Before Li Sheng could even think, he was completely enveloped by the huge wave. The moment he was enveloped was not a raging torrent, but an unprecedented moment of tranquility.
For a moment, he even felt a sense of pleasure, but he did not lose himself in this perverse pleasure. He quickly knelt on the ground, his knees tightly gripping a large rock in the middle, while his hands and armpits held two leopard cubs tightly. If they were accidentally swept away by the waves, they would certainly not survive.
Soon the waves would subside briefly after reaching a certain height, and Li Sheng would take advantage of this opportunity to get up and climb upwards.
He not only had to seize the opportunity to climb up quickly, but also had to keep up with the rhythm of each big wave. If he relaxed even slightly, he might be swept away by the big wave.
The chickens inside the coop were terrified, but the two little chicks under his armpits, whether out of exhaustion or near death, didn't struggle violently, only whimpering softly.
He is racing against the tide, he is racing against the waves.
Cuihua's journey was also difficult. She was battered and bruised by huge hailstones and was almost swept away by the waves. Fortunately, the leopard was much more agile than her, and it slowed down the waves by a step each time.
At this time, it was not only hail but also a storm, and because he was wearing a straw hat, his vision was severely obstructed.
He could only see the road beneath his feet, and a little further ahead, all he could see was Cuihua. In fact, he had been following Cuihua's footsteps the whole time.
The waves engulfed him time and time again. When the tenth wave came, he took a big step and pushed off with his right foot. This time, he finally won by a narrow margin.
The wave eventually reached his thighs, then receded to gather its strength again, perhaps to come even more fiercely next time.
But he didn't take any chances, nor did he spend time hesitating or thinking. His only belief was to climb forward and climb higher. This was his first narrow victory.
This narrow victory seemed to have angered the heavens, who punished him with an even more violent hailstorm.
With a loud thud, his head was stunned, and a dull pain followed. If it weren't for the straw hat, he might have been knocked unconscious. But even with the protection of the straw hat, he would probably have been knocked out on the spot by the time he took it off.
A living Buddha with a large bundle on his head.
Even if God cheated with hail, he won more each time the waves came. At first, the water reached his thighs, then his knees, then his ankles, until finally Li Sheng stood on the bank on the slope, looked back at the huge waves on the sea, and his eyes were calm.
He said calmly, "I still won."
Although it looks disheveled, it is also magnificent, like a knight who has fought against thousands of enemies on the battlefield and finally won by a narrow margin.
Yes, that's why he insisted on saving them at this time.
This is like a game or a fairy tale. Milkball is the princess, and the other creatures in the sanctuary are like her subjects. So what is her role? The king?
No! No!
His role is that of a knight, and a knight's responsibility is to protect. From the very beginning of the competition, his role has been that of a knight, and his responsibility is to protect.
He has encountered so many difficulties. If he were alone, he might have given up long ago. But he has the support of his support group, which gives him a sense of responsibility and determination, enabling him to become stronger time and time again and seize a glimmer of hope from desperate situations.
Every time, he asked himself what would happen to the healing group if he died, so the final conclusion was that he couldn't die no matter what, he had to play the role of a knight well.
This is why he made this choice, and he would still make the same choice no matter how many times he had to do it again.
After taking a quick look, Li Sheng quickly entered the courtyard, opened and secured the gate, so as to observe the situation at the seaside.
Then they placed the two leopard cubs under the woodshed next to the cabin.
They immediately opened the chicken coop, and the inside was just as chaotic. Fortunately, everyone was only frightened and no one was injured.
The worst off were the last two leopard cubs. These two were already slightly weaker than the other two, and now, for some reason, they were lying on the ground whimpering and unable to stand up.
It's not fair to blame Cuihua for wanting to take away the two stronger ones; after all, in the laws of nature, the strong have a greater right to survive, and Cuihua had no choice but to make this decision.
At this moment, Cuihua was also licking the two little cubs who were lying on the ground whimpering. Li Sheng felt a little heartbroken watching this.
Li Sheng carefully examined the leopard cub. The leopard mother didn't react to Li Sheng's actions; she just watched anxiously from the side.
Li Sheng didn't even have time to take off his straw hat and raincoat. He touched the little leopard's body inch by inch with his fingers. These little guys didn't have any obvious external injuries. He wanted to touch to see if any bones were broken. The first thing he checked was the spine.
If their spines are injured, these two leopard cubs will basically have no chance of survival. Even if he and the milk ball can take care of them, what will happen after they are gone?
They cannot survive independently.
After Li Sheng's examination, it was fortunate that the two little ones' spines were not injured. After a thorough check, their whole bodies were found to be intact.
I breathed a sigh of relief. He was probably just startled and is currently in a state of stress, so there's no need to worry too much.
The leopard mother here will play a good motherly role and comfort them.
He then took off his straw hat and raincoat. He was soaked to the bone and had taken off all his clothes. He stood under the shed watching the sudden disaster.
Milkball also came out of the wooden house, her eyes still red, and squatted down in front of the two little cubs, gently stroking them with her hands.
"It's okay, it's okay, everything will be alright."
They should be fine, most likely fine. Li Sheng didn't speak but stared blankly outside.
This was completely unexpected. The wind blew and gave him goosebumps. It was a cold wind. Would the temperature rise after this hailstorm? Logically, yes, but what if it didn't?
After all, what happened was illogical, so he still needed to be fully prepared just in case.
Li Sheng patted the little one's head, his voice still gentle and reassuring: "Sweetie, it's a bit cold, let's go inside. Everyone, come inside."
The temperature inside the house was indeed much more comfortable, but the door was not closed, and occasionally heavy rain would breach the threshold, but it didn't cause any major problems.
Li Sheng was weaving clothes by the light shining through them; the size was clearly that of a baby. If he had known this, he should have processed all the hides properly when he went hunting.
However, he was still glad that he was such a tightwad of a habit. Every time he lit a fire, he would preserve the thoroughly burned wood as charcoal, so that even if it got really cold, at least the house would stay warm.
