Chapter 11 South China Tiger (XI)
The four little kids in the Satangju family successfully survived the coldest snowstorms in the winter and are growing stronger day by day.
The humble old father Zhen'an finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and was allowed by Shatangju to get close to his biological baby.
It’s a pity that Zhen’an is as cowardly as ever.
When it comes to the fat and strong little tiger, he dares to flatten it, round it up, pick it up and sprint a thousand meters.
Now, Zhen An was frightened and at a loss as to what to do when faced with a newborn baby that was not even as big as his own paws and was too weak to take care of itself.
Just three minutes after entering the hole, it rolled out smoothly, fearing that it would accidentally step on one of them to death.
Tiger cubs are naturally afraid of adult male tigers and dare not approach their old fathers.
In comparison, the energetic big brother next door is more popular with little Penghu.
When the sugar oranges left the nest to hunt, the four little kids hung neatly on Yu Yiyun. They used their brother's ears and tail as teething toys, chewing on him until he was covered in milky saliva.
Yu Yijun’s body was covered with cats. She lay there dazed, bubbling with happiness.
Cute little tigers, I can pet four of them~
Who is envious?
After the full month, the four little kids started playing around more and more vigorously, and even formed groups to 'fight'.
For tiger cubs, fighting is an important part of growth.
The future kings of the jungle will slowly learn the most basic fighting and hunting skills while playing and fighting, and better adapt to the wild environment.
Unfortunately, when Yu Yiyun Husheng started, this stage had already passed.
Even if he goes through the full moon stage, because he is an only child, he has no brothers or sisters to play and fight with.
Thinking of this, the little fat tiger showed a longing look and stretched out his paws to play with the tiger sister.
Sister Tiger was gently pushed, rolled several times, and fell into a puddle of cat food.
She struggled to get up and took great effort to get back to her brother.
Yu Yiyun felt distressed and dared not push it any further.
After all, he was already a mighty tiger!
Now it’s extremely strong!
The mighty and powerful tiger, with his head held high and his belly puffed out, walked out of the cave arrogantly.
The next second, they were ambushed by the enemy tiger.
Zhen'an rushed over from the cave, held down the little tiger, and played with him with his claws retracted.
The thoughtful adult male tiger found out that the little fat tiger wanted a playmate, so he decided to do it himself.
Meow meow fist, attack!
"Ahhh!" The little tiger was pressed to the ground. He bit a mouthful of snow, got up, and ran after Zhen'an, howling.
Zhen'an ran and ran, and then jumped onto a tree in a few seconds, and then he lowered his tail and wagged it arrogantly.
Like an automatic cat toy, it seduces tiger cubs that can't climb trees.
"Ahhh!" Yu Yijun was so angry that he scratched the tree madly and cursed in a very dirty way.
Seeing that the little fat tiger was really angry, Zhen'an jumped down from the tree, rubbed his big fat son affectionately, and began to teach him to climb the tree with his claws.
This is not the first time Zhenan has taught the skill of 'tree climbing'.
But no matter how he taught, this shame of the cat world could never learn.
Some tigers, unless they work hard, will never realize that they are useless.
After countless demonstrations in Zhen'an, Yu Yiyun finally mastered the trick.
He knew to put his center of gravity on his upper body, and to hold the tree trunk tightly with his claws. He used his hind legs to stabilize his body, and used his strong front legs to push himself up.
OK!
It will work this time!
Yu Yiyun leaped, and the result was—
Still couldn't climb three meters.
The leopard cat and lynx, which are also members of the cat family, jumped up the trees and laughed wildly.
Yu Yiyun was so angry that she broke down and screamed wildly.
What are you laughing at?
It’s amazing that a kitten can climb three meters!
Zhen'an was guarding under the tree and saw Xiaohu slowly slide down again and fall hard on his butt.
There was obvious confusion on the handsome big cat's face:
Hey, you're not a fake cat, are you?
I've never seen anyone so stupid.
Yu Yiyun: [Tiger Crying.jpg]
In the evening, Fat Tiger, who had been fooling around outside, had enough fun and walked back to Mulan's territory on the thick snow, leaving behind plum blossom paw prints along the way.
"Awoo~~~" After returning home, Yu Yiyun greeted her aunt from afar and found that the house was very lively.
The rewilding team airdropped several fat goats. I drooled just by smelling them. It was like Chinese New Year.
Wait, remove the word 'like'!
Counting the days, the Spring Festival is just around the corner.
The return of spring is a day worth celebrating for both humans and animals.
The spring brings life back to life, which means there is plenty of prey.
It also means that Yu Yiyun, who was born in summer, is one step closer to becoming the "Tiger King who conquers the jungle."
Although wild animals don't have the concept of "New Year", Yu Yiyun does.
For humans, the Chinese New Year represents bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, and represents family reunion.
People who have been busy with life all year long will get together during the New Year.
Thinking of this, Yu Yiyun stopped, raised his head and looked far away at the invisible territory in the east.
Winter has passed and spring has come. Kang Kang has been away for four months.
Yu Yiyun still remembers that the veterinarian said that if she recovered well after the operation, she would be able to return to the mountains in another six months.
Two months later, when spring comes and flowers bloom.
Can I reunite with my mother as I wish?
Just as Xiaohu was looking at his home, Kang Kang, whom he was worried about, was lying in a specially customized iron cage for recuperation in the rescue area, with his eyes closed and refusing to eat or drink.
The staff at the rescue station came to the big iron cage for the third time today to check the trough filled with fresh meat.
"Kan Kang still doesn't want to eat?"
"Alas." The staff on duty sighed and shook his head, "Let alone eating, I didn't even drink water today."
Kang Kang is a semi-wild tiger. Before it was reincarnated into the wild, it had a relatively mild temperament and would never go on a hunger strike for no reason.
Although some tigers have strong personalities and after adapting to the wild environment, they will show great aggressiveness when they are put in cages by humans and express their anger by fasting.
However, Kang Kang's behavior was more like... depression than anger.
She didn't scream or scratch the cage frantically.
Every day he didn't eat or drink, and just lay quietly in the cold corner of the iron cage, letting his life slip away.
When you get closer, you can hear dull whimpering sounds, like sad crying.
The reason why Kang Kang is so concerned is obvious:
Her child was still in the cave, waiting for her to go back and feed him.
When I left, the baby was only three and a half months old.
If the cubs at this stage lose their mother, they will die.
"Kang Kang, eat something so your hind legs can get better quickly."
"Yes, yes, after you recover, you can return to Qinling Mountains!"
The staff were really worried about Kang Kang and squatted beside the cage and tried their best to comfort him, but unfortunately it had little effect.
Even though her mouth had dried up from talking, the emaciated tigress still lay there motionless, having lost the will to live, and her fur was no longer as bright as before.
Several people stared at each other and scratched their heads anxiously.
If this continues, Kang Kang won’t be able to survive until the end of the year, let alone return to the mountains.
Suddenly, a staff member caught a glimpse of the tablet on the table playing a live video, and an idea suddenly occurred to him.
He held up the tablet and called Kang Kang through the iron cage.
"Kang Kang, look here!" He waved the tablet in his hand, pointed at the pig inside, and asked expectantly, "Do you know him?"
Kang Kang moved slowly and saw a small dot on the tablet through the gap in the railing, but he didn't react.
When the staff saw her looking at the screen, they quickly adjusted the image to the maximum so that Kang Kang could clearly see the tiger cub catching chickens in the snow.
"Here, this is your baby. He's grown so fat... Pah! He's grown so big!"
"Kang Kang, your baby is a smart kid who takes good care of himself. After you got hurt, he went to find your sister Mulan and pestered her to adopt him."
"Now that he has Sister Lan's protection, he can walk all over Hexi!"
Kang Kang opened his eyes wide and stared at the little tiger on the screen that was jumping up and down and looked particularly lively.
Wild animals rarely rely on vision, and usually identify their own kind by smell.
Kang Kang miraculously recognized that the little tiger was his own child.
Juju is chubby and looks lively and healthy.
The baby is still alive.
Kang Kang rubbed the screen lovingly across the railing.
Upon seeing this, the staff gritted their teeth and passed the newly bought tablet through the gap so that Kang Kang could see the little fat tiger playing happily in the snow more clearly.
"Kang Kang, eat more meat. Only when your wounds heal can you protect the cubs."
"Yeah, little Fatty Tiger must miss his mommy a lot too!"
Kang Kang lowered his head and carefully licked the tiger's face on the screen.
A few minutes later, she got up after a long time.
After the surgery, his legs grew back flesh and blood to support his weak body.
As the staff looked expectant, the tigress walked slowly to the trough, opened her mouth and ate in big mouthfuls.
