Under the big tree, the fresh meat in the two wooden barrels was quickly eaten, and the little eunuch who had just been bitten to death also became dessert. The beautiful tiger left with satisfaction.
Yang Fan waited for a while, then jumped down from the tree, turned around and left without any hesitation.
He did not take the original route, but took a different path down the mountain. The iron rod in his hand gave him a sense of security. He was cautious all the way. When he reached the outside of the mountain forest, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just at this time, a eunuch carrying a wooden barrel and with a sullen face emerged from the woods. When he saw Yang Fan, he took the initiative to talk to him: "My friend also offended someone?"
"Oh? Why did you say that?"
Yang Fan looked at the eunuch in front of him. He had a bitter face and looked bitter and resentful. There were many signs of damage on his clothes, and he looked quite embarrassed.
"It goes without saying that everyone came to Hushan to feed the tigers. Isn't that offending someone?" The eunuch curled his lips.
Yang Fan smiled: "I'm Yang Fan, what do you call your friends?"
"Duchesne."
Yang Fan chatted with the other party for a few words and got to know more about this place. When he heard Du Shen talking about some precautions, his eyes became dangerous.
"So, each person only needs to pick twenty barrels and throw them into the forest?"
"good."
Du Shen couldn't help but glance at Yang Fan, as if he understood something, and said, "You didn't do anything good for those bastards, did you?"
"No."
"Then you're in trouble. Those bastards are all villains who suck blood and marrow. If you don't give them any benefits, they will definitely punish you secretly. Tell me, how many buckets do they ask you to pick?"
Duchene looked curious.
Yang Fan said expressionlessly: "Fifty barrels. Besides, no one told me to just throw the fresh meat in the mountains and forests. I thought it was going to be sent to Hucheng."
"They are going to torture you to death!"
Duchesne was stunned.
For twenty barrels, a stronger one would have to make ten trips, but for fifty barrels, it would require at least twenty-five trips, and the risk would be many times higher.
Du Shen looked at Yang Fan with sympathy: "Listen to my brother's advice and go back and give those villains some benefits. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass today's test."
"I have the benefits, but it's not their turn yet."
Yang Fan's expression remained unchanged.
Did these eunuchs do such sinister tricks on their own, or did Eunuch Li give them a hint?
Either way, he was aware of his dangerous situation, but he had no intention of bowing to those eunuchs or begging for mercy from Eunuch Li.
After all, life is never sought, but earned.
So today, he decided to venture into Hushan. At least the path he walked with his feet would give him more peace of mind than the path he walked with his knees.
The two of them returned to the small terraced courtyard at the foot of Hushan Mountain together. Du Shen greeted the eunuchs in the courtyard with a smile, honestly selected a bucket, and carried it out with difficulty.
Yang Fan still picked up two wooden barrels.
Duchen glanced at him but said nothing.
He had already said what needed to be said on the way, but Yang Fan had already made a decision and would not change it easily.
Seeing them leave, the eunuchs in the courtyard became lively again.
"Why is this guy named Du not dead yet?"
Someone asked curiously.
"Forget it, he made you, Mr. Fan, lose all the pants I almost lost! He has been here since I came on duty for three years, and he is still unscathed!"
Lao Fan said with a gloomy look.
"Haha, it's rare that you, Old Fan, get frustrated! It seems that this guy named Du really has two brushes under his hands."
"Fart, he is just so lucky. He has encountered tigers a lot in the past three years, and he got away with it every time. Take the last time, for example, four people went into the mountains together and met a tiger that had been hungry for several days.
I know three people were killed by tigers, but he came back with a full beard and a shadow."
Lao Fan secretly tested Du Shen, but found that Du Shen was indeed an ordinary person, with loose muscles and bones all over his body, and could not even achieve the strength of an ox.
In the end, he could only conclude that although this guy was ugly, he was very lucky, so whoever was next to him would be unlucky!
etc!
Lao Fan suddenly thought of Yang Fan who was walking with Du Shen, and his face turned green. If Yang Fan died today, wouldn't he have to pay for it if he was the banker?
"However, the newcomer's luck is not bad. He didn't die for the first time in the mountains."
Finally someone mentioned Yang Fan.
"Look, even if he picks two buckets at a time, he still has to make twenty-five trips. I don't believe he can pass today's test!" Someone laughed slyly.
"That's right, that's right!"
The people nearby laughed.
Not to mention that there is an unlucky guy named Duchesne with him!
After leaving the yard, Du Shen looked at Yang Fan who was calm and composed, and secretly raised his thumb in his heart: "Brother, you are a person! If you don't die today, my brother will definitely treat you to a drink someday."
"Then it's settled!"
Yang Fan didn't mind having multiple friends and nodded in agreement.
After the two passed the high wall and iron fence, they separated.
This is what Duchene suggested. When people gather together in Hushan, the danger is often greater, and it is more convenient to act alone.
Yang Fan didn't refuse, and went into the forest carrying the barrel.
"Wish you good luck!"
Du Shen smiled slightly, and his originally laborious movements to carry the bucket became brisk, and he quickly changed direction and entered the forest, his speed was almost faster than a rabbit.
In the mountains and forests.
Yang Fan, who entered the forest for the second time, obviously had some experience. He quickly put the two barrels into an open space in the forest.
This time he did not leave in a hurry, but chose to continue in depth with a plan.
With the barrel as the center, Yang Fan gradually explored the surrounding environment. He even drew a simple map and marked the places with prey bones and tiger excrement nearby.
Including some traces of barrels abandoned in the forest, he also wrote them down one by one.
Through these traces, he was able to roughly deduce the areas in this area where tigers often appear.
Obviously, he was determined to have a long battle on Tiger Mountain.
In this way, he ran back and forth more than a dozen times, gradually expanding the scope of his exploration, and even determined the location of the tiger by placing the barrels! www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
During this period, he encountered several tigers, but he avoided them all accurately.
When he appeared in the small courtyard at the foot of Hushan Mountain for the twenty-fifth time, Lao Fan, who was sitting at the table, almost smiled like a flower, and took the initiative to greet him: "You have picked so many times, are you thirsty? Do you want it?
Let’s drink some water first and sit here to rest, okay?”
That attentive look made the eunuchs around him look ugly for a while.
"No."
Yang Fan declined the other party's kindness and without staying much, he directly picked up the last two barrels and entered the mountain again.
This time, he wants to do something big.
In the small courtyard.
Facing the happy-looking Lao Fan, a eunuch couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily: "Old Fan, are you cheating? How could this guy make more than 20 trips and still not die?"
Lao Fan was not polite, stared at him with a pair of bull's eyes and shouted: "What are you doing! You are allowed to win, but I am not allowed to win? He is not dead, that is his ability! Besides, our bucket has also been added, it is time to explain.
I’ve also kept the matter a secret, what else do you want?”
The other eunuchs were all speechless.
How about it?
Of course I want Yang Fan to die!
Otherwise, except for the banker Lao Fan, they will all lose a lot of money!
Among the crowd, the two eunuchs who had bet the most exchanged a look, and one of them immediately slipped out of the courtyard quietly and headed straight for Hushan.
"Humph, if you want me to lose money, there's no way!"
