As soon as there was a glimmer of dawn on the horizon, the iron tower came to the Flying Tiger Mountain, the day before yesterday he and Zheng He played here for most of the day, almost every corner of the mountain, why didn't they find the tiger? He thought it was very strange, and he chose a place where the terrain was steep and overgrown, and maybe the tiger was hiding there, but after searching for most of the day, he found a lot of wild boars and sambar deer, but there was no trace of the tiger.

Before I knew it, it was noon, and the tower lay down under a big tree to rest, thinking to itself that the evil tiger was also clever, and that it could not hide it when it knew that I was coming, and that it would be wishful thinking that it would escape punishment in this way.

"Whew!" Suddenly, there was a roar of a tiger from the mountain, like a thunderbolt in the flatland, and the leaves of the trees rained down, and the wild beasts in the grass scattered in all directions, and the birds flew away in shock.

It's finally here! The iron tower was overjoyed, and got up from the ground with a grunt, this is really stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it, and the evil tiger actually threw himself into the net.

A gust of wind blew in his face, and a tiger jumped down from the hill in the distance, three or four feet away, and only jumped two or three times before coming to the tower. What a majestic tiger! With a body more than five meters long, yellow and black fur, sharp teeth, huge claws, and a big "king" on his forehead, he is worthy of being the king of beasts.

The tiger stood on the boulder, looked down at the tower condescendingly, and said angrily: "The day before yesterday, you and that group of hunters searched for a whole day on the mountain and didn't catch me. Tell you, I won't put up with it anymore today. ”

What I have seen and heard in the past few days has made Tie Ta have no good impression of the tiger, and now I see her so arrogant, my heart is even more disgusted, although I never beat women, but everything has a limit of patience, since she does not repent, then I have to make an exception. "I heard from the county order that you have injured a lot of people, is there such a thing?" The tower asked coldly.

"It's that hateful county order again, I didn't expect that I saved his life, and he would take revenge." The tiger blew his beard and glared at him in anger.

"You saved the county order? Do you have such good intentions? Her words can only deceive a three-year-old child, and of course the tower will not believe it.

The tiger let out a long sigh full of helplessness, "Although we tigers are synonymous with ferocity, cruelty and murder in the eyes of humans, I will never lie, because with my strength, I don't need to tell lies to please anyone." She looked up at the sky proudly, her eyes were shining, and the temperament of a king who looked down on the world was undoubted.

"I know you don't believe my words, but I still have to say it, these words have been held in my heart for a long time, and I don't vomit or be unhappy, old lady." The tiger seems to have changed his temperament and actually told the story. "At this time last year, I was hunting in the woods, and suddenly I heard a cry for help from in front of me, and I ran over to see that it was a big boar of four or five hundred pounds attacking humans, and there were many more incidents of wild boars hurting people here than we tigers. When I arrived, there were three or four wounded people lying on the ground, and two others were scrambling up the trees, and the wild boar was rushing towards a thin man with a large black mole on his face, which I remember very well. Seeing that the boar's long fangs were about to pierce the body of the big black mole, I pounced on it and bit the back of its neck, breaking its spine in one bite. The big black mole was lying on the ground in shock, with a large wet patch between his crotch, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and the two guys who had already gone up the tree quickly slipped down to help him up, and asked earnestly, "Lord County, are you okay?" That's when I learned he was the prefectural magistrate. Then I left quietly, although the wild boar is my trophy, but the Flying Tiger Mountain is full of prey, why rub against humans for a pig? The county ordered people to carry the wild boar back, and bragged everywhere that he had killed him with his own hands, knowing that he was such a despicable and shameless villain, and I would not save him by saying anything. Buffalo, listening to your tone, it seems that you have also seen the county order, does he have a black mole on his face? Am I lying? ”

Tie Ta nodded, the big black mole in Diao County's order is really a living signboard, as long as you see it once, it is guaranteed to be impressive and unforgettable. "What you say is true, but it doesn't excuse you from killing innocents indiscriminately." The Tower's tone was very harsh.

"What are you murderous? Listen to the old lady finish talking first, and then let's have another big fight. The tiger glared at the tower and continued the story, "Killing a wild boar was nothing more than a trivial thing to me, and I forgot about it in a few days. One day, while patrolling the territory, I spotted a trap in the grass, followed by more than a dozen traps elsewhere. I wonder how it is that for so many years we tigers and hunters have not been in the well and the water in the river, and each has been in peace, and they suddenly remembered to deal with me. Then I heard movement in the grass, so I crept closer and saw that it was a hunter! And there are quite a few of them. They were all draped in leaves, with straw hats on their heads, which were really hard to spot if you didn't look closely, and they were also well armed, some with bows and arrows, some with spears, and some with fishing nets. Then I heard two young hunters talking, softly, but with my ears I could hear them clearly. One of the hunters said, "I heard Li Zhutou say that the county magistrate has been sick with lovesickness since he saw the tiger. ''What?'' The county order actually likes tigers? Big brother, I heard you right, right? "The chubby hunter next to him exclaimed. Xiaozhu, you are really a stupid hat, the county commander saw that the tiger looked very powerful, and all he thought about all day long was how to catch it, and then present the tiger skin to the king, and the king would be promoted to his official position as soon as he was happy. There's no way, my brother is so naïve, my eldest brother has to explain patiently. 'Big brother, we've been here for so many days, but we haven't even seen the shadow of a tiger, is there really a tiger?' My brother and I have been hunters for so long, but we have never hunted tigers, and I am scared. Xiao Zhu's voice trembled a little. 'Xiaozhu, you're going to marry a daughter-in-law soon, why are you still so timid! Rest assured, everything is in the big brother. I hope that the tiger will come out soon, and that he will be able to return home soon after completing his mission, and don't forget that my mother is still at home day and night hoping that we will return safely! The eldest brother encouraged his brother. When I heard this, I was furious, what heinous and bad things did I do, and why did human beings do this to me? ”

The more the tiger spoke, the more angry he became, and the tail that was more than three feet long and as hard as a steel whip suddenly swept back, just hitting a small tree, and the thick trunk of the bowl mouth was immediately broken, "Although our tiger is fierce, it is above board to do things, I can't imagine that the county order would do such a despicable and shameless thing in order to get promoted and make a fortune, isn't this the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf?" ”

Hearing the tiger's impassioned words, Tie Tower's heart began to waver, and for some reason he actually believed it. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of this person when he first saw Diao County Ling, groveling and flattering in front of Zheng He, but treating his subordinates harshly, this is a complete villain.

The tower said softly, "This is just your words, how can you let me convince the others?" Otherwise, you can go back with me to meet the county magistrate, and the two of you will confront each other to see who is lying, and if it is really his fault, I will definitely not spare him. ”

"I've been deceived by humans many times, and I'll never be fooled again this time, you just want to trick me, and then set up an ambush against me, right? You hypocrite who aids and abets abuse, I can't bear it anymore today. The tiger was so grieved and angry that he suddenly pounced down from the hill and opened his bloody mouth to bite the tower.

The tower body flashed behind the tiger, grabbed the tiger's tail with both hands and picked up her five or six hundred pounds of body, and after turning around in place a few times, her hands were loosened, the tiger was like a ball flying into the distance, and fell on the big stone five or six zhang away, and the stone was knocked into a corner, thanks to the mercy of the tower's subordinates, otherwise she would have to go down the cliff to find her.

The corner of the tiger's mouth was bleeding, and it was unable to get up. She roared in a low voice, looking helpless, as if she was mourning for the twilight of her hero.

For some reason, the tower did not have the slightest joy of the victors, but was full of guilt, and said pityingly: "You better come with me!" ”

"I'm not going!" The tiger refused without hesitation, "I'd rather die at your hands than meet that despicable villain, you are stronger than me, even if you want to kill me, I will not have any complaints." ”

Why is she so stubborn? The tower is very difficult.

The tiger smiled miserably and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't believe in humans, for the sake of you and me, we are both four-hoofed animals, can you grant me a request before I die?" ”

Tie Ta was surprised, he had experienced many battles in his life, and the opponent had nothing but to pray for mercy before he died, and today was the first time he heard that there was a request, and it was a powerful tiger, he felt a little interesting, and smiled: "What do you ask for?" Let's hear it. ”

"My name is Tiger, I became a mom a few months ago, and I still have three children at home. I caught a sambar deer just now, can you help me send it back after you kill me? This is the last dinner I will prepare for the children, and they will have to rely on themselves to fend for themselves. They hid in a stone cave between two large trees halfway up the mountain, and there was a small pond next to it, which was easy to find. Tiger closed his eyes calmly, and a teardrop the size of a bean fell from the corner of his eye, "You can kill me now." ”

The tower was extremely moved when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that the fierce tiger had such a gentle side to his children. "Tiger poison does not eat children, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" He sighed, "If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" If you didn't kill innocents indiscriminately, how could I come to your trouble? ”

Tiger had already given up resisting and closed his eyes and waited for death, and after waiting for a while, he saw that the tower was still nagging there, and he couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, and said: "Although I don't know what you plan to do to me, I will definitely not let you be humiliated." Since you are interested in chatting, then I will accompany you to chat a few words, have you ever killed a life in your life? ”

Tie Ta was stunned, this question is not difficult to answer, but why is it not those good people who are full of benevolence and morality, but a fierce tiger? He thought seriously for a while, and then said: "Of course I have killed, I have not only killed people, but also lions, hyenas, crocodiles, pythons, monitor lizards, sharks...... As for rats and bats, there are so many that I can't even remember them. ”

"Then why did you kill them? Is not their life life? Tiger's questions were like the waves of the sea, rushing towards the tower.

"Because they threatened the lives of my compatriots, I killed them to save people, in self-defense." Iron Tower replied without thinking, it seems that Tiger's question does not need to be considered at all, and it is natural that it should be done this way, and it is unreasonable not to do it.

Tiger smiled, there was bitterness and helplessness in the laughter, but more sadness and anger, "Although I also kill, I never go to human places to hurt people, the first time I killed was when the hunter was about to poison my child, I was forced to do so." Before that, had anyone in a nearby village been injured by a tiger? Two days ago, you walked around the mountains for most of the day, did I take the initiative to attack you? It is natural for humans to kill us animals, and it is a heinous crime for us to defend ourselves and hurt human life. ”
