Chapter 3: The Tiger's Son Escapes from the Pig's Mouth

  I want to live!

  Since entering the deep mountains, Huang Zhongxing fled for his life like a fugitive. In his previous life, he had only seen ferocious beasts in zoos, and there were only a few of them. However, in the deep mountains at the end of the Han Dynasty, they were as common as food on the table, and it was not surprising to encounter several times a day. As for survival skills in the wild, Huang Zhongxing, who came from the Dragon Group in his previous life, would naturally not be defeated. In his previous life, he could at least survive under the paws of tigers and leopards, if not fight them off. Now... looking at his two-year-old body, Huang Zhongxing often couldn't help but sigh. Not to mention that he was now starving and emaciated, even if his body were in its prime, what could he do? After all, this was a child's physique, with small arms and legs, what could they accomplish?

  Countless times of midnight reverie, waking up in fright, escaping from the jaws of wolves, and having cold sweats all over after the event. Sometimes he even doubted how he managed to escape time and again, perhaps it was thanks to his past life experiences.

  Time and time again, he narrowly escaped death, his small and frail body becoming increasingly resilient. Tender leaves and various types of fungi became his staple food, after all, his childish body couldn't digest the hard tree bark, during the most difficult times, he even ate soil to fill his hunger, sometimes Huang Zhongxing would doubt whether he was still human or not, probably not even a dog raised by a wealthy family could live better than him.

  The body will eventually have a good time, driving the two-year-old body, with the help of a sharp wooden stick to dig a simple trap, if lucky, may hunt a small animal such as a rabbit, and only then can improve life. The weak body is too weak, even drilling wood for fire has become a fantasy, under the helpless situation, drinking blood and eating raw meat, swallowing mouthfuls of bloody flesh.

  Ancient people were probably just like this too!

  "Psst... psst..."

  The quiet mountain forest suddenly echoed with a faint, urgent sound of footsteps on the dry branches and leaves. The sound grew louder, "Hoot!" A small figure emerged from the depths of the forest at an age-incongruous speed, running swiftly. Under the moonlight, it was none other than Huang Zhongxing, who in this life was called Huang Xiao.

  All he saw was his desperate running, and not far behind, a ferocious wild boar was chasing after him, its long tusks gleaming coldly in the moonlight, its small eyes emitting a bloodthirsty glow.

  It was night, and Huang Xiao did the same as usual, finding a dense thicket to sleep in. He closed his eyes and entered dreamland. He didn't know how long had passed when he was suddenly awakened by a humming noise. His good training from past lives allowed him to remain vigilant even while sleeping, although he was no longer a martial arts expert.

  Wild boar! Huang Xiang let out a low cry in his heart, his whole body suddenly tense, and he quickly got up. Having lived in the mountains for two months, relying on the sounds of animals, he could already distinguish what kind of beast it was. His kung fu may not be there, but his ability to discern direction by sound was still present.

  Perhaps it was when he crouched down that he made a slight noise, or perhaps he had brushed against the branches, but suddenly the wild boar in his line of sight turned its head towards Huang Xiao's direction.

  Damn it, a pig with such good hearing! Huang Xiao cursed in his heart. (Nonsense, didn't you see how big his ears are!)

  No! That damned wild boar is running in this direction!

  At this moment, Huang Xiang no longer hesitated, his body turned around and he started his thrilling escape.

  Fortunately, there were still quite a few trees in the mountain forest. Relying on these numerous trees, Huang Xiaoyi dodged the wild boar's charges again and again. The clumsy wild boar stumbled and bumped into things, being toyed with by Huang Xiaoyi, failing repeatedly. Despite its furious state, wanting to jump wildly like thunder, releasing its ferocity, and recklessly pursuing and killing Huang Xiaoyi without care.

  Damn it, why is this wild boar so stupid? Mom's, what's the point of being so straightforward? In the past, he hadn't been chased by a wild boar before, but after running around for a while, the boar would automatically leave. What's wrong with this pig? Huang Xiang cursed in his heart as he was tightly pursued by the wild boar.

  A two-year-old's body, no matter how strong, has its limits. Gradually, Huang Xiang felt his legs getting heavier and heavier. The wild boar behind him was still displaying an unyielding spirit, stubbornly clinging to his buttocks. He was about to be overtaken again - was he really going to die in the mouth of a pig?

  Suddenly, a tree about 15 centimeters in diameter appeared in front of him. He thought to himself, "Let's use this tree to drag it away, even if it's just a dying struggle." He hoped that the wild boar would crash into the tree and knock itself out. With his mind made up, Huang Xun summoned his last bit of strength and ran towards the tree he had pinned his hopes on.

  The wild boar behind, perhaps also seeing that Huang Xiao's body had reached its limit, the bloodthirsty light in its eyes grew even stronger, and a series of what seemed to be excited "hums" came from its pig mouth.

  It's close! Less than half a meter away from the tree now!

  The wild boar's tusks were less than half a meter away from Huang Xiao, and suddenly its hind legs bent down, making a gesture to pounce, with only Huang Xiao in its playful eyes.

  Huang Xiang suddenly took the last step, his toes just touching the ground, when a gust of evil wind suddenly came from behind, no! He secretly shouted in his heart, not daring to slow down for a moment. His right foot that had landed on the ground fiercely stomped on the ground, using the last bit of strength in his body to push himself instantly falling to the left side.

  "Here it is!"

  "Bang!"

  "Pffft!"

  Huang Xiao fell to the ground and rolled out two meters away, unable to get up again. He struggled to sit up, feeling a sharp pain in his right arm. Looking down, he saw that the tiger-striped jacket he was wearing had been torn at the shoulder, with a small cut on the muscle underneath. The bleeding wasn't severe, but it hurt a lot. It seemed that before he fell, he had been grazed by the wild boar's tusk. If he had been any slower... Huang Xiao really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

  "The thud" should have been the sound of me falling to the ground, but what I heard was three consecutive sounds. What's with that last "thump"? It shouldn't be the sound of a wild boar crashing into a tree, right? Huang Xiao's mind was filled with doubts, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction where he had just been. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but laugh.

  Only to see that wild boar, its long tusks deeply embedded in the tree trunk. It turned out that the wild boar must have hated Huang Fei extremely, and this one pounce actually used all his strength, but he couldn't pounce on him, and instead crashed head-on into that not-too-thick-or-too-thin tree, slightly off to one side. The long tusks were embedded in the trunk of the tree. The wild boar's strength was too great, and its more than 20 cm long tusks were actually completely buried, and on the other side of the tree, a section of tusk about 5-6 cm long was exposed!

  "Hmm, hmm……" The wild boar let out a reluctant cry, trying to pull out the tusk stuck deep in the tree trunk again and again. The swaying tree made a "rustling" sound, perhaps due to the intense pain, a hint of tears appeared in the pig's eyes.

  "Deserved it! I told you to chase me, now you know the bitterness, you dead beast!" After resting for a while, Huang Xiao recovered some of his strength and couldn't help but laugh and scold as he looked at the wild boar's appearance. He lowered his head, searched for two not-too-large stones on the ground nearby, moved to the other side of the tree opposite the wild boar, and carefully tapped the exposed tusk with the two stones. Slowly, the tusk became hotter and hotter under the continuous tapping, gradually becoming flat and no longer rounded.

  "Ah, it's about time! Huang Xiao tossed away the two stones in his hand and took a step back. 'Heh heh, you stupid pig, this time I'll make your teeth flat, let's see how you can pull them out now! Just stay here quietly for the rest of your life! Haha... A pig ran into a tree, still a wild boar! Hahaha..."

  "I'm off, I won't accompany you anymore! You've been chasing me for so long, I need to find a place to sleep!"

  Huang Xiang turned around and was about to find a place to sleep.

  "Hmm, hmm...".

  "What else can you do besides oinking, huh? You've brought it to this point and still dare to oink at me!" The incessant oinking of the wild boar by his ear made Huang Xiao grit his teeth in anger. A good nap had been ruined by this beast. In a fit of rage, he picked up a stone and hit the boar with it before turning around and walking away.

  Not going, can be annoyed to death!

  Finally getting away from that damned wild boar, Huang Xiao found another place to rest, lay down, closed his eyes, and felt extremely exhausted, unable to muster up any more energy; it seemed like he needed a good sleep.

  "Ah!"

  "Huh? Wind's picking up? The treetops swayed violently, and Huang furrowed his brow as he sat back up. He had just lain down! Damned weather, looks like this place isn't suitable for sleeping either. Need to find a cave or some other sheltered spot."

  Huh? No! Why does this wind have a bloody smell?

  Whoa! Two words suddenly flashed through Huang Xiao's mind: Tiger?

  The clouds follow the dragon, the wind follows the tiger. It seems that this bloody wind is undoubtedly the old tiger. Huang Xiao struggled to get up, but his body, which had just relaxed, no longer had any strength! I'm done for, heaven wants me dead!

  Before Huang Xie had more ideas, a white shadow flashed before his eyes, and a huge tiger head stretched out in front of him.

  Die if you must! Since it's a tiger, struggling again would be useless. Huang Xiangyin took a deep breath and no longer feared the tiger in front of him, carefully sizing it up. Hmm, it wasn't much different from the tigers of his past life either. Wait, why is this tiger white? A White Tiger?

  "Roar!" The white tiger's head stretched out in front of him suddenly let out a low, muffled roar.

  "Are you going to eat me? Huang Xiao looked at the white tiger's head, or rather, its golden eyes. Although it was an animal, Huang Xiao could see excitement in its eyes, yes, excitement! Huang Xiao smiled wryly and thought, "Ah, this must be the excitement of finding food!" Hmm? No, there seemed to be a special affection in that excited gaze, what was it? Ah! It seemed like the look my mother, Jiang Shi, gave me when I first woke up in this world... no, I must have misread it, how could a tiger give me such a look?! Huang Xiao self-mockingly said"

  The tiger's mouth opened wide and bit towards his waist, it's coming, Huang Xiao muttered.

  Huh? Why doesn't it hurt? This... this is sucking me up! And it's not even biting my body, but my clothes! What is this? Taking me back to the hole to eat?

  Perhaps proving Huang Xiao's idea, the white tiger turned around and ran back in the direction it came from. "Whoosh..." The fierce wind started to sound in Huang Xiao's ears and nose, such a fast speed! He felt like he was almost suffocating. Along the way, the mountain road was rugged, and some places didn't even have a road, but the white tiger was as if walking on flat ground, and Huang Xiao could hardly feel any bumps.

  Near the top of the mountain, the white tiger carried him into a huge cave, which must be its home.

  The white tiger carried the yellow sparrow all the way to the depths of the cave, probably about 7 or 8 meters in, then gently put it down.

  Slowly, Huang Xiao's eyes became accustomed to the darkness in front of him. With the faint moonlight, he made out the White Tiger's home, a vast and empty mountain cave. On his left hand side, there was an area that seemed to be an extension of the cave, pitch black and seemingly endless. It turned out that this wasn't the end of the cave after all. Underneath him, it felt soft and fluffy, like a pile of animal fur.

  The yellow leopard that was put down by the white tiger was lying on this fur nest, when suddenly something on his right side started to push against his body.

  What is this? A white tiger on my left, are there other creatures in this cave?

  Huang Xiao busy turned his head to look, only to find that beside him was a small white tiger, which had been lying down. Seeing him turn around, it stuck out its little tongue and licked his face with an air of intimacy.

  It turns out that I didn't eat it in the mountain, but left it for this little guy! Huang Xiao thought to himself.

  Turning his head to look at the white tiger, staring into its eyes, to be honest, Huang Xiao didn't hate it. The law of the jungle is survival of the fittest, that's just how nature is. Huang Xiao stared unblinkingly at the white tiger, and the white tiger also looked back at him. Suddenly, it walked into its den.

  Are you going to eat me?

  Only saw the white tiger walk into the den, lie down, and thrust its abdomen towards Huang Xiao's face.

  What does this mean? Huang Xiao looked at the White Tiger's abdomen in confusion, only to see two hanging nipples. Haha, so it's a female tiger! But that's strange, why is there only one little tiger here? I remember tigers usually have two cubs per litter.

  Suddenly, a white tiger's front paw reached out in front of Huang Xiao, and the nipple was pushed to his mouth.

  "Let me drink your milk?" Huang Xiao looked at the White Tiger's eyes in confusion, and saw that its gaze had once again appeared with the same look as when they were on the mountain. It really did resemble his mother Jiang Shi's gaze! However, this was also too ridiculous, right? He, Huang Xiao, was a human, while it was a tiger - how could that be possible?

  Huang Xiang withdrew his gaze, unintentionally sweeping over his own arm, to be precise, sweeping over the clothes on his arm! Tiger-striped jacket! Haha, I understand now, I finally understand, it turns out that the white tiger's eyes didn't deceive me, it really took me as a little tiger, one of its cubs. I said so, how come there was only one little tiger in this cave? Hmm, probably the other one got lost. The white tiger went down the mountain to find its cub and ended up taking me back as its child instead! Haha... no need to die now...
