Chang Xile and his entourage dragged the tiger into the county seat, attracting countless onlookers who marveled at their bravery. Tigers are fierce and very difficult to hunt, and it is rare to be able to catch tigers in a small county like Daoxiang County.

The three brothers didn't bother to explain to everyone, and hurriedly sent the injured little boy to the hospital.

The people in the hospital were stunned when they saw the tigers on the ox cart, Chang Xiwang was anxious, and when he saw that they didn't move, he shouted loudly, "Why are you stunned, there is an injured child here!" ”

This sound made the people in the hospital react, and the doctor hurriedly came forward to diagnose and concluded that there was no fracture to move, so he lifted the person off the ox cart and began to treat him.

The outside of the hospital hall was already full of people, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Who hit the Tiger? Kung Fu is really amazing, we haven't had such a hero in our county for many years. ”

"Why did I just look at the ox cart that seems to be the prodigy Chang Xiucai who was disfigured some time ago?"

"It's really a pity to say that, it's a pity to have that scar, otherwise I would have a great future in the future."

"He's just a weak scholar, he definitely didn't beat this big worm, right?"

"There are also his two elder brothers, both of whom are five big and three thick. Oh, and someone else was injured, I didn't see it clearly, but I still looked at the size of a child. ”

It was not clear what the three brothers of the Chang family were talking about outside, and they focused on the injured little boy.

When the little boy was moved out of the carriage, he woke up in a daze, and when he saw that he was about to leave Chang Xile's arms, he hugged Chang Xile. Chang Xile was helpless, so he could only let him grab his arm, and gently patted the back of his hand with his other hand, indicating that he would not leave.

The little boy then fell silent and fell unconscious again.

"Doctor, how is he?" Chang Xi was happy to see the doctor withdraw his hand and asked.

The doctor said, "This child has a strong pulse and strong bones, and there is no major problem. It's just that I have a little skin trauma, and I can take some medicine to recuperate. ”

Chang Xile asked again, "Is the injury on your head okay?" ”

"I don't think it's a big deal, but whether it's badly hurt or not, we won't know until he wakes up."

The three brothers were finally relieved when they heard this, and when the apprentice of the medical hall bandaged the little boy's wounds, the doctor asked curiously, "You shot the tiger outside?" ”

The three brothers shook their heads in unison, because they were familiar with the people in this medical hall - Chang Xile had been treated here for his previous injuries and illnesses, so he did not hide it, and told everything about it.

The guy next to him was surprised: "So you guys have picked up a big bargain!" This big insect is worth a lot of money when it is sold, but it's a pity that there are a lot of tiger skin scars, otherwise the money is even more! ”

The doctor said eagerly, "Can you sell me this big worm?" I'll give you two...... No, three hundred dollars. ”

Tiger bones, tiger whips, tiger gall, etc. are all good things, and no matter which medical center wants to get them.

The three brothers didn't speak, and the doctor thought that he was disgusted that the money given was too small, and he was a little embarrassed: "Hey, it's not that I deliberately lowered the price, it's just that I can only take out so much money now." Why don't you sell me tiger bones and tiger whips? I don't want anything else, and I don't have to pay for this little brother's medicine. ”

Chang Xisheng said: "Doctor, don't get me wrong, this big worm is not what we killed, and we can't decide how much price we offer." Since this kid appeared next to this big worm and was injured by this big worm, it must have a lot to do with the person who killed this big worm, so it is better to wait for him to wake up and ask how to deal with this big worm. ”

The doctor was a little disappointed, tigers are rare, and now that the news has spread all over the place, there will definitely be a rich businessman who will come to buy it at a high price, and he will definitely not be able to share it at that time. But this kind of thing is not difficult to do, so I can only give up.

"You are sincere, if it were someone else, you would have taken it for yourself. Having said that, I don't know who killed this tiger, could it be the child's family? ”

Chang Xiwang shook his head and said: "I don't know, when we saw no movement and took a closer look, we only saw this child, and we didn't see any trace of anyone else." The road was either to our village or the county seat, and there were no suspicious people along the way. ”

The doctor stroked his beard, "That's weird." And this kid is also a little weird, you see his toes and fingers, his nails are long and sharp, not like ordinary people, just now I checked that his teeth are sharper than ordinary people. ”

Chang Xile hugged the little boy all the way, and he had long noticed his difference. Appeared in the deep mountains without an inch, his hair was fluffy and messy, obviously uncared for, all kinds of knots, his nails were hard and sharp, and his eyes were like beasts.

Appearing next to the dead tiger in an unknown way, with the wounds left by the tiger on his body, but no one else is missing, which inevitably makes people have all kinds of reveries.

Chang Xile thought of the legend about the fairy child pass, if it was a real event, then it was likely that the fairy child was fake and the tiger child was real. In his previous life, he had seen relevant reports, wolf children, dog children, etc., who were brought up by animals for various reasons since they were children, and became a family with the beasts that ordinary people feared, and their living habits and appearance were sometimes affected, which was different from ordinary people.

But if this guess is correct, why would this tiger attack him? And who killed this tiger?

Or rather, this tiger is not the one who raised the little boy, but the other one who has come to occupy the mountain. The little boy was raised by a tiger and thought of himself as a tiger. The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, so it was done.

Chang Xile felt that his brain was a little wide, but for some reason he always felt that it made sense. The only thing that is unreliable is that such a small point can kill such a ferocious tiger, which is a bit unreasonable. The tiger is about 300 catties visually, which can only be achieved with the strength of many bulls.

Chang Xisheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's the child of the mountain people?" The mountain people killed the big worm, but they ran away for fear of being discovered. The child was seriously injured and was not taken away for fear that he would not survive. ”

The mountain people here are homeless people who hide in the mountains without household registration, and if they are discovered, they will be arrested and reduced to slavery. Civilians are not allowed to trade or associate with the mountain people, otherwise they will be punished together. Although the mountain people are not as harsh as they used to be, as long as these mountain people are willing to come out and become naturalized, and they do not carry the case on their backs, they will not be held responsible.

But there are still people who are reluctant to go down the mountain, because once naturalized, it means paying taxes, forced labor, etc. Although the dynasty is still quite enlightened, there are still people who do not trust, and they are not free in the mountains and forests. Hunting for a living like an Orion, but not like Orion, you have to pay animal skins as taxes every year according to the regulations, although the mountains are hard, but the pressure of life will be much less.

Chang Xile felt that Chang Xisheng's inference was much more reliable than his own brain, and everyone felt that this was the reason when they heard it. Although the doctor's diagnosis of the little boy's injuries just now was not very serious, it was difficult for the mountain people who lacked medical treatment to treat them.

The mountain people are not full of poor people who are evading taxes and forced labor, after all, life in the mountains is hard, and ordinary people who hide and hide are always disliked. Now the situation outside is not bad, and the mountain people who like to live a normal life have gone down the mountain. Therefore, there are many people who have committed crimes and are afraid of being punished and hiding. This kind of person is the most cold-blooded, and when he sees that this child is not good, he doesn't care. As for why he didn't take away the dead tiger, I'm afraid that he was also injured and couldn't take it away, and the result was cheaper than the three brothers of the Chang family.

As soon as everyone speculated like this, they all felt that this was the case, and automatically regarded the little boy as a child abandoned by the mountain people.

"Hey, what a sin, such a young child can still be saved and thrown there. If you hadn't saved him, the blood would have been drained. The doctor sighed.

Chang Xile's clothes were ruined like this, and most of them were torn as bandages. The original long shirt became a short shirt, which was only better than being shirtless. Although it is a pity, human life is at stake.

Chang Xile said: "It's also his life." ”

There have always been not many pedestrians on that road, and it happened that they met it today, so it can only be said that it should not be killed.

"Since it is the child of the mountain people, there must be no household registration, so it is best to report it to the county government immediately to save trouble. I have people I know in the yamen, if you don't dislike me and let people help you run this errand? ”

When Chang Xisheng and Chang Xile heard this, they immediately understood what the doctor had in mind.

If this little boy doesn't want to go back to the mountains again, he will definitely get the name of the yamen. Although the doctor is selfish, he can get things done without trouble. The doctor can't afford to bid, so it's a big deal to sell only a part.

The declaration can't be sloppy, the three brothers are entrusted with the doctor's help, but how to sell the tiger at that time still has to be decided by the little boy.

Chang Xile is more sure of Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang's character by this incident, although Chang Xisheng is the most shrewd one in the family, but he will not be greedy when he really encounters something. Otherwise, it would not be so natural to think that the tiger belonged to the little boy, rather than that it was theirs when they saw it.

Although he did not receive an affirmative answer, the doctor was still very happy and felt hopeful. Let them stay in the room behind the infirmary, and the tiger was also moved in.

Chang Xile has been caught by the little boy, and he can't leave at all, and he can't do what he wants to do, so he can only ask his two brothers to go to a teahouse or something like that to inquire about the canal.

As soon as the two elder brothers left, someone came to the door on their heels.

As soon as the doctor saw the visitor, he hurriedly greeted him with a respectful attitude, "Isn't this the shopkeeper Wu, what kind of wind blew you over?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Shopkeeper Wu raised his chin high, looking impatient, "What nonsense, I'm fine!" I heard that someone hit a big bug and came to see the goods. ”

The doctor complained bitterly in his heart, now I'm afraid he won't be able to keep the big worm, "Shopkeeper Wu, you're late, and now it's mine." ”

Shopkeeper Wu directly snorted him, "Don't give me nonsense, how can I sell it before I come." ”

Shopkeeper Wu ignored the doctor and walked straight inside.

The doctor gritted his teeth behind his back, but he had no choice but to follow.

Shopkeeper Wu went to see the tiger first, because it was not suitable for storage in summer, the doctor had already ordered someone to start dealing with it.

Shopkeeper Wu touched that touch, and his mouth sighed with pity, "It's a pity, it's a pity, this tiger skin is badly damaged, otherwise it can be worth some money." ”

"Boy, you picked this up? So, I'll pay a hundred yuan, and I'll take this big worm. Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Chang Xile and said casually.

Chang Xile was laughed angrily, the doctor just paid 300 yuan, which was considered a low price, and now someone actually paid 100 yuan, and he also had the attitude of giving you a gift.

"Not for sale."

Shopkeeper Wu was not happy, squinted and threatened, "Hey, boy, do you know who I am!" didn't give me Wu face so much, believe it or not, you can't sell this big worm if you take it out! ”
