No matter how Mu Huaixi shook, the golden pupil in the cave still revealed its full appearance.
A huge white tiger slowly walked out of the cave. Its eyes were brighter than the moon and sparklers than gold, but there were countless wounds and bloodstains on its white fur. There were also gnats lingering around its body, and it seemed that the wounds had rotted.
Mu Huaixi then realized that its eyes were bright, but its fur was dirty and dull, and its nose was white and dry. It was obvious that it was sick.
When the boy who could command monkeys saw the big white tiger, he pounced on it intimately and rubbed it's messy chest hair, making gurgling sounds as he rubbed.
Mu Huaixi felt that the sound was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, the sound was similar to the purring of a kitten when it saw its mother.
So, this white tiger is the boy’s relative?
The fear in her heart subsided a little, but she still didn't have the courage to go forward. After all, this was a beast that was taller than her when standing, and its claws were huge and thick. Even though it looked fluffy and cute, one could imagine the miserable state she would suffer if it pawed her.
"Please, please." The young man had been intimate with Baihu, then turned around and knelt in front of her, his eyes, as clear as Baihu's, full of pleading.
Mu Huaixi's heart was deeply touched, but she looked at her weak legs and feet and her unconsciously trembling hands, shook her head and stretched her hand in front of the boy.
The white tiger suddenly growled, and a fishy wind swept across her face. She took several steps back, her heart pounding, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The young man reached out his hand to help her up, and comforted her with his unskilled words, "I, you, together. Don't be afraid."
Mu Huaixi smiled bitterly. She didn't want to be afraid, but this was obviously her body's spontaneous reaction. She felt that it was an extraordinary thing that she could stay awake when she was less than three meters away from the king of beasts.
"I, together, together," the young man pulled her up, dragged her forcefully to the white tiger, and pressed her hand on the white tiger.
The sudden expansion of the muscles under her palm made Mu Huaixi jump with fear, but the white tiger just turned its head to look at her, then lay obediently on the spot, its thick tail swaying gently from side to side, looking very comfortable.
The white tiger had many wounds on its body, and it looked like it had had a fierce fight with other beasts. Mu Huaixi was afraid at first, but gradually she was attracted by the wounds on its body and forgot her fear.
"Water," Mu Huaixi cleaned the rotten flesh on the huge bite mark near its buttocks, wiped the sweat off his face and said to the nervous boy beside him. He blinked confusedly, then ran into the woods, but was grabbed by Mu Huaixi's arm.
"You can't leave!" Mu Huaixi was so anxious that sweat came out of her nose. She shook her arm that was being pulled and thought to herself that he couldn't leave. Without this person to support her, she would soon become a small cookie in the white tiger's mouth.
The boy blinked before he understood what she meant. He stopped and pointed at the tree next to him. After she slowly let go of her hand, he quickly broke off a few large banana leaves and then whistled.
A few monkeys came roaring from a distance, stopped on the tree farthest from the white tiger, and tucked their tails between their legs.
No one knew what the boy communicated with the monkeys. Several monkeys left with the rolled-up banana leaves. Mu Huaixi saw him come back before going to treat other wounds.
Originally, she should have used alcohol for disinfection, but she came in a hurry and did not have so many disinfection tools with her. Secondly, alcohol was too irritating, and she was afraid that Lord White Tiger could not bear it and would turn around and give her a claw.
Mu Huaixi used the water brought back by the monkey to clean Baihu's wounds, applied medicinal powder, and applied the Golden Spear Compress directly to the serious areas such as the neck.
Perhaps it was the coolness of the medicine, or perhaps it was the absence of mosquito and fly bites, the white tiger felt much more comfortable, and its tail swung more comfortably.
But Mu Huaixi still felt something was wrong. She always felt that the wounds on the white tiger's body would not make it so weak. Recalling the scene when the white tiger just walked out, a light bulb went off in her mind and she stared at its abdomen.
"......", Mu Huaixi's nose was sweating again. Even if she didn't understand tigers, she had touched cats and knew that their belly was a taboo place.
“Awoo~~~~~~~~~~”
Suddenly, a ferocious roar was heard in the distance, startling the birds on several nearby hills. Mu Huaixi was frightened and almost jumped up. What shocked her even more was that the young man next to her suddenly looked ferocious, climbed up the tree in a few seconds, and howled several times towards the source of the roar.
However, the white tiger lying beside her looked lazy and growled softly a few times, as if trying to comfort the boy.
Mu Huaixi also looked in the direction where the roar came from. She could sense from the wind and from her vague sensations that there was a beast in that direction that was more ferocious than a white tiger.
She suddenly remembered the animal encyclopedia knowledge she had read in a book. Tigers are solitary animals with a strong sense of territory. This white tiger might have lost the battle for territory with other animals and was injured and hiding in the cave.
When Mu Huaixi's consciousness dispersed, the boy had already exchanged several roars with the beasts in the distant mountains, but it was obvious that his small body was no match for the beasts. After he roared until his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he jumped down from the tree in indignation, Mu Huaixi pointed at the white tiger and touched his belly.
The boy understood what was going on at once, and walked to the side of the white tiger and played with it for a while. The white tiger's throat gurgled for a while, and it reluctantly lay on its side, revealing its belly which was also stained with blood.
Mu Huaixi took a step forward hesitantly, but was threatened by the white tiger's bared fangs and immediately froze in place.
"Don't, don't be afraid," the young man comforted the white tiger and stretched out his hand to her.
The moment Mu Huaixi held his hand, she realized how damp her palm was. She forced herself to look at the white tiger's wound and said to herself in her heart, "I'm going to brag about being able to have such close contact with such a beautiful beast when I get back."
There was a palm-sized wound on the white tiger's abdomen. Although it was not big, it was right in the soft lower abdomen, and the intestines were hanging out. No wonder it was so strong and weak.
Mu Huaixi used scissors to cut short the hair around the wound on its abdomen, and then cleaned the wound with water. Fortunately, the intestines were not rotten. She stuffed the fallen part back in, found the largest needle, hesitated for a long time, and gestured to the boy twice.
The boy seemed to realize what she was about to do, tears welled up in his eyes, and then he pounced over and hugged the white tiger's head, letting it whimper and grumble, and refused to let go no matter how she threatened.
Mu Huaixi didn't have any anesthetic on her, so she could only harden her heart and sew the torn flesh together.
She tried to minimize the number of stitches, but still went back and forth ten times. The white tiger's paws stretched out its sharp claws, but she ignored them until she had cut the end of the stitches, then she fell to the ground exhausted.
