The two mothers in the village ate their dishes and put down their chopsticks, then went back to the wall and cursed each other in the distance. Outside, Ji Changze and Chen Lu, who appeared frequently in their mouths, were hiding in the grass and looking over there. A pride of lions resting.
There are so many dangers all around the village. Chen's Lu is so anxious just thinking about how much suffering and fear his parents will suffer at home. At this moment, he can't care about his self-requirement of "keeping a safe distance of more than two meters from his mortal enemy." , and Ji Changze crawled in the grass together and looked at the lion opposite.
"Six, seven... eleven... what to do? There are eleven lions. How can we defeat so many lions? Even if we have bows and arrows, we don't have as many lions as us. How can we defeat them?"
Chen's Lu was extremely anxious, but couldn't think of a solution.
It would be okay if they were fighting in high-rise buildings, but they couldn't even build a slightly taller building here. The tallest thing at present was their RV.
Ji Changze looked at the lions with a telescope.
There are no cubs in the lion group, there is only one male lion, and the rest are female lions.
This is quite normal. The lion group has always had a polygamous system, but now, the male lion, which is the largest and has the most majestic and beautiful mane, is lying under the tree, swaying his tail and closing his eyes as if sleep.
"They don't have cubs and the lioness isn't pregnant."
Chen's Lu: "... Now that it's time, can your focus not be so strange?"
Isn't the most important thing for them now to go home or defeat the lion? Why should we pay attention to something as trivial as whether a lion is pregnant or not
Ji Changze: "Seven of these female lions are lactating, but they have no children in their bellies, and there are no lion cubs with them. Moreover, among the ten female lions, only seven of them are farthest from the male lion."
Zhang Shengsheng also moved over quietly. Hearing Ji Changze's words, he seemed to understand: "Basically all mammal mothers will take good care of their children. It is impossible for these female lions to leave their cubs alone. Are all their children dead?" ?”
"Is it possible that all the lion cubs died during the previous meteor shower?"
Ji Changze shook his head: "Meteor showers are random. Although the zoo regularly places lion cubs together, they usually live with their mothers. If something happens to the lion cubs, their mother is unlikely to survive."
He crawled and turned back, returned to the car, and asked Li Hechuan, who was making inquiries: "How are you, have you found out the origins of these lions?"
"I found out that there is a zoo in the county. It was sponsored by a large group. It is not short of money. It uses an exhibition model that simulates nature. These lions should be from those zoos. They are from the zoo. There are two groups of lions, one is the group of lions led by the Dalin Lion, and the other is the group of lions led by the Great King Lion."
Ji Changze: "Then which group of lions are we meeting?"
Li Hechuan: "... It's a bit hard to tell. I think they all look the same. The female lions don't seem to be much different. As for the male lions... The king has a tuft of yellow hair here, but Dalin doesn't."
Ji Changze leaned over and took a closer look.
Then he pointed to a female lion on the screen: "This female lion belongs to the King's pride, but the lion we saw just now is Dalin."
"That makes sense."
Chen Dilu came out of the grass crawling and twisting. As soon as he stood up, he heard Ji Changze say: "Male lions will seize territory, drive away the original male lions, and take over the female lions from the original group of lions. In most cases, the male lions will occupy the territory." No lion can accept the child left by the previous lion king, and if it wants to have a child with a female lion, the female lion must be in estrus. Killing the child will cause the female lion to be stimulated into estrus. At this time, the male lion will The lion then mates with the lioness."
Guo Junyuan had just finished coaxing Xiaobao to sleep, and when she heard these words, her face showed a trace of unbearability: "So all the children of the lioness were bitten to death?"
"right."
Ji Changze guessed: "It should be because of the meteorite rain at that time that something unexpected happened to the lion group occupied by this male lion named Dalin, because the female lions that were following him just now were all from the group of king lions, so in it After the lioness and cubs were gone, they attacked the king. They might have killed it, or they might have driven it away, but no matter which way it was, the king would definitely not survive. At this time, an injured male The lion would never live for more than a few days, so Dalin took over its lion group, killed all the lion cubs that were not of his own blood, and forced the female lion to go into heat so that he could have his own heirs."
Chen Lu's face twitched when he heard this.
He substituted himself, which seemed to mean that he was married and had children, and was living a happy life. Suddenly Ji Changze came over, killed him, killed his children, and forced his wife to have children with Ji Changze.
"How shameless!"
He was filled with righteous indignation: "This kind of lion is simply the scum of a lion among lions."
Having said this, he sighed again. Although he did not have a wife, he truly felt the pain of having his wife taken away from him: "How uncomfortable it must be for those lionesses, seeing their husbands and children die with their own eyes, eh..."
Ji Changze: "Actually, they only feel uncomfortable for their little lions. In a group of lions, female lions generally have no feelings for male lions. For them, male lions are just a person who protects the group and allows them to have babies. Tool of."
Chen Delu: "..."
Ji Changze: "Those female lions were injured. They should have joined the battle when the two male lions were fighting, but they all lost. Either the king himself was not strong enough, or the king himself was injured, so in the end Dalin took over. Got them."
Chen Lu, who quickly took back his true feelings, became a little impatient: "This is not watching TV. What's the use of giving us science about the animal world? Even if they are a love triangle or a love triangle, they have something to do with us."
Ji Changze: "It really does."
Chen Delu: "..."
Ji Changze: "In the animal world, everyone is very cruel. Usually when two male lions fight, the female lions will not interfere. If their husband wins, they will happily come forward to reward them. If the other party wins, they will If you change your husband, even if it is a female lion with a child, the most she can do is hide the cub to avoid the death of her child if the lion group changes owners. These are natural laws and are engraved in instinct. Since these female lions have Maybe they helped their original husband, is it possible that they temporarily got rid of this animal instinct?"
Guo Junyuan seemed to understand: "You mean the meteorite rain has improved the IQ of these lions?"
"Yes, we could tell this when we caught other prey before. These prey are more or less smarter than before. They will become smarter, why not the lion?"
Ji Changze quickly made a decision: "Lions do have feelings of hatred, but the average female lion will suppress this hatred after becoming pregnant again and take care of the new lion cubs wholeheartedly. But if their thinking evolves, , maybe they still hate the male lions, but the male lions are much more powerful than them, so the female lions don't dare to take action."
He climbed into the RV in twos and twos and looked at the lying lion with his binoculars.
"I have to get closer to them and attack the male lion first."
They didn't dare to shoot arrows before. On the one hand, there was no cover here. There were only a few of them. Even if they were men, women, young and old, everyone could only knock down a few of them even if they shot arrows together. .
The reaction ability of lions is much faster than human imagination.
Ji Changze is relatively unlucky, and his method is to make these lions den full of trouble.
He refused the company of others and climbed up a tree with his bow and arrow.
Because the anesthetic had not been tested on such a super large creature, he did not dilute it again this time, but directly applied it on the arrow, and then aimed it at the male lion sleeping under the tree.
Everyone in the RV held their breath nervously and looked here. Chen Dilu and Li Hechuan and Guo Junyuan were each holding a telescope.
—Whoosh!
The arrow flew smoothly to the lion's butt.
It was awakened from its sleep, jumped up in anger, and roared angrily.
The surrounding female lions were startled by its sudden movement, and they all stood up in confusion, swung their tails and looked over curiously.
Blood flowed from the male lion's buttocks, and the female lions suddenly became restless.
They are all born hunters and are very familiar with the smell of blood.
At first, everyone was fine, but suddenly the Lion King was injured. They didn't understand what happened, and gradually became anxious with the atmosphere.
Unlike these anxious female lions, the female lions who were far away from the lions all stood up one after another, wagging their tails and sniffing the smell of blood belonging to male lions in the air.
Their cold eyes looked at the male lion in front of them who had killed their child.
It was trying hard to stand up, but the effect of the anesthetic made it wobbly even when it stood up, unable to stand firmly at all.
The female lions who had lost their children keenly felt the weakness coming from this domineering and fierce male lion. They licked their lips and walked towards this side with vigilant steps.
There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping and blood and flesh.
Chen's Lu frowned, trying hard not to take his eyes away from the lion he was fighting.
The fighting power of a male lion is stronger than that of a female lion, but who let him be tricked by Ji Changze? The effect of the anesthetic is still on the body. Even if its body is big enough and does not fall down all of a sudden, its teeth are still as sharp as its claws. He is so powerful and unconscious, how can he beat the combined lioness
The other childless lionesses were confused.
They looked at each other, wondering whether they should step forward to help their husband.
Because the scene that happened in front of them had never happened before, and the male lions did not let them help (they were blinded), the female lions without children could only look at this scene in confusion, and thought hesitantly. Approaching but not daring to approach.
In the end, the lionesses won.
The male lion was seriously injured and staggered away, but the lionesses did not pursue him.
It will definitely not survive. If the male lion is injured in the zoo, it can still be properly taken care of. Under such circumstances, the injured male lion cannot even catch a rabbit, cannot replenish food, and the wound is If you can't handle it, it will die somewhere before long.
The lioness who had beaten the male lion the most and was the most ruthless stood at the place where the male lion was originally and let out a roar.
The other lionesses were even more confused.
Usually it's a battle between lions, and the winner calls out like this, which means "I won, this land belongs to me, and you lions all belong to me too."
It's a female lion. What's her name
But the other female lions who were still in the lactation period came forward obediently and tried their best to help the female lion lick its bloody hair to express their submission.
The female lion looked at the other lions who had been in a state of confusion. She leaned down slightly, grinned her blood-stained mouth, exposed her fangs, and let out a threatening roar from her throat.
Those female lions: "..."
They took a few steps back in fear and saw the queen in front of them walking towards them.
Although they still couldn't figure out the situation, they finally surrendered, making soft noises to express their favor, and cautiously stepped forward to lick the queen's hair.
In this way, when the planet changed, the first pride of lions ruled by a queen appeared on the planet.
At this time, the lion group was already at a disadvantage. The female lions involved in the battle were all injured, and they were no longer protected by the male lions. If Ji Changze took action now, he would win 80% of the time.
But he suddenly changed his mind.
He drew his bow, pointed it in the direction of the queen, and then moved it slightly away.
—Whoosh!
The arrow was stuck in the ground, frightening the queen who had just calmed down to jump back. This time, it looked at Ji Changze's location very accurately.
But it is much smarter than other lions in the group. It clearly remembers that the male lion lost its fighting ability just because of this strange thing, and the human actually had another one in his hand.
The Queen thinks a little more than other lions.
It witnessed with its own eyes how the previous king lost, and naturally it would not repeat the same mistake.
It quickly made a decision, leaned down and barked a few low sounds at the female lions around it. The lions followed it and left together.
They will choose a place suitable for lions to live and raise their own cubs. The female lions will stay and the male lions will be driven away when they can survive independently.
In the past, male lions killed their cubs in order to compete for territory with lionesses. This time, it will expand the group and develop stably. When it encounters other lions, it will defeat the male lion and force it to leave blood in its belly. , powerful offspring can make their group bigger and bigger.
But the group led by this queen will never attack humans. It will never forget that when it ascended the throne, humans used terrible things to attack the male lions, leaving the invincible male lions without the power to fight back.
Of course, this is just a thing for later. The current queen is just a young lioness who fled with her tribe just after ascending the throne.
Ji Changze made sure they left before waving in the direction of several cars, indicating that they could drive over.
The car drove over quickly, and Guo Junyuan's heart was beating very fast. Although she had just witnessed the whole process with her own eyes and knew that the lions were not even close to her husband, she was still extremely scared.
Ji Changze touched the tree, and she rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. Let's get ready to enter the village."
Ji Changze looked around. Li Hechuan was still the same as before, with a face full of admiration. Fu Hao and the others were also similar.
Chen’s Lu…
After realizing that Ji Changze was looking at him, he quickly looked away and hid behind Fu Hao.
Chen's Lu always quarreled with Ji Changze whenever he found an opportunity, but today he didn't dare to antagonize him.
Look at the consequences of going against Ji Changze.
That male lion was running a harem well, but he was targeted by Ji Changze, and his actions were as fierce as a tiger's. He was bitten by his harem and was forcibly kicked out of the clan.
Chen Lu felt that he was not as resistant to being beaten as the lion.
Ji Changze is an old yinbi.
He had better say less before returning to the village, lest Ji Changze get upset with him and suddenly slander him.
Seeing that his parents were in front of him, he didn't want to go to heaven to play drift.
Because of this idea, Chen Lu was as quiet as a chicken on the way into the village, not making any sound.
Fu Hao was in the same car with him. Seeing that he didn't speak, he thought he was timid about being close to home. Thinking about how Chen Lu was so worried when he heard that there were dangers on all sides in the village, he also felt that he was worried. I can understand him very well.
His parents are no longer here. If they were here, knowing that they were trapped in one place and might be hungry, I don't know how anxious he would be.
Fu Hao, who was considerate of Chen Lu, offered to drive the car himself.
"Brother Chen, you can pack your things first. My uncle and aunt may have suffered a lot when they were trapped in the car. Prepare some delicious food and drink, and be filial to them when you get home."
Chen Delu was pulled out of his thoughts.
"Yep!"
His parents didn't know how much they suffered.
When they were crossing the road just now, a snake crawled in front of them so openly.
Although I don't know if they are poisonous or not, these snakes would not dare to run out in broad daylight before the end of the world. Even if they did come out, they would definitely hide and run away when they saw people.
Think again about the environment in the village.
Chen Lu's heart was full of sadness, and he just hoped that his parents wouldn't lose too much weight.
He and Fu Hao changed places, and he sat in the back and started packing things.
He stocked up on instant noodles himself. The most common thing everyone eats these days is instant noodles. After all, if you are on the road, instant noodles are faster. However, he has stocked ten boxes and now has five boxes left, which is definitely enough.
There are also these pieces of meat, which he bought from Guo Junyuan in exchange for pheasant drumsticks before he left for the village, thinking that he wanted to give his parents a good supplement.
My parents must have not eaten meat for a long time, and he must give them a good supplement.
By the way, there's also pickled mustard. Although it doesn't taste very good, it's still better than nothing. This is what he found with great difficulty.
There are also these biscuits, they are all compressed biscuits, very filling, and they are all exchanged with Guo Junyuan.
As for why he didn't switch with Ji Changze, haha, Ji Changze is the best at pretending. Who knows if he will trick me.
Chen's Lu was busy here, and Ji Changze over there was not idle either.
"I'm hungry. It seems like it's time for dinner, right? I wonder if my parents are cooking."
Guo Junyuan looked at Xiaobao who happened to be sleeping behind her, and said with a smile: "It should be ready soon. Mom and dad will eat later."
She was a little worried about her parents and looked towards Dongshan. Ji Changze patted the back of Guo Junyuan's hand comfortingly: "It's okay. We'll go see your parents after we put down our things and have dinner." .”
Guo Junyuan nodded, looking a little more relieved.
When the villagers heard the noise of the car, they opened their doors and came out to see in surprise.
When the meteorite rain first started, everyone panicked for a while. Then it got dark, the vegetation grew wildly, and so many wild animals came from nowhere. The villagers were worried at first, but later found that although they could not contact the outside world, They couldn't get out, but as long as they hid in the village, the animals wouldn't attack them, and they gradually felt at ease.
The most difficult thing is for families whose relatives are out of town. Now they can't leave, and people from outside can't come in.
But there is no point in worrying, I can only live day by day without any hope.
As a result, a car actually entered the village today?
Does that mean they can go outside to collect food?
Although there is no shortage of food, everyone is very anxious as they see the food in the granary getting less and less day by day. There is clearly food outside but they cannot be brought in.
Chen's Lula drove out the window and looked at the uncles, aunts, and uncles who had watched him grow up looking at him with surprised eyes, and she felt deeply moved in her heart.
These are the folks, even though we are not related by blood, they have watched him grow up.
They must be surprised to see him back now.
Hey, he is also very popular.
Chen's Lu couldn't help but get emotional and shouted to the elders who came out to see them: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Six, Uncle Wang, Grandma and Grandpa, I miss you so much."
Uncle Zhang responded, and then asked: "Lulu, you came back from outside, then you..."
Hearing these words of concern, Chen's nose became sore again. He cut off the topic and said, "Fortunately, although I came back from outside, I didn't suffer much. I had food and drink, and it was pretty good on the way. Good luck, thank you for your concern."
Uncle Zhang: "..."
He wanted to ask Chen Lu if the road out of the village could be taken since he had returned from outside.
Ji Changze stopped the car, opened the window and shouted to the back: "The road into the village can be walked, the lions have moved."
The people in the village suddenly became excited and excitedly gathered around Ji Changze to ask questions. Some of the impatient ones had already gone home to prepare tools for a good harvest.
Everyone responded with great enthusiasm to Ji Changze who gave useful information: "Naganze, are you back too?"
"It's been a hard journey, isn't it? Do you know what's going on outside the village? Why did the lions move? Hey, I took a look before. Those lions are so fierce and their teeth are so long. Come into the village. Were they moved when they were there, were they not injured? By the way, were there others outside? "
Seeing that no one cares about him, and Ji Changze is admired by all the stars, Chen Lu: "..."
He almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
In school, in front of others, everyone treats me differently. Why should I still be like this when I return to the village where I grew up together
He was very angry, but he felt much better when he thought that these villagers were just people who had no blood relationship with him.
After all, there is no blood relationship. No matter how much you care, how far can you care
His parents were different. In the days without him, they must have been sleepless at night, unable to eat well, skinny as a stick, talking about him every day.
Maybe I will hold his photo and imagine that he is back.
And him! Really back!
Seeing him return home unscathed, not only not thinner but also a lot fatter than before, his parents would be so excited that tears would fill their eyes, their noses and tears would burst into tears and they would hug him and tell them how much they had in the days without him. I miss him so much, I always dream about him.
And at such a critical moment, he would carry his carefully selected chicken legs, pickled vegetables, and biscuits into the house, then hug his parents calmly and tell them that their son was back and they would not suffer anymore in the future.
He will support this family!
Chen's Lu Zheng was caught up in his fantasy and couldn't extricate himself. He heard Ji Changze in front of him asking: "How are my parents? Are they at home now?"
"Your parents? They are at Lulu's house."
Chen Dilu: "???"
Ji Changze's parents are at his home? ?
The first thing that popped into his mind was what the scene would be like every time the two families met.
His mother and Ji Changze's mother had never dealt with each other. Every time he saw the two of them together, they would scold each other, and each scolded them harder than the other. He had listened to his mother say at home countless times that he should have directly They took over the Ji family's place and saw what they could do.
Ji Changze's parents couldn't have gone to their house to bully others before he, the mainstay, came home.
Although his mother is as fat as Ji Changze's mother, Ji Changze's father is a bit taller than his father.
Chen Lu's mind was filled with thoughts of his parents being weak, helpless and pitiful. They were bullied by the dark forces, Ji Changze's parents. He knelt down and cried, crying why his son hadn't come back yet.
For a moment, my heart was panicked and my hands were shaking. As soon as I opened the car door, I stopped driving and ran straight towards home.
Ji Changze will definitely help his parents, but now that there are so many villagers blocking the road, cars can't pass at all, so he must take a preemptive strike.
You must not let your parents fall behind after you have fallen behind.
Behind him, Ji Changze and Guo Junyuan looked at Chen Lu's back and the corners of their eyes twitched.
Guo Junyuan: "Has he always been like this?"
Ji Changze: "Maybe. I feel like I've become a little stupider recently."
He continued to ask the villagers: "Don't my mother and Chen's mother always get along with each other? Why did they get together?"
Ji Changze had never doubted that the two families were fighting. If a fight really broke out, these villagers would not stand by and not stop the fight, let alone talk to them with such a smile and no rush.
"Hey, there are poisonous snakes in the village. Your mother and Chen's mother were scolding each other across the wall this morning. You know, they like this. Chen's mother went to the latrine. Your mother was waiting for her to come back and continued to scold her, but while she was waiting, she saw a snake crawling into Chen Lu's house, and she quickly ran over and knocked on the door."
"It took the two families half an hour to catch the snake. Hey, tell me, if this was a poisonous snake, wouldn't Chen Delu's parents be dead? The poisonous snake is at home, who knows when it will bite. , Lulu, his mother killed one of his chickens, saying that he wanted to thank you, mother."
Ji Changze nodded and said he understood: "My mother is like this, she has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted."
"Yes, I said, your whole family is good. Did you come back with Lulu? Why is he running so fast? Doesn't he have a car?"
Ji Changze thought about Chen Lu's expression when he ran away just now.
"Um… "
He showed a polite but still joking smile: "Maybe... I want to give my family a surprise."
Over there, Chen's Lu simply showed the same level of effort as when he had his body measured. Sayazi ran to the front of his house, looked at the door in front of him, and took a deep breath.
he! Chen’s Lu! The backbone of this family is here to support my parents!
Chen's Lu took another deep breath and took another deep breath, intending to win first in terms of volume.
Inside the house, Mother Chen played mahjong, her face lit up with joy: "You're crazy! Come on, come on, give me your son's photo, I want to add a beard to him, my Lulu is the most elegant one."
At this time, the door was opened from the outside, and a heartbreaking voice suddenly came out.
"mom!!!!!!!"
The four people sitting on the mahjong table were so frightened that they all trembled and looked over with frightened faces.
As for Chen Lu, he was also confused.
There was the smell of chicken stew in the air. In the front yard, there was a mahjong table with four people sitting around it.
His father, his mother, Ji Changze, his mother, Ji Changze, his father.
The four of them were obviously playing mahjong. There was a stove next to it. There was a fire under it and firewood was burning. Chicken soup was bubbling in the pot on top. From Chen Lu's eyes, he could even see it. There are actually a few red dates inside.
This wasn't what confused him the most. What made him unbelievable was that his mother was holding a photo in her hand.
Is that a photo of Ji Changze? ? right? ?
That's his mother! ! !
At this moment, I was sweating profusely from running and looking miserable. Standing in this cheerful courtyard where everyone was playing mahjong and drinking chicken soup, I just felt a sense of sadness.
He felt as if he had been betrayed.
dad! mom! You two traitors.
Uh-huh.
