Chapter 1229: They Want Meat
Lin Qiao observed those dying animals. The ones before Black weren’t bitten but strangled. Their bodies were twisted, but they were still alive. The animals lying before Bowwow all had broken legs.
“Awooo!” The young tiger abruptly howled at Lin Qiao, then patted the big rat in front of it with a paw. It found two rats that had relatively pure vibes. It wasn’t able to catch larger prey as it was still weak. Catching the rats at level-two was the best it could do at the moment.
“What do you want?” Lin Qiao walked up to the little tiger and lowered her head to look at it.
“Awo!” The tiger pushed the rats which were at their last breath toward her feet.
“Are these for me?” Lin Qiao watched its movement and asked with confusion.
“Awo!” The young tiger raised its head and howled again.
“I don’t speak your language,” said Lin Qiao helplessly, “How am I supposed to know what you mean? Since you’re giving them to me, I’ll just take them.”
After saying that, she put the rats into her s.p.a.ce.
“Awo!” Once she made the rats disappear, the young tiger immediately sprung up and roared at her agitatedly. It circled around Lin Qiao’s feet and patted her shanks with its paws.
What did that mean? Lin Qiao was confused again.
She saved the little tiger’s life, but hadn’t spent much time trying to communicate with it. She didn’t understand its meaning.
Did the tiger not want her to put the rats into her s.p.a.ce?
With that thought, she took the rats back out.
As she thought, the little tiger immediately quieted down. It sat down by the rats and patted them again with its paw, and then pushed them toward Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao was utterly confused.
At last, she turned to ask the others, “What on earth does it mean? Does it want to give me those rats or not?”
“We don’t know,” Duan Juan laughed, “We are not its feeders. How are we supposed to know what it means? It doesn’t even let us get close.”
Earlier, someone pa.s.sed by and the four pets of Lin Qiao bared their teeth and roared at that person together.
Lin Qiao turned to Xie Dong, who said helplessly, “If these aren’t for you, maybe it wants you to feed it.”
“Feed it? Hasn’t he been with those three and feeding itself lately? Why does it suddenly want me to feed it?” Lin Qiao was even more confused.
At that point, Mo Yan came over with a hand on his chin. His approach made the young tiger and the three grow alert immediately. However, because of his emperor’s vibe, the four didn’t dare to growl at him, and only stared at him vigilantly.
They knew Mo Yan, but still did not want him to come close!
Mo Yan looked at the four and said, “Are you going to start a zoo or an animal farm? You have a tiger, a snake, goats, and roe deers.”
His voice was hoa.r.s.e, like the voices of all zombies. However, it was also uniquely clear and attractive. It was not beautiful, but not unpleasant to hear either. It was a special voice that could give people a special feeling.
On hearing him, Lin Qiao gave him a glare and said, “Running a zoo is not bad. What? Do you have a problem with it?”
Mo Yan immediately shook his head as he turned up one side of his lip corners and said, “No, no. This little tiger of yours is interesting though. What does it want?”
“That’s what I want to know,” said Lin Qiao, “Why don’t you help me and make a guess?”
“Why would I guess what a tiger is thinking about?” said Mo Yan, “I don’t know it well. Why don’t you ask your little brother to talk to it? He knows about the little tiger more than I do, doesn’t he?”
On hearing that, Lin Qiao had her eyes glowing. “Yeah! I’ll bring Lu Tianyi out and let him figure out what the little thing wants.”
She flashed into her s.p.a.ce right after she said that. A short while later, she came back out together with Lu Tianyi and her son. She took Teng over, then asked him and the little boy, “Figure out what this one wants. It pushed the rats to me but didn’t let me put them in the s.p.a.ce. Why did it give them to me then?”
At the sight of the little tiger, Lu Tianyi happily walked to it and scooped it up as he said, “Whoa, Flower, you’ve grown bigger! You’re so heavy now!”
“Awowow!” The young tiger struggled briefly, then put both forepaws on Lu Tianyi’s shoulder and lay in his arms.
Lin Qiao looked at Lu Tianyi and said, “When did you name it Flower?”
“A long time ago,” Lu Tianyi smiled.
Lin Qiao looked at him as if he were r.e.t.a.r.ded. “Seriously,” she said, “Why on earth did you name a tiger ‘Flower’?”
“Awo!” As soon as she said that, Flower started struggling again. The tiger was strong, so Lu Tianyi failed to hold it tight and let it leap back to the ground.
Flower hadn’t realized how girly its name was. What it cared about was food. Once again, it ran back to the rats and patted them.
“Awo!” This time, it didn’t howl at Lin Qiao, but at Lu Tianyi.
“It’s hungry!”
“It’s hungry!”
Lu Tianyi and Teng said in one voice.
With confusion, Lin Qiao looked at Lu Tianyi, then at Teng.
Teng glanced at the young tiger, then said to Lu Tianyi, “Is it hungry, Uncle?”
Lu Tianyi walked to the young tiger and squatted to rub its fluffy head, then raised his head to look at Teng and asked, “Teng, how do you know?”
“I felt it,” Teng scratched his chin with his fingers and said.
“It’s hungry, so why did it give the rats to me?” Lin Qiao asked.
Lu Tianyi stood up and said, “It wants the meat to be soaked in your lake water. I guess this little tiger is no longer as excited about playing outside as it was before. Now, it has probably found out that the raw meat isn’t as tasty as the meat soaked in the lake water.”
The meat soaked in Lin Qiao’s lake water was delicious. All of Lin Qiao’s zombies and pets liked it.
In the s.p.a.ce, Lin Qiao’s pets sometimes even stole the meat that she soaked in the buckets.
Lin Qiao hadn’t noticed that, but Lu Tianyi had.
After hearing what he said, Lin Qiao turned to the four pets and said with surprise, “Really? Is it like what he said?”
“Wow!” Bowwow happily barked at her. He was able to understand Lu Tianyi’s words.
Black could understand some of Lu Tianyi’s words too. However, unlike the dog, he had been quiet all the time.
Watching the dog’s reaction, Lin Qiao said knowingly, “I guess you’re right. I’ll leave them to you then. I’ll put them in the s.p.a.ce, and then you’ll be doing the rest of the work. I should hurry on with my journey.”
While speaking, she glanced at Lu Tianyi. Currently, the four pets wouldn’t let anyone but Lin Qiao and Lu Tianyi get close to their prey.
“Don’t run about in the s.p.a.ce, I’m telling you guys,” Lin Qiao warned the four, then put them into the s.p.a.ce along with those dying animals, leaving them under Lu Tianyi’s care.
