Chapter 0760 – Hurtful Parting (III)

“Geshan, come and help, use the gun to hit it! That’s a leopard, it will bite all our cows and sheep to death.”

In this small village under the big snowy mountain, due to the large number of small animals on the mountain, especially in the summer, it is rare to see jackals, wolves, leopards and other beasts that like to steal cows and sheep, that is why Baju didn’t carry a gun when she was grazing.

In order to protect the village cattle and sheep and Tibetan mastiff, Ba Zhu hand holding a machete, bravely met the snow leopard.

People living on the grassland know that although the Tibetan mastiff is said to be able to fight with tigers, wolves, lions and leopards, but at most it is able to fight with prairie wolves, and lions and tigers and leopards such beasts compared to the difference is not a star and a half.

Ba Zhu understands that only by himself and two Tibetan mastiffs, is not able to fight this adult snow leopard, is to loudly greet Gesang, let him take the gun to fight the leopard, living in this small mountain village, naturally do not know what is called animal protection law.

“Ba Zhu, this is not an ordinary leopard, it is the guardian deity of the Great Snow Mountain.”

Gesang pulled Ba Zhu with one hand, thinking that since he had promised Zhuang Rui, he could simply start brainwashing Ba Zhu from Ba Zhu!

Compared to these village people who rarely go out of the mountains, Gesang has traveled to several cities in Sichuan and Yunnan, and is considered a knowledgeable person in the village, although Gesang doesn’t really believe in Zhuang Rui’s words, but Zhuang Rui’s said compensation method, but let Gesang heart moved.

To know, the village of cattle and sheep, in addition to the New Year’s festivals, in addition to their own slaughter, is taken out to exchange for firewood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar, vinegar, tea and other objects, although the people outside are also Tibetans, will not pit the village, but barter, relatively speaking, than to sell the money is much less.

A year down, remove the village must be expenses, the whole village dozens of families income, but is just a few tens of thousands of dollars, the average down to a family of more than 1,000 dollars.

If Zhuang Rui can really according to his own words, do not need to give every year, is a one-time to give a 200,000, then the village even with cows and sheep to raise this leopard, and what is the harm?

“Gesang, are you out of your mind? This is a leopard! It’s the leopard that scourged our cows and sheep, you …… you say it’s the guardian god of the snowy mountains?”

As the only one in the village who is out there, Gesang is usually still very respected, isn’t it the mountaineering team that brings in, and can also make some money for the village, but at this moment what he said, let that grazing Ba Zhu completely unable to accept.

“Ba Zhu, what I said is true, look, didn’t that snow leopard not go to pounce on our cattle and sheep? Look again, isn’t that one the legendary guardian deity of the sacred mountain.”

Facts speak louder than words, the snow leopard in Zhuang Rui’s appeasement, and did not go to chase and bite the scattered cattle and sheep, only to the two Tibetan mastiffs in front of some vigilance, but not much in the eyes.

After all, there is a white lion kind of fighting strength of Tibetan mastiff, this world is estimated to be only one, even if it is considered by the Tibetans is the guardian god of the snowy mountains of the snow mastiff, but also far less than the white lion.

“Snow Leopard, go and drive those cows and sheep, back, remember, don’t hurt them.”

Zhuang Rui in order to deepen the prestige of the snow leopard, gave an order that sounded unimaginable to others, to know, this kind of work, generally are Tibetan mastiffs do.

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s order, the snow leopard throat issued a low growl, the body like a sword general scampered out, in the twinkling of an eye rushed to the front of those cattle and sheep, with paws and roar, intimidated the flock have turned their heads, to the herdsmen to run.

Even if there are cows and sheep that run far away, in the speed is also far less than Xiao Xue, but seven or eight minutes of work, those scattered cows and sheep, all were driven back, only the body is shivering, no longer run because they are resigned to their fate.

Not only is the Ba Zhu look dumbfounded, is Zhuang Rui also did not expect, the snow leopard really have a few Tibetan mastiff potential, although do not do the Tibetan mastiff to serve the sheep with virtue, but with the force of the sheep, is the performance of the best.

“Is …… this …… true?”

Ba Zhu is also somewhat confused, the memory of the snow leopard is a very cruel beast, but the scene in front of him but let him have to believe that this adult snow leopard, indeed fulfill the duties of the Tibetan mastiff.

BaZhu rough point check, just ran lost cattle and sheep, actually all to drive back, even the Tibetan mastiff, also can not do so quickly.

Just now Gesang and Ba Zhu’s conversation, has been using the Tibetan language, until these few sentences stuttering words, said Zhuang Rui can understand, at that moment Zhuang Rui patted the snow leopard, said: “small snow, go to smell the smell of his body, do not bite it later.”

The snow leopard walked to the side of Ba Zhu who had become a bit dumbfounded in a big way, and after sniffing on Ba Zhu with its nose, it turned around and returned to Zhuang Rui’s side, and lay down on the ground in a very well-behaved manner.

The two village Tibetan mastiffs, in the white lion’s discipline, this will also be much more honest, although the gaze toward the snow leopard is still full of hostility, but there is no intention to go forward to fight for their lives.

“Brother Ba Zhu, this is the living Buddha dreamed to me, in the future it will be the guardian deity of the Great Snow Mountain, and it is also my friend, in the winter, I hope that the village can use cattle and sheep to feed it, as for these expenses, I will pay for it.”

Zhuang Rui, with the appearance of a godly man, repeated to Ba Zhu what he and Gesang had said, but unfortunately, the Chinese that Ba Zhu knew was very limited, and in the end it was Gesang who translated for him.

And then Ba Zhu saw the snow mastiff, which is the legendary guardian god, but also the Tibetans are convinced, Ba Zhu quickly went up to kneel, in the hearts of these Tibetans, they worship is not the Tibetan mastiff’s body, but the heart of the Buddha.

Zhuang Rui saw Ba Zhu on the snow leopard to take over the guardian god of this matter, or not really believe, on the contrary, the snow mastiff did not do anything to perform a great salute, after thinking for a while, lowered his head to the snow leopard, said: “small snow, go, and the snow close to go down.”

The size of the snow are female, these two days after the elimination of hostility, but also often will be a little physical contact, for the small snow’s gesture of goodwill, the snow mastiff is also very intimate with the tongue to return a little bit, but this can annoy the white lion, rushed to the small snow roared, drove it back to Zhuang Rui side.

Seeing this scene, is no longer by the Ba Zhu do not believe, in the Gesang and Suo Nan’s a force to prove, Ba Zhu finally also to the snow leopard kneeling salute.

Zhuang Rui in a side to see the heart straight hair happy, estimated in Tibet this place, the little snow is absolutely the first to be worshipped, become similar to the totem-like existence of the leopard.

“Big brother Ba Zhu, you also return to the village with us!”

On the way out, Zhuang Rui abducted Ba Zhu again, believing that two village people talking is much better than Geshan explaining alone.

After more than half an hour, Zhuang Rui let Ba Zhu first drive cattle and sheep, into the village, he is trying to let Ba Zhu cattle and sheep are driven back to the sheep pen, save the snow leopard into the village, and then make a big commotion.

But even so, the commotion is not small, because the village of those Tibetan mastiffs, smelled the snow leopard odor, have low roar up, desperately running to the village entrance, even their master, at the moment is also unable to stop.

Snow leopard and Tibetan mastiff, in a sense, one is to protect human cattle and sheep, one is to cattle and sheep for food, the two are natural enemies, can not coexist, which is also the snow mastiffs in the snowy mountains and snow leopards tearing the reason.

More than ten Tibetan mastiffs run wildly, roar in unison, that kind of formation is not small, although there is Zhuang Rui’s appeasement, the snow leopard also began to be uneasy, the throat constantly issued a low roar, if not Zhuang Rui wrapped around its neck, the small snow designation turn around to the snowy mountains run.

“White lion, go manage ……”

Looking at the raging Tibetan mastiff group, Zhuang Rui also a little shudder, if you let these guys rushed over, absolutely will even self together to tear into pieces, the past few days on their own body is not less stained leopard odor.

“Oooo …… ow ow!”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, the white lion jumped out without hesitation and blocked the group of Tibetan mastiffs, the hairs on its neck stood up, and a sky-shaking roar came from its throat.

The Tibetan Mastiffs were shocked by the White Lion’s roar, but when they looked at the Snow Leopard, they started to get manic again.

A Tibetan Mastiff that looked like the leader also let out a roar from its mouth, but it was obvious that it didn’t dare to provoke the white lion, but instead circled around from the white lion, wanting to go around the white lion to attack the snow leopard.

“Ow-woo!”

There was actually a Tibetan Mastiff that disobeyed itself, which made the White Lion feel like it had lost face in front of Zhuang Rui, after letting out a roar, the White Lion’s huge body violently pounced over, slapping a paw on that Tibetan Mastiff’s head, followed by a lightning-like use of its mouth, biting down on that Tibetan Mastiff’s throat.

“White lion, don’t bite it to death ……”

Zhuang Rui startled, buddies let you go to say and, how to move the gas hand ah? And it is still fighting in the nest?

In fact, this is Zhuang Rui do not know the habits of the Tibetan mastiff, will have this idea.

Every Tibetan mastiff group, there is a mastiff king, in this Tibetan mastiff colony, all the Tibetan mastiffs have to obey the mastiff king’s orders, as for who can become the mastiff king, depending on who is the most ferocious, and every Tibetan mastiff in the herd, in the feeling that they can become the mastiff king, also can be to the current mastiff king to issue a challenge.

If the challenge is successful, can become the new mastiff king, the old mastiff king will leave in disgrace, if the challenge fails, the challenger either die, or also leave the mastiff group.

In the Tibetan mastiff group, the mastiff king’s command is the highest instruction, every Tibetan mastiff must unconditionally obey, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to the mastiff king.

Although the white lion is ferocious, but it came to the village, and did not challenge the mastiff group of mastiff king, that is to say, those Tibetan mastiffs are afraid of it, but will not obey it, want to obtain the mastiff group of the right to speak, then you must first defeat the current mastiff king.

This is for the white lion, really an exceptionally easy thing, just a minute of time, the crowd has not reacted, the original black hair covered Tibetan mastiff, has been in the white lion’s mouth under the wail.

“Ow well!”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, the white lion loosened its mouth, long whistling up, and the presence of more than ten Tibetan mastiffs, in addition to the snow mastiffs, are lying down, said to the white lion’s submissive, the scene is quite let a person look at the blood boiling.

At this time the village people see the Tibetan mastiffs have to run out, also feel the wrong, coupled with the Ba Zhu into the village after shouting, many people have flocked to the village entrance this side, to see the white lion great power of the scene.

Of course, the snow mastiff is considered to be the guardian god of the snowy mountains, and Zhuang Rui behind the snow leopard, were also found by the villagers, which caused a commotion, they do not know whether to worship the snow mastiff, or to go home to get a gun to hit the snow leopard?

As for the snow leopard why so honest, this is not a person to think, leopard jackal, in the prairie, will always be the natural enemy of the herders.

“Brother Gesang, it’s your turn.”

Zhuang Rui bent down and hugged the snow leopard’s neck, raised his head and greeted Gesang.

Gesang smiled bitterly at the words, this fact was just too damn hard to explain, I’m afraid that at the beginning of the speech, he would definitely be treated as a psychopath by these folks.

Sure enough, after Gesang and the crowd exchange, the villagers face are showing a look of consternation plus contempt, none of them believe what Gesang said, yelling loudly over there.

Zhuang Rui knew that they do not believe, have the intention to go up to explain, but no language barrier, also do not know what they say, can not help but a little depressed.

After a while, that old village chief also came over, after listening to Gesang’s words, the reaction is especially fierce, actually took the cane to go to hit Gesang, scared Gesang quickly ran to Zhuang Rui side, said: “small …… small Zhuang, this thing I can’t do it, they don’t believe in anyone ah! ”

Just in time, this will Ba Zhu drove the cattle and sheep back to the circle, also came to the village entrance, Zhuang Rui quickly shouted, “Ba Zhu, Ba Zhu big brother, you come to give an explanation ah!”

Baju personally saw the snow leopard to help retrieve the cattle and sheep, and see it and the snow mastiff attitude intimate, for Zhuang Rui said the living Buddha dream saying, but is believed eight or nine percent, after hearing the words of Zhuang Rui, with Tibetan and their own village inside the people, exchanging up.

This time the village people did not show angry look, because a person said, they can not believe, but has always been honest Ba Zhu also said so, let them doubt.

And the white lion to stop the mastiffs and snow leopards kill, also let the crowd feel puzzled, in their view, the white lion is also belongs to the Buddha mount a class of beasts, originally should be and snow leopard is a natural enemy, now so maintain the snow leopard, let them confused.

“That snow leopard, really helped you retrieve the cows and sheep?”

The old village chief asked a follow-up question to Ba Zhu, this thing is too bizarre, but it may also be true that it is a Buddhist metaphor, the person who can make the snow leopard not eat cattle and sheep, only the Buddha can do it.

If by Zhuang Rui know the old village head in the heart of the idea, guaranteed that he can be happy blossom, this a big fool, actually give themselves a whole such a high identity, more than the living Buddha are powerful.

Ba Zhu is a truthful person, will not say nonsense, after hearing the words of the old village chief, very honestly back: “Uncle, this is true, I saw it with my own eyes, Ba Zhu can swear to the living Buddha.”

The old village chief shook his head at his words, he still couldn’t believe such an outrageous thing, after thinking for a while, the old village chief waved his hand at Gesang who ran to Zhuang Rui’s side and said, “Gesang, the guardian deity of the snowy mountains, is going to protect us. If this leopard, can walk around us without harming us, then I’ll believe it, and we’ll provide for it in the future.”

Just now, the old village headman also heard Gesang’s words, and knew that if the village offered the snow leopard some cows and sheep in the winter when the snow closed the mountains in the future, it would get a considerable sum of money, so that’s why he made such a remark.

After Gesang heard, immediately translated to Zhuang Rui, this day he was an eye-opener, from the snow leopard to the golden eagle, all of them showed obedience to Zhuang Rui, which made Gesang deep down, almost think that Zhuang Rui is the reincarnation of the living Buddha.

“Gesang, ask them if they aren’t afraid?”

Zhuang Rui is afraid that some people will attack the snow leopard first, then he is also unable to stop the snow leopard in self-defense!

“Not afraid, we Tibetans won’t be afraid of it.”

Gesang gave Zhuang Rui’s answer after exchanging words with the old village chief, but the old village chief still let some children under the age of ten, all return to the village.

Those present were all good hunters, even if they were attacked by the snow leopard, three or two blows still wouldn’t kill them, enough for the people next to them to kill the snow leopard with their guns.

“Hey, then this is a good thing to do, the living Buddha’s designated guardian deity, of course it won’t harm the people it guards.”

Zhuang Rui smiled greatly, at that moment, he did another godly deed, reached out and stroked the snow leopard’s head, pointed at the people in the village, and said, “Little Snow, go and smell the odor on them, when you see them on the snowy mountains in the future, don’t attack them oh!”

The snow leopard had never seen so many people before, in fact it was scared in its heart, hesitant and refused to go forward, finally under the temptation of Zhuang Rui’s aura and the command of words, it finally burrowed into the crowd, sniffed on everyone, and when it walked to the side of the old village headman, it even stuck out its tongue and licked the old village headman’s hand.

Although everyone present was scared lightly, but after this toss, they are but believe the words of Gesang, suddenly cheered loudly, under the leadership of the old village chief, actually really to the snow leopard kneeling salute.

Zhuang Rui side of Peng Fei, see the straight want to laugh, secretly to Zhuang Rui erected a big finger, in Zhuang Rui ear whispered: “Zhuang brother, you really can fool ……”

“Go aside, brother is doing serious things!” Zhuang Rui held back his laughter and glared at Peng Fei.

At this time, that old village chief actually called out all the children of the village, knowing that it was a great blessing to see the divine beasts on the snowy mountains.

Being Zhuang Rui aura moisturized snow leopard, also very give face, to every child sniff, some bold children, and even reached out to touch up the snow leopard’s hair, fortunately this big cat did not get angry.

In this way, the whole village for the snow leopard is the snow mountain guardian god of the ghost, is convinced, and Zhuang Rui as a person who can communicate with the snow leopard, but also to get the respect of the village.

This is already almost noon, those doctors if not waiting for Zhuang Rui back, would have left here yesterday, now all packed, Zhuang Rui politely declined the old village chief’s stay, with the white lion two, is ready to go out of the mountain.

Accompanied by two of the village’s strongest villagers, they are to follow Zhuang Rui to the county town, to pick up the money that Zhuang Rui promised, this is also the villagers recognize the identity of the snow leopard is crucial one.

“Ga …… Ga ……”

Just when Zhuang Rui was sent to the mountain pass by the villagers, the sky suddenly came the call of the golden eagle, two divine golden eagles, swooped down from the sky, one landed on the ground beside Zhuang Rui, and the other smaller in size, actually landed directly on Zhuang Rui’s shoulder.

“Holy shit, you’re not light!”

Zhuang Rui was dragged forward several steps by this female eagle with swooping power before he could stabilize his body.

“Ga……”

The mother eagle looked at the backpack on Zhuang Rui’s chest and called out.

Zhuang Rui knew that it was trying to take another look at its own child, and hurriedly released the little thing, the mother eagle unwillingly used its own head, couldn’t stop rubbing the body of the little one, the emotion that flowed out of its eyes made Zhuang Rui almost regard the golden eagles as a human being.

The sudden appearance of the two golden eagles, let the village people and panic for a while, due to the Ba Zhu has about the golden-winged roc king’s explanation, the ground is again kneeling a circle of people, Zhuang Rui simply discuss the matter, the golden eagles are also included in the winter village cattle and sheep were scourged in the ranks.

In the many years to come, this village has a thing that makes outsiders very puzzled.

Is every winter the coldest time, there is always so a snow leopard strutting to the village to capture cattle and sheep, the sky will also have a big eagle from time to time, will be the little lamb captured, and the village people actually do nothing about it.

This thing later spread throughout the grassland, but only a very few people, know the real reason.

After making out with the chicks for a while, the two golden eagles lifted their wings and flew up into the sky, but all the time they hovered above the people, no matter how Zhuang Rui waved his hand, they refused to leave for a long time.

“Snow Leopard, I’m leaving, remember, you’re not allowed to hurt the people in this village in the future!”

Compared to those two golden eagles, what Zhuang Rui was most reluctant to part with was the snow leopard that had been following him, this little guy who was obviously not very old was very much to Zhuang Rui’s liking.

However, the outside world is ultimately the human world, the snow leopard out of the end, Zhuang Rui can imagine, not in their own courtyard to do a trapped beast, is in the zoo to let people visit, so Zhuang Rui or decided to let the snow leopard to stay in the snowy mountains, to stay in the prairie, to do a real king of the snowy mountains.

“Ow …… ow ……”

The snow leopard doesn’t quite understand the meaning of Zhuang Rui’s words, still closely follow behind Zhuang Rui, in its thinking, Zhuang Rui is like its relatives in general, Zhuang Rui to where, it will follow to where.

“Little Snow, go back, the outside world, it’s not for you to go, go back to the Great Snow Mountain, be your King of the Snow Mountain!”

Zhuang Rui suddenly got angry, pointing his finger at the snowy mountain, roaring loudly, his outburst, startled Little Snow, his body backed up a few steps, as if he understood something.

However, after a short period of shock, Snow Leopard still walked to Zhuang Rui’s side, gently biting the hem of Zhuang Rui’s clothes with his teeth, pulling him back vigorously, a look of infinite longing in his eyes.

“Little Snow, I’m sorry, I really can’t take you away, go back! The Great Snow Mountain is your home.”

Zhuang Rui’s voice choked as he spoke, tears could not stop gushing out furiously, hugging the snow leopard like a child and crying.

Zhuang Rui could feel the snow leopard’s attachment to him, likewise, his heart, which would be like a knife cut.
