Chapter 77: Taming the Tiger (Part II)
Su Hanqiang: "Want to be captured? ”
Liang Shirong nodded: "Well, the nature of the tiger is beastly nature, there is no humanity, but there is also spirituality." It will only recognize the food that will sustain its life, so let's make it suffer a little more, and let it brew it when it is desperate and helpless. ”
Su Hanqiang heard Liang Shirong say this, and suddenly understood the meaning in his heart: "Do you want to starve it for a few days first?" ”
"Not bad!" Liang Shirong nodded, "Let's ignore it for the time being tonight, let it starve, and take it slowly to fix it." ”
Su Hanqiang said to Liang Shirong with admiration: "Okay, I believe that you always think of more ways than we think." ”
Liang Shirong waved his hand outwards and signaled, "It's getting late, everyone go home first." Let the tiger spend the night here. ”
Su Hanqiang: "Okay. ”
When the people of the four villages saw that it was getting late, they dispersed in twos and threes. As they walked, they talked about the strange thing that had happened this afternoon.
The night fell deeply, and now only the tigress trapped in the trap of the beast was left in the lively place, standing alone in this dark mountain field for the night.
On the night of Tianlu Mountain, it returned to its former normality, and under the blowing of the mountain wind, frogs and grass insects were added to sing all night long.
On the afternoon of the next day, Liang Shirong, Liang Jianxing, Liang Er, and Liang Yun came to the tigress with the hound's hound, Ah Wang, as they did yesterday.
Liang Er and Liang Yun took the two tiger cubs out of the tiger's den again, and fed them to the two tiger cubs again with dog milk in front of the tigress.
The tigress struggled and roared desperately when she first fell into the trap and was caught in a trap, which consumed a lot of energy. In broad daylight, exposed to the unsheltered place, exposed to the scorching sun in the air, the whole body is hot and hot, and the sweat of the whole body is dripping down. At night, the mountain breeze is cool and swishing, like a cold arrow from the pores into the tigress's body, making it shiver incessantly.
In this way, for several days, the tigress had nothing to eat or water to drink, her bulging belly had been deeply dented, and her thick ribs were exposed under the colorful tiger skin.
This tiger, which has always been mighty and vicious, has been so hungry that it is weak, and its whole body is weak and limp.
These days, the careful Liang Shirong is doing it while observing the tigress's demeanor.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Liang Shirong found that the fierce light and murderous aura in the tigress's green eyes were gone, revealing a strong desire to survive. He knew that this trick was already paying off.
The next day, Liang Shirong and his apprentices divided half of their meals from home, served them in a basin, and came to the almost dying tiger.
At first, Liang Shirong didn't dare to approach the tigress, but slowly pushed the basin containing the food in front of the tigress with a wooden stick.
There is a way to be hungry and not choose to eat. The tigress smelled the fragrant meal in front of her, lowered her head and gulped it down, and finally licked the remaining juice from the bottom of the basin with her wide red tongue.
For a few days, Liang Shirong has concocted this tigress in this way. When he found that the tigress had no ill will towards him, Liang Shirong gradually approached it with courage, gently stroked the fur on its body, caught lice for it, and then stroked its forelimbs, seeing that it would not use tiger claws to attack people, and finally walked in front of the tigress, directly and kindly stroked its forehead, and made a silent communication with it with practical actions****** sincerity, gold and stone are open. As the days passed, under the influence of Liang Shirong's sincerity, the tigress's favor towards Liang Shirong increased day by day, and the copper bell-like eyes poured out a grateful look, and gently licked Liang Shirong's hand with her tongue from time to time, conveying the information in her heart with Liang Shirong.
Su Hanqiang, Su Hanwei and some villagers came to watch Liang Shirong's way of getting along with this tigress every day, and they were a little worried about Liang Shirong at first, but later saw that the situation was developing step by step in a good direction, and they were happy for Liang Shirong.
Liang Shirong, the "benevolent", made the tigress also "moved", and she and Liang Shirong became good friends who could play.
Su Hanqiang witnessed the development of the whole incident from beginning to end, and said to Liang Shirong with admiration: "You, you are really amazing. Such a ferocious tiger has also been tamed so obediently by you. ”
Liang Shirong's words are meaningful: "The way everything in the world gets along is the same. If you have a tiger in your heart, it will always be a tiger. If this tiger is no longer a man-eating tiger in your heart, then it is no longer a man-eating tiger. ”
Su Hanqiang pondered Liang Shirong's words, and also realized something from them: "You have a point. What's your secret weapon? ”
Liang Shirong pointed to his chest: "I have a good heart." Act with kindness, and everything will work. ”
A few days later, seeing that the time was ripe, Liang Shirong personally untied the trap, and used the collected Chinese herbs to apply to the wound on the tigress's right hind leg, and then bandaged it with a strip of cloth.
Trapped in the trap for more than half a month, and her tiger's den is close at hand, the joy of the tigress regaining her freedom and reuniting with her growing children is conceivable. It turned around Liang Shirong's side three times, and then lay down with its forelimbs in a kneeling position, and then wagged its tail and went back to "home".
Since then, Liang Shirong has become good friends with this tigress and her two little tigers.
Liang Shirong also used leaves as whistles to connect with them in this special way, often playing with them and domesticating them.
This tigress is also very knowledgeable, and no longer does the evil deeds of mutilating the villagers in Shuangshi Mountain. When the surrounding villagers saw this tiger, they would not be as frightened as before, and they would flee away. This is because the tiger often runs to distant mountains and forests to catch vicious animals when foraging for food.
Those thieves who once came to Shuangshi Mountain to steal chickens and dogs saw that the big tiger often cruised around the tiger pit, where did they dare to come and do evil again?
Over time, the name of "Tiger Pit" spread more and more, spread farther and farther, and finally became a fixed place name in people's mouths.
It is not absurd that Liang Shirong was able to tame the tiger, and some people in the Western Regions had long been able to domesticate the tiger and lion to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Emperor, and also took them back and forth on Tongqu Street. There are eighteen Arhats who protect the Dharma under the seat of Buddha Shakya Benni, one of whom is Venerable Qingyou, an Arhat who has subdued the demon dragon, and there is also a Venerable Maitreya, an Arhat who has surrendered to a tiger.
