooden spear in Xue Bingxin's hand also broke immediately, it turned out that she was the one who made the force in time to pick Xu Jin up, fortunately, the wooden spear was very powerful, and it only broke when Xu Jin flew out, otherwise Master Xu would have to feed the tiger.
