Many people, including Zhou Jiping, saw that this was a leopard. It was shorter and thicker than the fastest cheetah on the African grasslands. Even though it could not run as fast as the cheetah, from Yilin's perspective
During the explanation, Zhou Jiping learned that this kind of leopard is more cunning and terrifying than a cheetah. It often hides in trees. Whenever prey passes under the tree, it will silently jump down from a high place and bite off the prey's tail.
neck, and the prey will not know until it dies that the beast that took its life fell from the sky.
Under the guidance of tribal warriors, people came to a very dense pyrethrum bush. The bush was knee-deep. There was a sign of lodging in the middle of the flower. Judging from the degree of lodging of the plant, the leopard should be hiding here.
For several hours, it waited for what it thought was the best time to attack.
Behind a thatched cottage on the edge, Zhou Jiping saw the poor child. The lifeless body looked even weaker, the belly looked bigger due to the flatulence, the face was covered with blood and soil, and the lifeless eyes
Squinting, looking at the world in front of you aimlessly
Not far away, two mothers who had lost their children were crying. Several tribal women were watching over them and comforting them. More women looked at the chiefs and warriors with awe, hoping that these men could help their children.
Find the lost soul
Perhaps it was a man's protective instinct, or perhaps it was the cries of the two poor mothers. Zhou Jiping felt that he should do something. He squatted down and carefully looked at the ground where the murder had occurred. The dog captain said that as a scout,
, your eyes should be like a camera, not letting go of any clue you see.
There is no blood on the ground. This leopard did it really beautifully. The smell of blood will attract people's attention and will also attract dogs from the tribe. Why haven't the dogs from the tribe appeared? Nor have they called the police in advance? In Zhou Jiping's case,
In my memory, aren't there a few scrawny native dogs often wandering around the edges of the tribe?
In addition, why didn’t the children who were attacked cry out? Maybe, the leopard attacked one of them first, and while they were eating, another child came over, and the leopard attacked the other one again, Zhou Jiping guessed
Seeing Zhou Jiping carefully inspecting it, the chief also stopped and waited quietly. For a while, almost everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Jiping. Although most of them did not believe it, they still hoped that this white-skinned
Someone can tell them some good news
"How much does the leopard weigh?" Looking at the paw prints embedded in the soil, Zhou Jiping raised his head and asked Yilin. Only then did he realize that people were paying attention to him. Yilin couldn't answer, so he turned his attention to the chief. When the chief saw this, he called Yilin.
When they reached the scene, the two of them exchanged a few words before Yilin turned around and told Zhou Jiping: "It's probably heavier than the Damon people."
60 kilograms! Although Damon people are relatively tall, the weight of an adult man is at most this heavy. Although Zhou Jiping witnessed the leopard, he didn't pay attention to the size of this guy at all because he saw the child in its mouth. Now
Looking at the people and the leopard's footprints on the ground, Zhou Jiping judged that the leopard only weighed about 40 kilograms. It seemed to be very hungry, otherwise it might not have dared to attack the tribe.
Seeing the chief's questioning look, Zhou Jiping expressed his judgment. The surrounding tribal warriors nodded in agreement. Apparently these people could see more clearly.
But why didn't the dog call the police? Zhou Jiping asked his question and the answer left Zhou Jiping speechless. The dog had been eaten by people. Those dogs were originally raised for meat. When the dry season comes, there is a lack of food on the grassland.
The food hunted must be given priority to hunters. Most people don’t have enough to eat, let alone those dogs.
Zhou Jiping was speechless. The tribe lost two human lives due to several dog lives. This debt is really impossible to settle.
Seeing that Zhou Jiping seemed to be very concerned about this matter, the chief asked Zhou Jiping and some related people to come to the wooden shed square.
Seven or eight people were kneeling in the square, including men and women, soldiers and stewards, and Zomayo was among them. Most of them were usually not qualified to enter the square, so why did they all come in today? Zhou Jiping asked
At this moment, two of the chief's followers came over carrying two canes. Only then did Yi Lin tell Zhou Jiping that the chief was going to flog those who neglected their duties today.
"Why?" Zhou Jiping was puzzled.
Yilin said: "Let the leopard enter the tribe and eat the people, and also let the leopard escape from them."
"Are you going to hit me too?" Zhou Jiping couldn't help but think to himself.
The chief spoke. In this case of leopard cannibalism, several stewards were punished the most. Among them, Zomayo, the livestock steward Tabola and the other two women who were responsible for taking care of the children were to be beaten ten times. The remaining warriors were beaten six times by the original tribe.
The child was under the care of a dedicated person. The two women responsible for the care were grossly negligent in their duties, and Zomayo and Tabora were not well guarded. They would have received the heaviest punishment even if the leopard escaped from them.
The thorn sticks were waved, and the tortured people's backs were bloody and bloody. Zhou Jiping saw that he was terrified, barbaric, really barbaric. However, looking at the expressions of those who were tortured, they did not seem to be resentful about being tortured, and they were executed as if they deserved to be tortured.
After that, someone brought some healing herbal juice and smeared it on the backs of those who were being tortured.
The chief spoke again, this time to Chief Zhou Jiping, who asked Zhou Jiping, Anka, and Zube to be responsible for the defense of the tribe. The leopard cannibalism cannot happen again. If it happens again, they will be punished more severely.
This is definitely a challenging task for Zhou Jiping, but it may not be an opportunity.
————A group of soldiers stood under the poisonous sun, standing in a horse stance, with four bricks sandwiched between their forearms and four bricks between their knees—this was to practice climbing as a scout.
Basic skills, compulsory courses
Gradually, some people could no longer hold on, and sweat flowed down the bricks between their arms. The bricks seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms...
Crash - clatter - once the bricks between the arms fell, the knees could not be clamped at all. People kept sitting down slumped, relaxing their muscles with grinning teeth.
Ah - some soldiers roared with regret, gave up their efforts helplessly, sat down on the ground and gasped for air, the muscles on their arms and thighs trembling.
Five minutes passed, ten minutes, thirteen minutes... only two people were still holding on.
Now Captain Dog and Zhou Jiping can see each other's expressions. Their sweat has soaked the outermost brick, and their whole bodies are trembling. The only difference is that Captain Dog keeps murmuring in his mouth, unknowingly.
What? But Zhou Jiping stared wide-eyed and gritted his teeth, making the soldiers standing under the sun feel cold.
Ah - Captain Dog roared, all the bricks fell to the ground, and he fell backwards. The soldiers rushed up to him, helped him up with all their hands, and massaged his twitching muscles.
Well - Zhou Jiping was briefly distracted, immediately brought his thoughts back, and continued to support with trembling body
——"This kid is crazy. He is working so hard and is worse than an old dog!" Huriga exclaimed.
——"What the hell are you talking about?" Captain Dog raised his hand tremblingly and gave Huriga a brain adze.
Zhou Jiping knows what he is doing. He is persisting and persisting, even if the result of persistence is that the last bad luck passes and the next bad luck comes...
——Friends who want to lose weight can try the above method. The effect is definitely better than hiding oil, and it can enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
