Tang Jie didn't know how he returned to Tao Ran.
After getting rid of the villagers who came up to congratulate them and declined their invitation to purchase, Tang Jie pretended to take risks and was tired, so he walked back step by step with the tiger corpse in his arms.
Along the way, Wu Mathematicians were attracted to stop and watch, pointing and pointing. Tang Jie's ears echoed with the roar of the tiger, and what appeared before him was the affectionate and helpless glance of the tigress before his death.
It wasn't until he returned to his residence that Tang Jie sat weakly on the ground.
He released the little tiger from the beast card.
Perhaps it was because the time spent in the enclosed space was a bit long. As soon as the little tiger came out, he angrily scratched Tang Jie with his paw, and then saw his mother lying there motionless.
Maybe because he thought that his mother was asleep, the little guy circled around her, arching her head from time to time, trying to wake her up.
Finally tired, he fell to the tiger corpse and fell asleep in a daze.
Yiyi got out of Tang Jie's arms, crawled onto his neck, and put her arms around Tang Jie and whispered softly, "Brother..."
Her voice is very low.
The scene that happened today was also a huge shock to this little girl.
"En." Tang Jie responded.
He looked at the tiger carcass, and then at the little tiger who was still ignorant and ignorant. He grabbed Yiyi from his body and placed it next to the little tiger, and said, "Yiyi, can you promise me one thing, brother?"
"Well, brother, you said, Yiyi will do everything."
"From now on, Xiaohu will be your brother. Promise your brother and take good care of him."
"Oh!" Yi Yi crisply replied, "I will take care of Brother Tiger."
"Very good." Tang Jie touched Yiyi's head: "Bao'er is still young, and he doesn't understand many things. You are an older sister. You can't care about some things with your younger brother in the future."
Yi Yi continued to nod seriously.
Tang Jie smiled, then stood up and walked out.
"Brother, where are you going?" Yiyi asked.
"Go get some food for Xiaohu." Tang Jie replied.
No matter how heavy the mood is, life must go on.
…
The news that Tang Jie killed the tiger spread quickly.
After setting a new record, Tang Jie's name once again made a sensation in the college.
Cai Junyang found him that day, and laughed as soon as he saw Tang Jie: "You are so fierce that you dare to run to Tiger Howard Peak to kill tigers, that is a high-grade psychic monster!"
"It's a psychic inferior grade. I killed a tigress, and I was a tigress who had just given birth to a cub. He was weak and weak. It was much easier to kill than ordinary monsters." Tang Jie corrected.
"But after all, it was killed under the eyelids of the top-grade monster beast!" Cai Junyang emphasized, and he couldn't help but sighed: "Huxiaofeng, that's Huxiaofeng! How many students dare not go up, every time. This tiger hunt has to gather hundreds of people before daring to go. In this way, most of the time, you will lose a lot and hurt countless people. You dare to go to the Tiger Peak by yourself, even if you kill only the tigress, it is enough to laugh at the Academy , I'm ashamed of Cai Junyang!"
Cai Junyang is actually a very self-reliant person, and it is easy not to see who he serves, but this time he really did.
It's no wonder that if you talk about heroes in terms of strength, the Lingquan rank is only the lowest rank of the cultivator, and there are many people who are stronger than them.
But in terms of courage, there are not many people who dare to do things like this.
Record-setting only shows strength, and rushing to Tiger Mountain alone shows courage. The latter is often more lacking and more precious than the former, and does not increase with age and strength.
For this reason, not only he, but even Master Xiyue had to look at Tang Jie differently.
"Listening to what you mean, I seem to be able to raise the price again?" Tang Jie asked with a smile.
"Are you still going up?" Cai Junyang's eyes were about to stick out: "I haven't told you what Lin Dongsheng promised yet, are you going to go up again?"
"Just kidding, it won't go up this time. By the way, listening to your tone, Lin Dongsheng agreed to the seven hundred dollars?"
"I agreed a few days earlier, but you stayed in the forging platform for a few days and couldn't come out. I searched for a few times and couldn't find you. As a result, I mobilized everyone to send you a message, but it didn't arrive. Lin Dongsheng was desperately anxious. This is not just the news that you came out, but the tigress was slaughtered, and you really belonged to you!"
"It turned out to be like this." Tang Jie nodded, a little light flashing in his eyes.
Here Cai Junyang has already taken out the six hundred dollars: "Lin Dongsheng asked me to give it to you, and I deducted the one hundred you promised."
"I still think I'm greedy, and I didn't see you politely when I divided the money." Tang Jie replied in an unpleasant way, and accepted the money.
The two joked and laughed for a while, and Cai Junyang left, and only agreed to go down the mountain two days later and go to the Lin family to pray for the old man's birthday. As for the birthday gift, Lin Dongsheng is ready, and the students only need to come to the door with gifts.
Farewell to Cai Junyang, Tang Jie went back to the room to meditate.
He repeatedly thought about his plan, weighed various accidents that might occur in it, and recorded them one by one for analysis.
Yiyi looked at him seriously, and didn't bother him if he was interested, but went to tease the little tiger.
The little thing lost his parents and brothers, and was very uncomfortable at first, and would make a sad low hiss from time to time.
At this time, Yi Yi was like a real sister, holding the little tiger, slapping the little tiger's vest, and speaking in an innocent tone of comfort like an adult.
Although she had never learned this, at this moment she knew it without a teacher.
The pen nib rustled on the paper, and Tang Jie was still immersed in the various accidents that might occur during the execution of the plan, as well as the coping methods.
Finally, he found out some undiscovered problems, and at the same time found out the corresponding solutions.
Seeing the dense plan written on the paper, Tang Jie checked it over and over again and confirmed that there was nothing missing, and then put the plan away.
He took out the formation and materials, and erased the previous formation, Tang Jie actually started to make a new formation.
The new formation was not too difficult, and Tang Jie was quickly completed.
After the preparation was completed, Tang Jie took out the Heartbreaker and swiped it against his wrist. The blood was already gushing out and dripping into the burst.
"What's the matter? Brother." Yi Yi was taken aback by Tang Jie and rushed over.
"It's nothing, it's just more preparation." Tang Jie replied.
The blood poured into the picture and was quickly absorbed. A red brilliance appeared on the array, revealing the energy of life.
Tang Jie continued to bleed without stopping.
While bleeding, he kept throwing in the various spirit fruits obtained from Tiger Howard Peak.
It wasn't until the entire formation of the formation was almost invaded by blood, and a wave of red light gathered, and Tang Jie cut a large piece of meat from his leg and threw it into the formation. It has been quickly closed.
Then a flower in front of him almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Yi Yi came over in time to support him: "Brother!"
The little guy stared at Tang Jie with wide eyes, full of concern.
"I'm fine, it will be fine after a while." Tang Jie smiled at Yiyi.
"Brother, what are you doing? It's scary!"
"It's just some follow-up preparations."
"Brother, are those bad guys hard to deal with?"
"kindness."
"More difficult to deal with than a big tiger?"
"kindness."
"Then we won't fight them, okay?" Yiyi raised his head and looked at Tang Jie and said.
Tang Jie smiled.
He touched Yiyi's head: "Silly girl, I don't want to fight them, but they will find me. Don't worry, Yiyi, brother can deal with them. Brother will defeat them and kill them. You have to believe Brother, after this battle, we will be clean for a long time. But..."
After hesitating for a while, Tang Jie sat down, grabbed Yiyi, and picked up the little tigers, putting them on each side one by one, and then said to Yi Yi with a serious expression, "But my brother may have to go out for a while. Take Yiyi, we will be separated from Yiyi for a few days."
"No!" Yi Yi's eyes reddened, and he rushed into Tang Jie's arms: "I won't leave my brother!"
Saying that, she started to cry and put her arms around Tang Jie's neck, crying so sad: "Brother, did I make you angry because of my disobedience? You don't want me anymore?"
Tang Jie felt a pain in his heart when he heard it, and he hugged Yi Yi and said, "Silly girl, how is it possible, brother doesn't want you. It's just that brother is going to deal with the enemy, you are not suitable to participate."
"I'm not afraid, I want to fight with my brother!" Yiyi shouted.
Tang Jie shook his head: "That won't work. Yiyi is obedient, and you will need to take care of Xiaohu after his brother leaves. Tell him, can you take good care of Xiaohu and yourself?"
"No, no!" Yiyi cried and shouted: "I don't want to leave you, no, don't just don't!"
Tang Jie was heartbroken by her crying, so she could only pat her back and said, "Little fool, in fact, you can help your brother if you are not with your brother. If you are not obedient, your brother will really die. "
Although Yi Yi is a child, she has seen life and death after all, and has experienced wind and rain. He is a fine thing himself, and is much more sensible than ordinary children. When he heard this, he immediately stopped crying, wiped away the tears and sobbed and asked: "What can I do for brother?"
Looking at the little face who was crying into a flowery face, Tang Jie smiled: "First of all, you have to help me keep this pattern..."
He handed the formation map to Yi Yi's hands, and whispered what she needed to do next.
Lying in Tang Jie's arms, the little guy listened more seriously than ever before.
…
After confessing Yi Yi, Tang Jie first went to meet Wei Tianchong, and after returning the puppet to him, he went to the outside to make a circle, and then he went to the Lingtai Pavilion.
Seeing Mrs. Shui, Tang Jie stepped forward to say hello.
Mrs. Water looked at him with a smile: "Good boy, I just came out of the gold forging platform yesterday, and I killed the tigress today. He is really a troublemaker."
"Thanks to his wife's heartbroken knife." Tang Jie directly transferred the credit to the heartbroken knife.
"The baby I gave, I know how many catties there are. After all, it's your clever kid, who just tried to take risks. It's all right, you have done everything, and I also said you can't. But in the future, it is better to take a longer time for such things. , The tiger on Tiger's Peak is not an ordinary top-grade demon tiger, so he can't wait for idle tricks to fool him."
"Boy can save it."
"Come on, what's the matter this time?"
"But there is something to ask Madam for help." Tang Jie handed the tiger corpse to his wife, along with the dissected bear corpse, wolf corpse, and previously unused materials: "First please ask Madam to give an estimate first. "
Mrs. Water frowned: "If you don't sell these things to Huxiao Village, what do you do with me?"
Although Lingmiaofang sells materials, it does not collect much material, or not very much. The output of Huxiao Valley is mainly too worthless, that is, the villagers collect it for processing. Lingmiaofang mainly sells some materials. More high-end materials and finished products.
However, what Tang Jie harvested this time was mainly the materials on Tiger Howl Peak, whose value was much higher than that of ordinary valleys. Even so, it was barely eye-catching in Mrs. Shui's view.
Tang Jie already smiled and said, "If the wife accepts it, I will sell it. If it doesn't accept it, I will use it as a mortgage."
"Mortgage?" Upon hearing this word, Mrs. Shui was visibly dazed: "You want to borrow money?"
"Yes, formally borrow!" Tang Jie replied.
In this era, the professional division is not so strong. Many businesses pursue large and comprehensive. It is not uncommon for shops to concurrently engage in lending and trading. The same is true for Lingtai Pavilion, but the interest rate is relatively low.
Because this is a shop under the jurisdiction of Xiyue Academy, with a certain subsidy nature, it can be regarded as a student loan.
But even so, it is not possible for any student to borrow. It must have a certain level of performance and sufficient repayment ability to be eligible to borrow.
With Tang Jie's current reputation and ability, he has the qualifications to become a customer of Lingmiaofang, and he can be regarded as a potential high-quality customer.
It's just that he really has no reason to borrow!
At this moment, Madam Shui looked at Tang Jie in amazement: "You have no money? The Moon Washer only rewarded you with the ten thousand renminbi a few days ago?"
"There are still about 8,000. If this batch of goods is processed, it is estimated that there will be 10,000." Tang Jie replied. He used to buy materials and spent a lot of scraps, but Cai Junyang sent 600 dollars to make up for it, and then dispose of these goods, basically keeping the balance of payments.
"Then you still borrow money? What are you going to do?"
Tang Jie replied: "The reason why I was able to kill the tigress this time was all due to my young master’s puppet..."
Tang Jie didn't answer Madam Shui's question, but first talked about how he hunted the tigress.
According to his statement, this hunting meant that he first waited for an opportunity to peek aside, used the puppet to lure away the demon tiger, and then suddenly shot, assassinating the mother tiger.
It should be said that this lie is fairly reasonable, at least theoretically there is no problem. As for why the demon tiger is so easy to be fooled, why did Tang Jie touch it so close that he didn't find it, and even gave him time to touch the spirit grass... When people are stupid, why don't tigers be stupid
The advantage of a lie is that as long as the theory works, it doesn't matter how many problems there are in actual implementation. Anyway, the facts are already there. You can believe it, and you can believe it if you don't believe it.
At this moment, he told the story of his surprise attack and killing tigers. Tang Jie said: "After this battle, the kid also found that I was actually a little dangerous on this trip. It was luck to succeed. However, the puppets divided their forces to lure the enemy and criticized them. The method has been proved to be feasible. Unfortunately, the puppet is ignorant and needs someone to drive the change. It is not good to lure the enemy too far. It is also due to the postpartum weakness of the female tiger that I succeeded in one blow, but was still chased by the demon tiger. After killing it, I almost had a small life. Afterwards, I thought about it and thought that if there could be a puppet that can be used to impose on its own, like a black armored pawn without human manipulation, it would be able to draw the demon tiger farther, myself. I won’t be hurt so badly... ”
He had just let off the blood, his body was so weak, and his face was still pale. With Mrs. Shui's eyes, he could naturally see that the "serious injury" was not fake, but he didn't know that it had anything to do with the "hard fight".
But listening to him say that, Mrs. Shui somewhat understood what he meant: "Do you want to borrow money to buy a puppet?"
"Yes, like a Xuanjia war pawn, a puppet that can accept orders from the master without any control, and act on its own."
"That's not cheap. Such puppets are extremely sophisticated in materials and formations."
"That's why I have to borrow money." Tang Jie laughed at Mi | Mi answered.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
"Two hundred thousand."
"Pump!" The tea that Mrs. Shui had just sent in the mouth spurted out all at once.
