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.

Ding Hanqiang saw that he was about to shoot the tiger but someone had ruined it, his heart was angry, he looked back, and saw that it was Huineng, he stomped his foot on the ground, and complained: "Ahem, Ah Neng, 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?! Huineng 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 Huineng when he hit the sika deer with a stone when he rescued it before.

After careful inspection, he saw that the bulging ** in the tiger's belly was still tender red and red, so he pointed to the tiger and said to Ding Hanqiang, "Do you see clearly?" It's a tigress, and it looks like she's still breastfeeding. ”

Ding Hanqiang said angrily: "You also know that this tiger bit my cattle last month, making it a cripple, and in recent years, it has eaten how many goats of 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 a battlefield for denouncing 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.

Hui Neng stepped forward, flicked the spear to the other side with his hand, and said, "Wait a minute! ”

Ding 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.

Hui Neng's hand was in a hurry, he reached out and snatched his arrow at once, and then stuffed it back into Ding Hanqiang's quiver, and said, "Don't be so anxious, everything will be considered in the long run." ”

Ding Hanqiang had a gloomy face and sighed: "Alas! ”

Seeing that the crowd was so turbulent, Huineng 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 Huineng 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 Ding 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.

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

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

The dead are already and cannot be renewed. Everyone knows this.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Hui Neng pointed to the tiger and continued: "Indeed, this tiger has done many evils in the past, we can treat evil with evil, and fight 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.

Ding Hanwei stood up: "In the past two months, my pigs have been bitten to death, and the sheep that have been grazed 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,

Ding 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." ”

Ding 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!"

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

Others agreed: "In this way, our Tianlu Mountain can be forever plagued." ”

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

Ding Hanqiang: "Why? ”

Huineng analyzed: "People often say that Huxia Pingyang was 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. ”

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

Huineng continued: "Violence against violence, there will never be an end, when will it be time to repay the wrongs. According to my reasoning, the male tiger mated with this tigress should live in the deep mountains not too far from our Tianlu 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 Hui Neng say this, and a cold air suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts.

After a while, Su Hanqiang settled down, blinked his eyes, and asked Huineng: "So, what are you going to do with this tiger?" ”

Huineng pointed at Ding Hanwei and said, "I heard you just now, those tiger cubs that are still in the tiger's den are still feeding, if this tigress is killed by us, the tiger cubs have no ability to forage, and they will starve to death soon." ”

Ding Hanwei: "Yes. ”

Huineng said with regret, "If that's the case, it's a corpse with a few lives." ”

Huineng's words are indeed reasonable, and people are talking about it again.

Huineng swallowed and continued: "In my opinion, now we might as well come to a place where we treat evil with good and repay grievances with virtue. ”

Ding Hanqiang: "What do you mean—"

Huineng pointed to the tiger in a desperate situation and said, "Let's find a way to influence it and make it our own." ”

Ding Hanqiang's eyes flashed with doubtful light waves, and he shook his head in disbelief: "The nature of tigers is to eat people. It's so brutal that we're able to influence it, and that's incredible. ”

Huineng said loudly: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." ”

Some people discussed: "Tigers can also abandon evil and follow good, this is indeed a strange news in the world." ”

"There are many wonders in the world that you will not believe until you see them. So it's not surprising that you have this view. After hearing everyone's discussions, Huineng pointed to the tigress and said with confidence, "You must know that it is also a creature with feelings, as long as we are sincere and skillful, it will also be gradually influenced and turn evil into good, of course, this requires a process." ”

Ding Hanqiang turned to Huineng: "So, what should we do now?" ”

Huineng thought for a moment and said, "You go to the tiger's den and get those tiger cubs here." ”

Ding Hanqiang: "What's the use of getting those two tiger cubs here?" ”
