Chapter 209: Dead, Revenge
This scene stunned everyone outside the cave for a moment. It was Song Zhi and Lin Suiye who reacted first and hurriedly handed water to Si Ran.
Song Zhi asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Ran's face was pale, and he looked at Song Zhi in disbelief: "There's a dead person in there."
The White Tiger killed someone.
When he was in the circus, Solo almost brutally bit the circus owner to death, but now it was different. The guy inside could hardly see his face, his clothes were tattered, and not only was there blood all over the floor, but his internal organs were also exposed.
The white tiger did not eat him, but did so as if to vent its anger.
Si Ran swallowed and looked at Bai Hu: "Bai Hu, what is your connection with the man you killed?"
Si Ran drank a few sips of water, his eyes deep, "Or is there any connection between this person and your wife, the other white tiger?"
She remembered what the antelope had said before, that there was a trap in the territory near the white tiger. A female white tiger had once fallen into it, died, and was taken away by humans.
The chance of seeing a white tiger in the forest is already small, let alone a male and a female white tiger.
Sure enough, Baihu's ice-blue eyes emitted a faint light, and he slowly paced beside Si Ran.
"A human set a trap and killed my wife. I just went down the mountain and bit the man to death."
After saying that, the white tiger had already walked in front of Si Ran. Its huge body made Si Ran look very small.
However, the ferocious white tiger gently nudged Si Ran's hand with its head and said, "Those villagers down the mountain always come into my territory and disturb us. Not long ago, my wife fell into a trap. When I heard an animal alert me, I realized that the villagers had taken my wife down the mountain."
"I followed the scent and when I arrived, I saw the man skinning my wife and taking out her internal organs piece by piece. I was just giving her back in kind."
Si Ran's heart skipped a beat when he saw Bai Hu's feet: "What about your feet?"
"Humans are so vengeful. When someone goes missing, they naturally want to find them. So they lured me out and set a trap so that my leg fell into it. They teamed up to kill me, but I managed to escape."
It’s a pity that his leg is broken and he may not even live beyond tomorrow.
A series of events finally seemed to be connected by a thread.
Humans killed the tigress, so the male tiger went to seek revenge, and was then retaliated by humans.
Si Ran took a deep breath and then exhaled white smoke from his mouth.
Si Ran couldn't feel any sympathy for the dead.
In order to get the high price of animal skins, people always do things that they know are wrong. It's just like what Baihu said, it's just tit for tat.
"White Tiger, can you please take your cub out?"
Baihu understood that such a delicate and soft human must be afraid of the bloody scene, so he said nothing and turned back to his cave.
A scrawny little cub was taken out.
The white tiger put its cub on the ground. The cub was so hungry that it was unconscious and had difficulty even standing up.
Seeing this situation, Si Ran knew that relying solely on goat milk powder to save his life was completely useless.
Fortunately, he brought a lot of medicines with him before coming. Si Ran rummaged through his backpack again, took out the injection, then pinched the back of Baihu's neck and injected the needle quickly, accurately and fiercely.
Not sure if it was in pain, the white tiger cub struggled a little, but because it was so hungry, after struggling a few times it lay on the ground as if accepting its fate.
Si Ran then fed it a small amount of goat milk powder.
Although the white tiger cub no longer had the strength to suck the nipple of the bottle, its will to survive was very strong, and it gulped down most of the bottle.
Sure enough, after drinking the milk, the cub felt that he could walk a little more steadily, and he actually stumbled over to his father and lay down next to him.
There was suddenly a look of relief in Baihu's eyes.
Si Ran: "Bai Hu, your legs also need treatment, and your cub will need milk in the future. I can take you down the mountain for treatment."
Baihu subconsciously wanted to refuse.
In its view, its own territory is the safest.
"If you kill someone now, humans will come looking for you soon. Besides, you are injured now and there are traps everywhere. Where can you run to?"
Baihu's eyes relaxed a little.
Si Ran added fuel to the fire and said, "Do you want your cub to flee with you? I can save it for two days today, but after that, you should know that I can't always be here."
Baihu's eyes dimmed slightly.
When Si Ran finished saying this, an evil idea suddenly came to its mind.
Wouldn't it be better for it to keep humans in captivity and feed its cubs milk every day?
However, the IQ of animals is obviously not very high. The little thoughts of the white tiger who thinks he is smart are seen through by Si Ran.
Si Ran couldn't help but chuckle twice: "Bai Hu, do you want to keep me trapped here forever?"
Baihu's eyes were instantly shocked.
It clearly didn't say anything, so how did humans know?
Si Ran: "Don't think about it, all your thoughts are written on your face."
After a pause, Si Ran's tone became much more serious: "Bai Hu, I'm not kidding you. You and the white tiger cub must go down the mountain and go to a human wildlife rescue station for treatment. The medicine in my bag is limited, and it can only last until tomorrow at best."
White Tiger: "But what if humans harm my cubs?"
Si Ran could see that Baihu didn't trust humans at all.
Its wife was killed by humans, and when it went down the mountain, it saw with its own eyes that her tendons were pulled out and her skin was peeled off.
In the eyes of humans, tigers and lions are very cruel animals that like to torture people bit by bit and then bite them to death.
This is undeniable.
But most of the time, as long as people don't seek death and live within their own land totem, they will know how high the risk is.
After all, some idiots use sticks to poke a horse's butt, and after being kicked away, they say the horse is crazy.
She doesn't say who the idiot is.
"Baihu, I promise you, no one in the rescue station can hurt you and your son."
Baihu was very hesitant.
But Si Ran's words, her breath, her gaze, reality naturally had a certain attraction, and Baihu could not refuse Si Ran's words at all.
However, just as the white tiger was about to speak, it suddenly smelled the presence of a stranger in its territory.
It quickly protected Si Ran behind it and yelled at several men in military green coats who suddenly rushed up.
"Hohoho, get out!"
Si Ran and everyone else heard the sound and subconsciously turned their heads.
There were about six people coming, wearing army green cotton hats, breathing white air from their mouths, holding hunting rifles in their hands, and staring at the white tiger with a fierce look.
Si Ran frowned.
But soon, Si Ran walked forward and looked the group up and down.
Si Ran felt somewhat familiar with one of them. He was Brother Zhang, the owner of the store where they bought supplies at the foot of the mountain.
"Brother Zhang, what are you doing with so many people?" Si Ran's eyes swept over everyone's guns. They were all old items from decades ago, with very large caliber. The one-meter-two-high earthen guns gave off bursts of chills.
Si Ran had a smile on his face, but with his hands behind his back, he made a gesture to Baihu to hurry up.
The other members of the wildlife protection team also saw it, and even Brother Li and Lao Qi stood in a row tacitly to block the gazes of the villagers who came over.
The white tiger hesitated for two seconds, looked at the wildlife protection team and the people from the Forestry Bureau standing in a row, and finally crouched down, holding the cub in its mouth, and ran away limping quickly.
"Brother Zhang, what should we do? The white tiger ran away!"
Brother Zhang frowned, feeling a little panicked.
He didn't expect that when he went up the mountain to seek revenge, he would actually meet Lao Qi and Brother Li.
Although the two of them are from the Forestry Bureau, they have been working to rescue animals.
And... they have guns in their hands.
Sure enough, after looking at everyone's guns, Brother Li couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? When we checked them out two years ago, we asked you to hand in your guns, but you all said they were gone long ago. What's going on with these homemade guns now?"
"I……"
Lao Zhang is in the wrong.
But looking at the white tiger's back, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Li, I know you are a good person, but I must kill this white tiger because he came down the mountain and took my brother away! Now my brother's life or death is uncertain!"
Brother Li: "Why didn't you call the police when someone was missing? Instead, you went up the mountain yourself?"
Lao Zhang stopped talking for a moment.
After the man was kidnapped by the tiger, they still dare not call the police because there are too many animal skins at home. Once they are discovered, the secret of their brother being taken away will be made public.
Old Zhang's fingers carefully touched the slightly rough texture on the gun. Although the weather was below zero, his forehead was hot and sweat kept coming out.
Brother Li narrowed his eyes. He could guess a little about the conversation between Si Ran and Bai Hu.
Therefore, his face turned sour towards Lao Zhang instantly, and he asked, "White Tiger was living well in his own territory, why did he suddenly come down the mountain?"
Then, Brother Li narrowed his eyes and said, "You weren't the one who injured Baihu, were you?"
"Li, Brother Li."
Seeing Old Zhang like this, Brother Li was furious: "It really is you! Do you know that setting traps for hunting is illegal? Every year we go door to door to emphasize that we can't hunt like the old generation did, why don't you listen!"
Brother Li suddenly felt a little worried.
The Qinling Mountains are the dragon vein of China, with a complex wildlife population. In the past, people in the village relied on hunting for a living. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the laws and regulations were gradually formulated to be stricter, forcing the villagers living at the foot of the Qinling Mountains to find other ways to make a living and open scenic spots.
But I didn’t expect that after so many years, the villagers are still hunting!
Lao Zhang and the other villagers were unable to say a word when questioned by Brother Li.
Si Ran also said, "Brother Zhang, there's still a chance to turn back. You should know how serious a crime it is for a citizen to privately shoot wild animals and hide a gun. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your son. I only saw him at the canteen, and your child is only a tiny child."
Sure enough, Lao Zhang was moved.
After whispering a few words to an older man who looked somewhat similar, Lao Zhang said, "We're hunting the White Tiger to find our brother. We don't usually hunt. As for these guns... they're rare items left by the older generation. I... we don't usually use them."
The members of the wildlife protection team were almost laughing out of anger.
Ji Zhishi even rolled his eyes, but Si Ran didn't say anything, and they wouldn't speak at this critical moment.
After all, the distance was so close, and only Song Zhi, Brother Li and Lao Qi had guns, so they had no chance of winning if a real fight broke out.
Seeing that everyone had relaxed, Si Ran said, "The person you are looking for is inside the cave."
When these words were spoken, the villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Old Zhang and the slightly older man looked at each other and walked in quickly.
Half a minute later, a heart-wrenching sound came from inside.
The older man rushed out and stood on a rock, holding a gun. He aimed at the almost disappearing White Tiger and shot without hesitation: "I will definitely kill you!"
After that, there were two bangs.
It was too late for Si Ran to stop it.
