The river fish were very plump and delicious, bigger and more tender than before.
Seeing that her mother wasn't angry, the tigress immediately relaxed and quickly began eating the fish; that last bite had completely whetted her appetite.
"Awooo!"
Just as Tiger Mom was enjoying her meal, Lin Qian came over with a fish bone that had been licked clean.
The little tiger cub was helpless; his claws couldn't scratch the fish scales, and his teeth couldn't bite through the fish bones...
Absolutely amazing!
Hearing that the cubs "couldn't bite it," the tiger mom almost laughed.
He licked the cub's little head to comfort it, then hooked the fish bone into his mouth and bit it.
A series of clicking and rubbing sounds rang out, and a look of confusion appeared in Tiger Mom's eyes.
It can't bite it...
Lin Qian fell silent when he saw the fish bones being thrown back onto the ice. Was this thing really that hard?
Even an adult tiger couldn't bite it?
No, Tiger Mom is now stronger than a typical adult tiger!
Over there, Courage struggled against the fish skull for quite some time before giving up.
The little guy came running over with a fish skull in his mouth, begging for help.
Yes, the little guy wasn't offering the bones to his tiger mom to eat; he wanted her to help him break the fish bones into pieces.
So what if it can't bite through it? As long as it can be swallowed, it's food!
Yes, that's how simple the little tiger's thoughts are!
Knowing the meaning of courage, Lin Qian decisively confiscated the fish skull.
What are you thinking? Even Tiger Mom can't chew this stuff, how can your stomach digest it?
If he had known, he wouldn't have let Yongqi eat the whole fish head. That guy is really brave!
Courage felt wronged and angry.
But knowing it couldn't beat its brother, it turned and rubbed against its mother's leg, howling loudly, its accusation clear.
The tiger mom said she wouldn't interfere, but this stuff definitely shouldn't be given to the cubs.
Lin Qian skewered the fish skull through the tail of the fish and then placed it under the belly, which was quite domineering.
Courage's shouting not only failed to get his mother to uphold justice, but he was also sternly told not to eat fish bones.
The little tiger looked dejected, half-heartedly chewing on a big fish while looking at the fish bones that his older brother had taken over. His little ears drooped, and his eyes were watery and pitiful.
Lin Qian felt guilty staring at him, and after thinking for a moment, he kicked the fish skull over.
This thing is quite big and has no fragrance, so even if you have the courage, nothing will happen.
Although the little guy is a bit silly, he won't actually be foolish enough to swallow the whole fish skull. Without the lure of a delicious aroma, he'll still follow his eating habits.
The fish skull rolled to his front, and Courage hugged it tightly, happily licking it.
The little tiger's ears twitched excitedly instantly.
"Aww~"
It licked the fish skull twice, marking it with its scent. The little tiger then scurried over to Lin Qian, wiggling its tail and acting cute.
Lin Qian nuzzled its fluffy neck. The little guy was still young, so she should spoil him as much as possible.
Yeah, they won't hold back when it comes to beating someone up.
The little cub's pitiful appearance is just too heartbreaking!
Courage doesn't necessarily need to eat this stuff; it's just angry that what it has has been taken away.
Now that he's not angry anymore, the little guy's appetite immediately returned, and he happily started munching on the fish.
Not many fish are jumping out of the hole anymore, but every now and then some unlucky ones still fail to fall back into the water and crash onto the ice with a splash, making them dizzy and disoriented.
This resulted in the ice surface near the ice hole being almost entirely covered with fish. In the freezing cold, the fish that fell onto the ice would freeze solid within minutes.
Therefore, very few of them manage to slip back into the river.
Unless it lands right on the edge of the hole, then wagging its tail a few times might give it a chance to struggle to get out.
A tiger was eating its fill of fish on the river when three birds of prey began to circle overhead.
Lin Qian's eyesight is now good enough for him to distinguish what kind of birds are in the sky: an eagle and two golden eagles.
The two golden eagles were the same ones he recognized; they were the same golden eagle couple who had almost lost their dignity when they were threatened by the red-throated eagle.
Unexpectedly, they still came out together.
He remembered that golden eagles would live together, but they would go out to hunt separately. How come they are now paired up?
Lin Qian couldn't figure it out and didn't care anymore; he was more troubled by the fish all over the ground.
If there aren't many left, he won't bother with them and will just sell them off cheaply to those who want a bargain.
But there were just too many fish left, enough for the whole family to have another half-full meal, and they couldn't bear to leave them here.
He was acutely aware of the difficulty of hunting in winter, and he knew he couldn't afford to waste a single bite of food!
He didn't want to go hungry.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qian howled and told Tiger Mom and Courage to stay here while he and the tigress went back to get the animal skin.
Yes, he wanted to use animal hides to carry the fish!
Although they weren't sewn together, many of the animal hides were completely peeled off. If the holes in the limbs were tied up, they could hold at least five or six fish.
This is all thanks to the tiger mother's skinning skills. Once she became proficient, she loved to skin the animals whole.
The tiger mother was used to her cub's whimsical ideas, so she had no objections and lay down on a pile of fish next to the hole, ready for action.
Courage tirelessly picked up the fish that had fallen to the side and had not yet gathered together; these were mostly meat, food!
We absolutely cannot let those bad guys in the sky steal it!
The little guy has a strong possessiveness when it comes to food. Without Lin Qian and Tiger Mom teaching him, he actively piles fish around Tiger Mom.
The birds were furious and helpless at the sight of the tiger's domineering manner.
