People who live off the mountain, aside from hunters, also include medicine collectors.
This old man didn't have the fierce temperament of a hunter, but he also didn't have the temperament of the ordinary mountain folk.
From his ability to freely enter the deep mountains and his knowledge of treating injuries, one could guess his background.
Because of the medicine collector, Chen Ying and Old Gao decided to stay another night.
That evening, Little Jin came to report that the old man indeed had wandered around the cave where the female tiger was with her cubs for several rounds.
"But I didn't sense any malice from him; he just had a very strange expression when looking at the tiger, I can't really describe it."
After all, Little Jin wasn't human, simple expressions he could manage, but complex ones he truly didn't know how to articulate.
However, he could still sense whether there was malice or not.
