Chapter 12 South China Tiger (XII)
Yu Yiyun has a secret that even her aunt hasn't discovered.
He secretly opened up a small private space of his own in his den.
Every day he would draw the word "positive" on the stone wall with his claws to calculate the days until the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, Yu Yiyun took out all the hay in the nest and the uneaten frozen meat in the "natural refrigerator" as a New Year's Eve dinner, and distributed it to the wild rabbits in the mountains and the garbage collecting allies.
After warming up, the natural refrigerator will melt quickly.
Moreover, picky cats don’t want to eat frozen meat if there is fresh prey.
There is an aunt who is the best cook in Qinling Mountains, and she is so willful~!
Smelling the food, the hungry beasts came out in droves and quickly gathered together.
The packed lynx that I haven't seen for a long time has thick and dense winter fur. It looks like a little lion from a distance. It must feel very good to rub it.
Yu Yiyun rubbed it secretly, but unfortunately her flesh was too thick and she didn't feel anything special.
It's better to rua yourself~
The leopard, which usually lives in high-altitude mountains and rarely comes to the tiger's territory, showed up because it was extremely hungry.
Baobao was once expelled by Mulan, leaving a shadow on his life as a cat.
It jumped down from the height with a stealthy cat-like step, peeking out its head from the rock, and then it grabbed the tip of the chicken wing and ran away.
Even so, Mulan still chased him and bit him hard on the butt, causing him to meow in pain.
"Ahhh~" Yu Yijun tried to stop the fight halfheartedly.
Auntie, it’s New Year’s Day, please let Leopard go.
Wait until after the New Year to bite again!
Leopard: Thank you, living king of hell.
On the first New Year's Eve of Hu's life, Yu Yiyun felt truly happy with a warm home and a powerful aunt by her side.
Although we can’t see the gorgeous fireworks in the deep mountains and old forests, we can still arrange the Spring Festival Gala~
Fat Tiger, who attaches great importance to ritual, spreads out his short legs and runs around Mulan in circles, singing "Unforgettable Tonight" in his mouth.
“Awoo~Awoo~Awoo~Awoo~”
"Oh!" Auntie, Happy New Year!
"Roar." Mulan was unable to sleep due to the noise and responded by perfunctorily wagging her tail.
In fact, she didn't understand the tiger cub's "heavenly singing" at all, nor did she intend to understand it.
Silly kids do stupid things every day, just get used to it.
I can’t throw away the baby I raised myself.
What else can I do? I just spoil her.
.
At the beginning of the new year, Yu Yiyun and Shatangju's four little kids rolled around carefree and all grew a little bigger.
They watched the grass turn green, the bushes turn green, and the trees in the jungle begin to sprout.
The bare mountains gradually turned green.
The animals that had been hiding in nooks and crannies to avoid the cold came out of their nests to greet the spring full of vitality.
One day, Yu Yiyun went to the river alone to drink water and ran into three black bears, one big and two small. The little cat was so scared that it ran away.
"Ahhh!" There's a bear! Help!
Although bear cubs are still as cute as tiger babies.
Yu Yiyun did not dare to get close, for fear that she would become the bear's first meal after waking up from hibernation.
In terms of combat power and hunting ability, black bears, which feed on plant fruits, fish, and small and medium-sized animals, are certainly not as good as tigers.
However, in terms of size, an adult black bear is larger than a tiger, and can even weigh more than 500 kilograms.
What's more, the big bear has two cubs as a bonus.
A mother tiger with cubs is extremely ferocious, and a mother bear with cubs is no less ferocious, with her fighting power greatly doubled.
Yu Yiyun had a strong desire to survive. He ran very far away, retreated to a safe distance, and then turned back to look at the cute baby bear.
Judging from their body shape, the two baby bears and Sugar Orange’s milk ball were born at about the same time, during the coldest time of winter.
However, the situation of black bears and tigers is far worse.
As one of the few warm-blooded animals that hibernate, bear cubs born in the cold winter have the highest survival rate.
Before a pregnant bear hibernates, she will eat enough food to ensure that she and her cubs can survive the winter.
Then, it will look for a safe place to hibernate, undisturbed by any living creature.
In a state half asleep and half awake, the mother bear gave birth to her cubs quietly through painless labor.
Before spring comes, it will stay in the nest and consume the fat accumulated before winter to feed its babies.
In this way, the little bear will grow up smoothly to the age where it can run and jump in the warm embrace of its mother.
When spring comes and flowers bloom, I can go out with my mother to look for food.
“Ohoo——!”
The black bear on the other side of the river noticed that Yu Yijun had been looking at this side, and it roared vigilantly to protect its cub.
Judging from her reaction, she seems to be very afraid of the tiger.
Oh, how can I not be afraid?
For more than half a century, black bears have dominated the Qinling Mountains, and there was no one capable of fighting them anywhere.
The black bear, the king of the mountain, is so ferocious that it even looks down on large cats like the leopard.
Until the former ruler of the mountains and forests, the South China tiger, returned to this land.
The average lifespan of a black bear is only 20-25 years old, and this generation of black bears has no memory of tigers.
At first, they didn't take the South China tiger seriously, as it was not much bigger than a leopard.
Oh, just a bigger kitten~
Until a male black bear invaded the territory of the South China tiger and provoked the territorial tiger face to face.
It was the most ferocious and largest black bear in the mountains, and every beast in the forest knew it.
During the breeding season, it will track down the female bear and use violence to force her into submission.
Even if the mother bear has cubs, the male bear will not give up.
They will also bite their young to death, leaving only their own bloodline.
When it entered the male tiger's territory east of the river bank, it found a large cat smaller than itself, and without hesitation pounced on it to fight and snatch the food that the male tiger had just hunted.
At that time, the "Return of the Tigers" program had been implemented for less than half a year, and many tigers had to rely on airdropped supplies from the rewilding team to barely survive.
Everyone believed that a male tiger with a declining genotype and not yet in its prime physical form would definitely not be able to defeat a battle-hardened black bear.
Unexpectedly, the next day the morning light shone on the earth.
The black bear's blood was smeared on the edge of the male tiger's territory, silently deterring all the black bears that coveted the tiger's territory.
'The real overlord of Qinling is back.'
Overnight, black bears, which had lost their natural enemies for half a century, recalled the fear of being dominated by tigers in the past.
So much so that when the mother bear sees the underage tiger cub, her first reaction is to protect the cub, and she does not dare to take the king of beasts as prey.
"Ao..." Yu Yijun called out weakly, wanting to clarify to it: not every tiger has the ability to hunt black bears.
At least, Yu Yiyun can't do it now.
The reason why the big black bear suffered a crushing defeat was mainly because of his bad luck.
Why steal anyone else's prey? Why do you have to steal the Qinling Tiger King's prey?
Why don't you ask around? Among the big cats in the world known as the "King of Tigers", which one is a good person?
Before the tiger king was released, he pinned down and beat the Northeastern golden tabby cat, which was two times bigger than himself.
The Siberian tiger, once considered to be the most powerful tiger in existence, was beaten so hard that it voluntarily crawled into the cage and howled to complain to the keeper.
Thinking of this, Yu Yiyun faced the east, stretched his neck and looked ahead with a look of longing and awe.
Tiger King...
I'm so envious, I also want to be a mighty tiger like that~!
.
When the forsythia flowers bloomed all over the hills, little Fat Tiger had grown to eight months old.
Eight months later, two happy events happened.
First thing: He finally learned to climb a tree!
After falling down countless times, Yu Yiyun finally mastered the art of tree climbing and could easily conquer any big tree in the jungle.
To celebrate, Yu Yiyun climbed to the top of the tallest tree in the jungle and stood on a branch to overlook the mountains.
His gaze fell further west and he saw a tigress eating steak in the southwest of Shatangju's territory. It looked like she had just finished a date.
The other half of the cow had just entered the stomachs of Yu Yiyun and Shatangju.
“…”
Yu Yijun lowered his head and silently looked at the Sea King Zhen'an who finally dared to play with the four little kids.
You are worthy of being the time management master in the tiger world.
[Admire, admire.jpg]
The second thing: After Yu Yiyun worked hard day after day, forgetting to eat and sleep, and risking being overthrown by Mulan.
The positioning collar made of nine layers of cowhide was finally bitten through a small half.
According to the progress, it should take another two months to bite it off completely.
Once, Mulan felt an itch on her neck and randomly tickled it with her claws.
The positioning collar snapped and broke off from the crack.
Broken, disconnected?
Is it so casual?
Yu Yiyun stared blankly with her eyes wide open, her pupils trembling.
Also broken was the tiger cub's fragile self-esteem.
"Awooo..." The little fat tiger buried his face in his aunt's belly and fell into autism.
Hard work is worthless in front of talent!
