23. Yellow-throated finch catcher
"Chirp-"
A small chirp was mixed in the wind and rain, and was caught by Lin Qian's keen hearing.
Suddenly, the little tiger raised his head energetically, and the tiger's eyes searched straight between the canopies.
At the same time, a small head poked out of the high, rain-soaked tree hole at the same time.
The yellow-throated marten stared at a pair of small dark eyes, trying to find an opportunity for the wind and rain to fall.
The crisp and short chirp just now was a familiar one, a sparrow's tone.
Above the pine tree, there was indeed a sparrow standing in the treetops, it was soaked all over, and it had obviously been flying in the heavy rain for a long time, and finally it could not bear the wind and rain before it was forced to land.
Birds are sensitive to weather changes, and it stands to reason that sparrows will not continue to fly in such weather, but this little sparrow is obviously an exception.
The yellow-throated marten quietly searched around the pine trees, and a pair of small eyes rolled around, and soon saw the small round sparrows in the treetops.
The prey was close at hand, and the yellow-throated marten's hungry eyes were green, and its saliva was flowing from the sparrow, but it was not in a hurry to attack.
The sparrow is a clever bird, and if it is alarmed and its wings flap, its meal will be in vain.
The little sparrow, apparently not aware of the danger, was carefully combing its wet feathers under the cover of the branches and leaves with its small round head.
The heavy rain makes it no longer able to fly lightly, and it has to comb its feathers to keep its wings in good condition.
When Lin Qian saw the movement of the yellow-throated marten, he couldn't help but feel a little more energetic, and his little ears moved.
The yellow-throated marten was clearly a seasoned hunter, and it crept around behind the sparrow, hiding its movements by the howling of the wind and rain.
When the attack distance is excellent, a jump pounce will accurately bite the sparrow in the mouth.
"Twitter !!"
The chirping of panic and fear suddenly sounded, indicating that the sparrow's life had reached the point of life and death.
The freshly groomed feathers were messily tied together, and a small yellow paw grabbed the sparrow's fluttering wings.
The yellow-throated marten bites hard under its mouth.
The sparrow's eyes widened silently, and there was no more sparkle in his pupils.
Compared to the yellow-throated marten, its small round body is too small to withstand the force of the bite.
The successful yellow-throated marten bit the sparrow and quickly burrowed into the tree hole, and on this stormy afternoon, it was lucky after all.
Looking at the pine tree that had returned to calm, Lin Qian withdrew his gaze, stood up and stretched his lower limbs.
He wanted to personally stage a scene of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it......
After watching a good show, Lin Qian was also a little sleepy. The two-month-old tiger cub is still too young, and lethargy is inevitable.
Lin Qian walked to the grass nest and put his head on the little body that was warm with courage, as if using the little tiger cub as a pillow.
Poor courage didn't know that he was being used as a pillow, and he rubbed his brother who leaned over in his sleep, which was very intimate.
The rain fell heavily all day and did not stop until late at night.
The rainy weather is always exceptionally sunny, and Lin Qian always feels that today's sun is brighter than yesterday's.
After a full meal, Lin Qian rested for a while and continued to climb and exercise with courage, exercise cannot be left behind.
When he climbed to the pine tree, Lin Qian tried his best to go up, and then stood on the branch, roaring menacingly at the tree hole.
It's a pity, no matter how bad his actions are, the hollow of the tree stands quietly, and no living creature appears.
It seems that the yellow-throated marten has fled the place where the king lives early.
Unable to find the yellow-throated marten, Lin Qian was a little disappointed, and he still wanted to train to hunt.
Although the yellow-throated marten has some combat effectiveness, it is useless in front of the tiger.
He and the two tiger cubs of Courage were still not afraid of a yellow-throated marten.
The mother tiger squinted and snoozed under the tree, and when she saw the sun hanging high, she looked up and whispered to the tiger cubs in the tree, that she was going out with the brothers.
Lin Qianhe had the courage to jump down from the tree immediately, and climbing and jumping on the tree every day still had obvious results, and now the nearly two-meter-tall tree could no longer hinder them.
Leaving the tiger's den, Courage trotted all the way around the tiger mother.
No matter how excited he was, his courage did not leave the protective range of the tiger mother, and I don't know if this was a natural instinct or because of the shadow left by the last life and death crisis.
Lin Qian felt that it should be the latter, because beasts have no memory, and curiosity is the instinct of cubs.
In the forest, there are too many beast cubs dying of curiosity.
Lin Qian lost interest after walking for a while, this was the way to the river, he had just walked the day before yesterday, he remembered.
The tiger mother did take them to the river to drink water, and since the tiger cubs have reached the stage where they can travel, the tiger mother will no longer lock the tiger cubs in the tiger's den every day, and they will definitely not forget when they should be brought out.
When we got to the river, the water level seemed to rise a bit, and the water was no longer clear, because of yesterday's heavy rains, the river was obviously a little muddy today.
Seeing this, Lin Qian suddenly lost interest in drinking water, and gave up after licking it twice.
The tiger mother was accustomed to it, and drank it without care, and then plunged into the water.
Soaking in water in summer to cool down is a common method for tigers, and the tiger mother now has a huge body and dense hair than before, so it is naturally very hot.
Courage's enthusiasm for playing in the water was very high, and he immediately plunged into the river and fluttered vigorously.
Seeing this, Lin Qian also rushed into the river, he was not greedy for cold, but wanted to practice diving and swimming.
The skills that have been mastered need to be strengthened in order to improve!
The tiger mother squinted slightly, and her brown and yellow hair floated and moved with the waves.
The laziness of the big cat is vividly reflected in this moment.
At this time, the three tigers did not notice that a long black shadow appeared at the bottom of the river, swimming silently.
Courage was fiddling with his little tail and making a splash, his round head hanging low on the water, and his little paws were about to stretch out, trying to catch a small fish swimming by his side.
These little things that swim with them are very flexible, which really makes it curious.
Suddenly.
"Whoa——! With a bang, a large splash of water fell.
A black shadow broke through the water, and the blood basin bit straight at Courage's little head!
The tiger mother immediately turned the tiger's body, and the tiger palm shot out without hesitation.
"Smack!!" There was a loud bang, as if the ball had been blown up.
Before I could see what it was, the black shadow that jumped out of the bottom of the river had been shot out in an instant.
This sudden change frightened the little tiger cub, and the courage to panic called out, and swam to Lin Qian's side and close together.
Lin Qian was also taken aback by this sudden situation, and quickly rubbed his younger brother to appease him, and then quickly swam ashore.
