Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 98 was secretly left behind
Liu Qingsong's nervous forehead also had beads of sweat.

After all, there is a tiger standing in front of us.

And it is an adult tiger.

Judging from his size, he is even bigger than a calf. If a fight really breaks out, even if he has weapons like a broken knife, his life or death is likely to be in danger.

However, unexpectedly, after Xiao Heikui growled twice at his feet, the big tiger actually turned around and walked away in shame, heading towards where Wang Zongqiao was.

Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. In order to avoid any more trouble and to prevent the big tiger from coming back to attack him, he quickly put away the broken knife and ran towards the foot of Tiger Mountain with Xiao Heikui.

Liu Qingxu, Zhou Mazi, Zhou Yiyi and others hurriedly followed behind with Boss Wang and other wounded people.

In just a moment, they disappeared into the woods.

……

After leaving the woods.

Liu Qingsong stopped again.

Xiao Heikui also barked wildly at the bubbling ground in front of him.

The bubbling ground was obviously a swamp. Although it was covered with weeds, the sharp-eyed Liu Qingsong could still distinguish it.

Just when I was trying to find a way to get around it, I suddenly heard some movement in the Miscanthus grass on the right.

This made Liu Qingsong take off the broken knife on his back vigilantly, and Zhou Mazi, Zhou Yiyi and others also raised their hunting rifles.

But the next second they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the reason, it turned out that Yamei, Liu Dazhuang and other Liu family members carried Zhou Chuanxiong on a makeshift stretcher and crawled out of the mimosa grass to release him.

"Are you lost?" Liu Qingsong put away the broken knife and asked the mute girl and the others.

The mute girl nodded repeatedly, with an anxious look in her eyes.

The other members of the Liu family were also dejected.

After finding that the surroundings were safe.

They all collapsed on the ground.

Liu Dazhuang wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, "Qingxu, do you still have water on you?"

The other members of the Liu family also looked at Liu Qingxu eagerly.

Apparently, they were all out of water.

Otherwise there wouldn't be such an expression.

"Where do I get water? I was in such a hurry that I didn't even bring a water bottle with me when I went up the mountain." Liu Qingxu replied with a wry smile.

As soon as these words came out.

All the members of the Liu family looked as if they wanted to curse.

After all, who would go up the mountain without a water bottle?

Seeing this, hunters such as Zhou Mazi and Zhou Yiyi took out their water bottles, but when they opened the lids, they found that most people had tied the bottles around their waists.

Only Zhou Yiyi handed the kettle to Liu Dazhuang: "Drink sparingly, I am the only one in our group who still has half a kettle of water."

"Okay!" Liu Dazhuang took the kettle gratefully, then used the lid to collect water and drank it carefully.

When it was Liu Qingxu and the mute girl's turn to drink.

There is no water in the kettle.

This made Liu Qingxu want to die.

But he didn't know how to say much, after all, he didn't even bring a water bottle with him when he went to Tiger Mountain.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Liu Qingsong opened his cowhide backpack, took out the military water bottle wrapped in rags, and handed it to the mute girl who was thirsty.

Liu Qingxu's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.

I was just about to run over to have a sip or two of water.

The hunters in Zhou Mazi, Zhou Yiyi's team took out the dry food they had brought with them. Some hunters even took out wine jugs and glasses. They sat together and ate and drank with the dry food, talking and laughing.

As for Liu Qingsong, Liu Qingxu, Liu Dazhuang, Yamei and other members of the Liu family, they were not invited.

It's not that they are too stingy, but it was agreed beforehand that each team would eat its own dry rations, and the game hunted by each team would also belong to each team. Before, Liu Qingsong hunted two big wild boars and they did not participate in dividing the meat. Naturally, Liu Qingsong and other members of the Liu family would not have a share of the dry rations and wine.

Liu Qingxu naturally knew the situation here, so he didn't want to beg for food. Instead, he said to Liu Dazhuang and other Liu family members: "Zhou Mazi and the others are eating dry food to replenish their energy. Let's take out some dry food to eat as well!"

"All our dry food is stored with Liu Qingshui and Liu Qingshu." Liu Dazhuang smiled bitterly and reminded, "Now they are carrying the wild boar back and haven't joined us yet. Where can we get dry food?"

"What?" Liu Qingxu was dumbfounded.

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Mazi and other hunters burst into laughter.

After all, experienced hunters like them would never make such low-level mistakes.

"No...what are you laughing at?" Liu Qingxu had a dark face and was about to say something to all the Liu family members present, but Xiao Heikui suddenly started barking wildly towards the bushes in the north and then ran over.

"Xiao Heikui is back, it's dangerous!" Liu Qingsong shouted.

But Xiao Heikui didn't listen.

Instead, he quickened his pace and dived into the bushes.

This gave Liu Qingsong a terrible headache. Just as he was about to go over to take a look, Xiao Heikui came out of the bushes holding a gray rabbit in his mouth, and then dragged it all the way to Liu Qingsong's feet.

After throwing it on the ground.

Little Heikui raised his cute head and called out twice.

What it means is: Don't worry if you have nothing to eat, you can eat the wild rabbits it catches.

After Liu Qingsong realized what was going on, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But he did not reject Xiao Heikui's kindness.

Instead, he picked up the hare and threw it in front of Liu Dazhuang: "Uncle Dazhuang, if we don't have anything to eat, we can roast it and eat it."

"Are you sure?" Liu Dazhuang rubbed his hands happily.

Other members of the Liu family also gathered around.

"Sure." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Then I won't be polite." Liu Dazhuang picked up the rabbit, took out the small knife he carried with him and started skinning it.

Zhou Mazi, Zhou Yiyi and other hunters in the team.

That was something I envied so much.

Some hunters even got angry at the hunting dogs around them.

Why can't hunting dogs catch hares? They just follow around but do nothing.

Although Liu Qingsong saw this scene, he didn't bother to do anything but asked Zhou Mazi, "Grandpa Zhou, there are many swamps and miasma in this area. How are we going to get out after we have rested?"

"There is only one way at the moment." Zhou Mazi patted the grass debris on his body and stood up: "Let's split into two groups and go in two directions. If we feel something is wrong, we can go back to where we were and wait."

“If you think the road is right, just go down the mountain.”

"In this way, those who are waiting here can also follow us out of Tiger Mountain."

"So which direction do you plan to go?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Anyway, I'm not going in the same direction as you Liu family." Zhou Mazi said with a smile.

This sounds as if the Liu family is a burden.

Although Liu Qingsong heard the hidden meaning in the words, he did not care about it. Instead, he turned around and went back to help roast the rabbit.

After all, whether he is a burden or not, we will only know after we get off Tiger Mountain.

What surprised Liu Qingsong was that the rabbit had not been roasted for a few minutes when Xiao Hei Kui suddenly dived into the bushes and disappeared.

Gold Coin saw this.

Lian followed behind happily.

A few minutes later, they both came back one after the other.

But they did not return empty-handed. Xiao Heikui had a pheasant in his mouth, and Jinbi had a half-grown wild goat in his mouth.

Looking at the bloodstains on Xiao Heikui's body, it was obvious that it had killed the wild goat, but it couldn't drag it, so it could only give it to the gold coins.

As for why they went out to hunt game again, it was obvious that one rabbit was not enough to eat.

Liu Dazhuang, who was roasting a rabbit, was so shocked when he saw this scene that he was speechless.

The other members of the Liu family, including Liu Qingxu, were also dumbfounded.

But Liu Qingsong frowned, stepped forward and gently kicked Xiao Hei Kui: "Who told you to leave without permission to catch game? What if you encounter danger?"

Xiao Heikui dropped the pheasant in his mouth.

Then he squatted on the spot, raised his cute head and looked at Liu Qingsong with grievance.

Liu Qingsong's heart softened immediately. After a light sigh, he had to squat down and touch the little black boy's chubby head: "Don't do this again next time. Do you hear me?"

"Aoao~~!" Xiao Heikui called out twice, then happily held the pheasant in his mouth and walked towards Liu Dazhuang with the gold coins.

Not far away, hunters such as Zhou Mazi and Zhou Yiyi frowned in jealousy when they saw this scene.

But they didn't say anything. They just packed up their things silently and carried Zhou Chuanxiong on the stretcher towards the dense woods in the west.

Seeing this, Liu Qingxu asked Liu Qingsong: "Should we send someone to follow? It's obvious that old man Zhou Mazi doesn't want to take us out!"

"If you don't want to take it, then don't take it!" Liu Qingsong smiled.

He could understand Zhou Mazi. After all, Zhou Mazi's team had returned empty-handed after going to Tiger Mountain today, while he not only hunted two big wild boars, but also obtained wild Ganoderma lucidum.

This is what he said.

This will make you feel unhappy.

"But how can we get out without it?" Liu Qingxu asked.

The other members of the Liu family also looked over worriedly.

They are not Zhou Mazi, nor are they professional hunters. If they cannot get out of Tiger Mountain before dark, they will be in big trouble.

"We will be able to get out." Liu Qingsong replied confidently, "But before that, let's fill our stomachs first."

"Okay!" Liu Qingxu didn't say anything else.

After all, Liu Qingsong is so confident, so he naturally chooses to believe it.

Seeing that some members of the Liu family were dealing with the wild goat, Liu Qingxu walked over quickly: "Hey! Hey! We only need to eat one leg, and leave the rest to Yamei and Qingsong. After all, this wild goat was caught by their hunting dogs, and we can't be shameless." The Liu family members who were dealing with the wild goat laughed awkwardly.

The other members of the Liu family also laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong did not pay any attention to it. Instead, he looked around and walked towards a big pine tree in front.

As he got closer, he rubbed his hands, then climbed up carefully.

After climbing to the top of the tree and standing firmly, he took out a telescope from his cowhide backpack and looked around.

Seeing Zhou Mazi's team getting farther and farther away from the foot of the mountain, Liu Qingsong couldn't help but laugh.

But soon he could no longer laugh. The reason was that he actually saw Wang Zongqiao and other fleeing foreign hunters through the telescope.

The strange thing is that although many of them were injured, the team walking in Tiger Mountain was not in chaos.

After increasing the magnification of the telescope, Liu Qingsong was surprised to find that Wang Zongqiao also had a map in his hand.

In other words, the direction they were heading was definitely correct, it was definitely going down the mountain.

As long as we follow Wang Zongqiao, we will definitely be able to get out of Tiger Mountain safely.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, Liu Qingsong discovered that Wang Zongqiao and others were all fleeing in all directions.

As for the reason for the escape, it turned out that the big tiger encountered before appeared.

The big tiger chased Wang Zongqiao and other hunters and bit them. Although the hunters could shoot back, Liu Qingsong could see through the telescope that this was a battle with a huge disparity in strength.

At least the big tiger will injure a few people before retreating.

That was very relaxing.

But Liu Qingsong didn't pay any more attention to these.

Instead, he looked in other directions through the telescope.

Only after he determined the route down the mountain did he climb down the big pine tree like a monkey.

Not far away, the mute girl saw Liu Qingsong coming down, and hurriedly brought the roasted rabbit hind leg meat and handed it to Liu Qingsong.

"You eat too!" Liu Qingsong took over, tore off a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to the mute girl, then sat on the grass and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

The mute girl was not polite.

He sat next to Liu Qingsong and ate the roasted rabbit meat politely.

Seeing this, Xiao Heikui hurriedly ran to Liu Qingsong, then circled around Liu Qingsong, wagging his tail.

Liu Qingsong smiled at the scene, squatted down and handed all the remaining hind leg meat in his hand to Xiao Heikui.

Seeing Xiao Heikui biting the hind leg of the rabbit and eating it with relish, he looked around and took out a honey pomelo from his cowhide backpack and started peeling it.

There was no way. All the water in his kettle had been drunk by Liu Qingxu and other members of the Liu family. If he didn't replenish some water, his body might not be able to bear it.

After the mute girl saw the honey pomelo.

His eyes suddenly lit up and he came closer.

But Liu Qingxu and other members of the Liu family had no interest at all.

As for the reason, it was obvious that the pomelo in Liu Qingsong's hand was sour.

Liu Qingsong didn't want to give it to Liu Qingxu and other members of the Liu family, so after peeling the skin, he took Yamei and Xiao Heikui to eat it without saying a word.

Finished.

To prevent accidents.

He packed all the pomelo peels and put them into a cowhide backpack.

After doing all this, he stood up and said to Liu Qingxu and other Liu family members: "After eating and drinking, it's time for us to set off."

"Remember, clean up the bloody smell on your body to avoid being chased by wild beasts."

"I understand!" Liu Qingxu nodded repeatedly.

Other members of the Liu family also took action. After putting out the bonfire, they found some leaves such as mugwort, crushed them into juice, and then smeared it on their bodies.

The purpose of doing this is obviously to cover up the smell of blood on the body.

Liu Qingsong also applied it on his body, then took the mute sister, Xiao Heikui, Jinbi, Liu Qingsong and other Liu family members, bypassed the swamp and walked towards the woods in the southeast.

After a group of people walked out of the woods.

Liu Qingsong was about to climb a big tree to use a telescope to check the direction.

Little Heikui mischievously ran away with the gold coins.

Then he brought back a dead eagle.

There is also a little eagle whose feathers haven't even grown fully yet.

The little eagle was not dead, it was being held in the mouth by the gold coin.

When the mute girl saw this, she quickly took it out of the gold coin's mouth, and after hesitating for a moment, handed it to Liu Qingsong.

"You mean, let me take it back to raise it?" Liu Qingsong was stunned when he saw the little eagle handed to him.

The mute girl nodded yes.

Liu Qingsong smiled bitterly.

But he did not refuse, instead he said: "If you want to take it back to raise it, then you can help hold it first. I have to find a way out, otherwise we will all be in trouble."

The mute girl nodded repeatedly and then smiled happily.

Liu Qingsong didn't bother with the mute girl anymore.

Instead, he walked towards a large camphor tree in front.

After climbing up, I took out the telescope and checked the way down the mountain.

……

at dusk.

When the sun is about to set.

Liu Qingsong finally brought the mute sister, Xiao Heikui, Jinbi, Liu Qingxu and other Liu family members out of Tiger Mountain along the winding mountain road.

The moment you walk out.

Liu Qingsong collapsed on the ground.

The mute girl also cried with excitement.

Liu Qingsong and other members of the Liu family were all smiling happily, and then ran towards Liu Qingsong's home at the foot of Wild Boar Ridge.

"Aoao~~!" Xiao Heikui followed with gold coins and other hunting dogs.

But Liu Qingsong did not chase after him at the first moment.

Instead, he took out a telescope and looked in the direction of Wang Zongqiao's house.

When he saw a lot of hunters gathered at the gate of Wang Zongqiao's house, he couldn't help but frown.

Obviously, Wang Zongqiao was not bitten to death by the tiger, but escaped back.

Although this was within Liu Qingsong's expectations, he didn't know why he felt a little unhappy.

After all, if Wang Zongqiao was bitten to death by the big tiger, it would save him a lot of trouble.

But now that things have come to this, Liu Qingsong didn't think too much about it.

Instead, he put away the telescope and walked quickly towards his home at the foot of Wild Boar Ridge with his mute sister.

……

Liu Qingsong's home.

At the gate, on the threshing ground.

Liu Lijuan, her youngest sister and Xiao Nuomi were looking towards Tiger Mountain for the ninth time. Seeing that Liu Qingsong had not returned until evening, she paced back and forth anxiously.

Seeing this, Liu Huagen, who was not far away, comforted her, "Lijuan, don't worry. Qingsong has Qingxu by his side! They..."

The words are not finished yet.

He was interrupted by Liu Qingxu's shout: "Dad, I'm back."

"Hahahaha...we are back."

“It was so exciting to go up the mountain this time!”

The other dozen or so Liu family members who followed behind also spoke happily.

"Then...what about Qingsong?" Liu Huagen asked.

"Where is the mute girl?" Liu Lijuan was also very anxious.

"They are behind us!" Liu Qingxu pointed to the winding mountain road behind him.

Liu Lijuan was about to run over to greet them, but the three little ones, Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei and Pangdun, cheered and ran towards the winding mountain path with their short legs.

Among them, Little Nuomi ran and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, uncle..."

"Hey!" On the mountain path, Liu Qingsong responded and stood there waiting for Xiao Nuomi to run over.

When Xiao Nuomi came closer, he reached out and picked him up.

Then he freed one hand and took the youngest sister's hand and walked towards the door of the house.

"Uncle, do you know? That aunt was very powerful today. She...she actually killed a rat snake." Seeing that Liu Qingsong didn't say anything, Xiao Nuomi started talking vividly.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong smiled: "Did you leave any snake meat for me to eat?"

"I left a big bowl. I left it secretly. Please don't tell Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle." Little Nuomi Lian replied in a low voice, then looked around cautiously.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong was very happy.

"Really!" Little Nuomi nodded his head.

"Third brother, I've left a nest for you as well." The youngest sister added this in order to avoid being scolded by Liu Qingsong.

"I know, I know." When Liu Qingsong saw Liu Lijuan coming over, he put down Xiao Nuomi in his arms and said, "You guys go play!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Little Nuomi took his little sister, Fatty and Little Heikui and ran to the threshing ground.
