138 Loneliness
Uncle Golden Hair quietly left this place alone. Perhaps he felt that his time was running out and he didn't want to be a burden here.
Xingxing is a cheetah, with a slender body and not much weight, but the black panther is not small in size and has bigger movements than Xingxing. When it pounces on her, even if Qiao Jinnian uses less force, he will still be knocked to the ground.
Since it's a wrestling match, Qiao Jinnian has to show some real skills.
But what should I use? I can't really take out my hunting weapons, right?
Ha, seeing such a big cat rushing towards me, of course I have to pick it up and pet it!
He pounced on him and bit him, but Qiao Jinnian ignored him and stepped forward, using both hands and feet to stretch out her legs, clamping her legs around his waist, and holding his head tightly with both hands.
She was quite strong, so he restrained his strength, and then, a black panther was completely embraced by a human cub who was almost nine years old.
Qiao Jinnian seems to have grown taller this year. I don’t know how tall exactly, but in any case, she has already grown taller than her lion father’s head.
Humans have the ability to hold and wrestle with their hands and feet, but animals that walk on all fours don't have this ability.
Holding the black panther, Qiao Jinnian fell to the side, and both the man and the panther fell down. However, she turned around, and the two sides switched offense and defense, and the black panther turned upside down.
Qiao Jinnian was still holding him, pressing him down tightly, and with her mouth wide open, she bit towards his neck.
Of course, she doesn't have huge canine teeth, it's just for show.
Tell Black Panther that she is the winner and Black Panther lost!
Hehehe, Qiao Jinnian moved closer to Black Panther's silly face, kissed him on the cheek, and growled softly, "I win, woohoo—"
Black Panther: "..." What's going on? What happened?
This was the most incredible day in his life. Why did the biped hold him so tightly? He couldn't move at all!
Seeing the black panther being thrown to the ground in this way, the other animals suddenly seemed to think this game was very interesting.
The second one to come up to compete was the Honey Badger. He was very active whenever there was a need for a fight.
However, the honey badger did not bite her today. After all, she was his friend, and the silverback was not stupid.
In order to prevent her from making that throw-down move, Silverback's whole body became extremely flexible. He ran to the left, then to the right, and when she pounced on him, he quickly retreated.
Not to mention, he is really very flexible, and it is not easy for Qiao Jinnian to hug him.
However, Qiao Jinnian wanted to try cheating. This game was invented by her, so does she need to make the rules?
So, she turned around to get her net bag, then suddenly turned around, quickly scooped up the ground, and lifted the unsuspecting honey badger into the air.
It was difficult to move in the net, so Qiao Jinnian kept the net low to prevent him from falling.
"Hahaha, I won, cross cross cross——" Qiao Jinnian took him out of the net, pulled his two little arms, looked into his big eyes and said.
But the honey badger didn't want to look at her and struggled to get down. After getting down, he ran to bite the net.
It seems that this net bag can't be saved. Qiao Jinnian covered his head, wondering if he could still use it after repairing it tomorrow.
Why is this guy still holding a grudge?
Qiao Jinnian has been trying to find ways to cheat, and even used a hanging rope to catch the leopard father and successfully captured a leopard.
Leopard father: “…” What kind of terrifying upright ape is this?
However, she quickly untied the rope for the leopard father, which earned her a look of fear from the leopard father.
In fact, if she didn't have tools, she wouldn't even be able to beat Stripes, but the animals had retracted their claws and were afraid of hurting her.
But she kept using various tools to cheat. She touched the tip of her nose and Qiao Jinnian regarded it as a demonstration for the animals. For the rest, she let the animals wrestle on their own. Whoever won would eat their favorite food as a reward.
Seeing that there was food as a reward, the animals immediately understood why they were playing this game, because if they won, they could eat!
Wow, that seems to make sense!
Almost every animal went up and wrestled with every other animal in a haphazard manner, without any method at all, even if it was just for fun.
Anyway, animals need to practice their hunting skills through these fights, so these actions are not difficult to understand in the eyes of animals.
Only the lion father and the golden retriever just squatted there, watching all the animals fall into a ball, it was very lively.
Seeing that the lion father didn't want to play, but she did, Qiao Jinnian deliberately went over and wanted to practice the wrestling skills she used on the black panther.
Unfortunately, the leopard's tonnage is still too small. The lion is really big and heavy. How could he be knocked down by her so easily?
However, the father looked very happy, knowing that the cub was playing with him, so he opened his mouth wide, stood up, put his two huge paws on the cub's shoulders, stood up on his hind legs, and deliberately backed away while roaring.
Qiao Jinnian deliberately lunged forward, and the lion father deliberately fell to the ground, lying on his back, looking at her sideways, with his four claws bent and all his sharp claws retracted.
There was doting and happiness in his golden lion eyes.
So, Qiao Jinnian pounced on him and rolled on his fat belly. He also rolled left and right, but seemed afraid of crushing the cub under him, so his movements were very small.
At this time, Qiao Jinnian stretched out his hands to hug his lion head, and tried to stabilize his stomach with his feet.
He was not angry. He turned around and licked the cub's cheeks and hair, as if he was just playing a game.
Qiao Jinnian lay in her father's arms, turned her head and continued to watch the animals playing on the scene.
At this time, Leopard Dad and Bangchui were fighting. The father and son had fought many times in the past, and Bangchui was beaten several times before he left.
When leopards grow up, there is no father-son relationship between them, but at this moment, they seem to suddenly realize that this is their father and this is their son.
After fighting for a while, they both lay on the ground. Bangchui leaned his head on his father's back and growled, "Woohoo!"
The leopard made the sound of an engine: "whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
Qiao Jinnian didn’t know when she fell asleep, but as long as she slept next to her father, she would sleep until dawn.
She thought it was a great place. She didn't have to move and the water from the waterfall would never dry up. It was simply the most wonderful home.
As the days passed, Qiao Jinnian felt very satisfied, but every species will grow old one day.
Although life was relatively comfortable and there were not many prey, Golden Retriever was still too old because antelopes were not that difficult to catch.
Yes, Golden Retriever is probably several years older than his lion father. Also, when he was a wandering male lion, he suffered too many injuries while guarding the lion territory, so he always ages faster than lions with fewer injuries.
So, recently, the golden retriever has been eating less and less.
Uncle Golden Retriever spends most of his time resting under a tree and rarely goes hunting. He only goes back to eat once every few days.
So, seeing Uncle Golden Retriever getting weaker day by day, Qiao Jinnian felt very sad and would put the prey in front of him and let him eat it.
Unfortunately, Uncle Golden Retriever looks very bad.
Finally, one day, when she woke up, she saw the lion father roaring in one direction, his voice was rapid and continuous.
At this time, she looked at the tree where Uncle Golden Retriever usually lay, but there was nothing there.
Uncle Golden Retriever quietly left here alone. Perhaps he felt that he didn't have much time left and didn't want to be a burden here.
The lion father roared all morning, trying to get a response from the golden uncle, but there was nothing.
The only sounds around were birdsong, insects chirping, and the rustling of the wind through the bushes.
The golden retriever disappeared completely, and no one knew where it went. Maybe he would hunt in the wild by himself. Maybe he would stop eating and just find a quiet place to die alone.
Qiao Jinnian felt a little lost, mainly because her father was very depressed.
This was a friend he had worked with when he was young. Now, he witnessed his friend growing old and quietly leaving the lion group.
These days, my father has been calling his old friend with the roar of a lion near the grassland, but it was all in vain. Uncle Golden Retriever never appeared in this grassland again.
Uncle Golden Retriever’s departure made Father Lion sad for several days.
Qiao Jinnian knew that he was very unhappy, so she would stay by his side, accompany him silently, and also reduced the time she spent on training outside.
However, no matter how sad he was, the lion father would not forget to hunt, to feed himself and Qiao Jinnian.
Fortunately, as time passed, the lion father gradually recovered from the depression of losing his friends.
Lions will experience many things in their lives, and the personalities of some lions will change with changes in the environment.
Now Qiao Jinnian felt that she didn’t know whether the lion father became silent because of the departure of the golden retriever, or because he was old and unable to do the job, or for some other reason. In short, it was visibly seen that the father was not as cheerful as before.
Another *7.7.zl passed, and two complete dry and rainy seasons passed. In the past two years, Qiao Jinnian, Lion Dad, and these friends have been living on this southwestern grassland, leading an ordinary yet challenging life.
Here, there is no need to worry about stray male lions invading the territory because it is not marked and there is no need to migrate with the herbivores every year.
But they seem to be isolated from the world. Some animals need to find their own kind after all, because animals are driven by instinct to find suitable species to reproduce.
For example, Star and Freckles need to find other cheetahs, and Black Panther also needs to go back because his cubs should have been driven out by their mother leopard, and it is time for the couple to reunite.
Suddenly, several friends were missing from the group, and Qiao Jinnian suddenly felt a little lonely, as if life here was too dull.
However, she originally came here with the purpose of taking care of her lion father in his old age.
If a male lion does not suffer too many injuries and is well cared for, it can live longer, but if a male lion fights for years, its body will age rapidly.
Here, apart from hunting, the lion father has no natural enemies and never needs to fight, so this place is very suitable for retirement.
The only thing that worried Qiao Jinnian was that the lion father seemed to have suddenly lost all his energy and spirit in the past two years. He was no longer like the lion king who could kill an entire pack of hyenas in one breath to help his cubs. He became silent and taciturn.
Before she could figure out what had caused her father's drastic change in personality, one day she felt in her dream that her lion father had been licking her hair and cheeks.
The next morning, she found that her father had left. She searched the entire grassland but could not find him.
