Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Seeing this, Tang Li immediately dropped the branch in her left hand, freed her hand, grabbed the little guy by the back of his neck, and firmly pressed him to the ground.

The little guy still refused to admit defeat, twisting his body desperately under Tang Li's grasp, kicking his limbs wildly, howling incessantly, his eyes full of stubbornness and unwillingness, but he could not break free from Tang Li's restraints no matter what.

Tang Li held the little guy down firmly with both hands to make sure he wouldn't move, then shouted to the team members waiting nearby, "Quick, untie the wire!"

"Be gentle, don't hurt him!"

The team members who were already prepared immediately stepped forward and gently loosened the wire wrapped around the little guy to prevent it from getting too tight and hurting him. Then they quickly took out pliers and cut it off.

Without the restraint of the wire, the little guy relaxed, his tense body slowly relaxed, and most of his previous anxiety and vigilance dissipated!

Perhaps sensing that Tang Li and the others meant no harm and were only there to help him, even the low growl in his throat weakened, no longer as fierce and piercing as before.

Looking at his relaxed posture, Tang Li's eyes showed even more doting affection. She grabbed the back of his neck and lifted the small figure up again.

The little guy hovered in mid-air, its short paws still waving wildly in defiance, occasionally barking at the team members watching around it, pretending to be fierce and warning everyone in a show of intimidation: Don't mess with me, I'm not someone to mess with!

But this feigned fierceness seemed incredibly endearing and cute to the rescue team members!

Its tiny body, bristling fur, and babyish growl made everyone burst into laughter.

The veterinarian who followed immediately came over, holding examination instruments, and said softly, "Come, let me see if the little guy is injured."

The examination proceeded in an orderly manner, with X-ray machines and ultrasound machines being used in turn, and finally, blood tests were conducted!

But the little guy was still stubborn and kept struggling the whole time, twisting and turning his little body, baring his teeth and growling at the veterinarian from time to time, refusing to cooperate obediently, making the veterinarian and Tang Li, who was helping to hold him down, sweat profusely.

After the entire checkup was completed, Tang Li asked anxiously, "Is the little one alright?"

The veterinarian smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing, don't worry!"

"The wire didn't cut too deep, it's just some minor superficial injuries. It didn't damage any internal organs or bones. Just eat some good food and rest for a few days."

"Great!" Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief, her face immediately breaking into a smile. She said cheerfully, "Then I'll give him back his secure job!"

"Go ahead and let it go. All the tests are done, and all the samples have been collected. Just let it rest and recover!" The veterinarian smiled and nodded, then gently patted the little guy's head, which made the little guy growl softly again.

Tang Li carried the still slightly struggling little one and walked step by step toward Wang Yuyu and Tiger Mom.

Tang Li stopped when she was about ten meters away from them, gently pressed the little guy to the ground, and quickly took a few steps back the moment she let go, in case the little guy suddenly retaliated and vented his dissatisfaction.

The little guy, now free, immediately turned around and waved his little paws at Tang Li, as if venting his dissatisfaction at being held down and examined!

Seeing that Tang Li had already retreated far away, she stopped pestering him, her short legs moving quickly as she turned and ran towards Wang Yuyu and Tiger Mom, letting out a soft, aggrieved growl.

"He's really fierce! He won't suffer any loss!" Tang Li muttered under her breath as she watched his figure.

Then he looked up and shouted loudly at Wang Yuyu, "Stable job! The little guy's fine! It's just a minor injury. Give him plenty of good food when we get back, and he'll be better in a few days!"

"Awoo~"

Wang Yu let out a low growl, his amber eyes looking at Tang Li, and he nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard her.

The tiger mom had already rushed over and gently licked the little guy's body with her tongue, her eyes full of tenderness.

Tang Li waved to Wang Yuyu and said loudly, "Then we'll go back. Be careful in the forest!"

"Awoo~" Wang Yuyu let out another low growl, as if responding to Tang Li's instructions, and then began to carefully examine the little guy.

Together with the tiger mom, they gently licked the little guy's fur with their tongues, a scene full of tenderness.

Looking at the Wang Yuyu family of four, all huddled together, the rescue team leader smiled with relief, nodded gently, and remarked, "How heartwarming! Whether it's humans or animals, this kind of family affection is the most touching!"

Tang Li walked up to the captain and said with a smile, "Captain, let's hurry up, it's getting dark soon, and if we don't leave now we'll have to spend the night in the forest."

He paused, then added, "There are two adult Siberian tigers here. They stay in the forest at night; be careful they don't retaliate!"

"Hahaha~ You're right! Let's hurry and leave, lest we face retaliation!"

The rescue team leader laughed at Tang Li's antics and quickly waved to his team, "Everyone, hurry up, grab your things, let's go home!"

The team members nodded, quickly packed up their instruments and tools, shouldered their backpacks, and slowly left along the path they had come from.

Wang Yu stood there, watching Tang Li and her group's retreating figures, letting out a low, reluctant roar, "Awoo!"

Hearing the tiger's roar behind her, Tang Li smiled and turned around, waving vigorously at Wang Yuyu before quickening her pace to catch up with the group, her figure gradually disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

…………

A few days later!

evening!

The afterglow of the setting sun filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled light and shadows through the forest!

Beside a wetland deep in the forest, a team of five forest rangers are resting in the shade of a high tree.

Holding dry rations in their hands, they chewed casually while observing a group of sika deer by the water's edge with great interest through binoculars.

The herd of eight sika deer had grown plump and glossy over the summer. They were scattered in twos and threes by the water, some licking the river water, others slowly grazing on the tender grass on the bank!

They were relaxed and carefree, oblivious to the lurking danger!

Suddenly, the herd of sika deer, who were leisurely eating and drinking by the water, seemed to sense something. Their relaxed posture instantly turned into panic, and they let out a series of soft neighs!

Immediately afterwards, the entire herd of deer rushed toward the river in front of them, splashing up a large spray of water, looking both disheveled and anxious.

"Holy crap, what's going on?" A young forest ranger mumbled incoherently, his mouth still stuffed with dry rations.

He quickly grabbed his binoculars and followed the deer herd, his brow furrowed and his face full of confusion. "What are they running for? Could it be that a predator has appeared?"
