Chapter 1220: Walking with the Beast (31)
In the grasslands of early autumn, the meadows are still green, and herbivores are munching on the delicious food in the fields. The cubs, who are still young in early spring, have grown up, and their young bodies exude vitality.
The cubs in the lion pack are also a third of their parents, and it will take them a year before they can leave their mothers to find their territory and mates.
The big cat carried Wen Cha and met one of the lionesses, this lioness has one of the best force values in the lion pack, and some time ago she killed a buffalo strongly, which made Wen Cha look at it with admiration.
When the lioness saw the big cat, she didn't run away like the male lion and other lionesses, but stopped to say hello to the big cat before Shi Shiran staggered.
The big cat flicked its long tail, but instead of responding to the lioness, she carried the warm tea to the nearest salt-fruit tree.
Wen Cha glanced back at the lioness and found that she had returned to the cub without any abnormality, putting aside the distractions in her mind and carefully searching for the salt fruit on the tree.
The big cat stood under the tree, circling around her, and it was useless to become a human and act with her.
This is Wen Cha Sanshen Wuling warned him, she just knows about becoming a human, if other animals on the grassland also know, I am afraid that he will also be regarded as an alien, then it will be troublesome.
After Wen Cha finished finding the salt fruit on one tree, he beckoned the big cat to walk towards the other tree.
In the afternoon, the two of them took down most of the salt fruits on the grassland.
The salt fruit in autumn is dried by the sun, and it is all granular powder, which has a heavier taste than before warm tea.
The warm tea was packed with two large yarn leaf bags and returned with a full load.
Instead of going back to the tree house, the two went back to the cave and deposited the salt in the small stone chamber in the cave.
Early the next morning, the two went to the forest to the east and dug up most of the sweet potatoes as winter rations.
By that time, the weather was getting colder and colder.
In the past, the sun could be seen occasionally, but it was cloudy for several days in a row.
The animals of the steppe began to migrate to other places, trying to get out of this haunted place before winter came.
The big cat had previously stored a cellar ration in the cellar of the cave.
Last year he was not yet an adult, his appetite was not as big as it is now, and now he can eat one to two times as much food per meal as he did last year.
Wen Cha was afraid that there would not be enough food, so he moved all the food he could get into the cave, and stored a stone chamber just for the fruit, plus some messy things, and the big cat had to dig a new stone chamber in it to come out, so he barely put everything down.
On the day the lions on the grassland left, they also ran over to say goodbye to the big cat, it was the male lion, maybe they didn't know each other, although the male lion lost face, but he still had some sympathy for the big cat.
The big cat looked at the male lion a few times without being cold, and let out a few deep roars in his throat, standing in the dry grass, looking majestic.
The male lion responded to him, and then left the grassland with the lioness and cubs.
Wen Cha saw the lioness whose hind legs were bitten off by the big cat, and her condition was much better than before, and she was accompanied by two and a half large lion cubs, circling around it very lively.
I hope it will come back alive next year.
After sending the lions away, the two moved out of the treehouse and returned to the cave to wait for the first snow of winter.
The snow came quickly, and when the creatures outside were almost extinct, heavy snow invaded the entire forest overnight.
Wen Cha woke up in the warm quilt, and it was already a white ice and snow world outside.
The big cat hugged her with both hands, and her body was as warm as a stove.
Wen Cha curled into his arms and shoved her feet between his legs, soaking up the warmth from him.
The big cat lazily opened its eyes, closed them again, and instinctively stuck out its tongue to lick her cheeks.
The hot tongue left wet marks on her face, and the stickiness made Wen Cha want to drag him out and beat him again.
The big cat in winter is lazy, he basically doesn't go out, and the only few times he goes out is once to process the internal organs and fur of food, and once to get clean snow.
Wen Cha is even lazier than him, since he can become a human, her work in the kitchen has basically been taken over by him, she only needs to lie on the bed, there is fragrant barbecue to eat, warm hot soup to drink.
The big cat pampered her, and after feeding, he took her a few Cordyceptic leaves and put them in her mouth, and stuffed her back in the bed.
He himself went back to eat by the stove.
Wen Cha lifted his eyelids and looked at him quietly, and when he had eaten, he beckoned him to come to his side, and taught him to read and write.
She taught him to write his own name, write her name, and when he learned it, she taught him to write pots and pans, melons, fruits and vegetables, etc.
She didn't know when she would leave, maybe next summer, maybe the summer after that, she didn't have much time to spend with him, and before that, she hoped to leave him something.
Maybe he will be able to become a human in the future, and then he can teach his own children what she taught him, and then their lives will be better.
The big cat learns very seriously, although he doesn't even have the right posture of holding carbon wood, but what Wen Cha says, he still writes.
This winter was much calmer than last winter, and the giant hyenas on the steppe did not come to find fault, nor did the other wild beasts come to grab the females.
The food in the cellar barely lasted until the end of winter, in order to avoid the big cat from being hungry and thin, Wen Cha stewed out the sweet potatoes and air-dried meat for the big cat to eat, and when spring came, the big cat only lost a little weight, which was better than the skinny and sleepy giant hyenas on the grassland.
After the first rain of spring, the forest finally shed its snow-white and cold clothes, revealing a green skirt like emerald.
Herds of herbivores return to the grasslands, and in just one day, the dry trees are turning new green, and the wildflowers are blooming, giving the forest a delicate coat of colour.
When the rain stopped, the big cat ran to the grassland and brought back two oily and slippery wildebeests, and cooked a beautiful meal in the cave.
The lions also returned, still the leader of last year's male lion, and he walked majestically in front of the lions, followed by eight or nine lionesses, some of whom had seen last year and some of whom had not seen last year.
The lame lioness was among them, her children were there, and apparently they had a good winter and even won a battle when they reached the migration site.
The big cat went over to say hello to it with warm tea, and the male lion showed a trace of excitement when he saw the old neighbor, and howled and told the big cat how he was in the migration place How to drive away the leading male lion and grab the other party's territory and the three lionesses.
The big cat was not interested in any of this, and his eyes swept over the three strange lioness behind him, with a warning in his eyes.
The three lionesses glanced at Wen Cha in a trance, although they were curious about Wen Cha's identity, they didn't have the heart to come forward to say hello.
They have just lost their cubs and have not yet recovered from their grief.
