Chapter Seventy-Seven: "The Orphan of the Tiger Capital"
The sky is white, another cold night has passed, calculate the time, Li Hang has been in the world of Liaodong for nearly half a year, and Liaodong from early autumn to the present, it should also be the cold season of spring.
After a busy night, there were a lot of harvests, and all kinds of different prey finally filled the "belly of the hidden mountain", but Li Hang, who had wandered around most of the mountain, still did not find a trace of the tiger.
Could it be that this is a borderless mountain?
With a hint of puzzlement, Li Hang got into a hare hole whose master had been swallowed by him into the "belly of the Tibetan Mountain" and fell asleep.
"Pounce, pounce!"
Li Hang, who was asleep, was awakened by the sound of digging overhead, and it seemed that some animal above his head had discovered this hole in the ground that he had hastily covered, and his claws were digging down quickly.
Li Hang remained silent, lowered his head and gently sniffed the breath coming from the animal, and after filtering the rich smell of hares in the burrow and the dust falling overhead, he was surprised to find that the animal was actually a tiger cub.
The tiger that I didn't find after running most of the mountain yesterday actually appeared like this.
Not wanting to continue waiting, he jumped out of the hole and startled the tiger cub who was digging the hole.
"Meow...... Huh?"
Li Hang was stunned for a moment, "There is still such a tiger?"
He came all the way and encountered a lot of tigers, from the mighty and solemn frontier tiger, to the somewhat talkative Wanyan Mo, and he also encountered tigers of different sizes and appearances.
But the half-grown tiger cub in front of him, even if he added the various tigers he saw on the Internet when he was a human before, did not have the peculiar appearance of this little tiger.
The tiger cub was startled by the two-tailed cat that came out, and hurriedly ran away a few steps, but when he saw Li Hang's appearance as an animal that didn't seem to be very powerful, his courage returned to his body, and he leaned down and roared at Li Hang.
Li Hang was attracted by its appearance, and stared at the tiger cub for a while.
It's not that he doesn't know it, but this tiger cub is really different, its appearance is not black and yellow like ordinary tigers, but it has a black fur with a blue background.
Li Hang has also seen white tigers and lion tigers on the Internet, but he has never seen black and blue tigers.
"Ah~Ahh
After satisfying his curiosity, Li Hang finally noticed the little blue tiger's expression, and saw that its immature face was full of hesitation, as if considering whether to attack him directly.
"Meow~ Hello, beautiful little tiger, are you the king of the mountain on this mountain?" Li Hang said jokingly.
The little blue tiger seemed to have not dealt with other animals for a long time, and after understanding Li Hang's words, he immediately put away his teeth and claws, shrank his head shyly, and looked at Li Hang with watery eyes, looking like he wanted to speak but was a little afraid to speak.
"Hey, little one, where's your mother??" When Li Hang saw it, he immediately remembered the scene when he first met Yan Tudu's two sons.
Hearing the two-tailed cat on the other side mention the pronunciation of "mother", the little blue tiger's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he lowered his head in a low manner, but still did not speak.
"Mi~ Then this mountain is all your own, then you are really powerful, you became a mountain monarch at such a young age. The attentive Li Hang found the sadness in his eyes, and he didn't ask much, half-jokingly diverting the topic.
The little blue tiger was still immersed in depression and did not respond to Li Hang's joke.
Feeling that it should be his mother who mentioned it, it made the little blue tiger fall into sadness, and Li Hang magically spit out a small piece of wild mutton from the "belly of the Tibetan mountain".
"Well, little one, you see, I have a piece of meat here, do you want to eat it? ”
After all, the depression of the mood is no match for the hunger in the stomach.
Smelling the fragrant smell of fresh meat, the little blue tiger finally raised his head, his two beautiful black eyes stared at the piece of mutton, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth fell to the ground one by one.
Li Hang didn't tease it, raised his paw and waved it casually, and put the piece of mutton in front of the little blue tiger.
The little guy looked surprised, lowered his head and was about to eat, his teeth just touched the edge of the mutton, but he suddenly thought of something, raised his head and glanced at Li Hang quickly, seeing that he was still staying in place and not moving, so he lowered his head again and ate it in a big gulp.
Quietly didn't make any sound, for fear of scaring the little blue tiger, Li Hang waited for it to eat almost, and then said: "I know two little tigers, about the same age as you, one with small ears and one with a short tail, they are very naughty, and they like to hide in the grass and ambush those passing animals, once ......"
Li Hang is now making up the story of the little tiger, and gradually attracted the attention of the little blue tiger, after eating the mutton, he listened to the story attentively, and was full of yearning for the life of the two little tigers in the story.
“...... Later, they became the kings of the two mountains, ruled over their subordinates, and lived happily ever after. ”
Seeing that the sadness in the little blue tiger's expression had disappeared, Li Hang continued to say softly, "Okay, little guy, the meat has been eaten, the story is finished, I am also leaving, if there is a chance in the future, let's see you again." ”
"Brother Bobcat, Little Ears, and Short Tail, don't they have parents either?" Seeing that Li Hang was leaving, Little Blue Tiger finally couldn't help but ask.
Li Hang, who had already turned around, heard the cry of the little blue tiger and slowly turned his head: "Yes, they don't have a mother, they only grew up by their own efforts, and you have to work hard to live." ”
Unable to bear to see the loss in the eyes of this young little blue tiger again, Li Hang told it a white lie. As for the mother and son who are the blueprint for the story, well, they don't know anyway, and there are a lot of things that have been made up in the previous story.
"So, their mother, was also killed by the Tiger Hunter?" asked the little blue tiger again.
Tiger hunter? Li Hang's footsteps paused, turned around completely, and walked a few steps towards the little blue tiger, he didn't expect to encounter so many beasts along the way and didn't ask for any trace of humans, but he heard the news in the mouth of the little tiger.
"Tiger hunters, do you mean humans? Is it just a terrible race with two legs and many tools to trap and kill tigers?" Li Hang asked as gently as he could.
"Brother Bobcat, have you ever seen tiger hunters? They look like that, their claws are very long and sharp, and they can throw out long teeth, my mother was killed by them, woo~" The little blue tiger was talking, with a trace of trilling in his voice, like fear, like sobbing.
