The crowd sang songs, carried the big worms they caught, and walked all the way to the village. Zhou Su helped Liu Huai and walked behind. His leg was broken by a stone, rotting and limping, and his hand was scratched by a large worm, and he didn't know how badly he was injured.

When I arrived at He Daocheng's yard, the whole village of old and young was waiting here. Especially those who have children who have not returned, they are in a hurry. Seeing that the big insect was caught and returned, everyone cheered and gathered around to watch.

He Daocheng said: "This animal is a beast of prey, one is not good, it breaks free from it, and a few people will slip into the belly." It's not early, so I quickly took the child home, and I have my own disposal here. ”

Everyone said yes, each took the child, and slowly dispersed.

He Da pulled the dog's head, walked in front of Liu Huai, and saluted: "If it weren't for my brother today, my father and son would have died in the tiger's mouth." The grace of saving lives is in my heart. In the future, if there is an order, it will be driven away, and there will be no frown. ”

Liu Huai endured the pain and said: "What's the matter, I was ordered by the official to fight the tiger, and I should do my duty!" ”

At this moment, He Daocheng took the medicine in his hand, came over with Chen Shuo, and said to Liu Huai: "There is hot water in the house, you wash the wound and apply some medicine." After a while, I made a slide and carried it back to the town overnight for the military doctor to heal. ”

Hot water was brought in, and He Da's wife stepped forward to clean Liu Huai's wounds.

Liu Huai's hand was hit by a big worm's claw, the flesh and blood were blurred, and he washed it slightly, and He Da's wife was startled with an "ah" sound. The crowd hurriedly stepped forward to look, only to find that Liu Huai's hand had gone to a large piece with flesh and skin, and the two fingers were gone.

Liu Huai endured the pain and said: "I only felt pain just now, I didn't want to be so unlucky, I actually fed the animal two fingers!" ”

Where has He's wife seen such a scene, she held back her tears and carefully cleaned Liu Huai's wounds. Wash it clean before applying the medicine. After wrapping the wound with medicine, Heda's wife said in a low voice: "My brother saved my husband and child, and I was seriously injured by this, and the concubine is grateful." If there is a difficulty in the future, even if you are broken to pieces, you will repay the kindness. ”

Liu Huai said with a smile: "I am a soldier in the army, I have no parents, no wife and no children, just one life, what is this injury!" I don't want you to repay any kindness, I will accidentally die in the future, and there will be no one to go to the grave to deliver wine-"

He Da pulled the dog's head, kowtowed to Liu Huai three times, and said, "Don't say those frustrating words. There will come a day when this son of mine will recognize you as his father, and he will pay homage at four o'clock, so that you will not suffer in that world. ”

Liu Huai touched the dog's head and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" After saying that, he stood up with the pain of the wound.

Over there, Chen Shuo and the others packed up, seeing that it was getting late, and they didn't eat anymore, so they lit a few torches and prepared to go back to the town.

When he walked out of He Daocheng's door, he heard the sound of "whoop, whoosh" coming from the shadows. The mother worm in the net suddenly became irritable, and kept whining and churning, and could barely lift it.

Chen Shuo lit the torch, and in the direction from which the sound came, he saw a little tiger lying on the ground, picking up the ground with four paws, raising his head, looking at the female big insect in the net, and kept calling, shaking his head around.

Zhang Lin on the side said: "Needless to say, this is the little tiger that a few children saw that day." Mother and son are by nature, I think it was secretly living and seeing us arresting our mother, secretly followed. If you meet, let's take it back with you. ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the fur on the back of the little tiger's neck, grabbed it, and held it in his arms. When the little tiger was feeding, he opened his mouth and bit Zhang Lin's hand, his teeth were soft and he didn't have any strength. Zhang Lin laughed, put her hand in its mouth, and let it nibble around.

Everyone went out of the village, four people carried the tiger they caught, two people carried Liu Huai, Zhang Lin held the little tiger, and returned to the town at night.

Early the next morning, the news that Chen Shuo and others had caught a big insect alive and came back spread all over the town and the camp and field affairs yamen, and everyone came to see it. Thirteen Lang got the news, called Chen Shuo, asked about yesterday's situation, and took a look at the big worm he caught.

Looking at the big insect lying in the cage and a little tiger running around outside the cage, Thirteen Lang said: "This animal is honest. ”

Chen Shuo said: "Originally, I was dishonest, and I kept making trouble. Later, I put this small one outside the cage, so that it settled down and stopped making trouble. Zhou Su and they found a ewe that had just gotten off the sheep and got goat's milk to feed the little tiger, and it ate deliciously. ”

Shisanlang said: "What, the tigress inside has no milk?" ”

Chen Shuo said: "Which knows!" The beast was so vicious that it didn't dare to put the little tiger in a cage. ”

Thirteen Lang looked around the cage a few times, and felt a little eager to try, and said to Chen Shuo: "If you release this big worm, I will put it right here, which one do you say can win?" ”

Chen Shuo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Sect head Huwei, how can this animal be compared?" But why should man fight with an animal, since he has already caught it, he will be locked in a cage, and it is not at our disposal! ”

Thirteen Lang nodded, finally a little unwilling, and said, "Next time you go to fight the tiger, call me to go with you." This animal must have grown up like this, it must be a good strength, and when the time comes, it will be a fight, and see how it is! ”

Chen Shuo agreed in his mouth, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must not take Thirteen Lang there. This time, several people also brought nets, and they still hurt Liu Huai's hands, and they returned it with their bare hands. This tiger is very tame in the cage, but once it moves, it is extremely powerful.

After seeing the tiger, Shisanlang bought some gifts and went to see Liu Huai. Seeing him wrapping his hands and lying on the bed, he stepped forward to look at it and said, "This time I wronged you." In a moment, I will examine the yamen and reward you well. Also, if your hand is injured, will you still be able to hold a knife and gun in the future? If it is not convenient, he will be transferred to the baggage camp, and the grain will be transported and cooked, and there will be no shortage of money and grain. ”

Liu Huai said: "Sect leader, I just injured two fingers, it's not a big injury, what's the matter?" Without two fingers, I will not be delayed in taking a knife and a gun, and going into battle to kill the enemy. went to transport grain and grass, and suffocated me alive! ”

Liu Huai is one of the cavalry officers valued by Shisanlang, and he is also reluctant in his heart. Tell him to recuperate in peace and not worry about the rest.

In the afternoon, Du Zhongxiao disposed of official business, and when Thirteen Lang arrived, he learned that a tiger had been caught in the army. I've seen it there, especially the little tiger doesn't know what's going on, it's very clingy. As soon as he saw the person in front of the cage, he circled around, biting his trouser leg and rolling. For a while, I couldn't bear to take the tiger's life, so I kept it in a cage for the time being.

Two days later, Thirteen Lang came to Du Zhongxiao and said, "Official, that big insect is really hard to raise!" ”

Du Zhongxiao said strangely: "Why can't you raise it?" Wouldn't it be good to have that little tiger there, and the mother insect not to make any noise? ”

Thirteen Lang said: "It's not noisy or noisy, but it can eat a lot!" The beast had a very foul mouth, and ate only fresh meat. The amount of food is large, and you have to eat more than ten catties of fresh meat a day, how can you afford it? ”

Du Zhongxiao listened, thought for a while, and said, "What you said is that it is not a way to raise it like this. You make me think about it, find the best of both worlds. ”

In this era, tigers are plagued, and it is not uncommon for them to be everywhere in the world. But there are not many people who have seen live tigers, and if you build a zoo in a lively place, I don't know if anyone will see it? There is just a place in Fancheng Shopping Mall to attract people to them.
