Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 173 Containment
Now that the tiger's feces were found, Gao Mingcheng decided to follow the information left by the feces to find the tiger.

Tigers are also nocturnal animals. In the middle of the night, they roar in the mountains and forests, looking for prey to eat, and during the day, they sleep most of the time.

But like black bears, this habit only happens most of the time, not absolutely.

There are tigers wandering outside during the day, that's not without it.

Gao Mingcheng's eyesight and sense of smell have improved a lot compared to before. He followed the feces left by the tiger and walked all the way to the forest ahead.

The further you walk, the more lush the trees inside. This site is quite good, with a lot of water, grass, shrubs, wild berries, and some large and small caves, suitable for tigers to live in caves.

For the tiger, this is considered a treasure land of geomantic omen.

As Gao Mingcheng walked, he looked at the surrounding environment and kept it in his heart.

He was a little hungry, so he picked some berries and stuffed them into his mouth. After the berries were bitten, they were sweet and sour, and the taste was neither bad nor bad.

Suddenly, his attention fell on a cliff, where a huge natural beehive actually formed. Gao Mingcheng has wandered around the mountains for so long, and has also dug out many wild beehives, but this is the first time he has come across such a large beehive. hive.

"There must be at least fifty catties of honey..." Gao Mingcheng exclaimed, but he didn't think about the hive.

Because the beehive is in a dangerous situation, although he might be able to get it if he tries hard, there is a certain risk without the protection of the sling equipment.

Now that he keeps bees by himself, he can't afford to take great risks to dig out the hive.

A gentleman does not stand under a wall of danger!

Gao Mingcheng convinced himself easily, and continued to walk forward.

At this time, he seemed to hear a faint call for help, so he stopped and listened carefully.

"Help... is there anyone here? Help us!"

This time, he clearly heard the call for help.

A thought came to his mind, could it be that Mr. Na Luo did not go down the mountain, but was killed?
He decided to take a look.

He followed the sound, but to his surprise, he saw the tiger before he saw the person calling for help!
The South China tiger is a unique tiger in our country. In later generations, the South China tiger has become extinct in the wild. In fact, it has begun to decrease in the wild at this moment. Gao Mingcheng has been running in the mountains for so long, and only now knows the depth of the mountains. There is also a tiger.

The South China tiger has a round head, short ears, thick and powerful limbs, a long tail, more milky white on the chest and abdomen, and orange-yellow body covered with black horizontal stripes.However, it is the smaller of the subspecies of tigers, so even if the tiger is male, it does not look particularly mighty.

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 wound on the ear, its body was also covered with fine wounds, which were caused by the shotgun, but because the steel balls in it missed the hit, only the scattered iron sand left shallow wounds on the tiger's body.

It is entrenched under a locust tree, staring at a cave not far away.

The entrance of the cave was blocked by 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 the tiger and those people in the cave, but he knew that if he could keep the tiger, he should keep it.

Although it will still become extinct in the wild later, at least it will not die in his hands.

However, how could he let the tiger go, but at the same time release the man hiding in the cave?
If there is a tranquilizer gun, then he can shoot the tiger to anesthetize it, then he can treat its wounds and move it to another safe place.

But in the hands of Gao Mingcheng, it is impossible to have such a thing as an anesthesia gun!

After thinking hard for a long time, Gao Mingcheng saw that the tiger entrenched under the locust tree stood up. It walked to the edge of the cave, but did not appear in front of the reserved small hole. This is the experience it has gained. There, the people inside have a way to hurt it.

It stood at the very edge, hiding in the blind spot of those people in the cave, and let out a low growl towards the cave!
The roar of the ferocious beast was extremely deterrent, and the cave was instantly quiet, not daring to make the slightest sound.

At this time, after the tiger finished threatening, he left quickly!
It is hungry, so it wants to find prey to eat.

But it also had some tricks, it didn't leave directly, but threatened with a low growl, and then left quietly, so the people hiding in the cave would not know that the tiger had actually left, so they dared not come out rashly.

Gao Mingcheng watched the tiger leave and heaved a sigh of relief.

If the tiger doesn't leave, he really can't save people without killing the tiger.

But Gao Mingcheng didn't intend to show up. He picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the cave's reserved opening.

With a bang, the stone fell to the ground, scaring the people inside to make horrified sounds.

But soon, the people inside learned that someone was outside!

Someone is here to save them!
"Who is the person outside? Has the tiger gone away?" Someone in the cave shouted loudly.

Gao Mingcheng squeezed his voice and said, "The tiger is gone, come out quickly."

His voice was different from yesterday, it was rough and gloomy yesterday, but now it was a bit unmasculine, as if he was imitating the eunuch's speech.

Soon, someone came out to look around, but he didn't see the tiger, nor did he see who was talking to them.

"Why are you standing still! Move the stone quickly!" Mr. Luo's voice sounded, and then the stones blocking the entrance of the cave were taken down bit by bit.

Soon, Mr. Luo, holding a revolver, came out first, but as soon as 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 them was seriously injured and was carried by another person.

Mr. Luo gave them a disgusted look, and said, "Since the tiger is gone, let's go separately, you two don't follow us!"

If it weren't for these two scourges, he wouldn't have suffered such a big crime!

"That tiger has been chasing us since last night. It may be hungry to leave at this time. Let's take advantage of it to hunt and eat, so hurry up!" said the boss of the Ma family.

"Well, hurry up!" After being blocked by the tiger for most of the night and most of the day, Mr. Luo also wanted to leave this ghost place quickly, and immediately agreed with the boss of the Ma family.

As for the second son of the Ma family, he hugged the injured hound, comforted the hound not to make a sound, and the group walked quickly towards the direction down the mountain.

A hound has four legs. If one leg is injured, it can still walk with the other three legs, but it is a little lame and slow.

In order not to be dragged down by the hunting dog, the second son of the Ma family kept holding the hunting dog.
