Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 476 Who doesn’t want to raise a little tiger!
"Squad leader, are you cold?"

Li Dabao's somewhat muffled voice came from under the thick cotton mask.

The thick snow made it difficult to walk.

Fortunately, he is no longer the Li Dabao of the past, otherwise, he really would not be able to keep up.

Even so, the Siberian tiger leading the way in front would stop from time to time to wait for them.

"not cold!"

Xu Ye shook his head.

The full set of winter cold-proof equipment specially approved by the team leader when we came here is very powerful, but a bit bulky.

"What? Are you cold?"

"That's impossible. I was born and raised in Northeast China. How could I be afraid of the cold?" Li Dabao quickly denied it.

"That's right, squad leader, we've been walking for almost half an hour. Do we want to go deeper?"

The Northeast region has been formally developed for one or two hundred years since the people of Northeast China went to the Northeast.

However, the Northeast is vast, mountainous and forested, and many areas remain undeveloped.

After more than half an hour of walking, if we go any further, we will enter the deep mountains and forests.

All these legends forced Li Dabao to be cautious.

The squad leader is very capable, but after all, he has no experience in such extremely cold regions.

"Should be here soon!"

Understanding his concerns, Xu Ye shook his head and pointed to a place not far away.

His keen hearing allowed him to hear something different from the howling cold wind.

As for Li Dabao's concern that Xu Ye had no experience in cold regions, in fact, Xu Ye did not lack relevant experience.

Not in this life, but yes in the last life!
In Ermao's place, the winter is not much warmer than in Northeast China.

Especially since the war destroyed too much infrastructure, and on the battlefield, the situation was much worse than it is now.

Moreover, Xu Ye at that time did not have the strong strength and physique he has now.

Therefore, this bit of severe cold is nothing to Xu Ye now.

"Oh!"

Li Dabao didn't say anything.

As long as you are not afraid of the cold, with the tiger in front, most of the danger in the old forest is eliminated.

"Watch your step and follow my steps!" Xu Ye reminded again.

It is certainly beautiful when everything is covered with white snow.

However, it also covers up most of the dangers.

Didn’t you see that even the wild Siberian tiger, which is very sensitive to danger, stepped into the trap?
"understand!"

Li Dabao responded.

Following in the squad leader's footsteps is not only safer, but also saves effort.

After walking for another ten minutes in the snowstorm, the Siberian tiger leading the way finally stopped.

Xu Ye had good eyesight and noticed a slight movement under a big tree.

"There is a situation!"

Xu Ye reminded.

The howling cold wind quickly blew away his voice.

Fortunately, Li Dabao saw the gesture Xu Ye made, nodded to show that he understood, and squeezed the engineer shovel in his hand tightly.

"Roar!"

Da Huniu's somewhat impatient voice came over, as if urging Xu Ye to hurry up.

This made Xu Ye feel helpless, after all, he didn't have four legs.

Besides, safety first!

He doesn't have a single ounce of saintly heart. Compared to the lives of Da Hu Niu or other animals, Xu Ye values ​​their own safety more.

As the distance got closer, Xu Ye finally saw clearly through the snowflakes and the thing that made the noise under the big tree.

Just as Xu Ye guessed just now, it was a half-grown tiger cub.

"Little Tiger?"

Li Dabao, who was following closely behind Xu Ye, exclaimed.

"Still two!"

"Yes, two!" Xu Ye nodded.

The tiger's estrus period is generally from November to February, and the gestation period is 11 days.

Therefore, tigers are generally born in May and June.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two little tigers should be a little over half a year old and weigh about fifty or sixty kilograms.

Dogs weighing fifty or sixty kilograms are considered large dogs.

But, a tiger weighing fifty or sixty kilograms is really just a baby!
Generally speaking, the little tiger will live with Mother Hu for two or three years, and then will be kicked out of the house by Mother Hu.

"However, one of them looks a little bad!" Xu Ye added.

He knew that this Hu Niu had definitely not invited him to a meal to express her gratitude when she dragged him here.
Sure enough, it was right to let Li Dabao bring the medical kit.

After a pause, he said with some emotion: "This big tiger girl is very spiritual!"

"I think you, squad leader, are more capable!" But Li Dabao didn't think so.

In his opinion, this big tiger and big tiger girl were much dumber than Xiaotian. He had never seen such smart animals.

"You boy!"

Xu Ye smiled, and the frost on his eyebrows fell down.

What Li Dabao said was right, this big tiger girl was somewhat spiritual, but what was more important was her expert animal training skills and powerful strength.

Otherwise, it would be useless to replace anyone.

I can only say that this big tiger girl is very lucky.

"Let's hurry up!" Xu Ye said as he quickened his pace.

There are so few wild Siberian tigers. If you see one, it’s fate. Save it if you can.

Amid Da Hu Niu's repeated urging, it took Xu Ye and the other man another five minutes to get to Da Hu Niu.

He slapped away a little tiger that was pouncing on Xu Ye with his paw, and then used his head to push Xu Ye towards a little tiger lying on the ground nearby.

The little tiger that was slapped away by its mother tiger became obedient at this moment. It followed its mother and looked at the two people covered by snow with some curiosity.

"Sergeant, this looks like it was fired by a homemade cannon?" Li Dabao reminded.

"Alas, poachers!"

Nodding, Xu Ye sighed.

The so-called homemade cannon is a homemade gunpowder gun filled with iron sand. It has a short range but great power. It can sweep a large area and mainly attacks a range.

"Yes! Poachers!" Li Dabao echoed.

This situation was even more rampant in previous years!
After all, a tiger is worth too much.

No matter whether it is tiger skin, tiger bones, or tiger whip, each one is of great value!

"The conditions here are not good!"

Soon, Xu Ye quickly checked it and sighed again.

Of course, it is not impossible to try to save the patient, but it is hard to say whether the patient can survive in the end.

Especially in the current harsh environment, the possibility is even smaller.

"Sergeant, let's give it a try!" Li Dabao suggested.

Li Dabao knows that not every little tiger can grow up successfully!

Otherwise, even if human activities invaded the habitat of the Siberian tiger, the tiger would not be on the verge of extinction.

Even though a Siberian tiger can give birth to 2-4 cubs per litter, it is likely that not even one of them will eventually grow up.

So, although Li Dabao felt a little pity for the dying little tiger, that was all he could do.

"no!"

Xu Ye took out a cloak from his backpack and wrapped the little tiger lying on the ground.

"Sergeant, you don't want to take him away, do you?" Li Dabao asked in surprise.

I want to take the little tiger away. Will the big tiger agree?

"What else?" Now that he's here, Xu Ye can't really just leave him there, right?

The journey we just took wasted!

"But, squad leader, will this big tiger girl agree to let us take it away?"

As he spoke, Li Dabao glanced nervously at Da Hu Niu standing beside him.

Li Dabao even saw a puzzled expression on its big face.

My goodness, this guy has eaten Xiaotian's dog food, is his IQ also on par with Xiaotian's?
"Let's try it!"

Xu Ye remained noncommittal. "As you said, we should try our best to save the situation!"

After saying that, Xu Ye stood up and walked to Da Huniu's side. He squatted down, hugged her big head and whispered softly.

Seeing this, not only Li Dabao was curious, but the little tiger next to him was also very curious and kept sticking to his mother.

However, Da Hu Niu directly pulled it apart with her claws, and ran to the side and hid with a sense of grievance.

Soon, Xu Ye stood up, patted Da Hu Niu's head, looked at Li Dabao and said, "Done!"

"Brilliant!"

Li Dabao praised sincerely.

As expected of the squad leader, he is not only good at convincing people, but also good at convincing tigers!

"Basic exercises, don't be stupid!"

Xu Ye smiled slightly.

At this time, Big Tiger Girl walked up to the little tiger wrapped in a cloak, rubbed her big head on the unconscious child, and made a low whimpering sound.

Instinct told it that the child could only survive if he followed Xu Ye.

"Come, eat!"

Xu Ye took the backpack, pretended to take out a bag of dog food from it, and greeted the two tigers.

Soon, a bag of dog food weighing more than two kilograms was eaten up by two tigers, one big and one small.

Especially the little tiger, who was still not satisfied after eating and continued to act coquettishly towards Xu Ye, without any trace of the arrogance he had just had.

However, Xu Ye did not give him any more.

It’s not that I feel sorry for the loss of the credits, but Li Dabao is right next to me, and even if he has a backpack to cover it up, I can’t go too far.

"Sergeant, let me carry it!" Li Dabao said first.

The little tiger weighing fifty or sixty kilograms is not light as a feather for Li Dabao, but it is much lighter than the weight he carries during normal training.

"also!"

Xu Ye didn't refuse either.

After all, this is the old forest, and he must be prepared to deal with any emergency at any time.

"Roar!"

When Li Dabao carried the little tiger on his back and the two were ready to leave, Da Hu Niu roared and took the lead to lead the way, and the little tiger also followed Xu Ye.

Well, this has to depend on Xu Ye!
At this, Xu Ye sighed in his heart.

Who doesn't want to have a tiger as a pet?

However, there was a reason for taking the injured little tiger away, but Xu Ye didn’t dare to take the unharmed little tiger away.

It is a national first-class protected animal, and that is not just a casual statement.

"Let's go!"

Xu Ye signaled Li Dabao to catch up quickly, and he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Fortunately, judging from the injuries, the little tiger had been shot two days ago.

Otherwise, Xu Ye really wanted to find the criminal.

As long as the criminals are not eliminated, there is no telling how many wild animals will fall into their hands.

Hunting is normal, but the premise is that it does not violate the country's laws and regulations.

This reminded Xu Ye of a movie he had watched in his previous life, which was adapted from real life - "Kekexili"!
It tells the story of poaching of wild animals - Tibetan antelopes, and the forest patrol team fighting against poachers.

Poachers not only hunt wild animals, but also kill people!
Whether it is the vast plateau areas or the deep mountains and forests of the northeast, the disappearance of a few people will not cause any ripples at all, and all traces will soon disappear in the power of nature.

Therefore, the poacher who dares to shoot at the Siberian tiger may have killed someone.

With the escort of two Siberian tigers, one big and one small, the journey back was smooth.

"Let's go back!"

When they were still a few minutes away from the highway, Xu Ye gave an instruction to Da Huniu.

"Ouch!"

Looking at the child on Li Dabao's back with some reluctance, Da Hu Niu growled.

Then, she was attracted by the dog food that suddenly appeared in Xu Ye's hand again. She immediately rolled her tongue and licked it carefully from Xu Ye's hand.

Cats have barbs on their tongues, but they can retract and extend them freely.

Otherwise, Xu Ye wouldn't dare to feed him like this.

You know, when an adult tiger licks ice with its tongue, it can directly lick out ice foam.

The little tiger smelled the food and came over, and Xu Ye fed it a small handful.

After we say goodbye today, it will probably be difficult for us to meet again.

Just feed it!

I have to say, this dog food is very attractive.

It’s almost like pots of milk to giant pandas. With pots of milk, why would they need kids?

With dog food to eat, who would remember the tiger cub on Li Dabao?

Didn’t you see that little tiger? If it hadn’t been pressed to the snow by the big tiger girl’s claw, it would still be thinking of following Xu Ye!
"Squad leader, where is our car?"

When Li Dabao carried the tiger cub onto the road, he exclaimed.

No way!
At this hour, there are still people who dare to steal military vehicles!

"Keep going forward, this is not where we just went in!"

Xu Ye observed it carefully and pointed forward.

At this moment, the heavy snow was still falling, covering everything in the world.

In addition, the visibility was very low, so it was normal for Li Dabao to mistakenly go to the wrong place.

"Uh!"

Li Dabao said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Captain, you don't want to keep this little tiger, do you?"

Perhaps in order to divert the embarrassment, Li Dabao deliberately changed the subject.

At this moment, the original ruts on the road have been covered by thick snow.

Otherwise, Li Dabao would fall on his butt if he kept talking while walking!
"Let's save him first!"

Xu Ye said without comment.

Nonsense, who wouldn’t want to raise such a cute little tiger?

Not to mention, for Xu Ye, raising a little tiger can provide him with a steady supply of liver coupons.

Unfortunately, Xu Ye was just thinking about it.

If the Langya base was not in the southwest but in the northeast, then we could still give it a try.

Not to mention raising it all the time, but it’s okay to raise it for a while.

"Too!"

Li Dabao stopped talking.

If Li Dabao hadn't felt the softness of the little creature on his back, he would have thought that he was dead.

As they were talking, they came to where they had parked their car.

It took just over an hour to go back and forth, and the car was already covered with thick snow.

It was because Xu Ye had sharp eyes, otherwise he would have to get closer to see it.

"Don't worry about not being able to start the car!" Li Dabao said worriedly.

"It shouldn't be that serious!" Xu Ye shook his head slightly, "Otherwise, they will be embarrassed all over the southwest!"

"Haha, indeed!" Li Dabao laughed.
