Chapter 420: Mother's Love

"What are you kidding, animals shed tears...... I guess it's eye droppings," Liu Junhao quipped with a smile. He'd heard of the tears before, but he always felt a little mysterious. Just like the "crocodile tears", people used to think that it had a compassionate heart and could not bear to eat its prey, but in the end it turned out to be the tear gland secretion of animals.

"Take a closer look," Seeing that her husband's nerves were so big, Zhang Qian twisted him angrily.

"Okay, good ......" Liu Junhao dodged his daughter-in-law's hand, turned his head to look over, and immediately stood there stunned.

It's tears...... The eyes of this grass leopard are very complex, almost indistinguishable from humans. Didn't you raise it in a stone lock for a period of time, your IQ improved, and your feelings became complicated?

"Ah...... Husband, quickly untie the rope on his leg, you hurry up...... Look at the bottom of its body," Zhang Qian suddenly exclaimed again.

I saw that on the clouded leopard's dirty and blood-stained belly, a few slightly swollen ** were impressive, and this clouded leopard should have a group of baby leopard cubs, and those little ones have not been weaned.

No wonder I just felt that I could understand its eyes, this is the tacit understanding of the same mother. At this point, there is no difference between animal and human motherhood.

It must have been in a hurry to go back and nurse a few little ones who were waiting to be fed, so it struggled to leave, but it became crazy in the eyes of the two

Last night, the lights were blind, and Liu Junhao was a little angry, so he didn't take a closer look. Feelings this grass leopard is lactating, no wonder it is so fierce.

He remembered reading a saying before that even the most timid animals can become brave when they protect their children. Just like the hen in the yard, she usually flashes far away when she sees the macular skin, but when she hugs the nest, she dares to chase the dog all over the yard and peck at it.

Zhang Qian didn't want to delay any longer, and didn't care that the clouded leopard might hurt people, so she directly cut the rope with a knife. Almost instantly, the clouded leopard had risen from the ground and staggered out of the courtyard.

"Xiaopi" Liu Junhao was taken aback, followed by a loud shout, and pointed over.

At the master's command, the yellow-spotted skin swooped down again and pinned the grass leopard under him. Eat a trench and grow wise, Xiaopi's teeth just pressed against the opponent's neck this time, so that it had no way to fight back.

"Husband, what are you going to do, let it go?" Zhang Qian shouted anxiously.

"Don't panic, don't panic, wait until I bring the iron cage." Liu Junhao didn't explain to his wife, turned around and took out the iron cage in the stairwell, and then stuffed the clouded leopard into it.

The cage is nearly half a meter high, but it is too small for the clouded leopard. The guy was even more irritable when he was put into the cage, baring his teeth and roaring at them, and his head couldn't stop hitting the steel bar, and the iron cage staggered.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Seeing her husband catch the clouded leopard again, Zhang Qian's face was quite ugly.

"I'm here to save it...... Look here," Liu Junhao pointed to the side of the clouded leopard, "it must have been injured in a fight with some animal in the mountains, and maybe it even hurt its ribs." Do you think you can survive now when you put it back in the mountains? It's better to wait for its injuries to heal. ”

"What about those leopard cubs, they are still feeding, if they are not protected by the mother clouded leopard, they will definitely starve to death or be eaten by other animals." Zhang Qian felt that what her husband said was very reasonable, and then began to worry again.

"This question is simple, can't we just bring them to our family to raise...... "Save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since you have decided to save this clouded leopard, naturally you have to bring those little guys back."

While speaking, Professor Zhao walked into the courtyard, and he was also surprised to see this clouded leopard, and even said that he would immediately go into the mountain to find a few leopard cubs. Now that the mother clouded leopard has been away from the child for seven or eight hours, it is easy to have accidents.

So Liu Junhao didn't eat anything, and set off directly with Xiaopi.

In late autumn, Daqing Mountain is a little more cold, and the north wind blows through the bare branches, making a whining sound from time to time. The roadsides, the fields, and the mountains and forests in the distance were covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost.

The sun had not yet come out, and everywhere was foggy, and the surroundings seemed to still sleep in silence except for the whimpering of the wind and the chirping of birds.

The clouded leopard came down the mountain with a trail of blood, and the smell was very strong, so the little skin was very easy to trace. They traveled quite fast, burrowing deep into the mountains and forests in less than half an hour.

This grass leopard usually operates on the outskirts of Daqing Mountain, and Liu Junhao originally thought that its nest must be nearby, but he didn't know that the trail extended straight into the mountains.

Xiaopi searched for nearly two hours, but still did not find the clouded leopard's nest. However, seeing the blood stains flashing in the grass from time to time, Liu Junhao knew that there was nothing wrong with this route.

In fact, he was very curious about what kind of animal hurt the clouded leopard, and he must know that there are no large beasts in Daqingshan. Several clouded leopards are already at the top of the food chain, and there should be no other animal besides humans to be their opponents.

Just thinking about it, suddenly Xiaopi's body bowed, and his limbs bent slightly. This posture Liu Junhao is very familiar with, and he knows that he is approaching the target.

He sniffed sharply a few times, and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood in the mountain forest. Something was wrong, Liu Junhao hurriedly pulled out the knife in his waist and put it across his chest.

After waiting for two minutes and seeing that there was no movement, he became bold and took two steps into the bushes with his knife.

I saw a wild boar lying next to a dead tree not far away, which should weigh hundreds of pounds. I didn't expect wild boars to be here...... There was a large pool of dried blood under his head. Look, it's estimated that the time to die is not short.

Only then did Liu Junhao relax and lead Xiaopi forward to check. The boar's body was already stiff, with several sharp deep holes in its neck, which should have been left by the canine teeth of the grass leopard.

I remember reading on the Internet when I checked the information, clouded leopards mainly feed on small mammals such as mice, hares, and fawns, and sometimes steal chickens, ducks and other poultry, but they do not dare to harm wild boars, cows, horses and other large animals.

The female clouded leopard didn't know if it was crazy or what, but she wanted to hunt wild boars. Although he won in the end, the price was very painful, and he almost lost half his life.

"Wangwang......" At this time, Xiaopi began to roar, obviously discovering something again.

Liu Junhao walked over quickly, his eyes widening.

He finally found the reason for the battle between the clouded leopard and the wild boar, and felt that under the dead tree was the habitat of the clouded leopard when it gave birth.

The huge roots of the tree twist and turn to form a large hole on the tabletop, and the roots of the tree are covered with sparse artemisia grass, which can be used as a cave.

It should have been the wild boar that found the leopard cub and wanted to eat it when it was foraging, but it was detected by the female clouded leopard, which caused a fight.

A few of the little ones in the hollow hadn't eaten for hours, probably starving. When they heard the movement outside, they immediately made a fuss, and they made a crisp snort at the top of their throats.

Liu Junhao didn't stay here for long, hurriedly put away a few little leopard cubs in a basket, then threw the stiff wild boar into the stone lock, and led the yellow-spotted skin to walk quickly down the mountain.

When they returned, they traveled in a straight line, and it only took them an hour to get out of the mountains.

Liu Junhao saw that there was no one around, so he got into the stone lock to resist the wild boar out, and swaggered towards home.

Several tourists came to his house to buy yellow eels after breakfast, and they were a little surprised to see the clouded leopard. When they returned to the village, most of the tourists knew about it.

After a while, half of the courtyard was surrounded by people.

When Liu Junhao brought back a few leopard cubs, there was another sensation in the crowd. No one paid attention to the dead boar...... They only thought that Liu Junhao had hunted it up the mountain.

Smelling the scent of the cubs, the mother clouded leopard became even more emotional, and bit the steel bar with her mouth open, making a clicking sound.

It wasn't until this moment that those tourists found out that this guy was not to be messed with.

Liu Junhao made some reed leaves and made a nest in the stairwell, and then put a few small leopard cubs into it. As soon as the iron cage was opened, the female clouded leopard couldn't wait to rush in.

Tourists are amazed and want to get closer to see it clearly. But before they could get closer, the female clouded leopard suddenly sprang up and stood guard at the door of the stairwell. Look at it, if anyone dares to go forward again, it will definitely rush up and bite.

Afraid that this guy would be angry, Liu Junhao had to let the tourists leave temporarily, saying that it was not too late to come and watch it when they were ready.

After settling the grass leopard family, he remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he went into the kitchen and picked up something indiscriminately.

After eating, Liu Junhao chopped a large piece of wild boar meat and threw it into the stairwell. The clouded leopard hasn't eaten since last night, and it's probably starving.

For the whole day, the clouded leopard was firmly guarded at the top of the stairs, not giving anything a chance to get close.

Zhang Qian originally wanted to apply some medicine to its wounds, but she could only give up when she saw the situation.

I thought that the stairwell space was closed, and the clouded leopard would feel safe staying inside, but who knew that when Zhang Qian got up the next morning, she found that it was empty.

She immediately shouted urgently, "Husband, the clouded leopards are all gone, and even those little leopard cubs are gone."

No way...... Liu Junhao ran out of the kitchen in a panic, and even forgot to put down the kitchen knife in his hand. The reed leaves piled up in the stairwell were still there, but the clouded leopard and a few little ones were nowhere to be seen......

Didn't you sneak away along the waterway? Liu Junhao subconsciously ran to the courtyard wall. A few of the little ones are only slightly larger than the kittens, and they can escape from here. As for the female clouded leopard, she has super tree-climbing skills, and this courtyard wall can't trap it. "I really ran out, Xiaopi didn't be alarmed last night" Liu Junhao looked around and found no trace. "Will they be able to survive when they go back to the mountains?" Zhang Qian frowned slightly and asked worriedly.

A few of the little ones don't hunt independently, and the injuries on the female clouded leopard are not yet healed. In harsh natural conditions, the chances of them surviving are slim.

"It should be fine," Liu Junhao was about to call Xiaopi to look for the traces of the clouded leopard. Who knew that the two macular skins ran out of the yard early in the morning. I don't know where it is at this time, and I can't call it at all.

There's another chapter to come
