Chapter 47 The Tiger Dad's Sense of Responsibility
As darkness fell, Tiger Mom looked at Cangnian and Tiger Brother and called out to them.
It's time to go home!
Ouch~!
However, when she saw the tiger dad following along, the tiger mom let out a howl that sounded like a warning.
Huh~?
Tiger Dad, on the other hand, sat on the ground looking aggrieved.
Why won't you let me go home with you?
Ouch~!
Tiger Mom did not soften her heart when Tiger Dad pleaded, but firmly refused.
The tiger dad is too big and too strong; any careless move could hurt the two cubs.
When she's awake, Tiger Mom can keep an eye on things to prevent any problems from arising.
But when it's time to go back to sleep, Tiger Mom can't keep an eye on them all the time. How could Tiger Mom feel at ease with Tiger Dad, who hasn't spent much time living with the two little ones?
Tiger Dad could crush Cangnian and the others to death with a single roll of his body!
Therefore, we can't let Tiger Dad go back to the cave to sleep with us!
Seeing how determined Tiger Mom's expression was, Tiger Dad's ears drooped, and he looked quite dejected.
Huh~?
Out of love and obedience for Tiger Mom, Tiger Dad compromised, but finally asked Tiger Mom if she would bring Cangnian and Tiger Brother here tomorrow.
Ouch~!
Tiger Mom nodded and made the agreement.
The two little ones need to go out for exercise every day, they'll definitely come tomorrow!
Upon hearing this, Tiger Dad's low spirits lifted considerably, and he nodded excitedly.
"Tiger Dad is definitely an evolved being. In less than a day, he was able to understand the meaning of simple actions such as nodding and shaking his head, and he used them flexibly in communication. This is not the kind of intelligence that ordinary animals can possess."
Seeing this, Cangnian nodded to himself.
"Ow~!"
Then, he went up to Tiger Dad and pointed with his paw at the strips of meat drying on the tree.
father!
Help me guard these meat strips!
Don't let other small animals eat it!
Cang Nian expressed his thoughts, which made Tiger Dad beam with joy.
By staying here to sleep, I can not only put my wife at ease, but also help the baby!
that's nice!
Ouch~!
Tiger Dad nodded emphatically, puffed out his chest, waved his paws, and showed off his strength; he was just short of learning how to pat his chest in a show of bravado.
Do not worry!
Dad will definitely protect it for you!
If anyone tries to steal it, Dad will smack it to death!
Having received the tiger father's assurance, Cangnian rubbed its cheek against the tiger and then followed the tiger mother back to the cave.
……
Twenty-one days after birth.
The weather is sunny.
Early in the morning, Tiger Brother excitedly ran out the door.
The meat strips hanging on the tree yesterday were partly the fruits of its labor.
So, before going home last night, when Tiger Brother heard Cangnian tell Tiger Dad to keep an eye on the meat strips, he became wary.
This meat is so delicious, other small animals would definitely want to eat it too!
Therefore, even with Tiger Dad watching over him, Tiger Brother was still very worried that some small animals might sneak away the meat strips while Tiger Dad was asleep!
Upon arriving at the open space, Cangnian saw from afar that Tiger Dad was yawning with his mouth wide open.
"Uh... did Tiger Dad not sleep all night and just watch over the meat strips?"
Seeing this, Cang Nian felt a little guilty.
Tiger Dad took such good care of a casual request I made, even going without sleep.
Ouch~!
At that moment, the tiger father also saw the three tigers, one big and two small, and immediately stood up, wanting to run towards them.
However, at this moment, it remembered that it still had the "duty" of guarding the meat strips, so it suppressed its impulse, just stood there, and excitedly growled a few times.
Seeing this, Cang Nian was deeply moved and rushed to Tiger Dad's side, sobbing with gratitude.
Ouch~!
But the tiger dad didn't care at all.
It's only natural for a father to help his son; why should he be thanked?
However, the tiger dad was very happy to receive his child's gratitude for his efforts, and the fatigue from not sleeping all night was greatly relieved.
Meanwhile, Tiger Brother had already rushed up the tree and started checking if any meat strips were missing.
But...
It's just a tiger cub less than a month old, how could it possibly know numbers?
So, Tiger Brother only glanced at it twice before his eyes became blurry, and he squatted dejectedly on a tree branch.
Did you lose any meat strips?
So frustrating!
But just then, it saw the little sable clinging to a piece of meat in the tree, nibbling on it!
Ouch~!
This infuriated Tiger Brother!
It took us a lot of effort to get these up here!
How dare you steal food!
So, Tiger Brother angrily pounced on the little sable.
However, although Tiger Brother's tree-climbing skills have become quite proficient under the dual training of Cangnian and Tiger Mom, there is still a significant gap compared to Little Sable, a natural tree-climbing expert.
Unable to understand why Tiger Brother was angry, the little sable quickly darted behind Cangnian for protection.
The little sable isn't stupid. Although Tiger Brother looks bigger, Cangnian is actually the one who holds absolute power!
Ouch~!
Seeing that the little sable had stolen the meat strips and was hiding behind its brother, Tiger Brother was even angrier. He roared and demanded that Cangnian hand over the little sable so he could teach it a good lesson!
Seeing this, Cang Nian was amused.
"Ouch~!"
However, Cangnian knew that Little Sable would never do something as audacious as stealing meat strips right under Tiger Dad's nose, so he explained to Tiger Brother.
Clearly, the meat strip the little sable was the same meat strip he had given to the Siberian leopard five days ago.
That was a gift from me to thank the little sable for giving me an early warning, thus preventing me from being ambushed and killed by the Siberian leopard.
Because that strip of meat weighed over a pound, and the little sable itself only weighed a little over a kilogram, it still hadn't finished eating after all this time.
However, seeing the little sable eating the meat strips, Cangnian became even more confident in drying the venison into jerky.
Because the little sable's remaining strip of meat had not rotted, but had been dehydrated into jerky!
Perhaps it's because of its small size, plus the good ventilation and dry, refreshing environment here.
The Siberian leopard carcass that the tiger mother brought back to the cave had all turned somewhat white by the end, but the little sable's piece of meat had already dried out.
Even after two days of torrential rain, it remained dry, leading Cang Nian to suspect that the little sable had hidden it inside a tree hole.
After Cangnian explained, Tiger Brother finally understood that the little sable hadn't stolen the meat strips he had painstakingly carried up the tree. So, at Cangnian's request, he obediently apologized to the little sable.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Cang Nian counted the meat strips hanging on the tree and found that none were missing.
In addition, because of the good environment, the skin of these more than 100 strips of meat has hardened, and it is estimated that they will be completely dried in another day or two.
Moreover, perhaps because Tiger Dad was entrenched here, the meat strips not only didn't decrease in size, but there were also no mosquitoes or flies crawling on them. It seemed that they were all intimidated by Tiger Dad's domineering aura and dared not come near.
"Ow~!"
After confirming that the meat strips were unharmed, Cangnian let out a howl at Tiger Brother.
It's time to be self-disciplined!
