Chapter 156 Take some Thank You Gift
The big tiger bit the monk's head.
Shen Ningning just saw the blood spurting out, accompanied by the monk's screams. Before she could take a closer look, Xie Mingxu covered her eyes.
The screams continued, but Xie Mingxu said solemnly: "Don't be afraid."
At this moment, Shen Ningning actually felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
It was as if her family was holding her in their arms.
She didn't struggle or move, and leaned obediently in her big brother's arms.
After a while, the screams stopped.
Xie Mingxu said solemnly: "Two more tigers are coming. Don't open your eyes. I'll take you away from here first."
If the beasts in the mountains are hungry for a long time, it will be very dangerous.
Shen Ningning hurriedly grabbed him with her little hand: "Big brother, let's not rush to leave. I think this big tiger seems to know me. Let me ask them."
Xie Mingxu frowned: "Don't be silly. How can I communicate with tigers?"
However, Shen Ningning had already broken free from his arms.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw several strong men dead or injured, and two tigers with strong bones had climbed over the low wall at some point. They were feasting on the corpses.
The sound of the bones being bitten made even Xie Mingxu's scalp tingle.
But he saw from the corner of his eye that Shen Ningning looked normal.
Of course the little guy was not afraid.
Usually at home, the sound of hundreds of wolves biting bones was even louder than this.
She took two steps forward, and the huge tiger raised its head with a broken limb in its mouth.
The three tigers stopped their mouth movements at the same time and looked at her together.
Xie Mingxu's hand pressed tightly on the hilt of the sword, following Shen Ningning's steps with a vigilant look.
The little guy walked up to the big tiger: "You recognize me, right?"
With a "pop", the broken arm in the big tiger's mouth fell out.
It sat upright, with an inexplicably majestic look in its eyes, and opened its mouth to roar twice.
After hearing this, Shen Ningning's eyes lit up: "Really? That's such a coincidence!"
Xie Mingxu was hesitant: "What did they say?"
Shen Ningning smiled and explained to him: "The tiger said that they heard about me from the small animals around. I live in the Wolf Mountain next door!"
In fact, the little guy didn't finish.
The big tiger said that they ate the meat left by Shen Ningning and the spring she led out.
After listening to the monkeys nearby, I realized that it was a little girl named Shen Ningning who brought life back to the entire mountain range.
The group of little monkeys even took Shen Ningning's little shoes to let the animals in the forest smell them.
From tigers to elks, as well as snakes and bears, and even various birds, they all remembered her breath.
Shen Ningning didn't know that she was comparable to a god in the hearts of these big and small animals.
The animals had a consensus in their hearts that as long as the little guy passed or stayed, there must be water or food.
So when Shen Ningning went up the mountain just now, the tigers followed the breath.
Seeing that there was a group of people to eat, the big tiger said that the monkeys did not deceive them.
Xie Mingxu looked surprised: "The animals... also recognize you? Who are you?"
Shen Ningning tilted her head: "Big brother, do you know Langshan? My family lives there. People outside call me little wolf girl. I live with wolves!"
There is such a strange thing!
Xie Mingxu was extremely surprised.
He said implicitly: "I have been away from the capital for more than three years. I just came back for one day. I didn't know that there was a legendary figure like you."
While they were talking, the three big tigers began to eat people again.
Xie Mingxu took a look, coughed lightly and asked: "Can you tell them not to eat the ones who are still alive, I need to send them back to the government office in the capital."
"Okay!" Shen Ningning turned to look at the tiger: "Don't eat the living ones, and the dead ones are fine~"
Xie Mingxu was surprised again and admired the courage of the little guy.
As expected of a little girl who lives with wolves, she remained calm when seeing such a ferocious beast.
The tigers really understood, and they dragged the dead bandits to the other side to enjoy.
Xie Mingxu took advantage of this time to interrogate the few who were still alive.
The bandits were seriously injured, either bitten by tigers and bleeding, or stabbed by Xie Mingxu with a sword.
Seeing Xie Mingxu approaching, they were already scared to the point of peeing their pants.
"Uncle, please be kind, we just make a living in the mountains. Apart from occupying temples, killing a few people, and eating a few monks, we haven't done anything bad!"
Shen Ningning snorted: "You actually eat people, and you still say you haven't done anything bad!"
Hearing her fierce voice, a smaller tiger ran over, rubbed Shen Ningning's little hand like a big cat, and howled.
It was asking, this person made her angry, should she eat him?
Shen Ningning touched the tiger twice with her little hand: "You can't eat a living one, be good, go play."
The little tiger walked to the side regretfully and lay down, holding the human skull and licking it.
The few bandits who were still alive were so scared when they saw this scene that they cried for their parents.
If they had known that this little girl could command wild beasts, they would never have killed her!
Xie Mingxu kicked: "Stop yelling, tell me the truth, where did the monks go before?"
"Some were eaten... Most of them were sold. We were so hungry that we ate two people." The bandit confessed tremblingly.
Under Xie Mingxu's questioning, the truth surfaced.
It turned out that they were a group of mountain bandits, originally entrenched in the northwest of Langshan Mountain, but not long ago, their accomplices went to Xiangyun Village to rob things and were caught by ambushed officers and soldiers!
Therefore, the remaining group of bandits did not dare to stay for a long time, so they changed their territory.
During the drought year, Fashan Temple is located in a remote area, so few people come here to pray to God and worship Buddha.
So they saw that there were not many monks, so they simply occupied the temple and became kings, and became fake monks here.
If there are pilgrims coming and there are many people there, they will honestly not do anything.
If single pilgrims are found, they may rob their money and threaten them, or they may detain them and sell them into slavery.
Because these people were cautious, most of the people who were robbed were powerless and did not make any publicity after returning to Beijing, which allowed these bandits to become arrogant until now.
When Shen Ningning learned the truth, her eyes widened in surprise: "You are actually the same group as those gangsters!"
Xie Mingxu asked: "By the way, you just said that you live in Xiangyun Village, so you also know about those bandits?"
"I know!" Shen Ningning nodded heavily: "They and Du Yuan cooperated internally and externally to rob the disaster relief food sent by the court. The bandits who were caught have been killed."
As soon as she finished speaking, a bandit said: "Executive member Du? Isn't that right? Isn't that man's name Mr. Wei..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was bumped on the shoulder by a tall man with a mustache next to him.
Xie Mingxu frowned, hearing about the Wei family, he felt that these bandits might not be that simple.
He thought for a while and said to Shen Ningning: "I have to transfer these people to the Dali Temple in the capital. Your beads are relics. Only the monks of the national temple can bless and protect the Dharma. If your family does not come, I can You go to the national temple first.”
Shen Ningning waved her little hand: "Brother, let's go, my friend is waiting for me at the foot of the mountain!"
Xie Mingxu pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay."
He was not sloppy, leaving aside the few bandits who were eaten by tigers. The few who were still alive were tied up with straw ropes by him.
He found a wooden board in the temple and fixed the person on it. Then he said goodbye to Shen Ningning and dragged the bandits down the mountain.
The little guy chased him to the door with bright eyes: "Wow, big brother's arm strength is really amazing...ah! I forgot to ask his name. Well, forget it, we will meet again if we have the chance."
She turned back and looked at the three big tigers: "You helped me, I'm going to get you some thank you gifts! Wait~"
After the little guy said that, he slipped into the fairyland.
The tigers watched her disappear into thin air, their round tiger eyes widened.
