After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Xiao Yuheng looked at the figure disappearing in the cave and lowered his eyelids. Although he knew rationally that she was capable of protecting herself and would not be in danger, he could not hide his worry emotionally.

But he knew Xu Qingqing's personality. She just needed a solid backer, not someone stopping her from doing what she wanted under the pretext of doing it for her own good.

Xu Qingqing in the cave approached the tigress, trying to show kindness.

Seeing that the tigress did not react, he slowly squatted down and carefully observed the tigress's condition.

The tigress seemed to have reached her limit at this point, even the half-father of the fetus hanging outside seemed to have stopped moving.

Seeing the tigress becoming increasingly weak, Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth and placed her hands on the tigress's belly, pressing and stroking in the direction of the fetus's delivery.

The intense pain caused the tigress to roar, but she still tried hard to control herself and not move, to facilitate Xu Qingqing's movements.

After an unknown amount of time, the little tiger was finally born safely.

It was soaked all over, its eyes were not open yet, and its breathing was very weak. If it weren't for her internal strength, it would be almost inaudible.

Xu Qingqing looked at the tigress, then at the little tiger in her hand. The tigress seemed to sense something and tried hard to support her body and move towards the little tiger, her eyes full of sadness and pain.

Xu Qingqing took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Her mind quickly recalled the video of rescuing a kitten that she had seen on a video software in her previous life.

He quickly grabbed the tiger cub's neck and began to check whether there was any liquid in its nasal cavity. He shook the tiger cub with a little force.

Then she gently placed the little tiger on her lap and carefully lifted its head to ensure it could breathe freely.

Then, mimicking the movements from memory, he gently pressed the tiger cub's chest with both hands, trying to stimulate its breathing.

Once, twice, three times...

Xu Qingqing's movements became more and more skillful, and the tigress beside her stared at the little tiger on Xu Qingqing's legs.

Just when the light in the tigress's eyes was about to disappear and Xu Qingqing was about to give up, the little tiger suddenly let out a faint cry.

Although the sound was very small, for Xu Qingqing and the tigress, it was undoubtedly the most beautiful sound in the world.

Xu Qingqing continued to rescue the tiger until its breathing gradually became steady and strong. She gently stroked the tiger's head, feeling its weak vitality gradually recovering.

"Wake up, wake up!" Xu Qingqing shouted excitedly and put the little tiger next to the mother tiger.

The tigress almost burst into tears as she looked at the cub that was brought to her side.

Perhaps it was because the heavy stone in her heart was put down, at this moment, the tigress's condition suddenly worsened.

It was bleeding profusely and its life was in danger. Xu Qingqing hurriedly took out the first aid kit and tried to stop the bleeding, but no matter how hard she tried, blood continued to flow out of the tigress's wound.

The tigress's eyes began to become blurry. She used up her last bit of strength to lick the little tiger's fur, as if saying goodbye.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes and left this world forever.

Xu Qingqing watched this scene, and the joy she had just felt faded away, with an indescribable sadness welling up in her heart. Looking at the tigress who had closed her eyes forever, she stroked the tiger's head gently and said, "I will take good care of it!"

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you..." Her voice was filled with self-blame and helplessness, but also with awe and emotion for life.

Perhaps sensing the death of its mother tiger, the little tiger cried miserably beside its mother.

Xu Qingqing held the little tiger in her arms and stroked its head to comfort it.

After thinking about it, he took out a lot of firewood from the space and placed it deep in the cave. After all, it would be difficult to find dry firewood in such heavy rain.

Except for her, everyone was wet. If there was no firewood to light a fire to keep warm, no matter how healthy they were, they would get sick, and the little tiger would have a hard time surviving in such cold weather.

After the firewood was put away, Xu Qingqing shouted to the people outside: "Come in! It's okay!"

When Xiao Yuheng and his group walked into the cave, a strong smell of blood hit them in the face, making them frown.

They immediately looked around vigilantly and saw Xu Qingqing squatting on the ground with a dead tiger lying beside her legs. A large area around them was stained red with blood.

Xu Qingqing also had a lot of blood on her body. When Xiao Yuheng saw this, he felt nervous and quickly walked to Xu Qingqing and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Xu Qingqing raised her head, her face still a little sad, shook her head, and said softly: "I'm fine, this is all the blood from the tigress giving birth, it's not mine."

After hearing this, everyone noticed that Xu Qingqing was holding a little tiger in her arms.

Looking at this little life that lost its mother just after birth, everyone felt an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.

Xu Qingqing silently cleaned up the tigress's body, and Xiao Yuheng also came forward to help.

The rest of the people tried to find some usable firewood in the cave. Unexpectedly, they actually found a lot of hay, fallen leaves and dead branches.

Although the cave was simple, it could at least keep out the wind and rain. They built a fire, and the flames flickered in the cave, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort.

Seeing that everyone was still wearing wet clothes, Xu Qingqing hurriedly said, "Take off your clothes and dry them. Wet clothes can easily make you sick."

After saying that, she herself didn't feel anything, but Xiao Yuheng's face darkened.

The rest of the people looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to take off their clothes.

"Be careful between men and women." Xiao Yuheng saw Xu Qingqing's confused look and made a sound from his throat as if he was gritting his teeth.

"Oh oh!" Xu Qingqing suddenly realized and turned around: "I don't want to see it, you guys take it off!"

She held the little tiger tightly in her arms, using her body temperature to keep it warm. She gently stroked the little tiger's soft fur, her heart full of tenderness.

Xiao Yuheng looked at the little tiger in Xu Qingqing's arms and curled his lips secretly.

Seeing Xu Qingqing turn around, the group looked at Xiao Yuheng again. When they saw him nod, they began to take off their wet clothes and hang them by the fire.

The heat from the flame quickly dissipated the moisture on the clothes, and the clothes gradually became dry.

Looking at the jumping flames in the fire and the clothes gradually drying, everyone felt a sense of relief.

Take out the food from your luggage and start enjoying it.

Xu Qingqing looked at the pancake handed over and raised her hand to take it: "Thank you."

Xiao Yuheng curled up a smile and returned to the fire.

Xu Qingqing bit the pancake in her hand and looked at the little tiger in her arms.

He looked around, and while no one was paying attention, he took out a box of Shuhua milk from the space, put it into the bottle, and carefully fed it to the little tiger's mouth.

The little tiger seemed hesitant at first, sniffing around the nipple but not sucking right away.

Xu Qingqing pushed the pacifier forward again. The pacifier touched the little tiger's mouth and a little milk seeped out. The little tiger seemed to feel the fragrance of milk coming from the pacifier and suddenly began to suck hard.
