Breakfast was very rich.
Five gazelles were eaten.
Sister Belita was also lucky enough to share a few pieces and lay on the tree, eating with gusto.
Chu Xiaoye felt a little strange.
If it were in the past, Leng's father would be very angry if he saw a leopard coming to snatch food, even his friends.
But now, Father Leng seems to be very happy to share his prey with the leopard sisters.
Chu Xiaoye's appetite increased.
Almost a whole gazelle entered his stomach, but there were no signs of being stretched on his stomach.
He digested it quickly and turned it all into energy and waste, which were stored in his body.
He felt so bad.
However, after a moment of patience, it disappeared again.
He can release it as he pleases.
Of course, now is not the time.
Everyone is having a full stomach and resting in the shade.
Meimei was beside Maya, teasing Nunu and Qiqi with bones with a hint of flesh and blood, playing with the two little guys.
From the nearby cave, the sounds of the big pit and the female warthog were heard.
Father Leng was lying in the grass not far away, squinting his eyes and concentrating.
The other members were enjoying the morning sun.
Chu Xiaoye hesitated for a moment and decided to wait until evening when he took them to the river to drink water before telling them about the migration.
He took Catherine with him and went out on patrol.
When we were at the border line, we suddenly saw a group of old male lions leaving together and heading towards the grassland outside.
There were about a dozen male lions in this group, and they all seemed to come from the same territory, which was under the jurisdiction of Zamao.
Chu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment and immediately chased after him.
The leading lion soon discovered him, hesitated, stopped, and looked at him with nervous and complicated eyes.
The other lions also stopped, turned their heads, and looked at him, with timidity, disappointment, sadness, and helplessness in their eyes.
Chu Xiaoye came to them with doubts on his face.
Are you running away from home and going to the grasslands occupied by black lions
Most of these male lions are old and frail. Some have lost their teeth, some are hobbling, and some have slow reactions. Their faces and bodies are covered with fresh scratches and traces of fighting.
For a moment, Chu Xiaoye seemed to understand something.
And this group of old lions also lowered their heads and remained silent, respectful and distant.
They seemed to no longer regard themselves as a member of this team, but they still maintained respect for this young king.
At this time, Zamao hurried over and came to Chu Xiaoye with a scratch on his face.
With the size and strength of this lion king, no member of that team could threaten him, and it was impossible for any member to dare to hurt him.
Apparently, he suffered a setback while trying to break up the fight.
Zamao glanced at the group of old lions, then looked at Chu Xiaoye, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.
He tried his best.
However, such a team is not like the super pride he once had, nor is it like any other pride.
No lion group on the grassland is allowed to allow old and incompetent lions to spend their days doing nothing in their own territory and pride.
In the territory managed by Zamao, there are probably more than 70 members of various sizes, and the amount of food they need each time is also very astonishing.
These old male lions were unable to hunt. Even when patrolling around, they were sleepy and weak. So today, the lionesses finally couldn't help but burst out.
When the lionesses worked together to catch the food and prepare to take the cubs to enjoy it, the group of old male lions walked over again and prepared to eat.
As a result, conflicts broke out.
The lionesses couldn't bear it any more, and so did the young male lions. So, regardless of any rules, they immediately began to bite and drive away these useless old male lions.
Food is limited and they will never allow useless members to share!
This has been the rule of the lions since ancient times.
Those who are old and frail should take the initiative to leave, and don’t drag down the entire lion group!
What's more, they are not relatives, they are not from the same lion group, they are just together temporarily.
Therefore, they are no longer patient!
Zamao heard the noise and rushed over to dissuade them, but he could not calm down the completely furious lionesses and young male lions.
He also knew that it was against the rules to leave an old lion free to eat and drink in the team.
If this continues, it will only drag down the entire team.
So, these dozen old male lions were driven away by the lionesses and the young male lions.
They were depressed and sad, with nowhere to go, so they had no choice but to walk together, leaving here and heading towards their former grassland and their former home, hoping to find a land on the vast grassland where they could continue to live for a few more days. .
Looking at these old lions and the old and lonely look in their eyes, Chu Xiaoye felt sad, but she fell silent.
Those lionesses and young male lions were not wrong.
On this grassland, even within the same pride, the old and useless father will be cruelly driven away by the lionesses without mercy.
Only in this way can the entire lion group continue to reproduce.
The old male lions are unable to hunt, repel enemies, and protect their homeland, and they also need to consume a lot of food. If the lions do not make up their minds to drive them away, then this lion group will soon be eliminated. .
Chu Xiaoye also thought about this issue when he took them in.
He thought that after a while, the territory would expand, there would be more food, and everyone would be more united, and all problems would be solved.
However, he did not expect that conflicts would begin to break out so quickly.
Since this problem has already broken out in the territory managed by Zamao, other territories should soon follow suit.
Those lions who are old, frail, and disabled, if nothing else happens, will probably be disliked and disgusted, and it will suddenly break out one day.
Chu Xiaoye wanted to protect them, but was unable to help.
It is impossible for him to use his own rights to break the ancient rules of the lion group, and it is even less possible for him to force all members to use their lives to support these old and useless lions.
If this is the case, then this team that has finally gathered together will soon face disintegration.
What should he do
Seeing that he didn't express anything, Zamao immediately understood what he meant.
He growled at the group of old lions, bared his fangs, and told them not to hesitate and leave quickly.
He will bear this bad reputation!
The glimmer of hope that those dozen male lions had when they saw the young king was extinguished in an instant.
They lowered their heads, sad and desperate, and walked away slowly with heavy steps.
The morning sun shone on their bodies, and their sparse hair and slow pace made them look even more aged.
However, who still remembers that they were once majestic kings who frightened their enemies? Who still remembers that they once had their manes flying, bravely killing enemies, and risking their own lives to protect their loved ones and homeland
Chu Xiaoye suddenly felt a burning gaze coming from behind.
He turned his head and saw Father Leng's majestic and complicated eyes.
Father Leng looked away from him and looked at the group of old lions who were slowly leaving with their heads lowered.
The morning wind ruffled his mane and his majestic face.
He stood there, motionless for a long time.
