Although it is spring, the night temperature in the mountains is still low, so it is really hard to withstand it without wearing a down jacket.

I didn't sleep well that night, and the father and son took turns to watch, mainly because they were afraid of being attacked by beasts.

The next morning, they ate a few bags of snacks, and the two continued to rush to the foot of the mountain.

By noon, the cliff wall in front was more relaxed and had become a hillside less than 60 degrees. The hillside was still dense with vegetation, and various thorny vines blocked the way and had to be split apart bit by bit. Zhu Ming's sweater was scraped out of many holes.

Zhu Guoxiang was similar. He left the down jacket in the car, wearing a wool sweater, which was dirty and torn at this time.

As he walked, Zhu Guoxiang suddenly squatted down and used the dead branches he picked to dig the ground.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Ming asked standing beside him.

Zhu Guoxiang pointed to the plant in front of him: "Wild Polygonatum is both a Chinese medicine and can also be used as disaster relief food. The cliff was too steep before and it was not convenient to dig things, but now we have to collect food. The snacks in the backpack are not enough for us to eat."

Zhu Ming felt it made sense, so he pulled out his sword to help dig Polygonatum.

There is not much food, so you must replenish it along the way.

If he traveled alone, he would probably not be able to get out of the mountains. He would either starve to death if he lacked food or eat wild vegetables to death.

After putting the dug Polygonatum into his backpack and walking for more than ten steps, Zhu Ming pointed to a weed: "Can this be eaten? I remember when I was very young, my aunt cut this grass to feed the rabbit."

Zhu Guoxiang immediately said: "Chiccao can be eaten, clears heat and detoxifies. But it is best to blanch it before eating, otherwise it will taste very bitter."

"It's enough to eat it, you can endure it if you're a little bitter." Zhu Ming waved his sword to cut wild vegetables.

The father and son gathered food while overcoming obstacles.

Suddenly, Zhu Guoxiang whispered: "Don't move around!"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ming said in confusion.

Zhu Guoxiang pushed away the weeds in front of his knees, revealing a large lump of feces. He lay down and smelled them, and then observed carefully: "There are beasts nearby."

Zhu Ming also squatted down to study feces: "It seems that it is a shit caused by large animals."

Zhu Guoxiang said: "The feces of carnivorous animals are even more stinky, and you see that there are bones that are not completely digested in this feces. I am afraid that this piece of shit is either pulled by a wolf or a tiger. Moreover, the distance between the beast is not far, and the moisture of this piece of shit has not completely dried up."

The father and son became alert, clasped their weapons and moved forward carefully, trying to avoid the beast path left by the beast.

Zhu Ming used his sword to cut off a branch and cut off the branches and leaves to make a cane for his father. It not only facilitates the walking down the mountain with a cane, but also uses it as a weapon when encountering beasts.

I continued walking towards the foot of the mountain, and it was approaching evening without realizing it. The dense vegetation made the sky darker.

"There is a voice!"

Zhu Ming not only changed his body back to his youth, but his physical strength and vision improved a lot, but his hearing was even sharper.

Zhu Guoxiang listened carefully: "No."

Zhu Ming said: "Just ahead, there was still some movement just now, but now there is no sound. I guess we are ambushing us."

The father and son stopped moving and stood quietly.

The guy who had been in the stalemate for at least half an hour, finally couldn't help but show up.

"throat!"

A low and loud roar came from the bushes ahead.

Zhu Ming swallowed, turned his head to look at his father: "It seems like a tiger, I have heard of it in the zoo."

"Retreat?" Zhu Guoxiang's face turned pale in fear.

It's too late and can't retreat.

This is a Qinling tiger, a branch of the South China tiger. It is more than two meters long. It will come out for a walk in the morning and evening, which is equivalent to patrolling the territory. The main hunting period is at night.

The huge tiger body completely walked out, opened its bloody mouth, and roared at the two humans: "Shut... roar!"

Zhu Ming held the sword in his hand, and his legs were inexplicably weak.

Zhu Guoxiang's hands were also shaking, holding the crutch, confronting the tiger, his throat was dry and he could no longer speak.

No matter how loud the keyboard is, no matter how loud the brag is, when you really meet the King of Beasts, you will only be left to fate.

Suddenly remembering the allusion of "The Donkey's Skills Are Under the Threat", Zhu Ming reluctantly mustered up the courage and looked at the tiger fiercely... He learned to call him "Ann~Ann~"

Zhu Guoxiang also stamped his feet and shouted: "Ha! Ha! Ha!"

This Qinling tiger may have encountered humans for the first time. He couldn't figure out their background and took a closer look.

Zhu Ming waved his sword and slashed at the tree branch next to him. The small branch broke in response to the sound to show his attack power.

The tiger was startled and jumped out diagonally, and continued to observe the humans to the side, with a little curiosity in his eyes.

The two of them confronted each other on the spot.

The sky became darker and darker, and I couldn't spare time to make a fire. Zhu Ming held the sword in one hand and took out his cell phone in the other, and quickly turned on the flashlight function of the cell phone.

The sudden light made the tiger more alert. He took a few steps back and hid in the grass, lowered his body and prepared to attack at any time.

Zhu Ming's heart was so scared that his heart was beating wildly, and his palms were covered with sweat.

Zhu Guoxiang also took out his cell phone, quickly turned on the flashlight, and whispered to his son: "Get back slowly, I'll block this beast."

"Don't talk nonsense, you can't run away, whoever escapes will be weaker." Zhu Ming had never dealt with a beast, so he could only guess. However, his father's words still touched him a little. After all, this person who is me did not leave his son and ran away alone when he encountered danger.

I don’t know how long it took to confront each other, but the tiger in the grass continued to retreat.

Zhu Ming heard the rustling noise and said numbly: "We will retreat too."

The father and son retreated carefully. As soon as they retreated, the tiger suddenly stepped forward and continued to roar at them. The two of them were so scared that they dared not move.

After repeated this many times, the tiger finally left and disappeared into the bushes.

It is estimated that there is enough food in the mountains, and tigers usually eat very much, so they don’t need to take risks to fight against humans.

Confirm that the thing had gone far, Zhu Ming felt his legs and feet weak, and sat on the ground, muttering: "Damn, damn, who dares to say that sliding shovel can kill a tiger? I crawl over the net cable and kill him!"

Zhu Guoxiang bent down and rubbed his calf. He was so scared that his calves were cramped.

After a while, the two decided to go down the mountain overnight.

They walked in the opposite direction of the tiger. Because they were too nervous and it was difficult to tell the way, they made several mistakes in the middle of the journey.

At dawn, Zhu Ming's cell phone ran out of power, so he took out his power bank and connected it.

Zhu Guoxiang panted and said, "Huhuhuhu, you shouldn't be on the tiger's territory after running so far. When it's dawn, I really can't run."

They were all very tired, and they didn't care about the beasts, and they lay on the ground to rest.

After finally rushing until the rising sun rose, Zhu Ming found that his sweater was rotten and full of holes, with many scratches and bruises all over his body, and even a big bag hit his forehead.

Zhu Guoxiang also fell to his nose and face, and his body was trembling with cold. He was anxious to pick up dead branches and leaves to make fire. The low temperature in the mountains would kill people.

They only had two bags of instant noodles left, took out a bag of noodles and divided them into the dough cakes, and swallowed them with mineral water. The food was completely unfilled, so they took out the Polygonatum digged along the way, and roasted the stems of the two Polygonatum plants. The instant noodles buns were sprinkled on top of the seasoning. Even the instant noodles oil buns were roasted and melted and applied to Polygonatum.

Finally, I messed up my hungry stomach and continued to walk down the mountain.

The terrain became more and more gentle. When we reached the bottom of the valley, it was noon and a small river appeared in front of us.

There are still no traces of human activities on both sides of the river, there are no fertile fields, but they are all thorns and weeds.

Zhu Ming asked: "Where to go? Upstream or downstream?"

"I don't know, my mind is a little confused, I have to analyze the situation." Zhu Guoxiang said.

After being frightened by the tiger, the father and son felt even more in danger and began to work together to find a way out.

"If, I mean if," Zhu Ming forced himself to calm down and analyzed, "Before we traveled through, we were at the boundary of Xixiang County, and not far from the Han River. If we traveled through Xixiang County in ancient times, then the small river in front of us might be a tributary of the Han River."

Zhu Guoxiang knew nothing about history and asked, "Han River belonged to the business path in ancient times?"

"Yes, several dynasties are important business roads," said Zhu Ming. "We follow the river and walk downstream, and we can most likely reach the edge of the Han River. There are merchant ships coming and going, and we will definitely meet ancient people. Let's talk to them first, ask which dynasty it is, and then take the next step according to the actual situation."

Zhu Guoxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to have ideas when doing things. You can't mess around. You can go downstream to find someone after a while."

Zhu Ming sat on a rock and said to himself: "It's not fun to travel through time. It's too tormenting. It's still comfortable to sit at home and shoot videos."

Zhu Guoxiang lifted the hem of his clothes, observed the large area of ​​scratches on his waist, stood up with a cane and said, "I'll go get some herbs."

"Do you really understand herbs?" Zhu Ming felt very magical.

Zhu Guoxiang was happy to show his ability in front of his son and said with a smile: "I came from the countryside. The rural local dogs were injured and they all knew that they went into the mountains to find herbs."

This sounds awkward. Zhu Ming thought about it carefully. Is he scolding himself for being worse than a dog?
