8 Baboons
◎Why is this ostrich so silly and cute?◎
Qiao Jinnian was not panicked, of course she was only calm on the surface because she was used to being calm.
But this looked a little strange to the baboon, so the baboon stopped and lifted her up with one hand to see if she was dead and why she was not moving.
Qiao Jinnian knew that monkeys would play with other monkeys until they died. She also remembered videos of baboons catching lion cubs or leopard cubs. It said that lions and baboons were enemies and that baboons would play with lion cubs until they were bored and then eat them.
Therefore, Qiao Jinnian knew that he would not be eaten immediately, but might be killed first and then eaten.
Baboons are very fast. When there are trees, they run on them. When there are no trees, they run slower. It is unknown how much time has passed before they finally reach their destination.
Qiao Jinnian was finally put down and thrown on a tree branch.
Holding on to the branch tightly, Qiao Jinnian felt a little nauseous in her stomach. She was not a monkey, so how could she not feel dizzy after being swayed like this?
However, she hadn't eaten anything, so there was nothing to vomit out, and what she saw was too horrible.
The grassland was burned to ashes by the fire, leaving it completely charred and horrible to look at.
But the animals returned to their grasslands after the fire was extinguished.
Of course, some animals saw that there was nothing to eat here, so they had to reluctantly migrate to other places.
The baboons had no food left, so one baboon, who looked taller and stronger than the others, stood up and looked around at the charred land.
The other baboons were a little restless, especially the one who had caught her, climbing up and down looking for something to eat.
The ostriches were wandering around in circles, looking very confused and uneasy. Finally, they had no choice but to follow the other animals to find food elsewhere.
The strongest baboon should be the leader. After the ostriches left, he began to look for burnt ostrich eggs on the ground to eat.
These are eggs cooked by a big fire, but the baboon leader didn't know how to open the ostrich eggs for a moment, because cooked eggs are different from raw eggs.
Seeing that their leader had found food, the other baboons rushed forward and followed their leader's method, uncovering the burnt grass and trees on the ground to look for more ostrich eggs to eat.
Qiao Jinnian suddenly had an idea and said to the baboon that was holding her, "I'll help you open the ostrich egg!"
Of course, there was no way the baboon could understand; he responded only because she suddenly made a sound.
Qiao Jinnian didn't dare to move on the tree branch. After all, he couldn't climb trees, and he couldn't even walk. So he kept waving at the baboon, indicating that he wanted to go down.
The baboon found her annoying, so he climbed up a tree and wanted to throw her directly to the ground, but he failed and she hugged his neck tightly.
Qiao Jinnian used all her strength and hugged his neck with both hands. How could she let go? If she was thrown down, she would be crippled if not dead.
The baboon had no choice but to climb down the tree, bare its teeth at her, and make a loud "whoa-oh" sound to warn her.
When she reached the ground, she immediately let go of her hand without explaining. She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the ostrich egg.
With a "bang", the ostrich egg cracked.
The baboon thought she was so bold as to steal the leader's ostrich eggs, and he jumped up in anger and was about to hit her.
Fortunately, the leader saw that the ostrich egg had been successfully opened. Usually, he took a long time to open the egg, but he didn't expect that it could be opened directly with a big stone. So he cursed at the baboon: "Wow wow wow——"
The baboon was successfully stopped, and the other baboons also learned this quick egg-opening technique. They all followed her example and picked up stones to smash the ostrich eggs.
When everyone ate the roasted ostrich eggs, they were instantly conquered by the delicacy. Usually they ate raw bird eggs because ostriches are very powerful and almost no baboons can easily snatch ostrich eggs to eat. This time they actually ate roasted ostrich eggs!
The baboons were so satisfied with their meal that almost every baboon found an ostrich egg.
The leader had a good impression of Qiao Jinnian, and he said something to the baboon, but the baboon gave up trying to catch her.
Her presence was not strong to begin with, and she suspected that the baboon mistook her for Ryan's cub. After all, she rode on Ryan's body all day and smelled like a lion.
Although the baboon let her go, she had no way to go back and find Ryan because it was too far away from the grassland.
She looked at the endless grassland in the north and wondered how she could go back to find Ryan. It was obviously a fantasy to crawl back on her legs.
So she climbed under the tree she had just been to, sat down, and thought carefully: should she use this time to learn how to walk and then walk back slowly, or should she tame an ostrich and ride back?
Both methods are more practical than crawling back on your own, however ridiculous that may sound.
As she was thinking, Qiao Jinnian's stomach started to growl again, but she didn't dare to compete with the baboons for the ostrich eggs, for fear that the baboons would treat her as a toy and food again.
But she couldn't help but look at the fragrant ostrich eggs in the chief's hand. Oh, if the fire here was not extinguished, maybe she could use some tools to save these fires.
The baboon suddenly appeared in front of her. Perhaps because he disliked her, he bared his teeth and yelled at her: "Wa ...
With the last shout, the baboon's voice was almost broken, and then he turned into a parabola and flew out.
Things happened so fast that before Qiao Jinnian could see clearly what was happening, a group of baboons began to attack the lion opposite!
It's Ryan!
Qiao Jinnian shouted excitedly: "Ryan!"
"Roar, roar--" Ryan raised his head high, opened his mouth wide, revealing his sharp canine teeth, roared loudly, and raised his front paws high, which was an offensive posture as if to pounce and bite.
After that, the baboon group started fighting with the lion, but it was obvious that the baboons were still afraid of the lion. They kept screaming and their formation was broken up.
Ryan seemed to know how to quickly make his opponents surrender during a group fight. He would aim at one and bite it to death by the throat, thus achieving the purpose of instant deterrence.
So, at this time, Ryan locked onto the baboon that he had just knocked out and was baring its teeth at Qiao Jinnian, ready to hit it with one strike.
Qiao Jinnian was not worried that Ryan could not win, but baboons were not actually on the lion's menu, and in the end the leader let her go. There was no need to bite one to death and create an irreversible situation.
Baboons are very vengeful. If a baboon comes and takes her away again next time, it will be a waste of time.
So, when Ryan bit her, Qiao Jinnian shouted loudly, "Ryan, stop!"
She stretched out her hand and waved at him, indicating that she wanted to stop the fight. This disrupted the rhythm, and the baboon leader actually realized that she was there to stop the fight, and cleverly stood behind her.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
Fortunately, although Ryan was huge in size, she was agile and quickly stopped attacking. She roared in dissatisfaction at the group of baboons behind her.
Qiao Jinnian didn't know how to explain her meaning to Ryan. She wanted them to stop fighting, but she couldn't express it. In desperation, she simply crawled over, hugged the leader in her arms, and hugged his waist. In fact, she originally wanted to hug his shoulders, but the baboon leader was much taller than her, so this meant to show that she and the leader were good brothers.
Baboon leader: "..."
Ryan: “…”
This was the first time the baboon leader was hugged like this. The other baboons were dumbfounded, and Ryan was even more confused. What kind of brain circuit was this?
In fact, this inspiration came from a dog video that Qiao Jinnian watched. It is said that in order to prevent the dog from barking at strangers, the owner put his arm around the stranger's shoulders, indicating that the owner and the stranger are good friends, so that the dog will understand that the stranger cannot be attacked.
However, standing before her was the king of the grassland—a gigantic lion.
The leader's hair on the top of his head was thicker than that of other baboons, and Qiao Jinnian actually saw a speechless expression on his face.
Fortunately, after her interruption, the two sides stopped fighting temporarily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Jinnian quickly crawled over, pulled Ryan's front paws, and after he lay down, she climbed onto his back.
Ryan carried her on his back and walked north, turning back and giving a warning roar to the baboon group as he walked.
Lying on Ryan's back, Qiao Jinnian finally breathed a sigh of relief. That was great. She thought she had to wait until she learned to walk or tamed an ostrich before she could go back to find Ryan.
Holding Ryan's mane tightly, Qiao Jinnian rubbed his back and said with some attachment: "That's great, Ryan, thank you for coming to me!"
On the way back, Qiao Jinnian also saw a few ostriches like headless flies. They probably lost their homes and all their ostrich eggs overnight. These ostriches didn't know where to go for a while and just looked around aimlessly for food.
When they saw the lion running towards them, they were not afraid and just ran aside.
Generally speaking, large beasts will not fight with ostriches. After all, the cost-effectiveness of ostriches as food is too low. They run too fast and their toes are very strong. One kick from them can cause internal injuries to a lion, which is not worth the loss.
When Ryan returned to the territory, the ostriches followed him. After all, they had lost their homes and had nowhere good to go.
And they themselves found food on the dry grass.
Only herbivores migrate to the north every year because they need fresh aquatic plants. These ostriches usually stay in the same place.
However, Qiao Jinnian clearly remembered that a documentary about lions seemed to say that lions always follow herbivores because that is the lion's mobile food. She had some vague guesses in her mind, that is, maybe Ryan didn't leave here because he needed to protect her?
So, Qiao Jinnian pointed to the north again and said, "Lian, let's go to the north and chase the herbivorous animals."
This time, Ryan looked towards the north, as if he had finally figured it out, and ran north with her on his back.
Unexpectedly, the ostriches also followed for some reason.
Qiao Jinnian: Hmm, why does this ostrich look a little silly and cute?
