Chapter 780 Four Ground Tigers
"This thing is a cat in the sky, but it's a tiger in the lower realm. Because of the nail board marks on its face, it has a pockmarked face, and it's called a 'hemp tiger'."

"Because they came down from the sky, they are somewhat different from the tigers in the world. Tigers can't climb trees, they can, and have the same virtue as cats; tigers usually live alone, but they live in pairs; tigers also have foreheads. Wang Zi, they didn't..."

"When my ancestor first arrived in Xuantian Village, he negotiated with Ma Hu with 99 oxen and exchanged valleys and water sources with them."

"As a result, Mahuo thought that there were too few, and the ancestors had no choice. They thought that they would take root anyway, so they handed over all the donkeys that carried the goods to Mahuo. Then Mahuo agreed to give up the territory around Xuantianzhai, and also agreed Don't come to disturb the village."

"After the negotiation, Ma Hu took the ox and donkey to Shushan Mountain. As a result, they couldn't finish eating all at once, and the donkey and ox ran all over the mountain. Later, these scattered donkeys became mountain donkeys, and the cows became mountain donkeys. mountain cow."

Li Junge couldn't laugh or cry: "Old Qu, the mountain donkey is the serow, and the mountain ox is the takin. This legend is not accurate."

Academician Qu said: "Then what do you mean by purple cats?"

Li Junge reached into his pocket, took out some hairs and said, "I picked it up from the branch next to the excrement. I thought it belonged to that cat. Now it seems that it might be left by a big red squirrel or something like that." gone."

Academician Qu took a look and said, "It's not like a big red squirrel, nor like a jackal."

After speaking, he handed the hair to an assistant, sealed it in a small bag, and said, "What is it, I will talk about it after going back for DNA analysis."

Li Junge smiled and said: "That's right. I've never heard that there are tigers in Shuzhou. The legend in the grandfather's village must have been brought over from the migration road. Wait, there are no donkeys in Guizhou. Into... Oh, at least there were tigers in Qianzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan’s story could not be based on this legend, right? It’s normal for a tiger that was taken care of by Thor to be timid!”

Academician Qu laughed loudly: "You young people have good brains! But the fables written by the ancients are full of gods and ghosts, which is not enough to be believed! But the records in the county annals are barely reliable. Let me tell you Piwa, when Shu There are not only tigers in the state, but there are even tiger disasters!"

Li Junge smiled and said, "Don't tell me I'm like a stray dog ​​in the city now..."

Academician Qu smiled and said: "That's true! And the time is not too long, it was in the early Qing Dynasty. Back then, Zhang Xianzhong, the Ming army, the Qing army, and the San Francisco fought repeatedly in Shuzhou, causing the land of abundance to become a wasteland. It is said that no one has cultivated the fertile land for more than 50 years.”

""Rongchang County Chronicles" records that in the early Qing Dynasty, there was a county magistrate named Zhang Maochang who took eight people to take office in Rongchang County. At that time, the area between Yuzhou Prefecture and Rongchang County had become a continuous forest. There was no sign of anyone in the hole, so people pushed a house away to understand the situation, but a group of tigers rushed out of the house and killed five people on the spot."

Li Junge was dumbfounded: "Are you kidding? A group?"

Academician Qu laughed and said, "Is this an exaggeration? It is recorded in "A Brief Introduction to Southern Sichuan" that in many places in southern Sichuan at that time, dozens of families lived together on the first floor, and there were large gates outside the buildings. Dozens of people had to go together to fetch water, and they had to bring With swords and sticks, even military camps have incidents of tigers breaking into camps and wounding people. During the five to eight years of the Shunzhi Dynasty, the court often received reports that all the residents of a certain village in a certain county were killed by tigers. There were even groups of tigers in the Wandering in the streets, or go upstairs to observe the activities of people in the city."

Li Junge immediately sneered: "How is it possible!"

Academician Qu turned on his mobile phone and found an article: "Look, in the report of the magistrate of Nanchong, there were 220 original households, 55 people were killed by tigers, 74 people died of illness, 42 people were recruited, and then The tiger devoured [-] people, that's more than half of them gone..."

Li Junge touched his chin and thought for a long time: "Actually, I prefer these people not to be eaten by tigers, but by county magistrates..."

Academician Qu said: "You think far ahead. Anyway, so many records about tiger disasters at least show that there were a lot of tigers in Shuzhou at that time."

Li Junge said: "In 70 years, it is scary to be able to recover such a large population!"

Academician Qu said: "There must be a huge population base. With the Siberian tiger's base now, even if the environment and food keep up, it's something you can't even think about."

After finishing speaking, he said: "The recovery is faster and the disappearance is faster. There were no reports of tiger disasters in the middle of Kangxi. If tigers can be found in Shushan, it is hard to say. Most of them are South China tigers that have disappeared for a long time. A nature reserve cannot escape. Lost."

After speaking, I feel that the possibility is too small: "The scope of a tiger's activities mainly depends on the abundance of prey. A tiger needs to prey on fifty deer a year..."

Li Junge said: "In the old days, there was only one musk deer in Bifeng Mountain, and there were four musk deer in a square kilometer. With other prey, ten square kilometers could feed a tiger. That's why we explored this land this time. It can fit thirty of them."

Academician Qu burst out laughing: "Then you must have a tiger to pretend to be for you first! The reason why wild boars are infested now is because there are not enough top predators."

Li Junge picked up the big bow and stood up: "Then next time we will bring the infrared camera over and install it near here! You have worked hard today, go to rest early, the weather is getting colder and colder, everyone remember to wear clothes when you go out. Appropriate, don't catch a cold in the last two days."

At night, Li Junge asked his cousin to guard the place with a shotgun on the high platform of a bamboo frame, while he patrolled around the old camp in Bitter Nest.

At two o'clock in the morning, the feeling of being watched came again.

Thinking that it might be a big leopard, or even a South China tiger that had disappeared for decades, Li Junge was very excited.

With Wutong fist as the base and the help of spatial photography, Li Junge decided to boldly touch it and have a look.

All the way up to the position of the lookout post, the wild animals peeping at the camp disappeared again.

Li Junge walked into the pine forest along the path he found yesterday.

As soon as he entered the forest, he suddenly felt two breaths locking him up and down.

Li Junge looked up at the pine tree above. Under the moonlight, there was a huge monster lying on a thick horizontal branch. Its body was thick and slender, like an enlarged version of a leopard, but its snout was shorter. The pattern on its body was similar to that of a tiger, with black and white stripes. Gray and three colors are mixed, but the background color is not yellow, but the purple black picked up yesterday, which looks almost completely black in the dark night.

Dark purple tiger!

There is no king character on the forehead, and there are no stripes. Instead, there are small white and gray spots, mainly distributed on the forehead and the long beard on the mouth.

This big cat is so beautiful!Moreover, this kind of animal that resembles a jaguar, a South China tiger, and a leopard has never been reported outside!

The other one also stood up from the grass, the same species as the one on the tree, but even bigger and more powerful.

The one on the ground should only be a male, and the one on the tree should only be a female.

It may be due to the breath of Li Junge's spiritual spring. The one on the tree was still lazy, and it didn't show anything when it looked at Li Junge. Its drooping tail curled twice, and then hung down again, almost without moving.

However, the movement of standing up made Li Junge heave a sigh of relief. After hanging around with Weiwei for a long time, he knows the habits of cats. In this state, he did not intend to treat Li Junge as a dish.

Li Junge squatted down, tried to release his kindness, and then began to carefully observe these two extremely beautiful beasts.

Both beasts are very healthy, their coats are shiny and shiny, their shoulder muscles are bulging, and their occlusal muscles are well developed, making their faces into round faces. They don't look fierce, but rather cute.

The fur on the chest and abdomen is lighter, and even under low light, with Li Junge's keen eyes, it can be seen that it is a kind of purple.

Li Junge was both nervous and excited, and his heart was beating wildly. Grandpa Yu's legend about the Miao family was true, and his first deduction was also correct!There are really purple and black big cats in Shushan, there are really big tigers!

The male tiger didn't show any signs of fear. It seemed that the pair of Mahu tigers had long been accustomed to being at the top of the food chain in Shushan, and it seemed that they had never seen anyone.

It even took two steps towards Li Junge curiously, trying to get close.

The female beast "barked" on the tree, and the male beast stopped, and then shook its neck hair.

Li Junge laughed, this is also an ear-scratcher, what is the difference between this virtue and a husband who is being greeted by his wife, deliberately finds a way to resolve the embarrassment?
In the space, apart from fish, there are only a few small-legged black-bone chickens that Li Junge intends to use to breed fine breeds, which have been several generations old.

Gritting his teeth, he said after cultivating fine seeds, first moved two out and threw them not far in front of him.

Now the male tiger couldn't bear it anymore, jumped over and slapped the poor black-bone chicken to death, and then began to feast on it.

Li Junge immediately activated, taking the male beast into the space.

The female beast immediately sensed the disappearance of the male beast's breath, knowing that the strange creature in front of her must be playing tricks, and immediately jumped down from the pine tree towards him.

Then Li Junge took it in too.

This operation made Li Junge break out in a cold sweat, because the space must be calm and calm. The power of the female tiger's pounce just now was indeed terrifying. Fortunately, I moved quickly and completed the operation before I had time to be afraid. I'm afraid I have to explain it here today.

However, my legs became weak afterwards, and I was covered in cold sweat. I couldn't help but feel afraid, and now I can't cut in.

When I calmed down and then cut into the space, I found that it was impossible to see in the space.

The Qingmin stone house has been turned into ruins by two moose tigers. It seems that a black-bone chicken flew randomly onto the roof, and then the chicken and the house were knocked down together.

The rest of them were gone too, only chicken feathers left on the ground.

Two hemp tigers lay comfortably on the lawn and licked their paws.

Li Junge stepped forward to communicate with them, and there is no need to be afraid when they get here.

In addition to being tall and mighty, the two hemp tigers are actually less intelligent than Bai Da. Although they have never met people, they still have a good impression of Li Junge who brought them here. They all rubbed their heads against him affectionately, pressing him to play on the grass.

It was too tiring to communicate with the spiritual consciousness, so Li Junge simply gave up, and it would be better to scratch them directly with his hands.

After playing together for more than an hour, Li Junge realized that it was past four o'clock, and he had to go down the mountain quickly, otherwise the people below would be in a hurry.

Quickly released the two giant beasts, the two were overjoyed to see that there were two unfinished black-bone chickens on the ground, and they tore into their stomachs in twos.

Still unwilling after eating, he offered his head to Li Junge, meaning he still wanted to go into the space to look for it.

After entering the space, the tiger turned into a cat. Li Junge had no choice but to point to the depths of the pine forest: "Go home, it's almost dawn, what's the trouble! I'll bring you delicious food tomorrow night!"

The two cute tigers seemed to recognize him as the boss. Seeing that it was no good, they obediently obeyed and walked back step by step.

Li Junge watched the two cute tigers jumping up the pine tree and disappearing on the cliff, so he let out a long breath and hurried down the mountain.
