Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 31 The Money is Coming
When Shen Xing heard the voice, he looked up and saw a tall, thin, middle-aged man in jungle camouflage standing at the gate. The man looked to be in his forties, with long arms and tanned skin. He was carrying a large textile bag.

Shen Xing's eyes fell on the camouflage uniform on the man. It looked very familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere a few days ago.

"Oh, that's the ranger Dali!" Shen Xing remembered the short-haired female ranger Dali who came to see the tiger cub yesterday. She was also wearing the same jungle camouflage uniform, exactly the same style.

Vaguely, Shen Xing guessed who the visitor was.

When the tiger cub heard the sound and saw a strange two-legged animal coming to the door, it stepped out of its way and ran to the steps at the door, hiding behind Shen Xing.

Ever since Ma Lengzi threatened and intimidated it, saying he would skin it and break its bones to make tiger bone wine, the little tiger cub has been wary of everyone except Shen Xing's family, always feeling that these two-legged beasts have bad intentions.

"You're quite brave, aren't you? When did you become so timid?" Shen Xing couldn't help but joked as he looked at the tiger cub hiding behind him.

The little tiger cub grabbed the hem of Shen Xing's clothes with its two furry paws and refused to let go, and ignored Shen Xing's teasing.

"Excuse me, is this Shen Xing's house?"

Outside the door, the tall and thin man shouted again.

"I'm at home, come in."

Shen Xing replied, got up from the recliner, and went to the door to greet the guest who came down from the mountain.

When the two met, the tall and thin man extended his right hand in a familiar manner and said enthusiastically:

"Comrade Shen Xing, I have long heard of your great name."

Shen Xing's mouth twitched. Famous name? Where did the famous name come from?

Having said that, he also reached out and held the man's right palm.

"you are?"

"My last name is Deng, my given name is Sen, and I'm the station chief of the forest ranger station in this reserve. You can just call me Old Deng."

Sure enough, Shen Xing guessed the man's identity correctly. He was from the forest ranger station on the mountain.

"Hello, Stationmaster Deng." Shen Xing nodded, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Although the other party is a stationmaster, a regular civil servant and a minor official, Shen Xing is not his subordinate, so there is no need to be overly respectful to him. Just treat him as an equal.

Moreover, from Deng Sen's tone, he seemed to be very familiar with the people they met, his tone was gentle, his words were sincere, and coupled with his simple facial features, he gave people the feeling of a simple old farmer in the countryside.

"Comrade Shen Xing, I heard about your legend in the mountains." Deng Sen praised, his eyes full of admiration.

"legend?"

"What legend?"

Shen Xing was confused and asked.

But soon, he realized that this so-called "legend" should be closely related to the forest ranger Dali.

"Making friends with the Siberian tiger, isn't that a legend?" Deng Sen said frankly, with a hint of admiration in his words.

This young man named Shen Xing is really promising at a young age. He looks to be in his early 20s, but he has accomplished something that Deng Sen would never dare to do in his entire life, and indirectly fulfilled his dream.

Yes, Deng Sen's dream is to have a close contact with a wild Siberian tiger in Changbai Mountain. But Deng Sen dare not do so. As the station chief of the forest protection station of Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, he knows the character of the Siberian tiger, a large beast. It is fierce, has a strong sense of territory, is wild, powerful, and has strong destructive power. It can slap a person's head off with one slap.

Dunsen only dared to use infrared to photograph such a ferocious and dangerous wild beast. As for getting close to it and still being able to guarantee his own life, it was simply a fantasy.

Beasts are beasts, not humans, so how can they have a gentle side?

But when Dali returned to the mountain, Stationmaster Deng saw the photos and videos taken by Dali's mobile phone and heard Dali's story about Shen Xing and the tigress, he was immediately shocked!
Deng Sen has been the chief of the forest ranger station in the wildlife reserve on the mountain of Muwu Village for more than 30 years. He has never seen a human being so close to a "National No. 1" Siberian tiger. Not only that, but the human also walked back and forth in front of the tiger with his hands on his hips, as if he was giving a lecture. Moreover, this female tiger weighing more than 500 kilograms did not show any aggression towards Shen Xing. This was a female tiger who had just given birth and was still carrying cubs. Her territorial awareness and aggressiveness were stronger than those of an adult male tiger!

Not only that, the tigress also took the initiative to bring her cub to Shen Xing's house and asked Shen Xing to help feed it.

What does this mean? Deng Sen has more than 30 years of experience in forest protection. He can fully see that this is the tigress's extreme trust in Shen Xing, a human!

The fact that a 500-pound wild Siberian tiger can give its baby to you, isn't this enough to prove Shen Xing's legend?

When Deng Sen saw this scene, he was shocked. There actually are people in this world who make wild animal farmers feel such a strong affinity for them!
There is only one such person among a hundred million people.

At least, at the forest ranger station, Deng Sen and his fellow rangers have rescued many wild animals over the years. They have also encountered large wild animals such as the Siberian tiger and the black bear while patrolling the forest, but they only heard the roar of the tiger and the bear and quickly ran down the mountain, not daring to move forward.

Those are the most ferocious beasts in Changbai Mountain, the Siberian tiger and the blind bear. Who dares to approach and take a photo face to face? Unless you want to die!

Apart from anything else, it was the first time for Dali to take photos and record videos of the Siberian tiger at such a close distance since the forest ranger station was built in Changbai Mountain!
This was also the first time that Stationmaster Deng had seen the clearest and most realistic photos of the appearance of a wild Siberian tiger in his decades of work!

All this... is thanks to Shen Xing, all thanks to Shen Xing.

Therefore, in the eyes of Stationmaster Deng, Shen Xing, who can make friends with "Guoyi" and "communicate" face to face, is a "legend"!
"Stationmaster Deng, what are you talking about? Who is making friends with a Siberian tiger? It's because I saved the tiger cub." Shen Xing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Chinese is a profound language, and one word with two meanings can easily lead to misunderstanding.

Deng Sen smiled happily and said:
"I have mentioned this matter before. Comrade Shen Xing, you have done a great job. The Siberian tigers in our Changbai Mountain are first-class protected animals in China. Their numbers are very rare. The World Conservation Union has even listed them as 'endangered species'."

"You rescued the tiger cub from the trap and brought it home for treatment. This is the right thing to do and it is very meaningful for the promotion of the Wildlife Protection Law. I have reported your good deed to the Forestry Bureau and applied for a reward certificate for you, as well as a financial subsidy for raising the tiger cub."

Deng Sen spoke incessantly, and his tone was a bit official. Shen Xing didn't hear much. He only heard the four words "financial subsidy".

"Well, let me ask, do you think it's appropriate for me to bring the tiger cub home to raise?" Shen Xing always had a concern. Although Dali agreed, he had to agree under the coercion of the tiger mother.

Today he met Deng Sen, the station chief of the forest ranger station who had a say, and expressed his concerns.

"According to common sense, it is inappropriate for you to bring the tiger cub home. This violates the Wildlife Protection Act." Deng Sen spoke up and took the initiative to explain to Shen Xing.

"Wild animals are wild animals after all. They live in primeval forests. Once they come into contact with humans and are domesticated by humans, it will be difficult for them to return to the mountains and forests in the future. Artificially breeding wild animals is not conducive to their survival." Deng Sen explained to Shen Xing very professionally.

"However, considering that the mother tiger took the initiative to put the cub in your home to raise, as staff of the forest ranger station, we respect the mother tiger's wishes and will not interfere too much. As long as you take good care of the cub, there will be no problem."

Deng Sen smiled and spoke frankly. He seemed to see Shen Xing's worry, so he said a few more words to make him feel at ease.

"Oh, that's okay." Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, he changed the subject and asked:

"Let me ask you, how much is this 'funding subsidy'?"
