Chapter 32 - 32 Whose Childhood Hideout Is This
Chen Ying scanned the surroundings cautiously, only to inadvertently lock eyes with a pair of brown pupils.
His soul almost left his body.
Tiger, a live tiger!
The tiger didn't linger for long, glancing at Chen Ying before bounding into the jungle and disappearing without a trace.
Chen Ying almost recklessly chased after it, but luckily, his backpack strap tripped him, jolting him awake.
"Damn it, didn't get a shot!"
He pounded the ground angrily, almost wanting to howl in frustration.
This was the first time he'd seen a tiger in the wild with his own eyes. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse and he hadn't had time to analyze what species it was, he leaned towards believing it was a South China tiger deep down.
As he watched evidence that could prove the existence of wild South China tigers drift before his eyes, Chen Ying couldn't help but shed manly tears.
After wallowing in dejection for a few minutes, he rallied his spirits, intending to continue observing the little bear. But when he looked up, he saw the little bear, just two meters away, doing a head tilt that almost gave him a heart attack.
Could things stop startling him like this? He wasn't young anymore and couldn't handle such fluctuations in blood pressure.
His eyes drifted upwards, not seeing the little bear hanging from a branch. He confirmed that this was the same agile little critter that was good at escaping.
Chen Ying pulled out a bottle of milk that he'd been keeping warm against his body and placed it in front of the little bear.
He then retreated back into the tree hollow, trying his best not to let his scent touch the little bear.
In the wild, mothers often abandoned their babies if they carried foreign scents.
If the little bear was abandoned because of him, he feared he'd never be able to forgive himself.
As for the bottle of milk, it was produced by the system—it didn't matter how it was used, it wouldn't carry even a hint of scent.
Maybe drinking milk was an instinct for all young cubs.
The little bear picked up the bottle of milk, gave it a curious look, and then tentatively stuck it in its mouth. After sucking on it, its eyes widened, and it sat down to drink the milk with relish.
Chen Ying quietly let out a breath, curled up in the tree hole, and took out his phone to start filming.
He didn't edit the footage at all and sent it directly to the work group chat.
Little Deng and the others were making their way around and were getting close to Chen Ying's hiding spot. To avoid startling the little bear, they stopped and phoned Chen Ying.
"Brother Ying, is the little bear at your location right now? Should we go and
Three months later, her sister left without saying goodbye, and the territory fell into her hands.
Perhaps because this was her childhood home, Leopard Sister never brought her offspring here, choosing instead a den opposite this tree hollow, on the diagonal edge of her territory.
Standing in the woods, Leopard Sister felt a moment of distraction, not understanding why she suddenly recalled her childhood.
Having Chen Ying enter the tree hollow was welcomed, but why should that cub stay in her den? Didn't it have its own mother and its own den?
Leopard Sister, influenced by the memories, rushed over, and without a word, picked up the little bear by the scruff of its neck, intending to throw it out.
At this instant, the moment when Group Leader Li and Little Sen broke out in a cold sweat, the quick-reacting Chen Ying grabbed hold of Leopard Sister's head.
"Sis, calm down, listen to me!"
He forcefully extracted the frightened little bear from Leopard Sister's mouth and stuffed it into his spacious fieldwork jacket, his face pressed against Leopard Sister's furiously contorted face.
"Leopard Sister, what's wrong, why are you angry? Is it because I didn't find you in time?"
While speaking, he stroked Leopard Sister's tense back.
The rapid running and final impact were also a strain on Leopard Sister's body, which was still recovering from serious injury; she bore the shaking in her limbs and let out a roar at Chen Ying.
