Chapter 84 I don’t want to be separated from Song Yi anymore

Ye Yunian hugged Song Yi and licked him to his heart’s content, then reluctantly let him go.

Song Yi was still young after all, and he felt a little sleepy after being licked over and over by Ye Yunian.

Noticing that Ye Yunian had let go of him, he just lazily lifted his eyelids, then fell into Ye Yunian’s arms and fell asleep even faster.

Ye Yunian rarely saw Song Yi clinging to him like this. It

felt very novel, and my heart felt like it was inflated and floating.

But this is not a good place to sleep.

Ye Yunian turned his head and glanced at Maria, who was lying far away.

Ye Yunian had discovered them when Maria brought the third child over.

If it were any other time, Ye Yunian would have already run away.

But today Song Yi took the initiative to run to him, doesn't this prove that Maria trusts him?

Ye Yunian trusts Maria, and Maria did not disappoint him.

She took the remaining cubs and lay down in the distance, quietly watching the interaction between Ye Yunian and Song Yi.

Although she was still very confused, in Maria's heart, Ye Yunian, a sub-adult leopard, was a trustworthy person.

But this trust almost collapsed when she saw Ye Yunian pick up the sleeping Song Yi and prepare to run away.

Ye Yunian just stood up with Song Yi in his mouth, and before he even had time to take two steps, he heard Maria's roar from behind.

The meaning is very simple: Where are you taking my cub?

Ye Yunian paused and turned his head cautiously.

He was suddenly surprised to find that Maria had jumped out from the tall grass before he could react, and was only a few meters away from Ye Yunian.

As long as Ye Yunian dared to do anything dangerous to Song Yi, Maria would definitely jump up without hesitation.

Ye Yunian was a little nervous for a rare time.

He wanted to explain, but at this moment he was holding the already asleep Song Yi in his mouth.

There was no other way, Ye Yunian could only raise his chin and point his chin to the sparse woods not far away.

"Woo woo woo woo ah~"

I want to take Song Yi to sleep on a tree!

Ye Yunian looked at Maria, his eyes full of sincerity.

He didn't know if Maria understood or not, but after a few seconds, Ye Yunian saw that the hostility in Maria's eyes had decreased a lot.

Ye Yunian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then tentatively took two steps forward.

Maria also took a step forward.

Huh~

It seems that although she didn't understand what he meant, she also knew that she had no hostility towards Song Yi.

That's good.

Ye Yunian walked slowly towards the woods, and after a while, he walked under a big tree with a thick trunk.

At this time, Maria finally reacted to what the leopard in front of her was going to do.

All cats are particularly fond of high places. Even lions, who are not very good at climbing trees, occasionally like to sleep in trees.

And for leopards, trees are not only a place where they can store food, but also a safe shelter.

However -

Maria looked at Ye Yunian.

Her cubs are only two months old now, and their limbs have not yet fully developed. Although they can climb trees, they certainly can't climb such a high tree.

So this sub-adult leopard in front of her wants to take her cubs to climb up a tree to sleep?

Maria looked at Ye Yunian with a little worry.

The cub in front of him was only one year old, and he didn't look particularly strong. Could he really carry the cub up the tree safely?

Maria was hesitating whether to stop him.

At this moment, Ye Yunian jumped on the spot and easily jumped onto a branch.

Song Yi, who was held in Ye Yunian's mouth, swayed in the air with Ye Yunian's movements.

But Song Yi seemed to be extremely sleepy and didn't even open his eyes.

Ye Yunian's tree-climbing skills were natural. After a while, he found a thick tree trunk that was shaded and out of the sun. Then Ye Yunian lowered his head, carefully placed Song Yi on the tree trunk, and lay down next to Song Yi.

Song Yi was lying in front. His limbs were not very slender. This thick trunk was bigger than his whole body. In order to prevent Song Yi from turning over and falling down accidentally in his sleep, Ye Yunian climbed down and gently wrapped his claws around Song Yi.

Ye Yunian rested his head on one of his arms and the other arm on Song Yi's chin, like a hug.

The last ray of light in the sky disappeared. The temperature difference between day and night on the grassland was large. There was a hint of coolness on the grassland at night.

Song Yi felt cold and couldn't help but shrink into Ye Yunian's arms again.

Ye Yunian lowered his head, licked Song Yi affectionately, and then hugged Song Yi tighter.

The two leopards fell asleep in this way, snuggling together.

The photographers in the distance recorded this scene in full. Seeing the close relationship between Ye Yunian and Song Yi, they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

There is a saying that is indeed true, everything in the world has feelings.

Even two leopards who are not related by blood can build trust and dependence after a long time of getting along.

This scene is so beautiful that the photographers pressed the shutter one after another and took a lot of photos.

Maria, who was standing under the tree, was relieved after making sure that Ye Yunian would not take her cubs away casually.

The third child finally walked up to his mother at this time. He howled at his mother a little aggrieved, then raised his head and looked at the two figures on the tree.

He also wants to climb the tree!

The third child rubbed his head against his mother.

Maria looked at her cubs and turned around without hesitation.

The third cub was a little confused.

Where to go?

Maria simply walked over and grabbed the third cub's neck.

Don't you want to sleep in a tree?

She can fulfill the cub's wish now.

The third one shouted excitedly.

That night, Ye Yunian, who had no blood relationship with the other three leopards, slept with Song Yi in Maria's territory until dawn.

In fact, it wasn't really dawn.

Before there was even a hint of light in the sky, Ye Yunian was awakened by a roar.

He was familiar with this voice, it was Angela's voice.

Before Ye Yunian left last night, he said hello to Angela.

But Ye Yunian said he would be back soon.

Angela knew what the cub wanted to do, and thought that since Maria next door would not hurt the cub, there would be no harm in letting the cub go out and play.

After all, cubs of this age are just at the age that likes to explore.

When he is tired of playing with Maria's cubs, he will naturally come back.

With this thought in mind, Angela, who had eaten her fill, closed her eyes and went to sleep peacefully.

But what Angela never thought about was that when she woke up, it was almost dawn the next day, and her cub had not come back yet!

Anxious Angela naturally yelled at the sky without thinking, and then began to call Ye Yunian.

Ye Yunian woke up.

He knew that he could not stay any longer, otherwise the mother leopard would rush to Maria's territory to find Leopard!

He looked down at Song Yi in his arms again.

Because of this voice, Song Yi also woke up, and he was even more alert than Ye Yunian. He stood up slowly.

But after standing up, Song Yi realized something was wrong.

Why was he so high up now?

Song Yi looked back at Ye Yunian in disbelief.

Ye Yunian raised his chin, very satisfied with Song Yi's surprised expression.

But now is not the time to be naughty with Song Yi.

Ye Yunian licked Song Yi's little head, and then began to look for Maria.

Finally, Ye Yunian found Maria and Lao San on a tree not far away.

Ye Yunian didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed Song Yi's neck and quickly got down from the tree. Then he sent Song Yi to the tree where Maria was.

Song Yi was put on the ground. He reacted at this time and looked back at Ye Yunian.

Are you leaving? What

Ye Yunian couldn't stand the most was Song Yi's little expression at this moment.

The hair on his body has not been fully developed, so he looks like a little leopard.

The black hair is not conspicuous in the dark, but Song Yi has a special tuft of white under his head.

Ye Yunian lowered his head and stared at the tuft of white hair for a moment, a little curious, why does Song Yi, a black panther, have such an abrupt tuft of white hair?

When he was a wolf in his previous life, Song Yi also had a tuft of white hair under his head, but they didn't have it when they were giant pandas?

Ye Yunian only thought for a moment, and when he didn't expect the answer, he stopped thinking.

He lowered his head, licked Song Yi affectionately, and then meowed twice.

I will come to you again.

You have to take care of yourself!

Angela's calls became more and more urgent. Ye Yunian didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly raised his head and responded to Angela.

Before leaving, Ye Yunian looked back at Song Yi, and then ran towards Andrew's territory, looking back every few steps.

As soon as Ye Yunian came back, Andrew and Angela took the initiative to walk in front of their own cubs.

Andrew was the first to smell the smell of his cub, and then frowned.

Why is there a smell of other cubs?

Angela also smelled the smell.

But in her opinion, as long as the cub is safe, it's fine.

As for the smell of other cubs -

she can just lick it off.

It's just not clear how long her own cub will go to the neighboring territory to play with the neighboring cub.

Does he like the neighboring cub a little too much?

Facts have proved that since Maria stopped driving Ye Yunian away, he goes to the neighboring territory to find Song Yi almost every day.

And Maria was a little wary at the beginning, but later she was completely relieved.

Sometimes when Maria went out hunting, she would even wait for a while in her own territory.

Maria would not go out until she noticed Ye Yunian running towards her territory with cheerful little steps.

Although Maria also saw that Ye Yunian just liked the little black panther very much.

As for her other cub.

As long as they are alive, that's all.

Maria was relieved to leave the two cubs to Ye Yunian.

And the relationship between Ye Yunian and Song Yi has become closer after a month of getting along. At

this age, Song Yi actually doesn't quite understand what love is.

But he knows that this leopard that sticks to him all day likes him.

And Song Yi himself, of course, likes this leopard sticking to him too!

Song Yi enjoys this leopard licking his fur.

Sometimes Song Yi even licks Ye Yunian's fur. Every

time Song Yi licks Ye Yunian's fur, this leopard, which is much bigger than him, will cooperate and lie in the haystack.

Although licking the fur of a leopard that is several times bigger than himself is a very physically demanding task, Song Yi still licks it happily.

It's as if he had licked his fur like this a long, long time ago.

Of course.

Ye Yunian is also very considerate of Song Yi.

Knowing that Song Yi's current physical strength is limited, Ye Yunian will not really let Song Yi lick him to the end every time. When he thinks it's almost done, Ye Yunian will use his arms to hold Song Yi tightly to prevent him from moving.

And Song Yi gradually began to develop the habit of getting along with Ye Yunian before.

For example, when sleeping, Song Yi doesn't like Ye Yunian to hold him, he likes to stretch out his not-so-long arms to hold Ye Yunian.

But Ye Yunian is much bigger than him.

Sometimes when Ye Yunian is not paying attention while sleeping, Song Yi will be pressed directly on the belly by Ye Yunian.

Until Song Yi can't stand it anymore, he starts to arch under Ye Yunian's belly, Ye Yunian is suddenly awakened, and then quickly pulls Song Yi out to lick him.

Time flies, and it is September.

The driest season of the grassland has finally arrived.

For several months, there has been no rain on the grassland, and the small tributary in Maria's territory has long been dry.

Now there are only a few pools of water of different sizes left in the territory.

But as the high temperature continues to scorch.

Within a few days, the water in these pools began to dry up gradually, leaving only a few muddy muddy pools.

After Ye Yunian had a full meal with his biological father Leopard and biological mother Leopard that day, he did not forget to bring some food to see Song Yi.

From a distance, Ye Yunian saw Song Yi drinking water in the mud beside Maria.

Of course, it is best not to drink the water in the muddy pool.

But in the extremely dry season, animals have no choice.

In order to survive, they can only accept such water.

Ye Yunian's brows wrinkled immediately.

In fact, it is not only Maria's territory that is seriously short of water. After several months of drought, even the rivers in Andrew's territory have dried up.

Even in the past few days, Ye Yunian has discovered that the success rate of hunting by the father and mother leopards is declining.

Of course, it is not because the father and mother leopards are lazy.

It is because the herbivores active around their territory during this period are rapidly decreasing.

Although the water resources in Andru's territory have not completely dried up, the impact of the dry-up has still made many animals feel the crisis.

Even the hippopotamus, which usually soaks in the water with only their noses exposed to breathe, can't soak their entire bodies in the water recently.

In order to protect themselves from the sun, these big guys covered their bodies with wet mud.

Sometimes when Ye Yunian went to drink water, he would be splashed with mud by them.

The three leopards not far away smelled Ye Yunian approaching and raised their heads one after another.

Song Yi ran towards Ye Yunian first, and the third brother followed closely.

When they got closer, Ye Yunian put the zebra meat he had brought on the ground.

Every time Ye Yunian came to see Song Yi, he would bring some food.

The amount of food was not much, but the amount he brought each time could feed the two cubs.

Maria was relieved a lot because of Ye Yunian's feeding.

So even though the hunt yesterday failed, Maria didn't look anxious today.

Seeing that the two cubs were surrounding Ye Yunian, Maria stood up and prepared to go out hunting again.

As for Song Yi, after seeing Ye Yunian, he would get close to Ye Yunian as usual.

Ye Yunian would lick Song Yi's face affectionately, and Song Yi would rub Ye Yunian gently with his head.

After the two leopards finished playing, the third child next to them walked up quickly, carefully glanced at Ye Yunian, and then looked at his brother.

Seeing that his brother didn't yell at him, he dared to step forward and rubbed Ye Yunian with his head.

There's no way.

This is an experience that comes only after being beaten.

Although the third brother doesn't understand why his brother doesn't like him to be close to Ye Yunian, in order not to make his brother angry, he still stays away from Ye Yunian! Although

the third brother likes this leopard in his heart, after all, he always brings them food every time he comes!

After the three little ones finished being intimate, it was time to eat.

The little leopard, which is almost four months old, can already eat independently, so Ye Yunian signaled Song Yi and the third brother to eat first, and he went around to the mud pit next to him to observe the situation.

The water source in Maria's territory has decreased a lot again.

There is not much water left in this quagmire now. It is estimated that in about a day, the last bit of water in the quagmire will dry up.

Ye Yunian suddenly felt a little worried when he thought of this.

No.

In such a dry season, what should we do if there is no water in the territory?

The only solution Ye Yunian can think of is to migrate.

Even Ye Yunian can feel that his father leopard has had such an idea in the past two days. Maybe in a few days, they will have to migrate.

In Andrew's view.

If such a large territory is just for supporting himself, then he actually doesn't need to migrate.

After all, even if the success rate of hunting is reduced, he can still hunt enough food for himself.

But the situation is different now.

Not only is there a new cub in his territory, but there is also an Angela.

To feed three mouths at the same time, you need plenty of food.

Then I can move away, but what about Song Yi?

Ye Yunian was rarely a little anxious.

Standing in front of Song Yi and the third child, his tail was swinging impatiently.

Song Yi was the first to notice Ye Yunian's mood. He licked the minced meat at the corner of his mouth, and walked towards Ye Yunian quickly, then called out "Awooo" at Ye Yunian. What did he mean?

Ye Yunian lowered his head and met Song Yi's slightly worried gaze.

He was still a little leopard, but he started to worry about himself!

Wuwuwu——

Song Yi, who loved him the most, is worthy of it!

Ye Yunian approached Song Yi and licked Song Yi's head vigorously with his tongue.

Song Yi was a little confused by being licked, but thinking that Ye Yunian licked him very comfortably, he did not refuse.

He had almost finished eating, so he lay down beside Ye Yunian.

After Ye Yunian had licked him almost done, Song Yi stretched out his pink tongue and began to tidy up the hair on Ye Yunian's face.

Ye Yunian brought a lot of meat today, and there was still a piece left after the third brother ate it.

The third brother walked to the two leopards and lay down, and began to tidy up his own hair.

During the time when Maria was away, the third brother would stay by Ye Yunian's side.

The three leopards groomed each other's hair for a while, and then they were a little tired.

Song Yi was so tired from licking Ye Yunian's hair that he opened his tongue to breathe.

There was still water in the mud not far away. Song Yi stood up and was about to drink some water.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Yunian called him.

Song Yi stopped in confusion.

Ye Yunian walked over, picked up the meat that the third brother and Song Yi had not finished eating on the ground, jumped to the tree next to him in a few steps, hung the piece of meat on the tree, and then jumped down quickly, calling the two little ones to follow him.

Not only Song Yi was confused, the third brother also looked at Ye Yunian in confusion.

Where are they going?

Seeing that the two little ones were a little hesitant, Ye Yunian simply turned around first.

So the next second, Song Yi followed without thinking.

As for the third brother.

His own brother has left, of course he has to follow!

Just as they were walking, Lao San and Song Yi noticed something was wrong. This direction -

seemed to be heading towards Andrew's territory!

What exactly did Ye Yunian want to do?

At the same time.

Andrew, who had just finished tidying up his hair and was about to fall asleep on a tree, suddenly opened his eyes.

He smelled three scents heading towards his territory, one of which naturally came from the cubs, and the other two scents.

Although strange, they were also very familiar.

After all, every time his cubs came back from playing, they would carry these two scents on them.

So is this the cub bringing his playmates to his territory?

Andrew frowned slightly.

Angela, who was not far away, obviously noticed the situation. She stood up from the tree trunk and looked at the edge of the territory from afar.

From time to time, Angela would turn her head and look at Andrew.

Andrew was thinking at the moment.

To be honest, Andrew didn't like these two playmates of his cub at first.

There was no way!

After they appeared, his cub liked to go out and play with them every day. Although the cub would still kiss and cuddle with him after coming back every day, the time the cub spent cuddle with him was obviously much less now!

Oh.

It was also Angela's credit.

Humph.

These leopards are annoying!

But Andrew really couldn't do anything about his precious cub.

Alas.

Who makes the cubs like it!

Forget it.

Anyway, I will soon take the cubs to change territories.

Besides, these two cubs are just two little cubs.

Even if they come to my territory, they can't cause any damage.

The cubs want to bring them to play, then let them play.

Andrew figured it out.

So he continued to lie down without any worries and closed his eyes.

Angela was a little surprised when she saw this scene.

No, you really don't care?

Angela was still a little curious about what the cub brought his playmate back for, so she simply jumped down from the tree and walked towards the cubs.

Angela is a leopard who is very good at hiding her whereabouts.

The only leopard who could detect her approach was Ye Yunian, but after Ye Yunian realized that the mother leopard was not a threat to Song Yi and Lao San, he did not stop the mother leopard from approaching.

As soon as he returned to Andrew's territory, Ye Yunian took Song Yi and Lao San to the water source with a clear goal.

The water in that small mud puddle was really dirty!

Song Yi was still so young, what if he got into trouble after drinking it?

After arriving at the water's edge, Ye Yunian took the lead in observing the situation and made sure that there was no danger around before he led the two little ones forward to drink water.

Looking at the way Song Yi and Lao San gulped down the water, Ye Yunian made a somewhat bold decision in his heart -

he still didn't migrate with his father leopard and mother leopard!

Ye Yunian didn't want to be separated from Song Yi anymore.
