Chapter 20: The Fierce Leopard
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Festival, and the weather was good, and Steward Li was in a happy mood, so he rewarded the beast slaves with two meat buns each. When queuing up to get the buns, Aimo's nose was sour and tears fell. He remembered his mother's buns in his dream, and finally flew them all, and he didn't know what these two buns tasted like.
Aimo's grateful look immediately made all the beast slaves learn. Nearly a hundred slaves in the Ryan Spirit Beast Manor wanted to try their best to show their incomparable gratitude to Steward Li, so everyone cried and cried for a year. Steward Li never thought that two meat buns could buy the hearts of beast slaves, but he paid attention to Ai Mo, who was the first to cry, and felt that only he was truly grateful.
"Thirteen years old!" Back at the pig's nest, Aimo didn't eat the buns and became sentimental alone. He touched the black slave brand on his right hand, not knowing if the Night Clan emblem could appear again, and then remembered Gongyang Jia's warning, and immediately left the Night Clan behind, wanting to throw away the hideous fate as well. "There is no perfect chance, I will never take out the book this year, and I will continue to pretend to be stupid, and be careful that they dig holes and bury people. ”
"Soft eggs, what does the bun taste like?" Outside the pig rabbit nest, there was the sound of licking the feet of Xiao Tian.
"Brother Tian has a good New Year!" Ai Mo came out with two meat buns and warmly greeted Xiao Tian for the New Year, "This is a New Year's bun, how can I be qualified to eat it, I will keep it for Brother Tian." ”
"Who dares to touch your buns. "Xiao Tian can pretend to be a grandson himself, but he looks down on others acting and pretending to be forced the most, and he is full of cynicism towards Elmo. "Crying like a dead father and a dead mother, what are you pretending, who doesn't know who?"
"I'm so grateful!" This small pit, Ai Mo simply stepped over, "But Master Li is such a valuable reward, how can the juniors be qualified to eat it, or Brother Tian and Uncle Tie can taste it." ”
"Iron ...... Uncle?" Xiao Tian's mouth almost didn't turn, but fortunately, he had licked his feet for many years, and his mouth shape was well controlled, so he could smoke some words in time, "Of course Uncle Tie is qualified!"
"Uncle Tie, Happy New Year!" Aimo simply knelt down and gave the old slave a New Year's kowtow, so panicked that Xiao Tian also knelt down, "Uncle Tie lives a hundred years old, and his longevity is better than Nanshan!"
"Nonsense, that's a birthday. The old slave received the two head salutes in a big way, but he was disdainful of Amo's New Year's words, "To say Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!"
"Uncle Tie, try the meat buns!" Ai Mo hurriedly offered the meat buns, which had been roasted on the brazier just now, and they were still hot, "The red buns are meat buns, right?"
"I don't know, the red envelope is money!" The smell of the roasted meat bun was fragrant, and the old slave couldn't stand it, so he swallowed it after taking a few bites.
"What's the money?" said Elmo, who really didn't know, "is it delicious?"
"Hahaha!" Hearing the best joke of the new year, the old slave and Xiao Tian almost laughed together. Aimo hurriedly came up and beat his back, not knowing how to provoke them.
"Isn't it money when you sell yourself to pay off your debts?" the old slave pointed to his nose and scolded with a smile when he knew some of Aimo's origins.
Uncle Tie smiled. Aimo looked dumbfounded, and he remembered the golden flash in Steward Li's hand, which turned out to be money. But the gold coin has fallen into the hands of Gongyang Jia, and he didn't even see it.
The joke of not knowing the money soon spread throughout the manor and became the happiest topic for everyone, and the initiator became the object of every teasing. Whenever someone brought a copper plate, a silver coin, or something like that, and asked, "What is this?" Amor, who replied stupidly, "I don't know."
Later, the caretakers of the manor had a happy game, which was to put a copper plate and a silver coin on the ground and let Elmo pick it up. He took the copper plate every time, and never gave a disdain to the silver coins. He didn't mean to be stupid, he always felt that silver coins were equivalent to animal skins, and gold coins were equivalent to people. The copper plate is yellow, and it looks more like a gold coin, so it must be money.
There are also advantages to being so stupid, and Aimo can pick up a copper plate every time. Of course, all this money ended up in the pocket of the old iron head, and the old fox never lost a bean.
When the cold winter passed, and when the spring breeze blew on his face, Aimo grew taller again. The muscles on his body are strong, and he works like a calf. The hard-to-swallow slave meals in the Spirit Beast Garden, he always ate them cleanly, and never wasted a single thing. It was a lesson engraved in the depths of his soul, that he would never want to starve to death in the wasteland.
In the snow, Ai Mo had learned how to draw the words he could see, and described them exactly as they were written by Steward Li. But he hid it well, and no one knew it, and the words he drew disappeared as the snow melted.
"Is the zoo all right, Amor?" said the old slave again, creeping out of the night, like a true fox. After receiving the copper plate contributed by Aimo, the old iron head began to shout his name. After the beginning of spring, he also felt less, and often went out for a walk at night, and tonight was a full moon night, so he slipped into the backyard to have a look.
"Uncle Tie, you haven't slept for a long time. The spirit beasts in the backyard are very quiet, and they will be given a supper later, so as to ensure that they are safe until dawn. "Aimo has become proficient in using meat to plug the mouths of beasts, and he has experience in how to match when to feed, and he has been so safe for months.
"You don't know. Cauliflower yellow, beast crazy!" The old slave rarely taught a hand, he looked up at the bright full moon, and his mood seemed to be a little depressed, "The spring season is no better than other times." ”
"Uncle Tie is well-informed, and one sentence can make people learn for a lifetime!" Ai Mo looked deeply instructed, he had been acting for a long time, and he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, "As long as the uncle is here, I won't be afraid of the sky falling!"
"It's going to be a sycophant!" The old slave smiled at the corner of his eyes, although Aimo was blunt, but the good words were still ** listen, "People are old, they just talk a lot." You ......"
"Roar!" the two of them chatted leisurely, and suddenly heard a wild beast roar in the distance. The roar was so loud that it spread almost throughout the manor.
At this moment, it was like water in an oil pot, and the eight animal parks immediately became noisy. Even the skinny bears who woke up from hibernation in the backyard joined the fighting team. Aimo hurriedly grabbed the fat pig and rabbit and threw it into the cages all over the backyard. But the tried and tested methods of meat bribery in the past have failed today.
"Dangdang!" When the two of them were anxious, the guards were even more anxious in the distance, and there were anxious shouts, "The spirit beast is out of the cage! The wild leopard has escaped!" After a while, there was another scream, and the wild leopard out of the cage hurt people.
"Oh my mother!" the old slave was well-informed, and knew best the dangers of escaping beasts. A few years ago, a bear escaped and tossed the entire Ryan Manor, killing and injuring countless beast slaves in the Spirit Beast Garden. He was frightened back then, lying on the pile of corpses and pretending to be dead to escape from the bear's claws, but now he is fleeing with a more powerful wild leopard, and now he feels that there is no way to live. As the sound of the gong approached, the old slave was directly paralyzed on the ground in fright.
"Uncle Tie, you should get up!" Aimo is not respecting the old ** young and wants to save this old fox. The old slave was lying down, and he was still hugging his thighs, and his hands were tightly cuffed, making it difficult for others to move an inch, "The wild leopard is here with me, don't worry!"
Aimo was not very afraid, he didn't see the power of the cage leopard, and he thought that the Ryan Spirit Beast Manor was so big, maybe the cheetah wouldn't run around and flee directly to the mountains and forests. But he didn't know that these spirit beasts in captivity in cages hated two-legged people very much, and they often chased people to bite after they ran out of the cage, instead of dying in the mountains and forests.
After the last time the Spirit Animal Park ran a bear, the Spirit Animal Park changed Steward Li. As soon as he came, he took some precautions, reduced two animal gardens, and put eight gardens out of each one, separated by a thick wall in the middle. But this time it was the wild leopard that escaped, this spirit beast ran and jumped extremely fast, and the thick wall did not work at all, but only hindered the pursuit of the guards.
After picking up the old slave who was scared to pee his pants, Aimo reluctantly came out of the backyard. He picked up a pitchfork and faced the gate, and the old slave had already burrowed into the haystack, trembling with terror.
These hayes are winter forage for pigs and rabbits, and some of them are piled up in various homes. Aimo had sunburned a lot last year, and after feeding it all winter, there was still a pile of hay left, just enough for the old iron head to hide. The haystacks are made of wooden poles and steel forks, which are very useful against lynx, weasels, and the like. This pitchfork is very easy to use, but now that it is the first time to face a big beast, I don't have enough confidence in my heart.
The wild leopard that made trouble in the Spirit Animal Park escaped from the B Garden. There was a dead slave who opened the cage door in violation of regulations, and the spirit beast took the opportunity to break free from the chain, bite him to death and jumped out.
This furious leopard, full of hatred for humans, forcibly pulled the iron chain of his hip bone. One hind leg was almost bone, and the flesh was bald. But the more this happened, the more crazy the beast became, killing people in the manor, biting people when they saw them, and entering the garden when they saw them.
When the warning gong sounded, it almost circled the spirit animal garden. Then, accompanied by the barking of wild lions and the roar of wild beasts all over the manor, they poured all the way to Elmo's Gengyuan.
In the middle of the night, wild leopards plague almost the entire estate. In the end, it was almost bloody, but its ferocious momentum was undiminished, and it still killed Gengyuan.
Elmo leaned his back against the haystack, his eyes fixed on the garden gate, and his heart pounded. "The safety behind is conducive to defense", this defensive experience is what Gongyang Jia said, it depends on the actual battle tonight.
Suddenly, the three-legged wild leopard rushed in, as fast as a wisp of smoke in the moonlight. But Ammo saw it all at once, and the blood-red eyes. At night, the eyes of the beasts are all green, but tonight the wild leopards are spewing fire with two eyes, killing red eyes.
Elmo swung his fork and wanted to increase the defensive distance. But he didn't expect that he stood too close to the haystack, and not only did the steel fork not go out, but it stood straight up.
The red-eyed cheetah, when he saw that Elmo's chest was open, pounced on it. Elmo closed his eyes in fright, and Gollum fell to the ground, and the wild leopard that pounced on him grabbed his head into the haystack.
"Get up and fight!" the guards of the Spirit Animal Zoo chased after them. They were happy with the cheetah's current predicament, and directed Aimmore to go up and fight hard. But Aimo has no heart and no courage, his legs are still weak, and he can't stand up, so how can he talk about catching wild leopards.
"Ah......" exclaimed the old slave in the haystack, and fought the wild leopard with his teeth and claws.
The leopard was stuck in the haystack and was busy withdrawing. The old slave's chaos was like a trap that startled the three-legged leopard at once.
It shook its head violently, shook off the dead grass that was unsightly, and pulled its two front legs out, pulling out the old iron head that was shaking in a ball. At this time, the old slave forgot about the last time he pretended to be dead and deceived the bear, and his whole body was in one place, and his hands and feet were desperately pulling in front of him, blocking the cheetah's mouth.
Spirit animals such as wild leopards mostly hunt food with speed, and it is not their specialty to stop and fight. They rarely win by strength, and they are always fatal in their throats. The old slave pulled on all fours, and really protected his throat, and fought with the cheetah.
The soft-footed crab-like Aimo looked at a thick leopard tail in horror, dangling in front of his eyes, and the white bones and leopard legs were also terrifyingly kicking around. His hands and feet were cold, and he was so frightened that he had to close his eyes again.
"Whew!" the lion finally caught up and pounced like a fierce lion. The vicious dog was stout, but it didn't run fast, and the leopard was thrown very far. This time, the three-legged leopard first sank into the haystack, and then let the old slave entangle before giving it time to catch up.
"Roar!" the leopard gave up scratching at the old slave and turned to face the lion. The beasts fought with each other, their teeth and claws together, and the bite was very fierce.
The fierce leopard is wild, the wild lion is stout, and the two sides are evenly matched. Finally letting go of the two men on the ground, Ammo got up and crawled out, and the old slave picked him up, and he couldn't breathe. didn't dare to entangle more, Aimo fought fiercely, threw the old man to his back, and carried him out of the battle circle.
The beasts fought, and the situation was miserable, and it only took a few rounds to distinguish the superior. The badly injured cheetah quickly fell behind, and it was really not a strong lion opponent, and turned to dodge and flee.
At this time, Steward Li led a large group of beast slaves from the Spirit Beast Garden to guard them, sounded the earth-shattering gong, and surrounded them with lantern torches, blocking the way for the wild leopards to escape from Gengyuan. As soon as the leopard saw that the road was impassable, the lion was still in hot pursuit, and it bared its fangs at the crowd for a moment, and then fled in the stabbing diagonally.
Fortunately, where it went, it was exactly where the old slave climbed on Ammo. After the fierce leopard scurried over, he didn't care about lowering his head and taking a bite, so he padded two bodies on his forelimbs and jumped directly on the top of the haystack.
Ammo felt the old slave's body go limp, and he fainted with complete fright. He himself was so frightened that he got dizzy and crawled down, and went to the haystack again
