Chapter 407: Fame due to tiger
Long before going down the mountain, Lu Cheng had already decided to ride a tiger down the mountain. This would not only shock everyone, but also calm everyone's panic as quickly as possible.
Although it is not convenient to ride this tiger for a long time and you cannot run while riding it, it is still okay to ride it and walk a few steps for a short period of time.
When Lu Cheng rode the tiger down the mountain and appeared in front of everyone, the effect was obvious.
Even Lai Fu and Lai Wang, who had seen Lu Cheng taming a tiger before, were greatly shocked when they saw Lu Cheng riding a tiger down the mountain. What about the others?
Even Wu Song, who was usually brave, couldn't help but feel nervous and became extremely alert when he saw the tiger appear.
Everyone's first reaction was panic, fear, and trepidation.
But when everyone saw Lu Cheng on the tiger's back, their panic and fear began to turn into surprise and admiration.
"Don't panic, everyone. I have tamed this tiger a long time ago. It is my pet and will not hurt anyone."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng turned over and jumped off the tiger's back. He patted the tiger's head, and the tiger immediately squatted down and stopped moving forward.
When everyone saw this, although they were still a little afraid, they already respected Lu Cheng as a god.
Wu Song loosened his weapon slightly, took a step forward, and clasped his hands together: "Master, you can actually subdue a tiger. You are truly a god!"
Others also spoke up: "The great official is like a god descended from heaven."
Lu Cheng waved his hand, then looked at the horses that were a little weak in the legs, and said, "Wu Song, with this tiger here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the horses to walk normally. You will lead the others to move forward later, and I will follow with this tiger."
"Yes, sir!"
In the carriage not far away, Jinlian lifted the curtain and looked at Lu Cheng and the tiger from afar. Her heart was full of ups and downs, and her admiration for Lu Cheng reached a new height.
After seeing Lu Cheng's ability to tame the tiger, everyone's admiration for Lu Cheng reached its peak. They said that Lu Cheng was a star god who had descended to earth or a reincarnated god, and they completely believed it.
Since ancient times, there have been many heroes who can hunt tigers, but those who can tame tigers only exist in legends.
One of the reasons why Lu Cheng brought the tiger back to Yuncheng was to become famous.
In this day and age, reputation still plays a very important role.
Just like Song Jiang in the original novel, he was clearly a prisoner who was exiled to Jiangzhou, but he was able to turn danger into safety many times and even gained a large group of younger brothers, all thanks to his reputation as a timely rain.
If word of taming a tiger spreads, it will definitely bring you great fame, and may even directly attract some people to join you.
Next, Lu Cheng temporarily separated from the crowd, keeping a distance of two or three miles, and followed from a distance.
After walking for more than a day, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at Lujiazhuang outside Yuncheng County.
Everyone waited for a while, until dusk, when they saw a man and a tiger walking side by side in the distance, heading towards this side.
For a moment, everyone in Lujia Village became nervous. Even though they knew in advance that their owner had tamed a tiger, when they actually saw the tiger appear, everyone was still nervous, fearing that the tiger would suddenly attack and hurt people.
Many people even took a few steps back unconsciously, hiding behind others, ready to escape at any time.
Lu Cheng did not bring the tiger to the crowd, but asked Lai Fu to inform Butler Sun to build a special shack for the tiger to live in near a forest outside Lujiazhuang.
The deterrent power of the king of beasts is so strong that the aura and roar he exudes are enough to scare away birds and beasts, and even kill some small animals directly.
The roar of a tiger can be heard two or three kilometers away even in the mountains and forests, and it has a strong penetrating and deterrent effect. This is because when a tiger roars, it emits a low-frequency infrasound wave. This infrasound wave is not easily absorbed by the air and spreads very quickly.
Even if small animals that are far away do not hear the tiger's roar directly, the low-frequency infrasound waves will pass through their pores, paralyzing their nerves like an electric shock and making the small animals unable to move.
There have been records since ancient times that some hunters would find that after a tiger roared, some birds or monkeys would inexplicably fall from the trees, and they thought that the small animals were frightened.
Perhaps, this can also be said to be blood suppression.
Because of this, Lu Cheng did not plan to keep this ferocious tiger on the farm, so as to avoid it causing chaos all day long and causing no peace.
Butler Sun also immediately made arrangements and prepared to build a temporary shed for the tiger overnight and then rebuild it tomorrow.
After temporarily settling the tiger down, Lu Cheng returned home, washed up, and had someone arrange accommodation and work for the Wu brothers and the people who followed them.
Since the construction of Lujiazhuang was completed, Huichuntang has transferred most of its production work to the manor.
In the entire Lujiazhuang, in addition to the core area where Lu Cheng and his family live, there are also peripheral new crop planting bases, medicine and perfume production bases, Chinese herbal medicine planting bases, etc.
After taking a walk and traveling for so many days, Lu Cheng decided to have a good rest at home for a while.
Just after Lu Cheng returned to Yuncheng County, the news about Mr. Lu taming a tiger spread immediately, and many people from nearby areas came to see the tiger tamed by Mr. Lu with their own eyes.
The first person to visit was Chao Gai, who had previously competed with Lu Cheng.
Early that morning, just after Lu Cheng had finished his breakfast, he heard someone outside report: "Master, Chao Gai and Chao Bao from Dongxi Village are here to visit."
"Oh? Please ask him to come in."
Soon, Chao Gai came with two servants and said, "Mr. Lu, how are you? I heard that you tamed a tiger, so Chao Gai came to see you."
"Chao Tianwang, please come in quickly. Please don't blame me for not welcoming you from far away."
"Chao Gai also came uninvited, and he was curious about the tiger."
"I have placed the tiger outside the manor. Since King Chao wants to see it, let's go and see it together."
Seeing that Lu Cheng was about to go out, Mr. Lu's newly appointed bodyguard Wu Song followed closely behind him.
Chao Gai looked Wu Song up and down and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a brave man you are. Mr. Lu, why don't you introduce me to the brother behind you?"
"This is a brother I met when I was traveling not long ago. His name is Wu Song. He has a similar temperament to mine, so I kept him by my side. Erlang, why don't you come over and meet Chao Gai, the Heavenly King?"
Wu Song clasped his fists and bowed, and said in a muffled voice: "Wu Song greets Chao Tianwang. I have heard of Chao Tianwang's great name for a long time. If you have time, please teach me a few moves."
Wu Song has not been following Lu Cheng for long, but he has already begun to learn to imitate Lu Cheng's style of speaking and doing things.
Especially after seeing Lu Cheng taming the tiger, Wu Song's admiration for Lu Cheng reached its peak, and he paid close attention to Lu Cheng's every move.
As soon as they walked out of the village, they saw two more people coming with gifts.
"Mr. Lu, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng are here to visit you."
With the establishment of Lujiazhuang, the Lu family's business grew bigger and bigger. In addition, Lu Cheng had a reputation for taming tigers, so the attitudes of the two captains of Yuncheng County towards Lu Cheng also changed.
When Chao Gai saw the two men, he laughed out loud: "Are you two captains here to see the tiger as well? It's a good opportunity for us to go together. Captain Lei is also known as the Winged Tiger. This time we can finally see a real tiger."
Lei Heng laughed: "Chao Tianwang, you are joking. I am a winged tiger, but I am praised by others. How can I be compared with a real tiger?"
The group of people complimented each other for a few words, Lu Cheng waved his hand, asked Lai Fu to accept the gift from Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, and asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and then led everyone to the location of the tiger...
