Chapter 12: Tiger Mother Gives Birth
Just as Aida sensed the gloom of the cliff and had no intention of playing again, she hurried in the direction of the tribe, passing a recessed cliff, and she instinctively glanced inside. It was this glance that made her instantly creepy, her legs trembling, and she held her breath.
Aida saw that a big-bellied adult saber-toothed tiger was lying just over ten steps away from her, and when she saw her, she stood up suddenly, pricked up her ears, stared at her fiercely, and pulled the fur on her nose, revealing the roots of her long and sharp teeth, and demonstrated with a "whin". Aida immediately realized that at this moment, his flesh and blood was going to become this guy's meal. Her mind flashed over the figures of Aunt Ugg and Etta. Perhaps, this is a kind of memory and nostalgia for the people closest to you.
At this moment, Aida stood there quietly, letting her legs tremble as much as she could, not daring to make big movements, not daring to retreat, and not daring to raise her feet to move forward. She worries that what if she continues to walk forward and the saber-toothed tiger attacks from behind? What if I step back and it senses my fear and pounces? After all, these two assumptions are not as simple as "what to do". Probably, it will immediately get angry, jump over and bite me to death, and then eat the bones along with it.
Aida's heart was raised, and the tremors in her legs had spread to her upper limbs. She didn't dare to look at the huge creature in front of her, and she didn't dare to make eye contact with it, for fear of angering it. Don't even dare to look away, otherwise, you don't even know how you died. She lowered her head slightly, monitoring the saber-toothed tiger's expression with the peripheral vision of her eyes. The tendons all over her body were tense, always on guard, ready to dodge at any time. She even thought that if the saber-toothed tiger pounced, she would jump into the river, even though she couldn't swim herself, and it would be better to drown than to feed the tiger. At least keep a body intact. She even resented why she wasn't a fish or a shrimp? Seeing that the saber-toothed tiger did not immediately pounce on her motive to bite her, Aida mustered up her courage and slowly crouched down and gently put the spear in her hand on the ground.
The saber-toothed tiger also observed Aida's every move, analyzing whether the child in front of him would pose a threat to it. It saw Aida crouch down, and disarmed to show weakness, and its heightened alertness a little.
Judging from the saber-toothed tiger's drooping ears and slightly closed eyes, Tianying's clever Aida didn't really get angry, and what it did just now didn't mean to attack, just a kind of expulsion and defense.
Aida cautiously tried to move her feet back to see how the saber-toothed tiger would react. What she didn't expect was that she moved her feet back slightly, and the saber-toothed tiger, which was still fierce just now, was like a spear in the heart, and his body was crooked, and he fell down and lay on the ground.
Aida breathed a few sighs of relief, calming her nervous heartbeat, but she still didn't dare to stand up immediately.
The saber-toothed tiger lay there, trembling and making painful struggles.
Aida thought to herself that maybe it was injured, and the injury was not severe. She searched carefully throughout the saber-toothed tiger's body, and sure enough, she found a blood spot in the gap between one of its front paws. At this moment, the saber-toothed tiger retracted its front paws, put them to its mouth and licked them with its tongue.
How could such a brave snowy beast be injured? The wounded saber-toothed tiger trembled and lost its majesty. How painful it is, how pitiful it is! In case, its claws are broken, it can't chase its prey, it can't walk, and it will starve to death in the future. No, I'm going to see how it hurts, and I'll get Aunt Ugg to heal it. Thinking like this, Aida actually forgot her fear, and forgot that lying in front of her was a seemingly gentle saber-toothed tiger that could kill her.
Perhaps because she had never seen the fierceness of the saber-toothed tiger hunting mammoths and bison, or perhaps because she was innocent and did not know what real fear was, Aida now felt that the beast in front of her was not so terrifying. Extreme compassion and compassion made her forget everything. However, the slightest sense of fear has not gone away. As a gesture of friendliness, to show that she had no intention of attacking, Aida did not stand up, and like a toddler, she moved her feet towards the saber-toothed tiger little by little.
The saber-toothed tiger had its eyes slightly closed, its mouth open, its tongue hanging out of its mouth, panting, exhausted and very weak. It watched as Aida drew closer to itself, but didn't have the strength to get back up and intimidate her.
Aida finally crouched in front of the saber-toothed tiger at zero distance. She smiled at it and nodded, hoping to convey friendliness with her smile.
The saber-toothed tiger was not disgusted. It just took back the paw it had just licked. Perhaps, it is also worried that Aida will suddenly attack itself, who is ready to meet it.
Aida saw that the two rows of small ** under the saber-toothed tiger's belly were very full, and thought that it had lost its son. She looked into the saber-toothed tiger's eyes, nodded and smiled, and reached for a small hand to its belly, rubbing it gently.
The saber-toothed tiger did not refuse Aida's small hand. I just moaned again.
Aida gently stroked the saber-toothed tiger's abdomen, and her heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. She laughed at the boys of the tribe in her heart, which of you has such ability? Scared to death!
With further understanding and mutual trust, Aida was already stroking the saber-toothed tiger's head with both hands at the same time. As she spoke to the saber-toothed tiger, she wiped the corners of its eyes, rubbed its ears, and massaged its forehead.
Sensing the comfort, the saber-toothed tiger simply closed his eyes and handed his injured paw to Aida.
Aida held the saber-toothed tiger's paws in both hands and examined them carefully. She found that in the crack of its claws, there was a wooden wedge about the thickness of a little thumb, and Aida pinched the exposed part with her fingernails, and tried to pull it gently, but it didn't come out, and the saber-toothed tiger's head rose in pain. Aida was startled and quickly let go of her hand. The saber-toothed tiger's head rested on the ground again, moaning and its injured paws trembling.
Aida was quickly relieved of her fear again. She knew that the saber-toothed tiger's actions just now were not to threaten her, but that it felt too much pain and was venting. Without further thought, she grabbed the saber-toothed tiger's injured claws, tightened the wedge with her fingernails, and pulled it out with all her might, revealing half of the wedge of the wood red with snow. The saber-toothed tiger was in severe pain, bared its teeth, cried out, and struggled to its feet, its injured paws hanging in the air, not daring to step on it. At the same time, thick, bloodshot fluid began to flow from under its buttocks.
Aida didn't understand why. She just thought that the saber-toothed tiger's injuries were too serious, and pulled out the wedge inside the claw, and the buttocks were bleeding. Perhaps, it was its ass that was also injured.
The saber-toothed tiger fell down again, screaming in pain, his head raised, and his belly bulging.
Aida now left everything behind, and without hesitation, she re-grasped the injured paw of the saber-toothed tiger with one hand, tightened the wooden wedge with the thumb and forefinger of the other hand, gritted her teeth, and with a "hi" cry, the wedge was all pulled out, and the wedge brought out several blood clots. Blood and pus also flowed out.
Seeing this, Aida immediately stood up, ran to the riverbank as fast as she could, pinched a few leaves of black grass, rubbed them vigorously in her palms, and returned to the saber-toothed tiger.
Aida squatted down, said "Good, bear with it a little longer, I'll stop the bleeding for you, and it won't hurt in the future", and used the black grass leaves that had been squeezed out of the water to wipe the saber-toothed tiger's wound to reduce inflammation.
The saber-toothed tiger struggled in pain again, its head lifted up, its belly bulged, and it screamed. This scream can be described as a heart-rending cry of pain when he is out of breath.
In the afterglow of Aida's eyes, who were so focused on reducing inflammation for the saber-toothed tiger, the saber-toothed tiger's butt was exposed as a small tiger's head, dripping and hairy. Although its eyes are closed, to Aida, it is very cute.
Aida was so excited that she wanted to reach out and touch it, but she stopped when she reached out to the little tiger, she was afraid that this would affect the birth of the tiger mother. After a little thought, she put her hand under the little tiger's head and gently supported it to help the tiger mother give birth to her son.
Aida was so excited that she almost jumped. She carefully placed the little tiger in front of the tiger's mother's mouth, so that the mother and son were intimate. The mother tiger struggled, licked her tongue a few times with her tongue and moaned again.
Aida put the little tiger's mouth in front of the tiger's mother ** and let it feed. Xiaohu "Didi" screamed and did not eat.
Aida carefully touched the tiger mother's still bloated belly, she clearly felt that there was a lump in the belly, and she suddenly understood that the tiger mother had not finished giving birth. So, the clever Aida put her little hand under the tiger's belly, held the piece up, and successfully helped the tiger mother give birth to her second child.
After the saber-toothed tiger was born, he immediately regarded Aida as an enemy. Between licking its two sons, it picked up the fur from its nose, bared its two long, sharp fangs, and roared at Aida, ordering her to leave.
Aida got up and reluctantly took a few steps back. Crooked his neck, spread his hands, and sent a message to the tiger mother, which means that you won't recognize me as soon as you finish helping you. Why are you so unreasonable? In fact, Aida can understand the feelings of the tiger mother - what mother does not love her children?
Aida looked at it for a moment, then turned and ran towards the tribe - she was going back to bring some food for Mother Tiger, who was so weak that she must be hungry.
