Chapter 200: Catching Tigers
Everyone searched for a day, but only found some tiger hair on the nearby hills, but did not find any nests. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Chen Shuo had to organize his team and walk towards the village.
He Da was worried about his family and refused He Sanlang's invitation to have a meal together and returned home.
My wife was washing vegetables in the yard. When she saw He Da come back, she greeted her. She turned around to wash vegetables, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly stood up and asked, "Where is your son? Are you going to search for big insects today?!"
He Da was confused: "He pointed us in the place and went to school. Why? Haven't you come back yet?"
"No!" The wife suddenly panicked, "You may have searched for the big insect, and you may have made the beast anxious. I don't know where to go. On weekdays, my son has already left school and returned home, why haven't he come back today?!"
Seeing that his wife was anxious, He Da hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be impatient, maybe he will go with others after school."
Seeing his wife looking at him, He Da was a little nervous for no reason and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to another house to see. Those children are all going home together after school. Just see if others are back."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the house and went to the houses of the children who went to school with Dogtou to ask. After asking, he found out that the children who went to school in the village had not come back today. The countryside did not strictly control the children and occasionally came back late, so he did not take it seriously. After asking, everyone felt something was wrong and got together to discuss: "Even if you don't walk through the woods at the foot of the mountain, the other road is not remote, it's just a small river. Could it be that the children have changed their new roads and are so playful that they refuse to go home?"
He Da felt uneasy and said, "We searched the hill for a day today, but we didn't find any trace of the big insects. The nest of the animal is unknown. Now things are very different, and we should not be like usual. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the yamen are in the village, and we asked them to go with us to search for the children along the way. It will be dark and find the children back soon to avoid accidents."
Everyone said yes, and went to He Sanlang's house together.
The banquet was being held in the yard. When He Da and his friends came in, He Sanlang hurriedly came up and asked what had happened.
He Dada talked about the matter and said, "These children are all the flesh of the family. If we go out together on weekdays, we will just look for it. Now we are fighting big insects, and maybe we are provoking the beast. It is better for a few of us to go together to make everyone feel at ease."
He Sanlang thought about it, came to Chen Shuo and said He Da's words.
Chen Shuo said: "We didn't have much distance from left to right, so we searched along the road and it was not too late to come back for dinner. Everyone, we have cleaned up the guys and searched along the road together. If we happen to meet that beast, we will take it back to celebrate the merits!"
It was almost dusk, and He Sanlang brought a few torches and everyone left the village in a mighty manner.
As we walked along the way, we could not see any children. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, everyone began to feel uneasy. After walking for more than two miles and being far away from the village, He Sanlang took out his own fire and lit the torch, and began to feel something was wrong in his heart.
Not far away, suddenly a shout came from the front: "Don't go forward, the big worm is lying there!"
Everyone was shocked and stopped quickly. At this time, the sun had already set in the mountain, and it was dizzy and difficult to see clearly in front of them. Several people raised their torches high and vaguely saw a big tree in front of them, and the sound came from there.
He Da heard the sound of his son, stepped forward two steps and whispered loudly: "Darang, is it you? I am your father!"
I heard the sound of a dog head coming from the big tree: "Dad, it's me! A big worm lay under the tree, let's hide on the tree!"
He Da breathed a sigh of relief. The father with other children next to him was anxious and stepped forward and asked, "Where are the other children?"
"Everything is on the tree! The big worm is lying on the road and we dare not go down!"
Everyone let out a sigh. Chen Shuo said loudly: "Fortunately, it's good that people are fine. Brothers, prepare guys, let's go forward and meet the beast for a while! Follow my orders, you must not go forward without my orders!"
Everyone made a loud claim that several officers took the torch from the villagers, two of them posed bows and arrows, one held a fork, and four others opened a huge fishing net, holding the torch and slowly walked forward.
Not long after walking, the torch finally saw clearly the situation ahead. A big tree on the side of the road, several children who were going to school were lying on the tree, hugging the branches tightly. Below the tree, a large insect full of colorful bodies was lying. Everyone got closer, and the insect just turned slightly, looked at everyone, then turned around, and still stared at the children on the tree.
Cavalry Power Zhou Su said: "I don't care about our love, aren't it because I'm sick?"
Chen Shuo said: "Don't take it lightly! The big insect has such a temperament. When you look lazy, you will take human life like lightning. Everyone watches it, as long as the hair on their bodies moves, they will gather together to prevent him from rushing over and biting people!"
Everyone said yes, but they didn't believe it. Even if it was a beast, seeing so many people surrounding him, the big bug shouldn't be there, as if he hadn't seen a few people.
As we got closer, we could see the situation ahead clearly. I saw a big insect, like a calf, lying on the ground. His eyes were like copper bells, emitting a cold light in the dark night. His body moved slightly, and he could vaguely hear the sound of panting.
Zhang Lin whispered to Chen Shuo: "Before we formed a team, we heard from old hunters that big insects are different from ordinary wild wolves and rarely confront hunters. Even if they meet people, they are nothing. If you don't want to hurt people, you will walk away openly and stop them if you want to hurt people. This beast doesn't care about it, but once it moves, it will hurt people!"
Chen Shuo said: "I heard from the old hunter that this is true, but we have never seen it before, so we should act carefully."
To take a few steps forward, Chen Shuo said to the four people who were opening the net: "You open the net and move forward slowly. I'll shoot an arrow here to see how the beast deals with it. If it doesn't move, maybe it's really injured."
Zhou Su and others of Zhangwang said that the two men held one side tightly and slowly moved forward. Muskets were a powerful weapon in the army. This time the wing army scattered in various villages and did not bring them to hunt tigers. The army specially made this thick rope net, which was specially used to catch tigers. Zhangwang's four men were all tall and strong men, and after training and cooperation, they would cover the net on their body, so that others could deal with it calmly.
Seeing the big net open, Chen Shuo opened his bow and arrow, looked at the big insect's butt, and shouted inwardly, and the sharp arrow flew out.
In the blink of an eye, the sharp arrow shot on the tiger's butt, but it did not pierce and slid down the fur. Chen Shuo said intimately that it was not good, but he didn't expect that the fur of the beast was so tough and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
The big insect was attacked and slowly stood up, turned around, looked at Chen Shuo and others, and shook their tails slightly.
Chen Shuo's heart tightened and said hurriedly: "Be careful! The beast pounced, as fast as lightning. Don't take its way!"
Everyone was nervous and became nervous.
Unexpectedly, the big worm stood up and just looked at everyone quietly, occasionally waving his tail, and did not attack.
The night became darker and the cool breeze rose. He Da was anxious and stepped forward and said, "The wind was rising at night. How can the children on the trees stay? Can you stop the big trees there with the net? I will go up and take them back. After picking up the children, we will go back to the village and look for this beast tomorrow."
Chen Shuo thought for a while and said, "If you let it go today, it will be difficult to find it again. It will be bad if you hurt someone elsewhere."
He Da said anxiously: "Can we wait here, how can the children on the tree stand up? If one is not good, will it fall down the tree and fall into the mouth of the beast? The night is already dark. If it takes a child and runs away, where can I find it?"
Chen Shuo hesitated for a while and said, "Well, save the child first. Zhou Su, you four people in the net, slowly go and separate the big tree from the beast. Send people here to climb the tree and follow the child first."
Zhou Su and others agreed, spread the big net and slowly turned to the big tree.
The big insect looked at everyone coldly. When they saw them reaching the big tree, they suddenly arched up and let out a low roar. The roar pierced the night sky, with a strange power that made people feel shocked.
He Da was worried about his son, so he didn't care about the danger. He quickly ran towards the big tree and shouted, "Son, you bring people down and I will catch you!"
At this moment, the big insect suddenly jumped from the ground and rushed towards He Da like lightning.
Zhou Su and Liu Huai, who were opening the net, were shocked and thought to themselves that it was not good. The big insect saw it very accurately. This time, it happened to bypass the big net and pounced on He Da who was determined to pick up his son.
The closest cavalry utility Liu Huai shouted loudly, raised his arms, and covered the net in his hand on the big worm that was rushing towards him. All he had was the end of the net. How could he hold a tiger? He was taken out together with himself.
Zhou Su, who held the other end of the wooden stick, held it tightly with both hands, was dragged to the ground and stopped the big bug with a wooden stick.
Chen Shuo saw it, quickly stepped forward, and whispered loudly: "Turn the Internet, turn the Internet, and trap this animal net!"
Liu Huai was slipped on the big worm and his legs hit a big rock. He felt a sharp pain coming. He held the wooden stick in both hands and covered the net with Zhou Su behind him.
The big insect noticed something was more, and suddenly let out a long roar and his claws hit Liu Huai not far away.
Liu Huai felt a sharp pain, and his hands were already covered in blood. Zhou Su, who was behind, saw the opportunity, jumped up, and took a step forward, entangled the big worm with a net. Wang Liang and Tan Chen, the artilleryman behind, rushed up a few big steps and covered the big worm with a net.
