Chapter 300: The Tiger Sees Off
After Xu Weiwei and Xia Wencai finished eating the bugs, they began to gloat at Fan Bing, Liu Shi and Huang Xiaoming, and when they saw them screaming and running around while putting the bugs in their mouths, the two unscrupulous people were very happy.
After eating the worms, the faces of the three of them turned green, and they felt that life was hopeless, but fortunately Bell just meant it and didn't really ask them to fill their stomachs with it.
In fact, even if you want them to eat worms to fill their stomachs, it is impossible to eat one now, and their faces are blue and black, and the sour water is rising, if they continue to eat, they may have to vomit out more.
As soon as they had eaten the bugs, they were angry with the cows and horses, and along the way Bell occasionally found some leaves or rhizomes for them to eat, but they were more than happy to take on this new challenge than the bugs, although sometimes Bell told them to eat the sticky plants.
Bell continued to open the road first, and when he walked for almost a few kilometers, Xia Wencai's panting Huang Xiaoming took over the wild boar, and most of the time he said that the punishment was just a joke, seeing that Huang Xiaoming was really miserable enough, Xia Wencai still didn't mind sharing it with him, he was full now, and walking a little mountain road said that there was no pressure at all.
A few delicate women also said that they were good, the soreness of their whole bodies had not yet fully adapted, and now there were a few more blisters on their feet, but they were still gritting their teeth and persevering, not giving up, nor asking for rest or anything. After walking for a short time, after finding a small stream, Xia Wencai put down the pork, took Bell's kettle and took the initiative to get water, when he took water, Xia Wencai secretly mixed half a pot of space water into it, seeing that they were all tired, he also wanted to help, although I don't know if space water is useful for relieving their fatigue, but it is good for the body is at least.
Everyone was indeed thirsty, one person took turns pouring a few sips with a kettle, and he didn't care about hygiene or anything, and after almost drinking it, Xia Wencai went to fill another pot and handed it to Bell before starting to start anew.
Everyone was satisfied with the water source they found this time, and thought it was a mountain spring that slipped out. Because of the slight sweetness, the girls also whimsically wanted to find a hot spring bubble, saying that they had been sweating a lot after walking for two days and wanted to take a bath. Although Xia Wencai also fantasized a little about the scene with the three women, he still interrupted their fantasies with Bell, and went to find a hot spring to bathe when he survived in the wilderness? Don't be funny, okay
"Shh After walking a short time, Bell motioned for everyone to squat down, and he noticed something unusual in a nearby bush.
"Isn't there another tiger?" Huang Xiaoming swallowed his saliva and muttered. It seems that the tiger incident made a deep impression on him.
As soon as Huang Xiaoming finished speaking, the women screamed almost at the same time, and the word crow's mouth rose in their hearts, because there was really a colorful tiger jumping out of the bushes and standing less than three meters next to them!
The three girls were almost scared to pee when they were closest to the tiger, and sat on the ground, with a panicked face, covering their mouths with their hands, and now they wanted to scream but didn't dare to scream, and moved back with their legs and buttocks.
"Hey, it looks like the tiger from before?" Xia Wencai recognized it. Because the tiger had an obvious claw mark on his big face, I don't know if it was injured when fighting other beasts or the same kind of beast. "Big cat? What, what's wrong? Xia Wencai signaled that the girls were okay and then walked over and patted its tiger head, seeing that everyone was terrified, for fear that it would swallow Xia Wencai in one bite.
Seeing that it did not attack Xia Wencai, but licked his hand affectionately, Bell also breathed a sigh of relief in a cold sweat, it seemed that it was indeed the tiger mother before.
The tiger licked Xia Wencai for a while, and then took advantage of the tree trunk next to him for a while, and then sprinkled urine, Xia Wencai couldn't see why. Bell thought for a while and said, "I see, it's here to say goodbye, it's to indicate the scope of the territory, it seems that this is the edge of its territory." Such beasts have their own territory, and it is not a special case that they will not step out of their own territory, and it seems that it has come to say goodbye to us. ”
It was the first time for Fan Bing and the others to have close contact with wild beasts, and they were still so big, and after the panic just now, they found that this was the tiger mother who was photographed before. Curiosity began to explode again, and they all circled around the tiger, looking like they wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch it.
Xia Wencai looked funny, walked over and hugged the tiger's neck, motioned for them to come and touch it, he took care of it, the three girls cheered and ran over to touch a handful of fluff on the tiger's back, trembling with excitement, and then stood next to the tiger and kept putting up poss to signal Simon to take a beautiful picture for them.
"Touch it if you want, don't act like a." Xia Wencai saw Huang Xiaoming circling the tiger, obviously wanted to touch it, and pretended to be a passerby, laughing badly, Huang Xiaoming regretted not touching the tiger before, and now he saw a few women who also touched it, and he was naturally itchy, maybe he thought that he almost pitted everyone for the first time, and he was a little embarrassed!
After playing with the tiger for about ten minutes, Xia Wencai and the others reluctantly said goodbye to the tiger and got back on the road, and after walking a long way, they could hear the tiger's roar from behind.
"This tiger mother is so cute, not fierce at all, and feels the same as the animals in the pasture." Xu Weiwei looked back to see if he could still see it, and said.
"I don't know who was almost scared to pee just now, but now I think people are cute again?" Xia Wencai quipped.
"It was an instinctive reaction, I didn't know it would be so friendly." Xu retorted slightly.
"It's a pity that I didn't see those cute little tiger babies." Fan Bing said with a little regret.
Bell smiled: "Those tiger babies are only a few months old, and they can't travel long distances, they are a few kilometers away from their nests, of course the tiger mother will not take the children with them, and it is very unsafe for the cubs to go out with them, and many other beasts will attack the cubs, even if they are of the same kind, they will often attack other people's cubs, so the tigress usually goes out to hunt and will let the cubs stay in the nest, unless they feel that their nest is not safe, they will take the tiger baby to transfer places."
"Won't baby tigers run around at home on their own? What if other beasts find out? Liu Shi asked curiously.
"Animal cubs are very well-behaved, their mother told it to stay and they will not leave a certain range there, but if the tigress goes out, it happens to be found by other beasts in the nest, the cubs will run away, but they have little chance of escaping, most of them will be killed on the spot, one is not fast, the other is that the beast will search for their smell, the possibility of escape is very low, so the wild beast does not look at the fierce and invincible, but the mortality rate is very high when the cub is young, and it can grow into an adult, less than 50 percent, In a place as highly competitive as the African savannah, the survival rate of cubs will be reduced. Belle gave them a good idea of how to learn about animals.
"So they were so pitiful when they were young?" The girls were a little sympathetic, and the thought of the cute tiger baby photographed before could also be killed by other beasts made me feel a little pantothenic.
"It's okay here, first of all, there are not many natural enemies of large beasts, and the prey is relatively sufficient, the female beast should return to the nest soon to provide protection for the cubs, if it is in the African savannah, many female beasts go out for a day or two, most of the cubs die at this time, and there is a territory there, mixed with different beasts, that is to say, they also have to beware of ill-intentioned neighbors." Bell continued.
Only then did everyone know that the usually majestic beasts seemed to be quite miserable, especially the lion, known as the king of beasts, was actually one of the beasts with the highest mortality rate among cubs, which surprised them. (To be continued.) )
