Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Wang Yuyu shrank back when she was patted, her ears drooping, and squatted in place without saying a word.

Trying to explain to a woman who's angry is just asking for trouble!

It's better to just accept the scolding and wait for her to calm down.

Seeing that Wang Yuyu remained silent, Tang Li felt as if she had punched cotton. Her anger not only failed to dissipate but actually increased.

She glared at Wang Yuyu, then grabbed his tiger-head-shaped hairpin and began to knead and rub it vigorously, cursing as she did so, trying to calm herself down.

Wang Yuyu didn't resist, obediently lying in her arms, letting her rub him all over, even slightly squinting his eyes, looking like he was enjoying it.

Putting everything else aside, his head is incredibly hard. Even if Tang Li had slapped him harder, it wouldn't have hurt him. Instead, it felt like a massage, very comfortable.

After rubbing for a while, Tang Li's anger subsided, and a smile returned to her face. She patted Wang Yuyu's head cheerfully and said lightly, "Come in with me. I have a question for you about poachers."

Wang Yu immediately stood up obediently and followed Tang Li into the small wooden house.

Seeing Tang Li bent over, clearly in pain, Wang Yuyu couldn't help but smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He thought to himself, "Serves you right for taking pictures of me. I'll take my time and let you suffer a little longer!"

Tang Li, oblivious to his subtle movements, pointed to the dry grass spread out on the ground and said urgently, "Hurry up and lie down properly, bending over is too uncomfortable!"

Wang Yu smiled and wagged its tail, then obediently lay down on the hay, stretching out its body.

Tang Li was no longer reserved and pounced on Wang Yuyu's soft back. She even imitated a kitten kneading its paws, gently rubbing against him before settling into the most comfortable position.

Wang Yuyu thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of Tang Li gently rubbing against him and touching him, as if someone was giving him a full-body massage. He felt so comfortable that his tail swayed gently and his eyes narrowed.

After the man and the tiger settled down comfortably, Tang Li rested her chin on Wang Yuyu's tiger head, took a tablet out of her bag, and placed it on the hay in front of them.

She tapped on an app on the tablet, and the screen immediately displayed a dense array of commonly used Chinese characters, about two thousand in total, enough for Wang Yuyu to have a simple conversation with her.

Then, she took out a specially made stylus, strapped it to Wang Yuyu's right front paw, adjusted the tightness, and said with a smile, "Come on, now I'll ask you questions and you answer!"

"If you can answer with a nod or a shake of your head, just do the action. If you can't answer simply, tap the corresponding word on the tablet, understand?"

Wang Yu nodded lazily, a hint of disdain in her eyes. She secretly glanced at Tang Li, thinking to herself, "This isn't the first time I've done this; I'm quite skilled at it! Don't underestimate me!"

Tang Li saw through his look immediately, gave his broad chest a hard squeeze, and said in a deliberately fierce tone, "You better be serious, no half-hearted work!"

"I'm starting to ask questions now. This concerns your safety, so don't lie!"

The man and the tiger, through question and answer, clarified the whole matter, including Wang Yuyu's suspicions, and more than an hour passed without them realizing it.

In the end, the two of them lay listlessly in the cabin, looking utterly exhausted.

There was no other way; Wang Yuyu couldn't speak and could only communicate by nodding, shaking her head, and tapping the tablet. She had to concentrate the whole time, which was exhausting.

If they could have spoken directly, they would have already gotten to the bottom of things.

After resting for a while, Tang Li finally recovered. She reached out and gently stroked Wang Yuyu's tiger head, her usual smile gone, and asked with a heavy heart:

"A secure job, you suspect those poachers knew your whereabouts and were waiting for you there, right?"

Wang Yuyu immediately nodded solemnly, a hint of seriousness flashing in her amber eyes, silently agreeing in her heart: "Yes, that's it!"

"Otherwise, why wouldn't those poachers arrest me on my own territory, but instead chose to guard my wife's land?"

"The times I go to my wife's territory are completely unpredictable. Although there's some regularity, outsiders would never know. There must be a mole tipping them off!"

As he pondered this, his gaze involuntarily fell upon the small ball that Tang Li was playing with in her hand.

Tang Li followed his gaze, paused in her hand, and muttered thoughtfully, "If there really is a mole tipping you off, then you shouldn't wear this little ball for now, lest you expose your whereabouts and be targeted by poachers again."

"I'll talk to Uncle Ji about replacing this little ball!"

"He also has a special metal detector version, which only has detection functions and nothing else, so I feel more at ease."

"No way!" Wang Yuyu immediately shook her head in objection. "I won't bring anything else. What if the replacement also has a tracking device inside?"

"Now, poacher traps have basically disappeared from my own territory, so I'm not in any danger without them!"

Tang Li quickly frowned and advised, "It's a secure job, don't throw a tantrum, okay?"

"You'll be safer if you bring the ball!"

"In case those poachers set up new traps in your territory when you're not paying attention, having the ball will allow you to spot them in advance and avoid them in time, reducing the risk."

But Wang Yuyu still shook her head vigorously, refusing to budge no matter how Tang Li tried to persuade her.

He was terrified by the poachers and is now extremely wary of anything that might give away his whereabouts!

Tang Li tried everything to persuade her, but Wang Yuyu remained resolute and showed no intention of compromising.

Seeing Wang Yuyu's stubborn expression, she had no choice but to reluctantly compromise: "Fine, fine, if you don't want to bring her, then don't!"

"But you must promise to frequently appear before the infrared cameras in the forest so we know you're safe. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable letting you wander around outside alone!"

Wang Yu tilted her head and thought for a moment. She felt that this request posed no danger to her. As long as she occasionally waved in front of the infrared camera, Tang Li would be at ease, and it wouldn't interfere with her own affairs. So she nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Wang Yuyu had agreed, Tang Li's face instantly lit up with a smile again. She leaned over and gave him a big kiss on the head, saying affectionately, "Haha, a secure job, you're so good! I knew you were the most obedient!"

But the next second, Tang Li glanced back at the darkness outside, her smile fading. She gently stroked Wang Yuyu's fur and whispered, "Iron rice bowl, when are you planning to leave?"

"Could you stay with me one more night? I want to spend a little more time with you."
