49 Abandon
◎The crocodile, having been hungry for half a year, opened its mouth wide, waiting for its prey to come to it...◎
In fact, there was nothing Qiao Jinnian could do. The only thing he could do was to let the little cheetah's wound heal on its own and feed him something to prevent him from starving to death.
Of course, she couldn't let the lion pride raise the cheetah cub, as it was not a member of the pride.
But because she dragged the cub back, the lion group members did not bite the cub to death.
As top predators, the other lions would have killed the cheetah cub if they hadn't considered it Qiao Jinnian's personal property.
Qiao Jinnian went to catch prey by herself, knowing that she had to solve her own problems. However, after several days, she only had these guinea fowls, which she used to lay eggs.
The most important reason why she had never eaten the chicken was that she really didn't know how to pluck the feathers. But now, there were too many eggs to eat every day, so Qiao Jinnian decided to give a few to the little cheetah.
So she picked up a guinea fowl and threw it to the little cheetah.
The little cheetah was stunned, with confusion in its light green eyes, probably because it had never seen this kind of prey before.
But instinctively, he knew that it was edible, but he took one look at the guinea fowl, then raised his head to look at the biped in front of him, and just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to start.
Qiao Jinnian vaguely remembered reading somewhere that to pluck the chicken's feathers, it was necessary to scald it with boiling water.
Looking at such a beautiful chicken, Qiao Jinnian really couldn't bring herself to kill it. Oh my God, why should she help carnivores kill another animal?
She is now extremely conflicted. Although chicken is on her menu, other meats are often given to her directly by her lion father. Now, she needs to kill the chicken with her own hands, which she really can't bear.
Just as the leopard and the human were looking at each other, at a loss as to what to do, Ryan couldn't bear it anymore. He walked directly to the tree where the little cheetah was tied, and bit the guinea fowl that was still eating insects on the ground to death.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
Out of animal instinct, the little cheetah went forward to bite the chicken feathers without any instruction. It just laid its two front paws on the guinea fowl and gnawed the feathers with its mouth, ending up with a mouthful of feathers.
However, because he was so hungry, he had no choice but to eat it like this.
Qiao Jinnian would catch some prey for him to eat every day, which was basically new prey. She had raised the guinea fowl for so many days and had developed feelings for them, so she was reluctant to give it to him.
Fortunately, the little cheetah's injuries were not serious and its bones were not broken. It just lost too much blood and the wound was a bit large.
He would lick his own wounds, and after a few days, the wounds felt much better and had begun to heal.
Of course, Qiao Jinnian didn't have any extra time to think about him, because she still had to exercise, repair traps, cook for herself, exchange food with monkeys, water the tuberous plants, etc. Oh, by the way, she also had to go to the rocks to watch the gossip of the super lion group opposite.
Coming to this world alone, watching the gossip of other lion groups has become her daily routine. After all, there is no TV here and she can't do anything.
The super lion pride welcomed the return of lionesses and newborn cubs today. A few months ago, three lioness mothers left the pride one after another to give birth to cubs. At present, only one has returned.
This lioness is with her three cubs, who look to be about three or four months old.
The lioness first hid her cubs behind her, then ran over and growled a few words to one of the territory lions, the cubs' father, introducing her children.
However, when the cub's father passed her to see the cub, he was hit by the lioness mother and was instantly stunned.
The lioness roared fiercely a few times: "Roar——"
Afterwards, the mother lioness turned around and bit the smallest one. The other two followed her and walked carefully towards the male lion father.
It is obvious that this is not the first time that the lion father has been a father. There are so many lions in this lion group, and many of them are his cubs.
The male lion father was roared at and beaten by the female lion. When he saw his cubs, he hesitated and dared not move. After the cubs were brought over by their mother, he lowered his head and sniffed the cubs' bodies and butts to remember their smell.
The territorial lion always has a way to recognize his cubs. He is very sure that these are his cubs, so he licks the cubs' heads to show his affection.
However, the cubs always have a natural admiration for their lion father. They look up at their father with reverence, and can't help but go forward and bite his long mane, which in turn makes the lion roar.
Then, the lion was beaten by the lioness again.
Qiao Jinnian: "Hahahaha..."
This scene was quite funny. Not only did Qiao Jinnian find it funny, but even Reiner beside her found it funny and made a happy gurgling sound in his throat.
However, when she thought about how these male lion fathers had killed the female lion cubs just a few months ago, she felt that the world was particularly cruel and those cubs were so innocent!
Here, the two old men look after their cubs without complaint every day, and the three lioness mothers hunt for a living every day, but it is obvious that the status of male lions and female lions has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Originally, these two old men were territorial lions and had the right to eat first. The lionesses hunted but could only eat later.
Now, the lionesses are still hunting, but the lionesses have been reduced to the role of babysitters. They can only wait until all the lionesses and cubs are full before it is the turn of the two old men to eat.
As Qiao Jinnian watched the gossip of the two lion groups, her mood improved throughout the day, and her weaving work became more and more skilled.
After reading the gossip, she went to practice running.
Now that the little cheetah's wound has completely healed, Qiao Jinnian plans to send him back to his mother, hoping that his mother can still accept him.
However, no one knew where his mother had gone. She was always elusive and she hadn't seen the cheetahs for several days.
Therefore, Qiao Jinnian could no longer raise the little cheetah in vain; he had to learn to hunt on his own.
That day, Qiao Jinnian simply took his spear and went hunting with the little cheetah.
They hunted in this public grassland, which was unowned land and not marked. Qiao Jinnian did not want to hunt within his own lion group. After all, that was the territory of the lion father, and he could not eat his father's prey.
With Reiner by her side to protect her, she wasn't afraid at all.
Crawling in the dry grass with the little cheetah, they looked at the big warthog in the distance together. Unexpectedly, they found the prey in one go.
The leopard and the man looked at each other and saw the same signal in each other's eyes. They rushed towards the warthog at the same time.
However, before they could get close to the warthog, the warthog had already backed into the garage and went straight into the hole.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
That’s not right. The little cheetah is a cheetah. Can’t it accelerate to 110 kilometers per hour in three seconds?
"What about your speed? Why are you running so slowly?" Qiao Jinnian was speechless. Knowing that he didn't understand, she added: "Roar--"
The little cheetah was also dumbfounded. He was only half a year old. He opened his ignorant eyes and said to her, "Meow?"
Well, she was being too demanding on the cub. After all, it was still so small and probably didn't even know how fast it was.
So, they did not give up and continued to lie in the grass, ready to ambush and see when the warthog would come out again.
When they were starving and their stomachs were rumbling, the warthog still didn't come out. It seemed that the warthog knew they were hiding in the grass.
So, Qiao Jinnian had no choice but to take the little cheetah back. Today's hunting was in vain. Not only did they waste their energy, they didn't even get a warthog skin.
There was no other choice, so Qiao Jinnian took out her own food and fed it to the little cheetah.
However, she was worried. If this continued, the little cheetah would lose its wildness, wouldn't be able to hunt, and would starve to death when it grew up. She couldn't support him forever.
Qiao Jinnian felt that the little cheetah should first learn to play to its strengths, which was running speed.
So, starting from the afternoon of the next day, Qiao Jinnian started chasing the little cheetah. If he didn't run, she would poke his butt with the sharp thorns to force him to run forward.
In this way, she can also exercise her running ability and body.
One day, as they were running, two cheetahs appeared in the bushes in front of them. They must be the mother of the little cheetah.
However, Qiao Jinnian remembered that there were three cubs left from the cheetah mother. In addition to the injured one, there should have been two more. But why was there only one cub now?
Sure enough, the little cheetah saw his mother from a distance and ran up to her excitedly, calling out, "Meow, meow..."
At this time, the cheetah mother who was always in a hurry stopped, walked forward hesitantly, and smelled the little cheetah carefully. It seemed that she smelled many smells that did not belong to cheetahs, such as the smell of lions and strange two-legged animals.
But after a long hesitation, the cheetah mother finally accepted the return of her child.
Qiao Jinnian watched the little cheetah happily walking away with its mother.
When they walked out of the bushes, the little cheetah suddenly turned around and shouted at her: "Meow——"
Qiao Jinnian waved goodbye.
The cheetah's mother also looked back at her, and then the three of them left again.
Qiao Jinnian was very happy that the little cheetah was finally returned. She no longer had to worry about the little cheetah not being able to hunt when it grew up and starving to death.
That day, she and Reiner were sitting on the rocks reading gossip again, but they saw this scene.
When she saw the lioness returning with her three cubs that day, she noticed that one of them was walking a little unsteadily. At that time, she thought that the cub might have poor balance when walking.
However, after observing carefully for a few days, she discovered that the little cub seemed to have some disability in its legs.
The disabled lion might be disliked by its allies when hunting in the future. She only hopes that the cub can grow up well, at least to have the love of its parents during its childhood.
However, she was wrong, the cub was abandoned by the lion pride because his mother began to refuse to feed him.
This cub had not had milk for several days and was so hungry that he wanted to go eat meat with the lion group. As a result, he was knocked to the ground by his other brothers and sisters.
The little lion was confused and so hungry that he had no strength left. He lay on the ground for a long time before he recovered and wanted to go into the arms of the mother lioness to drink some milk.
However, the mother lioness simply stood up and moved a few steps away, refusing to give him food.
Qiao Jinnian felt extremely distressed, but that was not something she could do. She thought of the little cheetah. She had raised it for so many days, but it just left without a trace. Moreover, she almost raised the cheetah to death.
This lion was even smaller, and she was only a cub herself, so she didn't have the ability to help him.
So, Qiao Jinnian chose to escape and simply stopped looking at the little lion, and even stopped wanting to read the gossip on the opposite side.
Just look at the scene of two old men taking care of a baby here.
Not to mention, although these two old men are timid, they are still very patient with their cubs. It may also be because they are really old and have a much better temper than the young male lion father. They rely on female lions to hunt and have a very low status in the family, so it is unlikely that they will get angry with their cubs.
However, she had not visited the little lion for several days. The little lion, who was in danger, risked his life and swam across the river where thousands of crocodiles were lurking!
Of course, he hadn't had milk for many days and had limited strength. He was almost drowned in the river just after setting out. The water level was very low, but the little lion was even lower.
The crocodile, which had been hungry for half a year, opened its mouth wide, waiting for its prey to come to it...
