69. Chapter 69: Picking Up a Tiger Cub

Mentioning this, the eyes of the two sisters dimmed.

The two jin of wild boar meat that Zhao Dasao brought back yesterday were directly snatched away by Zhao Wulai and Zhao Ergou. The father and son ate it without leaving a drop, not giving the sisters a single bit.

It was only because Zhao Dasao fought to the death that the last jin of wild boar meat was left, hidden under the bed, and not discovered by Zhao Wulai.

But if they went back tonight to cook the wild boar meat, it would inevitably be discovered by Zhao Wulai and then snatched away, and the sisters might still not get to eat any in the end.

"Don't be afraid. Tonight, Mother will take the meat to the hillside to cook for you to eat." Zhao Dasao cherished her two daughters, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind. This time, no matter what, she would not let Zhao Wulai snatch the last of the wild boar meat again.

However, things went against her wishes.

At this moment, in Zhao Dasao's house, besides Zhao Wulai, there was one more person.

"I heard your wife got two jin of wild boar meat yesterday. Where is it?" As soon as Widow Xu entered the room, her eyes began to dart around.

Zhao Wulai lay comfortably on the kang, crossing his legs, and said with an aftertaste: "Of course, it was eaten by me."

Upon hearing this, Widow Xu's face immediately fell, and she turned to leave.

"Hey, don't go. You were the one who took the initiative to follow me home this time. Why are you leaving now?" Zhao Wulai hurriedly grabbed her.

Widow Xu bit her lip. If it weren't for the wild boar meat in his house, she would never have entered the house with this bastard Zhao Wulai.

Ever since she was insulted by Zhao Wulai last time, this guy had been blocking her every three days. She couldn't be stubborn, so she could only be pulled into the forest by the other party to do that kind of thing.

After all, she was a widow whose husband had died, and she had been empty and lonely for many years. Zhao Wulai was also very good at that work, and she gradually enjoyed it.

Anyway, no one discovered it, and doing it once, twice, or three times was no big deal.

There was no work in the fields these days, so she hung out with Zhao Wulai every day. Early this morning, Zhao Wulai ran to her house, and after being served comfortably by her, he mentioned the fact that there were two jin of wild boar meat in his house.

She had also heard about the distribution of wild boar meat in the village, but as a widow, it was naturally impossible for her to go up the mountain to dig ditches like those men, so she didn't have a share of the wild boar meat.

But hearing that Zhao Wulai's house had received two jin, she had ideas.

Anyway, his wife had a cowardly temperament and didn't dare to say anything. It was no big deal to let Zhao Wulai distribute half a jin or a tael to her, but now hearing that all the wild boar meat had been eaten by Zhao Wulai, she was naturally angry, only feeling that she had been deceived by Zhao Wulai!

"Alright, alright, look at your appearance. You were clearly calling out so happily when you were under me, why are you giving me a cold face now?" After Zhao Wulai finished speaking, he turned back to the room, climbed directly under the bed, and felt out the wild boar meat wrapped in tree leaves inside.

"Bah, this woman guards against me like guarding against a thief. Don't think I don't know she hid the meat under the bed!"

Zhao Wulai cursed twice, raised his chin at Widow Xu in front of him, and said with an arrogant face: "Come, serve me well first. After you serve me comfortably, I will consider distributing half of this meat to you."

When Widow Xu, who was originally angry, saw the whole piece of wild boar meat wrapped in tree leaves, she instantly turned from cloudy to sunny. She walked up flatteringly, glanced at the clean and tidy bed behind Zhao Wulai, and deliberately showed shyness: "Right here in your house? If your wife discovers it..."

"What if she discovers it? That yellow-faced woman doesn't dare to manage me!" After speaking, Zhao Wulai impatiently reached his hand into Widow Xu's clothes and couldn't wait to knead it twice.

Widow Xu gasped twice, and the last bit of reason she originally had dissipated. She climbed onto Zhao Wulai's shoulders with both hands and said in a soft voice: "You promised, after we're done, that meat must be distributed to me half..."

……

At the same time.

Jiang Wei brought Jiang Xiaoxiao to the place where she set the traps.

There were five traps in total, all equipped with animal traps.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at them a few times. Only one animal trap had caught a wild chicken, and the others had caught nothing.

That wild chicken was very small, weighing less than two jin, but at least it counted as having some meat.

Jiang Wei was not very satisfied: "It seems these traps need to be set in another place..."

As she was speaking, she stepped forward to prepare to retrieve the animal traps, but unexpectedly heard a low, weak "Awoo" sound coming from the grass on the side.

Pushing aside the grass to look, it turned out to be a tiger cub, small in size, only the size of a tabby cat.

It seemed to have been caught by an animal trap too, but it broke free later, its leg was covered in blood, and it couldn't walk, so it hid here.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the tiger cub and thought to herself that it was worthy of being the female lead. This luck was simply absolute. Tigers, the kings of all beasts, generally only existed in deep forests. She hadn't expected to encounter one on this hillside forest.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't we raise it?" Jiang Wei suggested after looking at it twice.

"Ah?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned and said subconsciously: "But it's a tiger, it will eat people!"

As a modern person, she had a deep fear of such fierce beasts as tigers. She didn't have the good luck of the female lead. If the tiger cub's parents came to the door, her lame water-attribute ability wouldn't be able to beat them.

Jiang Wei directly grabbed the tiger cub by the collar and threw it into her arms, saying: "Take it home and raise it. It can help you look after the house in the future."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "……"

You can also find a dog to look after the house. Using a tiger to look after the house... only the female lead who isn't afraid of death would do this kind of thing.

But looking at the tiger cub in her arms that was so weak it couldn't even call out, Jiang Xiaoxiao still softened her heart. Such a small tiger cub had probably just been weaned not long ago and was injured by an animal trap. If it were left here, it would be eaten by other fierce beasts at night, right...

Jiang Xiaoxiao touched the tiger cub's injured leg. It should just be a flesh wound, and the bone wasn't injured.

She remembered the lame milk goat at home, which also got better after drinking her ability water. Why not feed it some ability water?

There was no one around, so Jiang Xiaoxiao put her finger to the tiger cub's mouth, and clear water flowed out from her fingertips.

The tiger cub sniffed its nose and immediately stretched out its tongue to roll the water from Jiang Xiaoxiao's fingertips into its mouth.

After a few mouthfuls of ability water, the tiger cub's spirit improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. It lay in Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms and enthusiastically licked her palm with its tongue.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be happy. Don't say, it really looked like a tabby cat, and raising it at home seemed quite good...

"It seems to like you very much." Jiang Wei said.

"It should like drinking the ability water I released." After saying that, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but doubt: "Mother, does my ability water have a healing function? The milk goat's leg wasn't lame after drinking it for a few days."

"It has a little healing function, but not much..." Jiang Wei pondered and said, "Generally, water-attribute abilities are auxiliary plus healing, and the attack power is not strong, but for healing, it will only begin to appear at a high order..."
