125 Chicken Dinner
◎Wait, remember the last time the lion father saw the twitching lion, did the lion father think she◎
Yes, there were so many guinea fowl, but Qiao Jinnian only caught a few feathers, and the rest flew away.
This winged animal is so hard to catch!
This method was not reliable either, so Qiao Jinnian simply sat on the grass and prepared to think carefully about how to catch these flying chickens.
Since they can fly, we can only treat them as birds. Qiao Jinnian walked back pinching chicken feathers, feeling a little discouraged.
Lying beside her lion father, sighing, she was really annoyed. She had spent a long time trying but really didn't catch any.
Sensing that the cub was a little unhappy, the lion father raised his head, licked her face, and exposed his belly, meaning for her to lean on him.
The lion father's belly is really round, but in recent years he has always had a belly patch that feels soft to the touch. Maybe it's because he gets older.
On the grassland, Qiao Jinnian also paid attention to observing other male lions and found that it was not only the lion father who had this belly, many of them had it.
Holding the belly, Qiao Jinnian was just a little frustrated, but she would not give up. After all, guinea fowls lay eggs, and there were no guinea fowls in that waterfall area.
So, she sat up again, took out the hemp rope she had twisted some time ago, and prepared to weave a net on the spot, and use the net to catch the guinea fowl, just like catching a small bird.
This was also the first time in her life that she caught chickens. If she succeeded, she could catch chickens, and in the future when food was scarce, she would definitely be able to catch small birds to eat, such as the alarm birds.
She could even use such a large net to catch fish, and then dream of a bigger one to catch a bird of prey, such as a hawk?
Ah, it’s better not to have such a dream. Thinking about the brutality of the raptor, Qiao Jinnian decided to forget about it.
It took her several hours, until it was completely dark, to finally finish the net. The gaps were too large to catch small birds, but guinea fowl were relatively large, so it was still possible.
The next morning, she took her net and ran to the mountains impatiently, excited to try out the effectiveness of her net bag.
Then, in the eyes of those guinea fowls, the two-legged beast that wanted to catch them yesterday but failed and ran away with only a few chicken feathers, actually came again today and looked super happy?
Yes, this time Qiao Jinnian did not crawl, but rushed straight into the middle of the guinea fowl. When they flapped their wings and prepared to fly to the treetops, Qiao Jinnian waved his net bag vigorously towards the most densely populated area. As a result, he caught one with the first wave!
Qiao Jinnian was delighted. She was so smart!
The captured guinea fowl was still confused. It had no foothold in the net and no way to fly. It struggled, called "cluck, cluck, cluck" and looked at her in horror.
Qiao Jinnian quickly tied up the legs of this one with a hemp rope and tied the other end to a tree. Then she turned around and prepared to catch the other one. Moreover, since she couldn't tell the difference between a rooster and a hen, it would be better to catch a few more and see which one would lay eggs.
The second time, she was not so lucky. They had all learned their lesson. Before she could even start to raise the tools in their hands, they were so scared that they flew around and didn't give her any chance.
Qiao Jinnian was furious. He held the net high in both hands and waved it like a madman. Whenever he saw the guinea fowl, he would wave it vigorously, causing chaos in the entire mountain area. It was very lively.
On a tree not far away, there was a leopard, stretching its neck and looking at her. It looked as if it had gone mad. But after a careful look, it felt that this biped looked so familiar.
Yes, Diandian hadn't seen this cub for many years because Qiao Jinnian had grown a lot taller, but she had never seen a second biped cub in her life.
So, Dot ran towards her and yelled, "Woo-hoo?"
Qiao Jinnian was already exhausted. When she heard the roar, she stopped what she was doing and looked back. She didn't recognize Diandian at all, but on this grassland, a leopard appeared who wanted to communicate with her. It can be deduced that this should be Diandian.
Seeing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for several years, Qiao Jinnian gasped for breath, went forward to hug Dian Dian's head, pointed at the group of guinea fowl, and roared: "Woo-hoo--"
She actually wanted to ask Diandian if she ate guinea fowl, because she was very interested in catching guinea fowl. She thought that if she mastered this skill, she could catch birds and eat them even if there was no food in the future.
As a result, the man and the leopard had a poor communication relationship, and Diandian thought that Qiao Jinnian wanted her to help catch guinea fowl.
This is not difficult for leopards at all. They are the most non-picky predators, and they are masters of climbing trees and are not afraid of guinea fowl flying away.
Then, Qiao Jinnian witnessed the handsome scene of Diandian catching a chicken with her own eyes.
Suddenly, she went around the big tree, avoiding the sight of the guinea fowl, and jumped up from behind the tree quickly. Even the movement of climbing up the tree was so light and there was no sound at all.
At this time, the guinea fowl that had already flown up the trees were concentrating on looking at the crazy two-legged beast on the ground, and had no idea that there was a leopard behind them.
So, soon, Diandian used both claws to attack, caught the two of them, bit them, killed one first, and then turned around to bite the other to death.
Qiao Jinnian: “…” Uh, it turned out that Diandian invited her to eat chicken!
Anyway, Qiao Jinnian was tired, so he decided to take a rest. He made a fire on the spot, let Diandian eat the two fish, and roasted the one he caught first.
However, she still didn't dare to pluck the chicken's feathers. She stared at the chicken for a long time, not knowing how to start. Should she just pull it out by force?
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Diandian simply took over and plucked all the chicken feathers from her in just a few strokes.
Once again, Qiao Jinnian sighed at the leopard's casualness. She always felt that the leopard was the master of survival, while her own father was particularly picky about food.
The roasted chicken was just big enough for her to eat a whole. It was not as big as a domestic chicken, but her mouth was full of oil.
But two chickens were not enough for Diandian to eat. They were just enough to fill her stomach, and then she had to go hunting.
Qiao Jinnian rubbed against her again to show intimacy and said that he would continue to catch guinea fowl.
Knowing that the cub still wanted to catch chickens, he nodded and tilted his head, not understanding why. The cub had clearly already eaten the chicken, so why did it still want to catch it? Wasn’t it full?
Qiao Jinnian found it difficult to explain to her clearly, so she waved her hand, raised the net in her hand again, and ran towards the chickens.
Yes, she thought this game was so fun and she had to catch a few.
Once again, the grassland was filled with the sounds of "pa pa pa" and "cuckoo cuckoo". From time to time, a blue chicken with white spots, which looked very beautiful, would fly across the sky. The scene was quite lively and funny.
Qiao Jinnian, determined not to go home until he caught the chicken, swung the net frantically.
Then, when she finally succeeded in catching the three chickens, she quickly tied up the guinea fowl with a hemp rope, held them in her hands, and prepared to go home contentedly.
When she turned around, she saw the lion father standing next to her. He seemed to have been there for a long time, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there. Did he think his daughter was crazy?
Wait, remember the last time the lion father saw the lion twitching all over, did the lion father think that she also had canine distemper?
Picking up the three chickens in his hands, Qiao Jinnian said to his father: "Awoo--"
Tell him that she was just catching chickens, and this was the result of her labor. In the future, she will catch many, many small birds to eat. Large carnivores do not like to eat birds, but the small birds are small, so she can eat them.
The father and daughter walked side by side towards home. After returning, Qiao Jinnian was busy weaving a chicken coop for the chickens. She raised them again as before and let them lay eggs for her every day.
These chickens, together with the tubers, will be her staple food in the future.
Since they found all the animals she needed this time, the father and daughter decided to immigrate during the rainy season.
Yes, they want to migrate to the waterfall area. At present, that area is the most suitable place for them.
One reason is that it is close to where his father was born. Another reason is that the water there is clean. Qiao Jinnian can swim with his father and won’t be dirty all day long. There are also fewer lion groups there, so there is less competition.
So, that day, Qiao Jinnian pointed to the southwest and roared at the lion father: "Roar——"
The lion father followed the direction of her finger and looked towards the southwest. The tacit understanding between father and daughter for so many years no longer needed any words to explain.
Without a lion group to be a burden, there is no need to worry about being invaded by stray lions at any time. The lion father is the most survival-wise lion Qiao Jinnian has ever seen.
If they live out their retirement like this, apart from hunting and maintaining a normal life, without always getting involved in battles with other lions, is it possible that the lion father can live to be 30 years old?
Qiao Jinnian remembered that lions in captivity could live to their 20s, and some lions, if well cared for, could very likely live to 30.
Therefore, her important goal now is to let her father live to 30 years old as much as possible!
However, before leaving, Qiao Jinnian was still a little unwilling and wanted to try to find his friends. He didn't know where those friends went to live after leaving the southern grassland.
Allen had appeared on the grassland on the other side of the river before, so on this day, Qiao Jinnian found the tree left behind when she crossed the river before, climbed up the tree to the other side of the river, and the lion father followed her.
He seemed to know she was looking for her friend.
Qiao Jinnian yelled towards the other side of the river: "Moo——"
She roared several times, waiting for Arun to respond, but alas, no elephant seemed to be around.
In the end, Qiao Jinnian had to leave the grassland in disappointment. It seemed that his friends had really run away, and he didn't know if they would meet again in this life.
Even the stripes disappeared, but the guinea fowl and rabbits in the southern grasslands continued to reproduce on that grassland.
When setting off, Qiao Jinnian felt a little disappointed, mainly because she didn't see any friends on this trip to the eastern grassland.
Perhaps sensing her frustration, the lion father looked towards the north and roared at her: "Roar—"
He seemed to want to go to the northern territory where they lived that year and look for them again, perhaps those friends had gone to that territory.
Qiao Jinnian thought about it and felt that it was very possible. After all, she met Allen there, and Xingxing and Freckles also lived there for a long time.
So, Qiao Jinnian decided to look for it one last time, so that she would have searched all the territories where she and her friends had lived together.
