When does your heart skip a beat?

It’s when you wake up to find an owl staring at you and drooling, and you can’t move!

Lin Chao was trembling with fear, and cried out weakly: "Brother, help me..."

Noticing that Lin Chao was awake, the owl sucked his saliva and said, "Sorry, you look so delicious."

Lin Chao: “…”

Where is Baihu? I remember Baihu came to find me before I fainted, how come he disappeared when I woke up?

Why did I see an owl when I woke up...

The owl cooed twice, and then began to explain to Lin Chao why he was here.

Lin Chao couldn't help but want to stand up, "He's gone?"

"Yes. The little tiger left you here to let you recover from your injuries." said the owl.

Lin Chao was helpless, "He is really..."

Every time she saved him she would leave without saying anything or asking for anything.

I really don't understand what this tiger is thinking.

"Mouse, what's your name?" the owl asked kindly.

"My name is Lin Chao."

The owl nodded and said, "My name is Ah San. I was the third child in the nest. You can call me Third Master."

Lin Chao: "...Hello, Third Master."

The owl spread its wings and stretched, then said, "It's time to eat. I'll go eat first, and you can sleep for a while."

"Ah? I..." Lin Chao wanted to say that he couldn't sleep, and...

He is very hungry too!

Can you please check on the patient's condition first?

Unfortunately, the owl was already out.

Lin Chao lay on the small bed of leaves and sighed silently.

......

The owl flew all the way to the entrance of the village, where the white tiger was waiting.

"What are we having for dinner today?" The owl looked behind the white tiger.

Baihu first asked, "Is he feeling better?"

Owl said, "Much better. I woke up today!"

Baihu hummed and turned away.

The owl saw the wild boar on the ground and cheered, "Wow, pork for today!"

When the owl returned to the thatched hut after eating and drinking, he saw Lin Chao with a pale face.

The owl looked surprised and said, "Oh, I forgot you need to eat too."

Lin Chao: “…”

No, you can forget this?

The owl transformed into a human form under Lin Chao's gaze.

The little old man hummed a strange tune and took out a few fruits from a frame of dry leaves.

Then he picked up a slightly yellow leaf and rolled it into a tube. He raised his other hand holding the fruit above the leaf and squeezed it hard.

The juice flowed through his fingers into the leaf tube.

The owl dropped the pulp into his mouth and chewed it.

Then he put the leaf tube in front of Lin Chao's mouth.

"Drink it," said the owl, and began to lick the juice from his fingers.

Lin Chao: “…”

Do animals have a concept of hygiene? If not, then the owl's hand...

Lin Chao looked at the "freshly squeezed juice" in front of him and was reluctant to take a sip.

The owl was puzzled: "Why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Chao made a bitter face, "Have you been feeding me like this these days?"

The owl said, "Yes! You are unconscious, so I can only feed you with juice."

Well, it seems that no matter whether it is clean or not, he has already drunk this "freshly squeezed juice" several times.

Lin Chao closed his eyes and drank the juice in one gulp.

"You'll be able to walk again in two days. Then you can go outside to bask in the sun, which will help you recover faster." The owl unfolded the leaf tube and put it back in place.

Lin Chao's eyelids twitched as he watched.

Isn't this leaf disposable?

"You can also experience the customs and culture of our Two-legged Village. Life here is very comfortable." said the Owl.

Lin Chao hummed softly, "Thank you. But I... I still prefer life in the forest."

"Understood. It all depends on your own wishes."

......

Three days later, Lin Chao tentatively walked out of the thatched hut.

A few children came running over, playing and fighting, and Lin Chao shrank back in fear.

When the children saw him, they ran over and surrounded Lin Chao.

"Are you the one who rescued the tiger?" asked a little girl.

Lin Chao met her curious big eyes and couldn't help but nodded.

A little boy clapped his hands and said, "The Tiger King of Yoyo Mountain is so great!"

Another little girl said, "Of course! Grandpa San said that the Tiger King will not harm us evolved beasts, but will protect us!"

As the little girl was talking, she suddenly touched Lin Chao's fur and said, "Your fur is so soft!"

As soon as the girl said this, several children stretched out their claws towards Lin Chao.

Lin Chao struggled to run out, and was picked up by the clapping little boy: "Would you like to play with us?"

As they spoke, several children surrounded Lin Chao and ran wildly on the road in the village.

Lin Chao: ...Why didn’t you even give me a chance to refuse!

Lin Chao was led by the children to run all the way, and he was amazed all the way.

This village is quite large, and it is filled with evolved beasts that have maintained their human form.

Some of the evolved beasts transformed their claws and dug the ground in front of the house, while others were walking slowly with a few pheasants tied with vine ropes. When they saw Lin Chao and the others, they greeted them enthusiastically.

There are many houses in the village. Some of them are built properly, while others are built in strange shapes.

There was even a house that had collapsed. When Lin Chao thought that no one lived there, a man struggled out of the thatched hut.

The man raised his rabbit ears, showing his white teeth, and said to Lin Chao and the others, "Hey, little guys, come to my house and sit for a while?"

No buddy, how are you going to sit here if you have lost your home?

"Okay, okay!" The little guys swarmed over and crawled into the hole that the man had just crawled out of.

Lin Chao: “…”

The rabbit's home is underground, and it has dug a very spacious hole.

Lin Chao couldn't help but complain in his heart, since you have dug a hole, why build the house?

The rabbit took out a bunch of fresh grass and put it on the ground. "You're welcome. I still have..."

Before he could finish his words, the boys had already grabbed all the grass.

One of them held a handful of grass in his mouth and chewed it with relish.

One of the children didn't want to eat the grass, so he stretched the grass in front of Lin Chao and said, "Brother Lin Chao, come and eat the grass. Open your mouth. Ah——"

Lin Chao: “…”

By the time Lin Chao returned to Owl Asan's thatched cottage, he had already been tortured to the point of exhaustion by these cubs.

Ah San was picking his feet inside. When he saw Lin Chao coming back, he immediately sat up and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Lin Chao, who had already seen him picking his feet, immediately said, "Eat it, eat it!"

Don't use your hands to make freshly squeezed juice anymore!

Ah San actually showed a look of regret on his face, "Okay, I found a few more kinds of fruits today, I think it will taste good if we mix them together..."

Lin Chao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I can find food by myself. Besides, the children in the village are very enthusiastic and found a lot of food for me."

“Okay, then I’ll make it and try it myself later.” Ah San said.

Then, he continued to pick his feet in front of Lin Chao: "Xiao Chao, our village is great, isn't it? After taking a walk around today, do you want to stay and live here?"

Lin Chao was silent for a while and shook his head.

Ah San frowned slowly. "The village is safe, and most of the animals are herbivorous. Even if there are carnivorous animals, they go to the hills behind the village to catch ordinary animals to eat. They won't hurt the villagers."

Lin Chao still shook his head: "The village is very good, very good. I can see that everyone is very happy. It is very warm and safe here."

"But Third Master, I don't want to stay in the village. I want to go outside and follow the Tiger King." Lin Chao said seriously.

Ah San was happy, "Although the little tiger saved you, he may not let you follow him. You might as well come to our village instead of looking for him to protect you."

Lin Chao looked a little depressed: "I will find a way to make him agree."

Ah San looked at Lin Chao and rolled his eyes. "Then go ask him. He has been bringing me food at the entrance of the village every morning these days. You can get up early and wait for him there."
