Chapter 342
The little thing that screamed and stumbled out of the grass was actually a tiger cub as big as a cat.
"How could there be a tiger cub here?" Qin Xiaoxiao stood up quickly and looked around cautiously, fearing that a tigress was lying in wait to feed the three of them and one cat.
"Miss Xiaoxiao, this tiger cub has a flat belly and weak limbs. He must have been hungry for several days."
One of the female guards glanced at the guard cub who was approaching this side, and quickly made a rough guess: "It seems that the tigress was driven to another hunting ground, and unfortunately she got separated from her."
This hunting ground is patrolled and inspected every day to prevent wild beasts from being cleared away and causing danger to people participating in hunting. Therefore, it is unlikely that there is a tigress hiding here.
Fortunately, the other ferocious beasts were also eliminated, so this defenseless little thing was able to survive until now without the protection of the tigress.
"Well, that should be the case." Qin Xiaoxiao's tense nerves relaxed a little. When she saw the tiger cub not far away looking at this side with clear eyes, as if she didn't dare to think about it, she inevitably felt pity.
He opened the food box and took out a few pieces of dried meat and threw them away.
"Ouch!" The hungry tiger cub was attracted by the smell of fried fish fillets they were eating. At this time, it smelled the smell of dried meat. It couldn't hold it in any longer. A tiger pounced forward and took a few pieces of dried meat.
He pressed it under the palm of his hand and ate it hungrily.
A few pieces of dried meat obviously couldn't fill the little guy's stomach. He licked the corner of his mouth and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, and tentatively leaned towards her. His moist little nose moved slightly, obviously he still wanted to eat.
There were only a few pieces of dried meat, so even if I ate them all, it wouldn't be able to fill its stomach.
"Hei Tan, go catch a rabbit and bring it back, okay?" Qin Xiaoxiao dragged Hei Tan back, picked up a piece of dried meat and handed it to it, then patted it on the head three times: "As long as you can
Catch the rabbit, brother Li will hunt something delicious later, and I will let you eat as much as you like."
The two female guards heard clearly and couldn't help but pursed their lips and snickered, thinking that Qin Xiaoxiao was joking. After all, Heitan couldn't understand human speech.
"Meow." Heitan rubbed Qin Xiaoxiao's palm, then circled around the tiger cub twice, frightening the tiger cub to shivering, and then plunged into the grass with great satisfaction.
The two female guards looked at this scene, and their eyes widened in surprise: "Miss Xiaoxiao, can Heitan really understand human speech?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Heitan is very smart. After being taught by Brother Li for a while, it knows how to feed it, and patting its head three times means catching rabbits."
The two female guards suddenly realized: "So that's it! The young master really teaches well, and he can even tame the unruly black raccoon."
They were once the personal guards of the Princess Protector. They got married a few years ago and Princess Protector let them go to raise their children.
This time Qin Xiaoxiao came to the hunting ground, and Jingheng couldn't keep an eye on her all the time, so he chose these two people to be Qin Xiaoxiao's bodyguards temporarily. Therefore, they had rarely come into contact with Heitan before, so they didn't know much about this guy.
ability.
In fact, it is not catching rabbits, it is clearly picking them up.
The reason why we can do this is entirely due to a sentence made by the young and ignorant Qin Xiaoxiao many years ago.
Looking at the place where Heitan disappeared, Qin Xiaoxiao smiled softly and did not continue to mislead the two female guards.
Not long after, Heitan came back happily with a fat rabbit in his mouth. He spit the rabbit in front of Qin Xiaoxiao, rubbed her thigh with his long and thick tail, and cooed coquettishly.
"Ouch!" The tiger cub has not yet been weaned, but has already eaten the prey hunted by the tigress. When it saw the plump rabbit, its yellow tiger eyes did not know how to blink, and it spread its legs and pounced on the rabbit without any hesitation.
Start eating politely.
"Meow!" This move made Heitan very angry, and he raised his paw to slap the tiger cub on the head.
Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed it and touched its head to calm it down: "Give it something to eat. It looks like you at least. Maybe you two were relatives five hundred years ago!"
Heitan didn't understand, so he called out aggrievedly: This rabbit was given to you by me!
The two female guards were delighted to see it and couldn't help but say: "Miss Xiaoxiao, without the protection of the tigress, this tiger cub won't survive long on this mountain. It can be raised as a companion for Heitan."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the tiger cub that was eating rabbit meat fiercely, with its mouth full of blood, and decisively refused: "Forget it, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If you take it back and raise it, it will become a charcoal snack at night."
If she had encountered a big tiger and had a way to get it back, she might have agreed.
The thing in front of me happened to be a little thing with just full hair. It didn't even have a few ounces of meat when it was stewed in the pot. It had to be fed with meat to grow up. This was a loss-making business.
The tiger cub, which was enjoying its meal, suddenly shuddered. It raised its head blankly and looked around. After finding no danger, it continued to eat with confidence. It had no idea that its small body had saved its life.
Xiao Ming'er.
The rabbit was very big, and the tiger cub was full after eating the tenderest piece of meat on its abdomen. I don’t know if it was hungry these days, but it still lay on top of the remaining rabbit, not allowing anyone to get close to it.
Seeing how it protected its food, Qin Xiaoxiao felt more and more unable to adopt it. No matter how cute this guy looked, he was not as sensible and obedient as Heitan.
