Most importantly, the roar sounded very familiar.
If Gu Lili remembers correctly, this should be the sound of a tiger.
This reminded Gu Lili of the farcical incident that occurred when she tried to save the little tiger.
Later, to thank them, the tiger even gave them a wild rabbit.
Before they even got close to the gate, another roar rang out, seemingly even closer than the first one.
Chang'an rushed ahead of Gu Lili in one stride, "Lili, be careful, there might be danger!"
The roar made everyone in the courtyard feel inexplicably uneasy.
Even the big black dog, who usually barks incessantly at the slightest noise, was now cowering in a ball, trembling uncontrollably.
This must be bloodline suppression.
The chickens and ducks in the coop, who were sleeping, were now restless and flapping their wings and squawking erratically.
Gu Lili's main reason for going out was that Zhuifeng was still grazing outside. If it really was a tiger, Zhuifeng would definitely be in danger.
"Sister, Zhui Feng is still outside!" Gu Yun Chu said anxiously.
He clearly recognized the roar as that of a tiger; last time, they had only managed to escape from a tiger by saving a cub.
But Zhui Feng is different; the tiger could hunt and kill him at any time.
After finishing their meal, they were all busy practicing martial arts with Chang'an, thinking they would bring Zhuifeng back later.
Gu Lili composed herself and said, "Quickly grab all our hoes and everything else, let's go out and take a look!"
Gu Lili thought for a moment, then turned to Grandma Li and the children and said, "Grandma, take the four of them and go back inside quickly. Lock the house. Don't come out unless I call you!"
Grandma Li knew that if they went out now, they would probably only be a hindrance, so she quickly grabbed the children and hurried towards the nearest house.
Gu Lili watched as the group entered the house, then took out a tranquilizer gun from her spatial storage and prepared to bypass Chang'an and leave the courtyard.
"Lili, you should walk behind me. If there's any danger, you should run back to the yard and close the door. I'll find a way to save Zhuifeng," Chang'an said with concern, pulling Gu Lili behind him.
Seeing Chang'an's resolute attitude, Gu Lili didn't step forward. Instead, she followed closely behind him.
Chang'an may know martial arts, but his opponent is a wild beast.
Even if Chang'an were armed, he probably wouldn't be a match for the tiger.
Gu Lili followed behind Chang'an, holding a tranquilizer gun and waiting for the right moment to strike.
Fortunately, even with the moonlight, everyone's eyes were fixed on the courtyard gate, and no one noticed the weapon in Gu Lili's hand.
Chang'an and Gu Lili cautiously stepped out of the courtyard, but were stunned by the scene before them.
By the moonlight, the group saw an adult tiger lying on the ground.
There was a smaller tiger nearby, constantly rubbing its head against the tiger on the ground.
Seeing Gu Lili and the others come out, the adult tiger roared again, then nudged the cub towards them with its head.
The little tiger was nudged away from the big tiger, but the next second, it pounced into the big tiger's arms and continued to rub against it affectionately.
The big tiger seemed to be angry, and raised its front paw to slap the little tiger.
The little tiger was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly limped towards Gu Lili and the others.
Chang'an quickly pulled Gu Lili back, while also gripping the hoe tightly, ready to attack the little tiger at any moment.
"Everyone be careful!" Chang'an said warily.
Gu Chenxi stood closely beside Gu Lili, ready to protect her at any time.
Although this tiger cub is not yet an adult, it is still a wild beast and should not be underestimated.
For some reason, Gu Lili felt that the little tiger didn't mean any harm.
The little tiger stopped a few meters away from them, and Chang'an was about to swing the hoe in his hand.
Gu Lili quickly put away the tranquilizer gun in her hand and stepped forward to stop Chang'an from wielding the hoe.
"Chang'an, no!" Gu Lili shouted.
Chang'an abruptly stopped what he was doing, but his eyes were fixed on the little tiger opposite him with great vigilance.
The little tiger stared blankly for a moment when it saw the hoe in Chang'an's hand.
After seeing Gu Lili stop Chang'an, the little tiger lay down on the ground, exposing its belly.
Everyone was stunned by the little tiger's sudden action. This action was just like how Big Black usually acted cute.
For some reason, Gu Lili took a few steps forward and reached out to pat the little tiger's head.
This startled everyone, but the little tiger didn't resist at all and just let Gu Lili touch it.
While shocked, Chang'an was also annoyed that he had been distracted and hadn't kept a close eye on Gu Lili. He then fixed his gaze on the big tiger.
As long as it dares to make any unusual moves, Chang'an is ready to strike at any time.
The big tiger watched as Gu Lili and the others accepted the little tiger, then let out a long, mournful cry with all its might, and then fell silent.
Seeing this, the little tiger flipped over and stumbled towards the big tiger.
It ran up to the big tiger, sniffed its breath, and then pounced on the tiger's head, howling.
Upon seeing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Sister, what... what happened?" Gu Yun Chu asked tremblingly.
Looking at the scene before her, Gu Lili had her own guesses.
Perhaps this big tiger came to entrust its orphan to them.
Gu Lili shook her head and said, "I'm not entirely sure either. Let's take another look."
After watching for a while without the tiger making a move, Gu Lili relaxed her guard.
Even if she had a tranquilizer gun, she couldn't guarantee she could escape unscathed from this big tiger.
Gu Lili took out a flashlight and shone it in front of the tiger.
Everyone except Chang'an had seen this flashlight before, but Chang'an wasn't particularly curious.
The tiger remained motionless, so Gu Lili decided to go and take a look herself.
Chang'an saw through Gu Lili's intentions and quickly stopped her again.
"I'll go take a look first." After saying that, Chang'an walked straight ahead without waiting for Gu Lili's reply.
Chang'an walked up to the tiger and gently touched it with the hoe in his hand, but the old tiger remained motionless.
But the little tiger, with its mouth wide open, was met with Chang'an's childish roar.
Seemingly worried that Chang'an might hurt the big tiger, the small creature stood in front of the tiger, assuming a protective posture.
However, he did not step forward to harm Chang'an.
Chang'an said in a low voice, "Lili, the big tiger is gone."
Chang'an understood what the big tiger meant; it was probably using its last bit of strength to entrust the little tiger to Gu Lili.
