As soon as they came up from the edge of the reservoir, they met a small antelope, and the lion and Ah Huang cleverly quickly went around behind it to outflank its retreat, and then slowly approached from behind it.

However, this little antelope did not panic, but tilted its head and looked at Zhang Taiping with big eyes as pure as water.

Zhang Taiping waved to Ah Huang and the lion, and the two big dogs stopped, but they still squatted not far behind the little antelope, waiting for their master to give orders. Zhang Taiping recognized it, this is the little antelope he met when he came last time and took a photo with everyone when he was drinking water by the river.

Zhang Taiping slowly approached it, put his hand on its head and touched it, and it also stretched out its tongue and licked Zhang Taiping's palm.

The people next to them were stunned for a while, this handsome animal is too good.

Although Zhang Taiping couldn't guess what everyone was thinking, he could see the surprised expressions on their faces, and explained with a smile: "Uncle Qian, do you remember the little antelope you met last time you came?" ”

"Is this the one?" Old man Qian asked uncertainly. It's been a few months, and the little antelope has grown a lot, and in the eyes of most people, the animals are the same, so Old Man Qian didn't recognize it.

"yes, that's the one, it recognizes me." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

Seeing how cute the little antelope is, He Lin also came over and asked to take a photo with the little antelope to commemorate it.

After taking the picture, Zhang Taiping waved his hand to the little antelope, and everyone moved towards the wooden house. These two eyes looked a little reluctant to Zhang Taiping, and did not run away immediately, but stood in place and watched Zhang Taiping's figure disappear before turning around and jumping to the edge of the reservoir to drink water.

When I returned to the house, I started to cook dinner, and the fresh fish soup that the old man Qian made in the cauldron was not as fresh and tender as the sabertooth fish, but the soup made by virtue of superb craftsmanship and natural wild fish was not inferior to some chefs in the hotel.

After dinner, everyone began to rest, and tomorrow we will be ready to go home. Although there were no large animals on the way, and there was no danger, the three of them did not relax at all, who knew what was hidden in the mountains and forests at night, so the three of them still took turns to keep vigil at night.

In the first half of the night, Zhang Taiping kept vigil, so he held a fire with a lion and Ah Huang to keep watch in front of the door. Although Old Man Qian and Wang Gui were asleep and resting, their guns and iron forks were kept at hand, so that they could wake up at any time and touch their weapons to deal with all emergencies.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the work of the fire was a little weak, Zhang Taiping added some wooden branches to it, and picked it with a wooden stick to make the fire burn more vigorously. Some people may ask, isn't lighting a fire in the dark to attract wild beasts? In fact, everyone who lives in the mountains knows that wild beasts do not rely on their eyes to find their prey at night, but by their noses. For animals, the peculiar smell of a human body will be more like a guiding lamp in the dark of night than a fire. Lighting a fire has a deterrent effect on the beasts in the mountains, and without exception, animals are still quite afraid of fire.

Just as Zhang Taiping threw the wooden stick in his hand into the fire, the two big dogs suddenly roared and pounced in the direction of the front of the door where someone had stepped out of a path. Zhang Taiping also heard the sound, but he scolded loudly: "Ah Huang! Lion! ”

The two big dogs stopped when they heard Zhang Taiping's barking, and did not pounce forward, but returned to stand on Zhang Taiping's left and right sides, ready to attack at any time.

Zhang Taiping listened intently for a while, and the sound became quieter and quieter, indicating that the thing left quickly.

"What's wrong?" Old man Qian and Wang Gui got up and came out of the house when they heard the barking of the dog, and closed the door by the way, Old Qian asked Zhang Taiping with a solemn face. It is not a good thing to encounter a dog barking at night in the mountains and forests, which means that the danger is near, so Old Man Qian does not dare to take it lightly.

"Something approached, and it was quickly called by the lion and Ah Huang." Zhang Taiping replied.

The three of them sat on the edge of the fire and watched cautiously, and none of them offered to take the initiative. In the night of the mountains and forests, the main thing is to keep until dawn, and people can't see in the night, but animals have a unique ability, first of all, people have suffered a big loss in terms of vision, so taking the initiative is the best policy.

Ah Huang and the lion were also squatting next to the three of them, with their ears on guard.

After being quiet for a while, Zhang Taiping suddenly heard a soft sound again, and at the same time, Ah Huang and the lion also bowed and roared, although Wang Gui and Old Man Qian couldn't hear the sound, but they could see something from the performance of the two big dogs, and clenched the weapons in their hands.

As soon as Ah Huang and the lion roared, the sound gradually faded away, and Ah Huang and the lion also quieted down and re-guarded. Zhang Taiping and the three of them looked at each other, what was going on? What about playing tricks? I don't know why, the three of them chose the most conservative method, that is, to sit next to the fire and not understand how to see what kind of moth it can play.

After two more times like this, and the sound even came to the front again, and the two big dogs were about to pounce, but they were both cared for by Zhang Tai'an.

No, the sound is from far and near, and this time it seems to be particularly flustered, and the distance is closer. Suddenly, Zhang Taiping's heart moved, and he said to Wang Gui and Old Man Qian: "You guys wait here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Old man Qian hurriedly said: "It's still not necessary, it's better to have more than one thing, and it will be fine when it dawns." ”

"It's only past midnight, and it's still early before dawn, so you can't always be nervous like this. I'll go take a look. Zhang Taiping insisted.

"I'll be with you." Wang Gui said.

"No need, you guys watch the house here, there are four people in there, the first thing is to protect them." Zhang Taiping rejected Wang Gui's companions.

Old man Qian couldn't persuade him, so he said: "Then you should be careful, just take a look around, and you don't have to go too far." If there is something, I will immediately shout loudly, and Wang Gui and I can also go over and help. ”

"Got it." Zhang Taiping responded, and then thought about Ah Huang, who wanted to stand up, and said, "Ah Huang, stay!" The lion followed. ”

Ah Huang obediently squatted on the edge of the fire, and the lion followed Zhang Taiping's footsteps.

Turning to the dark, Zhang Taiping patted the lion's back and signaled it not to make a sound, and a man and a dog moved softly and softly in the direction of the sound and near.

Zhang Taiping's eyes are different from ordinary people, and he can clearly see the things around him at night, which is better than some animals that come out at night.

Sure enough, his conjecture was correct, and as the sound approached, the little antelope he had seen in the afternoon ran quickly towards this place in a panic, as if something was chasing after him. After seeing Zhang Taiping, he was obviously very happy, but he was a little afraid of the lion beside Zhang Taiping who bared his teeth and roared and did not dare to approach, and ran anxiously to the ground with hooves in place.

Zhang Taiping patted the lion and signaled that the little antelope should not be afraid to come boldly. Maybe the things chasing behind were too terrifying, and the little antelope temporarily overcame its fear of lions and slowly paced to Zhang Taiping.

At this moment, all the brown fur on the lion's body stood up, and it looked like it was facing a great enemy. At the same time, two clouds of phosphorus-green faint light appeared on the tree not far away, but they were a pair of animal eyes. The only person who can face an animal like a gazelle that is known for its running speed in the trees is a leopard.

Yes, it's a leopard. The owner of the two phosphorescence clouds slowly walked out of the leaves and stood on the trunk of the tree, and Zhang Taiping could see it clearly. The patterns on the body look like golden copper coins. Or a money leopard!

Zhang Taiping understood what was going on tonight. It must be that the little antelope is playing greedily and going back late, and is targeted by this money leopard that came out to hunt at night. But although the little antelope looks cute, it is not stupid, but a little wise. Constantly approaching Zhang Taiping's side, as soon as the two big dogs made a sound, the leopard retreated, and the little antelope did not dare to approach the lion and Ah Huang also retreated. But the golden leopard was not willing to give up its prey like this, and it never went far, and the little antelope couldn't get out, so the two were deadlocked.

It wasn't until Zhang Taiping and the lion appeared that the little antelope was saved. The leopard was still unwilling to give up its prey like this, standing on the branch and waiting.

After Zhang Taiping figured out what was going on, he knew how to deal with it, and the easiest way was to drive the leopard away.

Bow your head and pick up a rock on the ground and throw it at the leopard in the tree. The leopard twisted slightly above the tree to dodge, then turned around and landed far away from another tree like lightning with a few jumps from tree to tree, but it did not leave, and its phosphorescent ghost-like eyes were still floating among the trees. It still doesn't seem to want to leave.

Walked towards the big tree where the lion was staying, and the little antelope behind him hesitated for a moment but followed, it still felt safer to stay by Zhang Taiping's side.

Zhang Taiping came to the big tree not far away, and the leopard stood on the tree and stared at Zhang Taiping. He squatted down again to pick up stones, the leopard saw this and wanted to turn around and escape, Zhang Taiping threw stones this time was not as casual as last time, although its body was sensitive, but it was still hit by Zhang Taiping's stone, and fell from the tree with a wail.

The body is light, and when he falls from a three-meter-high tree, he adjusts his landing posture in the air, and his four paws fall lightly on the ground as if he jumped from the tree, without a trace of embarrassment.

It seems that he has also been provoked to be murderous, and after landing on the ground, he no longer runs away, but bows up and attacks.

Seeing this, the lion also pounced forward and prepared for battle. Zhang Taiping did not stop the lion, the growth of a good dog is a must, only under the test of life and death through the baptism of blood can really grow up and become the king of dogs. Without the tempering of life and death and blood, no matter how good the breed is, it is just a pet at best.

A dog and a leopard confronted each other for a while, but in the end, the lion couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to attack.
