My 1995 Small Farm.

"Oh my god, what kind of footprints are these? It can't be a tiger, the paw is so big!"

After Shanmao and Zhao Dahai came over, they were also a little surprised.

Although Zhao Dahai didn't know as much about the things in the mountains as Chen Ling and the mountain cat, he had seen the tiger paws of Afu and A Shou, and the leopard caught by Chen Ling. Apart from anything else, the leopard's footprints were still clearly left on the snow.

Compared with the footprints here, they are nothing.

“Oh my god, no wonder the leopard was so scared that it didn’t dare go back to the mountains. And Heiwa’s cubs also ran out of the mountains. Such a scary thing.

They definitely can't win.

This footprint is bigger than my palm. If I get hit by it, I will be crippled even with my physique."

Zhao Dahai's face turned a little pale.

He is the kind of person who talks a lot. He wants to say something in every situation, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable. But this time, every word he said hit the nail on the head.

He squatted in front of the footprints, gesturing back and forth with his palms, comparing them constantly.

"How rich is it? Any guesses?"

The mountain cat also frowned, and had never been so serious before.

Two years ago, they encountered a wild boar king in Xixiang Miao Village. They were not afraid but felt excited and wanted to fight with this giant pig that seemed to have turned into a goblin.

but……

This time is different.

Now that he has a child, his mindset has changed and he is less willing to take risks in anything.

Especially since Dujuan hasn’t even finished her confinement and has only just been able to walk.

He was worried about his wife and children, so when he encountered wild beasts, he no longer thought about picking up his gun and going to the mountains to fight the beasts.

Instead, I want to find it out and eliminate it as soon as possible, and eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible, otherwise I will feel uneasy.

"No, I haven't been to the mountains for a long time."

Chen Ling shook his head, turned around and said, "For now, let's send these people from the crew away. The situation in the mountains is not right, and we won't be able to take care of them in the future. After sending them away, let the elderly and children move back to the village first. The children don't need to stay at the farm for the time being."

"Do we have to send Brother Yuemin and the others away too? It's almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month..."

Zhao Dahai interrupted.

"Yes, the New Year is almost over, and they have to send it off as soon as possible."

Chen Ling nodded and said, "After sending them all away, we will go to the city to report the case and call for people to guard the village. This time we will use mining explosives.

Then we will take people and dogs into the mountains to see what happened there."

"Okay, this is indeed safer, so let's make it a deal."

The mountain cat responded.

"With heavy snow and changes like this in the mountains, it's better for us to play it safe."

Zhao Dahai also agreed, and then half-knelt on the ground, touching the hair on Heiwa's neck, and staring at the plum blossom footprints under Heiwa's thick claws. After all, they were not as good as the footprints of the unknown creature next to them.

I thought about some of the things that Chen Ling and Shanmao had talked about before.

It is said to be a wild beast among the cat family. The small ones are really small, and the big ones are really big.

And if they can grow up, they will be exaggeratedly large.

It is far superior to canines.

Don’t underestimate the common dogs, they are much more powerful than cats.

But if you really encounter a big cat, that’s not enough.

Zhao Dahai felt his heart pounding at this time, and he muttered to himself: "Is there really a tiger coming out? I heard from them that tigers have strong yang energy and are the least afraid of cold."

Old people often say that the tiger is the king of beasts and the most masculine of masculine. How strong is its yang energy?

Tiger urine can ward off evil spirits!

On such a snowy day, other creatures are afraid of the cold and worry about food.

The tiger is not afraid.

In this environment, it can thrive without being restricted by any constraints.

If this thing were to appear and enter the village, there would be nothing we could do to stop it.

We really have to do as Chen Ling said and get some powerful mining explosives and prepare them in advance.

Otherwise, ordinary shotguns simply won’t work.

"Let's go first. Let's go back and ask them to move to the village. Don't worry about the leopards for now. They are scared by the dogs and the things in the mountains. It's useless to kill them."

Chen Ling wanted to go into the mountains to search, but given the current situation, he couldn't leave the village without someone.

What he feared most was that once he entered the mountains, unknown wild animals in the mountains would come down from other directions and sneak into the village. Then no one could stop them and they would not leave until they were full.

My scalp goes numb just thinking about it.

"Well, most cats are nervous. If you provoke them further, it might have the opposite effect. They are already scared out of their wits, and that's enough."

Bobcat also said.

Cats, regardless of their size, are very neurotic. The mountain cat itself has encountered this. It caught several sick young leopards in the mountains. It was obviously for the purpose of saving them, but in the end, the leopards went crazy. The leopards, who were only more than two months old, killed each other, bit their brothers' heads and started eating their meat.

It's very incomprehensible and very scary.

That is, once they are stimulated, they will really do things that are beyond human comprehension.

……

The three men returned along the same route with the dog.

Here at the foot of the mountain, the big guys are guarding a pack of dogs and surrounding a leopard in a tree.

Seeing Chen Ling and the other two coming back, he hurriedly asked:

"Boss Chen, did you find anything?"

This was of course asked by the people in the crew. They were all nervous, curious, and excited, as if they were involved in some big event.

This is much more exciting than filming a movie or playing a role.

My nerves are tense all the time and my whole body is highly involved.

"Some discoveries have revealed traces of unknown beasts. Judging from their size, they look very much like tigers, but not exactly."

Chen Ling shook his head slightly: "I can only say that the thing can scare a leopard to this extent, it is almost on the same level as a tiger."

"What? Tiger!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

“It’s just a suspicion, but even though it’s uncertain, the situation is somewhat serious. Teacher Jiao, Director, I’ll take you away after dinner.

Go back to the city and head to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible. If something goes wrong in the mountains, people here will be in a panic and may not be able to take care of you.

If we hurt you, we will be guilty of a great sin."

Chen Ling sighed and said.

In this situation, if a ferocious tiger appeared, who in the village would care about others except him?
Jiao Huang and the others also realized the severity of the problem, and their faces changed.

But he was still surprised. "Is there really a tiger? But if it can scare a leopard like this, nothing else can do it."

Someone else asked: "Are there really many strange things in Qinling? I know that the wild boar king is real, and there are also those big turtles. There are photos of them and they have been on the news...

I've heard that there was a giant python in the Qinling Mountains that was struck by lightning but didn't die. It was transforming into a dragon. I've heard many people talk about this."

This person was a bit young, and as soon as he said this, he was scolded by many people.

"What nonsense are you talking about? A giant python passing through the Dragon Gate? How can this be trusted? Don't believe everything you hear."

"Not necessarily. There are already such big wild boar kings, so why aren't there big python spirits?"

"There are pythons that don't come out in winter..."

"Not necessarily. I've heard that those big turtles will come out. And we have to go back by water. What if there's a python hiding in the water?
We should burn incense for it, and also for those big turtles, so that they can bless us with safety."

"..."

This phone call silenced the rest of the crew.

But surprisingly there was no rebuttal.

At the same time, those people from the village who followed also showed signs of interest.

"Yes, we have to go back and burn more incense, worship the Earth God, worship the Turtle King, and worship all kinds of gods and immortals. This year looks like a disaster year, so we have to offer enough incense to the gods and Buddhas at the beginning of the year."

After they finished talking, they hurried back. Before leaving, they did not forget to greet Chen Ling and remind him not to forget to burn incense and pray for blessings.

In short, this sudden situation in the mountains caused panic as expected.

Many people in the crew were also affected. Just as they were excited about participating in the hunting, they were now as scared as they were now.

Worried about whether I would die in the mountains.

Among them, Jiao Huang was the calmest. He was over fifty years old and had experienced a lot of ups and downs. He did not panic at the first moment, but walked to Chen Ling, asked a few questions in detail, and then wanted to take out his mobile phone to make a call.

But unfortunately, the signal has been really bad these days and I can’t dial any number.

But he still said: "If there is danger in the village, Boss Chen will notify the villagers to take refuge in the city. The county town is far away from the mountains. When we get to the city, we will help you report the case and ask the city police to send people. It will definitely be resolved."

"Teacher Jiao, don't worry. We have experience. The tiger is still nowhere to be seen, so there won't be any problems in the short term."

Chen Ling smiled. There was a tiger incident in the neighboring county many years ago. It was said that it happened before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Many relatives and friends hid in their village.

He heard from his father.

Now, it is nothing more than villagers in one's own village looking for relatives to take refuge with. This is very normal in the countryside.

"Fugui, I can't make a call. I'll go with Teacher Jiao and the others. I'll go find the police and ask them to bring someone here quickly."

At this time, Liang Yuemin also spoke hurriedly.

Boss Liang is very popular now. He has an official background and his words carry weight.

Chen Ling nodded and agreed. He had wanted to send them away for a long time, and this was a good opportunity to do so.

Instant noodles are in great need of people, Liang Yuemin should have left long ago. (End of this chapter)
