The plague was finally brought under control, and the sick were cured one by one and walked out of Kamigawa Temple. Kamigawa gradually returned to its previous emptiness. Qin Caihou likes it here, likes its quietness, likes its elegance, and likes to sit alone on the well platform in the backyard and read a book.

On this day, he was sitting alone on the well platform quietly reading a gossip book, when suddenly, he heard movement in the well. So he quietly lay on the edge of the well and looked down, there was a basket hanging in the middle of the well, which contained half of the roe deer meat given to him by the villagers, only to see a hare "whoosh" and ran away without a trace.

Qin Caihou suspected that there was a hare hole in the wall of the well. So he went back to his room, put down his book, took a flashlight, went to the well, and climbed down the rope. Halfway up the climb, I found a hole in the wall of the well on the north side, but it was not a hare hole, but a hole made of reinforced concrete. He lay down at the entrance of the cave and used a flashlight to shine inside, and there were two rusty iron rings buried on both sides of the hole, and inside was a large slope, black hole, and nothing could be seen.

Shenhe Temple is located on the south bank of the Tao River, two miles to the north of Jiafart Ditch, in a remote wilderness, and on the north bank is an abandoned fort in country S.

Qin Caihou suspected that this was a tunnel leading from under the riverbed to the Fort of S Country, because he had heard from the people in Tunli that the Kamigawa Temple was an intelligence station built here by Japanese spies disguised as southern Taoist priests during the puppet Manchurian period; After the liberation, the Japanese spies left, and two more true Taoist priests lived here; Ten years ago, the Red Guards drove away the two Taoist priests when they broke the four old days, and now they have been empty. Qin Caihou has never been able to understand why the Japanese spies dug a well by the river in the first place? Now it seems that it was fought to hide the tunnel entrance.

Qin Caihou climbed out of the well and opened the small door in the backyard, which was the bank of the Tao River.

The Tao River, which converges from the North Ridge, turns a 90-degree bend here from east to west and flows southward. The Kamigawa view is built at this 90-degree bend, hidden in a dense primeval forest.

Before the bend, the riverbed has a vertical drop of two or three meters, forming a small waterfall.

He raised his eyes to the north, and the fort on the opposite bank had been abandoned for many years, and was in disarray, and was now a place infested by birds and animals, and there were no traces of spiders and horses at all. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, Qin Caihou decided to go in and find out.

He went back to the house, found the compass, went to the backyard, and carried on his back the small basket in which he had gone up the hill to collect medicine, and in the basket was a bundle of hemp rope and a small hoe, and he climbed down the well rope again. He tied one end of the hemp rope to an iron ring at the entrance of the cave, and climbed down the hemp rope again, and it was not long before he reached the end. He shone a flashlight, and there was a pile of rotten hemp rope and planks underneath. Qin Caihou guessed that this might be a ladder up and down the tunnel, which had rotted over time. When he looked inside, it was a long tunnel that led to the other side of the river. The tunnel is made of bluestone into an arch dome shape, about one meter wide and about one meter six meters high, which can accommodate one person to bend over and pass; There is also a floor drain every two meters underground for drainage.

Qin Caihou walked along the way, walked for about half an hour, and reached the end, it was another big uphill, and there was also a pile of rotten hemp rope and planks on the ground, Qin Caihou guessed that it must be an exit from above.

Qin Caihou has been practicing martial arts with Cui Mingguo and Ma Fei since he was a child, and his ability to move and jump is beyond ordinary people, so he climbed the slope without much effort, saw two iron rings, and also found that there was a bluestone slab blocking the tunnel entrance. He threw the flashlight into the back basket, grabbed the iron ring with one hand, pushed the bluestone slab with the other, opened the tunnel entrance, and drilled out of the tunnel.

This tunnel opening is on the wall of a fort.

Qin Caihou was looking around, and suddenly found a person riding a horse walking towards here. He hurriedly covered the entrance to the tunnel with bluestone slabs and hid behind the fort to peek. As soon as this person approached, he saw clearly that it was a man from S country in his forties riding a white horse with a long mane and curly hair.

Just when Qin Caihou was hiding behind the fort and patiently waiting for the man of country S to walk in front of the fort on horseback, suddenly the long-maned curly-haired white horse that was walking eastward neighed chaotically, and then he shaved and kicked in a panic, and after knocking the man of country S to the ground, he turned his head and ran west in infinite horror.

Qin Caihou was surprised for a while, he didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly looked east, and after looking at nothing for a while, the birch forest was still silent.

He turned his head to look west, and the white horse with a long mane and curly fur had run away without a trace.

"Damn, what, such a majestic presence, scared a horse away?" Qin Caihou was apprehensive in his heart, he was already sensitive to the fact that he must be famous, so he hurriedly picked up the small hoe and looked around vigilantly to explore.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and a large Siberian tiger swooped out of the bushes, with sharp teeth and a tail erect, rushing towards the man of country S. The tiger's tail swept against the bushes, making a loud noise, shaking the branches and leaves in all directions.

Although the man from country S was carrying a single-barreled shotgun, he didn't have time to take it off, he just raised his head and stared at the tiger that pounced on him, so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

The tiger was very close to the man of country S, only more than thirty steps away.

It was too late, it was too late, Qin Caihou jumped out from behind the fort with a "swish" and rushed towards the tiger.

The hungry and thirsty tiger was pleasantly surprised when he saw another person who took the initiative to send him to death. There was a ferocious demonstration, and he roared twice at Qin Caihou, like a thunderbolt in the middle of the day, shaking the whole ridge and echoing, and his tail was like a huge whip, hitting the ground with dust. Then, it pressed its two claws on the ground slightly, and looked at Qin Caihou with a pounce, and pulled it down from mid-air.

Qin Caihou saw the tiger pounce, only flashed, flashing behind the tiger.

It is the most difficult for the tiger to see people behind him, so he put his front paws on the ground, lifted his waist and crotch, and lifted it up.

Qin Caihou only flashed, flashing to the side.

When the tiger saw that Qin Cai couldn't be thick, he roared again, and the tiger tail like an iron rod was upside down and only cut it to Qin Caihou.

Qin Caihou dodged to the side again and dodged.

The tiger pounced and cut it, but he didn't catch Qin Caihou, and half of his temperament disappeared first. Roared again, and a bag will come back.

Qin Caihou saw that the tiger turned over and came back, picked up the small hoe with both hands, and used all his strength to calm his strength, and with only one hoe, he slashed down from mid-air. I only heard the sound of "bang", which was hitting the tiger's head, breaking the small hoe in half, and the hoe was about to fly out, leaving only half of the hoe handle in his hand.

The injured tiger got angry, roared and turned over and pounced on Qin Caihou.

Qin Caihou jumped and retreated ten steps. The tiger happened to put its two front paws in front of Qin Caihou. Qin Caihou threw aside half of the hoe handle, grabbed the tiger's top flower skin with his two hands, and pressed it down. The tiger was anxious to struggle, but Qin Caihou tried his best to hold it down, and he was willing to let go of it a little loosely.

Qin Caihou looked at the door of the tiger's face with one foot, and only kicked in his eyes.

The tiger roared, and made a pit out of two piles of black mud from under him.

Qin Caihou pressed the tiger's mouth straight into the mud pit, grabbed the top flower skin tightly with his left hand, stole out his right hand, raised a fist the size of a hammer, and did his best to fight. After more than sixty punches, blood burst out from the tiger's eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, and he couldn't move, only panting in his mouth.

Qin Caihou let go of his hand, and sat on the tiger with his hands and feet soft and gasped.

At this time, the man of country S woke up like a dream, got up, took off his shotgun, took two steps forward, and fired a shot at the tiger's skull.

The tiger lay on the ground, with only one tail wringing around for a while, and finally died.

The man of country S stepped on the tiger's back with his feet and kicked twice, and the dead tiger was already limp. Convinced that the tiger's anger was gone, Fang put down the gun and thanked Qin Caihou gratefully.

Qin Caihou learned S very well in middle school, and he himself can speak S fluently. However, this man from country S has a strong accent in the Far East, and Qin Caihou has a hard time listening to it. Fortunately, the men of country S can also speak a few half-baked Northeast dialects, and the two of them can even communicate with each other. But from beginning to end, Qin Caihou didn't say the word "authentic", just said that he collected medicine and crossed the river unconsciously.

On the other side of the river, there are people from the yellow race Z country, and from time to time someone wades across the river to pick mushrooms and medicines, so the men of country S are convinced of what Qin Caihou said.

This S-country man's name is Chulbanov, and he is a hunter.

Chubanov said to Qin Caihou: "My home is not far from here, come to my house to rest." ”

"And what about this tiger? Can the two of us lift? Qin Caihou said worriedly: "I don't have any strength at all. ”

Chubanov put his fingers in his mouth and blew a long whistle loudly to the west. After a while, the long-maned curly-haired white horse that had been scared away neighed and ran back again.

Qin Caihou and Chubanov carried the tiger on horseback and walked towards Chubanov's house.
