Jiang Cheng's group of three, with a wolf in tow, followed the footprints in the snow for more than twenty kilometers, but they still did not find any traces of anyone. He asked in confusion, "Grandpa, where did the Fourth Prince hide? We haven't gone the wrong way, have we? "
"We haven't gone the wrong way, we've just kept going in this direction. The Fourth Prince likes to stay in the mountain col ahead. It seems that there are hunting experts up ahead, and they probably know where the tiger is hiding. We have to catch up quickly, or else I'm afraid that the Fourth Prince will be in danger."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he did not dare to delay any longer. The other party had professional hunters with deep hunting experience. It seemed that they had already figured out where the tiger was hiding. If they did not hurry up, it was very likely that they would not be able to catch up.
The three of them immediately quickened their pace, but they had only taken three steps when a few hurried sounds came from the depths of the forest. Great-Grandfather Fang and Jiang Cheng looked at each other and instantly understood — it was the sound of gunfire.
At this time, there was no need to think too much. The three of them ran forward, with Big Gray in the lead. When Jiang Cheng and the others saw the direction that Big Gray was running, they knew what to do and hurriedly chased after it.
After running wildly for fifteen minutes, Big Gray stopped at the corner of a cave and looked into the cave. Jiang Cheng and Great-Grandfather Fang also hurriedly climbed up to look down. When they saw what they saw, they could not help but jump in fright.
They saw eight men, each holding a long-barreled hunting rifle, surrounding a towering tree. A large yellow and white tiger about 1.6 meters long stood in front of the tree. When Jiang Cheng took a closer look, he saw that it was the colorful tiger with hanging muscles, the Fourth Prince, that he had seen before.
Great-Grandfather Fang panicked and raised his rifle to shoot at the eight hunters. However, he was quickly stopped by Jiang Cheng. They were at least two hundred meters away from the cave, and Great-Grandfather Fang only had a Type 92 pistol. Beyond fifty meters, the accuracy of a pistol would be greatly reduced. If he fired this shot, the other party would definitely discover him, and there was no guarantee that they would not kill the Fourth Prince.
Hunters all knew that the most precious part of a tiger was its skin. If there were a few holes in it, the price would be greatly reduced. Now that the eight people were only surrounding the Fourth Prince and did not shoot, it was obvious that they wanted to capture him alive and did not want to damage the tiger's skin.
Jiang Cheng took out a video camera from his bag and turned on the recording function. He passed it to Mu Ping and said, "Ping Zi, stand guard here. Take this thing and record the situation below. Remember, record everything for me!"
Mu Ping knew that Big Brother wanted him to record evidence. He nodded his head vigorously to show that he understood. He took the video camera and lay down on the snowy ground, holding it in his hand to record.
Jiang Cheng also took out a pair of high-powered binoculars, a submachine gun, and a pistol from his bag. He put the clip in his pocket and said to Great-Grandfather Fang, "Big Grandfather, you go that way. I'll go this way. We'll be fifty meters away. Wait for my signal before you shoot."
Great-Grandfather Fang agreed without hesitation. It was an emergency now, and there was no time for the two of them to discuss tactics. His eldest grandson was a special forces soldier and had a lot of combat experience. Listening to him was definitely the right choice.
He quickly rushed out and ran towards the other side of the cave. Jiang Cheng looked at Great-Grandfather Fang's strong body and knew that he would not have any problems. An old Red Army soldier who had been through the flames of war would definitely not be weak. He did not dawdle and picked up the P90 in his hand and ran towards the other side of the cave.
After a few minutes, both of them arrived at their designated positions. Jiang Cheng gestured to Great-Grandfather Fang, and Great-Grandfather Fang gestured back. When Jiang Cheng saw that the preparations were complete, he immediately stood up and fired. In an instant, three hunters who were standing on the periphery fell to the ground.
Great-Grandfather Fang was not careless either. He picked up the Type-92 pistol and shot wherever he pointed within fifty meters. However, he did not aim at the vital parts of those people. Like Jiang Cheng, he did not intend to kill them. He only aimed at their legs.
The battle started very suddenly and ended abnormally quickly. Within a few seconds, all eight hunters had fallen to the ground. Jiang Cheng and Great-Grandfather Fang also picked up their guns and walked down. However, at this moment, the Fourth Prince, who had been surrounded by eight hunters for a long time, suddenly exploded. He rushed towards the nearest hunter and wanted to bite him.
When Great-Grandfather Fang saw that the Fourth Prince was about to bite someone, he immediately shouted, "The Fourth Prince! Don't! "
This shout of The Fourth Prince reverberated in the forest for a long time. Hearing Great-Grandfather Fang's shout, The Fourth Prince immediately stopped moving. He raised his head to look for the source of the voice and soon found Great-Grandfather Fang standing halfway up the mountain. He saw Great-Grandfather Fang wearing his unwashed military coat, standing on the hillside and waving his hand. The Type-92 pistol in his hand was still smoking. This scene was very similar to the time when he saved the young Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince immediately gave up on biting someone and rushed to Great-Grandfather Fang in a few strides. He squatted in front of Great-Grandfather Fang and cried out in joy.
Great-Grandfather Fang turned off the safety of the pistol and put it on his waist. He hugged the Fourth Prince's head with both hands and helped him scratch an itch, grinning from ear to ear.
A man and a tiger, getting along so well. Ping Zi, who was lying on the hillside, was obviously a talented cameraman. He adjusted the focus of the video camera to the maximum and captured the touching scene of Great-Grandfather Fang and The Fourth Prince rubbing their ears and temples together.
At this moment, a hunter raised his rifle and was about to shoot at the Fourth Prince who was acting like a spoiled child with Great-Grandfather Fang. Jiang Cheng saw this and fired a shot at the hunter. The bullet hit the hunter's wrist, and the pain made him lose his grip on the gun and drop it on the ground. The other seven people were also frightened.
Just now, they were shot in the thighs with two guns in a few seconds. Now, they could not walk and could only lie on the snowy ground and wail. The stronger men could still bear it, after all, they were only shot in the thighs and it was not a serious injury. Jiang Cheng and Great-Grandfather Fang still had a sense of propriety.
The guy who raised his gun and wanted to shoot at the Fourth Prince was shot by Jiang Cheng in the wrist. He cried out in pain and probably would not be able to hold chopsticks in the future.
Jiang Cheng walked in front of the eight people with a submachine gun and said, "You bastards, prepare to go to jail!" After saying this, Jiang Cheng confiscated all the guns in their hands.
Great-Grandfather Fang and the Fourth Prince played around for a while, then brought the Fourth Prince to Jiang Cheng. When the eight guys who had raised their guns to surround the Fourth Prince saw the tiger coming, they were so scared that they gathered together and trembled. Jiang Cheng looked at their cowardly behavior and could not help but snort.
Jiang Cheng looked at the Fourth Prince who was standing with Great-Grandfather Fang and asked, "Grandpa, can I touch it?"
Great-Grandfather Fang said happily, "Yes, as long as I'm here, it won't bite anyone. You saved its life today, it will remember you in the future. Don't worry, it won't bite you!"
Jiang Cheng was overjoyed. He called Ping Zi down from the cave and asked him to take a few pictures of him and the Fourth Prince. Mu Ping was very talented in photography and took a good picture of him playing with the tiger. Every picture was perfect. Later, one of the pictures almost became the most beautiful picture of the year, but it was taken away by a picture of a slum by the judges, so it could only be ranked second.
Jiang Cheng looked at the Fourth Prince and Mu Ping's big gray tiger. One tiger and one wolf were facing each other in the snow. Jiang Cheng asked, "Grandpa, what do you plan to do with the Fourth Prince? Now his reputation has spread, and the whole world knows that we have a South China tiger. "
Great-Grandfather Fang's eyes widened. "What? Did you leak the news? "
Jiang Cheng shrugged and said, "Grandpa, we have to do this. You see, there are so many hunters coming to hunt the Fourth Prince. If we don't let the Fourth Prince have a good place to go, there will be more people coming. We have to find a way to let the whole society protect him once and for all. Your strength alone is far from enough!"
After listening to this, Great-Grandfather Fang was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Cheng was relieved when he saw that Great-Grandfather Fang had agreed to his approach. He asked Mu Ping to tie up all eight hunters with ropes and gave them a simple bandage. After waiting in the mountains for nearly six hours, the reinforcements from outside finally arrived.
The first to arrive was not the police, but Zhou Deguang and one of his subordinates from the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry. Along with them were three reporters from the Jiangnan Daily. They all rushed to the Mushan Group as soon as they got the news, and then followed the footprints to find them.
When Bureau Chief Zhou and the three reporters saw the big tiger, they were all shocked and stopped to watch. They looked at the three people who were getting along well with the South China tiger from afar. An old man, a soldier with a submachine gun on his back, and a child. The leading female reporter immediately thought of the title for tomorrow's news: "Three Generations of Fighting Hunters, Bravely Saving the Extinct South China Tiger!" Then she would post the intimate photos of them and the tiger online. It would definitely be a hit!
When Great-Grandfather Fang saw people coming from afar, he hurriedly called for the Fourth Prince to go first. Although the Fourth Prince was reluctant to be separated from Great-Grandfather Fang, when he saw people coming from afar, he resolutely ran away. In a cave five miles away, his children were still waiting for him!
Seeing that the tiger had gone far away, Zhou Deguang dared to bring his reporter friends and his subordinates to the crowd. As soon as the female reporter arrived in front of the crowd, she immediately picked up the camera and filmed the scene. She took out her mobile phone and turned on the recording. She handed it to Jiang Cheng to interview him, but Jiang Cheng declined.
Jiang Cheng refused the reporter friends' interview, walked in front of Zhou Deguang and asked, "Are you a local leader?"
