5. Get along
◎She was really afraid that his canine teeth would cut her carotid artery...◎
This smile scared several monkeys because she had not grown teeth yet. Seeing this, several monkeys realized that this species was still a toothless cub, which seemed a little pitiful.
Qiao Jinnian didn’t know what the other monkeys were thinking, so he got up and started picking up the fruit.
However, she had not yet completed today's task, so she sat back down and continued to shoot stones at another fruit.
Bread had been looking at her from the side, with his mouth wide open in a surprised expression, which was much more exaggerated than a human's expression. The three big words "don't understand" were really welded on the monkey's face!
Qiao Jinnian: “…” Not really!
Finally, she even lost interest in the bread. After all, picking fruits was such a simple thing. She didn't expect that she would be busy for so long just to pick up a fruit. This weird thing turned out to be useless!
Qiao Jinnian ignored the monkeys and watched them pick a fruit and leave. Then he calmed down and continued to pick his own fruit.
Hard work pays off. She became more and more proficient in using the slingshot. When she hit the third fruit, it only took her five tries.
After taking three shots, she stopped. After all, she was somewhat aware of her small body.
Qiao Jinnian tied the simple raft to his legs with long grass and tried it. He was still able to drag it, which was within his tolerance. After all, there was a lot of grass here, which was a great help.
Slowly and leisurely, Qiao Jinnian finally brought back three fruits. They were all larger ones that she had specially picked, so that she could use them as containers after eating them.
When I returned to Ryan, he was still resting and recovering from his injuries.
The lion was injured and couldn't hunt well, so Qiao Jinnian had no way of bringing him food. She opened a piece of fruit and tentatively offered it to him: "Can you eat this?"
Ryan glanced at the strange fruit in her hand, moved his mouth away, and continued to look into the distance, obviously lacking interest in food other than meat.
But Qiao Jinnian thought that cats should be able to eat this too, so it would be okay to eat a little, right?
So, she tentatively handed the fruit to him again: "Try it, this can be used as a staple food and can fill your stomach."
Ryan was annoyed by this strange food stuck in his mouth. He opened his mouth wide, revealing four huge canine teeth about 8 cm long.
At this moment, Qiao Jinnian was moving her hand towards his mouth, so she took the opportunity to put her hand in and touched his tongue.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
Fortunately, Ryan soon discovered that there was something in his mouth, and he gently moved his head away. In order to successfully move it away, he raised his huge lion head high, stretched out his barbed tongue, licked his mouth, and growled at her in a warning: "Roar——"
Seeing that he really didn't want to eat, Qiao Jinnian had no choice but to wrap the remaining fruit in leaves and put it aside. She quickly crawled to the river, filled a bowl of water, put it in her mouth, and brought it back.
This time, she placed the fruit shell bowl directly in front of him and motioned him to drink water.
Even if you don't eat, you still need to drink water. After all, any living thing needs water.
Ryan looked at her with his golden eyes, and really came over, stretched out his tongue and began to lick the water. This amount of water was too little for him, because the bowl was soon empty.
Seeing that he was willing to drink water, Qiao Jinnian was very happy and smiled at him with her teeth showing. Yes, she smiled like that on purpose, hoping that he could understand that she was happy.
Ryan, who had finished drinking the water, also looked at her and lowered his head to lick her face to show intimacy.
There were some thorns on his tongue, and it felt numb and sticky when licking her face. Qiao Jinnian wanted to wash her face with the thorns, but the river was a bit far, so she gave up. She could only turn around and wipe her face with her sleeve later.
The temperature here is about 30 degrees during the day, but a little low at night. Qiao Jinnian looked at the hospital gown that was now tattered by her, wondering if there was any more suitable clothes to wear.
Ryan's wounds had begun to scab over, so she moved closer to him. His mane was long and thick, and although it didn't smell very good, it was very warm.
Not only was his fur warm, his body temperature was also very high, so she boldly reached out and hugged his waist. He did not object, but lowered his head, licked her face again, and pressed his forehead against hers.
But he obviously didn't know how huge his head was. She was almost completely buried in his mane and couldn't breathe...
This is suffocating stickers.
However, that night, Qiao Jinnian was not woken up by the cold because there was a huge stove next to him.
It was not until the whole grassland came back to life that she was awakened by the sound of birds.
Ryan continued to lie there, licking his wounds from time to time, but in the evening, after drinking the water she brought him, he simply got up and prepared to go out hunting.
Qiao Jinnian really wanted to go with him because she was worried about him, but she was now a burden, so she gave up and could only hope that everything went well for him.
But this time, before leaving, Ryan turned around to look at her, walked closer, tilted his head to look at her, and opened his bloody mouth to bite her.
If Qiao Jinnian was a little less timid, she would have screamed at this moment, but she would not do that because she believed that Ryan was not here to bite her, and she was used to not having big emotional fluctuations.
But she was still a little scared, so she closed her eyes.
The next second, she found herself picked up by Linkong. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was indeed hanging in the air. It turned out that he picked her up with his teeth, just like picking up a lion cub.
Qiao Jinnian didn't know where he was taking her, but she was not afraid at all.
Fortunately, she was a developmentally disabled child and weighed less, otherwise I was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to carry it in his mouth.
Soon, she was placed in the grass, the same grass where she usually stayed. It was more secluded here, the terrain was higher, and it was surrounded by several bushes. The grass was also very tall, which could indeed hide her.
It turned out that he was going hunting and wanted her to stay here.
So, Qiao Jinnian nodded at him and said, "Okay, I'll wait here for you to come back."
Ryan came over, licked her face again, put his forehead against hers, and then turned around to hunt.
The wounds on his stomach hadn't fully healed yet, but he needed nutrition, otherwise those wounds would heal very slowly.
Since she had promised him that she would wait here for him to come back, Qiao Jinnian did not dare to move. She just lay there looking at the swamp in the distance, searching for his figure.
As she watched, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she found herself hanging in the air again and was carried back to the tree.
Qiao Jinnian sat up and checked Ryan's stomach several times. Seeing that the wound was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the back, saying, "You're awesome, Ryan!"
There was blood on the corner of Ryan's mouth, and he kept licking the corner of his mouth with his tongue. Seeing that she woke up, he pushed a piece of meat on the ground in front of her.
Qiao Jinnian looked down and saw that it was an animal with gray-black fur. The piece of meat weighed about ten pounds, and it was bloody and still had the skin on.
"For me?" Qiao Jinnian looked at him and asked.
Ryan obviously didn't understand what she was saying and pushed forward towards her again.
Although she was very grateful to him, Qiao Jinnian couldn't eat meat because she could only eat cooked food. That wasn't right either. She didn't even have teeth yet, so how could she eat?
After thinking about it, Qiao Jinnian opened her mouth wide, showing her teeth, and moved closer to show him. The meaning was obvious: she had no teeth and could not eat.
Sure enough, she actually saw incomprehension on Ryan's lion face.
Yes, a cub this big should have grown teeth. Lion cubs have all their teeth when they are two months old. She is already this big and looks more than two months old. How could she not have grown teeth?
Uh, Qiao Jinnian was even more confused about explaining, so she could only shamefully push the piece of meat back to him: "Don't waste it, finish it."
Ryan had no choice but to finish all the meat in three or two bites. His stomach was round and he lay there lazily, squinting his eyes and began to rest.
Seeing him sleeping, Qiao Jinnian began to think about how to find suitable clothes to wear, and even thought about tree bark or animal skins.
Unfortunately, she didn't know how to tan animal skins. If the skins were damaged, they would definitely smell bad, and leaves didn't keep warm. If she could find something like hemp, she could try to weave it, although she had never done it before.
After drinking water at the river, Qiao Jinnian felt that she had too many things to worry about. She had to worry about not having clothes to wear, and she had to consider how to make a fire and barbecue when her teeth grew in the future. After all, she couldn't eat baobab fruit all her life.
It's really worrying.
At night, she simply crawled into Ryan's mane to sleep, stretching her arms around his huge neck.
At first, she thought Ryan had a strong smell, but later, she got used to the mixed smell and could sleep through the night.
However, when she woke up the next day, she found herself being held in the air again.
Qiao Jinnian: "..." Maybe next time, she could communicate with Ryan and let her ride on his back, which would be safer.
She was really afraid that his canine teeth would cut her carotid artery...
After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at another grassland.
At this time, the sky was bright. Ryan put her on the ground and lowered his body. With the cover of the golden grass leaves, his brown hair was perfectly hidden in the grass.
He was looking at the lions in the distance, observing them.
It turned out that there was a huge lion pride here, which included two adult male lions, five adult female lions, and a group of lion cubs.
Qiao Jinnian suspected that this was Ryan's original lion group, but why did he leave?
