Chapter 173: The Tiger Forced to Escape
Gao Mingcheng didn't care about Mr. Luo and the Ma family brothers who left, but focused on the remaining two.
The person who was injured in the thigh and had passed out in a coma, he actually knew that it was the middle-aged man who sold the black tiger to him!
When he first sold the black tiger, it was said that his son had polio and needed money to go to the hospital for treatment, and Gao Mingcheng didn't go out of his way to inquire after that, I don't know if his son's illness has been cured.
The man who carried him on his back was strong, with a shotgun around his neck and a dagger pinned to his waist, and it seemed that he had gone into the mountains to hunt.
The news of the presence of black bears in this mountain range may have spread thoroughly, so people have entered the mountains one after another.
But they certainly didn't expect that there was still a fierce tiger hidden in this mountain!
However, tigers are also good prey for some people, and the reputation of tiger bone wine is enduring.
The person who sold the black tiger was a person from Kengli Village, so when they went down the mountain, they must have walked the same road to Kengli Village, but with the footsteps of ordinary people, they had to go until it was dark, and they were carrying a person on their backs, so they were afraid that they would have to spend the night in the mountains.
Gao Mingcheng touched his pocket and took out a box of anti-inflammatory drugs from it, as for the hemostatic medicine, he didn't have to bring it, because as long as he was familiar with herbal medicine, he could find herbs to stop bleeding in the mountains.
The more common hemostatic drugs in the mountains are thistle, wormwood, locust flower, oriental cypress leaves, white grass root, hairy money grass, and golden dog hair fern.
If Gao Mingcheng is injured and the wound is not big, it is better to use the golden dog hair fern, because tearing off the furry thing on the golden dog hair fern and putting it on the wound and pressing it for a minute or two will quickly stop the bleeding.
This thing is very common in the mountains, it is easy to obtain, and it does not need to be processed, just apply it directly to the wound.
Gao Mingcheng found the right angle, threw the anti-inflammatory medicine in his hand at the man, and said, "How did he get hurt?" You give him some anti-inflammatory medicine first, and then find some golden dog hair fern to compress his wound. ”
The strong man had long known that someone was hiding nearby, and when he heard the sound, he was not surprised, he first thanked him, and then said: "He was chased by a tiger, and rolled down the hillside, and his right foot was broken and injured, and his head was also hit." Brother, can you do me a favor? I carried him alone, and I had to go down the mountain as long as I could before dark. ”
Gao Mingcheng was silent for a moment, he was willing to save people, but he was unwilling to reveal his identity.
So he said, "I will help you to keep the tiger in check, so that the tiger will not chase you." ”
For these two men, the tiger is also a danger lurking in the shadows.
The strong man was silent for a few seconds, he put down the person on his back, picked up the anti-inflammatory medicine on the ground, first fed the wounded and unconscious man, then took the kettle from his waist, and fed the man two sips of water, followed by a few sips of water himself.
After doing this, he put the man back on his back and walked down the hill step by step.
Gao Mingcheng watched them leave, and then went to track down the injured tiger.
After searching for a long time in the mountains and forests, he saw the wounded tiger, which had finished hunting and feeding, and there were some fur and bone blood left on the ground.
Gao Mingcheng guessed that the tiger should have hunted a hare, but a hare obviously could not satisfy the appetite of a tiger, so the tiger took a short break and continued to look for prey.
Tigers are masters of hunting, but at the same time, the success rate of tiger hunting is not high, so it takes a lot of time to be able to hunt enough prey to eat each time.
And once the tiger is old, there is a risk of starvation.
However, this tiger should still look like he is still in the prime of life, with a strong body and a very strong build.
It's just that it has injuries on its body, so it looks a little embarrassed.
It began to continue hunting, and in this familiar territory, it apparently knew which prey lived where, and now its goal was to hunt a wild boar.
Eating large amounts of food can effectively restore wound healing.
Gao Mingcheng has been following the tiger all the time, witnessing its search for prey and the whole process of hunting.
Instead of choosing a large group of wild boars, the injured tiger chose a group of only five wild boars, which were feeding in the woods, some were gnawing on young leaves, some were digging for insects, and some were eating berries.
After finding its target, the tiger hid in the shadows, first observed, and then quickly ran forward and bit a small wild boar.
After the little wild boar was frightened, it escaped from the tiger's mouth in a thrilling way, and the rest of the wild boars were also frightened, and instinctively ran away.
The tiger continued to chase after it, staring at its target as it was about to bite the boar again, when there was a noise from the depths of the woods.
"it!" Gao Mingcheng's eyes widened, he actually saw an unusually ferocious wild boar!
This may be the king of wild boars, much larger than ordinary wild boars, and terrifying. It led a dozen wild boars behind it, and it actually rushed towards the tiger.
This momentum made the tiger dare not touch it, and the tiger turned around and left.
Seeing the wild boar king Yaowu screaming and running, Gao Mingcheng said that he was also frightened.
He looked around left and right, his face full of surprise, obviously it was the same mountain range, but why was there not only a tiger here, but also a wild boar king?
Obviously, the wild boars near Gaojia Village are not so fierce!
The wild boar that can fight with the tiger, even if Gao Mingcheng is against him, he has to weigh it, and he left quietly, not daring to provoke this fierce wild boar king.
The fur of this wild boar king is even thicker and harder, there is a pair of fangs in his mouth, and he looks at the size, about 400 catties, and when he runs, he is like a black mountain.
Under the leadership of the boar king, the rest of the wild boars also joined the team and ran with the boar king, they drove the tiger far away, forcing the tiger to jump into the water to escape, and then stopped.
Unlike other cats, the tiger is a good swimmer, and because it has no sweat glands, it will run into the water to swim and cool down in hot weather.
Gao Mingcheng looked down all the way and found that this group of wild boars seemed to be different from the wild boar breeds he had hunted before, they were obviously more ferocious, and the wild boars that Gao Mingcheng had hunted before were relatively timid, and when they were in danger, they would instinctively run away instead of organizing to fight.
Gao Mingcheng remembered that the old man in the village had said that in the past six years, someone dug a cave in the mountain and secretly raised pigs, and was later discovered.
Afterwards, because no domestic pigs were found in the mountains, even if the cave where the pigs were raised, the matter was finally settled.
Could it be that the wild boars he hunted were the offspring of domestic pigs and wild boars? So not as fierce as a pure boar?
Although this is just a guess, Gao Mingcheng believed it, and sincerely thanked the wild boar he encountered at the beginning, not a fierce wild thing like the wild boar king!
