On the morning of the next day, under the collective farewell of thirty-nine villagers of Douping Village, Song Yang left the village with his people.
Before leaving, he told the villagers to be careful of the wild beasts on the mountain and to set up more traps on the mountain side to prevent tigers, leopards and jackals from hurting people.
If you find that the beast cannot be dealt with, go to Fucheng for help.
The villagers have some hunting experience, although not much, but they are not afraid of the attacks of wild beasts.
Follow the Lushan Mountain Col all the way to the west to exit Lushan, and after walking for a few miles, you will reach the official road.
On the official road, we met two or three waves of fleeing people one after another, all heading towards Jiangzhou.
Song Yang pointed out the road to the people, and continued to follow the official road southward, looking for traces of the tiger.
Yesterday in Douping Village, I really found a clue.
Farmers in Douping Village once saw traces of tigers in their fields to the west.
He Dayou followed the trail to Guandao.
It seems that the tiger has also targeted the people fleeing on official roads.
Once there are people who are alone, they will become the targets of tiger attacks.
"These footprints are from yesterday!"
After walking only three to five miles south, He Dayou discovered the tiger's traces. The footprints seemed to be those left yesterday.
The direction is to the farmland and woods to the west. It seems that tigers should hang around here.
Just as I was about to look west, I saw four more common people coming from the south.
Moreover, they all looked panicked, turning their heads and looking back from time to time, as if something was chasing them behind them.
"Go and respond!" Song Yang called to the guardsmen to come forward.
"You...who are you!"
Those four people looked like refugees at first glance, their bodies were in tatters and their faces were weathered.
Everyone on Song Yang's side was wearing a face scarf, steel knives hanging on their waists, and bows and arrows on their backs.
At first glance, looking at their attire, I thought they were gangsters.
"I am the bodyguard of the Prince of Jiangzhou. The Prince is right over there."
The guards identified themselves.
When the four common people heard this, they realized that the prince was here.
One by one, they knelt down and worshiped from afar.
"Long live the prince!"
"Hello, Your Majesty!"
"Good luck to you, Your Majesty!"
"My lord... have you eaten..."
The common people had never seen such a big figure as the prince. There were only four people in total, shouting four slogans.
"Your Majesty! Let's go quickly, there's a tiger in front of you and it's going to hurt someone!"
When the people saw the ceremony, they got up and said to Song Yang.
"Tiger! Where is it!"
When Song Yang heard about Tiger, he was not surprised but happy.
I came out this time to look for tigers. After two days of searching, I finally got some accurate information.
"Right over there! The tiger just dragged a man away!"
The people pointed behind them and said in panic.
"just?"
"Quick! Go to support!"
As soon as Song Yang heard this, he immediately asked someone to go over, saying that he also hurried over there.
They were out looking for tigers this time. In order to avoid being noticed by the tigers, they didn't even ride horses.
It's good now, I suddenly have to hurry and I can only run by my feet.
Of course, no one dares to relax. If you go there in time, you might be able to save someone's life.
The four common people saw that the prince's bodyguards were all armed and did not try to dissuade them too much.
Fang Zhe gave a few words of comfort, pointed out the location of Jiangzhou to the people, and let them leave first.
Song Yang came from behind and quickly ran ahead.
After running about two hundred meters along the official road, I found some fresh blood stains on the ground extending to the west.
Song Yang felt a shiver in his heart. It was estimated that the one who was dragged away by the tiger was in danger.
He held the steel knife in his hand with his backhand and chased into the grass to the west.
"My lord, be careful!" The guards also followed.
Entering the grass, you can immediately see a patch of overpowered grass.
Continuing to look forward, there were more bloodstains on the ground and the grass became more and more messy.
"This way!"
He Dayou was the first to discover the situation.
After passing through a waist-high wormwood field, I finally found a man lying on the ground in a relatively spacious area in front of me, breathing heavily.
"Brother! How are you?"
He Dayou was the first to run over, while Song Yang and the guards were guarding the surrounding area with weapons in hand.
"Ahem! Old man, hurry up, there's a tiger!"
When the man saw He Dayou, he immediately gathered his energy and said.
Song Yang put down his weapon and stepped forward to check the man's injuries.
One is on the shoulder, which should be a bite, and the other is on the chest, which is a scratch.
The wound wasn't very deep, but it was bleeding.
A large pool of blood could be seen underneath the man's body. This man's current weakness was also caused by the bleeding.
"Give me a hand and bandage his wounds first!"
Song Yang asked He Dayou to help the man up.
After I pulled off the man's clothes and bandaged him, I saw that this guy was covered in tendons.
Its strength is even worse than that of Yu Ming.
Moreover, his hands are covered with calluses, so he is obviously a practicing practitioner.
No wonder he managed to save his life from the tiger's mouth.
Soon, the wound was treated and Song Yang fed the man some water.
His complexion recovered slightly.
"Brother, where is the tiger?" Song Yang asked.
"I was injured, so he probably ran away..."
The man said weakly.
Song Yang was stunned. Did this man beat the tiger away?
He lost too much blood and the tiger didn't even come back to look for him. It seems that the tiger's injury was not serious!
"Your Majesty! You take him back first. I will lead people to chase the tiger!"
He Dayou also understands the principle of taking advantage of your illness to kill you. If a tiger is injured, it will not be able to go very far. Now is the time to catch up.
Just as he was talking, two guards came running over with Fang Zhe out of breath.
"You take him to Guandao, and we will chase the tiger!"
Song Yang didn't wait for Fang Zhe to answer and immediately followed He Dayou.
"This way!"
There were bloodstains along the way. It looked like the tiger was seriously injured!
"Ouch!"
After chasing less than a mile to the west, I heard the low roar of a tiger coming from the woods ahead.
"this……"
He Dayou was stunned when he heard the tiger's voice.
"What's wrong? What did you find?"
Song Yang frowned and set up his bow and arrow, ready to fire at any time.
"This tiger... seems to be dying!" He Dayou said with strange eyes.
"Huh? Almost dead?"
"Beat to death by that kid?"
Song Yang said in disbelief.
When he checked the man's injuries just now, he saw that he was doing it with bare hands.
Beat the tiger to death with your bare hands...
What level is this!
"Ouch~"
The tiger was still moaning softly in front.
He Dayou led everyone over quietly.
Sure enough, there was a tiger lying under the tree in front, with blood stains on its head and body.
Song Yang also saw clearly that it was a South China tiger that he had seen in the zoo before.
Seeing Song Yang and others approaching, Tiger wanted to stand up, but struggled for a while but failed.
Instead, he vomited blood again because of his struggle.
"He's really beaten to pieces! Talent! Talent!"
Song Yang looked at the dying tiger and admired the fierce tiger fighter again.
The sickly tiger was no match for the old hunter.
With one arrow, he killed the injured tiger without hesitation.
"My lord, this tiger has been injured before!"
He Dayou put the tiger down, went over to inspect it, and immediately discovered the abnormality.
There were obvious wounds on the tiger's hind legs, which appeared to have been scratched by sharp claws.
"It was other tigers who did it!" He Dayou confirmed.
Sure enough, there is more than one tiger near Jiangzhou Prefecture.
There have been several reports of refugees discovering tigers in different places.
Now it seems that there are at least two tigers in Jiangzhou Prefecture.
