Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
The next day, at five o'clock in the morning.
Before dawn, Su Yan and Su Yu quietly went into the mountains carrying large baskets.
Su Yu carried one on his back and held another in each hand. Although he hadn't fully recovered, he had lifted a 400-pound wild boar yesterday, so this weight was nothing to him.
This time, the brother and sister carried extra-large baskets. Su Yan got up at 4:30 to heat up the leftovers from yesterday's banquet. After eating a little with her brother, she packed up about ten kilograms of chicken to take up the mountain for Weiwu to eat.
The brother and sister walked into the mountains for about 10 minutes when a cold wind suddenly blew up. In an instant, the animals that had been hiding in the shadows and observing them began to flee like startled birds, accompanied by terrified cries.
Seeing this, Su Yu became alert and stepped in front of his sister, saying, "Ayan, something's wrong. Why have all the animals run away?"
Almost the instant the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly swept past them. The brother and sister instinctively closed their eyes tightly. The wind, carrying the biting cold and mist from the mountain, stung their faces, making them wince in pain.
When I opened my eyes again, a majestic, massive, and thick body appeared before me.
Water droplets clung to the majestic tiger's fur as it nudged the basket on Su Yu's back with its mouth.
Even before dawn, Su Yan could see its tail wagging merrily, leaving afterimages in the mountains.
...She had never seen such a greedy tiger.
Su Yu immediately put down the basket he was carrying and spread the meat inside on the ground, with a cloth underneath.
Wei Wu hurriedly lowered his head and began to eat with great gusto.
Su Yu pointed at it and asked, "So those animals ran away just now because it came?"
Su Yan nodded, her expression complicated.
To be honest, she couldn't understand how such a greedy and simple-minded tiger could become the overlord of the mountains and forests.
Weiwu ate with great relish, completely oblivious to what the two two-legged creatures were whispering about.
A few kilograms of meat was a pitiful amount for it, and it finished it off in less than five minutes.
Finally, Weiwu let out a satisfied burp.
"Hiccup~"
Su Yu and Su Yan: "..." They've become sentient, they've become sentient.
Wei Wu tilted his head, his tiger eyes looking at the two of them with a clear yet foolish expression.
Su Yan's lips twitched. She took out a tissue to wipe the grease off its mouth and said, "Today I'm going to find some medicinal seedlings to take to the mountain to plant. You take us to a place with lots of medicinal herbs."
With a low growl, the tiger glared at her with displeasure: "Why are you taking it to another mountain to plant, you two-legged creature? Do you have a dog on that other mountain?"
This two-legged creature used to let me lead the way, but now it's trying to dig it up. Does that mean it won't come back in the future?
Is she going to abandon Tiger?
Why?
Could it be that the tiger ate too much?!
But the two-legged creatures said before that it wouldn't matter how much the tiger ate!
Wei Wu felt increasingly aggrieved, radiating a melancholy aura. The flesh on his face, including his eyebrows, eyes, and mouth, drooped.
It turned around, its rear end facing Su Yan, looking utterly heartbroken.
Su Yan was stunned when she saw this. After realizing what was happening, she quickly ran to it and explained, "It's not that I'm not coming. It's that I rented two hilltops, you know... those two. Can you see them?"
From their current vantage point, they can see the summits of the two mountains she rented.
Weiwu's ears twitched, and he raised his tiger head to look in the direction she was pointing.
Su Yan continued, "I spent a lot of money on those two mountains, and I used a lot of medicinal herbs, so I wanted to get some common herbs. I'll have to trouble you to take me to find the rare ones."
I won't be back as often from now on. Once the fruit trees on my hill have grown tall, I'll need you to patrol it for me every day to prevent those bad guys from doing anything to my hill. But you can't let anyone find out, so as not to frighten them. I'll make you something delicious to make up for it when I get back, okay?
Su Yu: "..." His sister was good at fooling people, but she was even more skilled at fooling tigers.
As expected.
After hearing the explanation, Weiwu's whole demeanor brightened up. He happily circled around Su Yan, rubbing his head against her thigh, and transformed into a passionate lover.
Su Yan wiped away non-existent sweat and exhaled.
These days, you have to coax people, and you even have to treat tigers like ancestors.
Once Weiwu was appeased, he happily began to lead the way.
We continued walking for about an hour and then entered the deep mountains.
Su Yu instantly felt a chill wash over him.
Just a few steps away, you can see venomous snakes coiled around trees, their tongues flicking, staring at you dangerously and coldly. But seeing Wei Wu, a sense of vigilance arises in your eyes, and you eventually retreat silently.
It was difficult for outside light to penetrate, and the sky in the deep mountains was still somewhat dark. This made it even easier to see the animals glowing green all around, which was extremely terrifying.
If an ordinary person walked in, they probably wouldn't have made it out alive.
"Ah Yan, aren't you scared?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask after finally overcoming his fear.
He never expected that his seemingly delicate sister would be even bolder than him.
Su Yan walked ahead of him, shook her head, and said, "Of course I was scared the first time, but I wasn't afraid anymore after coming here many times. With Weiwu here, the animals on the mountain don't dare to hurt us, so don't worry."
If she were alone, she wouldn't dare to come into the deep mountains.
After walking for a while, Weiwu finally stopped.
Su Yan peeked out and saw a patch of land covered with medicinal herbs. Her eyes lit up, and she was about to rush over.
To everyone's surprise, Wei Wu stepped aside and blocked her view. He gave her a disdainful look, took a few steps forward, and then roared.
"Roar~"
In an instant, the animals hiding in the herb patch scattered and fled within two seconds.
A few toads that couldn't run fast were swept away by Weiwu's tail.
After circling around once, it finally walked up to Su Yan, tugged at her trouser leg, and gestured that she could go.
Su Yan patted its head happily and turned to Su Yu, saying, "Now we can go over."
Su Yu looked at Wei Wu with great amazement and said as they walked, "Sis, don't let its silly appearance fool you, it's actually quite intelligent. It's even more human-like than a military dog. If we take it back to the army and train it properly, it will definitely be a great help on the battlefield. Why don't you ask it if it's interested in coming back to the army with me?"
He's incredibly interested in Weiwu now, and even suspects that Weiwu has a human brain, so how can it be so smart and considerate?
Otherwise, how could an animal's brain have such a sophisticated thinking system?
Before Su Yan could even speak, Wei Wu, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and glared at her, his eyes dangerous and displeased.
"Roar!" The tiger isn't going anywhere; it's going to stay here. You vicious two-legged beast, don't even think about taking me away!
As a result of this incident, Wei Wu never gave Su Yu a second glance again.
