Liang Jianxing: "Master, what is this called?" ”

"Wait until I go out and listen." Liang Shirong hurriedly ran out of the house, listened attentively, and judged that this was the cry of a tiger through the sound of the mountain wind and pine waves. His heart froze, and he hurriedly returned to the courtyard and said to Liang Er: "Hey, Second Brother Liang, there is a situation, I can recognize this as a tiger roar." ”

When Liang Er heard this, he immediately unloaded the long pipe from his mouth and shouted, "Yo! ”

Liang Yun also heard it at this time: "Is it in the direction of the tiger pit?" ”

Liang Shirong affirmed: "Yes." Can't be wrong! ”

Liang Er knocked his long pipe on the wooden pier and speculated, "The tiger must have stepped on the mechanism we laid over there in the tiger pit and caught the trap of the beast." ”

Liang Shirong urged: "Second Brother Liang, Yayun, Yaxing, let's go to the Tiger Pit to take a look." ”

"Okay." Liang Yun put down the big bowl in his hand and picked up the hunting fork in the yard.

Liang Er thrust the long pipe into his waist, walked into the house quickly, picked up the bow and arrow, and ran towards the tiger pit with Liang Shirong.

Flowers and trees on both sides kept flying past them, and it didn't take long for them to come to the tiger's pit.

Sure enough, a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes had fallen into the trap they had laid down. The tiger was five feet long, with a naturally born "king" character in the middle of its forehead, and eyes as big as copper bells. The brownish-yellow tiger skin with black spots was shiny, and the big tiger's hair stood on end. Liang Er's trap was clamping its right hind leg,

The tiger struggled hard to escape after being trapped, but the more it struggled, the tighter its hind legs were clamped by the iron trap, and a large pool of blood flowed on the ground of the trap.

At this time, several big men were already standing not far from the tiger. At the front is Su Hanqiang, the Orion of Yunpai Village.

Just now, Su Hanqiang took a few brothers to hunt in the nearby mountains, and when he heard the screams of the animals, he knew that some prey had fallen into the hunter's trap, and he rushed to follow the sound, so they came earlier than Liang Shirong, and stood about three feet away from the big tiger at this time.

The cattle that Su Hanqiang's family had raised well was seriously injured by a tiger not long ago, and now when he saw this enemy, of course he was furious, and scolded "Hmph, look at how majestic you are, isn't it a dead end now?!" With rage, he drew his bow to the brim, and on the string of the bow was a sharp arrow, which was about to shoot into the tiger's eyes.

Seeing this, Liang Shirong shouted loudly: "Stop! At the same time, he rushed over at the speed of a sprint, stretched out his arm, and lifted Su Hanqiang's strong bow up the moment the arrow left the string.

"Whoosh!" The sharp arrow flew out with a strong wind, flew a few inches above the tiger's head, and hit the bushes on the other side, and the leaves fell in a torrent.

At this time, the people of the villages on the mountain heard the terrible howl of the tiger, and knew that the tiger had fallen into the trap laid by the hunter and came from all directions. The brave villagers approached with spears, hunting forks, bows and arrows, and other equipment, while the less timid stood in the distance to watch the excitement.

Su Hanqiang saw that he was about to shoot the tiger but was ruined, his heart was angry, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Liang Shirong, he stomped his foot on the ground, and complained: "Ahem, Brother Yarong, I was about to shoot this tiger, why do you hold up my bow and arrow?" Do you want to spare this vicious beast? ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Now that it has fallen into our hands, forgive it for being in the wings. Why should we rush to shoot it?! Liang Shirong walked around the tiger, looking at the tiger for a while, there was a scab in the middle of the tiger's nose, obviously, this was the scar left by Liang Shirong when he hit it with a stone when he rescued the sika deer before. After careful inspection, he saw that the bulging **** on the tiger's abdomen was still tender red and red, so he pointed to the tiger and said to Su Hanqiang, "Do you see clearly?" It's a tigress, and it looks like she's still breastfeeding. ”

Su Hanqiang said angrily: "You also know that this tiger bit my family's cattle last month, making it a cripple, and in recent years, it has eaten how many goats from the villagers around us, how many pigs have been bitten to death, and how many cows have been bitten. What a heinous sin! ”

Many of the villagers who heard the news were deeply affected by the tiger, and at this time they felt the same way, and pointed at the tiger and cursed loudly.

"Kill it!"

"If you don't kill it, you won't understand the hatred in my heart!"

"Kill it! Going to peel it and cramp! ”

"In addition to eating its meat, you should also use its bones to make soup and drink!"

Angry voices came and went, wave after wave, and the originally silent mountains and forests became the scene of denunciation of tigers.

A strong man thought of the tiger that had killed two goats last month, and his anger ignited, and he spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground, "Phew! "Take the spear and stab it at the tiger's buttocks.

Liang Shirong hurriedly stepped up, pushed the spear to the other side with his hand, and said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Su Hanqiang stretched out his right hand to his back, pulled out another sharp arrow from the quiver on his back, and put it on the bowstring.

Liang Shirong was in a hurry, stretched out his hand and snatched his arrow at once, and then stuffed it back into Su Hanqiang's quiver, saying, "Don't be so impatient, think about it in the long run." ”

Su Hanqiang's face was gloomy and he sighed: "Alas! ”

Seeing that the crowd was so turbulent, Liang Shirong walked to the high pier over there, raised his arms, pressed down again, and shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet!" Be quiet! ”

The noise was like the tide of the sea receding in an instant.

Su Hanqiang asked Liang Shirong puzzled: "Why did you stop us from killing this tiger?" You must know that it has eaten a lot of the livestock of our villagers, which is a great crime. Fortunately, today it has fallen into our hands, as the saying goes, evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good. There will definitely be a blood debt to be paid today. If you don't kill it, letting the tiger return to the mountain will be an endless disaster! ”

"Yes, let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!" People agree with Su Hanqiang's opinion.

At this time, the tiger was exhausted after a long struggle, and the more the right hind leg was tightly clamped by the trap, the more painful it became, and the more blood flowed. Therefore, the tiger, which had struggled many times, became more disciplined at this time, and it no longer dared to twitch its tightly clamped right hind leg, so it had to open its eyes and watch people's every move with a pitiful look.

This once majestic and invincible mountain king has suddenly become a weak man who can be slaughtered. Although the tigress could not understand what the people of the world were saying, she could read a little from the joys and sorrows on people's faces, and she shed tears of grief when she knew that her death was near.

Liang Shirong said loudly: "Here I will first ask everyone, can the sheep and pigs that have died and been eaten come back to life?" ”

Everyone: "This ...... This ......"

Death cannot be regenerated, this truth is known to everyone.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Liang Shirong pointed at the tiger and continued: "Indeed, this tiger did a lot of evil in the past, we can treat evil with evil, and counter violence with violence, and now it is easy to put it to death." But what about the fact that we killed this tigress, and what about her offspring? ”

"The offspring of this tiger?" There was a lot of talking. They didn't know there was such a thing.

Su Hanwei stood up: "In the past two months, my pigs have been bitten to death, and the sheep that have been herded up the mountain have been eaten. I hate this big tiger to the core, and I've been secretly following it for a long time. I know that its tiger's den is in the dense grass at the end of the pit not far from here. Some time ago, this tigress was pregnant and had a bulging belly, but in the past few days, I saw that her belly was obviously deflated. It is speculated that there are still some newborn tiger cubs in the tiger's den. ”

"Ah, so ......I see," the people began to talk again,

Su Hanqiang rolled up his sleeves and said stupidly: "After we kill this tigress, we will go to the tail of the tiger pit to find out those tiger cubs and kill them." ”

Su Hanwei's face was angry, and he made a gesture of cutting off his head with a knife, and said in a tough tone: "Yes, we will kill the offspring of this tigress together."

"If we don't kill this tiger, we are really unwilling!"

Su Hanqiang: "That's right! We're going to have a weeding to eradicate the roots! ”

Others agreed: "In this way, we can never be plagued by tigers in Shuangshishan." ”

Liang Shirong waved his hand again and again: "This can't be done, this can't be helped!" ”

Su Hanqiang: "Why? ”

Liang Shirong analyzed: "People often say that the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Now that the tigress had been caught in the hind legs by the beast, it was impossible for her to break free and escape. The power of life and death is in our hands. In my opinion, even if the tigress and her cubs were killed, it would not necessarily eliminate the tiger plague here. ”

Su Hanqiang was puzzled: "Won't it?" ”

Liang Shirong continued: "Violence against violence, there will never be an end, when will the grievances be retribution." I deduce that the male tiger mated with this tigress should have lived in the deep mountains not too far from our Shuangshi Mountain. Even if we kill this tigress, the male tiger will come here in the future to seek revenge and revenge. It is important to know that the transformation of good and evil, good and evil, is often in a single thought. ”

"This ......" Everyone looked at each other when they heard Liang Shirong say this, and a cold air suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts.
