Chapter 94
[Hahahaha, if you want to take care of your cubs, one will run faster than the other. ]
[I finally have the chance to go out for a run, so I have to run away quickly.]
Wen Youning rubbed the head of the South China tiger cub. The little guy didn't seem to know what was going on. "They are all gone. Just follow me."
Generally no animal would dare to enter the core area of the tiger's territory, but it would be too dangerous to leave the cub alone in the cave.
Fortunately, Wen Youning was wearing a coat. She zipped it up and put the cub inside, securely.
Wen Youning: "Come on, raise your head."
"Woo?" Latte raised his head, his eyes following Wen Youning.
Wen Youning seized the opportunity to pull up the zipper, gently bent it to the left, and the zipper was locked in this position.
It is right at the lower jaw of a South China tiger cub. If it wants to look outside, it can rest its head on it without getting tired.
Wen Youning adjusted the fan on her neck, angled it slightly downward so that it could blow on Latte, "Okay, let's go."
Latte only showed a small head, "Ah!"
hair!
The yogurt is already waiting downstairs.
Maomao was digging the ground with his claws next to the broken wall. When he heard some noise above, he looked up.
Wen Youning: "Come on, Maomao and Latte, learn some hunting techniques. Let's see who can learn first and hunt on their own."
The little cub cried and nodded in her arms.
Yogurt walked in front and glanced at Maomao when passing by. Maomao immediately gave up his grand plan of digging a hole and followed him.
"I can't get too close to them when they are hunting, otherwise I might not be able to take care of them during the live broadcast." Wen Youning said to the fans in the live broadcast room while adjusting her clothes.
After all, prey is not stupid enough to just stand there and wait to be eaten.
Given the running speed of the South China tiger, regardless of the terrain, she would have to drive to catch up.
In addition, the reserve is full of natural plants, making it impossible to drive a car. If a tank comes and damages any protected plants, the car will be confiscated.
There are no driving conditions.
The yogurts have a clear direction. This territory belongs to them. They know exactly where the passing animals and the animals living in the territory are.
This should be the first time for the South China tiger cub to come out since its birth, and the first time it has gone so far away from the cave.
South China tiger cubs of this age are usually still growing slowly in the cave.
Latte's eyes were full of curiosity, and he looked around with his round eyes.
The surrounding trees and growing plants are similar.
There was no obvious difference on the road when we came here. There were ups and downs and winding roads, and I didn't know how far I had walked.
I only knew that when I looked back, I could no longer see the South China tiger's cave.
"Woo..." Yogurt, who was walking in front, stopped.
Wen Youning also stopped and asked, "Are we there yet?"
She subconsciously looked forward and saw the faint horns of animals behind the tree trunks in the distant woods.
The shape of this horn... looks like an antelope?
Wen Youning found a tree and hid behind it, "Come on, yogurt."
【Come on yogurt! 】
[Live broadcast equipment, I advise you to be kind and fly up to the sky to take a panoramic view immediately. 】
[No, sister, there are branches above us, and we can’t get them down by pulling them up.]
[I can’t see anything here! ]
…
Antelopes mostly live in groups. The antelopes in the reserve are similar in size to goats and have no beards.
Maomao's eyes widened.
'What is this?'
Wen Youning tilted her head. It sounded like Maomao had... never seen an antelope.
But when a tiger looks for food, it definitely doesn't follow the instructions in the textbook. It simply doesn't catch whatever is edible according to the picture.
It is very simple to judge whether it is food or an opponent. If you can beat it, you can eat it.
If you can't beat them, you have to run away.
Latte in Wen Youning's arms had already started scratching the tree with his little paws. Suddenly, his ears trembled and he stretched his neck to look out.
The South China tiger quietly shortened the distance between itself and the herd of antelopes.
Walking on the grass is silent, and the breeze blowing in your face will not bring the smell to the antelope herd.
When the distance was enough, Yogurt suddenly rushed out.
The sudden appearance of the tiger instantly caused the antelope herd to panic.
The South China tiger hunts silently.
The cub, however, raised his head and cried out, "Awooo!"
As if infected by the passionate hunting scene, it struggled with its little claws to get out of Wen Youning's arms, and then joined the battle bravely like its uncle.
Wen Youning smiled and pushed the little tiger back, "Wait until you grow up before going. It's still too dangerous now."
[This little group is quite arrogant. ]
【The tiger's aggressiveness is in its blood.】
The little tiger had no strength to struggle in front of Wen Youning, and that struggle was easily suppressed.
Wen Youning turned her head to look at Maomao beside her. Maomao was licking his paw and looked over at her in confusion.
“…”
“…”
There was a brief silence after their eyes met.
Wen Youning raised her hand and pushed Maomao out, "You come on too!"
"Ah?" Maomao was pushed unexpectedly and staggered down the slope.
The appearance of another South China tiger made the antelopes, which were already fleeing in all directions, even more panicked.
At the hunting scene, Maomao quickly got into the state and set his sights on the antelope closest to him.
Wen Youning: "See, I told you that Maomao is just slow to react, but when the real fight starts..."
Before he could finish his words of praise, Maomao jumped onto the antelope's back and rolled forward with the antelope. After landing, the antelope swung its limbs and flew for a distance, then stood up and ran away.
"...Unexpected." Wen Youning watched Maomao quickly adjust his state, "It's targeting again--"
The antelope kicked hard with its hind legs, and Maomao retreated in a hurry.
Yogurt rushed over to help.
"Is it, is it about my explanation?" Wen Youning kept silent. Logically speaking, from such a far distance, Maomao should not be able to hear her explanation, or...his focus is on hunting and he should not notice her.
[It turns out that Maomao has some real skills. ]
[Well, it's a little bit, but it's really not even a little bit more. ]
[The breeder said nothing, and just kept giving gifts to express his apology.]
[As long as the child dares to go to school, it's fine. How can this not be considered progress? ]
[If Latte hadn't been held down by Teacher Wen, it would have been the first to rush forward.]
…
After the battle.
Suo Niu dragged the dead antelope, and Mao Mao, who followed behind, also caught one. Although it was Suo Niu who helped catch it, it also put in some effort. But compared to Suo Niu's ease, it was bruised and had an obvious wound on its left front leg.
Wen Youning rubbed their heads one by one and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Then he stretched out his hand towards Maomao, "Come, let me see your paws."
Maomao was still gasping for breath after leaving the antelope behind. The hunt had consumed a lot of his energy.
For Maomao, this is considered intense exercise.
Before Maomao could move, Yogurt's paw reached out to him.
Wen Youning curled her eyes, grabbed Yogurt's paw with her backhand and squeezed it, "You are not injured, you don't need to see it."
“Woo!”
Gotta watch!
"Haha, okay, okay... take a look." Wen Youning held the tiger's paw and lifted it up. After a brief inspection, she raised her index finger and poked its pad.
The South China tiger instantly displays its claws, and observing the tiger's claws up close gives a very oppressive feeling.
Wen Youning pinched it as if it were a game. With a light press, the claws popped out. When she let go, the claws turned back to being fluffy.
Yogurt came over to lick her, Wen Youning raised her hand and covered her kiss with her palm, "It all tastes like blood, don't lick it."
"Roar!" Yogurt growled and tilted his head as if to bite her.
Wen Youning was not in a hurry either. He rubbed the tiger with one hand. When he turned around to look at Maomao, it had already eaten him.
Hunting the animals by themselves will boost the tiger's self-confidence and give it a sense of accomplishment.
It is the winner's right to enjoy his spoils.
It can eat an entire antelope.
Seeing this, Wen Youning simply sat down on the spot and said, "You can eat some yogurt first. Milk and coffee have also gone hunting, so there is no need to drag them back."
Latte stretched out his claws to make his presence felt, smelling blood and trying to get out.
Wen Youning let the cub out. With Yogurt around, she could stop it from running around.
Latte walked with his short legs, crawled through the weeds that were almost as tall as himself, and sniffed beside his uncle.
Between its uncle and food, it chose... to open its mouth and bite its uncle's tail.
But Yogurt was prepared. He turned his tail and pulled it away from the South China tiger cub's mouth.
Latte bit into nothing, blinked, and licked his nose.
[It seems this isn’t the first time. ]
[Tell me, have you ever bitten the tiger's tail at home? ]
[Yogurt didn't even need to turn his head, he knew what was happening behind him just by listening to the sound. ]
[The evil little fur ball bites the tail plan! ]
Latte, who didn't get a bite, didn't react at all and turned to go for the meat.
"You can't bite it." Wen Youning reached out to pull it, but the little guy's teeth were so weak that it couldn't bite off any meat.
She felt her pockets and found that she didn't have her backpack with her, nor did she have a knife in her pocket, so it would be difficult to tear the meat with her bare hands.
Wen Youning held Yogurt's tail and wrapped it around her wrist a few times, "Yogurt, help me tear off some meat, just a little bit will be enough."
Yogurt put one of his front paws on the antelope and listened as she tore off a piece.
Wen Youning pinched the tiger cub's neck and lifted it up, "Come on, this is yours."
"Awoo! Woo woo?" The little South China tiger opened its mouth to yell, but its mouth was blocked by meat. It lay on the ground and struggled with the meat.
"It's a good start." Wen Youning went forward to help it check its paws while it was eating.
"Roar!" Maomao bared his teeth while protecting his food.
Before the bared mouth could open completely, Yogurt's claws had already landed on its head.
With a thump.
Maomao's eyes are clearer than those of a baby cub that has just opened its eyes.
Restart your brain all at once.
IQ has regained its high ground.
Wen Youning checked its claws and found that it was probably scratched by an antelope horn. She just needed to go back and sprinkle some medicine on it.
In fact, with the self-healing ability of small animals, this little wound can be healed by just licking it.
But it would be safer to take some medicine.
Wen Youning leaned against a big tree, stretched his sore neck, and looked up and noticed the live broadcast equipment stuck on the branch.
"How did you get up there?" Wen Youning stood up and used his trekking pole to push the live broadcast equipment down.
In the lush woods, live broadcast equipment is still a bit inconvenient.
Wen Youning adjusted the height of the live broadcast equipment to prevent it from getting stuck while walking.
When a tiger eats, it doesn't have to worry about other animals coming over to snatch its food and start a fight.
Wen Youning rubbed the tiger's tail. They didn't eat quickly, and the cub took a long time to chew a piece of meat.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's connect to the microphone."
As soon as the microphone connection channel was opened, the first "Strawberry Bear" popped up and applied for the microphone connection.
“Teacher Wen!” The girl’s voice came out with a suppressed scream. “Ahhh, I’m number one! I’ve been watching your live broadcast for a long time, and you finally connected to me!”
Wen Youning nodded slightly, "Hello."
"Hey, hello." Strawberry Bear finished laughing and then remembered something. He said awkwardly, "Um... Teacher Wen, none of my animals are sick, but——!"
As if she was afraid that Wen Youning would think she was just grabbing the quota and hang up on her, Strawberry Bear said very quickly: "I have two cats at home, a calico and a Maine Coon. Then they get jealous. Every time I hug and cuddle with one of them, the other one gets jealous and comes over to pull the cat in my arms."
"It doesn't matter which one it is. I can't hug either one anyway."
Although this problem made Strawberry Bear a little distressed, he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
Who knows the feeling of being fought over by two kittens?
[You're here to show off, right? 】
[The kitty is jealous of you, wow——the kitty is really envious. 】
[Sister, just hold two! I will teach you the method of sucking two cats at the same time. ]
Strawberry Bear smiled and said, "Ah, actually being taken so seriously by the kitten still bothers me in my daily life."
"Mainly, I'm afraid they will fight, quarrel, and hurt each other when I'm not around." They are all cats she raises, and she would feel sad if any of them got hurt.
Wen Youning asked: "Did the two cats come home at the same time?"
"No, I adopted the Maine Coon cat first, and then the calico cat. It's been almost three years since I adopted it." Strawberry Bear would celebrate the kitten's birthday, and he regarded the day he adopted the calico cat as Sanhua's birthday, so he remembered the time very clearly.
Strawberry Bear held Sanhua on his lap and said, "Come, say hello to Teacher Wen."
"Meow!"
Help!
The Maine Coon heard the sound and ran out from the room, "Meow!"
Let it go!
It opened its mouth and bit Sanhua's paw.
'Meow is here to save you!'
"Look, look, here you go again. I'm so jealous of you." Strawberry Bear tapped the Maine Coon's head. He was afraid that the Maine Coon would bite the calico cat, so he had to let go.
The calico cat jumped onto the sofa as soon as it landed, and the Maine Coon followed.
'Run, run.'
Strawberry Bear stopped him, saying, "Don't chase it and hit it."
"They... are not fighting." Wen Youning listened to her inner voice, adjusted the translation and said, "They are a pair."
Strawberry Bear: "Huh? No."
"Yes." Wen Youning said firmly, "We are in love."
"Ah???" Strawberry Bear had an expression of 'when did this happen'.
Wen Youning continued, "It's not because it's jealous that it bites the Sanhua in your arms, it's because it doesn't want you to hug its wife."
The corners of Strawberry Bear's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything for a while, as if he was trying to understand the meaning of Wen Youning's words.
Why did I suddenly seem to be unable to understand my own native language?
【Why aren’t you smiling? 】
[The smile won't disappear, it will just transfer to my face haha. 】
[OK, I like this reversal. ]
[Look at you, you misunderstood the cat couple. 】
…
Wen Youning: "The two kittens have a good relationship. If you hug one, the other will be jealous."
This kind of jealousy may be different from what Strawberry Bear understands as jealousy.
"That's enough, Mr. Wen!" Strawberry Bear smiled uglier than crying, "That's enough for the translation."
It would be impolite to translate further.
Died of laughter.
I don’t really want to know what cats are thinking.
What's there to be curious about?
Finally, these cats are really pretentious!
Strawberry Bear crossed his arms and said, "Huh! When did they become so close?"
The Maine Coon cat wrapped its fluffy tail around the calico and lay beside it, licking its fur.
Strawberry Bear said: "It must be a fake to confuse me, trying to trick me into giving Can Can a piece of food!"
【Suddenly I remembered a very popular game on the Internet, which uses "I, he, she, love" to make sentences. The correct answer is "he loves her". Then someone asked: "What about me?" Answer: "What does it have to do with you?"】
[Hahahaha, that's right! What does it have to do with you! ]
[It’s just a dying fantasy of a star who is not liked by cats. 】
…
Wen Youning chuckled, "Yeah."
Strawberry Bear sniffed, "Teacher Wen, your 'hmm' is more hurtful than anything else you just said."
"Forget it! I just want to hug you!" Strawberry Bear picked up one with each hand, "You can lick each other's fur while hugging each other."
“Meow!”
"Meow!"
“Eh hey hey? Stop hitting—!”
'Buzz buzz buzz'
There was an echo on the black screen.
Strawberry Bear hurried down to the wheat field.
Wen Youning folded her five fingers together and pinched the tail in her palm.
Two antelopes were enough to feed both of them.
Wen Youning picked up the cub who was still struggling with the small piece of meat, "You are still young now. When you grow up a little, in about three months, you can eat meat by yourself."
Three months is also the time when the breeding base starts feeding small pieces of meat to the cubs.
The small latte was a little off.
Wen Youning put the cub back in her pocket, stood up and stretched, "Is that the end of today's live broadcast? I'd like to say good night to everyone in advance, and see you tomorrow!"
…
The live broadcast room went black, and the comments were: [? I wonder if the first half of the sentence is a question? ]
[Damn it, I had already typed my disagreement with the broadcast in the chat box, and I didn’t have time to post it.]
[It’s too fast! 】
---
The temperature kept dropping.
As the hot summer air disappears, the air brings a hint of chill.
Huangling is a simple mountain range. To the left, there are four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. To the right, it is humid and mild, with four seasons like spring.
But the temperature drops uniformly at night.
The coat on Wen Youning also changed from the protective suit at the beginning to a fleece-lined protective suit.
In autumn, the fruit trees in the wild are lush and full of fruits.
Just...can’t eat it.
It’s not that we can’t eat to protect the plants, it’s simply because they don’t taste good.
Wen Youning stayed in Huangling and taught Maomao how to hunt with Suo Ran. They walked all over the surrounding area and tasted all the wild fruits and grasses they could pick.
She held the slightly sweet grass in her mouth and sat on a high place to watch Maomao hunting below. "It seems that Maomao has now fully adapted to the life in Huangling."
It had already undergone systematic training when it came in, so it would be a little uncomfortable and difficult to integrate into an unfamiliar environment when it first arrived.
Once you relax, integrating into the environment is no big deal.
Wen Youning said: "I have good news to share with you. My visa has been approved."
She waved her phone in front of the live broadcast device and said, "Check your email."
The difficulty of visa application varies by country. Some places are very strict and have a high rejection rate, but Baishi is a small place.
The local economy is in a downturn and is supported entirely by the tourism industry, so it is still easy to get a tourist visa.
[Ahhh, can we go play with the white lion now?! ]
[I know where it is. I went there once before and the white lions have already established their own pride.]
[The white lion has always been the star lion king in the local area. Many people from abroad buy tickets to see it. I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but when I shout, the white lion will look at me when I speak. ]
[When is Teacher Wen going to go? ]
…
"Hmm..." Wen Youning thought for a moment, "I have to go home first and wait until the weather cools down before going."
It's warm over there in White Lion.
"Oh?" The yogurt on my lap raised his head.
Where to go?
"Go find a friend." Wen Youning rubbed its head back and forth with a comb. Yogurt narrowed his eyes, "Woo...?"
Wen Youning said, "It's time for me to go home too."
She curled her lips and said, "I've replaced the solar charger with a new one. It's very good in waterproofing and lightning protection. Put the iPad in the hole and don't take it out. I can call you often in the future."
[The official moved quickly this time, give me a bonus. 】
【Teacher Fan Wen is so proud! If someone is bullied, others will call for help, but Teacher Wen will call Tiger. Wow, it's so cool just thinking about it.】
"This power bank is not official." Wen Youning took a full picture of the power bank. There was no logo on it. "Let us thank the Lin Group for its generous sponsorship!"
. : [As long as you like it. ]
【？ ？ ？】
[As long as you like it]
[Okay, okay, the Lin Group has developed new subordinates, right? 】
[I can see that whatever Mr. Wen needs, Lin Group will develop.]
: [What date will you be back? I'll arrange the flight.]
Wen Youning took a bite of bread and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll take Maomao for a walk later."
Maomao has been staying here for some time. Although he doesn't treat it as his own territory, he has become somewhat accustomed to it.
For Maomao, the current place is like the previous breeding base, and he needs to be 'released'.
"Ahhh!" The little tiger ran out grunting, and the toy ball in front of him rolled back and forth.
Unlike several big tigers, Little Latte doesn’t like the freeze-dried food inside, he just simply likes playing with the ball.
It has to be a toy ball that drops things out; ordinary ones that make sounds won’t work.
Fortunately, the big tiger will eat the freeze-dried food that falls out, so it is not wasted.
Little Latte ran over, Wen Youning reached out to help stop him, straightened the fence, and pushed the ball inside, "Play inside."
"Ah!" The little tiger shook its tail.
good!
Wen Youning said, "Yogurt, take a look at the latte. I have an emergency."
"Woo!" The South China tiger swung its tail impatiently.
I don’t care!
'Just watch for a while.'
Wen Youning smiled and said, "Okay, just for a while."
"Teacher Wen." As the emergency room opened, a man's panicked and pale face appeared on the screen and introduced himself: "I'm the keeper of the penguin pavilion of the oceanarium."
Wen Youning noticed the ID card in front of him.
It was the same one she went to last time for an event. In addition to penguins, there were also sea lion and walrus branches, but she didn't have enough time to explore them in detail.
Wen Youning: "Well, is the penguin sick?"
"Yes, Mr. Wen, please look." The man knelt on one knee, with the camera pointed at a gasping penguin chick. "When I first came in, I saw Xingxing with its wings spread out, breathing more than it breathed in. It was screaming like crazy. Was it beaten? Was it bullied by someone? I called a doctor but he hasn't arrived yet. Is there anything I can do now?"
The little penguin raised his head: "Ah, ah, ah!"
'Hahaha, that's so funny.'
'I'm so awesome! It went down in no time, haha.'
[Is there something stuck in your throat? ]
[Is this the sound a penguin makes? It sounds weird. Vote for a blocked throat or trachea.]
The keeper was worried that the little penguin would suffocate to death if he continued like this. When Wen Youning fell silent, he became even more unsure, "Teacher Wen? Teacher Wen?"
Could it be that I couldn't hear my inner voice because of my heavy breathing?
"Yes. I'm here." Wen Youning met the keeper's anxious gaze, "It's fine. Don't worry. Just listen to me first and look back now."
"Turn around?" The breeder turned around in confusion. When he heard her say that everything was fine, his heart still pounded. He did as she asked, "What's wrong with turning around?"
As we were talking, we happened to see another little penguin swimming up the slope from the water.
The little penguin stood on the shore and shook its feathers.
The keeper looked back and forth between the two little penguins, and made a guess: "It... that Xingxing is crying like that because its companion fell into the water and is anxiously asking the keeper for help, right?"
Wen Youning: "It was the star that knocked the penguin down."
The breeder's nervousness gradually calmed down, "...So, Xingxing is choking because she feels guilty after doing something bad?"
Wen Youning shook her head: "The first half is right. After doing something bad, I was so happy that I laughed so hard that I almost choked."
Keeper: “…”
Are you so happy?
