Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Soon, the red sun in the east completely rose above the horizon, and the golden sunlight pierced through the sparse treetops, scattering across the entire mountain forest. The snow shimmered with dazzling silver light under the sun, dispelling the chill of the night.

Wang Yuyu followed the familiar path and arrived at a small mountain river.

Seeing the river completely frozen over by a thick layer of ice, Wang Yuyu's amber eyes brightened, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing her snow-white sharp teeth, and she strode quickly toward the riverbank.

On the river, a slightly raised white outline stands out. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a simple river dam built with stones of varying sizes and small branches.

The dam is completely covered by snow in winter, and you can't see the "secret" hidden under the snow unless you get close.

He ran to the riverbank, first throwing the positioning ball from his mouth into the snow on the shore. Then, he stretched out his right paw and wiped away the snow from the ice surface little by little, revealing a smooth and transparent layer of ice.

Through the ice, you can clearly see a group of large, plump fish swimming slowly underwater, occasionally flicking their tails and stirring up tiny currents.

Wang Yu burst into laughter, overjoyed: "Hahaha, it's really gotten fatter! It was just a tiny fish weighing a few ounces in the summer, and now it's grown into a big guy weighing over a pound! Time to eat it!"

This river dam is Wang Yuyu's "masterpiece".

In the summer, he often came here to drink water and found that there were many small fish in the river. He then had a bright idea and used stones from the mountains and forests and fallen branches to build this simple river dam little by little.

His original intention was to block the fish so that he could catch them, but he never expected that it would unintentionally become a "natural fishpond".

In the summer, he would occasionally throw the leftovers of his prey into the dam as "feed". Unexpectedly, in just a few months, these fish grew so fat, and there were even a few big fish that were estimated to weigh more than two kilograms.

Looking at the plump wild fish under the ice, Wang Yuyu's mouth was practically watering.

In summer, the river is swift, and catching fish takes some effort.

But now it's winter and the river is frozen. As long as you break a hole, the fish will be attracted by the fresh air, and catching a few to satisfy your cravings will be a piece of cake.

However, he didn't rush to catch fish immediately, but instead walked towards a flat, large rock by the river.

Just as he jumped onto the rock, the positioning ball that had been thrown into the snow suddenly moved.

Six thin metal legs slowly emerged from the bottom of the ball, and the camera at the top quietly rose up, moving slowly across the snow like a small robot, adjusting its angle to face Wang Yuyu.

Wang Yuyu didn't notice the little ball's movement. He jumped onto the rock and quickly swept away the snow with his claws, allowing the rising sun to directly heat the rock's surface.

"After we finish eating the fish, we can relax here in the sun for a while. It'll be so nice!"

He planned in his mind that after finishing all this, he couldn't wait to jump back to the riverbank.

He stretched out his thick front paws and tentatively pressed them on the ice before suddenly exerting force.

With a crisp "crack," a small hole was instantly pierced in the thick ice layer, and the icy river water immediately rushed up through the gap.

Wang Yuyu subconsciously took two steps back and shook her paws in disgust.

He doesn't like feeling wet all over.

Once the river stopped surging upwards, he stepped forward again, squatted by the cave entrance, his amber eyes fixed on the water, his ears slightly perked up, and he even breathed very softly.

The fish in the deep water quickly smelled the fresh air and swam over from the deep water, circling below the gap in the ice.

They seemed to sense the danger and hesitated to approach the water's surface, merely lingering below.

But as more and more fish swam over, the little dissolved oxygen underwater was simply not enough.

Several larger fish couldn't wait any longer. They pushed aside the smaller fish around them and swam desperately toward the gap in the water, their mouths opening and closing as they fought for fresh air.

Wang Yuyu, who had been waiting quietly, suddenly narrowed his eyes. The time had come!

He suddenly swung his right claw, slamming it heavily onto the water's surface.

With a loud "bang," water splashed everywhere, instantly turning the river water at the gap in the ice into a murky mess.

When he quickly raised his claws, two large fish weighing over a pound each were already firmly hooked onto his sharp nails, their bodies still writhing and struggling.

Beneath the surface, many fish that had been stunned by the splashing floated to the surface, belly up.

Wang Yuyu flicked its claws, throwing the hooked fish onto the snowy shore, and then immediately used its claws to quickly widen the gap in the ice.

Then, he bent down and used his mouth to precisely pick out the fish that had been stunned and were floating on the surface of the water one by one, and threw them onto the shore, afraid that they would be washed back to the deep water by the current.

In just a few minutes, twelve large, fat fish lay on the snowy shore, the largest of which weighed nearly two pounds and its tail was still twitching slightly.

Wang Yu grinned with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "That's enough, that's enough to satisfy my craving. I'll save the rest for later, they'll be good as reserves."

He stepped forward, pinned down a struggling fish with his paw, lowered his head and precisely bit the fish's belly. With a slight sway of his head from side to side, he tore off a large chunk of succulent fish meat with a "rip" sound, and began to swallow it in large mouthfuls, eating with great relish.

His series of actions—fishing and eating—were completely captured by a small, robot-like ball not far away and transmitted back to the research base in real time.

At the research base dozens of kilometers away, all the researchers in front of the screen fell completely silent, their eyes fixed on the screen.

After a long pause, a young researcher wearing glasses swallowed hard and broke the silence in a low voice: "This...this river embankment...could it also be something the government employees built themselves? To 'store fish' as ​​a food reserve?"

"Definitely!" Another senior researcher nodded emphatically, his tone utterly certain. "The intelligence of the 'iron rice bowl' tiger far surpasses that of an ordinary wild Siberian tiger; its interaction with Tang Li before was a testament to that."

"Given its intelligence, it's entirely possible that it came up with the idea of ​​using river dams to trap fish and store grain!"

At this moment, a female researcher suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, the name 'iron rice bowl' was definitely well-chosen!"

"They eat wherever they go and even know how to stock up on food in advance; they're practically the 'king of food' in the tiger world!"

"Hahaha..." Her words instantly ignited the atmosphere. The researchers, who had been silent, burst into laughter, watching Wang Yuyu's "mukbang" with great interest and discussing the precision and ingenuity of his fishing techniques.

Before long, Wang Yuyu had devoured all twelve plump fish.

A pile of fish bones and entrails were scattered on the snow. He lowered his head, rubbed his cheek in the snow beside him, wiped away the fish scales and oil stains left at the corner of his mouth, and then walked to the ice hole he had previously chiseled out. He lowered his head, drank the cold river water, and rinsed his mouth.
