Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

The dog is barking like this. If the mountain king is still alive, even if he is injured, he can pounce and kill the leopard in one bite.

But at this moment, there were only dogs barking in the rock pond, and there was no response from other animals.

Sheng Xiping guessed that the tiger might be dead, or else it would be seriously injured and dying.

So, Sheng Xiping and the three of them all held guns and walked forward cautiously, arriving behind a big rock.

Then, everyone discovered that behind the big rock, there was a colorful tiger. Its belly had been ripped open and a lot of food had been eaten. There were many big flies flying around.

Judging from the situation, it probably took more than a day for the tiger to die.

"Is the Mountain King really dead? Oh, is that bear so powerful? It's incredible."

Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo hurriedly stepped forward, waved away the annoying flies, and stepped forward to take a closer look.

"Good guy, this tiger's belly was completely ripped open, and a lot of internal organs and meat were eaten. Xiping, what should we do with it?"

Sheng Xiping looked at it and sighed, "You don't want any more meat, just pick off the bones and let's take them back."

Let's keep quiet when we go home. We won't sell these things. We keep them all. They are useful. "

The tiger had been dead for a long time, and the meat had begun to rot in this hot weather. It could no longer be eaten. Only the bones were left, and the rest was discarded.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Wang Jianshe and Wang Jianshe nodded, took out the knives they carried with them, and began to pick out the tiger bones.

Sheng Xiping put the gun aside and looked at the tiger carefully.

I feel like this tiger is not too big. Is it a cub or a female tiger? Sheng Xiping thought about it and hurriedly stepped forward to look at the tiger's lower abdomen.

The tiger's belly has been ripped open by the bear, and it is impossible to tell whether it is breastfeeding or not, but the male and female can still be distinguished. This is a female tiger.

The tiger's estrus season lasts until February every year after the snow falls. Sheng Xiping remembered the last time they came here, and he joked that the tiger might come here to find a partner.

This is a female tiger. If we go by this calculation, she conceived her cubs in February. The tiger's gestation period is 105 days, and she basically gives birth to her cubs in June.

Now, the tiger cub should be a month old but not too big.

I just walked all the way and found that the scope of fighting is very large.

Logically speaking, large animals rarely fight to the death, and most will run away once their lives are in danger.

But there is one situation where it does not happen, that is, a tigress with her cubs.

In order to protect her cubs, a tigress will fight with other animals, and a brown bear can only kill a tigress by taking advantage of her weakness in protecting her cubs.

"Jianshe, Weiguo, you guys are here picking bones while I walk around. I don't think there are any tiger cubs around here."

Sheng Xiping's heart moved and he called Huabao and wandered around.

Although the leopard is only one year old, it is very spiritual. Sheng Xiping asked it to find things, and it smelled everywhere.

A man and a dog walked around for a long time, and finally came to a cave. The leopard kept barking towards the cave with its tail between its legs.

Sheng Xiping hurriedly came to the cave and tried to look inside. Sure enough, he saw two green lights, which should be the eyes of the cub.

The entrance of the cave was not too big, but it was quite deep inside. Sheng Xiping spent a lot of effort and stretched out his hand to pull the little guy out of the cave little by little, and was scratched a few times by it.

Finally, Sheng Xiping fished out a little guy from the cave that was bigger than a cat, covered in light yellow and light black fur, with a big head swinging around and hissing at Sheng Xiping with his mouth open.

It is said that tiger cubs will eat breast milk for a period of time after birth and live with the tigress until they are about three years old, before being driven away by the tigress.

Sheng Xiping didn't know whether it was true or not. Anyway, such a small tiger cub has no ability to survive independently.

If Sheng Xiping hadn't found it, it was estimated that in two days, the little guy would either be found and killed by other animals, or he would starve to death.

"Okay, put away your skills, let's go home with me."

Sheng Xiping reached out, picked up the little tiger cub by the back of the neck, put the little guy in his arms, and then patted the leopard on the head. "Let's go, go back."

Even though a leopard is as big as a dog, facing such a small tiger cub, it did not dare to bark loudly, and its tail was still tucked between its legs.

Bloodline suppression among animals is really no joke.

Sheng Xiping held the tiger cub and led the leopard back to the place where the tiger's body was found.

By this time, Wang Jianshe and the others had picked off all the tiger bones. The tiger skin was full of wounds and torn into pieces, and was of no use, so Wang Jianshe and the others did not want it.

Everyone finally dug a hole in the ground, put the tiger meat and skin into the hole, and put some rocks and other things on top.

In fact, even if they don't do this, not many animals would dare to destroy the tiger meat. The death of a tiger is particularly majestic. Didn't you see General Hei so frightened that he didn't dare to come forward?

"Hey, Xiping, are you catching a little tiger?

What are you going to do with this thing? Are you keeping it? We probably can't afford to feed this guy who eats meat. "

When Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo saw the little tiger cub in Sheng Xiping's arms, they both felt that it was quite strange.

But when I look back, I wonder, can this thing be kept?

Let’s not talk about whether the policy is allowed or not. Let’s just say that this thing eats meat. People in these days may not be able to eat much meat. How can they feed a tiger?

"Whether we can afford to raise it or not, we have to take it back first, otherwise it will starve to death. Let's talk about it after we get back. I don't know if I can raise it alone."

Sheng Xiping didn't know much about this stuff. The superiors ordered not to kill tigers casually, but I didn't hear that they were not allowed to raise tigers.

Let's keep it for now. If the higher-ups don't allow it, then there will have to be regulations. You can't just leave the tiger cub in the mountains to starve to death.

In this regard, Wang Jianshe and the others did not say anything else. Just take it back with you. What can be done about it?

The tigress was already dead. Such a small cub would definitely die if left to be fed by the tigress. If they took it back, they might still have a way to survive.

It’s just that this thing is not easy to feed. How can there be so much meat for it to eat?

Forget it, that’s all for later, let’s eat something first.

It's already afternoon since I entered the mountain in the morning. I haven't eaten yet, and I'm already feeling hungry.

Fortunately, the three of them all brought dry food, so they found a place to sit down, took out the dry food, fed the two dogs a little more, and ate the rest.

After eating and resting for a while, the three of them got up and walked back.

Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo packed the tiger bones in sacks and carried them. Sheng Xiping held the tiger cub and led the two dogs. The group walked out of the rock pond and walked back along the way they came.

The distance they walked this day was not short, at least it would have been more than fifty miles.

It is said that no journey is carried lightly, and even these tiger bones will feel very heavy after traveling a long distance.

The three of them walked and walked in the mountains. When they were tired, they would sit down and rest for a while. When they were thirsty, they would find a small river or mountain spring to drink some water. We walked until dusk, and finally arrived at the large dirt slope at the east end of the forest farm.

Once here, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"My mom, I'm finally home. I'm very tired today." Wang Jianshe muttered, then straightened the sack on his shoulder and carried it down the slope.
