"Okay." Liang Zhenhui knew that Zhang Shaofei never did anything uncertain, so he answered and ran towards his house. In less than half a pack of cigarettes, he returned to Zhang Shaofei with the big hunting dog Awang in his arms.
Zhang Shaofei became very familiar with the hunting dog A Wang. He took the hunting dog from Liang Zhenhui's hand, gently stroked its smooth fur, and murmured: "A Wang, I need your help this time."
The hunting dog raised its head and looked at Zhang Shaofei meekly.
Not long after, Zhong Hanwei and Asheng arrived at the scene each holding a tiger cub.
The fur of the two little tiger cubs is bright yellow, their claws are still short, and their eyes can only be opened, just waiting for feeding. When they saw the tiger mother standing over there, they screamed loudly like a reflex.
This call is serious!
The tigress saw her children falling into people's hands and thought that people were going to hurt them. Her maternal nature drove her to struggle desperately and roar wildly. The sound was like rolling thunder, shaking the heaven and the earth. Its right hind leg was firmly clamped by the iron clamp, but its two forelimbs could still move freely. It extended its forelimbs and clawed at the ground with its sharp claws. The dirt on the ground was caught and splashed in all directions.
As a result, the villagers who were close to the tigress were so frightened that they panicked and ran away, far away.
Facing this situation, Zhang Shaofei remained calm and asked Liang Zhenhui to press the hunting dog Awang to the ground about seven or eight feet away from the tigress. He personally took the two tiger cubs and placed them next to A-Wang.
The two tiger cubs had been without milk for most of the day, and were feeling very uncomfortable with hunger. Now that I saw the pink nipple with the scent of milk right in front of me, regardless of whether it was my mother's nipple, I stretched my neck, took the bitch's swollen nipple in my mouth, sucked hard, and sucked hard. , "Squeak, squeak" to eat milk.
This scene made the surrounding villagers stunned.
After a struggle, the tigress's wound became more painful. She knew that she was in jail and could do nothing. She stared at Zhang Shaofei's every move and saw her newborn children eating dog milk with relish. Not only did Zhang Shaofei and the others not By hurting them, he was so kind to them. He stopped struggling and roaring in vain, calmed down, became well-behaved, and looked at Zhang Shaofei with grateful eyes.
Zhang Shaofei saw that the two tiger cubs were full of dog milk, so he picked them up with both hands, held them in his arms, and played with them in front of the tigress.
The well-fed tiger cub shook its head proudly towards Zhang Shaofei and waggled its tail, looking very lively and cute.
After Zhang Shaofei played with the tiger cubs for a while, he told Zhong Hanwei: "You can put them back into the tiger den over there."
"Okay." After Zhong Hanwei responded, he and Asheng took the tiger cub from Zhang Shaofei's arms and went straight to the pit of the tiger's den.
Strangely enough, when the tigress saw people taking her children away from her, she did not become restless or roar this time, as if she knew people would not harm her children.
The setting sun has sunk from the Western Mountains, and the vast dusk is floating on the cloudy mountains. The birds returning to their nests in the forest gradually became quieter, and the smoke from the surrounding farmhouses also diminished.
Zhong Hanqiang pointed to the tigress that had become slightly more 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. You can only educate it slowly. Now that the fire has not come, let's let time kill its evil deeds. Now it is still full of evil, and we can only play hard to get. This move."
Zhong Hanqiang: "Play hard to get?"
Zhang Shaofei nodded: "Well, the nature of a tiger is animal nature. It has no humanity, but it also has spirituality. It will only recognize food that can sustain its life, so let's let it suffer more first, so that it can be in despair and helplessness. Let’s concoct it again.”
When Zhong Hanqiang heard what Zhang Shaofei said, he immediately understood the meaning: "Do you want to starve it for a few days first?"
"Not bad!" Zhang Shaofei nodded, "We don't need to pay attention to it anymore tonight. Let it starve for a while, and then we will take care of it."
Zhong Hanqiang said to Zhang Shaofei with admiration: "Well, I believe you always think of more solutions than we think."
Zhang Shaofei waved his hand outward and signaled: "It's getting late, let's go home first. Let the tiger spend the night here."
Zhong Hanqiang: "Okay."
Seeing that it was getting late, the people in the four villages dispersed in twos and threes. As they walked, they discussed the strange things that had happened this afternoon.
The night fell heavily, and in the lively place only now, only the tigress trapped in the trap was standing alone in the dark mountain for the night.
The night in Yunwu Mountain has returned to the normal state of the past. Under the blowing of the mountain breeze, frogs and grass insects have been singing softly all night long.
The next afternoon, Zhang Shaofei, Liang Futian, and Liang Zhenhui came to the tigress holding the hunting dog Awang as they did yesterday.
Liang Futian and Liang Zhenhui took the two tiger cubs out of the tiger's den and fed them dog milk again in front of the tigress.
This tigress was trapped in the trap for the first time. She struggled and roared desperately when she was caught in the trap, which consumed a lot of energy. In broad daylight, exposed to an unobstructed place and exposed to the scorching sun in the sky, my whole body was hot and sweaty. At night, the mountain breeze is chilly, shooting into the tigress's body like a cold arrow from her pores, making her shiver constantly.
In this way, for several days, the tigress had nothing to eat and no water to drink. Her originally bulging belly was deeply sunk, and her thick ribs were exposed under the colorful tiger skin.
This ferocious tiger, which had always dominated the mountains and rivers, was so weak from hunger that its whole body was weak and limp.
These days, the attentive Zhang Shaofei was observing the tigress's expression while doing it.
The eyes are the windows of the soul. Zhang Shaofei discovered that the ferocious light and murderous intent in the tigress's green eyes had disappeared, revealing a strong desire to survive. He knew that this move had already yielded initial results.
The next day, Zhang Shaofei took half of his meal from home, filled it in a basin, and came to the almost dying tiger.
At first, Zhang Shaofei did not dare to approach the tigress. He just used a wooden stick to slowly push the basin containing food in front of the tigress.
There is a saying that when you are hungry, you will not choose what to eat. The tigress smelled the fragrant food right in front of her, lowered her head and started to devour it. Finally, she used her wide red tongue to lick up the remaining juice on the bottom of her pelvic floor.
For several days, Zhang Shaofei followed the same method to control this tigress. When he realized that the tigress had no ill intentions towards him, Zhang Shaofei bravely walked closer to it, gently stroked its fur, caught lice for it, and then stroked its forelimbs. Seeing that it would not Use the tiger's claws to attack people, and finally walk up to the tigress, touch her forehead in a friendly manner, and communicate silently with her through practical actions.
Faith will move mountains to open. As the days passed, under the influence of Zhang Shaofei's sincerity, the tigress became more and more fond of Zhang Shaofei. Her bell-like eyes showed gratitude, and she gently licked Zhang Shaofei's hand with her tongue from time to time. , conveying the message that it and Zhang Shaofei exchanged in their hearts.
Zhong Hanqiang, Zhong Hanwei and some villagers came every day to watch how Zhang Shaofei got along with the tigress. At first, they were a little worried for Zhang Shaofei, but later they saw that things were developing step by step in a good direction, and they were happy for Zhang Shaofei.
The "benevolent man" Zhang Shaofei made the tigress "heartbeat" too, and she and Zhang Shaofei actually became good friends who could play together.
Zhong Hanqiang witnessed the development of the entire incident from beginning to end, and said to Zhang Shaofei with admiration: "A Fei, you are really amazing. Such a ferocious tiger has been tamed so obediently by you."
Zhang Shaofei's words are meaningful: "All things in the world have the same way of getting along with each other. If there is 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 will no longer be a man-eating tiger. The tiger."
Zhong Hanqiang pondered Zhang Shaofei's words and understood something from them: "You make sense. What is your secret weapon?"
Zhang Shaofei pointed to his chest: "If you have a clear mind, everything will be possible. If you act kindly, everything will be possible."
A few days later, seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Shaofei personally untied the animal trap, applied the collected Chinese herbal medicine to the wound on the tigress's right hind leg, and then bandaged it with a strip of cloth.
Having been trapped in a trap for more than half a month, with her own tiger's den so close but unable to return, one can imagine the tigress' joy at being freed and reunited with her growing sons and daughters. It circled around Zhang Shaofei three times, then lay down on its forelimbs, as if kneeling down, and then went back "home" wagging its tail.
From then on, Zhang Shaofei became good friends with the tigress and her two cubs.
Zhang Shaofei also used leaves to make whistles to connect with them in this special way. He often played with them and tamed them.
This tigress is also very sensible and no longer does the evil deeds of killing villagers in Yunwu Mountain. When the surrounding villagers saw the tiger, they would not be frightened out of their wits and run away like before. This is because when the tiger is looking for food, it often goes to distant mountains and forests to catch ferocious animals.
Those evil thieves who once came to Yunwu Mountain to steal chickens and dogs saw big tigers often patrolling around the tiger pit. How could they dare to come and do evil again?
Over time, the name "Tiger Pit" spread further and further, and finally became a fixed place name in people's mouths.
It is not a myth that Zhang Shaofei was able to tame tigers. Someone in the Western Regions had long been able to tame tigers and lions and brought them to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and even took them up and down the thoroughfares. There are eighteen Arhats who protect the Buddha under Sakyamuni. One of them is the Dragon-subduing Arhat Qingyou, who has subdued the demon dragon, and the other is the Tiger-subduing Arhat Venerable Maitreya, who has subdued the tiger.
