Chapter 135 An Unexpected Act of Kindness
She scratched her head and laughed awkwardly, "Haha... well, I was just taking a walk."
You know me perfectly well; I never watch where I'm going.
What is this place? This is the location of the tiger cave they discovered before!
That's also where they caught the black bear and sold it for four hundred and fifty taels of silver!
She clenched her fist and added, "Sis, it's okay, she's just a tigress, I can take her down with a few punches."
Look how capable you think you are...
Lin Chunyi ignored her boastful words, turned around and walked back, "We didn't come here specifically to fight this, we're not prepared at all. Let's go back."
They had been here once, but never walked this way again, and neither of them had any memory of the place.
I never imagined I'd end up here today, all by accident.
Seeing that her younger sister was still not moving and was craning her neck to look into the tiger's den, Lin Chunyi asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"No, no, why would I go into the cave? To deliver meat? I'm just a little curious if that big tiger is still alive." She shook her head.
For the first and only time, they let a ferocious beast worth five or six hundred taels of silver go.
I wonder how the tigress and her cubs are doing. I really want to see them...
Lin Chunyi pulled her sleeve and walked back, saying, "Alright, let's go. Stop looking, it's time to go home."
The two walked back along the tall bushes, entered a grove of trees, and passed a wet meadow.
They didn't stop and continued walking back...
"rustle"
"rustle"
Something was rubbing against the grass with varying force, and the sound was getting closer and closer to them.
The two stopped and turned to look.
The branches and leaves in the bushes about two hundred meters away were shaking violently.
Something was moving quickly through the bushes, getting closer to them!
They really didn't intend to cause any trouble today, but they didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to bring them meat.
Lin Chunyi hoisted the basket up her back, then pulled her younger sister along, and the two of them climbed up a big tree.
Lin Lanshan placed the bow upright beside her, one foot dangling in the air, the other foot resting on a thick tree branch, and then sat down.
Her eyes followed the swaying grass intently. "Let me see what good stuff has come," she said, her voice full of excitement and anticipation.
"Can't you sit still? If something comes and hits the tree, you'll definitely fall."
"Shh~ Don't talk, it's coming!" Lin Lanshan had already seen the yellow fur, which was faintly visible in the grass.
Lin Chunyi shut her mouth and ignored her, focusing her attention on the bushes in front of her.
“歘”
It came out; it was a two-meter-long tiger, yellow and black, with a long scar on its left eye.
As expected, this is the same one they released before.
Lin Lanshan couldn't help but whisper, "This little tiger, wow, it's kind of cute!"
After the one-eyed tiger came out, a small tiger, slightly larger than a large cat, ran out right after it!
"Roar!" It followed the big tiger around in circles, howling.
It has a fluffy little head, big round eyes, and a coat of light yellow and light black fur. Even its cries are babyish!
The two sisters clenched their fists and rubbed their fingers together in their palms, feeling an itch in their hands... Wow! I really want to pet a cat!
Lin Chunyi was also a little excited. "This little cub, is it the one that the big tiger was pregnant with a few months ago? It's grown so big!"
Hehe, if it weren't for those two, we might not even have this adorable little guy.
"Sis, what is the big tiger looking for? Could it be looking for us?"
The one-eyed tigress had a dark object in her mouth, as if searching for something. She circled the area but couldn't find the person she was looking for.
The two sisters were still whispering to each other in the tree.
Its ears suddenly twitched, and then it raised its head and saw them.
"Roar~" The big tiger put the thing in its mouth on the ground and then roared at them.
Lin Lanshan said in surprise, "It really came looking for us? It still remembers us?"
Lin Chunyi said uncertainly, "Lanshan, what it put on the ground, that should be a Ganoderma lucidum, right... that is a Ganoderma lucidum!"
The pale reddish-brown object resembled a small, open umbrella, slightly larger than the palm of your hand.
The tiger cub followed its mother's gaze and naturally noticed the two strangers.
"Awoo...woo!" It bared its sharp teeth and roared at them, what it thought was its fiercest howl.
"Slap!" He had barely shouted when he was slapped on the head.
Its mother patted it down to the ground, and it let out a pitiful meow: "Meow~ Meow~"
Lin Lanshan laid the bow and arrows flat in her arms and said with interest, "This little tiger is quite cute even when it's getting hit, hahaha..."
No, no, that's not the point! Sis, this big tiger really is coming for us.
Does this mean it wants to repay a debt of gratitude by giving us this Ganoderma lucidum?
A life-saving grace? No, it should be the grace of not killing me! The tigers in the deep mountains are so clever, they're practically demons!
Lin Chunyi joked, "What's so strange about it? Now that the country has been established and the rule against supernatural beings has been abolished, it might actually have developed sentience."
He became more serious and said, "These deep mountains and forests are full of spiritual energy. They're perfect places for cultivation; people can live several years longer if they stay here long enough..."
Not to mention, these beasts have been born here; over time, they're bound to be smarter than those outside—that's quite normal.
She slapped her own child, and the tiger on the ground, just like it had done months ago when it thanked them, lay prostrate.
Seeing that they were just sitting in the tree staring at it without any reaction, it got up, called out to them, and then lowered its head.
Then it picked up its cub and went back through the grass it had come from.
The two waited until the rustling in the bushes had disappeared into the distance, and they could see and hear nothing, before jumping down from the tree.
Time then shifts back to Lin Lanshan squatting on the ground, looking at the small reddish-brown umbrella...
"It really is Ganoderma lucidum! This is the first time I've ever seen real Ganoderma lucidum. So this is what it looks like."
"Sister, how much is such a big one worth?" Lin Lanshan stretched out her palm and compared it to the Ganoderma lucidum. The umbrella-shaped flower was even bigger than her palm!
Lin Chunyi curiously touched it before putting it into her spatial storage, and sighed:
"Judging by its size, it definitely won't be cheap. I never expected this trip would be so worthwhile!"
"That's because I said I was going hunting today, and that's how I got this sum of money for free. Hmph, I knew it, I must be a lucky star!" Lin Lanshan propped herself up on her thighs, stood up, and proudly raised her head.
"This time it's become 'Crossing the Famine Years: A Little Lucky Star Falls from the Sky' again? You're really something. You've only been accurate a few times for the good things, but you've been accurate for the bad things countless times."
"How dare you call yourself Little Lucky Star... Go back now, are you still having beggar's chicken today?"
