Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Tang Li pointed to the backpack not far away and ordered him, "Go and bring me the backpack."

Wang Yu looked up at her in surprise. "Me?"

Seeing that Wang Yuyu didn't move, Tang Li gently patted his head. "What are you standing there for? Go get your backpack. Do you still want to eat meat or not?"

"You want me to get it? Do you think I'm a watchdog? I'm a majestic Siberian tiger!"

He snorted softly, immediately lay down on the spot, rested his head on his paws, and stared unblinkingly at Tang Li, adopting a "die-hard" posture. "Whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going!"

"You pet owner, hurry up and get it to me!"

Looking at his lazy and gluttonous appearance, Tang Li sighed helplessly, "Sigh, what a lazybones!"

She shook her head and had no choice but to walk towards her backpack.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yu immediately scrambled to his feet and quickly followed, rubbing against Tang Li's legs, showing none of the "I'd rather die than submit" spirit he had displayed earlier.

Walking to the backpack, Tang Li glanced at the clingy tiger beside her and teased him deliberately, "Didn't you say you didn't want to move? Why did you follow me again? Do you want some meat?"

"Awooo!" Wang Yu let out a low growl, stretching out her paws and frantically trying to open the backpack zipper, her eyes urgent, her mind urging, "Stop talking nonsense, just open it!"

"I want water! I want meat! I'm dying of thirst!"

"Hmph, now you're in a hurry! Where were you before!" Tang Li snorted, but her hands didn't slow down as she quickly opened her backpack.

She first took out a plastic bowl, then a thermos, and carefully poured a full bowl of hot water into it.

Wang Yuyu immediately lowered her head and leaned towards the bowl to drink, but Tang Li stopped her with her hand: "What's the rush? Wait a minute, let me test the water temperature so you don't get burned."

She stuck out a finger to test the water temperature, then immediately pulled it back, muttering, "It's a little hot."

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the clean snowdrift next to her, grabbed a handful of soft snow, put it into a bowl, and stirred it a few times with her fingers.

After testing the water temperature again to make sure it was warm but not scalding, Tang Li pushed the bowl in front of Wang Yuyu: "Okay, you can drink it now."

Wang Yu immediately lowered her head, stuck out her tongue, and licked the water in large gulps, complaining inwardly, "I'm so thirsty! I haven't had a drop of water since this morning."

"Those people before were really stupid; all they knew was cutting down trees. I called for them for so long, and they didn't even bother to bring me any water!"

"Tang Li, you understand me best, you're the best to me!"

While Wang Yuyu was drinking water with his head down, Tang Li turned around and took out a whole piece of fresh meat wrapped in plastic wrap from her backpack. It weighed about 20 pounds and she casually threw it on the snow next to the water bowl.

"Drink slowly, finish your drink before you eat the meat. No one will take it from you."

She reached out and gently stroked Wang Yuyu's tiger head, stroking his fur which was covered in mud and snow. Her tone was gentle yet cautionary, "Let me check you over to see if you're injured."

"Aww!" Wang Yuyu immediately raised her head, her amber eyes instantly filled with grievance, and let out a low growl at Tang Li.

At the same time, he carefully stretched his right leg forward, his foot slightly curled up, and whimpered in pain, "Tang Li, my leg is injured, it hurts terribly! Please take a look!"

Actually, when they were playing around earlier, Tang Li noticed that his right hind leg was a little unnatural. He would subconsciously lift it slightly when he landed. Now that she saw him deliberately showing his injury, her heart tightened, and she became even more certain of her judgment.

"Is your leg injured?" She crouched down, her voice softening, as if afraid of hurting him.

"Mmm!" Wang Yu nodded vigorously, and gently rubbed her head against Tang Li's arm.

When he fell into the pit, his right hind leg landed first, and the weight of his entire body pressed down on it. He felt a tingling sensation immediately, but the panic of being trapped overshadowed the pain. Now that he has relaxed, the soreness has become more and more obvious.

Tang Li held her breath, reached out and gently pinched Wang Yuyu's right hind leg, carefully exploring and pressing from the thigh to the sole, her movements as gentle as if she were handling a fragile treasure.

After checking several times, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Wang Yuyu and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, the bone isn't broken, it's probably just a sprained joint or a strained muscle, it's not a big problem."

"When we get back to the zoo, I'll give you a proper check-up and treatment, and I promise I'll cure you so you can jump around again."

"Ouch!" Wang Yu let out a low growl, as if she understood the comfort, and lowered her head with relief to continue drinking water, but her right hind leg was still slightly curled up, and she dared not use too much force.

Watching him obediently drink water, Tang Li's smile faded, her brows furrowed, and she muttered softly, "Could it be a fracture? Although his reaction was mild when I pressed on him earlier, his walking posture was very strange."

"If a bone is really broken, it could cause serious problems if treatment is delayed."

Tigers, especially wild tigers like Wang Yuyu, have an exceptionally high pain tolerance. In the wild, even when injured, they will try their best to appear normal in order not to expose their weaknesses.

This is mainly determined by their survival instinct. After all, in the wild, being injured means being weak. If they show it, they are likely to be targeted by other predators and will not be able to survive.

They also have a special nervous system that they have evolved, making them relatively less sensitive to pain. In addition, tigers secrete substances similar to painkillers that can help relieve pain.

However, these very factors often cause them to miss the best time for rescue.

Tang Li stood up, walked to Wang Yuyu's left hind leg, and reached out to check the other leg.

The moment her fingertips touched the fur, Wang Yu instinctively pulled her leg back, her muscles tensing slightly with a hint of instinctive wariness.

He only relaxed instantly when he turned around and saw that it was Tang Li. He then stretched his leg out to her side and even gently rubbed against her, as if apologizing.

Tang Li felt a warmth in her heart. After carefully checking her left hind leg and confirming that it was not injured, she checked both front legs in turn until she was sure that only her right hind leg was uncomfortable, and then she was completely relieved.

She frowned as she looked at Wang Yuyu, who was covered in mud and snow and had matted fur. "Never mind, it's too cold here to give you a bath. Getting wet could make you sick. Let's wait until we get back to the zoo and then I'll give you a proper bath and groom you."

Tang Li glanced at Wang Yuyu, who was eating meat with her head down, then tiptoed to the side, took out her phone, and dialed Ji Yongjun's number.

As soon as the call connected, she lowered her voice, her eyes fixed on Wang Yuyu, her tone urgent: "Uncle Ji, Tie Fanwan's right hind leg is injured."

"I just checked his bones, and they don't look broken on the surface, but his walking posture is very strange. I suspect he might have a fracture!"

"Send an orthopedic specialist to the zoo as soon as possible, along with professional examination equipment and medicine. Our zoo's equipment is too rudimentary to perform detailed examinations."
