After dawn.
Chu Xiaoye stood up from the hillside and left quietly.
At this time, Maya needs to be fed milk and will not go out to hunt. The lion cubs are safe for the time being.
However, she hasn't eaten in several days.
If you can't have a full stomach, the milk supply will gradually decrease, which will definitely affect the newborn lion cubs.
So, Chu Xiaoye decided to go for a walk in the bush.
Maybe you can encounter a few unlucky hares or warthogs.
That giant python last night was so abnormal.
Even if he had the opportunity to take away the flesh and blood, he did not dare to let Maya eat it after giving birth.
There are some toxins and diseases that healthy lions may be able to resist and be immune to, but for a weak mother and a cub that needs to feed on her milk, it is likely to be fatal.
The morning sun scorches the earth like a flame.
Even in the bushes with shade, it was still scorching and uncomfortable, and even the air felt as hot as burning.
Chu Xiaoye opened her mouth to dissipate the heat. She originally wanted to stick out her tongue, but when she remembered that she was a lion, not a dog, she had to give up.
The whole bush was silent and empty.
He had no choice but to walk in the direction of the Seno lion pride's territory.
Maybe you can meet one or two prey there.
However, he met a lion.
In a bush at the border of the Senor pride's territory, a thin, messy lioness was eating with her head down.
That was the lioness of the Seno pride.
She seemed to be in a daze, and it wasn't until Chu Xiaoye came closer that she raised her head and looked at him with her mouth full of blood.
She didn't show her fangs, nor was she nervous or angry. She just stood there quietly, staring at him blankly, her eyes looking dull and empty.
Chu Xiaoye stopped at the border and looked at the food at her feet.
Those were two furry lion cubs.
It seemed that not long after it was born, only the bloody half of the body of a lion cub was left.
They all turned into corpses.
Chu Xiaoye raised his gaze and looked at the lioness again.
Her belly, which was originally bulging, was now deflated, and she had obviously given birth.
Chu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, then looked at the body of the lion cub on the ground.
The air is hot and still.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable breathing, turned around, and left silently.
The lioness stared at his back for a while. When she saw him walking away, she lowered her head and continued eating.
There was almost no bird in the empty bush.
Chu Xiaoye walked for a while, feeling a little confused, so she had to return to the camp.
Father Leng and the lionesses all hid in the shade and slept.
They were still hungry.
When Little Curly and Meimei saw him coming back, they quickly got up and ran over, looking at him eagerly.
They are also very hungry.
Chu Xiaoye glanced at them. The healthy and plump body was in sharp contrast to the thin and withered lioness just now.
Now, in every corner of this grassland, there are probably animals dying of hunger or thirst.
He did not dare to guess the cause of death of the two lion cubs.
He was afraid of misunderstanding something or guessing something correctly.
He ignored Little Curly and Meimei, walked to the baobab tree, and climbed up.
The dry season has just begun.
Every day from now on will be more and more difficult.
There was no way he was going to let them use the food stored in the tree right now.
Unless, they also have children to feed.
Chu Xiaoye climbed up the branch, took out half of the dried wart pork from the storage room, and climbed down again.
At this time, for Little Curly and Meimei, these garbage prey that once occupied the nest they worked so hard to make immediately turned into delicacies, stimulating their taste buds and hungry stomachs all the time.
Looking at the warthog meat in their brother's mouth, they drooled and hurriedly greeted him with flattering faces.
They were so excited.
It’s finally time to eat!
"Ouch—"
Father Leng roared and stood up from the shade.
He deliberately did not look here, but yawned, holding his head high with a majestic look on his face, hoping that Chu Xiaoye would notice him.
This little guy has always understood the rules. He should know who to give that piece of meat to without his reminding.
The lionesses who were resting also raised their heads and looked at the piece of warthog with covetous eyes.
They had been hungry for several days.
But.
Chu Xiaoye ignored them, didn't even look at them, took the meat in his mouth, got into the bushes behind, and left quickly.
Father Leng stayed where he was, seemingly unable to accept this result.
This kid, just a few days old, has started to wander again
Xi'er looked at that figure, her eyes flickering, as if she understood something.
Seeing that their brother was ignoring them, Little Curly Wei and Meimei hurriedly followed him, running around him anxiously, making pitiful "ouch" sounds from their mouths.
It's like saying: "Brother, I'm hungry! Rourou! I want to eat Rourou!"
Now, don’t they think these tasteless meats are garbage
Little Curly was originally planning to throw them all away.
At this time, they finally understood their brother's good intentions and his super wisdom.
They fell to the ground in admiration.
These meats are all prepared for them!
There are so many, filling three entire storage rooms, which must be enough for them to eat every day.
But now, why is my brother holding meat in his mouth and ignoring them
They were hungry and anxious, shouting "ouch", twisting their bodies, wagging their tails, and going to step forward to lick their brother's butt.
All kinds of tricks, all kinds of flattery and flattery, but unfortunately none of them let their brother look at them.
After a while, the two little guys were tired and panting, their mouths were dry, and they had to stop their funny actions.
They followed their brother, wanting to see where he took Rourou.
When passing through the woods, Chu Xiaoye slowed down, turned his head, and looked at the boundary of the territory of the Seno Lions.
I wonder if the lioness is still there.
But what does it have to do with him
He held the meat in his mouth and moved on.
Soon, we arrived at the rocky hill.
He looked around cautiously for a while, then climbed up the hillside and walked towards the pile of rocks.
The little curly tail opened his mouth, panting, and started to scream dissatisfied again.
What is my brother doing? He is so hungry!
As soon as we approached a cave, there was a sudden "ouch" and the nervous and ferocious roar of a lioness!
Little Curly Wei and Meimei were startled.
Then, they were surprised. It was Maya's voice, and Maya was hiding inside! Brother came here to give Maya meat to eat
Chu Xiaoye stopped at the entrance of the cave, not daring to move forward. He had to put the meat in his mouth on the ground, and then retreated with Little Curly Tail and Meimei.
Not long after, Maya crawled out of the hole with a low body, quickly walked to the piece of warthog, and immediately started devouring it.
She looked starved.
At this time, two furry little heads suddenly emerged from the cave, making a milky "ouch" sound from their mouths, and two pairs of round eyes, clear and bright, with a naive and cute look. .
At this moment, the grievances and dissatisfaction felt towards their brother in the hearts of Little Juanwei and Meimei immediately disappeared and turned into nothing.
They opened their mouths and widened their eyes, staring blankly at this pair of lovely new beings.
That's their brother, or sister.
