Chapter 12: The Great Flood II
"He's a man-eating tiger, aren't you afraid of him?" the leopard-skin cat turned its face sideways, squinted its eyes, and looked coldly at the weak little white tiger.
"He's not the only tiger on the ark! besides, we all have the Archangel giving us the Divine Herb to use as our amulet, which can inflict a deadly blow on the beasts that attack us, so what do we have to fear?"
"God is so thoughtful! But I'm still very worried, and even though there are divine herbs to light these animals, we will never see the sun again for many days to come, so that we will not only feel weak and weak, but we will also quickly wither and lose a lot of food because the plants on the ark do not get light, and then what will we do?"
"The plants on the ark will not wither, because God also sent the archangel to bring a fruit of wisdom to grandpa, and it is here that it can shine like the sun on all things, so that they can continue to grow, so we don't have to worry about lack of food at all!"
"This sounds ridiculous, since the Wisdom Fruit is God's so-called forbidden fruit, how can it become so sacred?"
"The fruit of wisdom was originally divine, and it was only because our first parents swallowed it to satisfy their own desires that it also suffered this undeserved crime!
"If it weren't for the serpent tempting her, she and her man would have been as stupid as the animals on this ark, and you would have been naked by now, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between right and wrong!" said the leopard cat, "So, I've always felt that the snake should be regarded as a first-class hero to you humans, and I really don't understand why you still hate him for so long, and still regard him as a symbol of great sin!"
"You are a good talker, Arthur," said the boy who held the kitten, and laughed, "there are only two of you who can speak human words on the ark—it's a pity that the fat mouse was taken away by the pigeon! Hey, I want to ask you, how do you speak human language?"
"Didn't I tell you? I ate the tender leaves that the fat mouse gave me, and I could talk!"
"But the lamb said you could speak before!"
"I used to like to imitate human pronunciation, but I can't say it completely!" said the leopard cat with a flicker, and his deliberate concealment could not escape Meng'er's eyes.
"You're so smart, little devil!" the little boy who was holding him rubbed his neck with his little face dotingly, while the other children stared at Meng'er, the more surprised they became.
Meng Er was very unaccustomed to being looked at endlessly, especially when he thought of his embarrassed appearance at the moment, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, there was a commotion from outside the hatch, and several children immediately turned their heads, all looking a little panicked.
The leopard-skin cat was so clever that he immediately broke free from the little boy's embrace, jumped to the ground, and ran out of the hatch into the dark corridor.
"It's Grandpa calling us!Ah, I hear Daddy arguing with someone!" exclaimed one child.
"It seems that an outsider has come to the ark, and something is going to happen!" The eldest child, who seemed to be the biggest, rushed out the door, and the rest of the children ran out with him, too eager to figure out the emergency, to even think of closing the hatch.
The noise outside intensified, and Meng Er heard the hoarse shouts of one man and the angry shouts of another group. An old voice was particularly loud as he repeatedly, "God will not allow anyone other than Noah's family to enter the ark, and we will be damned!"
"But I want to live, I want to live, I want to live!" the man roared, recklessly. "Why is God so unjust that He has only given you the chance to live?"
"This is the will of God, and we have nothing to do about it!"
Meng Er felt that man was so pitiful, he was just like himself, abandoned by cruel fate: at this time, he remembered his mother who had died tragically, and the scenes that had happened in the gladiatorial arena flashed quickly before his eyes, which really made him heartbroken!
Unconsciously, tears flowed from his eyes, which made him feel so ashamed: "I am the Tiger King, how can I shed tears? If my mother sees me now, she will definitely feel ashamed!"
But where is she now, Mother?
He remembered that at the end, the hateful woman ordered the burly man to peel off his mother's tiger skin, and at that moment Meng Er couldn't bear it anymore, so he crashed into the inner wall of the golden carriage like crazy!
