Chapter 60 Oh my god, they actually raise a tiger!
Putting the purchase of coal aside for the time being, the first task now is to go out and chop trees.
Shi Jiaojiao changed her clothes and just as she put her hand on the door handle, her legs were fixed in place and she couldn't move at all.
She lowered her head and saw Xiao Hei biting her trouser leg and humming.
Shi Jiaojiao squatted down. No matter how she used freeze-dried food or dried meat to persuade Xiao Hei, he remained unmoved.
The main point is to hold the trouser legs tightly and not let go.
Shi Jiaojiao looked helpless.
She also knew that Xiao Hei had been bored at home during this period, but the weather outside was so hot and she didn't know a veterinarian. What should she do if something happened to Xiao Hei?
Mu Ci beside him said, "Take it with you."
Shi Jiaojiao was a little confused, "Brother, if I take it out, will the government forcibly take it away? After all, tigers are protected animals."
Having raised Xiao Hei for such a long time, Shi Jiaojiao has feelings for him, and she knows that he will definitely not live as well if he follows the government as he would if he follows herself.
"I see that Xiao Hei's fur is much thinner than that of an ordinary tiger, and it needs to adapt to the changes outside as soon as possible." Mu Ci looked at Xiao Hei, "As for being forcibly taken away, it probably won't happen. The government doesn't have that much material to feed tigers right now."
Xiao Hei seemed to understand what Mu Ci said. He opened his mouth instantly and sat there obediently.
Shi Jiaojiao took one look at the two, one big and one small, and had to agree.
However, he still took out a leash from the space and hung it around Xiao Hei's neck.
Although it is useless, having a rope can help others be less afraid when they see the tiger.
Xiao Hei was reluctant at first, but after Shi Jiaojiao patted his head, he had to put on the leash obediently.
When they went downstairs, several of them were holding axes in their hands.
Shi Jiaojiao was walking in front, holding the tiger in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
It may be because the Chinese New Year is approaching, or it may be encouragement from the government.
People are no longer so tense when they meet each other, and some can even nod and chat for a while.
As a result, before they could say a few words, they turned around and saw four people coming down from the upstairs, all of them running away at a very fast speed.
Oh my god, the 20th floor is already ferocious enough, and now they have a tiger!
When they reached the 10th floor, the four of them ran into the boy who had stopped Shi Jiaojiao last time.
He smiled and asked, "Are you going out?"
He had only been saying hello politely, not expecting a response.
Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a large shadow under Shi Jiaojiao's feet.
He was curious and moved the flashlight in his hand along the line of sight.
When he saw it clearly, his face instantly turned into horror, even his hair stood up, and he froze in place, unable to move.
It turned out to be a tiger!
Perhaps the tiger was a little unhappy with the flashlight, and it bared its teeth at him silently.
The boy turned off the flashlight stiffly.
He comforted himself in his heart that as long as he couldn't see the tiger, the tiger couldn't see him.
"Well, let's go to the mountain to chop some wood." Shi Jiaojiao replied, and did not notice that there was anything wrong with the boy opposite.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something pressing on her head. She looked up and saw that it was Mu Ci.
But her brother didn't seem very happy.
Is there something troubling you?
Wang Jia, who was standing on the side, happened to see the whole process and covered his face with his hands, laughing uncontrollably.
Tang Wei looked confused and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"
"It can only be understood, not expressed in words." Wang Jia said mysteriously.
The boy, who was so frightened by the tiger that he dared not move, came to his senses after hearing Shi Jiaojiao's answer.
He never expected that the other party would actually reply to him.
However, under the watchful eyes of Tiger and the man opposite, the boy didn't dare to speak any more.
He swallowed, smiled and nodded.
It’s that smile, it looks so stiff no matter how you look at it.
Only when Shi Jiaojiao and the others turned around and left did the boy finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Then his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.
I could still hear them discussing topics like the colder weather.
Chop wood and get cold?
He kept repeating these words over and over in his mouth, and suddenly his heart trembled violently, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
He quickly returned home.
He knew all the residents on this floor. They were all young people who came out to work and had little savings, so they rented together.
The boy called everyone together and told them what had just happened.
A girl with short hair immediately decided, "Let's go too!"
"Yes, just look at their lives and you will know that they are all smart people. Since they are kind enough to tell us, we must not be stupid."
Although their fighting power is not high, I believe that no one would snatch things like wood.
Moreover, they must learn to be strong and not degenerate any further.
While they were discussing, the four had already arrived at a forest park in the suburbs.
Shi Jiaojiao came here when she was a child.
She still remembers the time when her parents took her to the park for an outing.
The park at that time was full of vitality, with lush trees of various species. From time to time, you could see some little squirrels poking their heads out of the trees, asking tourists for food.
Walking on the green grass, you can hear the singing of birds and the cheerful laughter of passers-by along the way.
Every summer, many people come here to escape the heat.
But looking at it now, the scene is no longer the same as it was then.
Looking around, everything is desolate. The surrounding scenery is gray and gloomy, without even a trace of green.
The trees had been scorched by the sun and had become dry and cracked. There was no need to use an axe. People could just kick them with their feet and the wood would break in half.
This scene made the four of them silent.
But now is not the time to be sad, everyone is starting to seize the time to collect wood.
Shi Jiaojiao untied the rope around Xiao Hei's neck, gave it some water, and let it go to have fun.
"Go out for a run and come back, okay? If you get caught by someone, you won't be able to eat meat again." She reminded Xiao Hei in his ear.
Although Xiao Hei didn't understand, she always felt that Xiao Hei understood human nature.
When Xiao Hei rubbed against him, he just smiled coquettishly and then ran away.
Shi Jiaojiao walked up to a tree and kicked it hard, and the entire trunk fell down.
Then she took the axe and began to chop the wood into small pieces so that it would be easier to carry home.
After they had been chopping for a while, Wang Jia wiped his sweat and spoke first, "Let's chop less, otherwise the car won't be able to fit it, and it will be difficult to carry it upstairs."
Tang Wei also panted and agreed, "Indeed, it's a waste of effort if you cut too many and can't carry them away."
Shi Jiaojiao had no objection and nodded in agreement.
After being busy for a while, she straightened up, drank a sip of water, and said hello to the three people, "I'm going to go look for Xiao Hei. Why hasn't he come back in such a long time?"
"Do you want me to go with you?" Wang Jia said.
Shi Jiaojiao waved her hands quickly, "No, I can do it alone."
Wang Jia knew Shi Jiaojiao's strength, so she didn't insist on following her. She just reminded her, "Don't run too far. Come back early. Xiao Hei is so well behaved that he won't run around."
Shi Jiaojiao responded, looked at Mu Ci, nodded slightly, and left.
The three of them didn't chat, after all, the more they talked, the drier their mouths would become.
Especially when the weather is so hot, even the wind is warm, and staying outside for a moment longer is torture.
Everyone just wants to finish work early and then go home to enjoy the air conditioning.
Just when the three of them were working diligently like old oxen.
Suddenly, Shi Jiaojiao's shouting came from the woods.
