Chapter 59: Subduing the Tiger (Part II)

"Okay." Liang Zhenhui knew that Zhang Shaofei never did something he was not sure of, so he ran to his house after answering. In less than half a bag of cigarettes, he returned to Zhang Shaofei with the big hunting dog Ah Wang.

Zhang Shaofei was very familiar with the hunting dog Ah Wang, took the hound from Liang Zhenhui's hand, gently stroked its smooth fur, and murmured: "Ah Wang, I want you to do a big favor this time." ”

The hound raised his head and looked at Zhang Shaofei meekly.

Not long after, Zhong Hanwei and Ah Sheng each came to the scene with a little tiger cub in their arms.

The two little tiger cubs have a tender yellow coat and short claws, and their eyes are only open, just waiting to be fed. When they saw the mother tiger on that side, they reflexively screamed.

This is a terrible call!

When the tigress saw her children fall into the hands of the people, she thought that they were going to hurt them, and the motherly nature drove her desperate struggle and roared wildly. The sound was like thunder rolling in the sky, shaking the earth, and its right hind leg was firmly clamped by an iron clamp, but its two forelimbs still moved freely. It stretches out its forelimbs and grabs the ground with its sharp claws. The dirt on the ground was grabbed and splashed in all directions.

As a result, the villagers who were so frightened that they were originally close to the tigress panicked and ran out one after another, walking far away.

Faced with this scene, Zhang Shaofei was calm and calm, and asked Liang Zhenhui to press the hound Ah Wang on the ground about seven or eight feet away from the tigress. He personally held the two little tiger cubs and put them beside Wang.

The two cubs had been without milk for most of the day, and they were so hungry that they were very uncomfortable. Now I saw the pink nipple with the smell of milk in front of me, and whether it was my mother's nipple or not, I stretched my neck vigorously, and took the swollen nipple of the bitch in my mouth, sucking hard, sucking hard, and eating milk "squeak, squeak".

This scene made the villagers around stunned.

After some struggle, the tigress wound was more painful, knowing that she was in prison, she had done nothing, she stared at Zhang Shaofei's every move, and saw that her newborn children were eating dog milk with relish, Zhang Shaofei not only did not hurt them, but treated them so well, they no longer struggled and roared in vain, quieted down, became decent, and looked at Zhang Shaofei with grateful eyes.

Zhang Shaofei saw that the two little tiger cubs had eaten enough dog milk, so he picked them up with both hands, held them in his arms, and teased them in front of the tigress.

The well-fed little tiger cub shook his head proudly towards Zhang Shaofei, waving his tail, very lively and cute.

After Zhang Shaofei played with the little tiger cub, he instructed Zhong Hanwei: "You can put them back in the tiger's den over there." ”

"Okay." After Zhong Hanwei responded, he and Ah Sheng each hugged the little tiger cub from Zhang Shaofei's arms and went straight to the tiger's den at the end of the pit.

Strange as it may seem, the tigress saw that people were taking her children away from her, and this time she did not agitate or roar, as if she knew that people would not harm her children.

The sunset has sunk from the West Mountain, and the vast twilight is wandering on the Cloud Mountain. The homing birds in the forest gradually quieted down, and the smoke from the surrounding farmhouses decreased.

Zhong Hanqiang pointed to the tigress that had become slightly restrained, and asked Zhang Shaofei, "What should we do with this guy now?" ”

Zhang Shaofei is confident: "As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The indoctrination of it can only be done slowly. Now that the fire has not yet arrived, let time kill its evil deeds. Now it's still so angry, and we can only indulge it with our desires. ”

Zhong Hanqiang: "Want to catch the old man? ”

Zhang Shaofei nodded: "Well, the nature of the tiger is beast, there is no humanity, but there is also spirituality." It will only recognize the food that will keep it alive, so let's make it suffer a little more, and let it make it when it is desperate and helpless. ”

Zhong Hanqiang heard Zhang Shaofei say this, and suddenly understood the meaning in his heart: "Do you want to starve it for a few days first?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Shaofei nodded, "Let's ignore it for the time being tonight, let it starve, and take it slowly to fix it." ”

Zhong Hanqiang said to Zhang Shaofei with admiration: "Okay, I believe that you always think of more ways than we think." ”

Zhang Shaofei waved his hand outward and signaled, "It's getting late, everyone go home first." Let the tiger spend the night here. ”

Zhong Hanqiang: "Okay. ”

Seeing that it was getting late, the people of the four villages dispersed in twos and threes. As they walked, they talked about the strange things that had happened this afternoon.

The night fell deeply, and now only the tigress trapped in the trap of the beast was left in the lively place, standing alone in this dark mountain field for the night.

At night in Yunwu Mountain, it returned to its usual normal, and under the blowing of the mountain wind, frogs and grass insects were added to sing all night long.

On the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Shaofei, Liang Futian, and Liang Zhenhui came to the tigress with the hound Ah Wang in their arms as they did yesterday.

Liang Futian and Liang Zhenhui took the two little tiger cubs out of the tiger's den again, and fed them the two little tiger cubs with dog milk again in front of the tigress.

This tigress was trapped in the trap for the first time, and when she was caught in the trap of the beast, she struggled and roared desperately, which consumed a lot of energy. In broad daylight, exposed to the unsheltered place, exposed to the scorching sun in the air, the whole body is hot and hot, and the sweat of the whole body is dripping down. At night, the mountain wind is cool, like a cold arrow from the pores into the tigress's body, making it constantly shiver.

In this way, for several days, the tigress had nothing to eat or water to drink, her bulging belly was deeply dented, and her thick ribs were exposed under the colorful tiger skin.

This tiger, which has always been mighty and vicious, has been so hungry that it is weak, and its whole body is weak and limp.

These days, the careful Zhang Shaofei is doing it while observing the tigress's demeanor.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Zhang Shaofei found that the fierce light and murderous aura in the tigress's green eyes were gone, revealing a strong desire to survive. He knew that this trick was already paying off.

The next day, Zhang Shaofei divided half of his meal from home, served it in a basin, and came to the almost dying tiger.

At first, Zhang Shaofei didn't dare to approach the tigress, but slowly pushed the basin containing the food in front of the tigress with a wooden stick.

There is a way to be hungry and not choose to eat. The tigress smelled the fragrant meal in front of her, lowered her head and devoured it, and finally licked the remaining juices from the bottom of the basin with her wide red tongue.

For a few days, Zhang Shaofei concocted this tigress in this way. When he found that the tigress had no ill will towards him, Zhang Shaofei had the courage to gradually approach it, gently stroked its fur, caught lice for it, and then stroked its forelimbs, seeing that it would not attack people with tiger claws, and finally walked in front of the tigress, directly and kindly stroked its forehead, and communicated with it silently with practical actions.

Sincerely, the gold and stone are open. As the days passed, under the influence of Zhang Shaofei's sincerity, the tigress's good impression of Zhang Shaofei increased day by day, and her copper bell-like eyes poured out a grateful look, and she gently licked Zhang Shaofei's hand with her tongue from time to time, conveying the information in her heart with Zhang Shaofei.

Zhong Hanqiang, Zhong Hanwei and some villagers came to watch Zhang Shaofei's way of getting along with the tigress every day, and they were a little worried about Zhang Shaofei at first, but later saw that the situation was developing step by step in a good direction, and they were happy for Zhang Shaofei.

Zhang Shaofei, the "benevolent", made the tigress also "moved", and she and Zhang Shaofei became good friends who could play.

Zhong Hanqiang witnessed the development of the whole incident from beginning to end, and said to Zhang Shaofei with admiration: "Ah Fei, you, you are really amazing. Such a ferocious tiger has also been tamed so obediently by you. ”

Zhang Shaofei's words are meaningful: "The way all things in the world get along is the same. If you have a tiger in your heart, it will always be a tiger. If this tiger is no longer a man-eating tiger in your heart, then it is no longer a man-eating tiger. ”

Zhong Hanqiang pondered Zhang Shaofei's words, and also realized something from them: "You have a point. What's your secret weapon? ”

Zhang Shaofei pointed to his chest: "It's easy to understand the heart." Act with kindness, and everything will work. ”

A few days later, seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Shaofei personally untied the trap, and used the collected Chinese herbs to apply to the wound on the tigress's right hind leg, and then bandaged it with a strip of cloth.

I have been trapped in the trap for more than half a month, and I can't return to my tiger's den, and the joy of the tigress regaining her freedom and reuniting with her growing children can be imagined. It circled around Zhang Shaofei's side three times, and then lay down on his forelimbs in a kneeling position, and then wagged his tail and went back to "home".

Since then, Zhang Shaofei has become good friends with this tigress and her two little tigers.

Zhang Shaofei also used leaves as whistles to connect with them in this special way, often playing with them and domesticating them.

This tigress is also very knowledgeable, and no longer does the evil deeds of mutilating the villagers in Yunwu Mountain. When the surrounding villagers saw this tiger, they would not be as frightened as before, and they would run away. This is because the tiger often runs to distant mountains and forests to catch vicious animals when foraging for food.

Those thieves who once came to Yunwu Mountain to steal chickens and dogs saw that the big tiger often cruised around the tiger pit, where did they dare to come and do evil again?

Over time, the name of "Tiger Pit" spread more and more, spread farther and farther, and finally became a fixed place name in people's mouths.

It is not absurd that Zhang Shaofei was able to tame the tiger, and some people in the Western Regions had long been able to domesticate the tiger and lion to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Emperor, and also took them back and forth on Tongqu Street. Under the seat of Buddha Shakyamuni, there are eighteen Arhats who protect the Dharma, one of which is Venerable Qingyou, an Arhat who has surrendered to the demon dragon, and there is also a Venerable Maitreya, a tiger Arhat who has surrendered to a tiger.
