Chapter 2 The Tiger Cow

the next day

The occasional bird song from the mountains woke the girl up from her sleep, and she felt a chill.

The bonfire in front of me has long been extinguished, leaving some charcoal ash and unburned parts on the side.

Another day has begun. The girl thought to herself, and then walked to the stream to wash her face and wake herself up a little.

The cool dew splashed on the skin, and the scattered water droplets streaked across the face. Occasionally, a few rolled down between the delicate collarbones, making the girl feel a chill.

She lifted up her long hair to prevent it from getting wet from the stream, then held up some water to replenish the water, and then stood up.

Let's explore the surrounding area today and see if there is anywhere else where other people live.

Walking downstream along the stream, the dew in the grass in the forest slightly wetted her shoes, so the girl had to be careful to avoid it.

Last night, she seemed to have had a very long dream. In the dream, she seemed to be young and living in a very special place.

It seemed to be a noisy world with tall buildings, streets, vehicles, and pedestrians. People were talking about all kinds of things, some of which she couldn't understand, and some of which she seemed to understand.

And every day she carries her schoolbag to and from school, and on the way she meets friends who are about the same size as herself. They all laugh together and talk happily about the cartoons they watched yesterday.

By the way, what are cartoons? The girl's thoughts were temporarily interrupted here.

It’s better to think about these things later. There will always be time to recall them. The girl encouraged herself.

Why do I need to be cheered up? At this moment, another question flashed across my mind. It seemed that it was because I was not that strong in the past.

The girl sighed slightly, then lightly jumped over a pothole, and then landed on the gray-green rocks, her vision also slightly opened up.

At this moment, she was on a hillside. Below the mountain was a light green and verdant world. The leaves in the mountain forest swayed in the breeze, making a slight swaying sound. The sun slowly rose in the sky, and a faint golden light reflected the world.

Compared to the stream and woods where we stayed yesterday and in the morning, the world under the mountain seems to be more lively.

Just standing on this rock, she could hear the squirrels, raccoons, chirping wild boars, pecking birds, and small insects crawling among the dead leaves in the forest leaves.

The stream at your feet also met a small cliff here. The stream flowed down the mountain wall and fell into a cold pool below.

The girl looked around and saw that there seemed to be no smooth way to go.

Finally, she found a flatter place and jumped down.

The body seems to have entered another world from one world, everything around it becomes alive, and the body becomes slightly warmer in the sunlight.

The girl's toes landed among the soft grass and fallen leaves. The girl took a few steps forward to absorb the force of her fall, and then she slowly stood still.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be no people around here. The girl had to continue walking down the mountain.

In this way, until dark, still in the endless mountain forest, the girl had to stop temporarily, looking for dead branches and leaves, preparing to light a bonfire and spend the night.

Compared with yesterday, the vegetation on the mountainside was richer, which also allowed the girl to find edible fruits.

It seems that the name is persimmon. The girl looked at the orange-yellow and bluish fruit in her hand, with a light layer of white frost on the surface.

After peeling it open, the pulp inside is somewhat sweet, but there is also a slight astringency left.

But there were quite a lot of them. The girl looked up at the big tree in front of her. The persimmons were hanging one by one on it, which was very tempting.

She was able to fill her stomach today. A slight happiness arose in her heart.

While she was eating persimmons, a rapid crashing sound came from a distance. The girl raised her head in surprise. Before she could find out what happened, she saw a strong "cow" rushing from the forest.

come out.

The tall and powerful body was intimidating, while the girl beside him looked slender and weak.

The girl had to jump away quickly to avoid the impact of the giant bull. The fierce air flow it brought directly lifted the girl's hair, and her clothes also made a whirring and swaying sound with the air flow.

Missing a hit, the cow's hooves kicked down hard in the forest, sliding for a short distance before it came to a stop. Then it turned around again and stared at the girl with its bright black eyes.

It was panting heavily, and the horns on both sides were extremely huge. They were black in color and had rough lines on them. They looked very ferocious. If they were stabbed by these two sharp horns, a giant horn would probably appear on the body.

hole.

But what surprised the girl most was that some of the characteristics of the cow were not consistent with the common sense in her memory.

The fur on its body is maroon with black stripes, making it look more fierce. Its cry is like someone's painful groan, which makes people shudder.

Seeing this giant bull weighing nearly 400 kilograms staring at her, the girl was a little scared. She slowly took a few steps back, looked at the persimmon she had already taken a bite of, and slowly placed it on the ground.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just took a bite. Mr. Niu Niu, please go around me."

The girl said words that she was not sure whether the other party could understand, and took a few steps back, preparing to avoid the conflict with the giant bull.

Ling——uh——

The strange cry sounded again, and the giant bull seemed not to listen and rushed towards the girl again.

This is bad, the girl thought, and her body ran quickly, but the cow seemed to be particularly strong and faster.

The thick horns carried huge inertia and passed by the girl's side, almost hitting her fragile body. The girl was also staggered by the air waves from the collision of the giant bull, and almost lost her balance.

This was not possible. After the girl stood firm, she quickly looked for a place to hide.

She kicked her toes on the ground, jumped up, and then fell down again. After jumping over some obstacles, she finally stood on a higher stone.

At this time, the giant bull also turned around again and rushed over.

The girl jumped down from the side to avoid the collision of the giant bull, and the giant bull hit the stone with its head.

Originally, the girl thought that the giant bull would hit her head on the stone and bleed her blood. But what she didn't expect was that the huge stone was knocked into a crack by the bull and then shattered into several pieces.

Looking at the gray and white stone powder still remaining on the horns, the girl felt her heart tremble. If she was hit directly, the result would definitely be even worse.

After a while, fear rose in my heart, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

At this moment, the giant bull charged towards the girl again, its voice was like moaning and whimpering, and its momentum was like thunder and fire hitting rocks, violent and trembling.
