The children couldn't wait to take it, and their hands were so hot that they kept switching them back and forth. They blew on them and tossed the sweet potatoes from their left hand to their right hand.

Yueyue even held the sweet potato to her chest and tried to cool down with clothes.

When they took their first bite, the soft, glutinous, and sweet taste instantly spread in their mouths. The rich sweet taste made their faces bloom with satisfied smiles. Their eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of their mouths were covered with sweet potato residue. They mumbled incoherently: "It's so delicious! Roasted sweet potatoes are the most delicious food in the world!"

For a moment, the whole cave was filled with children's laughter.

Seeing that the children were eating, Su Panpan also took a roasted sweet potato and held it in her hand, and immediately felt the warmth in her hand.

When you smell it closely, a rich and sweet scent hits your nose.

Gently peel off the charred skin to reveal the golden potato flesh, which is steaming hot and full of sugary juice, making you salivate.

Take a bite, and the soft, sweet taste instantly spreads in your mouth. The delicate and dense potato flesh turns into a sweet liquid without chewing, sliding down your throat, bringing you a full sense of happiness and satisfaction.

After eating and drinking, I boiled some water and gave the children a simple wash.

They made a thick bed of hay, put a piece of cloth they brought on top, and covered it with an old quilt, and the children fell asleep quickly.

Su Panpan picked up a lot of branches nearby to block the entrance of the cave. Then she put on an old piece of clothes and held a thick stick in her hand. She leaned against the entrance of the cave, half asleep and half awake, not daring to sleep deeply.

Fortunately, this cave entrance is high above the ground and can be used as a good defensive area.

Qin Mu was also half asleep and half awake, ready to take precautions at any time.

Although he is young, he has been sensible since childhood because of his life experience. He knows that he is the eldest child and his father passed away early, so he should share more of the burden for his mother and take better care of his younger siblings.

In the second half of the night, the cave felt noticeably colder.

Outside the cave, the sound of the cold wind whistling through the treetops also makes people feel a little scared. The branches sway in the wind, making a creaking sound.

Suddenly, a low roar came from outside the cave.

Su Panpan was suddenly awakened, and Qin Mu also woke up. Qin Mu slowly moved to Su Panpan's side. Su Panpan turned around and gave him a hushing gesture.

As the second roar came, Su Panpan's heart instantly rose to her throat. The sound was getting closer and closer. Listening to the sound, was it a tiger?

At this time, the moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Only the pair of tiger eyes outside the cave, shining with faint light, were particularly creepy.

"Mom, what should we do?" Qin Mu asked nervously in a low voice.

"Don't act rashly."

Her mind raced. The terrain here was higher, and it would be difficult for the tiger to get up. There were some movable rocks in the cave, and tigers were afraid of fire.

Just as she was wondering if there was a suitable rope.

Suddenly, I looked into the tiger's eyes.

The pair of cold eyes were staring at her intently. It was a huge tiger!

Su Panpan's body froze instantly, a chill running down her spine. She gritted her teeth, her hands trembling slightly with nervousness.

The tiger showed a ferocious expression and let out an even more ferocious roar from its throat.

Su Panpan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

With the help of moonlight, all the movable stones in the cave were moved to the edge of the cave entrance.

"Qin Mu, did you take the cattle rope I found in the old shabby house?"

"Take it, mother, I'll go find it."

At this moment, the tiger suddenly jumped up and met Su Panpan face to face.

Su Panpan's heartbeat was like a drum, her breathing became rapid and disordered, every cell was trembling, and every nerve was screaming.

Her throat seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and she couldn't make a sound.

Then there was the sound of a tiger falling heavily to the ground, followed by the sound of a pile of rubble falling.

Su Panpan breathed in and out heavily, her heart almost exploding.

…………

Qin Mu didn't dare to light a fire to look for it, so he could only grope around. After searching for a few minutes, he couldn't find the cattle rope.

Qin Mu also became nervous, sweat beads on his forehead, his mind in a mess, but he forced himself to calm down. He continued to search while observing the situation on his mother's side.

He also saw the scene just now.

Fortunately, the rope was found at the bottom of the cloth bag.

Qin Mu quickly ran over and handed the rope to his mother, his chest heaving violently.

Su Panpan forced herself to calm down, pulled the rope to see if it was strong enough, and then tested the length of the rope.

Then she climbed up a tree outside the cave and tied one end of the rope to the largest tree trunk. She tied the other end into a slipknot with a loop in the middle.

Qin Mu immediately understood what his mother meant: Did she want to hang this tiger?

The tiger, having fallen and gotten up, was wandering under the tree, jumping from time to time and trying to pounce on her.

Its golden fur gleamed majestically in the moonlight, its sharp eyes and piercing teeth were faintly visible in its slightly open mouth.

"If the tiger jumps up again, you throw stones at it, and I'll do the same. After it jumps a few more times, it will run out of strength, and hanging it with a rope will be just a matter of luck. Mu'er, mother and you need to work together. We can definitely defeat it."

Su Panpan also encouraged herself.

Sweat dripped down her forehead like rain, and her back was soaked. But she didn't care anymore, she stared at the tiger under the moonlight.

Just as she finished speaking, the tiger took a few steps back, then with amazing explosive power, leaped up and pounced on her.

Just as the tiger was about to pounce, Qin Mu squatted down with lightning speed, picked up a huge stone without hesitation, and threw it at the tiger with all his strength.

The stone hit the tiger hard, but instead of making it retreat, it made it even more furious.

It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar like thunder. The roar echoed back and forth in the cave, which was terrifying and creepy to hear.

The tiger seemed to be completely enraged. It lowered its body, its muscles tensed like steel, its sharp claws scratched deep marks on the ground, its eyes flashed with ferocity, and it suddenly launched another leap attack.

This time, one of the tiger's front paws just touched the flat ground in front of the cave entrance.

Su Panpan and Qin Mu's hearts were beating so fast that they felt like they were about to burst out of their chests. Every breath felt like fire burning their lungs, and every movement felt like they were about to lose their balance.

"At this moment, hurry up, Qin Mu." Su Panpan gasped and quickly took the stick and put the rope on.

Just when the tiger's center of gravity had not yet stabilized, Qin Mu picked up another huge rock and smashed it mercilessly at the tiger's outstretched foot.

In a flash, Su Panpan, holding a stick, accurately put the loop of the rope's noose around the tiger's neck, and then quickly pulled the rope on the other side.
