The deer herd left, retracing the paths their ancestors had taken.
But beneath the seemingly peaceful forest, undercurrents are stirring, and the animals that have devoured the flesh and blood of the riverbanks are undergoing changes.
But no one knows whether this change is good or bad.
The bloodshed in human cities has long been cleaned up, but the little creatures living in the corners of the city, hiding in the dark, inevitably have a feast.
The tiger family stayed together for three days, and only after confirming that the crisis had passed did the tiger father leisurely leave with his concubine.
Before leaving, the tigress took one last, reluctant look at her cubs.
After a few days, the tiger cubs realized that the tigress was not hostile towards them and was even quite friendly, so they completely let go.
The two brothers often played around the three big cats, and their relationship was naturally different from before.
Of course, the two brothers weren't close enough to the tigress to the point of licking her fur; there was a difference in their level of intimacy.
Autumn officially begins to take hold in the forest; the branches and leaves on the trees gradually dry up, and the lush grasses that provide shelter with visibly wither.
The animals began frantically stockpiling food for the winter. Those preparing for hibernation were digging their burrows day and night.
Most predators are busy hunting grounds, needing to store up enough fat before winter to prepare for the cold season.
The harsh winter is the cruelest test of survival. Without plants, herbivores do not have enough food, and most of the top predators will lose weight during the winter.
Lin Qian yawned as she watched Courage being kicked aside by Tiger Mom time and time again, and suddenly felt a sense of admiration.
This silly tiger is truly full of spirit!
Courage charged toward the tiger mother's big tail once again, howling as if it were going to war.
Bored, the tiger mom stretched out her hind leg and easily kicked her cub away.
What a nuisance! He's so bored all day long!
Its courage grew stronger with each battle, as if as long as it successfully pounced on and bit its mother's tail, it would be ready to hunt on its own.
The tiger cub's perseverance should not be underestimated.
However, the Tiger Mom's strength is a formidable obstacle.
The "battle" between mother and child reached a stalemate, and finally, the tiger mother chose to avoid the fight, splashing back into the pool.
Seeing his mother hide in the water, Yongqi suddenly lost his target for play and turned to rush to Lin Qian's side, howling.
"Aww~" Brother, let's go out and play~ Let's go out and play~
The little tiger opened its big eyes, its little ears twitching, and its watery eyes pleaded.
With such an adorable appearance, who could resist?
Courage is a clever little tiger who has long since figured out the nature of the family tiger. It knows the benefits of acting cute in front of Lin Qian and often uses this look to soften its brother's heart and make him play with it.
Lin Qian was exactly drawn to this, and couldn't resist the request for courage when he saw the adorable little tiger cub.
As always, after patting his little brother's head and petting the little tiger cub, Lin Qian looked up at the sun and felt that he still needed to find something for the little guy to do to burn off his energy, otherwise he wouldn't have a moment's rest all day.
"Aww!" Come on, big brother will take you to have some fun!
Upon hearing his brother's meaning, Yongqi excitedly stood up immediately and then dashed out.
"Aww~" Brother, hurry up~
They're here, they're here...
Helpless, Lin Qian quickly jogged to catch up. If he didn't keep up, he wouldn't even be able to see the tiger's shadow in the blink of an eye.
The tiger mom yawned as she watched her two cubs run into the bushes; she wasn't worried about them playing together.
The eldest son is very sensible and won't take his younger brother far away.
However, Tiger Mom miscalculated this time. Lin Qian originally intended to take a stroll around the neighborhood with courage, find a rabbit hole to gamble on, and catch a rabbit as an afternoon tea treat.
But as they walked, Lin Qian thought of the riverbank, and then the two little tigers unknowingly walked towards the riverbank.
Courage always follows its brother, and it has no objection to where Lin Qian goes.
Daytime is not the time when predators are active, so the forest is much quieter.
When Lin Qian and Yong Qi reached the riverbank, there was only a gentle breeze, and occasionally a few long or sharp cries flew across the sky.
The riverbank, once stained red, has lost most of its bloody color, and the remaining fragments of flesh have long been cleaned up by scavenging animals.
Even the bloodstains on the stones were mostly washed away by the rising and falling tides.
Looking at the scenery, which was not much different from usual, Lin Qian was somewhat dazed.
Otherwise, if there were still some dried black traces of blood remaining on the stones, the sudden bloody fog would have been impossible to find.
"Awoo~" Once courage reached the riverbank, it happily ran towards the water.
The tiger cub had no recollection of what had happened here three days prior. It seems that in a cub's memory, everything except playing and frolicking is forgotten.
Courage skillfully chose a good spot, bent down, and stuck out its little tongue to drink water.
The little guy was thirsty, as it was quite a distance from the pond.
Lin Qian carefully observed the river channel but found nothing unusual.
He sighed with regret. Three days had already passed; even if there had been some extraordinary opportunity, it had probably been taken by another animal...
Although it was a bit of a disappointment, Lin Qian didn't take it too seriously.
He has a rather Buddhist personality; he believes in letting things take their course, even though he's quite unlucky.
Lin Qian moved closer to Yongqi and bent down to drink water as well.
