Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 5 Where is your mother?
"Here are the scissors. They are for you to treat your wounds."

"Who said I was going to peel off your skin and beat your bones to make wine? Am I that bad?"

Hearing the little tiger's cry, Shen Xing couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

This little tiger cub is too timid. He becomes cowardly when frightened. He doesn't look like the king of beasts at all.

"Son, can you understand what this little tiger is called?" Li Xue asked with a strange look on her face.

"Shen Xing has a friend who works in a zoo and also raises tigers." Shen Dahai helped Shen Xing explain.

"Oh, no wonder." Li Xue suddenly realized.

The corners of Shen Xing's mouth twitched even more violently. With just a casual pull, the fake became real. How could he have any friend in a zoo that raised tigers? They only raised birds!
"Awoo!" The little tiger didn't believe it and lay on the ground, refusing to get up. He looked at Shen Xing's scissors with a look of panic.

"Son, how about I call the nature reserve now and ask them to send someone to deal with it?" Seeing that it was a bit troublesome for Shen Xing to treat the little tiger's wound, Shen Dahai suggested.

There are veterinarians in the reserve who specialize in treating wild animals. It saves them the trouble by leaving professional matters to professionals.

"I've learned some animal first aid knowledge from my friend who's a keeper. I can handle it. Don't worry, Dad."

What a joke! This is the latest model of HUAWEI phone, how can it be handed over to the protected area!

"Dad, Mom, you guys go and do your things, I can do it myself." Shen Xing said lightly, making Shen Dahai and Li Xue feel at ease.

The tiger cub's hind legs appear to be seriously injured, but in fact, the bones are not broken. All we need to do is cut off the fur, clean the wound, sprinkle some medicine on it, and bandage it with gauze.

Shen Xing vaguely felt that the bottle of veterinary trauma medicine rewarded by the system must not be an ordinary thing.

"Okay, son, be careful and don't get bitten by the tiger cub."

The Siberian tiger cub in front of us looks to be just full-month old. After all, it is the cub of a wild beast, so it is very wild and still has a certain degree of aggressiveness.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"Come here, I'll clean your wound."

"If you don't obey me, I'll use these scissors to skin you alive!" Shen Xing threatened viciously.

The little tiger was so frightened that he shivered all over and crawled over reluctantly.

Seeing the little tiger cub like this, Shen Xing laughed. It turned out that intimidation was the most effective.

Shen Xing checked the wound on the tiger cub's hind leg and reached out to touch it. As he expected, the tiger cub's hind leg was not broken.

"If there's no broken bone, it's easy. Just clean the wound and apply some medicine."

"Little guy, you are so lucky. If I hadn't happened to go up the mountain today, you would have lost your life."

He was indeed right. Even if the tiger cub called the tigress, the wound was so corrupt that it could not be healed without medicine. The tiger cub would still be in danger of dying in the wild.

When the little tiger cub saw that the two-legged beast in front of him was not using scissors to skin it, he finally felt relieved and cried out as if to say that it was not all the fault of you two-legged beasts. How could there be that bird trap on the mountain? It was you humans who set it there.

Hearing this, Shen Xing was stunned, then fell silent, and just lowered his head to clean the tiger cub's wound.

The tiger cub was right. The trap for catching pheasants was set by the villagers. It was people's fault and had nothing to do with it. It was just accidentally caught in the trap and was injured and almost died.

"Where's your mother?"

After a few minutes, Shen Xing took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

"Ow!"

"Ow!"

The tiger cub responded.

"So that's what happened. You went hunting with your mother, and you got lost while chasing a lizard." Shen Xing suddenly realized. The lizard is also called a skink, and its scientific name is "Chinese skink". It is a non-venomous lizard that is very active in the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve.

Although the little tiger is only one month old, he is still at an age where he is lively and playful. It is not surprising that he got lost while chasing a lizard.

"Will your mother come to see you?" Shen Xing asked again.

"Awoo!" The little tiger cub shook his head and told Shen Xing with a confused look that he didn't know either.

"Little guy, I know you can understand what I say. Let me tell you first, I saved your life, right?"

"Among us humans...in our world of two-legged animals, there's a saying, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If you're a good child, you should repay the kindness.' So, you have to repay me for this kindness, understand?" Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and said to the tiger cub with a smile.

The little tiger blinked and his eyeballs rolled around.

"What's with that look in your eyes? As your savior...a two-legged beast, how could I lie to you?" Shen Xing said guiltily.

He was puzzled. How come this wild Siberian tiger cub was so clever and hard to fool?
"Ouch!"

"Fuck, you're still reluctant to agree? I won't treat you anymore, just let you die!"

"Ooooooo~"

"That's better. When your mother comes, tell her that I saved you and ask her not to cause trouble for me, my family and the village." Shen Xing nodded with satisfaction. It seems that the little guy can be taught. He has successfully fooled him.

"Bear with it, the wound is already a little infected and needs to be disinfected."

After cutting the fur near the wound on the tiger cub's hind leg, Shen Xing saw that the wound was a little black. There was no alcohol at home, so he had to pour a basin of water, clean the wound for the tiger cub, and then cut off the blackened flesh with scissors.

During the whole process, the little tiger cub screamed wildly, crying in pain and calling for its mother.

After cleaning the wound, Shen Xing took out a clean white bandage and the bottle of mysterious golden medicine. Because there was no independent space, the system's rewards were automatically put into his trouser pockets.

Shen Xing opened the bottle of mysterious animal medicine, sprinkled it evenly on the tiger cub's wound, and then tied it with a white bandage.

"Okay, after applying the medicine, it should be healed in a few days."

Shen Xing is very confident about the system's rewards.

The little tiger cub stood up in pain and turned his head to look at his hind legs which were tied with a white bandage with a big bow on it.

"Ouch!"

"It's good-looking, why are you complaining about it?" Shen Xing rolled his eyes at it and said unhappily.

"Okay, you stay at my house for the next few days and don't run around. When your injury is healed, if your mother shows up, I will send you to the mountain." Shen Xing touched the tiger cub's head. It was furry and slippery and felt very comfortable.

"Awoo!" The little tiger protested again, shaking his head in dissatisfaction, trying to break free from the touch of the hateful two-legged beast.

"Okay, okay, I won't touch you anymore." Shen Xing spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

Mental communication told him that the tiger cub disliked being touched on the head. The saying that touching a child's head will prevent him from growing taller is very common in both the animal world and the bipedal world.

Just then, Shen Xing heard the tiger cub's stomach growling.

"Hey, are you hungry?" Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully.

"Ouch!"

The little tiger covered his eyes with his paws, as if he was ashamed of being laughed at by the hateful two-legged beasts because of his growling stomach.

I am so ashamed of myself, this unruly stomach!
