Chapter 5 The Animal World

It's a world of animals, a sick lion, a toothless tiger, a ferocious hyena, and then barking at a wounded sloth......

In the animal world, a sick lion marries a ferocious tiger, not because of love.

Because nature is natural selection, the law of survival of the fittest. The conditions in which the lions live have become harsh, they need too much rations, and they are forced to try something new or give up the sickliest cub in the pack.

There are seven lion cubs in the lion pack, and each lion cub has reached the age of learning skills, but there is only one young and sick lion, sometimes dull-eyed, sick; Sometimes foaming at the mouth and spasms all over the body; Sometimes well-behaved and cute, but he can't learn the skills of hunting.

In a flash, the little lions learned their skills, and left the lion pack one after another to live independently, but the little lion has not left.

It's just that when he reaches the age of leaving home, the lion cub follows the fierce tiger. Probably discarded by the lions, otherwise how could they meet a creature like a tiger, maybe the fierce tiger also has a compassionate side, picked up this lion, and will live a good life together.

The tree rings that record the passing years are growing round and round, and the tiger's home is becoming more and more difficult.

Tiger is the fourth in the family, the year the lion married him, his father was run over by a cart pulling oxen, his mother was blind in her early years, she worked hard for many years, and her legs were swollen and painful in their joints. Tiger has three sisters, all married, and a younger brother who has not yet started a family. The family is in dire need of a hostess who will take care of the housework.

Picking up a sick lion and going home is probably also to facilitate household chores and take care of the blind mother. The lion, who has been sick and weak for a long time, has cultivated a stubborn, forbearing, generous and diligent temperament, and after following the tiger, he is diligent in keeping the house and doing his best to take care of his blind mother-in-law.

There is an old Chinese saying that there is no filial son in front of the bed of a long illness. What's more, it takes more than ten or even twenty years, like taking care of a child, taking care of a paralyzed old mother with a handful of and urine. The death of relatives and the departure of children from the nest have made the old mother's mind more and more confused and her temper more and more irritable.

There can be a cure for the sick, but it is not so easy to cure when the poor are branded on the body. The children did not give much comfort to the blind old mother, who was sometimes violent and sometimes burst into tears; Sometimes perverse paranoia, sometimes nervous.

Such an old man, we can't blindly blame the tiger for not taking good care of it, after all, in that absurd years, the biggest problem was to solve the problem of food and clothing, without food and clothing, how to talk about care? When the lion entered the door, the burden fell on her, and she was obligated to bear it.

His father was run over by an ox cart, leaving behind a blind mother and a younger brother who had not yet started a family. The twenty-three-year-old tiger took up the house, and soon he threw his brother out and left him alone. This made the old mother heartbroken, and every time she mentioned it, she would throw things into the basin, and the lion was not spared.

Later, the youngest son came to the widow's house at the head of the village, and he also had a home. The old mother's concern for her youngest son has been dyed with heavy colors in the long river of years and in the black hole-like eyes. If you can't stand and walk, you can't see, so you can climb on your knees and hands and crawl to your youngest son's house, carrying a few grain sticks in your arms.

Wrapping grain sticks? It's hard to imagine that absurd era, absurd home, corn cob became evidence of an old mother's concern for her younger son. Grumpy is something that flows in the blood of the Tiger family, and hunger is more like an additive, which is often more likely to catalyze the generation of a family tragedy.

Violence, if it can get rid of the absurd times, if it can get rid of the sea of physical suffering, if it can alleviate the hunger of the nerves, then there will be no such thing as moral law. But how can a creature like a tiger understand these things?

The lion can only endure, and all the animals can only endure, if there is still a need to fill their bellies.

Why didn't the lion run away? If the lion could escape, she must have escaped a thousand times.

They live deep in the mountains, in the season of material scarcity, and it seems that all animals are the same. If you don't have food, you can still live without stealing or robbing.

The lion gave birth to three cubs, which added to the family's plight, but with the cubs, there was hope for life, and the lion did his best to take care of the three cubs and maintain the family. Until the old mother died, the cubs were all grown up and had the strength to protect the lion, and the lion ushered in the sunny spring, and the hard days finally came to an end.

The cubs are growing stronger and stronger under the careful care of the stubborn, forbearing, generous and diligent lion, and like the lion, tenacious, forbearing, generous and diligent. The fierce tiger has lost its place in the hearts of its cubs because of its bad temper and rough behavior. When he could no longer intimidate the cubs, his teeth fell out, and he fell silent, not daring to say a word.

The people in the village couldn't help but ask, is the cub born to a lion and a tiger or a tiger lion? But who can say for sure? But it seems to me that their temperament is more like that of hyenas, inheriting the sickness and weakness of lions, inheriting the ferocity of tigers, advocating matriarchal societies and preferring the strength of herds in order to ensure superiority.

Although the tiger is powerful, but it has no teeth, eating has become a problem, how dare you play tricks? Although the lion is tenacious, it has long been old and decrepit, and the mental and physical torture of the early years has made it even more sickly and weak. Although hyenas try hard, they often fail in vain, and occasionally go crazy and have green eyes, which makes people frightened.

Everyone's family is not an animal world. In my animal world, what kind of animal is Mr. Liu, and what kind of animal am I?

In my opinion, Mr. Liu is like a hyena, advocating the maternal line and preferring to move in groups. He will spend a lot of time at night with friends from all over the world, eating, drinking, playing and making trouble, and never get tired of it. If he was bored at home for an afternoon, he would often chat with his friends on video and phone calls, even though it seemed to me that it was all cows flying in the sky, and he still enjoyed it. He often wants me to be part of the world through his eyes, but what about me? But it was more like a wounded sloth, hanging lonely from a tree branch.

I'm more of a sloth, because I like to be quiet. I like to enjoy the sun slowly and enjoy the life moistened by the rain. You can eat leaves when you're hungry, and you can drink rain when you're thirsty, a minimalist life. Then you can live in your own spiritual world, and you don't bother to think about anything else.

If life is a drama, then I would rather be a prop, which needs but will not be abrupt, and it is suitable as a background at any time.
