Chapter 221: Tiger's Rations
This biped is so despicable that he actually wants to steal his own cubs.
He rushed directly towards Xia Xing'er.
A quarter of an hour later, the tigress was carrying the two-legged beast that had stolen her cub on her back. Her eyes were full of humiliation and unwillingness, but she could only accept her fate and walk down the mountain.
Xia Xing'er felt its emotions and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.
"Don't feel like you're being taken advantage of. Isn't it good to follow me and enjoy delicious food? Your children will follow me and I'll feed them meat every day. You won't have to risk your life looking for food!"
When the tigress heard what Xia Xing'er said, she felt that this two-legged beast was treating her like a fool.
Who is it? It is the king of beasts. Even before it gave birth to cubs, it was very majestic and had countless younger brothers around it. The male tigers in the tribe were no match for it.
But since giving birth to cubs, its fur has become dull and it has become so thin that it is almost unrecognizable!
In order to feed her cubs, she has turned from a majestic tigress into a skinny female cat!
Even so, it didn't dare to relax at all in this dangerous mountain.
It has to stay alive and raise its cubs.
"You don't need to run around in the mountains every day. Just help me guard my house. The most important thing is to prevent those wild monkeys in the mountains from stealing my food! Of course, as a reward, I will make sure you have enough food and drink every day! I will also help you improve your strength so that you can once again become the most powerful king of this mountain and even the entire tiger world!"
Tigress unconsciously slowed down her pace upon hearing this.
Xia Xing'er felt the tigress's movements and continued, "Of course, although your cubs are still young, I won't despise them. I will help you raise them and let them inherit your business. Then you can retire. Of course, I will also help them improve their strength so that they can become the most powerful tigers in the entire tiger world!"
"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to. I don't like to force anyone, not even a tiger. I'll ask your competitors. I'll provide food and shelter, and I can even help your cubs develop. I think they should have no reason to disagree with my conditions, don't you agree?"
While Xia Xing'er was speaking, she did not forget to take out the meat soaked in spiritual spring water from the space and feed it to the little tiger cubs.
The little tiger cubs were already hungry, and when they saw the meat Xia Xing'er gave them, they finished it in no time.
After eating, he didn't forget to lick Xia Xing'er's palm and rub her hand.
“Ouch…”
These little tiger cubs are really smart. After eating the meat, they didn't forget to act cute towards Xia Xing'er.
The tigress was already so hungry that her stomach was growling. In order to save a bite of food for her cubs, she had not eaten anything all day. She also had a fight with Xia Xing'er. It could be said that Xia Xing'er was the one-sided abuser of her.
Now, after eating the piece of meat dipped in spiritual spring water that Xia Xing'er gave it, it felt so happy that it was on earth.
He unconsciously let out a tiger roar!
"roar--"
If it could eat such meat every day, it would be willing to die!
It doesn’t matter whether it can become the most powerful tiger king in the entire tiger world, and it doesn’t seem to be that important whether its cubs can become successful!
In this way, the man and the tiger reached a friendly agreement!
Xia Xing'er took out the dozen or so pheasants she had just caught from the space and hung them directly around the tigress's neck.
After finding a place, she took out enough meat from the space to fill the tigress and her cubs, and let them eat it.
The tigress gestured for Xia Xing'er to sit on her back, and then she leisurely walked down the mountain towards home.
All the villagers in Shitou Village went out, and each of them carried a basket full of mushrooms on his back.
In the Xia family courtyard, the entire ground was covered with oilcloth, which was filled with various kinds of mushrooms.
Most of the villagers in Shitou Village are from poor families. They are grateful to the Xia family for being able to pick up so many mushrooms.
Aunt Chen also brought her son and daughter-in-law to pick a lot of mushrooms.
"Mom, why didn't we think of going deep into the mountains before? We have lived here for generations. We could have had enough food and drink by relying on these mountain products, but we lived a life with no food to eat."
"It's not that no one went to the mountains before, but those people never came back after they left. As time went by, no one dared to go to the mountains anymore!"
"But the Xia family is really brave. They went to the mountains right away and nothing happened. They even found so many mushrooms. Instead of keeping them for themselves, they told everyone. They are really good people!"
"Look at the variety of these mushrooms. They're all top-quality. Even if we don't eat them ourselves, we can definitely make a lot of money by selling them in the county town!"
"I also heard that they found a river with lots of fish in it. If we have time, we can catch a few and we won't be hungry anymore!"
Several people in Aunt Chen's family chatted while working all day.
The Xia family members were also drying the mushrooms they had picked in the yard.
The people Aunt Chen found have already reclaimed all the wasteland they bought.
Chen Dabai also led the craftsmen to work hard to build the house, and it will be completed in a while.
Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. Although working for the Xia family did not provide food, they paid high wages, ten cents a day more than working in other places!
Now every day when they return home, their wives smile more often, no longer scold them, and even prepare water for them to wash their feet. Such days are brought to them by the Xia family. They are grateful and swear in their hearts that they must build the Xia family's house well and quickly.
"Dad... Dad... There's... There's a tiger!"
"The tiger... the tiger is actually coming down the mountain. Run quickly!"
The people who were still working heard the shouting and looked towards the road up the mountain.
I saw a big tiger carrying a man walking down the mountain.
They all dropped what they were holding and ran straight home!
Master Xia Er was also helping Xia Xing'er and the others build a house to make money. Although it was a bit tiring, he was still happy in his heart.
Life now is much better than when we were in exile. At least it’s a bit tiring now, but we can earn money. It’s not like when we were in exile, where they worked so hard and could only eat one meal a day, and nothing else!
But the good times didn't last long before they saw a tiger coming down the mountain.
In the past, he would have thought that he would just die, as life was too tiring.
But now he doesn't want to die anymore, he wants to live. It is better to live a miserable life than to die!
Besides, the thought of being bitten to death by a tiger and becoming its food is painful just thinking about it!
