Chapter 155 Tiger Totem

When Wang Qibu and his party went down the mountain to return to the villa, everyone gave up entertainment and waited in the living room. Of course, some people felt that even if you were the prince, we were asked to line up to welcome him twice in this day. No one told me. Wang Qibu also found that there were two more faces in the room besides the previous yamen, and he sat in the room with some disagreement.

"Seven Steps are back, how about it?" Cao Yan, who dared not be proud of himself, asked before Wang Qi's advance. As for Zhou Qi, he just implicitly used his eyes to indicate.

"I'm lost." Wang Qibu spread his hands, but he tried his best. So he had no choice but to do anything about this.

"By the way, Qibu, these two are comrades from the Forestry Bureau. Do you need to take a break before introducing the situation to them?" It was not beyond what Wang Qibu expected. Cao Yan faced Wang Qibu, who must be recommended by someone from the Forestry Bureau cadres.

"Thank you for your hard work, two comrades, I'm really troubled you." Wang Qibu first greeted those two, and then said to Cao Yan, "I'm not very tired, so I won't rest anymore. Let's introduce the situation to the comrades from the Forestry Bureau first."

"No, no, no, no, no," said the leader who shook hands with Wang Qibu quickly. He probably knew what the people sitting in this room were. So let alone show his style of leadership, even if he did not show any fear in ancient times, he could be considered disrespectful.

In fact, Wang Qibu is not a polite person. After all, he didn't even ask the other party's name. However, being able to do rude things while making the other party feel that he is polite, can't be said to be not a skill.

"It is now certainly an adult tiger, weighing about 500 kilograms. It's not huge. By the way, what kind of breed is the tiger that can appear in this place?" Wang Qibu narrated, and asked the other party about the unclear place.

In fact, this kind of advice is more polite than anything else. The two grassroots cadres like the Forestry Bureau leaders benefited, and then said, "This is really hard to say. By the way, have you seen a tiger with your own eyes? Of course, I don't believe you when I ask this, but I just want to judge that it is a tiger breed." The Forestry Bureau leaders said it very carefully and tried to be as rigorous as possible.

"I took it back when I saw it." Shen Qingge said this. In fact, this failed hunting still caused a certain blow to him, who had always been a child who grew up in the mountains.

"Uh, that's it. If we haven't seen it, it's hard to make a conclusion. After all, where this tiger comes from remains to be verified. First of all, I can say that there are no tigers in the local area. Not to mention the Republic of China, even in the past, there are no tigers around the capital. So whether it is because of the warming climate, the migration of South China tigers in the south, or the loss of tigers in circus? These are possible. However, as long as it is a tiger, even the domesticated tiger will return to the law of the jungle after it is fed by humans, it will hurt people or even hurt people.

People eat people. So it is actually a very dangerous thing for you to chase tigers like this today." After answering Wang Qibu's question, the cadres of the Forestry Bureau did not forget to warn him. After all, tigers are not new in China. Or it can be said that tigers are actually one of the totems of the Chinese nation. For example, three people become tigers in the Warring States Period, attacking each other. In order to make everyone truly abide by the promise of trust, countries usually hand the prince over to the other party as hostages. "Warring States Policy": "Wei Ce" has such a record:

Pang Cong, the minister of Wei State, was about to accompany the Prince of Wei to Zhao State as hostages. Before leaving, he said to the King of Wei:

"Now there is a person who says there are tigers in the street market. Can the king believe it?"

King Wei said: "I don't believe it."

Pang Cong said: "If a second person says there is a tiger in the street market, can the king believe it?"

King Wei said: "I am a little skeptical."

Pang Cong said again: "If a third person says there is a tiger in the street market, will the king believe it?"

King Wei said: "Of course I will believe it."

Pang Cong said: "There will be no tigers in the street market. This is very obvious, but after three people said that, it seems that there are indeed

The tiger is gone. Now the capital of Zhao State is Handan, which is farther from the capital of Wei State is Daliang, and it is much further away from the street market here. There are more people talking about me.

Three. I hope the king will be able to observe clearly.”

King Wei said: "I know everything myself."

Pang Cong accompanied the prince back to the country, but the King of Wei did not summon him again.

The city is a place with a concentrated population, so of course there will be no tigers. It is obvious that there are tigers in the city to spread rumors and deceive, but many people do this

As mentioned, if you don’t look at the problem from the truth of things, you will often believe it.

This story was originally a satirical mockery of King Hui of Wei, but later generations extended this story to become the idiom "Three people become tigers",

It is a metaphor for sometimes rumors that can cover up the truth. For example, judging the authenticity of a thing must be carefully examined.

And thinking, you cannot hear from others. Otherwise, "three people become tigers", and sometimes you will mistake rumors for the truth.

Another medicine king Sun Simiao was suddenly stopped by a tiger on his way to the mountains to collect herbs. The tiger was right in front, and it was impossible to escape. The medicine king carried a long shoulder pole for carrying herbs, but it was not easy to deal with the tiger with this clumsy shoulder pole. He was at a loss and stared at the tiger in fear. What was strange was that the tiger did not pounce on him. On the contrary, it opened its mouth wide and squatted on the ground. It stared at the medicine king with a sad look as if begging for something, and kept waving its head gently. The medicine king was shocked by the scene in front of him. He slowly approached the giant creature in front of him. He saw a huge animal bone piercing deeply into the tiger's throat. The kind medicine king wanted to help it and remove the bone for it, but he
