Chapter 172: Containment
Since the tiger's feces were found, Gao Mingcheng decided to follow the information left by the feces and go to find the tiger.
Tigers are also nocturnal animals, and in the middle of the night, they roar through the mountains and forests, looking for prey to eat, and during the day, they spend most of their time sleeping.
But like black bears, this habit is only true most of the time, not absolutely.
Tigers hanging outside during the day, that's not nothing.
Gao Mingcheng's eyesight and sense of smell have improved a lot compared to before, and he followed the feces left by the tiger and walked all the way towards the forest in front of him.
The more you walk, the more lush the trees become, and the site is quite good, with plenty of water, meadows, shrubs, wild berries, and some caves, large and small, suitable for tiger burrowing.
For tigers, this is a treasure trove of feng shui.
Gao Mingcheng walked while looking at the surrounding environment and keeping it in his heart.
He was a little hungry, so he picked some berries and stuffed them into his mouth, and after the berries were bitten, they were sweet and sour, and the taste was not good or bad.
Suddenly, his attention fell on a cliff, where a huge natural beehive had formed, Gao Mingcheng had been wandering around the mountains for so long, and had also dug up many wild beehives, but it was the first time he had encountered such a large beehive.
"At least fifty catties of honey...... Gao Mingcheng exclaimed, but he didn't have the idea of hitting this hive.
Because this hive is in a dangerous situation, although he may be able to get it with some effort, but without the protection of the sling equipment, there is a certain risk.
He now keeps his own bees, and he can't afford to take great risks to dig up the hive.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!
Gao Mingcheng easily convinced himself and continued to walk forward.
At this moment, he faintly seemed to hear a cry for help, and he stood and listened carefully.
"Help...... Is there anyone there? Help us! ”
This time, he heard the cry for help clearly.
A thought came to his mind, could it be that Mr. Naro did not go down the mountain, but was killed?
He decided to check it out.
He followed the sound, but what he didn't expect was that he hadn't seen the person calling for help, but he had seen the tiger first!
The South China tiger is a unique tiger in our country, in later generations, the South China tiger has been extinct in the wild, in fact, it has begun to decrease a lot in the wild at this time, Gao Mingcheng has been running in the mountains for so long, and now he knows that in the depths of this mountain range, there is a tiger.
The head of the South China tiger is round, the ears are short, the limbs are thick and powerful, the tail is long, the chest and abdomen are mixed with more milky white, and the whole body is orange-yellow and covered with black horizontal stripes. However, it is the smallest of the subspecies of tigers, so even if this tiger is a male, it does not look particularly powerful.
And it looks a little miserable.
It was shot in the right ear, and the bullet penetrated the ear, leaving a bloody hole directly in the ear. In addition to the wounds on its ears, its body was also covered with fine wounds, which were caused by the shotgun, but because the steel balls in it did not hit, only the scattered iron sand left shallow wounds on the tiger's body.
It perched beneath a locust tree, its eyes fixed on a cave not far away.
The entrance to the cave was blocked with stones, leaving only the size of a human head as a vent.
And the cry for help came from the cave.
Seeing this scene, Gao Mingcheng was very surprised, he didn't know what happened to this tiger and those people in the cave, but he knew that if he could keep this tiger, it would be better to keep it.
Although he will still be extinct in the wild, at least he will not die at his hands.
It's just that how can he let the tiger go, but still be able to release the people hiding in the cave?
If there is a tranquilizer gun, then he can shoot the tiger and anesthetize it, so that he can go over and treat its wound and move it to another safe place.
But in Gao Mingcheng's hands, there is no such thing as a tranquilizer gun!
After pondering for a long time, Gao Mingcheng saw that the tiger entrenched under the locust tree actually stood up, it walked to the edge of the cave, and did not appear in front of the reserved small hole, this is the experience it has gained, if it stands there, the people inside will have a way to hurt it.
It stood at the very edge, hiding in the corner of the eyes of the people inside the cave, and let out a low roar at the cave!
The beast's low roar was extremely intimidating, and the cave was silent for an instant, not daring to make the slightest sound.
At this time, after the tiger finished threatening, he quickly left!
It is hungry and therefore wants to look for prey to eat.
But it also has a bit of trickery, it does not leave directly, but first intimidates with a low roar, and then leaves quietly, so that the people hiding in the cave do not know that the tiger has actually left, so they dare not come out rashly.
Gao Mingcheng saw the tiger leave, and he was relieved in his heart.
If this tiger doesn't leave, he really can't save people without killing the tiger.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to show up, he picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it towards the hole reserved in the cave.
With a snap, the stone fell to the ground, frightening the people inside to make a frightened sound.
But soon, the people inside learned that someone was outside!
Someone has come to their rescue!
"Who's out there? Is the tiger gone? Someone in the cave shouted.
Gao Mingcheng pinched his voice and said, "The tiger is gone, come out quickly." ”
His voice was different from yesterday, yesterday it was rough and gloomy, and now it was a little unmasculine and unfeminine, as if he was imitating the eunuch's speech.
Soon, someone came out to look, and he saw neither the tiger nor who was talking to them.
"What are you doing! Move the stones! Mr. Luo's voice sounded, and the stones blocking the entrance of the cave were taken down little by little.
Soon, Mr. Luo, who was armed with a revolver, was the first to walk out, but before he came out, the Ma brothers immediately followed him, protecting him at all times, in addition to these three people, two more people came out of the cave, one of whom was seriously injured and was carried by another person.
Mr. Luo glared at them with disgust and said, "Since the tiger is gone, then let's go separately, you two don't follow us!" ”
If it weren't for these two calamities, he wouldn't have suffered such a great sin!
"The tiger has been chasing us since last night, and when we left, we were probably hungry. Let's take advantage of it to hunt and eat, hurry up! The boss of the Ma family said.
"Well, let's go!" was blocked by the tiger for most of the night and most of the day, and Mr. Luo also wanted to leave this ghost place quickly, so he immediately agreed with the words of the boss of the Ma family.
As for the second child of the Ma family, he was holding the injured hound, comforting the hounds not to make a sound, and the group walked briskly in the direction of going down the mountain.
The hound has four legs, and if one leg is injured, then relying on the other three legs, it can still walk, but it is a little lame and slow.
In order not to let the hunting dogs drag him down, the second child of the Ma family has been holding the hunting dogs.
