Chapter 372: Observation
On the morning of the seventh day, Yue Feng was basking in the sun with his grandfather in the yard, playing with the two ‘black and white evil spirits’. Xiao Wu pushed open the gate and entered the yard with a serious look on his face.

“Hey, Xiaowu is here! Is your family not busy today? How come you have time to come here?” Yue Feng asked casually while looking at his brother with a smile.

The New Year period is the peak season for playing cards and gambling. Doesn’t Xiaowu’s family always have a card table set up? Except for the time they spent visiting and having dinner together in the past few days, most of their time is spent at home tending to the cards, so Yue Feng asked this question.

“Uncle, Brother Feng, are you busy?
I just heard a piece of news at home that a tiger broke into Kaoshan Village and dragged away the old ox from the village office!
Kaoshantun is organizing people to round up and kill the tiger that is harming people!”

“What the hell? A tiger has entered the village?” When Yue Feng heard the news, he immediately turned his head to look at Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao was quite calm: “From the perspective of location, Kaoshan Village is much closer to the Wild Boar Valley where I was attacked last time! Did anyone see it with their own eyes? “

Xiaowen nodded and said, “I saw it. Old Li, who was in charge of the barn in the village, heard the noise and came out with a flashlight. He was pounced on by the tiger, but his ribs were broken and he had some skin injuries. He managed to survive!”

“I shot that tiger last time, and the bullet hit the left shoulder blade of its front leg!
That was a male tiger. This gunshot wound wouldn’t kill it, but it would definitely affect its success rate in hunting!

If I’m not mistaken, the tiger that entered the village should be the one that injured me before!” Uncle Zhao analyzed.

“What do you think, Brother Feng? Let’s gather our people and get involved. From what you said, Kaoshantun should have reported the incident of the tiger injuring people and stealing cattle!” Xiaowu asked excitedly.

After hearing this, Yue Feng wasn’t too excited.

Yue Feng’s attitude towards tigers has been mentioned before. Although every aspiring hunter has a dream of hunting tigers, Yue Feng, as a human being in two lifetimes, has thought about it more.

The Siberian tiger itself is a relatively rare top predator, and in later generations it was the precious Siberian golden tabby, which was once endangered and almost disappeared in the country.

From this perspective, Yue Feng’s enthusiasm for taking the initiative to fight corruption is not very high.

In addition, tigers are not animals that can be hunted casually. If you want to hunt them legally, you must have the explicit approval of at least the direct supervisor at the municipal level, confirming that there are some relatively bad behaviors.

Moreover, after killing the tiger, its body will be collected and will not fall into the hands of the hunter.

To put it bluntly, responding to the call to join the anti-corruption campaign is a scam that involves huge risks but low returns.

The only benefit that can be obtained is probably a small amount of village bounty, plus a huge increase in fame.

After all, a hunter who has successfully killed a tiger will be looked up to wherever he goes.

But Yue Feng, does he lack this little bit of fame?
It would be better to be famous, but if he is not famous, Yue Feng will keep a normal mind. Steady and solid development is Yue Feng’s core demand.

“Brother Feng! Say something! As long as you nod, I will go and gather people immediately!!” Xiaowen became a little anxious when he saw that Yue Feng didn’t respond.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “This job is not easy. If you listen to me, let’s not rush to get involved!”

“Ah? No!

This is a great opportunity to become famous. If we can beat the tiger back, won’t we be able to walk around proudly in front of the hunters in the surrounding villages?
When I came here, the Zhang and Zhou hunting teams had already started to gather their men and horses and were ready to move!”

Xiaowen still wanted to try again.

“Let them do what they want. We should stop doing things that don’t bring us any real benefits!
Even if our hunting team didn’t kill the tiger, now in the village, no one dares to provoke us!” Yue Feng shook his head again.

“Can……”

When Xiaowen heard that his elder brother wouldn’t let him go, he still wanted to fight for it, but when the words came to his lips he didn’t know what to say.

After a pause of at least five seconds, Xiaowen softened his tone and continued to ask, “Why?”

Yue Feng did not answer directly, but turned his head to look at Uncle Zhao: “Uncle, what do you think?”

Uncle Zhao faced his nephew’s gaze and said calmly, “From my personal perspective, if I have the chance, I will definitely go and avenge Chilong and myself.

But from a third-party perspective, I also think that it’s better not to join in the fun!
According to the time analysis, more than half a month has passed since the tiger attacked me!

Since it dragged away the village’s cow, it must have eaten a lot to replenish its energy!

For ordinary people, non-fatal injuries caused by 7.62mm medium-power bullets will take several months to heal, and the recovery period is very long.

However, the tiger has a pure yang body and its recovery ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people. More than half a month is enough for the wound to heal or even recover initially!
Judging from its actual combat capability from this perspective, it is about 80% of its peak state!
The tiger went up the mountain and could not be contained at all. No matter how powerful the hunting dogs were, they could not get close to it. If they brushed against it, they would die. If they were touched, they would be disabled! My dead hybrid jackal, Red Dragon, just came a little closer to save me, and was slapped by the tiger, and his head was smashed!
If you want to surround and kill this big claw in a big way, you need to mobilize at least dozens or hundreds of people to have a certain chance of winning while ensuring relative safety! ! “

Yue Feng’s ideas are basically the same as Uncle Zhao’s.

If it was an accidental encounter where both sides were unprepared, like the last time when Guo Jianfeng and Big Claw met at Shizigou, if the person holding the gun turned out to be the experienced and calm Uncle Zhao, he might be able to kill the tiger with one shot in the head.

But if a large group of people search the mountain to look for trouble with the tiger, it will be difficult to achieve results when the big claws are already alert and cautious.

The tiger’s movement speed, stealth ability, and sneak attack ability are all at T0 level.

In the absence of dimensionality reduction weapons such as drones and thermal imaging, if it wants to hide from hunters, unless a large number of people are used to surround the ravine and trap the tiger inside, conventional tracking and hunting will be a joke.

Once you enter the deep mountains and forests, it is hard to say who is chasing whom.

Xiaowen: “Well, okay then! Then we won’t go! I was thinking about joining in the fun, but from this point of view, it seems that there is no benefit and the risk is quite high!”

“The fifteenth day of the lunar year hasn’t come yet, so just stay at home and spend the New Year peacefully, and don’t think about beating tigers.

You are well-informed, so stay tuned for follow-up!
If there is any new progress, we will consider it accordingly! If there is a bargain to be made, there is still time for further research!”

Yue Feng didn’t say anything definite, which left Xiaowen with some hope.

“Okay! Then I’ll continue to ask! We’ll talk about it if there’s a chance! If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first!” Xiaowen nodded repeatedly.

“Go back and keep an eye on Xiaowu. That guy is not as steady as you. Don’t sneak up the mountain with a gun!” Yue Feng reminded again.

“OK!”

……

After Xiaowen left, only Uncle Zhao and Yue Feng were left in the yard.

“Do you have any ideas?” Uncle Zhao looked into Yue Feng’s eyes and asked in a very affirmative tone.

Yue Feng scratched his head subconsciously and grinned: “Hehe, my little trick still can’t escape your eyes!
I myself don’t care much about this big claw, otherwise, the first time I encountered a tiger in Shizigou, I would have gathered people to give it a try the next day!
But now it has hurt you and destroyed our family’s jackal gang. If I have the chance, I would like to try to avenge it!
But I can tell you this, but I can’t tell Xiaowen right away.

These brothers are too competitive and have no experience in facing a tiger. If something unexpected happens, I won’t be able to explain to my family! !
And to put it bluntly, working for the government is a thankless job in itself. Even if we have an idea, we have to do it secretly without anyone noticing!
Following the large army to fight tigers might end up in a mess. It is not worth taking such a big risk for a little fame!
If we have a chance, we’d better sneak into the village without firing a gun! ! “

After listening to Yue Feng’s true thoughts, Uncle Zhao nodded in approval: “Your mentality is right! I have also become more open-minded during this period of recuperation.

If there is a chance to avenge Chilong, then do it. If there is no chance, then there is no need to force it!

The whole body of the tiger is full of treasures. If there are any leaks, you can pick them up. If you beat the tiger back, you can secretly deal with it. I believe you must have your own safe channels!”

Yue Feng is not a saint. He will definitely weigh the pros and cons before doing anything. If he can reap huge profits without taking any risks, he will definitely not be soft-hearted.

After all, it is a fact that the tiger injured people and damaged public and private property. Legally, it is not protected. It’s just that the idea of ​​secretly taking it for oneself is a bit over the line.

A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

After reaching a preliminary consensus with Uncle Zhao, Yue Feng no longer cared about the matter. Kaoshantun was a large village, and if they wanted to hunt the tiger, they would definitely be able to call on a lot of people to quietly wait for follow-up news and just recuperate at home.

……

On the other side, Zhu Erhai, who had been silent for a long time, immediately became eager to take action after hearing from his uncle that Kaoshantun had organized people to go into the mountains to hunt tigers.

Last time, he took the dog team to the mountains to hunt wild boars. Because of the dog eating meat, Zhu Erhai and Wang Xiaonian’s cousin Wang Junqiang fell out, which made Wang Xiaonian very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. After that, the interaction between Crouching Dragon and Phoenix was obviously much less.

The mature dog gang’s hunting gains in the mountains were greatly reduced because they had lost their tough gang. Zhu Erhai took the dogs up the mountain several more times, but the gains were minimal and several dogs were injured.

During this period, his external injuries have healed. Taking advantage of the opportunity of playing cards with the little fox during the New Year, Zhu Erhai used the dividends from gambling to buy a No. 16 barreled gun. Now that he has a dog and a gun, Zhu Erhai feels more confident.

Now, the big guys actually entered the village and dragged away the cattle. Zhu Erhai felt that his chance to make a name for himself had come!
