Chapter 4: Cat and Tiger Meet for the First Time

He Jing felt that her nose seemed to be not working well again. There were many smells mixed together and she couldn't distinguish them. She ran and stopped, stopping from time to time to mark.

Suddenly I saw a squirrel in a pine forest!

This is the first time she has seen other small animals in these days!

It was brown and fat, with a big tail sticking up behind it, and it was holding a pine cone almost as big as itself in its hand.

He Jing ran forward quickly, staring at the squirrel on the tree with bright eyes. Just as he was about to open his mouth but hadn't made a sound yet, the little squirrel was so scared that it dropped the pine cone and ran up the tree.

From time to time, there was a rustling sound of leaves, and slowly the leaves stopped moving.

"Hello, little squirrel. I'm He Jing. I don't mean any harm. I just wanted to ask if you can understand me and where exactly this place is."

"Hello? Hello?"

"Meow? Squeak?"

…

There was no response for a long time.

He Jing's bright eyes gradually dimmed, and the corners of his eyes drooped in disappointment. He walked silently to the tree, picked up the pine cone that the little squirrel had dropped, and wanted to return it to it.

Wait? Is a squirrel a rat? I don't know...

But I'm a cat... This doesn't seem like a friendly relationship, it's more like a food chain relationship, right?!

He Jing suddenly fell silent... thinking, I don't eat rats...

Then he put the pine cone in his mouth under the tree where the little squirrel was, looked around, found a few more nearby and took them away in his mouth as compensation for scaring the little squirrel!

He Jing waited for a while but the little squirrel didn't show up.

Then let’s continue our journey. I don’t dare to eat raw meat, and of course, I don’t think I can catch any.

See if I can find a small river and catch some fish! Sashimi is really the bottom line!!

Of course, I don’t know where I got the confidence to catch fish from. Maybe it’s because I’m a cat now! He Jing complained silently in his heart.

Okay, He Jing sorted out his lost mood and encouraged himself. Cute cat, don’t be afraid of difficulties!

Let’s go, let’s go!

I don’t know how long I ran, but gradually a few butterflies appeared in the woods, and later a few dragonflies appeared, and the sounds of animals rustling around gradually became more frequent.

He Jing's attention was unconsciously attracted. He stared at a blue butterfly not far away and moved his claws.

My paw is a little itchy, it hurts, I really want to pounce on it!!!

No, no! Such a cute butterfly, I’ll scratch it!

"Ahhh my brain!! Why can't I control my hands!" He Jing roared helplessly, pounced forward, and then hit his face in the grass.

Okay, I was really worrying too much. I couldn't even touch the edge of his wings.

He Jing crouched down, locked onto the blue butterfly again, and silently began to gather strength with his two hind legs. He sprang up! Puff! Missed...

The blue butterfly landed leisurely on its nose.

He Jing looked at the butterfly on the tip of He's nose. Why did she feel as if she was being looked down upon?

She quietly raised her hand and slowly moved closer, about to touch it! Suddenly, the butterfly flapped its wings and flew off the tip of her nose, then landed on her little ear.

The tip of my ear felt a little itchy and I couldn't help but shiver.

He was having fun when suddenly the tip of his nose moved unconsciously, as if he smelled a very favorite scent. He Jing sniffed hard again and found that it was the scent of river water!

There's a river nearby! Where there's a river, there are fish! We can eat fish!!!

He Jing happily climbed to his feet, carefully identified the direction, and followed the scent. The smell became stronger and stronger, and his steps became more and more excited. Suddenly, a blue color appeared before his eyes. He Jing excitedly rushed over! It really was a river!

I can really eat fish!!!

He Jing suppressed his joy and walked quietly along the shore, observing the situation in the river.

It doesn’t look very deep, but there are still a lot of fish, and they are all different sizes, some are as big as a palm, and some seem to be bigger than her!

He Jing set her sights on a large fish and silently adjusted her angle. Such a large fish would definitely not be as flexible as a small one! She analyzed it carefully, then pounced hard.

Bang! Perfect entry into the water!

The fish was right in front of him. He Jing tried hard to open his eyes wide and pounced on it like a cat.

The other fish around scattered in an instant and disappeared, only this big fish didn't know how to run away.

Ha! Silly fish! Eating silly fish won’t make you stupid, right?

He Jing was thinking, bang! The next second he flew into the sky again, oh mo, what a familiar plot, what a familiar feeling of flying (O_O)

I was actually whipped into the sky by a fish's tail...

“Oh my god! Is this a real fish? Did it eat spinach?!” He Jing collapsed in rage.

puff!

Then the whole cat fell into a ball of white fur.

He Jing was stunned. Where did the white hair come from?

Then blah blah, he pulled himself out, looked up, and met a pair of clear blue eyes.

In the sunlight, it looks like a transparent gem, big and round, sparkling with light.

Then came the entire face, its milky white fur dotted with symmetrical dark brown tiger stripes. Her gaze slowly settled on the man's forehead, where what appeared to be the Chinese character "王" (king) was written...

This, looks like... a tiger!!!

He Jing was completely stunned, and the fur on his body slowly stood up... What should I do? Can anyone tell me what to do in this situation?

Is meowing useful? Or is it better to just touch your face? ...

Gu Zheng was also observing her. She was so small, not even as tall as his legs, and even cuter than in the video.

The wet kitten looked even thinner. Gu Zheng remained squatting and stretched out one of his front paws to carefully pick up the kitten that was buried in his chest.

I didn't dare to use force, nor did I dare to think about whether this seemingly fragile kitten would be hurt if I hadn't caught her.

He Jing was lying in his hand, dumbfounded. Was he going to be eaten? He felt as if he was not even as big as his claws. He thought it would not even be enough to fill the gap between his teeth!!!

"Meow?" Tentatively, she held his hand and rubbed her face against it. Isn't it said that cats rubbing against each other is a sign of friendliness? Tigers are also cats, so the same should apply to them!

Gu Zheng paused for a moment, looking at the cat's head with wide eyes staring at him eagerly, and feeling the gentle touch on his hand. She was trembling slightly, and suddenly he felt an itch spreading from his palm to the tip of his heart.

It was fleeting and could not be captured.

Gu Zheng realized that the kitten might be frightened, "Don't be afraid," he said, and moved over to gently rub her head with his nose.

He Jing was so scared when the huge tiger head came close to him that he thought he was going to be killed! But he didn't expect it to just rub against him and put him on the ground, making a soft "wooo" sound.

Is this a friendly gesture? If I didn't eat it directly, I don't want to eat it, right? (O_O)

She thought for a moment, looked at the tiger in front of her, and tentatively stood up slowly. Good, no reaction. Then she took two small steps. Good, just looking at me, not attacking.

He Jing encouraged himself, and without catching any fish, he turned around and rushed towards the woods from which he came, his four legs twitching wildly, his heart beating wildly!

As I ran into the woods, I couldn't help but secretly look back. The white tiger looked even more majestic from a distance! It looked very strong! But he squatted in the same place and didn't move, and didn't chase me.

I just wish it didn't chase me! I never thought that after 24 years of living, I would actually be able to see such a handsome white tiger so close up! I also never thought I wouldn't be eaten!

Hey, tiger is good and fish is bad! o(^▽^)o

He Jing disappeared in a short while.

Looking at the little white dot that had run far away, Gu Zheng withdrew his gaze. The kitten was braver than he had imagined.
