Chapter 156 The Use of the Little Tiger
Soon, the aroma of the meat spread like invisible threads, filling everyone's nostrils. Gu Liuli skillfully sprinkled salt, pepper, and cumin powder on the meat, each movement exuding confidence and composure. As the seasonings were added, the fragrance grew even richer, making everyone's mouths water.
"Wow, it smells so good! Mommy, it smells amazing!" Xiao Nanyao couldn't help but exclaim.
Xiao Nanyi chimed in from the side, "Mommy, when can we eat? I'm starving!"
Gu Liuli smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, until the meat is roasted to a golden brown and crispy, tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside, then you can eat it. I promise you'll enjoy it."
At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan was also attracted by the tempting aroma. He walked to the grill, took a deep breath, and wrinkled his nose: "It smells so good! I didn't know you had this skill. It seems everyone is in for a treat today."
Gu Liuli smiled smugly: "This is my secret weapon. I usually can't bear to use it. Today, since we're in the mountains, I'll let everyone taste my cooking."
As time passed, the meat skewers gradually turned golden brown under the heat of the flames, and the oil dripped onto the fire, making a crackling sound, like a cheerful culinary song.
Gu Liuli carefully sprinkled some more seasoning, then handed the grilled meat skewers to Xiao Nanyao and Xiao Nanyi: "Try them, how do they taste?"
Xiao Nanyao couldn't wait to take a bite. The tender meat juices burst in her mouth, and the seasoning was just right, bringing out the best in the meat.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and a satisfied smile spread across her face: "Wow, it's so delicious! Mom, you grilled it so well! This is the best roast meat I've ever eaten!"
Little Nan Yi also wolfed down his food, mumbling between bites, "Delicious, so delicious! Mother, I want more!"
Xiao Jingchuan also took a skewer, tasted it, and praised it highly: "I never expected that this ordinary wild game would become so delicious after you made it. It seems that our meals will be much better from now on."
Seeing everyone enjoying their meal filled Gu Liuli with a sense of accomplishment and happiness.
She distributed the grilled meat skewers to the guards, and they all sat together, enjoying this sumptuous outdoor feast. Two tiger cubs were also happily eating their share of food nearby, their tails wagging like rattles.
A young guard spoke first, his face beaming with delight: "Wow, I never expected these two little tigers to be so powerful! To have such skills at such a young age, they will surely become the kings of the mountains and forests in the future!"
As he spoke, he squatted down and carefully reached out to stroke the little tiger's head, his eyes full of affection.
Another older guard nodded slightly, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Yes, they cooperated so well, one on the left and one on the right, forcing the rabbit into a corner. Such hunting skills are not something that ordinary small animals can possess."
His voice was steady and powerful, as if he were recounting a thrilling battle.
"I usually just think they're cute, but I never expected them to be so reliable in a critical moment!" one of the guards said with a smile.
His expression was relaxed and cheerful. "With them around, our food supply might be more secure in the future!"
His words carried a hint of humor, but also revealed his recognition of the little tiger's abilities.
"That's right, that's right. If it weren't for these two little tigers today, we don't know how much effort we would have had to put in to catch this rabbit."
Another guard chimed in, his eyes gleaming. "They're truly our little lucky stars!"
His eyes were filled with gratitude, as if the two tiger cubs had done something extraordinary.
"And look, they listen to Xiao Nanyao and Xiao Nanyi so well. They are so intelligent and human-like. It's really rare."
Watching Xiao Nanyao and Xiao Nanyi interact affectionately with the tiger cub, a guard couldn't help but remark, "These two little ones are quite impressive; they've trained the tiger cub so well!"
His gaze held both praise for the little tiger and admiration for Xiao Nanyao and Xiao Nanyi.
"From now on, with these two little tigers accompanying Xiao Nanyao and Xiao Nanyi, we can feel more at ease."
"They are not only good helpers in hunting, but also good companions for children," a guard said with a smile, a hint of warmth in his eyes.
The guards chimed in with praise, and the two little tigers seemed to sense everyone's affection and appreciation.
They held their little heads high, their tails held high, and made low purring sounds in their throats, looking extremely proud.
Xiao Nanyao and Xiao Nanyi listened to the guards' praise, their faces beaming with pride. They hugged the little tiger tightly, their hearts filled with joy and satisfaction.
Night fell as dark as ink, quietly enveloping the mountains and forests. All was silent except for the occasional chirping of insects and the babbling of a distant river, which added a touch of life to the tranquil night.
Xiao Jingchuan and his group set up camp in a clearing in the mountains. After a day of running around and searching for food, everyone had fallen asleep.
Xiao Nanyao and Xiao Nanyi lay on the soft bedding, their breathing even and gentle, their faces still bearing the excitement and fatigue of the day.
The two tiger cubs beside them, who had been lying quietly on the ground with their eyes half-closed, seemed to have also entered a light sleep.
However, under the cover of night, the two tiger cubs suddenly opened their eyes. Their eyes gleamed with an eerie light in the darkness, appearing exceptionally sharp and alert.
One of the tiger cubs stood up gently, shook its fur, and then touched the other tiger cub with its nose.
The other tiger cub immediately understood and stood up as well. They silently walked out of the camp. The tiger cubs moved lightly and steadily, like black ghosts darting through the trees.
At this moment, moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The tiger cubs moved about in the shadows, their ears perked up, vigilantly observing their surroundings. Their noses sniffed incessantly, trying to catch the scent of their prey.
Suddenly, a tiger cub stopped, its nose twitching as it sniffed the ground, its eyes fixed on a patch of bushes ahead.
The other tiger cub also sensed something was wrong and quietly approached. Their bodies were close to the ground as they slowly moved towards the bushes.
Two little rabbits were resting quietly in the bushes, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
The tiger cubs' eyes lit up. They exchanged a glance, then slowly approached the rabbit, forming a flanking maneuver.
