Zhang Shouyi was very satisfied with Zhenye's performance.
They must be able to quickly detect and react to their surroundings. Most importantly, they must possess leadership skills.
Liu Jingze was also quite satisfied with Zhenye, seeing its potential to become the head of the company.
They proceeded cautiously, and even when they spotted animals, they did not intervene.
Walking through the pine forest, surrounded by dense pine trees and with squirrels occasionally leaping among them, I felt even more tense.
Zhang Hongmei smelled the fragrant pine scent and found it particularly pleasant.
After walking for about an hour, we finally emerged from the pine forest. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, why didn't we see any large animals?"
"I'm not sure either. Maybe we just missed it. It's okay. We can wander around the valley today and look around tomorrow. I think we'll definitely run into it."
"Brother Zhang, shall we go up the mountain right away?"
"You're fine as long as you're not tired." Among everyone, Zhang Hongmei probably has the worst physical strength. If she can do it, then the others won't have a problem.
"I can do it, let's go."
This hill is not high, and it is quite unique. It cannot be said that it is completely barren, but there is very little vegetation on it.
Standing on the mountaintop, I looked down at the lush valley below and the distinctly different mountains opposite.
"Mom, this place is a bit special," Zhenye whispered to Zhang Hongmei.
"Yes, Mom felt the same way the first time she came. Because of time constraints, I didn't get to look around carefully. There are so many good things here. I picked a lot of ginseng. And there are many other things I don't recognize."
Brother Zhang, let's go downstairs. Last time I witnessed a tiger fighting a wolf, and the tiger won. So many years have passed; I wonder if the tiger is still around.
"Zhang Hongmei, you're really bold."
"We were ignorant and fearless back then. Let's go." Zhang Hongmei didn't want to dwell on this issue, otherwise Zhang Shouyi would keep nagging.
A dozen or so people came down the mountain. For them, going down the mountain was quite easy.
"Mom, weren't you scared being all alone back then?"
"No, I was just thinking about making more food."
The four children all felt sorry for their mother. She must have had nothing to eat back then; it was so pitiful.
Zhang Shouyi held Zhang Hongmei's hand as they stood at the foot of the mountain.
"Boss, we need to be careful. With so many of us, we're a big target. Why aren't we seeing any large wild animals?" A was getting a little uneasy.
"Attention everyone."
Just as Zhang Shouyi finished speaking, a tiger's roar was suddenly heard. And the sound was not far away.
Everyone went on high alert, and they could see the tall grass rustling in the distance.
The four children were eager to try, and the four trainees stood beside them.
It was only a few minutes later that the tiger's silhouette came into view.
"Master, we want to give it a try." Zhang Ruifeng's eyes were fixed straight ahead, but Jia knew he was being addressed.
What kind of weapon do you use?
"Master, it's the dagger. I want to see how fast the tiger is. If we really can't hold on any longer, it will open its mouth."
"Okay, but you need to figure out how to deal with it."
"clear."
The eight of them were ready, and the tiger stopped only ten meters away from them.
It stared intently at Zhang Hongmei. Suddenly, it let out a long howl and slowly approached Zhang Hongmei.
The four children were shocked to see this and knew they couldn't possibly go after their mother.
“Wait a minute. I don’t think it means any harm. If it really is the same tiger from before, I rescued it and treated it with medicine. Your father and uncle are with me, so there won’t be any danger.”
The eight people stopped after hearing Zhang Hongmei's words, but they slowly surrounded it.
The tiger stopped again when it was two meters away from Zhang Hongmei, suddenly sat down, and stared at her.
Zhang Hongmei tentatively took a step forward. "You still remember me?"
After saying that, I felt pretty silly. What's the point of communicating with an animal? Do you expect it to understand human speech?
But a miracle happened; the tiger actually nodded.
Everyone was stunned. Could this tiger understand human speech?
"Nod if you understand what I'm saying."
The tiger actually nodded. Zhang Hongmei smiled then.
"You're not going to attack us, are you?"
"May I stay here for the night?"
The tiger nodded.
"Thank you. We won't do anything to harm you or bother you. You can leave now."
But the tiger did not leave.
What does this mean? "You want to see me?"
The tiger nodded again. He stood up, turned around, and even glanced back at Zhang Hongmei.
"You mean you want me to come with you?"
The tiger nodded.
"Okay then, but we're together, we have to go together."
The tiger stopped and roared fiercely at Jia.
"What exactly do you mean? I don't understand either! Can't we go together?"
The tiger nodded, but its gaze toward the four children was gentle.
"Brother Zhang, you and your four children stand beside me, and let's walk forward as a family of six. Let's see if it agrees?"
The family of six took a few steps forward, and the tiger did not object. Lu Jing followed, and the tiger let out another low growl.
"All of you pitch your tents and wait for us to return. A, you can take the four of them around and explore, but don't look for us."
Xiao Li, Lu Jing, and Jia all spoke at the same time, "Leader!"
"It's alright. Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Liu Jingze was unwilling to give up and wanted to follow, but Tiger still disagreed.
There was nothing anyone could do but watch as the family disappeared into the bushes.
Xiao Li and Lu Jing wanted to follow, but were stopped by Jia.
"Follow orders."
Liu Jingze was really upset, he was so worried about Zhang Hongmei and the four children.
A glanced at him and said, "Don't act on your own."
"But."
"No buts."
The family of six followed behind the tiger, all quite puzzled.
"Mom, why can we?"
"Mom, this tiger is so smart, it can even understand what you're saying."
“I don’t know what’s going on either, but I feel like it won’t hurt us.”
“Mom, I feel the same way. I didn’t sense any hostility from it.”
“Animals are actually very intelligent. It recognized your mother, that you were born from her and I am her man, so it allowed us to be together.”
"Dad, is that really true?" Zhenye looked at his father with doubt.
"I don't know either, but this is the result of my analysis."
"This tiger must be incredibly powerful!" Zhang Weiyu exclaimed excitedly. "There are animals this intelligent?"
Gu Yaozu was also excited. A tiger was actually leading the way for his family!
