Chapter 23: Stealing a Tiger Cub (II)
As a result, she hid motionless for most of the day, seeing that the sun was about to set, and the tigress inside still had no sign of coming out of the cave, hey, it seems that there is no chance today, Xiao Nan sighed in her heart a little angrily, turned around and left quietly, although she was bold, but not to the extent that she spent the night in this beast area.

What's more, if she doesn't return overnight, the Lin family and Zi Xiu may not be worried about what will become, Xiao Nan is an indispensable existence for the Lin family and Zi Xiu, and the Lin family and Zi Xiu are also the two people she is closest to in the world for Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan does not want to involve them to worry about himself for no reason.
Because most of the day was spent in lurking, when Xiao Nan went home, there was only one hare in the bamboo basket that she had hunted on the way back, even so, when she arrived home, the entire Sangyu Village had been shrouded in thick twilight, and Lin and Zixiu stood outside the courtyard together, looking at the path through Baiyun Mountain in front of their house with an anxious face.
"Auntie, why did you come back so late today? No danger, right? When Xiao Nan stepped on the dim twilight and walked towards the two, the heart they were holding tightly slowly returned to its original position, and when Xiao Nan walked in front of him, Lin couldn't help but ask with a little worry.
"No, I didn't see any prey in the mountains today, so I turned around a little more, and when the sky got dark, I woke up and hurried home, and lo and behold, I didn't hunt anything today except a rabbit." Xiao Nan pointed to the back basket and smiled.
"It doesn't matter if you don't hunt, auntie, our family has so many fields, and there are only three people in the family, even if you don't go into the mountains, it is enough to rely on these fields to feed our mother and son, according to my mother's opinion, you should go into the mountains less in the future." Lin Shi thought of what happened to her husband, and she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, she had long wanted to find an opportunity to persuade her aunt not to go into the mountains, but this child was stubborn and liked hunting, Lin never found a chance to speak, Xiao Nan came back late today, and her heart was already entangled, and she just said her wishes.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll go around the periphery, and don't go into the deep forest area, where will there be any danger, if you really don't let me go into the mountains to hunt from now on, I will be bored at home every day, I have to come out of the trouble." Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, she walked to Lin's side, took one of her arms affectionately, and said with a little coquettishness.
"That's it, even if you like Grandma, you won't stop you, but you have to promise Grandma that you must not go into the mountains, Grandma has lost your father, and I can't bear the blow of losing either of you anymore." Lin glanced at her a little helplessly, and no longer mentioned that she would not be allowed to go up the mountain to hunt, but did not forget Yin Yin's advice.
Xiao Nan nodded frequently, but it was not okay for the tiger cub not to enter the deep mountains before it was stolen out, but this could not be said to the Lin family, and continued to sneak into the tiger's den on the second day, and the action became more and more careful, but unfortunately, there was still nothing on this day, so it took a full five days, and finally let Xiao Nan seize the opportunity.
On the morning of the fifth day, Xiao Nan arrived at the tiger cub in the cave next to the cave less than an hour, the tigress walked out of the tiger's den, went out to forage, after the tigress left about half an hour, Xiao Nan quietly dived into the tiger's den, after entering the tiger's den, at a glance saw three sleeping tiger cubs lying on a grass nest next to the cave wall.
These three tiger cubs look like they were born about a month or so, and the size is about the same as four or five month old cat cubs, there are white and flowers, the three brothers are lying next to each other, and they look warm and lovely, but what Xiao Nan wants to do at the moment is to break this kind of warm villain, she gently picked up the nearest yellow and white tiger cub with several patterns mixed with several patterns, put it into a bamboo basket that had already been covered with a thick layer of cotton cloth, and covered it with two large leaves that could hide its smell, and then quietly dived out of the hole.
As soon as he got out of the tiger's den, Xiao Nan immediately left as fast as possible, once the tigress came back and found that the child was gone, it was fun to chase the smell all the way, in order not to attract the attention of the tigress, Xiao Nan deliberately put on a rattan coat made of a common wood plant rattan woven in the jungle every time he dived in, this rattan smell is stronger, and the smell of Xiao Nan's human body is almost negligible under its cover.
When she passed by a waterfall spring, she took off the rattan robe on her body, and for the sake of insurance, she put it into the waterfall and washed it several times, and then threw it into a tree, and washed her hands and face by the water, and then got out of the deep forest area and went out.
Because there is a tiger cub in the back basket, although she came out early today, she didn't hunt more prey, only hunted two pheasants, a hare directly in her hand, and went back, just entered the courtyard gate, and met Lin who was washing clothes in the courtyard, at this time it was still early, at least there was more than an hour before it would be dark, Xiao Nan usually came back when the sun was about to set.
Lin rarely saw her go home so early, and looked at the pheasants and rabbits she was carrying, and said casually: "Auntie came back early today, it seems that the harvest is good, not to mention the back basket, and there are three in her hand." ā
Xiao Nan was about to answer, but she didn't want the little tiger cub in her back basket to wake up at this time, and the tiger cub woke up and found that the place where he was not a familiar tiger den, and suddenly screamed like a fried kitten.
"What's in your back basket? Is it still alive? Lin Shi was startled when she heard the sudden terrible scream in her back basket, and she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Nan's back basket.
Xiao Nan was a little embarrassed to put down the pheasant and rabbit in his hand, and then untied the back basket on his back, and carefully caught the little tiger cub inside, Lin at first glance, thought it was a kitten, and was about to ask her who she wanted to come back from, but after a closer look, she found that Xiao Nan caught it in her hand was actually a little tiger, and was immediately shocked, she swooped, stood up from the basin, came to Xiao Nan in a few steps, stared at the tiger cub in Xiao Nan's hand with a panicked face, and said: "Auntie, you, where did you get it back?" ā
The little tiger cub suddenly came to a strange place, smelling the strange smell around him, his heart was very uneasy, and now he was caught by Xiao Nan in his hands, screaming more and more violently, struggling while screaming, although the tiger cub is only the size of more than a month, but the mouth has begun to grow tender teeth, and the tender claws have also grown some tender claw tips, Xiao Nan is not worried that it will hurt people, but is worried that it will harm herself, she finally stole a tiger cub back, and she can't accept that she died without raising it.
So, she changed her grip to hug, gently hugged the little tiger cub in her arms, and continued to caress its hair to soothe, while giving the tiger cub a smooth hair in her hand, she replied in her mouth, "Mother, I accidentally touched it on the mountain, and I didn't see the tiger girl, so I brought it back, this tiger cub is still too small, should we find some rice soup or something for it to drink?" ā
