Chapter Eighty-Seven: An Inner Monologue from Might

I am a tiger, and I am a very famous tiger, my ancestors originated in the three eastern provinces. This reminds me of the old song, "My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China." "Yes, as you might have guessed, I'm a Siberian tiger.

I like snow, I like the cold wind and the biting low temperature, I yearn for the endless dense ice and snow forest, I like to gallop in the ice and snow forest against the cold wind, this is my dream. But I haven't seen the Ice Fields and Snow Forest, because I was born in a zoo, and yes, I am a Siberian tiger whose heart is in the Ice Forest and I am in the zoo, and my name is Weiwu.

When did I start dreaming? I think it was when I was a kid and when I was just an adult, I can't remember.

I just remember that when I was a child, I already lived in a zoo, at first I lived in a big room, and then when I grew up, I lived in a big pit with rockeries and caves, and what I had to do every day was to get out of the cave and walk around the big pit, so that the waves of two-legged beasts standing on the edge of the pit called humans watched and pointed, and then there were humans preparing food for me, and after eating I could sleep or walk around again.

I remember asking my mother, "Mommy, Mommy, why is our fur so long and so thick? It's so hot." "When the wind and snow come, the long, thick fur can protect us from the cold and keep us warm," said Mom. ”

"Mom, Mom, why are our teeth so sharp and sharp, it feels so fierce. Mom said, "Sharp teeth can make us bite our prey better, so that we don't go hungry." ”

"Mommy, Mommy......"

I remember that I asked a lot of questions, and my mother answered them all for me, but my mother didn't answer me to the last question, and I was very happy when I heard my mother's answer, so I asked my mother, "Mom, Mom, since we have so many advantages, why are we still in this closed zoo instead of galloping in the ice field and snow forest?"

My mother didn't answer me and turned away from me, and I later learned that my mother was also born in a zoo, and once upon a time she had such a question, just like me, there was no answer.

Later, my mother died, and there was no tiger to answer my questions, and then I was also used to being watched and pointed at by humans, and I was also used to being fed by humans, as if this was a matter of course, they fed me, and I was for them to appreciate, until that day changed me, the Siberian tiger is mighty.

It was like I had slept for a long time, and when I woke up I had learned to think about why I was not the king of waving hands, instead of galloping through the ice forest and being the king, but being watched and pointed at in this small place called the Tiger Pit.

With this question I asked my fellow people in the pit, but to my disappointment, they were very much like me before, just eating and sleeping, and not even having basic thinking, all this seemed to be their instinct.

I don't know if I've evolved or if they've degenerated, but by the way, I still know what the words evolution and degradation mean by listening to those humans, as if I've become smart and think.

With this question in mind, I began to think about it constantly, and gradually I began to hate being imprisoned in such a small world, to hate the face of the keepers, to be sent all day long, to be pointed and yelled at by humans, and to eat the same food every day.

So I started my prison escape program, yes, I felt like living here was like a human being living in a prison, it bound my freedom, stifled my wildness, I wanted my freedom, I wanted my wildness, there was no difference between a tiger and a salted fish.

In order to find out the opening and closing time of the cage door, I squatted at the cage door for three days and three nights, and I had been sleeping in front of the cage door for three days, and at first the keepers were still wary of my squatting, and then they saw that I had been very honest and no longer paid attention to me, so I knew how to open and close the cage door, which was nothing more than inserting the pin first and then locking, and the lock was just an ordinary lock.

After I figured out the law of opening and closing the cage door, the operation of the prison escape began to be put on the agenda, the first is the accumulation of energy, to put it bluntly, it is to eat more meat and store fat, for which I do not hesitate to snatch the food of other tigers, since I began to know how to think, somehow I understand these things, and even vaguely feel that the tigers who live with me are no longer my kind, after I compete for food a few times, those tigers have become much more honest.

After stockpiling the fat, my escape plan was officially launched, and in the afternoon of this day, it was the time when the breeders were ready to leave work, and when I saw the keepers coming to feed, I silently walked to the cage door and lay down, I knew that this was the last feeding of the breeders today, and after feeding, the keepers would leave work, so that they would not appear here again.

The keeper was not surprised to see me lying at the door of the cage, because I have been doing this all these days, and it can be said that they have been paralyzed by my early feints, and after seeing the keeper walk in, I used my claws to pick up a small pebble and stuffed it into the keyhole, this pebble was specially prepared after I observed it for a long time, and I don't know why, my paws are more flexible than before to do the action of clamping the pebble.

When I saw the feeding keeper walking towards the cage door, my heart also beat with the heart, because the next moment when the keeper locked the cage door is the most critical moment, once the keeper found that the lock can not be locked then my plan will fail, except for waiting for a period of time is to break out and hurt people directly bite the breeder and forcibly escape, these two situations are not what I want to see.

The moment I saw the keeper lock the door, I felt like my heart was about to jump out, for fear that he would find out that there was a problem with the lock. However, the moment the keeper turned around, I knew that I had succeeded, perhaps because I had become accustomed to it or maybe I had done too well to paralyze them, and the careless keeper pressed the lock nose and turned away without finding anything unusual at all, which meant that my first step was quite successful, and the next thing was to wait quietly for the sky to get completely dark.

The waiting time was the hardest, because I couldn't help but touch the lock, but fortunately, my wisdom was not what it used to be, and I couldn't help but jump a few times to celebrate.

It was completely dark, the other tigers had gone into the cave to rest, and it was time for me to start my second plan. I pretended to be nothing, walked to the cage door, stretched out my paws, touched the lock, and heard the lock sound like a heavenly crunch in my ears - the lock opened.

I quickly tossed the pin aside with my paws, and with a gentle push of the cage door it opened, and I got out of the cage and inserted the pin again, because it would stop the other tigers from coming out - if they came out, it would be difficult for them to get out of the zoo according to their intelligence, and they would be killing themselves.

I carefully avoided the humans on duty all the way and finally came to a garbage place, and I did not hesitate to endure the stench and burrow into the garbage heap for the sake of freedom, for the sake of freedom everything can be endured.

I endured the stench all night, until it was just a little light, and a few humans carried the garbage with me, feeling the slight bump, and I knew that when the bump stopped, it was when I was free.

Finally, the bump stopped, and I spent a long time in the garbage pile just to be on the safe side, and when I came out of the garbage heap, although there was a large pile of garbage in front of me, the most attractive thing was the continuous verdant in the distance, and I knew that it was the mountain forest and the place I dreamed of.

I spread my feet and ran towards the greenery, only to feel the breath of freedom rippling all around me, especially when I touched the first tree, I knew that I was really free, long live freedom!

Feeling this carefree atmosphere, soon the night's worry made me extremely sleepy, so I found a place I thought was safe to start sleeping, this sleep can be described as a dark sleep, I felt that my whole spirit was sublimated, but I found that there were still some side effects, I woke up to find that my majestic tiger tail turned into a cow's tail, and the two teeth on the top turned out to be very long, could it be that I didn't grind my teeth in time? When I stood up, I noticed that the trees around me had become so short, or rather, my body had become so big.

Although I found that everything was still very harmonious after the change, the consequences of the side effects were still obvious, that is, I was so hungry, I could eat a mountain when I was hungry, and then I realized that I didn't even think about eating, so I started my first hunt of tigers.

When I walked out of the mountain, I happened to see a cow, so I frantically pounced on it, and finally I succeeded in making a meal, just look at the oxtail hanging on my buttocks, and finally I still didn't put the tail down, because I had some self-eating feelings, so I had to throw it away.

Later, I found two people, who should have come to find something, but I was hungry at the time, so they became things that filled my stomach, and then I realized that the humans I had been in awe of were actually just my prey, and after eating the humans, I found that it made me very comfortable, so I concocted and ate three more people according to the law, and the weapons brought by the latter two people brought me pain, but they were not fatal, it turned out that I was already strong to this point.

I only wanted this kind of automatic human beings to come and feed me as much as possible, so I waited and finally waited for such a group of thirty or forty people, and there was one person I was afraid of, this is a feeling in the dark, and after I fought him for a few rounds I ran away, because he could hurt me, but I didn't expect him to be able to catch up with me, so we fought again, only this time he was a lot more cunning, honestly trying to entangle me and not let me escape, and finally his companions caught up.

When his sword shot at my mouth, I knew that I lost, and the price of losing was death, and at that moment I thought a lot, I didn't want to be a tiger imprisoned by others, and I yearned for freedom This is my own choice, then I should bear the price of death, I don't regret it, just like a salted fish, although it is still a salted fish, but I am at least a salted fish that has turned over, my name is mighty......
