Han Luoxue stretched out her paw and greeted the tiger.
Tiger Brother proudly raised his head, and she could almost sense his disdain.
"Um...did you come here to catch up with me?"
"What happened last time had nothing to do with me. I didn't harm your child."
Thinking back to her escape last time, it was all thanks to Han Yuchen.
Han Yuchen came to the mountains today. Will he be able to see her again and save her?
Han Luoxue suddenly felt like crying. She felt like she had a grudge against this Wuling Mountain, because nothing good ever came from her visit.
"Roar..." Tiger Brother roared again, but unfortunately Han Luoxue didn't understand the animal language.
She suddenly remembered that she had a little rabbit in her space, which Han Yuchen had given her. It was so cute that she hadn't been able to bear eating it.
Keeping it in your space and petting it a couple of times when you have nothing else to do, isn't that great? But given the current situation, for the sake of her own life, Han Luoxue has no choice but to sacrifice the cute little rabbit.
Little Rabbit: Protest! I've been trying to please you and letting you pet me all these days for nothing?
Waaah, I don't want to feed the cat either.
However, Han Luoxue ignored the little rabbit's thoughts, grabbed it, and tried to throw it out again using the same trick.
The tiger's eyes lit up when it saw the rabbit appear out of nowhere, and it slashed out with its paw as Han Luoxue raised her hand.
Before Han Luoxue could even realize what was happening, the rabbit in her hand had already been moved to another location.
Has this tiger become a spirit? It's even answering questions faster than others.
No, that's a prediction. But if the tiger doesn't chase after her, how can she escape?
Han Luoxue searched the space again, but unfortunately there was nothing left for the tiger to eat! She couldn't very well give it a corncob, could she?
Desperate, she actually produced an ear of corn.
Unfortunately, Brother Tiger only glanced at it and didn't move an inch.
As for the little rabbit trapped under its paws, it was so frightened that it dared not move and obediently pretended to be dead.
"Brother Tiger, I've already offered you tribute, and this is the only rabbit I have left. Could you please let me go?"
Han Luoxue felt that the tiger could understand her, and discussed it with it.
The tiger didn't respond; its big eyes remained fixed on her hand.
What does this mean?
Han Luoxue recalled the last time she threw out a wild goose, which the tiger ate and then chased after her. Could it be that the tiger wasn't after her animal, but rather the spiritual spring water?
With no way to escape now, Han Luoxue decided to try anything, and luckily there was a wooden basin in her space, so she filled it with more than half a basin of water.
Seeing the wooden basin appear out of nowhere, the tiger lowered its head to sniff it, and sure enough, it began to drink the water.
That girl's pretty clever; she figured out her water was different just from eating a goose once. It's a pity she didn't have any medicine, otherwise she would have gone into the water...
No, that won't do. Tigers are very vengeful. This is a tigress. If I hurt her, and her man finds out, he'll come to the village and kill me.
Lost in thought, the tiger finished drinking all the water, licked its lips, and released its grip on the rabbit.
The rabbit was so frightened that its legs went weak, and it lay on the ground, too scared to move.
Han Luoxue tentatively asked, "Should I take this back?"
The tiger didn't react, so Han Luoxue took it as agreement and swiftly snatched the rabbit away.
"Brother Tiger, oh, I should say Aunt Tiger, I heard you have tiger cubs, so you must have milk, right? My little brother doesn't have any milk to drink, could I borrow some from you?"
Last time, she was worried about the tiger's milk. Her mother couldn't possibly have any milk, and her younger brother was too thin and weak, only able to eat millet porridge. To raise her brother well, he still needed milk.
Han Luoxue was merely testing the tiger; she hadn't expected it to agree. However, the tiger's next action caused her pupils to contract sharply.
The tiger actually lay down on its side.
Aunt Tiger agreed?
Han Luoxue didn't dare to delay. She tentatively touched the tiger's belly. The furry texture felt really nice. Seeing that the tiger didn't object, she hurriedly started milking it.
Yes, it's quite fulfilling. Others milk cows and goats, but I'm milking tigers.
The key point is that I even played a few rounds. How many people in this world can actually play Tiger?
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Tiger. I'll treat you to water another day."
Looking at the stock in the space with satisfaction, this was enough for my little brother to eat for a few days.
The tiger stood up, wagged its tail, and ran away.
Looking at the wagging tiger's tail, Han Luoxue couldn't believe it. Could a tiger wag its tail like a dog?
And what did she just do? Not only did she pet the tiger's fur, but she also milked it?
Even now, Han Luoxue still feels like it was all a dream.
If the space hadn't contained tiger milk she had just squeezed, she wouldn't have believed that she had actually made a deal with a tiger.
On the way back, Han Luoxue felt like she was walking on cotton; her steps were still unsteady.
...
"Something terrible has happened! Village head, something horrible has occurred..."
After waiting for more than half an hour, Grandma Han was certain that Han Luoxue had been eaten by the tiger. Only then did she hurriedly pull Han Juhua and the others out. Of course, she went straight to Han Qiang's house and shouted loudly as soon as she entered the door.
"What important matter?"
Han Qiang drank the last mouthful of porridge, and Grandma Han, smelling the aroma of the porridge, swallowed hard.
"It's Han Luoxue. That girl went into the mountains by herself."
Han Qiang rolled his eyes at her: "So what if she went into the mountains?"
Now that Han Mingyuan's family is the oldest, it's normal for him to go into the mountains to find something to eat, right?
"Village head, my chrysanthemum just saw her too. She said she saw a tiger chasing Xueya. She's probably been eaten by now..."
"What? What did you say?"
Upon hearing the word "tiger," Han Qiang's expression changed drastically: "When did you see it? Was it really a tiger?"
It's important to know that although everyone knows there are big creatures in the Five Ridges Mountains, very few people have actually seen a tiger.
Moreover, tigers and the like generally don't come to this area, especially during the daytime.
“It really was a tiger. Grandpa Village Head, my brother and I both saw it, right there among those pine trees.”
Han Juhua spoke with a look of fear on her face, and Han Qiang believed her because she spoke so convincingly.
"That girl is too bold! She actually dared to go in alone. I'll send someone to find her right now!"
Although the chances were slim, he couldn't ignore it now that he knew, especially since Han Luoxue had just given the village a hundred catties of grain.
Han Qiang went out to look for someone and hurriedly came out of the gate. Suddenly, he saw a petite figure carrying a basket on her back, swaying as she walked down from the mountain.
The person who came was none other than Han Luoxue, the one that Old Lady Han had just mentioned being chased by a tiger.
Han Qiang glared coldly at Old Lady Han, who was following behind. Old Lady Han widened her triangular eyes as if trying to see through Han Luoxue.
"Xue'er, did you go to the mountains by yourself?"
The village head greeted her, and Han Luoxue only then snapped out of her daze. She quickly smiled and said:
"Hmm, I'd like to see if there's anything I can sell for money."
Han Qiang smiled. There was almost nothing of value on this mountain.
"Then you should be careful, it's not safe in the mountains."
Han Luoxue nodded her thanks, knowing that the village head meant well.
"Little Xue, you didn't encounter anything in the mountains, did you?"
