“Bro, are these tiger cubs?”
“The news about Siberian tigers entering the village the other day, could it be these cubs?”
“Also, how did you teach them to herd pigs?”
Su Xiaoqiang followed Su Ze into the room, his questions pouring out.
Su Ze stopped and asked, “I wonder if the pig feed in the kitchen is ready.”
“You go check.”
“Oh, okay!”
Su Xiaoqiang immediately turned and headed for the kitchen.
Although he still had many questions about the tiger cubs, there was plenty of time. He had time to ask.
As long as his brother didn't kick him out.
Once Su Xiaoqiang left, Su Ze began to mix milk powder for Little Yellow and Little White.
Unlike before.
The tiger cubs today weren't as energetic.
They looked dejected.
As if they had been wronged.
Perhaps because they were still young.
Although Su Ze could understand their thoughts through the ring.
Even the cubs themselves couldn't say for sure what had upset them.
Su Ze decided to hold off on questioning them.
He fed them the milk first.
He would figure things out later.
The cubs were bullied soon after their mother left. That wouldn't do.
After about ten minutes.
The tiger cubs finished their milk.
Su Ze wiped the milk stains from their whiskers, then carried one in each arm.
“Xiaoqiang?”
“Su Xiaoqiang?”
“Where did you go?”
Su Ze walked towards the kitchen with a confused look.
He remembered telling Su Xiaoqiang to check the pig feed.
Why was he taking so long?
“Wuu... Bro...”
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Su Ze saw Su Xiaoqiang in a flustered state.
He had a pair of chopsticks he couldn't put down and food he hadn't finished chewing.
It clearly showed.
He was stealing food.
He swallowed the food in his mouth with a “glug.”
Su Xiaoqiang chuckled, “Bro, it smelled too good, I couldn't resist...”
Su Ze shook his head, “Don't steal food next time.”
“This stuff is very hot.”
“If you like it, I'll make you some next time.”
“The pigs eat clean, but the skin isn't peeled.”
Hearing that Su Ze wasn't blaming him, but was planning to make him some next time.
Su Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up immediately, he said, “Bro, you're the best!”
“Just let me do anything!”
“As long as there's this kind of pig food... no, this kind of corn porridge every day.”
Su Ze laughed softly, “You little rascal.”
“Come on, let's go feed the pigs.”
Su Ze said, bringing over two buckets.
He put Little Yellow and Little White aside, then he and Su Xiaoqiang picked up the buckets filled with pig food.
As Su Xiaoqiang walked past Little Yellow and Little White, his eyes sparkled, he stared at the two little guys non-stop.
He wanted to reach out and touch them, but he didn't dare.
“Play with them later.”
“Let's do our work first!”
Su Ze called out to Su Xiaoqiang, who was mesmerized by the two cubs.
“Coming, coming!”
......
“Swoosh!”
As an entire bucket of pig food was poured into the trough.
The eight wild pigs smelled the aroma and rushed forward, they started eating with a “humph humph” sound.
This time, Su Ze didn't leave after pouring the feed.
He stood by the pigpen for a while.
The tiger cubs were bullied while herding pigs.
Could there be any clues on these pigs?
Su Ze was simply trying. If he found it, great. If not, it was fine.
“Hey, bro!”
Su Xiaoqiang seemed to have noticed something and suddenly spoke.
“Bro, look, this sow, something doesn't seem right?”
As he spoke, Su Xiaoqiang pointed to the sow in the pigpen who was buried in her food.
Su Ze looked over.
This look, he really saw something wrong.
The feeding trough wasn't big, so the pigs were squeezed together.
But this sow, whenever she was touched near her hind legs, she would flinch.
It was obvious that she was injured.
“She must be injured!”
Su Ze immediately went into the pigpen.
Carefully avoiding the pigs who were eating.
Su Ze went to the sow and touched her hind legs.
“Oink!”
（Pain）
The sow squealed and took two steps back.
At the same time, the condition of her hind legs was fully exposed.
There was a wound.
It was about four inches long.
It seemed like the injury was some time ago. The blood had already scabbed over.
Looking at the wound, Su Ze frowned, “She's really injured!”
“Xiaoqiang, get the medicine box.”
“I'll treat her wound.”
Su Ze turned to Su Xiaoqiang and told him to get the medicine box.
Such a long gash.
It could have been caused by something sharp.
It needed to be treated to prevent infection.
Soon, Su Xiaoqiang brought the medicine box.
“Bro, here you go.”
Su Ze took the medicine box and took out the medicine, disinfecting and bandaging the sow’s wound.
After everything was done.
Su Ze left the pigpen with the medicine box.
The sow continued to return to the trough and eat.
“Bro.”
“That gash, it shouldn't be from an accidental scrape.”
“It seems like something sharp dragged across it.”
Su Xiaoqiang gave his guess.
Su Ze nodded upon hearing this.
“I think so too.”
“Although the forest I let the cubs go to isn’t particularly dangerous.”
“But there's no guarantee that large wild animals won’t appear.”
“You stay at home and plow the fields tomorrow, I’ll go to the mountain to check it out.”
Su Xiaoqiang nodded upon hearing Su Ze’s words.
It seemed like this was the only thing they could do.
If the situation in the forest was unclear.
These wild pigs definitely couldn’t be released into the mountain.
Otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
......
Early the next morning.
The tiger cubs, accompanied by Su Ze, took the wild pigs to the forest.
While Su Xiaoqiang, using the borrowed rotary tiller.
Began to cultivate the three hundred acres of land.
The large rotary tiller lived up to its name.
In the morning, he had plowed nearly thirty acres of land.
The three-meter-tall machine rumbled past, leaving behind cultivated land.
Not only was it fast, but it was also beautiful.
He had been plowing for a whole morning.
Although he hadn't exerted himself much, Su Xiaoqiang felt he needed to rest.
The rotary tiller needed to rest, he needed to rest too.
The sun was a bit strong now and the rotary tiller didn’t have air conditioning.
It was hot.
Returning home.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't see Su Ze.
“My brother hasn't come back yet.”
“Guess I’ll have to make something to eat.”
As he spoke, Su Xiaoqiang went to boil some water and make instant noodles.
“If my brother was here, I would be eating corn porridge now.”
“Slurp~”
Su Xiaoqiang stared at the instant noodles with the lid on, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, in the mountains.
Su Ze ‘slapped’ the lid of the instant noodle bowl shut.
He stood up suddenly.
His gaze drifted towards the distance.
There was movement!
