Chapter 6: Mother's Love
The lion returns.
The crisis is over.
Cieress crawled on the ground tiredly, panting heavily, scarlet blood blurring her vision.
The wounds all over the body began to feel a sharp pain.
She shuddered, raised her head, and looked deeply at her daughter on the branch with her blood-stained one-eye.
It's like saying goodbye.
She knew that her life had come to an end.
Hyenas often eat carrion, and their teeth and saliva are filled with terrible bacteria and viruses.
If it's just one or two wounds, maybe it can heal slowly.
But.
Today, she is covered in wounds all over her body, some of which are deep enough to see her bones.
I have just exhausted all my strength and spirit, and my physique is close to collapse, and there is no possibility of repair.
If you want to repair such a wound, you need food, you need to disinfect, and you need a physique.
But she didn't have any of that.
She could only wait for death slowly.
She looked up at her minor daughter, and the poor one-eyed eye was full of sadness and worry.
Meimei, who seemed to feel her emotions on the branches, trembled, climbed down the tree, and curled up beside her obediently.
They snuggled up and enjoyed what might have been the last day.
Usually the lioness knows that she is going to die, so she will quietly leave the lion pack, leave her children, find a secluded place alone, and wait for death alone and with dignity.
Clearly, Ciel already had such a plan.
The male lion drove away the hyena and quickly returned, glancing indifferently at her scarred and then looking up again at the lion cub in the tree, obviously a little surprised.
However, he did not show any fatherly or husbandly affection, and after only a few seconds of pause, he turned around and lay down on the dirt bag, waiting for food.
When the four lionesses returned with their prey in tow, they immediately smelled a strong smell of blood.
They hurriedly laid down their prey and hurried over.
After seeing that their children were safe and sound, they let go of their nervous heartstrings, just walked over, rubbed Xi'er with their heads, and took their children and walked to the food together.
The male lion was already lying in front of the food, feasting.
The lioness and the nurse, who could only drool, stood by and waited for him to finish eating.
No one looked at the wounded and dying Ci'er again.
Meimei lay on her mother's side, screaming a few times in her mouth, immature and weak, obviously very sad.
Chu Xiaoye was lying on the branches of the big tree, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart was full of sighs, but he also knew that this was the survival rule of the lions.
Mercy, gratitude, non-existent.
Only living by oneself is the most important thing.
Sometimes, in order to live, even one's own children can be eaten.
His mother, Aisha, was lying on the ground, her mouth calling to him.
And the little curly tail was lying next to his mother, eating milk with relish.
Chu Xiaoye glanced at Xi'er's mother and daughter, turned around, and retreated cautiously from the big tree.
He ran to his mother's side and ate the sweet milk.
He had just exerted a lot of physical strength, and now he was very tired and hungry.
He can already eat meat.
If his father had leftovers, he wouldn't mind taking a few bites.
Male lions eat slowly and are very picky.
Eat the creamy internal organs of the prey first, and then eat the most delicate and fatty meat of the prey.
And the lioness, who risked her life to hunt hard and needed to nurse her children, could only salivate and wait patiently on the side.
Finally.
The male lion was fed and got up to leave.
The four lionesses rushed up in a hurry.
Only by snatching the most meat can you feed your own children.
Four lionesses, gobbling it up!
The seven little lions, who also followed their mother, trotted over, rubbing a few pieces of meat to eat, getting used to the bloody smell of food.
No one cared about the one lying on the ground, bloody and scarred, who had saved their child, Xi'er, and her daughter.
The mother and daughter leaned together, staring blankly.
There is no resentment, no anger, there seems to be only helplessness and sorrow.
Chu Xiaoye squeezed away the little curly tail with all his might, and even pointed his ass at him, threatening with a fart, and finally grabbed a large piece of thigh meat.
Little Curly Tail was very aggrieved, so he had to squeeze to his mother's side and eat some minced meat.
Chu Xiaoye took advantage of the fact that they were gobbling it up, dragged the piece of thigh meat with great difficulty, returned to the small tree, and put the meat in front of Xi'er.
Then, he ran to his prey again and continued to grab meat.
Xi'er was obviously stunned, staring at his weak figure for a while, Fang couldn't stand the smell of food, and immediately ate it.
Meimei saw that her mother had meat to eat, so she also obediently lay under her and started to breastfeed.
Chu Xiaoye slapped the small curly tail, grabbed a piece of meat again, and ran back.
The little curly tail screamed, but there was nothing to be done.
Chu Xiaoye dragged five pieces of meat to Xi'er in a row, one smaller than the other.
Because the meat of the prey was not much, the best part was eaten by the male lion, and many were devoured by the four lionesses, and there was really no more.
He was also hungry.
He saw that only the fur and bones of the prey had been eaten, so he had to lick the traces of flesh and blood left between the bones, and familiarize himself with the smell of blood.
Then he came to his mother's side again and fed his hunger with milk.
Aisha lay on the ground, and although she was not full, she still served him and Curly Tail very tenderly.
"Whew!"
Little Curly Tail was angry when he saw him, and when he saw that he was eating vigorously, he couldn't help but stretch out his little paw and sneak attack him on the head.
Chu Xiaoye didn't have time to pay attention to him, and while eating, he pouted his butt at him, cocked his tail, and made a fart pose!
Little Curly Tail was suddenly startled, turned around and ran, didn't even eat milk, and fled.
"Boy, in front of my brother, you will always be my brother!"
Chu Xiaoye snorted coldly in his heart.
After you have eaten your fill.
He went into the bushes and walked in front of Ci'er, and without saying a word, he went straight to her side, stuck out his tongue, and licked the wounds on her body.
Ciel froze for a moment, twisted her head, and looked at him in a daze.
She had planned to wait until it was dark, then leave the lions and go to a secluded place to die.
Because of the wounds on the body, it has attracted flies and began to become inflamed.
She knew she was dying.
So, she is saying a silent goodbye to her daughter, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her.
But, this kid ......
What was he doing here?
Forget it, for the sake of him just grabbing food for himself, he likes to lick, so let him lick it.
She's dying anyway.
She looked at her daughter sadly, not knowing how to say goodbye to her, let alone imagining whether she would be able to live after she left.
Meimei watched blankly as Chu Xiaoye meticulously licked the wounds on her mother's body, looking like she wanted to stop it, but she didn't dare to stop it.
Little Curly Tail came closer, a stunned expression on his face.
Brother, what's wrong? Didn't you just haven't eaten enough and want to treat Aunt Xi'er as food?
My brother is really scary!
Seeing this scene, the little curly tail trembled, and his awe of his brother was one more point!
Lioness resting.
The male lion goes around in all directions.
Under a small tree.
Chu Xiaoye licked the wounds on Xi'er's body, licking them very seriously, and almost every wound was smeared with his saliva.
Whether it had any effect or not, he couldn't be sure either.
However, this is the only way.
He couldn't bear to watch his beloved and touched mother die lonely and desolate.
Although he is now a lion.
However, his soul is still the soul of a man.
He honored and loved all mothers in the world.
It doesn't matter if it's a human or an animal.
