Chapter 104 Target: Golmud, Qinghai
When the Fish Intestine Sword touched the tiger's wound, it visibly trembled.
Cheng Feng's hands were very steady; he quickly removed the bullet from the wound.
And it hasn't caused much damage yet.
After the foreign object was removed from the muscle, the tiger turned its head and licked Cheng Feng's hand a few times with its barbed tongue.
"Good heavens, those two blows could have torn a layer of flesh off an ordinary person!"
Cheng Feng chuckled and patted the tiger's head, then sheathed his sword and stood up.
"This is not a place to stay for long. You should return to the deep mountains as soon as possible. That is your territory."
As Cheng Feng spoke, Tiger stood up.
Just as Cheng Feng was about to say goodbye to this tiger he had a connection with, the tiger bit Cheng Feng's clothes and pulled him to the side.
Where do you want to take me?
Tiger loosened Cheng Feng's clothes, then turned around, took two steps, and looked back at Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng gestured to Chen Wenjin and the others in the woods, signaling them to keep their distance and follow.
Then they followed the tiger into the woods on one side.
The tiger's injury did not affect it much, and it still moved nimbly through the woods.
The man and the tiger traveled two miles along the mountain path, with Chen Wenjin and the others following far behind Cheng Feng.
Soon, the tiger stopped beside a huge rock, and Cheng Feng came closer and understood the tiger's intention.
At this moment, a small tiger, about half a meter tall, was lying next to the boulder.
Perhaps sensing that other creatures besides its mother were approaching, the tiger cub struggled to prop itself up.
It barked at Cheng Feng twice in a childish voice, but quickly calmed down.
Cheng Feng noticed that the tiger cub's lower body seemed to be unable to move, so he frowned slightly and squatted down to check it.
I gently pressed down on its waist twice and came to a conclusion.
The little tiger was kicked in the waist by someone who was skilled in legwork.
This caused damage to its lumbar spine, and at this point, its hind limbs had completely lost sensation.
"I understand now why you were so determined to kill those people, but this little guy's injuries are too severe."
I don't know if I can save it.
Cheng Feng didn't care whether the tiger could understand him or not; he simply told the tiger the truth.
The tiger let out a low growl, then picked up the cub and placed it at Cheng Feng's feet.
"Are you trying to get me to try?"
Just as Cheng Feng was about to bleed out some blood to see if it would have any effect on the tiger cub, the big tiger suddenly ran forward a few steps.
Just as its figure was about to be completely obscured by the trees, it turned back for one last reluctant look at the little tiger.
He then yelled at Cheng Feng as a farewell before leaving the place completely.
"So you're just dumping the kid on me to raise."
After silently muttering a complaint, Cheng Feng still squatted down and picked up the little tiger.
"Little tiger, open your mouth, Uncle will give you something good to eat!"
Cheng Feng scratched the little tiger's chin with his finger, making the little guy squint his eyes comfortably.
Then Cheng Feng pressed his index finger against his teeth.
After the blood flowed out, Cheng Feng opened the tiger cub's mouth with one hand and dripped the blood into its mouth drop by drop.
The little tiger realized it was eating something good, and without Cheng Feng's help, it automatically opened its mouth to receive the blood.
Cheng Feng's wounds began to heal quickly.
The little tiger smacked its lips, tilted its head, and crawled into Cheng Feng's clothes to sleep.
Cheng Feng has no way to check the tiger cub's condition right now, so he can only leave it like this for now and see if he can find a veterinarian after they get out.
A short while later, Chen Wenjin and the others also caught up.
When they got to Cheng Feng's side, they saw the little tiger he was holding in his arms.
"There's even a tiger cub! Where did the mother tiger go?"
Chen Wenjin was somewhat envious of the little thing in Cheng Feng's hand, but because its mother was too imposing, she didn't dare to touch it.
Cheng Feng patted the little tiger's firm bottom helplessly and said:
"This little thing injured its lumbar spine and, in the eyes of the big tiger, could no longer survive in the wild, so it entrusted it to me."
Everyone was somewhat shocked after hearing Cheng Feng's explanation.
"That tiger must be some kind of spirit, it even knows how to entrust its young to someone else?"
Huo Ling stared wide-eyed in surprise.
"This is what they call animism. Alright, let's keep going and get out of here as soon as possible."
Then Cheng Feng carried the little tiger and walked back the way they came with the others.
As dawn broke, Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin, and Huo Ling returned to the city.
Han Qing and his brothers from the Unloading Ridge faction had already separated beforehand, otherwise it would have been too conspicuous for a dozen or so people to travel together.
To hide the tiger cub, Cheng Feng specially made a bamboo basket, put the tiger cub inside, and carried it on his back.
The three of them discreetly arrived at the front of a courtyard, and at Cheng Feng's prompting, Chen Wenjin stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, noises came from inside.
"Who?"
As they were talking, the door opened, and his expression changed when he saw Cheng Feng.
They immediately led the three people into the courtyard and then closed the door.
Upon entering the house, the man knelt on one knee and said:
"Lin Twelve, a disciple of the Unloading Ridge Sect, greets the Chief Commander."
Cheng Feng put the basket on the ground and looked at Lin Twelve:
"Get up. You don't need to perform this grand ceremony again. Just keep the respect in your heart."
"Yes, Chief!"
Lin Shier stood up and bowed his head in response.
Cheng Feng continued, "We've been targeted by a group of people during this operation, so I plan to leave Changchun as soon as possible."
"What does the commander need his men to do? Please give the order!"
Cheng Feng then explained his plan.
"I have some gold here; go and exchange it for money."
Then help me buy some materials and three train tickets from Changchun to Qinghai.
Cheng Feng took out a gold brick that he had left behind beforehand.
This gold brick weighs over a pound, and if converted into money, it would be a considerable sum, enough for Cheng Feng and his two companions to use on their journey.
Lin Shier accepted the gold brick with both hands and then left home to take care of the matter.
"Please don't be shy, make yourselves at home, and rest when you need to."
Cheng Feng's words made Chen Wenjin sigh:
"I really don't understand how you cultivated such loyal subordinates. Their genuine respect is so obvious."
Cheng Feng was pleased with Chen Wenjin's words.
There's nothing I can do, buddy, he's got a cheat code. It's destiny, something others can only envy.
"Hurry up and get some rest, you're going to be on the train again soon, don't complain about your sore butt again."
During this period, people who traveled long distances were practically superhuman; apart from a few high-ranking officials who could get sleeper berths,
Ordinary people endure a journey of several days and nights sitting in hard-seat trains.
When getting off the bus, it felt like my buttocks had disappeared, not just one or two.
Around noon, Lin Shier returned home carrying a large package.
He took out a wad of cash and three train tickets from his pocket and handed them to Cheng Feng, then said:
"Chief, everything you need is here. The ticket is for tomorrow morning."
"it is good!"
After accepting the gifts, Cheng Feng continued:
"There's one more thing I need you to do."
Cheng Feng didn't need to be polite with these Xieling brothers; he simply gave the order:
"Notify our brothers that nine men should come to see me tomorrow morning. The rest of you, take care of things here."
Then they dispersed and moved to Golmud, Qinghai.
