"Squeak!" A small rat's head poked out from a hole in the ground not far away, apparently attracted by the bloody gas.

When he looked at the liver on the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he looked at the leopard hesitantly, and shrunk his head and didn't dare to get out of the hole.

The leopard simply ignored the small animal.

Lu Yi picked up the liver and beckoned to the mouse: "Do you like it? Come here, let's be good friends, good friends can share food." Isn't that right, baby?"

The leopard cub was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it, it would be nice to have two more playmates at once, so he nodded.

The mouse was overjoyed and rushed to Lu Yi, and the man stood up, grabbed the liver with his two front paws and took a big bite to eat.

Don't look at his small body and small mouth, but the speed of eating is not slow at all, and after a while, the liver that is almost the same size as him is gone. And his belly was propped up, and his body was twice as large as before.

Lu Yi couldn't help but reach out and touch his stomach. "Is this a stomach made of rubber?"

The rat "giggled" and laughed: "Don't, don't, don't!"

Lu Yi was a little strange: "All the animals here can talk?"

The mouse was slightly proud: "Each race has its own words, and if you human races say something, I will say a little." If you are a Clan, a Feather Clan, a Dragon Clan, or a Scale Clan, I will also say a little. ”

The leopard cub interjected: "You are so powerful! I can only speak the words of the beasts and humans, and I haven't learned anything else." The A clan is underground, the feather clan is in the sky, the scale clan is in the water, and although the dragon clan can go anywhere, it is not common in the forest, so even if you learn them, you can't usually use them much. ”

The rat was more and more happy when he heard the praise, and his face covered with gray fluff glowed red. "Actually, I didn't study seriously, our family is all over the world, and there are many words that they can do, and they talk to their own people, and sometimes they will carry a little bit of words from various races, and I will listen to it like this. ”

The leopard cub was even more envious. "It's amazing to be able to speak so well without serious learning!"

The rats are having fun. "Whatever you want to learn, I'll teach you. ”

The leopard cub looked up and asked Lu Yi. "Okay, okay, do you want to come along?"

Lu Yi scratched his head. "If I know a little beast, the others won't, my godfather said I was stupid, and it took so many years to learn one. I don't know if I can learn anything else. ”

The leopard cub encouraged him. "It's okay, it's very simple, don't be afraid!"

The leopard was not far away smiling and watching the three of them huddle together and chirp. "Okay kids, come and play after eating. ”

The leopard cub jumped up and ran over and proudly introduced: "Mom, this is my new friend." ”

Then he turned his head and asked Lu Yi, "What's your name?"

"Lu Yi. ”

The leopard cub asked the mouse again, "What about you?"

"San'er. ”

The leopard cub introduced himself: "My name is Baby. This is my mom. You can call her ......"

Looking up at the leopard, the leopard licked the top of his head.

The leopard cub pursed his lips and said angrily, "Mom, don't lick my head in front of my friends, okay?"

The leopard sat up straight and acquiesced to his request.

The leopard cub finally came up with a name. "You call her Aunt Hua. Mom, are you okay?"

The leopard blinked and smiled, "Good to hear." ”

Lu Yi and San'er said in unison: "Aunt Hua is good." ”

The leopard smiled: "Eat it." I'll go up and get some sleep. ”

Then he yawned, climbed up the tree, and found a thick branch to lay down and take a nap.

The leopard cub lowered his head and ate it with relish, while Lu Yi found a piece of dry wood, pulled a pile of dead grass and covered it, rubbed out the sparks with a wooden stick, and lit a fire to roast the meat.

The fire wakes the leopard awake, which is not common.

At first, he was a little worried about the leopard cub, but when he saw Lu Yi carefully controlling the flames, he always enclosed himself in a small open space to prevent it from touching the surrounding grass and trees, and gave up his intention to interfere.

The cub had apparently never seen fire, and walked around it curiously, stretching out its front paws several times to test it.

The leopard's heart rises to its throat, and it stoops down and stands on the branch, ready to leap down at any moment.

The leopard cub instinctively did not put its front paws into the fire, but only tossed the sparks on the outer wood chips, as if it had been burned, and quickly took a few steps back, pouting its small mouth, as if about to cry, but held back.

The leopard showed an unbearable expression, paced restlessly in the tree, thought and thought, and decided to observe again.

The leopard cub apparently did not notice its mother's mood swings, and after a temporary shock, immediately reverted to its optimistic nature, except that it never came into close contact with the fire again. He probably knew from then that it wasn't something to play with, it was going to bite.

After Lu Yi was full, he half lay down under the tree and basked in the sun comfortably.

Tao Yunjin breathed a long sigh of relief and woke up from a coma, only then did he get a hint of relaxation, and said with emotion: "Brother Yi, your world is really so cruel! There are man-eating beasts everywhere, and they can finish people with just a spell." ”

Ah Yi: "This scares you? Wild beasts eat man, and man eats wild beasts. The demons can spell, and so will the humans. ”

Tao Yunjin: "Then why don't you know spells?"

Ah Yi was a little distressed: "Grandpa is not called learning too early, you have to lay a good foundation in martial arts before you can go to school spells and become a mage." I guess with my qualifications, it may be as far as a priest. ”

Tao Yunjin: "What about going up?"

Ah Yi: "Monks, gods, and gods are the gods, and there are only ten in the world, five for the human race, and five for the demon race." ”

Tao Yunjin: "So, the human race and the demon race in the world are equally divided?"

Ah Yi shook his head: "You can't say that." There are still many demons, and the five major races are all over the world. There are few people, and most of them are in the city, because there are strong monks and monks in the city to guard them, and there are no more dangers than when they are outside like our village. ”

Tao Yunjin nodded in agreement: "There are too many dangers outside, and you still have to rely on the big guy." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the leopard in the tree, and then lowered his head and sighed: "I'm not used to being here, my little heart can't stand it, so I still want to go home quickly." ”

Ah Yi was curious: "Then what is your world?"

Tao Yunjin was infinitely melancholy: "I didn't think it before, but now I find out that we are good there! Wild beasts are locked in iron cages, livestock are specially waiting to be slaughtered, spells are used to make people happy, people can invent electricity, guns, tanks, atomic bombs, people are the best in the world, whoever dares to provoke people, who will die." ”

Ah Yi was surprised: "There is such a world? Without relying on spells, how can people defeat wild beasts and become the number one in the world?"

Tao Yunjin: "By wisdom! People can use tools, invent gunpowder, and make weapons, and gradually the beasts will be killed, and the rest will be hidden." ”

Ah Yi looked up and thought for a long time, then pouted: "Impossible, how can there be such a world." You must have been frightened and fantasized. ”

Tao Yunjin frowned: "If you haven't seen it, you don't believe it." Obstinate. ”

Ah Yi was displeased: "I think you still face the reality and think less about those useless ones!"

Tao Yunjin clenched his fists: "Why don't I face the reality anymore? I'm trying to adapt to this world." ”

Ah Yi snorted: "Start by eating raw food." I can't just make a fire all at once, because the fire will attract demons. Not only is the demon not afraid of fire, but he also knows that this thing can only be used by the human race. ”

Tao Yunjin weakly let go of his fist, glanced at the half tapir corpse that was dragged by the leopard to the tree and prevented other animals from taking it, imagining the taste of eating it raw, feeling another strange feeling in his stomach, and quickly looked away.

San'er got out of the hole, climbed on Lu Yi's stomach, found a comfortable position to lie down, and said with a smile: "Our family is all over the world, and there is no gossip that I don't know." I just went home and inquired and guess what I heard?"

Ah Yi ignored him, and Tao Yunjin's ears stood up: "Tell me." ”

San'er: "The baby is not Aunt Hua's only son, she also had an eldest son before and died." The baby was born to her second husband. It's not this that is exciting, but that the eldest son was killed by Aunt Hua's second husband. Aunt Hua blinded the leopard in one eye. ”

Lu Yi exclaimed: "Isn't that cheap? I should have swallowed him alive! How did the little leopard get killed?"

San'er: "Aunt Hua often goes out to hunt, and the male leopard is in the tree with the little leopard. The little leopard was eating a deer and accidentally fell to the ground, so he went down to pick it up. It just so happened that a pack of coyotes came. Coyotes are not only eyeing deer, but also baby leopards. The male leopard jumped down from under the tree, picked up the deer and went up the tree, but did not save the little leopard. When Aunt Hua came back, the little leopard was only left with bone slag. ”

Tao Yunjin opened her mouth wide: "This is really my stepfather, that's right." ”

San'er also sighed again and again: "Who said it wasn't!"

Tao Yunjin shook his head slowly: "Although he is a stepfather, he is really a little lacking in morality." Ordinary people can't do this kind of thing. ”

Ah Yi shrugged and said: "Many animals are like this, male lions will also kill other people's children, and many birds will lay eggs in other people's nests, squeeze other chicks out of the nest and fall to death." ”

Tao Yunjin glanced at him: "Don't you raise the bar, okay? I just sighed, why are you so serious?"

Ah Yi: "It's not more true, that's the truth, I see and hear these things every day, and I don't think there's anything to feel emotional." You're too sentimental. ”

Tao Yunjin opened her mouth and stammered: "I'm sentimental? ”

Ah Yi rolled his eyelids: "Then you can go back." ”

Tao Yunjin was angry and speechless. Suddenly, I felt a drop of water fall on top of my head, and when I looked up, behind the dense leaves, the baby's face was full of tears.

Lu Yi and San'er were very embarrassed: "Baby, why are you here? Didn't you go with Aunt Hua to learn to hunt?"

The baby burst into tears: "My dad killed my brother - woo - no wonder mom hates dad so much." ”

"What are you talking about?" a voice full of displeasure rang out, and the leopard stood not far away.

The baby cried as he climbed down from the tree and slowly walked into the leopard's arms. "Mom, did Dad really kill my brother? You never told me. I always thought in my heart that my dad was a good guy and a hero. ”

Aunt Hua glanced at Lu Yi and San'er angrily.

Lu Yi and San'er stiffened their bodies and laughed dryly. "Aunt Hua, we didn't mean to tell the baby. ”

The baby continued to cry: "You all know it, but you don't tell me." ”

He buried his head in the soft fur of the leopard's chest, hoping that the leopard would lick him with his tongue and soothe him in his sadness and loss.

But the leopard remained motionless and waited patiently for him to finish crying.

The baby raised his head and saw the leopard's serious face in his teary eyes.

The leopard said seriously: "Mom didn't mean to hide it from you, she was waiting for you to grow up." Now that you're older, you only cry when you hear about it?"

Your baby is at a loss and doesn't know what else he should do.

The leopard sighed, "When your brother was torn apart by the coyote, he was about the same age as you are now. At that time, my mother went hunting and didn't take care of him for a while, just like this time you were attacked by a python. I really didn't expect your father to be so ruthless and selfish, only caring about the deer and ignoring my son. So he got the retribution he deserved. But your brother's death, in the final analysis, was because he was too weak. He accidentally let the deer fall under the tree, and at the same time did not notice the coyote approaching, and recklessly went down the tree to pick up the deer. made these few low-level mistakes in a row, which led to the final tragic ending. ”

She lowered her head and looked the baby in the eye. "Now that you're older, remember that people don't allow you to make mistakes like your mother did. If someone sees you make a mistake, they won't hesitate to take the opportunity to bite your throat. Got it?"

Stop your baby's tears.

The leopard continued: "Also, cry for your brother and father, only this time, not next time." ”

The baby takes a deep breath and nods vigorously.

The leopard's tone was still stern: "Finally, I will say again, when you are taught to hunt, you must not be allowed to be greedy and deserted! ”

The baby put away his tears, cheered up, and turned his head towards Lu Yi and San'er: "Let's go, let's go together." Do you hear what Mom said? If you're too weak, you're going to have your throat bitten. ”

Lu Yi and San'er were also infected by the leopard and hurriedly followed.
