Chapter 175: Preparing to Leave
Chu Qiao took advantage of the tiger's inability to react, pressed its upper jaw with his left hand, and stuffed the stick into its mouth with his right hand. The stick instantly stood up, and the tiger's mouth was wide open and could not be closed.
It struggled to bite the stick into pieces, but the stick hit its fragile upper and lower jaws, and it would bleed if it exerted force. The tearing pain made the tiger instantly irritated, and it rushed towards Chu Qiao, waving its claws.
Chu Qiao dodged and teased, "You want to kill me, and I can't resist?"
After saying that, she turned around quickly and dodged the tiger's attack.
"Tear..." There was a sound of brakes.
50 meters away, Lu was driving an off-road vehicle, crushing rows of spiky grass. His white coat was stained and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Chu Qiao looked at Lu Zhan who was about to get out of the car and shouted, "Don't get out of the car. Throw the anesthetic to me."
Lu Zhan loosened his grip on the handle, and in a flash, the tiger used its powerful body to crash into Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao lay down and crawled past the tiger.
"hurry up."
Lu Zhan no longer hesitated, picked up the bag and threw it towards Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao jumped up, caught the army green bag, and took out the anesthetic needle from it.
Lu Zhan made a trumpet-like gesture with his hand and shouted anxiously, "One shot isn't enough. For a guy as big as him, at least three shots are needed."
Chu Qiao's eyes were firm: "Understood."
As she spoke, she took out the syringes that had been filled with anesthetic and clamped the three syringes between her right fingers.
The tiger was obviously afraid of the sharp needle that had injured it, and silently took a small step back.
Chu Qiao approached the tiger, challenging it to keep a safe distance: "Big cat, don't hide."
The tiger's claws swung towards Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao's pupils contracted and he suddenly jumped up. He stepped on the tiger's head with his right foot, used the force to leap onto the tiger's back.
In an instant, three anesthetic needles were inserted into the tiger's body. The tiger shook its body vigorously, and because it could not make any sound, the roar in its mouth turned into a roar coming from its throat.
Chu Qiao held the tiger skin tightly and injected the liquid into its body.
Chu Qiao felt the giant tiger beneath him quiet down and seemed to be losing strength.
"Watch your legs."
Following Lu Zhan's voice, the tiger's body instantly fell over. Chu Qiao jumped into the sharp grass nearby to avoid being crushed by the fallen tiger.
Lu Zhan and Hankla opened the car door and ran over, one on each side trying to help Chu Qiao up: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Chu Qiao waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine. Take the stick out of its mouth first."
Hank said angrily, "If you don't take it, I'm going to kill it. Just wait."
Chu Qiao grabbed Hank and said, "It didn't hurt me, don't do anything rash."
Lu Zhan looked at the young man and said calmly, "This is a South African tiger. There are less than 30,000 of them in the world. Let's leave it to the local police."
Chu Qiao nodded: "Find a safe place to enclose it."
Lu Zhan hesitated to speak.
Chu Qiao tilted his head: "Just say what you want to say, don't hesitate."
Lu Zhan: "It's too dangerous outside, you should sleep at the base."
"No need, I'm used to it. Besides, you guys are all crammed into one tent now, I know the situation." After Chu Qiao finished speaking, Lu Zhan stopped talking.
The two men handed the tiger over to the clan leader Wayne, who contacted the local police station and quickly took the South African tiger away.
The next day, when the villagers looked at Chu Qiao, their eyes lit up.
The villagers were always whispering together in groups of three or four, but as soon as Chu Qiao walked by, they turned their heads as if nothing had happened.
"I heard she defeated a tiger."
"Is this true?"
"Impossible, tiger! Even our strongest men would hide when they see a tiger."
"Hank said so."
"Chief Wayne also said so."
"I saw it yesterday. It was locked in a cage and was carried away."
Naturally, Chu Qiao's sensitive ears could not escape everyone's words. Chu Qiao heard some doubts in these voices, but more of them were envy and awe.
Chu Qiao pretended not to hear and let everyone discuss it, so that they would have something to do and not think about the virus all the time.
Another body was to be buried today. Chu Qiao planned to supervise everyone in cremating the body, so she walked towards the empty cremation site.
Wayne came forward with a few young men from the village and said, "You don't have to come in person. I can supervise."
"Chief, what supervision? We don't need any supervision. We are very self-conscious."
"That's right, that's right."
Chu Qiao opened his mouth slightly and looked at everyone in surprise. Wasn't he so reluctant just a few days ago? How come it suddenly... This turn of events was a bit sudden.
She grabbed Hank, who was covering his mouth and laughing, and whispered, "What's going on?"
"You are a great hero, a great hero who can defeat tigers. It is only natural that everyone listens to you."
Seeing that she was still confused, Hank said, "According to the rules of our village, we have a hunting competition every year. Whoever is the best becomes the chief. Last time, Wayne became the chief after he killed a cheetah."
There was an uproar in the barrage:
"It turns out this village worships heroes."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, Master Chu would have shown you his skills."
"Yes, yes, yes. Master Chu should first knock down the clan leader and see who in the village dares to disobey."
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I really didn't know before. If I had known... it would have been much easier."
Chicken Little: "Master Chu is confident."
"Isn't this conceited, Master Chu?"
"It's a stinky fart."
"Little Chicken gave Chu Qiao a plane - I just like Mr. Chu's energy."
"Chunfenghuayu gave Chu Qiao a tank - no matter what, I'm a fan."
After the joke, Chu Qiao still stubbornly walked to the funeral site, said goodbye with everyone, bowed, and watched everyone burn the body in an orderly manner.
She took a commonly used jar from the deceased's home and handed it to his family, and the villagers put the ashes of the burnt goods into the jar.
Sadness flows through every villager.
Chu Qiao led them to dig a hole on their own land and bury the urn in the ground.
After everyone left, Chu Qiao still stood there, watching the cremated bodies. She bent down deeply, muttering, "I'm sorry, I can't bury you according to your customs."
Lu Zhan's voice came from behind: "This can be considered as another way to become one with nature."
Chu Qiao didn't look back, but looked towards the quarantine area: "Why are you here? Aren't there many new cases?"
Lu Zhan nodded. "Among those who have fever and are in isolation, 80% are infected. They have been arranged for treatment, and the rest are temporarily stable."
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there enough medicine?"
Lu Zhan: "I've already sent it by mail from China, but it seems that the production of a certain Beidou traditional medicine is insufficient, so it hasn't been delivered yet."
Chu Qiao nodded: "Beidou has so many pharmaceutical factories, so the problem is not big."
Lu Zhan: "The tents at the base are not too tight now. Let's go back. It's too unsafe."
Chu Qiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I'm going to go back, leave the rest to you professionals."
Chu Qiao finished speaking and walked towards the base.
