In traditional western fantasy, there is a setting called "Dragon's Might". It refers to when most non-dragon creatures meet a dragon, they will tremble from the bottom of their soul.
After meeting the tiger in the back mountain, I personally verified the existence of "Dragon's Might". At the very least, "Tiger's Might" can make people pee their pants.
However, I haven't peed my pants yet.
It's not that I'm brave and fearless, but I'm worried that if I pee in this situation, the tiger will think that I'm using my pee to mark its territory. What if it gets angry and bites me?
That's why I only extended a hand towards the tiger's huge head, hoping that my "Smiling Petting Dog's Head" skill would work miracles on this giant cat.
However, the king of beasts slowly avoided my touch, as if this action was a great insult to it.
I was stunned on the spot, and forgot to take back my hand. I thought that I'm done for. It turns out that not only can a tiger's butt not be touched, a tiger's head is also not allowed to be touched. I didn't even have the time to use my last skill before I fed the tiger with my body.
Then, I was shocked to find that the tiger extended its left front paw towards me, as if it wanted to shake hands with me.
Damn! What's going on? I didn't expect this to be a civilized and polite tiger! Should I respond to it? Should I respond to it immediately to prevent it from being offended and biting me in half in a fit of rage?!
"Ao …" The tiger's deep roar echoed through the forest, causing my legs to tremble. I have never felt this in front of any human, not even Peng TouSi.
Huh? Based on the tiger as a reference, can I conclude that Peng TouSi can't beat Wu Song? But because of Peng TouSi's gentle personality, I might have underestimated his strength …
Look, I'm already in a life and death situation, but I still have the mood to compare who's stronger between Peng TouSi and Wu Song. This is probably what it means to be at a loss.
In the afternoon sunlight, I suddenly saw something flash on the paw of the tiger's left front paw.
I opened my eyes wide and looked carefully. I saw a wooden thorn in the tiger's palm. It was as thick as a toothpick, and the part that was exposed was around an inch long. The tiger couldn't pull it out, and its low groan was filled with pain.
I suddenly understood. The tiger didn't want to eat me, but it wanted me to help it pull out the thorns. I was wondering why it hadn't hurt anyone in the past few years. Why couldn't it bear the loneliness when I howled like a wolf today?
"Ah … Amitabha! Hallelujah! " I clasped my hands together and thanked God for giving me a chance to live. Then, I cautiously gave the tiger a friendly look.
The tiger was probably looking back at me with a "kind gaze", but it didn't look much different from before. In short, cats weren't fun when they grew too big.
When Xiao Ding was working in the zoo, he and I had watched the zookeeper pull out the tiger's teeth. At that time, we were surprised that the zookeeper didn't hold the tiger in place and directly put the sharp nose pliers into the tiger's mouth. Even when the tiger resisted the zookeeper and used its dagger-like teeth to bite the zookeeper's arm, the zookeeper didn't care.
I didn't have the same mental fortitude as the keeper. In front of the tiger with thorns in its paw, I shivered and trembled as I half-squatted down. I kept my line of sight level with the tiger — — this was my trick to make dogs let down their guard — — and then I quietly began my work as a veterinarian.
There wasn't much to go into detail. Helping a tiger pull out its thorns wasn't any harder than helping a kitten catch fleas. However, this was a job that involved risking one's life. Who knew when the tiger would be dissatisfied and directly kill me?
"Don't move, don't move … Just a little bit more …"
I used all of my adrenaline and my concentration was no less than a doctor performing brain surgery. Finally, I successfully pulled out the thorns from the tiger's paw.
After I took a closer look, it really was a toothpick. It was still oily. It was probably a student who came on a picnic to eat barbecued meat and threw the toothpick on the ground, causing the tiger to step on it.
Once the thorns were removed, the pressure was instantly relieved. Mr. Tiger first licked the wound on its paw, then turned to me and smiled evilly (I thought it looked evilly). Then, it opened its bloody mouth — — Hey, hey, hey! It's not just people who don't keep their word, even tigers don't keep their word! It's fine if you don't thank me for helping you pull out the thorns, but why do you want to eat me! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost! After I go to hell, I must find Wu Song to practice my tiger fighting skills. I must take revenge!
However, although the tiger opened its mouth, it didn't eat me. Instead, it stuck out its blood-red tongue and licked my hand, as if it was praising my hands for helping it relieve its pain.
It's really unbearable for a feline to have a barbed tongue. Luckily, the tiger didn't use any force and the skin on the back of my hand was rough, otherwise, I might have scraped off a piece of flesh.
"Are … are there any other injuries?"
I grabbed a handful of grass from the ground to wipe off the tiger's saliva. At the same time, I tried to ask if there was anything else I could help with.
The tiger let out a low growl and got up from its lying position. It stared straight at my face. After 2-3 seconds, it lazily turned around and walked into the depths of the forest. It wagged its tail and seemed to be in a good mood.
I was drenched in cold sweat. My almost stopped heart started beating rapidly after the tiger completely disappeared from my sight.
"Fuck … why am I so unlucky? I came to the back mountain to relax and I actually met a tiger! If I didn't look carefully and fought with the tiger, wouldn't that be the end of me? "
Although I was extremely scared to the point of collapse, I didn't dare to stay in the back mountain for long. I quickly ran down the mountain and ran back to QingZi High School. As soon as I saw Xiao Qin and Winnie, I shouted:
"Don't go to the back mountain! There's a tiger in the back mountain! I saw it with my own eyes! I even pulled out a wooden thorn from its paw! "
"Hahahaha, don't tease me!" Winnie waved her hands at me, "I told you someone saw a tiger yesterday, and you saw it today? How could it be that coincidental! Also, isn't pulling out a tiger's thorn something that only happens in fairy tales! "
"It's not a thorn, it's a wooden thorn!" I raised the toothpick as evidence, "This is what I pulled out from the tiger's paw! If I didn't pull out the thorn, it might have followed me and wouldn't let me leave the mountain! "
"Isn't it just a normal toothpick?" Winnie's smile became even wider, "If you look closely, it looks like the toothpick I threw a few days ago when I was eating barbecue …"
"Wow! So it was you! " If Xiao Qin wasn't present, I would have jumped up and strangled Winnie, "Do you know that I was almost eaten by a tiger because of your toothpick? They could die in modern society, but they have to contribute to the conservation of wild animals … "
"Is there really a tiger?" Xiao Qin blinked with a puzzled expression, "Let me smell your hand …"
Without waiting for me to agree, Xiao Qin came over, grabbed my wrist, and sniffed a few times.
"Ah! It really is a tiger! "Xiao Qin exclaimed," It smells exactly like the ones in the zoo! Did you encounter a tiger!? Were you injured? Was any part of your body eaten by the tiger? "
Xiao Qin, who was circling around my body, made me feel a bit embarrassed.
"Can you really tell what a tiger smells like? Or do you believe everything I say unconditionally? Also, as you can see, I have all four of my limbs, none of them were eaten by the tiger! "
"That's not necessarily true." Winnie joined in the fun, "Humans always say tiger penis is very nutritious, what if there are similar rumors on the tiger's side …"
Regardless of whether Xiao Qin and Winnie truly believe it or not, we need to let more people know that there are tigers in the back mountain. Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be cases of tigers injuring people.
Thus, I immediately went to find Peng TouSi. He and Ai Mi lived in the principal's building and had a lot of contact with Principal He Qimei of Qingzi High School. Even if Principal He didn't believe what I said, she would have to think twice about what Peng TouSi and Ai Mi said.
"What? There's a tiger in the back mountain!? "
Ai Mi, who was sitting behind the long table in the principal's office with her feet on the table, was so shocked that she almost fell off her chair after I finished telling her about today's encounter.
"Are you sure it's a tiger and not some other animal?" Peng TouSi asked thoughtfully.
"It's definitely a tiger! I'm a thousand percent sure it's a tiger! " I pulled out the toothpick from the tiger's claw and placed it on the desk, "There's still some tiger blood on it! Is Dr. Yu here? Let him test it and we'll be sure it's a tiger! "
"You guys are looking for me?" Dr. Yu, who was wearing a white coat and Google glasses with disheveled hair, staggered in from the door.
"There's no need to test it!" Ai Mi slammed the table and shouted, "The manservant was almost eaten by a tiger today, it's your negligence! As the principal of Qing Zi High School, I also feel embarrassed! The back mountain clearly doesn't need any animals, we could have used mustard gas or sarin gas to kill them, then this wouldn't have happened! "
Ai Mi still considered herself the principal of Qing Zi High School, and her suggestions still had zero possibility of being implemented.
Dr. Yu took the toothpick from the table, "I'll test it and send the data to my zoology friend. He'll be able to quickly determine which type of tiger it is."
Ai Mi felt that Dr. Yu's actions were unnecessary. She turned to Peng TouSi and ordered:
"It doesn't matter which type of tiger it is! Whether it's a Bengal tiger, a Sumatra tiger, a Siberian tiger, or a South China tiger, we don't need to let it live so close to us! Turn it into a dead tiger! I don't care what method you use, get rid of it! Who told it to scare the manservant! I'm going to spread the tiger skin on the floor of the principal's office! Only the skin of a tiger can bring out this lady's greatness! "
