Chapter 83: Crisis
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Suisui didn’t mention the entire process of her meeting Little White. After all, it was really a little strange and it wouldn’t be good if word spread.
Of course, the main reason was that Little White was a white tiger.
“At first, I didn’t know if I could raise it. I didn’t expect the little guy to be so energetic. Relying on meat soup, it actually slowly grew up.”
Lin Suisui had only reached out for a moment, but Little White had already squeezed into her arms through the gap in her arm. It narrowed its eyes and snored comfortably.
If she didn’t mention that it was a tiger, most people would only think that it was a larger cat.
“But it’s still a tiger!” After understanding Little White’s identity, although Fang Rui’er still felt that this little white tiger looked cute, she no longer had the courage to go forward.
“Yes, it’s still young. When it grows up…” Mrs. Luo thought of the rumors that tigers ate humans and looked at Little White in panic.
They looked close now, but tigers were wild and aggressive by nature.
If the tiger changed after it grew up…
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes! When it’s bigger, I’ll keep it if it wants to stay. If it doesn’t want to, I’ll find a forest to release it.”
Lin Suisui reached out and rubbed Little White’s furry head as she answered indifferently.
She had no intention of keeping Little White here to begin with. When it grew up, if it was willing to stay, she would definitely have a place for it to stay. However, if it wanted to leave, she would also want to choose a forest with Lu Ze and send it back to nature.
“Everything has a spirit. You saved its life. No matter what, it definitely won’t hurt you.” Fang Liu smiled as she bit the thread in her hand. Then, she looked up and reassured her mother-in-law, “Mom, don’t worry too much. Look, this little fellow seems so close to you now!
The reason it bared its teeth at Ah Rui just now was because it wasn’t familiar with her, right?!”
“That’s true. Even if it’s a kitten, it will brandish its claws when it encounters strangers.” Mrs. Luo Fang Liu was right. She nodded and smiled. “However, its fur looks different from that of ordinary tigers!”
“It’s probably still too young. When I saved it back then, it was smaller than my two palms combined! When it’s a little bigger, its fur might become darker.”
Lin Suisui smiled and simply brought the topic to an end.
After the initial shock, Fang Rui’er still couldn’t help but want to touch its smooth fur. However, no matter if she approached Little White carefully or tried to entice it with meat, she was rejected by Little White!
Sometimes, the more you couldn’t have something, the more you wanted it.
This saying applied everywhere. Fang Rui’er had been focused on Little White for the past two days. She didn’t even have the time to go out and play with her friends.
However, there was no progress. Little White still bared its teeth and ran away when it saw her. It didn’t want to be with her at all.
Fang Rui’er was very depressed. She took a half-withered foxtail and sat on a big rock not far from her tent.
“Rui’er, what’s wrong?!” The fourth daughter of the Zhu family, who was friends with Fang Rui’er, and a few other girls came over with baskets filled with wild vegetables. When they saw Fang Rui’er sitting on the rock in a daze, they couldn’t help but ask her curiously.
“Nothing.” Fang shook her head, clearly not wanting to say more.
“What’s wrong? Did your mother scold you again?! You haven’t been out with us for the past few days. Li Er even asked about you yesterday!” The Zhu family’s fourth daughter refused to give up. She climbed up the rock Fang Rui’er was sitting on in a few steps and continued to ask excitedly.
The group of girls also chimed in. They kept asking Fang Rui’er questions. It was as if they wouldn’t stop until she answered.
“I’m really fine. I was just thinking of a way!” Fang Rui’er was annoyed. She said impatiently, “You guys can’t help. Go back quickly!”
“Seriously, if there’s anything, just say it. There are so many of us, and there’s strength in numbers! Hurry up and tell us what trouble you’re in?!”
It would have been better if Fang Rui’er had not spoken. As soon as she did, these young ladies became even more curious and concerned. They pestered her even more.
Fang Rui’er finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and told them about seeing Little White at Lin Suisui’s place! Such a rare thing naturally fascinated the women.
“Wow, are you serious?! A real tiger? You’re not lying to us?!”
“That’s right, don’t tell me you’re mistaken?!”
The women’s eyes widened. After a series of exclamations of disbelief, they pushed their luck even more.
“Rui’er, show us!”
“That’s right. We’ve never seen what a tiger looks like. Is it any different from a cat?!”
“That’s a stupid question. How can a tiger be the same as a cat?!”
After the women finished arguing, Miss Zhu, who was beside Fang Rui’er, tugged at Fang Rui’er, who looked troubled and regretful. “Why don’t you bring us to take a look?! Otherwise, we won’t be able to give you any ideas!
“Can’t we just go over quietly and not alarm anyone?!”
Fang Rui’er actually regretted telling them about Little White immediately after, but since she had said it, the current situation wasn’t up to her to decide anymore.
Fang Rui’er, who was blushing, was pushed around for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and pushed away Miss Zhu, who was almost hanging onto her. She quickly slid down from the stone and squeezed through the crowd to run towards her tent. “Wait for me. I’ll ask my mother first!”
As she watched Fang Rui’er run away quickly, a trace of disappointment flashed across Miss Zhu’s face. However, she quickly composed herself and smiled awkwardly at the young ladies around her as she sighed and said, “Rui’er is always like this. Forget it. The next time we see her, we’ll beg her again!”
“What’s there to beg? Didn’t she say that the tiger was raised by Madam Liu?! It’s not like her family raised it. Can’t we just look for Madam Liu?!”
Before Miss Zhu could finish speaking, a young woman beside her interrupted her. She spoke rudely and matter-of-factly!
This matter-of-factness quickly infected the surrounding women. The group of little girls was at the age where they were fearless, so they rushed towards Lin Suisui’s place.
