Chapter 176 Taming

Several children ran out excitedly, leaving only Sisi sitting on the chair. Sisi tried hard to climb down, but her calves were short and her movements were too slow. She almost cried in frustration.

She was less than two years old, and the older children couldn't pay attention to her when they were playing, so she could easily bump into things. Lin Yue went over and picked her up, teasing her to divert her attention elsewhere.

Zhang Yuandong put away his son's precious erhu and went back to clean up the dishes. He held the bowl in his hand, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He turned back and asked, "Did you just make fun of me?"

Lin Yue suppressed his laughter and refused to admit it: "How could I be making fun of you? I even applauded you guys!"

Zhang Yuandong looked at her suspiciously and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Lin Yue's eyes were firm: "Really!"

"Then compliment me."

Lin Yue's eyes widened, unable to believe that he could make such a shameless request without batting an eyelid.

Zhang Yuandong saw her expression and his face turned a little dark: "You still think my singing is not good!"

Why is this person so troublesome today? Lin Yue almost rolled his eyes, but the soft and tender child in his arms suddenly spoke: "Sisi can sing!" After that, he sang by himself: "The sun sets in the west and the clouds fly, the soldiers return to the camp after shooting..."①

The voice is soft and sweet, and some words are not pronounced correctly, but this makes it more childish and makes people feel soft inside. The key point is that this little kid who is not even two years old can sing better than Zhang Yuandong.

Lin Yue said in disbelief: "Sisi, you sing so beautifully! Your brothers and sisters are your age, but they can't sing yet! It seems that the power of genes is really strong!"

Zhang Yuandong was immersed in the clear singing voice of the young lady one second ago, and when he heard these words the next second, he gritted his teeth secretly, went into the house, found a pile of toys and put them on the table, took the child from Lin Yue's arms, put him on the chair and coaxed: "Sisi, be good, play with the toys by yourself first, Daddy and Mommy are going to do some work!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yue to react, he pinched her waist, lifted Lin Yue out of the chair like a child, and carried her into the house.

Seeing his attitude, Lin Yue punched him twice on the chest and whispered, "Be serious, this is in front of the children!"

Zhang Yuandong walked into the main room in two or three steps, put her on the kang, and whispered: "Why am I not serious? Why do you think I am not serious? Tell me and I will check it for you!"

Lin Yue felt his itch being tickled and he couldn't stop laughing. However, out of consideration for the children outside the door, he didn't dare to make too much noise. It was very difficult for him to hold back his laughter.

Zhang Yuandong wanted to get even more aggressive, but Lin Yue wouldn't let him. Just as she was about to move, she heard Ling Ling's noisy voice coming from outside the door. She got anxious and kicked Zhang Yuandong.

Lingling started calling her mother at the door: "Mom, where is our flashlight? I forgot to take it!"

When she pushed the door open, she saw her father, who was over 1.80 meters tall, being kicked by her mother and taking several steps back until his back hit the table.

Lingling's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "Dad, Mom, are you two fighting?"

Lin Yue was a little embarrassed. He glared at Zhang Yuandong unhappily, then hurriedly straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "There's no fight. We were just having fun!"

Lingling saw the way her mother glared at her father, so of course she didn't believe what her mother said. However, she didn't ask any more questions. She just said "Oh" doubtfully, took out a flashlight from the drawer, and ran away in a hurry.

Little did they know, the kid who didn't ask much questions told everyone about the "fight between the couple" in a blink of an eye. When Zhang Yuandong went to work the next day, someone even asked him if the couple had a conflict.

Lin Yue glared at Zhang Yuandong again, but the man covered his lower back and pretended to be pitiful. After being glared at by her, he quickly moved over and said pitifully, "Wife, my lower back hurts. Maybe I hit it too hard."

Lin Yue turned his body over and lifted his clothes for him to check. She had just used less force, and this man had thick skin and flesh, so after that hit, there was not even a red mark left.

She pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, it's all bruised! It looks like the injury is pretty serious. You said your waist hurts, could it be that you hurt your waist?"

Zhang Yuandong nodded seriously, "How about you rub it for me, maybe it will get better?"

Lin Yue rubbed it symbolically twice, and imitated him and said seriously: "No, I think this is too serious, you need to rest well. After all, the injured part is your waist, so you'd better not do some things, and take good care of yourself for ten days or half a month!"

After saying that, he walked out.

Zhang Yuandong grabbed the man and his face turned green.

Lin Yue kicked him and reminded him, "The child is still outside."

Zhang Yuandong knew the seriousness of the situation, pursed his lips, and asked in a low voice: "Is your space open?"

Lin Yue felt it and nodded.

"Then ask me to come with you when you go in. I don't want you to be alone."

Lin Yue really wanted to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but looking at his expression, he knew there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so he could only nod in agreement.

That night, Lin Yue slept with Wang Tingting as usual.

Wang Tingting also talked a lot. In fact, she had always been filled with a cynical mood in her heart. But today, after she learned that Lin Yue almost died in the tiger's mouth, the tight string in her heart suddenly broke. It turned out that human life was so fragile. It turned out that even someone like Lin Yue, who lived a happy life, could easily be deprived of his life by an accident.

Today she suddenly realized one thing: no matter how many hardships people face, as long as they are alive, there is hope. And hope is given by oneself.

Wang Tingting has been through a lot in the past year or so. First, her father encountered an accident, and she began to suppress her temper and shattered her pride. Not only did she not get help from her in-laws, but she also ended up in divorce.

The little life she found in her belly after the divorce made her suffer a lot. Although she chose to keep the child, she was often upset. She herself couldn't tell whether she chose to keep the child because she really loved the child or out of a twisted revenge mentality.

But today, the moment she figured it out, she was finally sure that no matter why she had been so stubborn about keeping the child, she would love him for the rest of her life.

Lin Yue could feel that Wang Tingting's heart knot that had been bothering her for more than a year had suddenly untied. She had been worried that Wang Tingting would suffer from postpartum depression.

Now that she finally figured it out, I felt happy for Wang Tingting, and at the same time I breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to her planning her future life, I fell asleep unknowingly.

Wang Tingting didn't mind the absence of an audience. She rested her head on her hands and looked at the moon outside the window. For the first time in a long time, she felt inner peace.

It was just the beginning of May, but the black market's dawns were particularly early. It was just past three o'clock when the sky outside began to lighten. Lin Yue tiptoed out of the room and entered the space with Zhang Yuandong.

Zhang Yuandong did not take a gun, but he prepared a long iron rod. He estimated his own strength and thought he should be able to subdue the tiger.

His muscles were tense now, and his eyes quickly searched around, subconsciously protecting Lin Yue in his protective circle. It could be said that as soon as he entered the space, he was ready to fight.

Lin Yue laughed at him for being too nervous, raised his hand and pointed at the pond used for raising fish not far away.

The space was sealed yesterday morning. According to the speed of time flowing inside, nearly four days have passed. The tiger must have been very hungry. It was standing in the water, looking at the water surface quietly. Suddenly, it took a quick bite. When it raised its head, it had a big black fish in its mouth. Its movements were clean and neat, and the speed was amazing.

Zhang Yuandong was shocked by the tiger's agility and held the iron rod in his hand even tighter. The tiger probably sensed something and looked over here suddenly. Seeing the two standing not far away, it pounced over here.

Zhang Yuandong was terrified and quickly pulled Lin Yue behind him, while he stood in front with a stick.

Lin Yue patted his shoulder and told him not to be nervous. Sure enough, the tiger had just jumped onto the shore and had only run a few steps when it ran into an invisible barrier, which made it dizzy and took several steps back.

Zhang Yuandong could not see that layer of barrier, nor had he heard of such a thing. He was only now surprised to understand that this was what Lin Yue meant by "lock it up".

He looked at Lin Yue in disbelief and asked, "What is that? Why does it feel like the tiger has hit a wall?"

Lin Yue was a little proud: "Otherwise, why do you think the chickens, ducks and sheep in the back mountain never come down from the mountain?"

Zhang Yuandong nodded, not quite understanding, and asked, "What should we do now? Can you still subdue it? If not, just let me kill it and I'll buy you a tiger-skin coat this winter!"

Lin Yue sighed, "Even if you dare to make it for me, I won't dare to wear it. I would only wear something with unclear origins if I wanted to be paraded through the streets."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to release the barrier and waved to the tiger.

The tiger took a few tentative steps forward, and seeing that the barrier had disappeared, it leaped up again and ran over here.

Zhang Yuandong told himself that this was Lin Yue's space and he had to trust Lin Yue, but deep down he was still extremely nervous, holding the iron rod tightly in his hand, ready to hit the tiger with it at any time.

The tiger slowed down as it got closer, tilted its head, and walked lightly to the side of the two people. It circled around them, as if confirming something, its eyes full of vigilance.

Lin Yue has absolute control over the space. She can shock and control these animals, and ensure that no creature in the space can harm her. However, she cannot allow a creature with independent thinking ability to suddenly let down its guard against her and accept herself from the bottom of its heart.

She squatted down, intending to bribe the tiger. At her fingertips was a drop of spiritual spring water that had been prepared long ago, and now she brought it to the tiger's mouth, trying to feed it.

The tiger understood her meaning, thought for two seconds, and then obediently licked Lin Yue's finger. Animals have very sharp intuition. The tiger tasted the sweetness, and its eyes slowly relaxed. It slowly lay on the ground, allowing Lin Yue to comb its hair, and even snored.

Zhang Yuandong was extremely nervous from the moment the tiger licked Lin Yue's fingertips. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the tiger really relax and accept Lin Yue's approach. He was surprised and just as he reached out to touch it, he saw it suddenly raise its head again, and its small yellow eyes stared at him vigilantly.

He was shocked and tried it a few more times. He found that the tiger would only allow Lin Yue to approach. Instead of feeling disappointed, he was secretly happy.

There were many fields in this area, which were not suitable for tiger activities, so the two men led it to the hill that separated Houhai.

There are also some small animals on this hill, mainly rabbits that reproduce quickly. Because there is only Lin Yue, the carnivore, in the space, these herbivorous animals reproduce very quickly, so Lin Yue moved some of the animals here, which is now convenient for the tiger.

The tiger received Lin Yue's instruction and knew that this would be its home from now on. It licked the finger that Lin Yue had used to feed it the spiritual spring water reluctantly, and ran into the mountain, looking back every few steps.
