Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 35 What! You, a tiger, have a girlfriend?

Old Deng felt frightened when the tiger mom stared at him. What about game or not? It was all rations prepared by the tigress for her cubs. How could he dare to say anything more?
The tiger mother gave her child deer meat yesterday, and elk meat today. Even if she gives her child wild boar meat tomorrow, that is what she prepared for her own child. As a forest ranger, what can he do to interfere?
Nature is cruel. The strong prey on the weak. If you are not strong enough, you will be eaten!

"That's fine." Shen Xing was very satisfied with Lao Deng's awareness.

He looked down at the wild deer at his feet. It was about the same size as the wild muntjac yesterday, weighing about 30 kilograms, with a pair of small horns. Its body was dark brown with some white spots on its back.

"This is a red deer, also known as an elk. It is second only to an elk in size. It feeds on trees, shrubs and herbs. There are quite a lot of them in our Changbai Mountain."

Deng Sen introduced to Shen Xing the little animal in front of them that was killed by the tiger mother. An adult elk can weigh up to 400 kilograms, but the horns of the little animal in front of them have not yet grown, and it weighs only to kilograms. It is obviously a sub-adult elk that has not yet reached adulthood.

"I've heard of it. It's the second largest wild deer in the world." Shen Xing nodded. When he was a child, he heard the older generation of hunters mention that there were some giant deer in the mountains. They had big antlers, ran very fast, and liked to lick salt and alkali.

"Comrade Shen Xing, you are truly amazing. Is this the second time this tigress has offered you prey?"

Looking at the deer carcass at his feet, Dunsen exclaimed.

The wild beasts in the mountains hunted prey and brought it down the mountain to deliver it to humans. This was too unbelievable. Even Old Deng, who had been a forest ranger for more than 30 years, had never seen it before.

"Old Deng, don't get me wrong, this is the rations that Tiger Mom prepared for Xiaotian." Shen Xing replied casually with a comfortable smile on his face.

Old Deng rolled his eyes at him. What did you prepare for the little tiger? Do you really think I'm stupid? How old is the little tiger? It's still breastfeeding. How can it eat so much meat?

You are so good, Shen Xing, you eat game so openly and yet you pretend in front of me, that’s not fair!

However, when he glanced at the prey under his feet, Old Deng was still a little envious. Apart from the fact that eating wild game was illegal, this was more than 40 kilograms of meat, enough to eat for several months!
Thanks to his tiger mom, Shen Xing doesn’t have to go out and can eat meat every meal at home. What a wonderful life!
Looking at the young man with noble features in front of him, Lao Deng felt a little envious. He really wanted to understand one thing: how did Shen Xing make Tiger Mom listen to him so much?
It seemed that as soon as he opened his mouth, the tiger mom restrained her primitive wildness and turned into a docile little kitten?
"Comrade Shen Xing, I'd better stay away from him." Old Deng was self-aware and knew that the Siberian tiger in front of him was only docile to Shen Xing. If an outsider dared to approach and get close to it, he would definitely be eaten.

Shen Xing didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

Tiger Mom still has hostility towards Lao Deng, but she is unwilling to attack Lao Deng, a strange two-legged beast, for her own sake.

"Miss the little guy?" Shen Xing moved closer, stood beside Tiger Mom, and tried to communicate with her mentally.

Old Deng was behind the man and two beasts, watching Shen Xing approach Tiger Mom with trepidation.

Closer and closer, one meter, half a meter, almost touching the wild Siberian tiger weighing more than 500 kilograms.

How dare he do that? How brave!
This was the only thought that Old Deng had when he saw Shen Xing and the tigress standing side by side.

The tiger mom held her head high, her eyes haughty, and didn't even look at Shen Xing, her expression still cold.

Then, it seemed to have thought of something and growled at Shen Xing.

"What? One of your besties is coming to my house?"

Shen Xing was surprised. Tiger’s best friend should also be a tiger, right?
Tiger Mom looked at Shen Xing coldly. "I'm not surprised, I'm just curious, how come you animals also have the term 'best friend'?" Shen Xing understood Tiger Mom's look and replied casually.

In the human world, "bestie" refers to a girl's close friend, with whom she can talk about anything and everything, without any taboos, and eat, watch movies, go shopping, etc. together. "Bestie" is also called "male bestie" and "female bestie", but there is rarely pure friendship between men and women. Those who understand will understand what girls call a "male bestie".

The tiger mom growled again and communicated with Shen Xing mentally, telling Shen Xing that her best friend had already gone down the mountain and would be entering the village soon.

Old Deng watched the "conversation" between the man and the beast. He was puzzled. What was going on? They were chatting? Could a human understand a tiger? Could a tiger understand a human?

Old Deng took off his camouflage hat and scratched his head. He was very curious about how Shen Xing was able to communicate with the tiger so smoothly?
"Tiger Mom, is your best friend a boy or a girl...Oh, no, is she a male or a female?" Shen Xing asked, becoming curious.

Tiger Mom glanced at Shen Xing coldly, as if she was disdainful of answering his question.

"Ah!" The little tiger cub roared towards the sound in a baby voice.

Shen Xing couldn't handle it in front of the tiger mother, so he had to glare at the tiger cub and threaten it, "When your mother comes back to the mountain, I will show you how I will deal with you!"
Suddenly, the tiger mom raised her head and sniffed the air. She gave Shen Xing a look and nodded to signal Shen Xing to look towards the outer area of ​​Changbai Mountain.

"What? She's here so soon!" Shen Xing was a little panicked for no reason. This tiger mom's "best friend" also came down the mountain and into the village, and she came so soon!

Being able to be best friends with the "number one" Siberian tiger in the country, her status must be not too bad. "Could it be another Siberian tiger?" Shen Xing pondered.

Wild beasts walk alone while cattle and horses travel in herds. In Changbai Mountain, the Siberian tiger is a solitary animal. Generally, after becoming pregnant and giving birth, the adult female tiger will raise the cubs alone. After all, there are few tiger mothers who live in groups with male tigers. After mating with a male tiger and becoming pregnant, the female tiger will take the initiative to leave the male tiger and be alone. This is because they are afraid that the male tiger will eat the cubs after they are born. The saying "even poisonous tigers will not eat their own cubs" is actually not quite right. Tigers have a strong sense of territory. If they find their cubs are threatening, they will eat them. The same goes for female tigers. Once the cubs are contaminated with other odors or are too weak to survive on their own, they will also eat them.

Survival of the fittest, this is the inevitable law of nature.

This is why Shen Xing was surprised that the tiger mom had a "best friend". In his impression, tigers are solitary creatures and should not have "best friends" or "friends".

But he suddenly thought, humans, as two-legged animals, often call their friends to play LOL in a group, and have their own "social circle". Maybe wild beasts like Tiger Mom also have their own "social circle"!

The tiger mom glanced at Shen Xing and gave him a look. She was very smart and saw through Shen Xing's worries. She signaled him not to worry. She had told her best friend to try not to provoke the two-legged beasts and not to hurt the villagers. She let her best friend come to her by smelling her scent.

Shen Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Tiger Mom say this.

He was afraid that Tiger Mom's best friend, this beast, would hurt the villagers and attack livestock, which would be troublesome.

Tiger Mom suddenly shouted loudly towards the entrance of Muwu Village, "Are you here?" Shen Xing understood Tiger Mom's roar.

Soon, after a breath, there was a response of beast roar from the entrance of the village. The roar was loud and sounded like a tiger's roar.

When Old Deng heard the beast's roar, his scalp went numb and he couldn't help but tremble.

"What...what's going on? Why...another one?"
