    The two of them rode forward while admiring the mountain scenery on both sides of the road. At this time, the sun was about to cover the mountains, and a sunset glow floated in the western sky, illuminating the earth red.

    Tieniu looked at the afterglow sky and said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, let's go quickly, it will be dark soon, let's quickly find a small hotel to stay in front.

    If it gets dark and we can't even find a small shop, then we will be in trouble. Although it's not very cold now, it's not a big deal to live in the wild at night, right?

    Besides, what shall we have for dinner that night?  "

    Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

    "Well, you're right, but, look at this barren mountain, it's hard to find a place to stay!

    Let's go, let's take whatever step we go, fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, where can we do anything to us?  "

    The two of them hurried along the rugged and winding mountain road, while searching for a place to stay, until the red sun fell to the west, the two of them did not find a hotel.

    Tieniu was really anxious when he saw it.

    "I said brother, do we have to live in this wilderness tonight? Alas, this is a mess."

    Duan Wuji thought about it for a while and said: "Why don't we find a farmhouse to live in first, anyway, it will cost money, and a place to live is better than a place not to live."

    Niu Tie thought for a while and said: "Well, that's fine, then let's find a farmer's house to live in first, and before we leave, why don't we give them two more silvers? Anyway, we have silver on us, and I guess we won't be able to spend it no matter what.  Finished."

    After finishing speaking, the two continued to grope Hei'er and beat the horse forward, and then walked for a dozen miles, Duan Wuji pointed to a small mountain depression in the west with his hand.

    "Brother, look, there is a faint light over there. It is estimated that there must be someone there. Let's go, let's go and flee. If it is too late, there will be nothing we can do."

    Tieniu looked along Duan Wuji's finger, didn't he, and sure enough, he found a little flickering light in the western mountain depression.

    Tieniu was very happy to see him.

    "Brother, since there are residents, what are we waiting for? Let's go, the light is estimated to be two or three miles away, let's go quickly, in case someone turns off the light, we will be in trouble."

    The two turned their horses and headed straight to the place with lights and rushed over.

    When I got closer and took a closer look, there was indeed a small mountain village at the bottom of this or that hillside, with a dozen or so families scattered here and there.

    As expected, the house on the east side had its lights on, and Tie Niu jumped off his horse in a hurry when he saw it.

    "Brother, look at the horses waiting here, I'll knock on the door."

    Tie Niu threw the horse to Duan Wuji, and ran towards the house in three steps and two steps. When he came to the door, Tie Niu stepped forward and slapped the door knocker and shouted loudly: "Is anyone there, please open the door."

    "Boom, boom, boom"

    The iron ox knocked a dozen times before someone answered.

    "Who is it? What's the matter with knocking on the door so late?"

    An old voice asked: "We are passing by, and we have not found the hotel in this barren mountain. I want to stay at your house for a night. Old man, open the door, it's convenient."

    Not long after, the door opened with a "squeak".

    An old man appeared at the gate.

    "Young man, how many people are there in total? There are too many people and my house can't fit in. My house is small and I don't have so many rooms."

    Tieniu listened and said with a smile: "There are only two of us, there are not many people, old man, you can show kindness and do a good job. We don't want to live in vain. Can we give you the shop money tomorrow?"

    "Hey, what kind of store money do you want? It's not easy to go out, so you can come in."

    Tieniu was very happy when he heard that.

    "Old man, wait a moment, I have a brother waiting beside me! I'll call him."

    "Well, young man, hurry up! It's not okay to keep the door open for a long time at night. Once a beast sees the light breaking in, can we still live?"

    Tieniu listened and nodded.

    "Old man, don't slow down, he is only a dozen feet away from here."

    After finishing speaking, Tie Niu hurried a few steps, came to Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go, I agreed, and I am waiting at the door."

    Two people lead the horse straight?Eat it.  "

    "Then you won't report to the officials?"

    The old man laughed and said, "Why don't we report to the officials? But the county magistrate has no choice!

    There are only about 20 arrests in the county government office. Think about it, that fierce tiger comes out at night and runs so fast, how can it be so easy to catch it?

    No, this tiger has eaten more and more people recently, and the county magistrate can't sit still in the yamen now, and brings these twenty-odd arresters around to arrest them every day.

    However, there is no effect. This thing eats people everywhere, running around from east to west, which can make the county magistrate very busy.

    No, the magistrate of the county recently mobilized the hunters in the mountains to go out together to catch them together. The magistrate of the county recently issued a notice that whoever kills the tiger will be rewarded with fifty silver for the pattern and exempted from taxes for three years, isn't that right?  , Now hundreds of hunters in this mountain alone have been mobilized, alas, I still haven't caught them yet.  "

    Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Hey, it's dangerous, why catch it?"

    "Oh, young man, don't you know that fifty taels of silver is not a small sum! Once you kill the tiger, won't you pay it all at once?

    To tell you the truth, my son has joined the tiger hunting team now, and he leaves early and returns late every day. Am I worried about him, otherwise I would have turned off the lights and gone to sleep.

    Alas, this son is doing such a dangerous job outside, how can I sleep as a father.  "

    After hearing this, Tieniu said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, catching tigers is very interesting. If we don't catch up tomorrow, we will catch them for two days, just for fun."

    Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

    "Well, that's exactly what I mean, but I'm not ashamed to tell you yet. Since my brother also wants to catch this tiger for fun, let's stay here for two days.

    Hey, Brother Tieniu, let's lead the horse to feed the horse first, otherwise how will the horse be used tomorrow!  "

    The two of them came to the yard, led the two horses into the barn, fetched water to drink the horses, and then made a trough of fodder to feed them.

    Then two people entered the house.

    Tie Niu said with a smile: "Old man, which room do we rest in? Today we have traveled all day, and we are tired, so we should rest."

    After hearing this, the old man pointed to the east room.

    "Well, you can rest in this room tonight. There is no one in this room, so you can also rest early."

    When the two entered the room, Duan Wuji whispered, "Brother, go to bed first, I will practice for a while."

    Tieniu whispered: "Then we can practice together, and we will sleep together later."

    After hearing this, Duan Wuji whispered: "How can that be done? Brother Tieniu, who knows if what the old man said just now is true? If we slept together, wouldn't it be dangerous if something happened?

    If you don't want to sleep, then I will sleep first.  "

    Tieniu laughed when he heard this.

    "Brother, you have so many eyes! It's okay, brother, I understand, okay, brother, can't I go to bed first?

    Don't worry, I'll be on duty in the second half of the night to ensure that there will be no danger for the two of us.  "

    Duan Wuji smiled slightly after hearing this.

    "It's fine if you understand what I mean. We can't guard against this person who is away from home. If we are not careful, we will become that unjust ghost."

    Tieniu fell asleep after hearing this, and soon made a sound of sound sleep.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
