Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Not long after, the pickup truck reversed back and came to a stop with a creak, about five or six meters away from Wang Yuyu.

Xu Yongyi sat in the driver's seat, peering through the car window and squinting as he observed for a while. Seeing that the "tiger" on the rock remained motionless, his suspicions deepened.

"Nothing's happening? Could this thing really be a fake? It's made way too realistically!"

To find out for sure, he jumped out of the car, pulling out his phone to record a video, muttering, "Film it, film it! If it's fake, I'll post a comment on Su Yin's voice to complain. It almost scared the hell out of me!"

He mustered his courage and walked step by step toward Wang Yuyu.

As he got closer, he saw that the "tiger" remained in the same posture as before, without even lifting its eyelids. Xu Yongyi was completely convinced that this was a realistic fake model.

Recalling how terrified he had just been, he immediately cursed angrily, "Who the hell did this?!"

"Trying to get a tiger? I'm seriously thinking, are you kidding me?"

He held up his phone, first taking pictures of the road and his pickup truck, his tone indignant: "Damn it, I was driving on the highway, and now I've reversed back, holy crap!"

He then pointed the camera at Wang Yuyu, slowly moving it towards the tiger's head while continuing to complain, "Oh my god, this scared the scalp out of me!"

Before he knew it, he had walked to within a meter of Wang Yuyu. Looking down at the tiger head so close to him, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Holy crap! It's just like the real thing! You guys...!"

Wang Yuyu listened to his rambling complaints, her heart bursting with laughter, and she was holding it in so hard her stomach almost ached.

He timed it perfectly, and just as Xu Yongyi's phone camera was pointed at his face, he slowly raised his head.

Xu Yongyi, who had just gotten close to the tiger's head, watched in horror as the previously "motionless" tiger suddenly raised its head, its amber eyes staring straight at him. He was so frightened that he stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence: "You see...you see...no, no, I wouldn't dare..."

By the end, his voice was trembling, his hand holding the phone was shaking like a leaf, his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and he felt like he had been electrocuted, his whole body stiff yet shaking uncontrollably, he didn't even have the strength to run away.

Wang Yu slowly turned her head, met Xu Yongyi's gaze, and grinned slightly, revealing her large, sharp, white tiger teeth.

He thought smugly to himself, "Who told you I was a fake? Now you're scared stiff, aren't you?"

"After waiting so long, I've finally met a 'tiger man' like you!"

"They actually came to my door and even brought me a whole cartload of sheep! What a kind person!"

"Apart from Tang Li, I've never seen a two-legged creature as sensible as you!"

Xu Yongyi watched as Wang Yuyu slowly stood up, the shadow cast by his massive body instantly enveloping him.

The oppressive aura emanating from the apex predator washed over him, startling him so much that he dropped his phone in the snow. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, drenched in cold sweat, unable to even scream.

"Hmph!" Wang Yuyu snorted contemptuously, exhaling two streams of white breath from her nostrils. She didn't even glance at Xu Yongyi, who was sprawled on the ground, and turned her gaze to the pickup truck bed.

The goats there were terrified and started bleating loudly, struggling wildly in the carriage.

He gracefully jumped off the rock and walked slowly past Xu Yongyi with steady steps.

Xu Yongyi was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, and he dared not move his eyes. He could only stare blankly as Wang Yu walked towards the pickup truck, praying frantically in his heart: "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Brother Tiger, you can eat as many goats as you want, and you can leave after you're done eating. Please don't eat me!"

"Heavens above! Jade Emperor! Chairman Mao! Ancestors! Protect me! I'll never dare to do it again!"

Wang Yuyu ignored him completely, walked to the side of the pickup truck bed, pushed off slightly with his hind legs, and lightly leaped into the bed.

The goat that was tied up in the carriage was so frightened by the tiger jumping in that it urinated on itself, let out a desperate scream at Wang Yuyu, and struggled even more fiercely.

Wang Yuyu had no time to waste with them. He pounced on the fattest goat, his sharp canines biting its neck precisely. With a "snap," the goat's neck was severed, its mournful scream abruptly stopped, and its body collapsed limply to the ground.

Then, he glanced at the rope tethering the goat, raised his head and gave it a gentle tug; the sturdy rope snapped as easily as if it were made of paper.

He picked up the goat, jumped off the pickup truck, and, under Xu Yongyi's horrified gaze, slowly walked towards the distant woods, quickly disappearing into the vast snow fog.

Only after Wang Yuyu's figure completely disappeared did Xu Yongyi, like a puppet suddenly electrified, shudder and regain his senses.

He moved his numb legs shakily, picked up his phone that had fallen in the snow, his fingers trembling like leaves, and it took him a long time to dial the correct number and call 110.

"Hey... Hey! I'm calling the police!"

Xu Yongyi's voice was choked with sobs and trembled with lingering fear, "I...I encountered a Siberian tiger! It...it stole my sheep!"

Towards the end, his tone became somewhat embarrassed and apologetic: "Um... officers, could you please come quickly? I... I can't move right now!"

On the other end of the phone, the policewoman who answered the call immediately raised her voice, her tone urgent and tense: "What? You can't move? Did a tiger attack you? Are you injured?"

"No, no!"

Xu Yongyi quickly waved his hand, even though the other person couldn't see him, "The tiger didn't hurt me, but it scared me so much my legs went weak and they're still numb!"

"Stay where you are and protect yourself! Get back in your car and lock the doors. We'll send someone over right away!" The policewoman's voice became calm as she quickly gave her instructions.

"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you!" Xu Yongyi quickly expressed his gratitude, then rapidly reported his location, "I'm on the road leading to Luoquanhe Forest Farm, just a little way back from Erdaogou!"

"Roger that! Get in the car immediately, don't get out, and keep your phone on! The tiger might not be far away, so protect yourself. Our people are on their way!"

"Okay! Okay! I understand!"

Xu Yongyi nodded emphatically, and after hanging up the phone, he let out a long sigh of relief.

The phone call seemed to give him immense courage, and he gradually regained strength in his legs, no longer completely unable to move as before.

He slowly got up from the ground and still moved unsteadily toward the pickup truck.
