54 Dazhuang
Suddenly, Qiao Jinnian thought of a possibility: is Dazhuang dead?
After filling the wooden jar he made himself with the salt and closing the lid tightly, Qiao Jinnian was finally satisfied.
After thinking about it, Qiao Jinnian hung two chicken cages on the little zebra and let Reiner carry the tubers and salt jars.
Reiner looked at the weak zebra in front of him and was very confused. Why did this herbivore keep following them?
As a carnivore, Reiner was drooling at the sight of the little zebra. The reason why he didn't eat him was because they had no shortage of food along the way, and the entire grassland was full of food.
Now, it was strange that his sister was letting this little animal carry things.
In fact, Qiao Jinnian did this deliberately to let other lion group members understand that this was her pet and they should not hurt him.
The little zebra can eat grass by himself and does not need to be fed. The lion group only provides him with a shelter and does not need special care. Moreover, when he grows up, he will be able to work and will be a good laborer.
In fact, Qiao Jinnian's understanding is purely erroneous. The reason why zebras have not been tamed by humans like other horses is because they have bad tempers and are used to being free, so they cannot be tamed at all.
This little zebra is willing to carry all this luggage only because of its young age.
But that’s all in the past. Qiao Jinnian currently sees Zebra as a working companion.
After getting the salt, the lions continued to move south.
Along the way, they passed countless lion groups and saw thousands of herbivores before finally returning to the southern grasslands.
This is the place where Qiao Jinnian first traveled through time, and it is also where she met Ryan, so this is their home.
When returning to the territory, the first thing to do is to re-mark the territory. After all, after a long six months, all the smells have faded, and there will be many carnivores roaming here.
This time, it was Sister Sa who looked after the cubs, while Ryan and Reiner went out to mark the territory.
But because there was an adult lioness, Ryan didn't want to take Qiao Jinnian out.
However, Qiao Jinnian still wanted to follow the lion father and brother to see the baboons and ostriches. She wondered if the little ostrich had given birth to even smaller ostriches, whether Dazhuang had more cubs, and how the tribe was developing.
After expressing to the lion father his desire to go with him, Ryan had no choice but to refuse the cub's request.
Besides, Qiao Jinnian was captured by a fierce eagle in the territory last time, so Ryan still felt that the cub would be safest with him.
So, Sister Sa took care of the five cubs in the territory, and the other lions went out for patrol.
As soon as they set out, Qiangzi followed her. He seemed unwilling to stay here, thinking that she didn't want him anymore.
Qiao Jinnian couldn't take the little lion with her. After all, it was too dangerous. She wanted to send him back: "Be good, stay here. Wait for me to come back and play with you after inspecting the territory."
Who knew that the little lion was very stubborn and insisted on following her, and he didn't even need her to hold him, but just limped along behind her.
Ryan couldn't bear it anymore, so he bit him and put him on Reiner's back.
The little lion was terrified. This was his first time riding on the back of an adult lion. He was so scared that his whole body was stiff and he dared not move.
Reiner was also very irritable and didn't like being ridden by the little lion.
Qiao Jinnian thought about it and simply put the lion cub in a chicken coop and tied it to Reiner's body, so that she would not be afraid of the lion cub falling out.
The two lions roared all the way and marked their territory, while Qiao Jinnian stood by and waited.
Soon, they arrived at Dazhuang.
Qiao Jinnian looked up and kept looking at the baboons in the tree, but did not see Da Zhuang.
This is very strange. Last year, whenever she came over, Dazhuang would notice her immediately, and quickly run over and put his arm around her shoulder.
What happened this year?
Suddenly, Qiao Jinnian thought of a possibility, that is, is Dazhuang dead?
Qiao Jinnian suddenly felt sad. Perhaps this was the only possibility because she saw the new leader of the baboon group.
The new leader looked as strong as Dazhuang, but his teeth were ugly, even uglier than Dazhuang's yellow teeth, and not neat.
Therefore, this leader is definitely not Dazhuang. Could it be that this new leader killed Dazhuang?
"Wow, wow, wow—" Qiao Jinnian suddenly sat on the ground and started crying.
Da Zhuang was her friend, the good chief who brought her flint, the primate friend closest to her. Last year, he led the tribe to find food everywhere, allowing the tribe to grow and become stronger. Such a good chief was actually killed by the new chief.
The cub suddenly started to look sad, tears streaming down her face, and Ryan, anxious, walked over and licked her face, not understanding why.
Reiner also came over and rubbed his long mane on her head to comfort her.
The little lion lay in the cage, looking at her crying.
Even Silverback and the Jackal were surprised. They didn't understand why there was water on her face and she was making a "woooooo" sound, but they could sense that she was unhappy.
Qiao Jinnian kept crying until a paw rested on her shoulder and a green fruit was stuffed into her mouth.
Looking up, Qiao Jinnian looked at the animals around her, because there was no way a lion would stuff fruit into her mouth to eat. This action could only be done by primates.
The person who appeared before her was actually her good friend, Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang put his arm around her shoulders, opened his red eyes, opened his mouth, bared his teeth, and cried "wa wa wa" as if asking her why she was crying.
Qiao Jinnian didn't expect that Dazhuang was still alive, so she quickly stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, causing Dazhuang to make a series of angry "chi chi chi" sounds.
He didn't understand why the little lion was holding him so tightly. Was it because it had grown up and wanted to eat him?
So, Da Zhuang stretched out his claws, pried her hands apart, bared his teeth at her, and cursed at her in a very unpleasant way.
However, Qiao Jinnian was not angry at all because Dazhuang was still alive and he was not dead.
However, this tribe has a new leader.
Seeing Da Zhuang hanging out with the lions, talking and laughing, the baboon leader became unhappy and ran over to beat Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang reacted quickly and dodged the leader's attack very quickly. He ran up the tree in one breath, and the leader followed closely after him.
The two male baboons chased after them, cursing all the way.
Qiao Jinnian didn’t understand why the leader had to be changed, and this new leader was not nice to Dazhuang at all. Did he have to beat him just because he didn’t like him?
But as long as he is still alive, that’s all Qiao Jinnian wishes. She hopes all her friends can live well.
Ryan was relieved when the cub stopped crying and walked over to rest under a big tree.
Qiao Jinnian once again took out the stone pot she found on the road and started cooking.
The smell of meat attracted the new leader, but he didn't dare to grab it because this was a lion group.
Qiao Jinnian invited Dazhuang to come over and eat, but Dazhuang looked at the new leader and didn't dare to come over.
Well, Qiao Jinnian didn't want to make things difficult for Dazhuang and could only share the pot of meat with her friends.
After a while, Qiao Jinnian saw Dazhuang carrying a little baboon on his back. It should be his cub, but he did not see the little baboon's mother.
Dazhuang held the little baboon and sat on the tree, looking at her with envy in his eyes, but he didn't dare to come over.
Later, Qiao Jinnian went to see the ostrich herd again. The ostrich herd had become a super large herd, but many of the adult ostriches had gone out independently and established their own new families.
A little ostrich looked at her and walked towards her, looking very happy.
This is the breeding season, and adult female ostriches begin to dance to attract the attention of male ostriches because there are too few male ostriches on the grassland and many female ostriches.
So, the male ostrich walked over and started choosing the female ostrich he liked, just like an emperor selecting concubines.
Qiao Jinnian sat on the grass, watching with great interest. He even let the little lion out of the chicken coop so that he could watch too.
As a result, as soon as the little lion was released, he saw scenes that were extremely inappropriate for children.
The male ostrich chose a female ostrich and began to lie on the female ostrich and rock from side to side.
Qiao Jinnian quickly covered the little lion's eyes. Oh my god, she is also a baby. Who will cover her eyes?
After a while, the male ostrich finished his work and walked away to build a nest for his future baby ostriches.
Everyone has had a good rest and is ready to set off.
Qiao Jinnian was thinking about how to take the stone pot away when he heard the "wa wah wah" sound of a baboon in the distance.
The sound sounded very intense, like a group fight.
Qiao Jinnian quickly ran over to see, worried that Dazhuang was being bullied by other baboons.
As a result, when they ran in, they saw that the new leader was really fighting with Dazhuang. Dazhuang was forced to the top of the tree and couldn't come down.
Dazhuang was carrying the little baboon on his back. The little baboon was so scared that it cried and clung to its father's back, fearing that it would fall off.
The other members could only watch from a distance, and some baboons followed the leader's instructions and also shouted "Wow wow wow".
Da Zhuang had no choice but to look at the other side of the river, find the right place, and jump down from the top of the tree. He jumped straight to the other side of the river and then looked back.
There were several crocodiles resting in the middle of the river, and the new baboon leader couldn't get through, so he gave up.
But it seems that Dazhuang has been completely expelled from the tribe.
I don’t know what happened this year and how Da Zhuang ended up in this situation.
Qiao Jinnian communicated with Ryan for a while, then pointed at Dazhuang and said, "Awoo, awoo—"
This was a baboon that Ryan also knew. He naturally knew that this baboon had a good relationship with its cub, so he tacitly agreed to let it rest here for a few more days.
Qiao Jinnian thought about staying and observing for a few days to see what Dazhuang would do. If it really didn't work, she would take Dazhuang away with her.
Well, as I said before, she is too weak and can't do anything, but she always causes trouble for Ryan.
After observing for a few days, Qiao Jinnian discovered that Dazhuang and the baboon cub lived directly on the other side of the river, facing the baboons on this side, and did not leave the tribe. So she knew that Dazhuang would not go with her.
Baboons prefer to live in groups.
Therefore, Qiao Jinnian could only prepare to set off again with the lion father.
Before they left, one baboon in the tribe couldn't stand it anymore and climbed to the top of the tree, wanting to jump to Da Zhuang. Several other members who had a good relationship with Da Zhuang also followed this baboon, wanting to leave the tribe.
One after another, they jumped over the river bank. Da Zhuang carried the little baboon on his back and watched anxiously from the side.
Finally, with a "bang", a baboon accidentally jumped into the middle of the river...
