Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

"Are they all asleep?"

Wang Yuyu was slightly taken aback. "Wait a minute. It's deep in the mountains and forests; it's impossible for everyone inside to be asleep. Someone must be keeping watch!"

Just as Wang Yuyu had thought, not everyone in the room was asleep. Two people were still awake, gathered around the fire, occasionally poking at it to keep it from going out!

Time passed slowly, and just as Wang Yuyu was getting impatient, someone finally spoke from inside the room!

"Brother Song, when are we going to get out of here? We've been stuck here for days!"

"Xiao Wang, didn't you hear? The nature reserve has sent people into the mountains to rescue us; they'll arrive tomorrow!"

"Brother Song, I'm just worried. It's snowing again outside. What if they get stuck on the road too? We'll have to wait!"

"..."

As soon as Wang Yu heard the words "protected area," she knew what was going on!

He immediately flashed a sly smile. "Hehehe, so you're a forest ranger. I'm relieved!"

Upon discovering that the person was not a bad guy but an acquaintance, Wang Yu felt a wave of relief wash over him, and his tail even started wagging involuntarily!

Twisting its neck, Wang Yu stepped forward and raised its paw to knock on the door!

"Clap clap clap!"

I knocked three times; the door almost fell over!

The dust on the wall was shaken off and kept falling. When Wang Yu saw this, he quickly took a step back to avoid getting any on himself!

"Damn, I used too much force! I should have held back!"

If Tang Li knew what Wang Yuyu was thinking, she would definitely jump out immediately!

Damn, so you know you're strong? Why don't you know to tone it down a bit when you're messing around with me?

Do you really think I'm a tigress?

Every time I finish playing with you, my body is covered in bruises!

Don't you know how muscular you are?

Do I have very delicate skin?

When you hit me with your claws, it felt like someone was hitting me with a hammer!

It hurts so much, you know...

The two men on night watch heard the banging on the door and immediately looked nervously towards the entrance!

"Who?"

Wang Hui and Song Guangming shouted at the same time, their hearts filled with fear!

The three people sleeping inside were also woken up and looked towards the door!

Seeing no response, Wang Hui mustered his courage and shouted again, "Who's outside? If you don't speak, we're going to shoot!"

Wang Yuyu, standing outside the door, turned pale upon hearing this. "Damn it, if I could speak, I would have said it already. Why would you need to say it?"

After thinking it over, Wang Yu decided to call out to reveal her identity!

"Awoo~"

Hearing Wang Yuyu's roar, the five people in the room were startled and immediately huddled together, trembling as they stared at the wooden door!

"Holy crap, a tiger!"

"There are tigers outside!"

"It's a tiger knocking on the door!"

"We're doomed! The tiger must be hungry and wants to eat us!"

"Waaaaah, I don't want to die!"

"..."

The five people talked incessantly, each word filled with fear!

Wang Hui looked at Song Guangming, "Brother Song, what should we do? There's a tiger outside!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Song Guangming forced himself to remain calm and said, "Don't be afraid, there are many of us, and we have fire. The tiger won't dare to come in!"

"Don't scare yourself. There's still a door in the way; it won't get in so easily!"

"Mmm~" Everyone nodded weakly!

Outside the door, Wang Yu listened to the conversation inside and was speechless!

"No, buddy, do you really think I'm one of those ordinary tigers? I have a secure job, no, I'm Wang Yuyu!"

"Damn it, I hear Tang Li talking about 'iron rice bowl' (guaranteed job) every day, I'm almost forgetting my original name!"

"Damn it, if Tang Li calls me 'iron rice bowl' again, I'm definitely not going to talk to her!"

"No, what was I thinking? It's all Tang Li's fault; she managed to lead me astray even at a time like this!"

"Let's go inside and get some shelter from the snow first!"

"Awoo~" Wang Yu roared, then stepped forward and knocked on the door again. "Open the door, I want to come in. I promise I won't eat you, don't be afraid!"

"I'm a good person, I won't hurt you, don't worry!"

"Believe me, I really am a good person!"

His knock made the five people in the room tremble, and they looked at the rickety wooden door with fear!

Wang Hui stammered fearfully, "Brother Song... Brother Song, this door looks like it's... it's going to break down, what... what should we do?"

Song Guangming also looked at the wooden door with a solemn expression, shaking his head slightly, "I don't know either. Right now, we can only hope the door holds up!"

At that moment, one of the team members suddenly said, "Brother Song, could those jobs outside be guaranteed?"

"iron rice bowl?"

Everyone looked at him and muttered his name!

Wang Hui hurriedly asked, "How do you know that's a secure job outside?"

The man said seriously, "Besides a secure job, have you ever seen a tiger knock on the door?"

"This is the territory of those with guaranteed job security; besides him, I can't think of another tiger here!"

"Unless some other tiger has invaded the territory of the 'iron rice bowl' (guaranteed job)!"

"But I think, given the sheer size of the iron rice bowl (a type of tiger), no tiger would dare to invade its territory, right?"

As he spoke, he looked towards the door, "As for whether it's a secure job outside, we'll just ask and find out, won't we?"

"Even those with secure jobs understand what we say!"

"That's right!" Song Guangming's eyes lit up. "Whether it's a secure job or not, we'll find out by asking!"

"Cough cough~"

Clearing his throat with two coughs, Song Guangming asked sternly, "Is it a secure job?"

"If you have a secure job, call out three times!"

"Damn it, what do you take me for?" Wang Yuyu rolled her eyes from outside the door, but still barked three times as requested, "Awoo~ Awoo~ Awoo~"

Upon hearing three tiger roars, the five people inside the house instantly breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled!

"It really is a secure job!"

"Haha, it's a secure job, now I'm not afraid anymore!"

"Brother Song, open the door quickly and let him in. I want to take a picture with him!"

"A secure job, I heard it's really big, I've never seen it before, now I can finally see it in person..."

Seeing that the group of people who were just terrified were now no longer afraid when they saw the tiger outside and even wanted to let it in, Song Guangming was so angry that his blood pressure soared!

"No, what are you all so happy about?"

"What if the job outside isn't a secure one, but some other clever tiger?"

"You really believe that easily?"

"Even if it's a secure job outside, I won't let him in; it's too dangerous!"

"What are you all thinking? That's a tiger! A tiger! Letting it in is like letting wolves into a sheepfold!"

"Do you want to be eaten by tigers?"

"I'm really impressed by you guys..."

Upon hearing Song Guangming's words, Wang Yuyu, who was outside the door, immediately became displeased. "Damn it, when did I say I was going to eat someone?"

"Stop making things up, okay?"

"Look at yourselves! You're all so skinny, just bones, and you suffer from all sorts of illnesses: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, diabetes, herniated discs, and the like!"

"And there's all sorts of advanced technology and demanding skills!"

"I wouldn't eat any of your flesh even if it were given to me for free!"

"I'm afraid of getting sick!"
