“Right? What’s right?” The second uncle was very confused at the moment. Cigarettes and alcohol were very common things for old people like them.

Take Ma Lengzi’s mother for example. Her husband died early and she became a widow, lonely and helpless. She had no way to vent her sorrow, so she started smoking to numb herself.

Nicotine can be addictive, but it can also make people feel high and relieve pain.

Ma Lengzi’s mother is an old smoker. It’s no secret that almost every old person in the west end of this wooden house village knows it.

But how is this right? And what is right about it?
“It’s nothing, Uncle, you can go home.” Shen Xing did not explain.

For some things, the fewer people who know about them, the better, and he didn’t want to involve his second uncle.

He always felt that the kidnapping of Scar Tiger’s daughter was not as simple as he imagined.

After all, the Siberian tiger is a national first-class protected wild animal. After so many years of publicity on the Wildlife Protection Law, no villagers in their wooden house village dared to take these rare animals.

Of course, human nature is unpredictable. Some people will take risks for the sake of profit and illegally hunt rare wild animals.

For example, this criminal who kidnapped the little tigress.

But Shen Xing currently doesn’t know who the criminal is.

“Now that Ma Lengzi’s mother is dead, the clues to the cigarettes are gone, but the clues to the alcohol are still there…”

Shen Xing plans to go to Changtai Village to find out what is going on.

Firstly, if there were any clues, he could follow them and find Scar Tiger’s cub, which would be a good deed.

Secondly, once Scarface’s cub is found, it will no longer come down the mountain to attack people in the village. This will indirectly protect all the villagers in the small mountain villages around Changbai Mountain and eliminate the risk of tiger invasion.

Kill two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds!

Therefore, Shen Xing must visit Changtai Village today!
“Old Li is still in the hospital. His son Li Shuzi might know something…”

Scar Tiger attacked Old Li from Changtai Village because of the smell of alcohol. This means that the smell of alcohol on the criminal who kidnapped the little tigress was very similar to that of Old Li.

Besides, as the second uncle just said, Old Li doesn’t like to drink the wine on the market, but prefers to brew his own sorghum wine.

Then this sorghum wine is important information. As long as we find out who Old Li gave the homemade sorghum wine to, we can find the real culprit who kidnapped the little tigress!
Shen Xing had this reasoning for a very simple reason. If Scar Tiger had really found the little tigress at Old Li’s house, he would not have come to Muwu Village to look for Ma Lengzi’s mother.

Old Li probably has nothing to do with this tiger dealer, but his wine is related to this tiger dealer!

“Second Uncle, go back and take good care of the house. Don’t wander around the village during this period of time.” Shen Xing reminded him.

Although Scar Tiger was chased away by his father, his daughter has not been found yet. There is still a possibility that he will come down the mountain and attack people!

“Oh, okay, okay.” The second uncle reacted and nodded blankly.

“Xiaoxing, you too. That beast might come down the mountain to take revenge.” The second uncle frowned, looking worried.

He was also afraid that the scarred man would come down the mountain again.

“It’s okay. Don’t worry, Tiger Dad is here.” Shen Xing said with a smile.

He was secretly surprised in his heart. It seemed that the matter of Scar Tiger losing his daughter had to be dealt with quickly. It was causing a lot of trouble in the whole village and making people panic.

drop—-

Just then, the familiar electronic sound rang out again.

“Huh? Mission accomplished?” Shen Xing suddenly realized that he currently had a random task to help Tiger Dad clear the blame.

[Random task released: “The Kindness of the Animal Master”: Help Scar Tiger find his cub and reunite his father and daughter]

【Complete the mission and get rich rewards! 】

[Tip: This task has a chance to trigger a companion task! ]

……

After hearing the system’s prompt, Shen Xing was very surprised.

“Instead of completing the previous task, a new task comes?”

What surprised Shen Xing even more was that this time the reward was actually hidden, and there was a certain chance of triggering a companion quest.

He knew the nature of the system clearly. The so-called “chance of triggering” meant it would be triggered 100% of the time!

“It looks like there are two tasks, which means there are two rewards…”

Shen Xing estimated.

“It seems that the case of Scar Tiger’s tiger cub being kidnapped is not a simple one…”

Shen Xing touched his chin and made his own judgment.

“received.”

He is short of money to build a house now, so the more tasks like this the better. Brother Tongzi is very generous!

The second uncle left the intelligence center at the entrance of the village and went back home with his grandson.

In addition to the second uncle, several other villagers from the west end of the village also peeked over the wall, but when they saw Tiger Dad under the old osmanthus tree, they became frightened and dared not show their heads, and closed the gate of the yard tightly.

Shen Xing sat down on the stone bench under the old osmanthus tree. There was a chessboard on the stone table above. There was an unfinished game on it. It was obvious that Scar Tiger had arrived, and the old man playing chess ran away.

Shen Xing was playing chess out of boredom, fighting with his left and right hands, quietly waiting for Tiger Dad to finish eating the big pig’s head and replenish his consumed energy.

We played chess like this for a few minutes.

“General!”

The red rook ate up the black cannon, and the general had no way to escape, so he was eaten in one bite.

drop by drop…

The cell phone in my trouser pocket just started ringing.

Shen Xing unlocked the screen and saw that it was a WeChat voice message from the young policewoman Jiang Shan.

“Shen Xing, are you okay? I heard that you went to deal with the tiger. Are you okay?”

In the voice message, the young policewoman said worriedly.

Shen Xing clicked on the second voice message.
“I heard from the director that someone from the provincial tiger and leopard bureau has come to your village to investigate the Siberian tiger bite. You should be careful and have Xiaotian and Xiaomei hide well so they don’t find you.”

“You must hide well. If they find you, it will be very serious!”

……

“Tiger and Leopard Bureau?”

Shen Xing was a little surprised.

They have land in the three northeastern provinces, and they have this unit?
A management unit specifically for the Siberian tiger and the Far Eastern leopard?
Although Shen Xing is from Northeast China, this is the first time he has heard of this administrative unit.

He opened Baidu Encyclopedia and typed in the three words “Tiger and Leopard Bureau”.

The Baidu entry popped up quickly.

The “Tiger and Leopard Bureau”, whose full name is “Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park Administration”, was established in 2017 and is directly under the jurisdiction of Zhongyang. It is piloted in the southern part of Laoyeling at the junction of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, with a total area of ​​146.12 million hectares.

To put it bluntly, the country established the “Tiger and Leopard Bureau” to better protect the rare wild animals in the Changbai Mountain and Xing’an Mountains.

“Tiger and Leopard Bureau” does not only refer to the protection of Siberian tigers and Far Eastern leopards, but is a unified name. Other rare animals such as sika deer, sable, musk deer, golden eagle, Chinese merganser, red-crowned crane, and red deer are also protected by the bureau.

“From the province, it should be the Hunchun Bureau…”

The Tiger and Leopard Bureau has ten branches, each in charge of a designated area. The Tiger and Leopard Bureau closest to Shen Xing is the Hunchun Bureau.

“Forget it, it should be about the same as the public police station…”

Shen Xing didn’t care much. The two tiger cubs, Xiaotian and Xiaomei, stayed at home. The fat lynx and the blind bear protected them, and no one dared to attack them.

Shen Xing arranged the chessboard and planned to play another game. The pig head was a bit big, including the bones, it must be at least several dozen kilograms. Tiger Dad couldn’t eat it all at once, so he had to wait a little longer.

Shen Xing was not in a hurry either. According to his judgment, Li Shuzi should have escaped back to Changtai Village.

He brought villagers to extort money from his father when his father was lying in the hospital. He doesn’t look like a filial son who would just take care of his father in the hospital.

“It’s his cousin Ma Lengzi…”

In the Ma family’s yard, Ma Lengzi was still kneeling in front of his mother and crying loudly.

Shen Xing couldn’t help but shook his head when he saw this scene.

When Ding Jia stole the wild boar king’s cubs, Shen Xing guessed that the old lady would definitely meet with this disaster in the future. Unexpectedly… it would come so soon!

If you don’t respect the wild animals in the mountains, the wild animals will naturally not respect you. Now that they have lost their lives, there is nothing to say.

Of course, the lilac flowers that sheltered Ding Jia were also birds of a feather and were naturally affected by the tiger disaster.

Shen Xing withdrew his gaze from the Ma family yard.
Although Ma Lengzi is a bad person, his filial piety is the only bright spot in his humanity.

After all, Ding Jia was not his biological mother, but just his mother-in-law.

His mother-in-law died tragically, and he cried so miserably, so he can be considered a filial son in some way.

“I wonder how Sister Yan Hong is doing…”

Shen Xing was playing with a chess piece, his right hand resting on the stone table, his palm supporting his chin, his thoughts drifting back to many, many years ago.

At that time, he was still a young boy, in the third or fourth grade of elementary school. After school, he would often hold a wooden sword specially made for him by his grandfather and chop at the flowers and plants on the road.
“Hey, monster, take my sword!”

The boy always fantasized that flowers and plants were demons that brought disaster to the world, and that he was a peerless hero who saved the world.

The wooden sword rang loudly, and with one strike of the sword, boundless sword energy killed those “demons”.

Every time this happened, I would always meet a pretty girl with a ponytail on the road, who would clap her hands in cooperation.
“Ah, Xiaoxing is so awesome!”

“The big monster was chopped to death. How awesome!”

The girl praised from the bottom of her heart, her words were sincere, her face was smiling like a flower, and her beautiful eyebrows were curved like crescent moons.

The young man Shen Xing was embarrassed and called out sweetly, “Sister Yan Hong.”

“Mr. Shen, you killed the monster and saved the world. Here, I reward you with a lollipop.”

The ponytail girl smiled and handed over an orange-flavored lollipop, cooperating with him in the performance.

The young boy Shen Xing took it with a smile and peeled off the candy wrapper.

Oh wow, what a sweet lollipop.

Then, the ponytail girl would always pat the bicycle seat and say, “Xiaoxing, sit on it. I’ll take you home.”

“Sure!”

At that time, Sister Yan Hong was already in the second grade of junior high school and had a bicycle that he envied very much.

The young boy Shen Xing sat in the back seat of the car, hugged Sister Yan Hong around the waist, and smelled the faint girlish body fragrance on her, which was fragrant like purple lavender.

He raised his head slightly, and his ponytail was swaying…

“Comrade, please tell me, do you know how to get to Ma Lengzi’s house?”

A soft shout woke Shen Xing up from his trance.

He heard the voice and turned his head slightly. A special vehicle was slowly approaching from the intelligence center at the west end of the village. The driver stuck his head out from the passenger seat and asked Shen Xing for directions.

Tiger Dad’s figure was blocked by the huge old osmanthus tree. In addition, the driver was facing the sun, so for a moment, he did not notice the giant tiger under the shade of the tree.

Shen Xing looked through the window of the special vehicle and saw several men sitting inside, armed with shotguns.

I guessed instantly that this was the Tiger and Leopard Bureau from the province that the young policewoman mentioned.

“That’s it.”

Shen Xing pointed to the first house to the north of the old osmanthus tree. That yard was Ma Lengzi’s house.

“Okay comrade, thank you.” The driver said with a smile.

His eyes moved from Shen Xing to Ma Lengzi’s yard.

suddenly!

His expression changed drastically!
The driver opened his eyes wide, and he saw a giant tiger suddenly raise its head and lick its paws with its tongue. There was still blood on the paws and mouth.

The smell of blood is strong and terrifying!
“tiger!”

“There’s a tiger!”

“The man-eating tiger is just ahead!”

The driver screamed, opened the car door, and jumped out with a shotgun in his hand.

Behind him, four or five hunters also jumped off the special vehicle, each holding a shotgun in their hands!
The shotgun was loaded and evidently loaded with bullets!

Shen Xing looked at these people with a little surprise. Didn’t they say that people from the Tiger and Leopard Bureau always advocated protecting wild animals?

How…it seems like these people are here to kill the Siberian tiger?

However, maybe Shen Xing was overthinking it. These people might not be here to kill the Siberian tigers, but to protect the villagers and drive the Siberian tigers out of the village.

This is also possible!
After all, the Siberian tiger is huge, wild and ferocious, so if you want to drive it away, you can only use a gun!
“Hey, there’s also a tranquilizer gun?”

Only then did Shen Xing see clearly the guns the men were holding. In addition to the hunting rifle, there were also two tranquilizer guns.

The anesthetic gun is very effective against wild animals. Once the wild animals in the mountains are shot, the drug will take effect and they will be paralyzed and fall asleep.

A paralyzed beast is not very dangerous.

The tranquilizer gun not only protects wild animals, but also protects the gun holder and local villagers. It is very practical.

“Comrade, run quickly, there is a tiger there!” the driver shouted, asking Shen Xing to quickly leave the old osmanthus tree.

“Oh no! That Siberian tiger has discovered us!”

“Quencher gun, ready!”

The driver, who was obviously the captain of this team, saw Tiger Dad looking up. In order to save Shen Xing, he waved his hand and prepared to let his teammates behind him fire the tranquilizer gun.

“Send…” the driver began, and was about to wave his hand down.

Before they could even utter the word “shoot”, Shen Xing stood in front of them.

“and many more!”

“Don’t shoot!”

“It’s not the Siberian tiger that bit people!”

Shen Xing quickly explained.

“Comrade, what are you talking about? We received a report that a tiger broke into Muwu Village and ate people. Look, the tiger’s mouth is full of blood. It was the one that ate people!” The driver shouted with a pale face.

Even though he had extensive training experience, he was a little nervous when he came into close contact with a wild giant Siberian tiger weighing more than 600 kilograms. Sweat broke out on his hands holding the gun.

“That’s not human blood, that’s pig blood. It was just gnawing on the pig’s head.”

“Besides, it’s not the scarred tiger that eats people.”

“I raised Tiger Dad.” (End of this chapter)
