Chapter 12: Hunger
The night is getting darker.
On the horizon in the distance, four lionesses finally appeared!
Chu Xiaoye stood on the canopy of the tree, and couldn't help but let out a childish roar in his mouth, and his heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although, the four lionessses, it seems, did not bring back prey.
The male lion stood up from the grass, tilted his head, and looked majestically into the distance.
The tail that had been wagging around anxiously suddenly stopped.
He saw it.
The lioness returned empty-handed.
It also indicates that tonight, he still has nothing to eat.
The male lion let out a hoarse growl from his mouth, bared his teeth, and looked angry.
Not much.
The four lionesses returned dejected.
Every lioness has scratches and blood marks on her body.
There was a lioness whose tail was broken, and she hung her head and looked unusually desolate.
They searched for a long time, and finally found their prey at the edge of the territory.
However, while chasing his prey, he accidentally crossed the border and entered the territory of another lion pack.
The prey that was finally caught was snatched away, and the opposing lions, led by the male lions, angrily besieged and bit them.
They didn't want to give up their prey, but they had to flee.
Otherwise, even life will be lost.
If their male lion is there, perhaps, the prey can be brought back.
Looking at the hungry children, looking at the male lions roaring angrily, the four lionesses, shrugging their heads, guilty and sad.
The lioness who had her tail bitten off lowered her head and wanted to step forward and rub the lion's body to apologize.
However, he was slapped on the face by a male lion's paw, cold and ruthless.
The four lionesses were bruised, tired and hungry, but had to go to the cubs and lie down and feed the cubs.
The lion gave them an indifferent look, turned away, and soon disappeared into the night.
Since the lionesses are useless, he can only take advantage of the night to find something to eat by himself.
Chu Xiaoye stood on the big tree, looking at his indifferent and departing back, his eyes were cold.
Male lions hunt during the day due to their lush manes, and are easily spotted by their prey, and before they can approach, the prey may have already noticed and fled.
Therefore, among the lion packs, it is generally hunted by lionesses.
And when food is scarce, lions take risks to kill giraffes, buffaloes, and other large dangerous animals.
At this time, the male lion will help.
When the prey is surrounded by the lioness, the male lion will suddenly pounce, bite the neck of these large animals, use their heavy body, and drag the prey to the ground, and then the lioness can pounce on it and kill it together.
And Chu Xiaoye, the lion group, has never seen a male lion hunting with a lioness since he can remember.
Even if you haven't eaten for a few days.
Although he has just become a lion cub, the previous events are still imprinted in the memory of this body.
In memory, this majestic father is more cold and selfish than any father.
And, of course, laziness.
"Whew!"
Aisha called out to him from under the tree.
Chu Xiaoye looked down and saw that the little curly tail was already lying next to her mother and breastfeeding.
This kid had only eaten at Xi'er's place, and now he was eating again, and it seemed that it was an afternoon workout, and he was really tired.
Although he was very sympathetic to his mother's hunger and exhaustion, Chu Xiaoye still climbed down from the tree and went over to eat.
Only when you are full can you grow your body, grow up as soon as possible, and become strong as soon as possible!
Only when you are strong can you protect your mother and help her share the hard work and responsibility.
As for the indifferent father, he couldn't count on it.
I just hope that he can defend his territory well, defeat the invaders, and do a little bit of his duty as a father and husband.
The night is blurry.
After eating, the lion cubs leaned on the lioness and fell asleep sweetly.
The five lionesses, on the other hand, had sad faces and did not feel sleepy.
Nearby water sources are starting to dry up, and herbivores are already migrating.
The prey on this grassland seems to have been wiped out overnight, and it is difficult to find it again.
If they want to continue hunting and raising their young, they can only migrate with their prey and settle on the edge of their territory.
But.
It's dangerous there.
There are not only other lions there, but many other carnivores, and if the lion cubs live there, they are afraid that they will be threatened every day.
However, if you don't migrate, you can only go hungry day by day.
Even if there is occasional prey to catch, they who need to nurse their children, as well as the strong male lions, cannot have enough to eat.
They can't eat enough, they don't have the strength to hunt, they don't have the milk to feed their children.
And the male lion can't eat his stomach, if he encounters the invasion of the wandering male lions, or the sneak attack of those hateful hyenas, he is afraid that he will be defeated and flee, or he will be defeated and die.
When the time comes, none of their children will want to live.
So.
At this moment, the five lionesses looked at each other in the dark night, silent, but they were all thinking about the migration of those herbivores.
However, they are worried about the children.
The complex thoughts of the five mothers, although they did not tell them at this moment, were revealed in their eyes.
The night is silent.
Chu Xiaoye was still sleeping on the big tree.
The python last night really scared him a lot.
However, in the face of the python, he may be able to live, but if he faces a lion or other carnivores, he will definitely not be able to compete now.
During the day he angered the lion.
Although it was his father, he wasn't sure that the other party wouldn't suddenly rush over and bite him while he was asleep.
The male lion is irascible and ruthless.
Whether it was on TV or in his memory, he remembered it deeply.
What's more, his father is hungry now.
So, he only dared to sleep on the tree.
The lioness can't sleep, and he can't sleep.
Although there is a strange and powerful bead in his body, which is emitting strange heat, it makes him reborn and gradually become stronger.
However, he is still a lion cub now, and he is not really strong.
If you encounter danger, you still can't protect yourself.
And now the situation of the lions is already very dangerous.
Without food, it is definitely going to migrate.
Whether on the road or in a new home, there will be unknown dangers for them as the cubs.
If you are not careful, it will become food in the mouths of other carnivores.
He was lucky not to die, he turned into a lion, and he wanted to grow into a majestic lion, showing off his might on the grassland, rampage, and dominating the world!
How can you die so quickly before your dream comes true?
"Whew!"
Just as he was lying on the tree and thinking wildly, a childish cry suddenly came from his ears.
Meimei climbed the tree and lay next to him.
The milky fragrance on this little lioness and her gentle and well-behaved little appearance made him feel a little depressed, and he instantly improved a lot.
Whatever.
No matter how difficult it will be tomorrow, try to live every day as well as possible.
Chu Xiaoye raised her paws and rubbed her head, a mocklike smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
The night is quiet and the moonlight is gentle.
The brother and sister lay quietly on the tree, and before they knew it, they fell asleep.
