Chapter 120 Let’s Raise a Tiger
Everyone rested around the fire, took out some remaining food from their bags, roasted it over the fire and had a meal.
Then they discovered something.
The homemade dry food biscuits that Zhang Moyu and Zhang Qiling brought were really delicious after being roasted over fire.
The skin is crispy and the inside is soft and glutinous. It has the aroma of whole grains and the taste of meat. The key is that this thing is not only delicious, but also more filling than compressed biscuits.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is more delicious than the luncheon meat they buy.
It’s worthy of being a recipe that has been refined by the Zhang family for a thousand years.
After dinner, they used rock-paper-scissors to randomly select four people to keep watch, two in a group, in the first and second half of the night.
The first half of the night was with Xie Yuchen and Zhang Moyu, and the second half was with Hei Xiazi and Xie Jingan.
Looking at those people huddled together, closing their eyes and sleeping, Fatty Wang even started snoring.
Xie Yuchen stared at the leaping flames with empty eyes, his gaze a little dazed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
It's been very lively around him recently, and now that it's suddenly quiet, Zhang Moyu feels a little bored.
After casually fiddling with the pebbles on the ground, Zhang Moyu turned his gaze to the two tigers curled up on the haystack.
He picked up a small stone between two fingers and threw it gently over there.
The pebble drew a graceful arc in the air and, with a bang, hit one of the tigers on the head.
The male tiger who was sleeping with his wife in his arms suddenly raised his head and met Zhang Moyu's half-smile.
The male tiger exhaled two streams of air from its nostrils. Seeing Zhang Moyu hooking two fingers at it, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes in a human-like manner.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he finally chose to succumb to the tyranny of this hateful black unicorn, left his warm little nest, and walked towards this side slowly with tiger steps.
The other tigress noticed the movement, raised her head to take a look, and fluttered her ears, as if she felt that Zhang Moyu had no ill intentions. She curled up into a ball with peace of mind and continued to sleep.
Zhang Moyu rubbed the head of the male tiger that came over, scratched its chin as if teasing it, pinched its ears, and finally purred on its fur. He was very satisfied with the feel.
Sure enough, petting cats makes people happy.
He patted the ground beside him, motioning it to lie down beside him, then Zhang Moyu leaned sideways on the tiger, with one arm casually resting on the tiger's head, and the other half hugging it, occasionally rubbing the hair on the male tiger's neck.
The male tiger did not dare to resist at all under the shock of the black unicorn bloodline. He could only lie on the ground, staring at Zhang Qiling who was resting with his eyes closed on the other side with a resentful and expectant look.
The three Qilin bloodlines of the Zhang family each have their own strengths and weaknesses. If the Golden Qilin is the natural king of all beasts, revered and welcomed by all, then the Black Qilin is the judge who holds the power of life and death, earning both respect and fear.
After a while, the tiger felt very comfortable being kneaded by Zhang Moyu's hands and let out a relaxed snoring sound.
Suddenly, a low and regular sound rang in his ears, which obviously did not sound like it came from a human. Xie Yuchen immediately came back to his senses from his distracted state.
Xie Yuchen felt his eyelids twitch when he took a look at the tiger being teased by Zhang Moyu as a pet. Although he was somewhat frightened to be so close to such a large carnivore, he would be lying if he said he was not envious when he saw the man and the tiger living in harmony and looking so close.
Although cats and tigers are both felines, the feeling of petting them is definitely different.
Seeing that Jie Yuchen had a faint look of envy on his face, Zhang Moyu took the initiative to wave at him and invited him to pet the cat.
Xie Yuchen readily came over and sat down next to the tiger on the other side, then began to touch the male tiger's shiny fur.
"Don't they feel good in your hands? These big cats are gentle and cute, and they're a delight to look at."
Zhang Moyu said this in a low voice with a smile, which made Xie Yuchen's thoughts stuck for a moment.
Gentle temperament? Cute appearance?
Did you mean tiger?
Xie Yuchen asked a question from the soul, and then he thought that Zhang Moyu was a member of the older generation of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family members were ridiculously powerful. Maybe they used to raise tigers as pet cats.
As expected, Zhang Moyu said this with an exclamation.
"In the past, the tribe also raised more than a dozen large cats, all specially raised to teach the newly transformed Qilin to walk. In addition to this common variety with yellow, black and white fur, there was also a black and white one with blue eyes, which was particularly beautiful."
Xie Yuchen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He felt that it was a waste of talent to let the tigers teach the little Qilin to walk, but he also felt that it was a blessing for the tigers.
After struggling for a long time, I could only give him a thumbs up to show my respect.
"Actually, if you like them, you can take these two home and raise them. I see that the female over there is already pregnant. I think she will give birth to a bunch of cubs in a while. They will be more like close friends when they are young."
Zhang Moyu made a sincere suggestion, of course there was a little selfishness in it.
His current condition is not suitable for raising these little pets. It is estimated that he will have to wait for a while at the latest, find the seven tribesmen who were resurrected by the world consciousness, and delegate all the necessary tasks before he can have time to rest.
And they cannot be kept in Hei Xiazi's home. At the very least, a temporary tribe base must be built outside and relevant protective measures must be arranged.
But if Xie Yuchen raised two at the Xie family, it would be different.
He doesn't have to worry about anything, and he can go over and pet the cats for free from time to time. This is simply great for the Zhang family, who love fur but are afraid of trouble.
"Ahem, that's not necessary. I just like it a little bit, there's no need."
Xie Yuchen decisively refused.
Not everyone is like the Zhang family, who have high martial arts skills and special bloodline bonuses, and can raise tigers as cats without any psychological burden.
Besides, times have changed.
In this country, it is illegal to privately keep tigers.
It is too troublesome to obtain a license to raise tigers, and even if you run a park, you won’t make much money.
In general, raising a tiger is not only restrictive but also expensive. His money didn't just come from the wind, so there's no need to waste it just because of a momentary hobby.
He remembered that the Xie family had two Maine Coons, which looked very majestic and powerful. After all, they were both felines, so it would be nice to use it as a substitute.
Gently changing the subject, Xie Yuchen began to talk about other things.
"I don't know where Wu Sansheng is now. Since this is a trap set by him, he must have come too. However, we left too quickly this time and didn't run into him."
"What game? Did he plot against you?"
Zhang Moyu is still unclear about this matter. He originally thought that this was just an ordinary tomb visit. At most, the leader Jie Laoyang had ill intentions. How could Wu Sansheng be involved here?
Xie Yuchen imitated his posture and half leaned on the tiger, speaking slowly.
"I'm not entirely sure what they're planning, but what I do know is that there are traces of his tampering behind the three tombs Wu Xie visited, and... this matter is a bit complicated."
Hearing him say this, the sharp-eyed Zhang Moyu instantly thought of the three tombs Wuxie had experienced, which were the three that his little Qilin had visited during this period.
He remembered that when they first met, he felt that Wu Sansheng was a very scheming person, and his intentions were so hidden that even he couldn't figure them out.
Being able to find his position quickly and accurately even when he was deliberately hiding, Wu Sansheng is definitely not an ordinary person.
Zhang Moyu narrowed his eyes dangerously, wondering if Wu Sansheng had included Zhang Qiling in his plan.
No matter who he wants to invite into the game, or what he is planning in his mind, it is his fault that he is plotting against the head of his own family!
The patriarch's prestige cannot be challenged!
It was like this in the past and it is still like this now. This is the cohesion of the Zhang family.
It was decided that when he returned and found some time, he would go to Wu's house, put Wu Sansheng in a sack, and beat him up first.
At this time, Jie Lian, who was searching for people in the mountains and forests in the heavy rain with a few trusted confidants, suddenly sneezed loudly.
He rubbed his nose and thought that it was because the rain was too heavy and the temperature was too low, so he had some signs of catching a cold.
There was no doubt at all that something bad was going to happen.
