Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Chapter 240 The Injury Has Healed

Tang Li ran ahead, occasionally turning back to urge, "Director, Uncle Ji, hurry up! If you're any slower, you might miss the hunt for the 'iron rice bowl'!"

Before long, Tang Li was the first to climb up the platform. As soon as she got up there, she couldn't wait to lean against the wall and look excitedly toward the back gate.

On the other side, Wang Yuyu's perception was exceptionally sharp. As soon as the group approached the back door, he sensed the familiar presence. He obediently squatted by the iron gate, waiting with his ears perked up and his tail gently swishing the ground, his eyes full of anticipation.

He could smell it; it was the scent of lychees, and... the aroma of food. He figured it must be his New Year's Eve dinner that had been delivered.

Just then, he felt a gaze from above, and immediately looked up, his amber eyes precisely locking onto Tang Li on the high platform.

"Such keen perception!" Tang Li exclaimed inwardly, then quickly waved her hand vigorously at Wang Yuyu and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Iron rice bowl, stay away from the iron gate, we're going to feed you!"

"You've been standing at the door the whole time, so Uncle Wang and the others are afraid to open it!"

As she shouted, she also made a gesture that indicated "backwards" towards Wang Yuyu.

"What the hell?" Wang Yu tilted her head, muttering to herself, "They're feeding me, fine, but then they make me back off. What trick are they trying to pull? Are they trying to mess with me?"

Although he was filled with doubt and vigilance, he subconsciously obeyed Tang Li's words and slowly retreated three or four meters, but still pressed tightly against the wall, his body taut and his eyes fixed on the iron gate, remaining alert in case anything unexpected happened.

At this time, the bandages and splints that had been wrapped around Wang Yuyu's two hind legs had long been removed, and the injuries to her hind legs had completely healed.

The tiger's fur hadn't fully grown out where the splint had been; only a thin layer of down had appeared. Compared to the tiger's long, thick, fluffy, and glossy fur all over its body, it looked particularly out of place, like a small patch that looked extremely ugly!

This is also what Wang Yuyu is most concerned about recently. Every time she looks down and sees her hind legs, she can't help but feel disgusted.

On the other side of the iron gate, Wang Jianjun was staring at the monitor screen, carefully watching Wang Yuyu's movements. When he saw Wang Yuyu obediently back away from the iron gate, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly untied the rope from the goat's leg, turned to look at Cheng Yongnian, who was gripping the doorknob with a nervous expression, and said in a deep voice, "Open the door. The iron rice bowl is gone. It's safe. It won't pounce on you."

"Okay!" Cheng Yongnian nodded vigorously, his palms slightly sweaty.

He gripped the cold doorknob tightly, took a deep breath, and said nervously, "I'll count to three, two, one. Let's work together, open and close quickly, don't waste time!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yongnian exerted his strength and yanked the iron gate open with a "whoosh," his movements swift and decisive.

At the same time, Wang Jianjun quickly raised his hand and shoved the goat away hard.

As soon as the goat landed, it broke free of its last restraints, staggered a few steps, and stood still on the snow.

With a muffled thud, Cheng Yongnian slammed the iron gate shut. The two men breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved closer to the monitor, staring intently at the activity on the screen.

The goat, having just gained its freedom, hadn't even had time to figure out its surroundings when it sensed a deadly threat in the air. Terrified, it trembled all over, then immediately took off running, charging with all its might towards the distant woods.

Its hooves pounded on the snow, making a "clattering" sound, and snowflakes flew everywhere, as if it were running in a panic.

Before Wang Yuyu could react to the sound of the iron gate opening and closing, a white figure rushed past him, and a strong smell of goat lingered in his nostrils.

Before his mind could even process it, his body had already reacted instinctively.

At the same time, Tang Li, on the high platform, saw the fleeing goat and immediately shouted excitedly, "Iron Rice Bowl, hurry and chase it! Your New Year's Eve dinner is going to escape!"

"Hurry, don't let it get into the woods..."

Before she could finish speaking, her hand, pointing at the goat, froze in mid-air. Her mouth opened slightly, and only one thought remained in her mind: "So fast!"

The goat was already incredibly fast, galloping across the snow like the wind, but almost the instant it started running, Wang Yuyu also moved.

He pushed off the ground with all four limbs and shot out like an arrow, more than twice as fast as the goat.

In just two or three seconds, he caught up with the goat, leaped up, and steadily mounted its back. His sharp teeth instantly bit into the goat's neck, while his limbs pressed down hard on the goat's body, slamming it heavily onto the snow.

The movements were crisp and clean, without the slightest hesitation, perfectly showcasing the strength and ferocity of the wild Siberian tiger.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! No wonder it's a wild Siberian tiger; that speed, that explosive power, it's simply spectacular!"

Ji Yongjun, watching this scene from the high platform, couldn't help but clap excitedly, his voice full of amazement, his eyes fixed on the scene below, unwilling to look away.

Wang Weiguo smiled and nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of approval: "Yes, the body reacts faster than the brain; it's entirely based on instinct ingrained in their bones."

"This wildness, this ferocity, is something that the tigers we keep in our park can't match at all."

Beside the iron gate, Cheng Yongnian was watching the slow-motion video from the surveillance camera, intently observing Wang Yuyu's two hind legs.

Watching him run, jump, and press down on the goat, his hind legs moving smoothly without any hesitation or discomfort, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face, and he slowly nodded:

"He has recovered very well. He can exert force evenly in all four limbs and moves nimbly. He has no lasting effects and can be released back into the wild to return to his true home."

"That's great! That's really great!" Upon hearing this, Wang Jianjun beamed with joy, rubbing his hands excitedly. "I don't have to stay here on duty every day to keep an eye on him anymore. I can go home for the New Year! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yongnian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He patted Wang Jianjun on the shoulder and teased, "Look at how impatient you are. You don't even try to hide it. But it's true, after working so hard for so long, everyone should go home for the New Year."

Tang Li, standing on the high platform, watched Wang Yuyu slowly lead the goat into the woods. She immediately turned to Wang Weiguo and Ji Yongjun beside her and said, "Alright, alright, Director, Uncle Ji, stop chatting here and go down!"
