At dusk, a bonfire is lit in the front yard, and a whole guinea deer is dressed on a jujube wooden shelf, and the oil drips in the fire and makes a creaking sound, and the aroma spreads, attracting people's index fingers.

Ming'er squatted on the side and watched salivating, Xie Weiran held a sharp knife in his hand, and handed a piece of venison to Ming'er with the blade to eat, Yunhui looked at the corner of her eyes on the side, but she didn't say a word.

The men of the Xie family are all raised roughly, and Ming'er has rarely followed his mother or maids since he was four years old, and they are all taken by the guards of the Hou Mansion to play, but during this time they lived in the palace, and they always followed the nurse Aunt Lan behind him.

He has been led by Ning Liangcheng today, and he can't go hunting in the mountains in the afternoon, so Ning Liangcheng tied a lynx caught alive to a tree in the backyard and played with him with a branch.

But the lynx seemed to have just given birth to a cub, and its belly was still heavy, and it lay listlessly on the ground, and from time to time it wailed lowly, and its cry was very mournful.

Ming'er saw that it was pitiful, and was telling her father that she was going to release it, and Sima Yulou listened and said, "Don't put it yet, it can come in handy for a while." ”

Not long after, listening to the rain returned.

Ming'er stepped forward to look at the tiger cub he was holding in his arms, with light white fur all over its body, only a few pale gray stripes on its tail, its eyes closed, its mouth half open, and its whining sound like a cat.

Ming'er said: "This white cat is really good-looking. ”

Tingyu glanced at him, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and he smiled, and said, "This is a tiger." ”

Sima Yulou took the tiger cub and took a closer look, "It's actually a white tiger, but it's rare." ”

Jin Yi stroked it lightly with his hand, its body was soft, it really looked like a cat, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, "Is it rare to see white tigers?" ”

Sima Yulou nodded, "It's almost one in ten thousand, in fact, growing this color is a disease, such a white tiger can't grow much in the mountains and wilderness, because there is no camouflage of black and yellow tiger skin, it can't catch prey at all." ”

Jin Yi thought about it, remembering that when he was a child, there was a wandering magician who passed through Yekang, and told his father that the purple eyes of the Yekang royal family were because something was missing in the blood, although it was not a fatal disease, but the life expectancy of people in the Yekang royal family was shorter than ordinary people, and few men were over sixty, and women were even shorter.

Yekang has always preached that the purpler the eyes, the nobler the bloodline, so when she was young, she was often proud of her purple eyes. It's just that after arriving in the Central Plains, I wish I didn't have such a pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people.

At this time, after listening to Sima Yulou's words, I couldn't help but think that the white tiger could not survive in the mountains and wilderness because of its coat color, and it was also paid special attention to wherever he went. People in the world often say that if something goes wrong, it is a demon, even if it is the queen today, some people secretly call her the demon queen behind her back.

Ning Liang took the female lynx out, and Sima Yulou sent the hungry little white tiger to its side. The lynx looked at the white mass that arched down its belly, but it also aroused a bit of motherhood, let it suck milk, and from time to time stick out its tongue and lick it.

The little white tiger ate a lot of food, and it took him half a day to fill his stomach, he stood up crookedly, turned around in place, swayed his body to Ming'er's feet, and rubbed back and forth on his legs affectionately, making Ming'er laugh.

Yun Hui looked nervous beside her, and pulled Xie Weiran, "That's a tiger ......"

Ming'er was not afraid at all, picked it up and handed it to her mother, "Look, it looks like a cat." ”

Sima Yulou grabbed the back of the little white tiger's neck, picked it up, looked into the tiger's mouth, and poked his fingers in, touching the newly grown short tiger teeth, "I will probably have to eat milk for a few more days." He kicked the lynx lying next to him with his foot, and said with a smile: "Let it be a nurse for a few days." ”

Ming'er grabbed a piece of roast venison in her hand and asked, "Uncle, can it eat meat now?" ”

Sima Yulou said with a smile: "You can't give it cooked meat, or it will really look like a cat when it grows up, and it has to eat raw meat." ”

Jin Yi glanced at him disappreciatively, thinking that the tiger cubs raised by Qiao Wei and I used to eat meat porridge, and they grew fast and rolled like a little pig.

Sima Yulou said: "The tiger's eyesight and ear power are the best among beasts, and the white tiger is a few points stronger than ordinary tigers, even at night, it can see night as day." He stared into Jinyi's eyes and said to her, "Look at its eyes......"

There was only the light of the fire in the courtyard, which seemed a little dark, and then when I looked closer, I realized that the eyes of the little white tiger were blue, like two green lakes, shining in the dark night.

She and the little white tiger looked at each other like this, and inexplicably felt close in her heart, and took it and held it in her arms. The little white tiger stretched out his paws, tentatively scratched Jinyi's sleeve, and when he saw that she didn't react, he boldly gnawed it, as if he smelled the fresh fragrance in her sleeve, and his nose arched inward.

Sima Yulou patted it on the head, and it immediately stopped talking honestly, but its nose was still on Jinyi's sleeve, and its blue eyes stared at her.

Jin Yi thought it was funny, "Give it a name." ”

Ming'er hurriedly said: "Call it Little Meow, the cat I used to raise was called Little Meow." ”

Xie Weiran laughed, "It's much bigger than your cat when it grows up." ”

"That's called Big Meow!"

Everyone laughed, and Sima Yulou said casually: "Call it Xiaobai." ”

Jin Yi muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart, Xue Rufeng is also a white horse, he has a nice name, such a rare white tiger, but the name is so casual.

Over there, Ming'er had already shouted "Xiaobai, Xiaobai", so she had to shake her head and smile bitterly, this name is also straightforward enough.

Everyone gathered around the fire to eat roast deer, Xiaobai lay at Jinyi's feet and watched pitifully, the smell of meat caused its saliva to flow out.

secretly tore a piece of deer leg meat and was about to feed it, but Sima Yulou saw it and took it over to prevent it from eating. When the meat came to his mouth, he couldn't eat it, Xiaobai screamed, but the back of his neck was lifted, and he was so anxious that he kicked his legs around.

Sima Yulou asked someone to bring a pheasant over, twisted off a bloody leg and threw it to it, and threw the rest to the lynx.

Xiaobai smelled the blood, his tiger eyes lit up, and his hands and feet were torn by pressing the chicken legs on the ground, and the snow-white paws were bright red.

Jin Yi looked at it in amazement, this was completely different from his original raising method, Xiaobai looked like a docile cat before, but at this time there was blood on the side of his mouth, but he looked extremely fierce when he was gnawing happily, and he couldn't help but raise his foot and kick it away gently, with a look of disgust on his face.

Sima Yulou chuckled, "Why don't I find you another cat to raise?" (To be continued.) )
