“Ouch…”

The tiger, which had violently crashed into and destroyed the bamboo fence, called out to Hua Shi innocently in a low voice when she turned around to look at her.

"Meow."

Before Hua Shi could react, the big orange cat in her arms struggled and jumped out of her arms. With a purr, it burrowed into the weeds beside it.

"roar……"

The huge tiger saw that she had been standing there for so long and Hua Shi had no intention of paying attention to her, so he raised his voice and barked at her again, trying to get her attention back.

Hua Shi blinked her sore eyes. Under the broad daylight, in the bright light, double images flashed before her eyes.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have almost thought she was dazzled and had misunderstood...

It really was the tiger that suddenly ran away and disappeared in the black market in Taohua Town!

"Why are you here?"

Hua Shi heard her own dry voice ask this.

“Woo…”

The tiger took a few steps back and forth, as if it didn't understand what she was saying, and made a puzzled whimpering sound.

"Why did you find yourself here?"

"Woo..."

"You can find such a long way? How did you get out?"

“Wow…?”

"Will anyone follow us?"

"Ouch."

No matter what Hua Shi asked, the guy in front of her seemed to understand nothing. He just kept calling out softly and looked at her with innocent eyes, looking confused.

Hua Shi slowly came to her senses and realized that this guy might not understand what she was saying at all.

She had been up all night for a few days recently and was severely sleep deprived, causing her mind to be hazy and confused. She could clearly feel that her reactions were much slower...

“Ouch…Ouch.”

Tiger deliberately lowered his voice, which sounded soft and not oppressive at all.

Hua Shi rubbed his aching head, looked down at it, and then looked at the courtyard blocked by the bamboo forest.

She could see the tiger's intentions, and had followed it all the way here... It had only one purpose: to find her and shamelessly cling to her. No, cling to the spring in her hand...

"Now, listen to me carefully. If you understand, just nod your head, okay?"

After figuring it out, Hua Shi didn't want to continue to stalemate with it, so he turned and said.

The tiger, who had been pretending to be stupid just now, nodded without hesitation.

Hua Shi immediately realized that this guy was being cunning and pretending to be stupid.

He clearly understood what she was saying, but he pretended to know nothing, afraid that she would do something...

"Okay, now that you've found me, do you want to follow me?" Hua Shi asked straight to the point.

"Awoo!" The tiger nodded excitedly, its dark yellow eyes looking at her nervously, as if it was afraid that she would disagree and drive it away.

"You can follow me, but without my permission, you can only stay in this place." Hua Shi said, raising his hand and pointing, indicating a range.

The approximate location is in a few places near the fish pond. The farthest you can go is the bamboo forest. No further than that.

After all, if such a big tiger ran out for no reason and was seen by the villagers, the consequences can be imagined.

In addition, the villagers are still looking for the tiger's trace, so the most appropriate thing to do is to keep it active near the fish pond.

In fact, she was thinking that if it wanted, it could go to the mountains and return to the embrace of nature. Since it had already escaped and gained freedom, why not return to the mountains, to its original place...

But now, looking at its bright eyes and the hint of stubbornness in them, based on her past experience, if she wanted to say she disagreed with these words now, she didn't know how long it would take to argue.

Fortunately, she agreed directly. When she has time later, she will talk to it in detail and persuade it to go back to the mountains to live on its own. If it is reluctant to give up the handful of spring water in her palm, it can just be like the Golden Crow and run down to ask her for it when it has free time occasionally.

“Ouch!”

The tiger responded quickly, looking at her with his big, bright eyes as if he was looking at some big treasure.

"Okay, then you stay here and help me watch the fish pond. I'll come back later to bring you food."

Hua Shi pointed to a location and signaled it to stay there, the gap in the bamboo fence that it had violently broken, and ordered it to squat there.

This hole can only be repaired when we have time to cut more bamboo. For now, we can only leave it there and let this "culprit" take the blame and keep it.

"When you're guarding here, remember to be careful and don't let anything else get close to the fish pond. Got it?"

“Roar!”

Before Hua Shi left, he did not forget to give repeated instructions, and the tiger responded very happily.

Of course, she also did not forget why the tiger was so willing to listen to her. She fed it some spring water to sweeten its taste and make it work better.

The tiger licked its paws and smacked its lips. The tip of its tongue was filled with the cool taste, which flowed from its throat into its stomach.

After several days of traveling, the claws were exhausted and frayed. After drinking the spring water, all their tiredness was swept away...

It was right...
