Survival on a deserted island, a fake daughter raises a tiger cub and makes the star cry

Chapter 249 The First Hot Pot of Winter

Shi Nianqing moved all the vegetables that were growing in bamboo baskets outside into the room.

The top is covered with a thin film of leaves to maintain the temperature inside.

These vegetables are all growing very well. Most of them are wild vegetables that they found, and after cultivation, they taste very good.

In particular, there was a basket of mint, because he was given fertilizer in a timely manner, and it was easy to grow.

It looks lush and green now, and is especially pleasing to the eye.

When Shi Nianqing moved in, she suddenly said, "I remember we still have a lot of hot pot base left. How about we have hot pot tonight?"

Winter is a cold time, and it's so cozy to have a group of people gathered around a hot pot.

Wu Xuan and Su Ya's eyes immediately lit up. Hot pot, you can never get tired of eating it.

In addition, there is now a wide variety of seasonings available, offering more choices.

Plus, eating hot pot makes you feel warm all over. In the summer, you sweat all over, and now that it's snowing, it's so comfortable.

"Great! It's perfect timing that we can harvest all the vegetables we planted. We'll have hot pot tonight."

"It's been a long time since I've had this. The weather is getting colder, and eating hot pot makes me feel warm all over."

Just as they were talking about what to eat that evening, the big tiger and the black panther who had come out ran straight through the gate and into the house.

They were covered in snow, and they even shook it off at the door before coming in.

The fireplace in the middle, which was lit by burning charcoal, made it feel warm as soon as you came in.

Several tiger cubs pounced directly at them.

This time, they went out hunting and it took them four or five days. When they came back, a tiger cub had a prey in its mouth.

There were also a big tiger and a black leopard, with a little leopard following behind, each carrying a small rabbit in its mouth.

The little rabbit was clearly stiff and hard, but the little leopard held its head high, looking exceptionally proud.

It looks like the little rabbit was hunted by the leopard cub alone.

The tiger cub was carrying larger prey in its mouth, namely young lambs and calves that were not yet fully grown.

Unlike the little rabbit, it didn't move stiffly; it was covered with a layer of white snowflakes.

The tiger and the black leopard had even bigger prey in their mouths.

I tossed it aside, shook off its fur, and it felt much cleaner.

Shi Nianqing looked at the prey they had brought back.

"We were just saying we'd have hot pot tonight, and it looks like our little one added some dishes for us."

As Shi Nianqing was being petted on the head, several tiger cubs rushed over, some even using their large heads to bump into her, nearly knocking her over.

The little tiger tilted its head, clearly unaware of its own size.

They are now over six months old; tigers reach adult size at two to three years old.

Perhaps inheriting the genes of the big tiger, the six-month-old tiger cubs, the largest of which already weighs over 200 pounds.

Even the smaller ones weigh over 150 kilograms; they're all big guys, looking powerful and imposing.

But when she's being affectionate, she still likes to nudge people with her head.

It's so cute and adorable, it has an inexplicable charm.

It has a kind of tough guy acting cute.

Especially when they tilted their heads and looked at Shi Nianqing with their big eyes, they were incredibly adorable.

Standing next to a big tiger creates a stark contrast.

In the wild, predators like tigers and leopards will keep their cubs with them until they are a year and a half old.

During this time, they will teach the cubs how to hunt. Once they are truly independent, they will drive them away and let them find their own territory again!
However, they certainly won't stray too far from Shi Nianqing now. During regular hunting trips, it's the tiger that teaches them.

Although they still occasionally need tigers to hunt for them, the cooperation has greatly reduced the tigers' need to hunt.

They had clearly eaten their fill before returning, and then lay down by the fireplace to enjoy its warmth, occasionally circling around Shi Nianqing.

They look incredibly cute.

The viewers in the live stream were completely charmed by these adorable little ones.

Just then, Shi Nianqing suddenly remembered the queen bee.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and I wonder how the queen bee is doing.

We still need to go and take a look.

"You guys prepare the ingredients for our hot pot dinner tonight, I need to go out and check on things."

“We haven’t visited the queen bees in a long time. They are quite vulnerable, and we don’t know if the sudden drop in temperature will pose any danger.”

The more Shi Nianqing thought about this, the more worried she became.

Bees are small creatures, and when faced with natural disasters, they certainly cannot withstand them like large wild animals.

Suya and Wu Xuan had also thought of this. Suya suddenly said, "We still have some fabric from the winter clothes we made before. We can take it over to see."

Shi Nianqing nodded, carrying her basket, and soon arrived at the place where the queen bee lived.

You can already clearly see a layer of frozen bees on the outside.

They all fell to the ground, and outside, there was another layer of bees surrounding the hive, constantly moving.

It looks like they're trying to maintain the temperature inside, as there's a thick layer of snow on the outside.

The queen bee sensed Shi Nianqing's arrival and wanted to come out, but she couldn't withstand the wind and snow outside.

"You can stay inside. I'll tidy up the outside for you and leave you a corner to come in and out. I'll seal off the rest of the area."

The queen bee lives in a small, recessed cave, but at least two sides face the wind. During the last typhoon, the things hanging outside had already corroded away.

Shi Nianqing planted several new, healthy trees around the area, along with some materials she had brought with her.

They used these materials to build a wall around the cave.

The walls were covered with mud, and then covered with fallen leaves that they found.

Near the beehive, wrap the scraps of cloth you brought with you.

They left an entrance and exit about the size of a fist to ensure they wouldn't freeze to death in the winter.

It took me two or three hours to get these things done.

The temperature inside the hive gradually increased, and only then did the queen bee dare to slowly emerge from inside.

She danced a beautiful waltz for Shi Nianqing.

Shi Nianqing exchanged a Beast Blood Pill from the system and placed it in front of the Bee Queen.

"In the meantime, finish this first, and if anything happens in winter, you can have your men come to me."

The queen bee was clearly more intelligent; she hugged the round pill to her chest and tried to fly away.

Shi Nianqing shook her head directly: "You guys just need to get through this period first."

The forces of nature are cruel to any living being.

I hope they can get through this winter safely.

After finishing these tasks, Shi Nianqing prepared to go back!
I saw a frozen pheasant on the road, so I took it home. It'll be perfect for making soup base...
