Neither Mr. Ding nor his wife could convince the other, and they quarreled until their faces were red and they occasionally pushed each other.
Mimi squatted on the ground. Ever since the Ding couple started arguing, it put away its lazy look and kept staring at them vigilantly.
Although the lynx is a feline and looks like a big cat, Tian Cai has been feeding Mimi with dew. It has grown bigger than any other lynx in the mountains and looks ferocious and majestic. Its two thick front paws stand on the ground, and its sharp claws are visible, which looks very powerful.
Mimi hadn't shown up in the village for a long time, and mostly came back at night to accompany Tian Cai. She had been lying there just now and no one noticed anything, but now she sat up and didn't seem to have the docile nature she had shown before. Even Ding Xuehong was frightened and her face turned pale.
Fortunately, the mountain cat just squatted on the ground, staring at her parents with its golden eyes, and did not give her any.
Tian Cai saw that the couple was arguing but did not go over to mediate. She ignored them and walked forward to completely remove the quilt from Xiao Shitou. She also asked Ding Xuehong, who was staring at Mimi, to bring a wet towel over, remove his clothes and wipe his palms, soles of his feet, armpits and other places, trying to make him feel more comfortable.
Mrs. Ding, who was arguing, turned around and saw this scene. She immediately became angry and rushed over to pull Tian Cai's hair.
At that moment, Mimi let out a deafening roar and pounced towards Mrs. Ding.
It was squatting on the ground, and the room was so small, but it arrived in front of Mrs. Ding in the blink of an eye.
When hunting, wild beasts like bobcats bite their prey's throat directly, killing it with one blow.
When Mimi pounced in front of Mrs. Ding, she hadn't reacted yet. It was not until she was knocked to the ground and hit the wall behind her that she finally reacted and screamed in fright.
"ah--"
"Mimi, don't—"
Mimi's sharp fangs were just resting on the side of Mrs. Ding's neck, ready to bite at any time.
Mrs. Ding was so frightened that she paid no attention to anything else. She could already smell the fishy smell in the bobcat's mouth and the cool feeling of its fangs touching her skin.
"Mimi, come back."
Hearing Tian Cai scream again, Mimi reluctantly closed her mouth, got up from Mrs. Ding, walked slowly to Tian Cai and rubbed her.
Mrs. Ding was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she was better than Zheng Wang at the beginning and did not make a joke like wetting her pants.
Tian Cai was really angry at this time. Even though Mimi had just scared someone, she didn't intend to hide her anger. If she didn't say anything, everyone would think she was easy to bully, and they even wanted to attack her.
"Are you sick?" Tian Cai swung the wet towel in his hand directly at the face of the prone Mrs. Ding, making a crisp sound. "It was your family who banged on the door in the middle of the night and asked me to come to see a doctor, as if I was begging you to come. He's your son, not mine. What does his illness caused by the fever have to do with me?"
The towel hit Mrs. Ding's face directly. She trembled and didn't dare to move. She didn't know whether she was scared by Mimi just now or she was shocked that Tian Cai was not easy to bully. Anyway, she was obedient at this moment.
Boss Ding was also frightened by Mimi. He also knew that Tian Cai had a bobcat, which always looked quite gentle, but this was the first time he saw it go crazy and want to bite someone.
He looked at his wife's pale face, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He had known before that Doctor Tian was not a good-tempered person, but he always smiled when he saw her and never refused anything she said. Now he finally saw it for himself.
Boss Ding was a little hesitant. His family had offended her so much. Women are narrow-minded. This girl would definitely take revenge on Shi Tou. How could he still treat Shi Tou well?
He showed it on his face even though he was thinking this in his heart. However, he was afraid of offending people, so he had to bow and scrape to Tian Cai and apologize. "I'm really sorry, Doctor Tian, please don't bother with this ignorant old woman. Look--"
As soon as Tian Cai saw him like that, he understood. Without wasting any words, he packed up the medicine box and left with Mimi. But after walking five or six meters, he felt that his conscience was against him, so he turned around and walked back.
Before Boss Ding could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the girl coming back.
Tian Cai pushed the door open with a cold face and said, "I advise you to take the child to the health center as soon as possible."
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang and left.
The Ding family had just made quite a noise. The night was already quiet, and suddenly there were sounds of quarreling and shouting, followed by the roars of wild beasts and the screams of women. It was hard not to hear them.
The two educated youth homes are closest to the Ding family.
"What was that sound just now?" Li Jia was so frightened that she sat up suddenly. "Is it a wild animal? Is it a tiger? How could a tiger run into the village?"
She was still thinking during the day that this village is so close to the mountain, might some wild animals come here? And then some really came, this place is too dangerous!
Li Lili was also startled just now, but she quickly realized that the sound came from the side and she didn't hear anyone else shouting. It was probably the lynx of Tian Cai that made the sound.
Hearing Li Jia say this, she curled her lips and said, "I heard that there are all kinds of wild animals in the mountains, tigers, bears, blind men, wild boars, and everything in between."
Li Jia became even more frightened.
"Hey, Lili, I was just kidding!" He Yuzhen spoke up to smooth things over. She guessed what was going on outside. "That sound is probably from the lynx that Doctor Tian keeps. I've heard it once before, and it's exactly the same sound."
"Lynx? Isn't it really a tiger?" Li Jia wrapped the quilt tightly around herself. Only then did she realize that it was not a good idea to sit near the window. If the beast broke in through the window, wouldn't she be the first to suffer?
"It's a lynx, also called a mountain cat or mountain raccoon here. It's not big, about the size of a dog. You don't have to be afraid."
Li Jia finally felt relieved and lay down again. After repeatedly confirming with He Yuzhen that it was only a bobcat that was screaming, he tossed and turned for most of the night. Only after making sure that there was no danger did he sleep next to the two of them.
The situation in the male educated youth dormitory on the other side was similar. Unlike the female educated youth dormitory, there were five male educated youth before, and two more came this time, making a total of seven people squeezed into two rooms. The room with three people was okay, but the other room with four people was a bit crowded.
"Did you hear that? What was that sound just now?" Xu Dongming whispered.
"I heard it," Zheng Xiuyan, who hadn't fallen asleep either. He was used to his bed and it was already the second night and he still hadn't adjusted. "It sounded like something was roaring. It sounded like a lion or a tiger or something like that?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Dongming sat up with a startled look, his face horrified. "Did he really get in? Was it a tiger?"
Liu Yanlin was closest to the two of them and was about to fall asleep. She was startled when Xu Dongming suddenly stood up. "What are you doing? Making a fuss!"
Xu Dongming suddenly became anxious and stood up to find a place to hide. "Didn't you hear it? There was a tiger roaring outside just now. It sounded like it was nearby!"
"It's not a tiger. Judging from the noise, it should be Doctor Tian's Mimi." Liu Yanlin turned over and yawned, tucking the quilt between his legs and said drowsily, "But that guy rarely barks like that. I don't know who provoked it."
Doctor Tian? Xiuzhenyan's heart moved.
