After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 1012

Chapter 1012: Wangcai’s Moment of Glory
“Careful!”

Qin Xu’s pupils contracted, panic rising in his chest.

Ye Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, preparing to act, but before he could, Wangcai lunged forward, blocking the northeast tiger with a powerful thrust.

With a firm paw on the northeast tiger’s head, Wangcai let out a sharp “woof,” and his expression suddenly turned fierce, immediately intimidating the northeast tiger into submission. The northeast tiger let out a low “woof,” sounding quite pitiful and submissive.

Wangcai gently patted the tiger’s head and, almost instantly, the northeast tiger nuzzled its forehead against Wangcai’s, lowering its head in affection and speaking in low tiger growls.

Jinbao, watching this scene, couldn’t hold back a glare at Zhouzhou, grinding its teeth in frustration. “All this is her fault! She’s the one who taught him these tricks!”

It was like giving a slap and then a sweet date — she knew just how to handle them!

Hmph!

Following her would only lead to trouble!

Jinbao muttered bitterly in its heart. Meanwhile, Wangcai and the northeast tiger had finished their conversation. Wangcai looked at Zhouzhou, then suddenly collapsed onto the ground, dragging his front paws forward. He glanced at the northeast tiger and then pointed toward Ye Lingfeng.

Zhouzhou observed carefully, then asked, “Is the tiger’s father injured?”

“Woof!” That’s right!

The little girl is so clever!

Zhouzhou hurriedly said, “Then let’s go find its father.”

She then looked up at Ye Lingfeng, awaiting his response.

Ye Lingfeng sighed lightly, said nothing, and nodded.

After all, it was the northeast tiger that led them to the king ginseng. It wouldn’t be right not to help.

As if understanding their intent, the northeast tiger was thrilled, and immediately dashed off in a particular direction.

Thankfully, this time, they weren’t in the deep jungle but rather on the outskirts.

They quickly followed behind, and after about half an hour, they finally stopped in front of a cave.

The northeast tiger let out a sharp “woof” toward the entrance.

A moment later, a mother tiger appeared from the cave. Upon seeing the humans following her son, she immediately bared her teeth and charged toward them.

Wangcai reacted quickly, letting out a growl and stepping in front of Zhouzhou.

The northeast tiger rushed over to its mother and exchanged a few growls with her. Only then did the mother tiger’s expression soften. She turned and walked back into the cave.

The northeast tiger quickly looked back at Zhouzhou, nodding slightly, urging her to follow.

Zhouzhou, along with Wangcai, walked into the cave, her eyes fixed on the mother tiger, which remained watchful.

Qin Xu couldn’t help but laugh as he remarked, “I didn’t know Wangcai had such a side to it.”

At home, Wangcai was always causing havoc, acting like a silly dog, constantly seeking attention from Zhouzhou. It didn’t resemble a tiger at all.

Now, it seemed to finally have the presence of a tiger.

Ye Lingfeng, however, shook his head. “If its father were here, he’d definitely give it a good beating.”

Compared to the tiger king, Wangcai was far from it.

Wangcai only relied on its status as the tiger king’s son to be a bit intimidating, but it was more about bluffing.

Thinking about the rumors of the fierce tiger who fought alongside him, Qin Xu fell silent, not commenting further.

Well, that tiger was truly on another level.

Inside the cave, the dim light made it hard to see clearly. Zhouzhou took a moment to adjust her eyes, then observed the situation inside.

It was just a family of tigers.

The male tiger lay on the ground, his leg badly injured and bloodied. He looked very weak, but his eyes remained alert, constantly scanning the surroundings.

Zhouzhou gestured with her hand, and immediately, the male tiger calmed down. As she approached, the hostility that had been in its eyes faded away.

Ye Lingfeng, noticing her movements, immediately recognized that she had learned those techniques from Wei Feng.

Zhouzhou’s years on the mountain had not been wasted.

Perhaps she didn’t feel it herself, since she had always grown up with these skills, but in reality, she was far more capable than many adults.

Oh wait, that was an understatement. She definitely knew how amazing she was! The little girl was quite pleased with herself.

Her father, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel proud. He raised his chin slightly, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

After a quick examination, Zhouzhou figured out the cause of the injury.

The tiger’s leg had been deeply bitten, to the point where the bone was visible. The wound was already festering with rotting flesh. It had been like this for some time.

To treat it, the necrotic tissue needed to be cut away first.

However, it would be very painful.

Thinking about this, Zhouzhou quickly pulled out a vial of medicinal solution from her bag.

Ye Lingfeng recognized the vial immediately. It was from Jing Bai’s lab.

She and Jing Bai had a pretty good relationship these days.

Zhouzhou made another gesture to the male tiger, gently feeding the medicine into its mouth. Within moments, the tiger’s head drooped, and its eyes closed in a deep slumber.

Seeing this, the mother tiger was startled, her gaze fixed on Zhouzhou in anger.

Wangcai stepped in immediately, growling and swiping the air to push the mother tiger back.

The mother tiger, seeing Wangcai’s imposing presence, hesitated and lay back down.

The northeast tiger approached its father, sniffing it before communicating something to the mother tiger. The mother tiger also came over to check and found that her mate hadn’t died, just asleep. She finally stopped being hostile toward Zhouzhou.

Jing Bai’s sedative was so effective that even an elephant could be knocked out by it, let alone a tiger.

Zhouzhou quickly and skillfully treated the wound, and the male tiger remained completely still, deep in sleep throughout the process.

Within a short time, Zhouzhou had finished bandaging the leg. She wiped the sweat off her forehead as she stood up.

After a moment’s thought, she took out several porcelain bottles and placed them on the ground, gesturing toward the mother tiger to remind her to change the bandages later.

After several attempts at signaling, the mother tiger simply stared at her, clearly confused.

Zhouzhou, feeling frustrated, turned to Ye Lingfeng for help.

Ye Lingfeng thought for a moment and said, “I’ll contact the animal protection association and have them send someone to treat it.”

“That’s a great idea!” Zhouzhou’s eyes brightened, and she nodded eagerly.

With professionals taking care of it, she wouldn’t have to worry about the injury not healing.

Ye Lingfeng used his satellite phone to send a message to Zheng Yu. Not long after, he received a confirmation with an “OK” sign.

“They’re on their way, but it’ll take them about three or four hours to reach us,” Ye Lingfeng explained.

Considering the distance and location, it wasn’t surprising.

Ye Lingfeng thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take it to the exit area so they can meet us there.”

“That works.”

After hanging up, Ye Lingfeng stepped forward and gently lifted the male tiger onto his shoulders.

Zhouzhou wasn’t sure how to explain things to the mother tiger, so she turned to Wangcai for help in communication.

Sure enough, Wangcai managed to convince the mother tiger and the northeast tiger that they meant no harm. They nodded in acknowledgment and showed no further hostility toward Zhouzhou.

The northeast tiger glanced at Zhouzhou’s bag, tilting its head and thinking for a moment. It suddenly dashed into the dense forest.

Zhouzhou blinked, but Wangcai gently tugged her arm, guiding her to leave.

Seeing that the mother tiger didn’t seem concerned, Zhouzhou didn’t press the issue and followed Wangcai out of the cave.

They had barely made it outside when the northeast tiger returned, carrying something in its mouth. It placed several high-quality herbs at Zhouzhou’s feet.

Zhouzhou was overjoyed, exclaiming, “Wow!” as she looked at the herbs.

Seeing her happiness, the northeast tiger understood and quickly ran back into the forest, its speed unmatched. Each trip took less than half an hour.

Ye Lingfeng and Qin Xu watched the scene, both feeling moved.

Indeed, all living creatures have souls. Even animals know how to show gratitude.

Zhouzhou couldn’t contain her happiness, laughing joyfully as she inspected the herbs. Wangcai, feeling its position threatened, hurried into the forest as well.

Jinbao, on the other hand, scoffed and rolled its eyes, clearly unimpressed by the display. It didn’t care for this flattery.

However, upon seeing Zhouzhou so happily absorbed in her prize, Jinbao gritted its teeth.

No way! What if that little girl starts liking that northeast tiger? It had to outdo it!

With that thought in mind, Jinbao couldn’t sit still anymore and rushed into the forest after them.

The two tigers and one cat were competing fiercely, but it was Zhouzhou who ended up with all the treasures, laughing in delight.

Ye Lingfeng watched lazily, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips.

Suddenly, his gaze froze on something in the pile of items that Jinbao had brought back. A wallet was peeking out, and half of a photo was barely visible.

Ye Lingfeng furrowed his brow as he bent down to pick up the photograph. When he saw the person in the photo, his expression immediately darkened.

Qin Xu, noticing the shift in his demeanor, also looked over, surprised.

“This… isn’t this…”
