Shi Wen and Yan Kexing need to stay here to take care of things, and lend a hand when ewes have difficult births; they also need to help when ewes are too weak to care for their lambs.

Shi Wen even specially prepared feed for the ewes after giving birth to help them recover their strength.

The two were busy at the livestock shed.

Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing, "I was thinking that since you both have free time, we could take a nice vacation together, but I didn't expect that a ewe would give birth."

Yan Kexing: "It's fine to take a vacation a few days later."

Shi Wen, "This atmosphere might not be there in a few days. I wanted to go up the mountain with you to cut down some climbing pines. If we cut them down now and piled them up in the stove to burn, it would definitely create a special atmosphere."

Yan Kexing: "Then let's wait until the New Year. We'll both take a week off during the New Year to relax properly."

Shi Wen, "Two weeks, I think. One week doesn't feel like enough."

Yan Kexing and said, "Okay."

Both of them were busy in the livestock shed, with the wind howling outside and the bleating of ewes and lambs inside.

The cows and horses nearby heard the commotion and made all sorts of noises.

These sounds together fill the senses of the Shi Wen.

He saw Yan Kexing suddenly stop laughing and talking, and when he listened carefully to the sound in the distance, he realized that there seemed to be a strange sound coming from the pasture.

Strangeness--

With such heavy snowfall, how could there be such a peculiar sound?

Shi Wen faint sounds coming from afar, but I was still a little uncertain.

He turned his head and looked around; the dogs were sitting quietly to his side, as if they hadn't heard a thing.

However, the dogs' hearing is indeed not as good as the two of them. As Abilities, the two of them have much more acute hearing when they want to hear something.

Shi Wen asked Yan Kexing, "What's outside?"

Yan Kexing stood up. "It seems the tigress and the others have come down the mountain."

Shi Wen, "Really? Why choose this time to go down the mountain? Is there not enough food on the mountain?"

At this Shi Wen seemed eager to hear sounds from afar.

His ears changed according to his will, slowly transforming into animal ears.

His animal ears have two layers, an inner and an outer layer, and when he turns them, he can hear outside sounds much more clearly.

He soon discovered that there was indeed the sound of a tiger roaring outside.

Based on the familiarity with the tiger's roar, he was certain that it was the sound of two tigers.

Shi Wen, "It really is them. Could they have encountered some difficulties on the mountain? I'll go out and check."

"You stay here and watch the ewes, I'm going out." Yan Kexing, then said, "I don't know how to deliver lambs."

Shi Wen remembered and said, "Okay, you go out and take a look. Call me if you need anything, I'll wait here."

Yan Kexing up, washed his hands, and quickly went outside to keep watch.

I often feel a bit distracted Shi Wen staying here to help the ewes give birth.

A moment later, Yan Kexing walked in from outside, covered in snow, followed by two large, striped tigers.

The moment the tiger walked in, all the creatures in the shed tensed up, tucked their tails between their legs, and made all sorts of threatening and fearful noises.

"Woof--"

"Meow!"

Woof woof!

"Hiss!"

It was Cong Zai recognized him first and lowered his guard.

One by one, the other little ones were taken care of, and only then did they slowly realize that the one who had come in was actually a seasoned tiger.

The dogs looked a little embarrassed, wagging their tails and licking their lips.

The four new puppies were at a loss, looking at one after another, their threatening little voices stuck in their throats, unsure whether to bark or not.

As Yan Kexing passed by, he patted the backs of the four puppies and whispered to them, "Don't be afraid, they're family."

Miao Wa tilted her head, looked at the tiger behind her, then turned and darted into the horse pen.

The other puppies followed Miao Wa's example and hid inside the stable.

Shi Wen said to the two tigers, "The ewe is giving birth, don't come over, don't frighten them."

The tigress roared in displeasure.

Yan Kexing said, "They brought gifts to visit us."

Shi Wen came out after washing her hands and asked, "What gift?"

Shi Wen went outside to take a look, he discovered that both tigers were carrying something in their mouths—it looked like the leg of some unknown animal.

Shi Wen had received gifts from tigers before, but this was the first time he had seen them bring back prey to visit. He felt a mix of emotions, like his own grown-up cubs had finally learned to be filial.

The two tigers carried the leg meat they were holding in their mouths to his feet.

Shi Wen quickly recognized that one of the legs was a deer's leg and the other was a goat's leg.

He couldn't help but say, "You can keep them for yourselves, why bring them all the way back for us?"

Yan Kexing, "They probably thought that with the snow, it would be more difficult for us to find food, so they specially brought back prey to share with us."

Shi Wen, "Is that so?"

"That's probably it." Yan Kexing patted the tigress's head. "Such heavy snow is a test for all animals. They brought their prey back specifically because they were afraid we wouldn't be able to hunt and would go hungry."

Whether the tigress understood him or not, she hissed at Shi Wen and roared.

Shi Wen felt a little guilty thinking that he hadn't been able to visit the two tigers much lately because he had been quite busy.

He patted the male tiger beside him. "How kind of you are? You even brought prey home in this heavy snow."

The male tiger rubbed its head against his hand obediently, just like a big cat.

Gradually, the little ones in the house became familiar with the two tigers and cautiously approached them.

The two tigers seemed to be aware of their own strength and cautiously retracted their claws, trying to play with their former companions.
