Chapter 104: Agile Big Cat
Jin Cancan: I need to eat meat before I get up~
Of course, this was what he thought in his heart, and he certainly didn't dare say it out loud.
He pretended to be weak and lay limply on the ground. He also used his tail to sweep some dirt off his body when Wen Le wasn't paying attention, making himself look even more embarrassed.
Seven, who was watching all this from the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking: It's really hard to survive nowadays, even pets have become spirits and have learned to act in order to get meat.
Seeing how hard he tried to act pitiful, Seven felt guilty if he didn't lend a hand: "Maybe he's hungry? He's a tiger after all, and he'll definitely be out of energy if he doesn't eat meat for a few days. Just like us, don't we feel weak if we don't eat meat for a day?"
He could only help up to this point; whether the little fat boy could get the meat depended on his luck.
Wen Le felt that what Seven said made sense. The big cat had never suffered any grievances in its life, and now it was a little uncomfortable to eat dry food for a few days.
But the system had just criticized him and told him not to spoil Big Cat so much, so it seemed unpopular for him to go to the system mall to buy meat for Big Cat.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Le rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a piece of dried meat that Big Cat had left over from the bottom of the bag. He handed it to Big Cat: "Eat this first to satisfy your craving. We'll see if we can catch a rabbit or something later."
Big Cat glanced at the jerky his owner offered him, a bit disdainful. It was so little, barely enough to fill his stomach, and it was leftover from last time. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he caught a glimpse of his owner's expression from the corner of his eye, and after a moment's hesitation, he opened his mouth and took the jerky.
Forget it, it's better to have something than nothing. Life is getting harder and harder these days, it's so hard to even get a bite of meat.
Seven, who could see every move of the big cat, couldn't help but turn his face away and pretend to be looking at the scenery.
The employer has a drama queen, and the identification has been completed.
Watching Big Cat swallow half of the dried meat in one gulp, without even chewing it, it was really heartbreaking to see how greedy he looked.
I couldn't help but ask: "Can you still walk now? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Big Cat was about to say he couldn't walk and wanted his owner to carry him on his back, but then he thought, if they lost time here, wouldn't they miss the prey? He weighed the pros and cons of being carried and eating meat, and in the end, the meat won out.
He said to Wen Le softly, "I can hold on a little longer." Of course, he had to act the whole time, and Da Mao couldn't just get up from the ground, or he would be exposed. He struggled on the ground for a while before getting up from the ground with his limbs weak.
Wen Le was so distressed watching this that he quickly reached out to help him.
If the conditions allowed, Wen Le really wanted to just carry him away. It would be better than watching him struggling like this.
In fact, Big Cat is feeling guilty now, afraid that he will mess up the performance and expose his tail so that Wen Le can grab it. By then, let alone eating the meat, he is afraid that the meat will be burnt even by the soles of his shoes.
Meanwhile, in the system space, Teacher Hu watched everything unfold outside and couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied with this youngster from his tribe. He knew how to use his strengths to get what he wanted. Not bad, not bad.
As for his little apprentice, he still needed to be properly disciplined. How could he be fooled by such a small trick? If he continued to dote on his child, he would sooner or later raise him into a good-for-nothing brat.
You still don’t have enough experience, you need to practice more.
Wen Le had no idea that in just a few minutes, Teacher Hu had already decided to give him extra lessons. If he had known, he would have burst into tears. History is indeed a universal story: parents always feel bad for their children, hoping that their children will suddenly become the envied geniuses of others.
Just like Wen Le’s attitude towards Da Miao, or Teacher Hu’s attitude towards him, they all have the same mentality.
…
Wen Le and his friends were lucky. When they walked into the forest, they came across a rabbit. The big cat, which had not eaten meat for several days and was so greedy that its eyes were shining green, pounced on it and caught it with one claw. Its movements were so agile that it was rare in life.
Wen Le looked Big Cat up in amazement, feeling like he was getting to know him all over again. He hadn't realized how nimble and quick he was. From the moment the rabbit appeared to the moment it ran away, Big Cat had caught it in less than two seconds.
Does this mean...
Wen Le was not in a hurry to pick up the rabbit. Instead, he looked at Da Mao with a half-smile, until Da Mao was about to get angry. Then he walked over slowly and picked up the dead rabbit.
Wen Le kicked Da Mao: "Did I give you less food? You're still pretending in front of me!" But it's a good thing to know how to hide one's shortcomings, which is better than foolishly letting others reveal all your cards. He will go kill the rabbits first, and then settle the score with this guy when he has time.
Big Cat realized he was exposed belatedly and quickly ran over to rub against Wen Le's trouser legs to act cute. Wen Le mercilessly kicked him aside: "Get out of the way! Don't you know how dirty you are?"
How dare you come over here and act like a spoiled child?
Too late!
The rabbit was just the beginning. Wen Le and his friends continued to walk in and encountered small animals such as pheasants. They also found a mountain rat's nest, but the big mountain rat inside had run away and only a nest of baby rats was left, so Wen Le and his friends did not move.
The unwritten rule of leaving behind young animals when hunting is unspoken. It's partly to protect the local ecology, and partly to preserve sufficient resources. Otherwise, if everyone were to kill everything, the animals would soon become extinct. The hunting grounds would then be useless, and no one would do such a thing as destroying their own source of income.
If you encounter this kind of situation where you are caught in one fell swoop, no one will care if you are taught a lesson by other hunting teams. As long as no one is killed, the rescue team will not do anything either. In addition, you will be blacklisted by the local government, and in serious cases, you will be expelled by the authorities.
If you're blacklisted, you'll never be able to hunt here again. Furthermore, obtaining hunting team qualifications will be difficult, and you'll need to apply for permission from the local government before you can go to other hunting grounds. The consequences are severe, like destroying your own job.
So no one dares to do this easily. If they are lucky enough not to be discovered, it will be difficult to deal with the matter if they are discovered.
Wen Le naturally understood this rule, so when he saw Da Mao drooling at the nest of little mountain mice, he kicked him: "What are you looking at? Come here!" Don't think that you can break the rules knowingly just because you turn into a tiger.
Jin Cancan snorted and reluctantly twisted to lie down beside Wen Le. Only after being fed a mouthful of rabbit meat by the owner did she become happy again.
