Passing through the bushy grass, the steed stopped beside a huge bluestone in the middle of the mountain. Nangong Longze jumped off the horse's back and gave him a hand. The woman also jumped off the horse neatly. The man led With her hand, she walked up the deserted path. This section of the road was a bit steep, and it was impossible to continue on the horse.

Huangfu Yuqing turned her head and saw Ji Lu and a few guards following at a distance, with a large piece of oilcloth wrapped in her hand, which vaguely looked like meat.

The sun is rising high, but there is no heat in the mountains. The lush green shade is undulating, full of spruce and juniper, and there are many wild fruits. You can clearly hear the springs and waterfalls flowing down the mountain stream. Huangfu Yuqing and the man kept crossing the dense forest, and from time to time they could see birds startled by their footsteps, until they reached a valley, the man finally stopped, staring sideways at her, and said in a low voice: "Three Years ago, the king hunted a pregnant cheetah here, and saw that it was pregnant... so the king let it go, not wanting the king to be besieged by wolves in the mountains the next day. Suddenly, a male leopard rushed out and started a fierce battle with the wolves before the king..."

"That male leopard must be the consort of the pregnant female leopard." Huangfu Yuqing said calmly, but he was also amazed at such a spiritual animal. Animals know how to be grateful, but often there are many people Not even beasts.

The woman's understated answer made Nangong Longze's deep eyes flicker with strangeness. Originally, she wanted to show off, but she didn't want to wait for him to ask the question, and the woman had already given the answer.

"I really made you guess right. The male cheetah is indeed the spouse of the female cheetah. It stepped forward to fight against the wolves. It should be to repay the king for letting his wife and children die." Nangong Longze's lips curled into a twitch. With a smile, he said in a low voice: "It's just that since then, the king has passed by here several times, but he has never seen them again, until this time..."

"My lord is in such a good mood, so I met an old friend." Huangfu Yuqing smiled slightly. Outsiders looked at the man as cold and heartless, but in her opinion, there was actually a pure and kind heart in this man. Child, even with beasts, you can use emotion. Can you still say that such a man is not kind?

"Exactly, and what's even more coincidental is that the female leopard is pregnant again this time, and it seems that the day of giving birth should not be far away..." Nangong Longze turned his head and waved his hand in Ji Lu's direction. Carrying that huge oilcloth bag and walking towards them, Huangfu Yuqing could vaguely see the blood dripping from the corner of the oilcloth bag. It seemed that she guessed right, the oilcloth bag contained fresh butchered meat. of meat.

"How can the prince be sure...they are still those two cheetahs? As far as my concubine knows, the cheetahs only live together during the rutting season in spring, and then the male leopards will leave, and the female leopards will hunt and raise cubs alone. According to what the lord said, these two cheetahs happened to be the two cheetahs from three years ago. Does this mean that they have never left each other and lived together all these years? It sounds...it seems It's so unbelievable." A suspicious look flashed across Huangfu Yuqing's eyes, and the corners of her lips still had a faint smile, it wasn't that she didn't believe men's words, and this was originally the law of survival of animals.

"I can be sure that they are them, and this has been confirmed. After a while, you will naturally believe what I say when you see them." Of course Nangong Longze could understand the suspicion in the woman's eyes, but he just smiled replied.

"Then the prince...is he specially sending meat for them to eat today?" Huangfu Yuqing asked indifferently.

"The military camp has been stationed here for a few days. Although the daily food and grass for the soldiers comes from the imperial court, they still need to hunt some prey in the deep mountains during the tooth making sacrifice, so that it is even more difficult for them to catch prey on weekdays. This king will give them I gave some antelope meat, which is the favorite food of cheetahs, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for these two old friends..." Nangong Longze's mellow and deep voice showed a hint of a smile, and he called that man in a woman's words. Two cheetahs are old friends.

When Huangfu Yuqing heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and suddenly she heard a pop sound from behind, as if something was rushing towards her, the woman turned around quickly to avoid it, looked back and saw a whole body Covered with dark golden rings, the fat and strong leopard jumped towards them from a huge rock on the opposite side. It was huge and light when it landed silently. His eyes stared up and down at her.

Although she was very calm on weekdays, at this moment Huangfu Yuqing still had to admit that she was a little scared by this huge monster. This should be the big cat that the man mentioned, right?

Seeing panic and fear flashing across the woman's watery eyes, Nangong Longze took advantage of the opportunity to hug her, hid her in his arms, and at the same time laughed presumptuously: "Qing'er is also scared sometimes, this is really rare." ..."

"The sudden appearance of such a big cat will scare anyone?" Huangfu Yuqing gave the man an angry look, and at the same time stared vigilantly at the huge male leopard. However, from its eyes, the woman could feel that although it was wary of itself, it was not malicious.

"Big cat? This name is interesting... This is the first time this king has heard someone call it that." Nangong Longze smiled, and at the same time said to the huge cheetah in a low voice: "Big cat, I will do the same in the future Let me call you, she is the king's woman, today the king specially brought her to see your wife, and brought her some delicious food, take a look..."

Nangong Longze took the oilcloth bag handed over by Ji Lu, and after two clicks, more than half of the antelope meat was exposed, and the cheetah shook its head, and it was standing there with an elegant posture just a second ago. In the next second, he grinned and jumped towards the man happily, instead of taking the meat directly from the man's hand, he put his front paws on the man's body, stretched out his tongue and licked his face, and then Then he stretched out his big tongue and licked the man's hand, and finally dragged the big piece of meat into the cave with his mouth.

"Go, go in and see its daughter-in-law, I'm afraid it will give birth to five or six..." Nangong Longze's mellow and deep laughter slowly escaped, and Huangfu Yuqing could already imagine the female leopard inside. The stomach must be very big. If it were human beings, it would be exhausting to give birth to twins in one litter. These animals give birth to many twins in one litter, and the pregnancy must be very hard. Fortunately, the cheetah's pregnancy is only three months. In October, it must be exhausting.

Huangfu Yuqing followed the man into the cave, and Ji Lu and his party were obviously still a little worried. Although they kept a certain distance, they also followed them into the cave, leaving two guards outside to watch.

Huangfu Yuqing watched the man take out the short blade, skillfully cut the half antelope into several pieces, except for the pregnant female leopard, the male leopard can also share it together, Nangong Longze smiled and cut off a strip of meat and handed it to the female leopard mouth, and patted it on the head at the same time, as if speaking to an old friend, and whispered: "I am afraid that the king will leave in a few days. Because of fate, before leaving, this king specially came to see you. If there is fate, maybe we will meet again."

As if the female leopard understood what he said, she suddenly opened her mouth to grab the man's trousers, and tugged at him vigorously. Her eyes looked a little complicated, and Huangfu Yuqing couldn't help being secretly surprised. At first, she thought it was the cheetah. After understanding the man's words, he was reluctant to let him go, but after careful observation, it seemed that this was not the case.

The male leopard, who was eating with gusto, suddenly stopped eating. His agile and strong body leaped to the side of the female leopard. He stretched out his tongue and gently licked his mate's cheek, as if grooming her. These observations seem more like comfort and encouragement.

"It seems to be about to give birth..." Huangfu Yuqing suddenly made a sound, which also made the eyes of the man who had just noticed the strangeness startled slightly. Nangong Longze stared carefully at the female leopard curled up on the ground, and it hummed. With a sound of pain, a smell of smell mixed with fresh blood escaped into their noses with the slightest breeze.

Huangfu Yuqing and the man looked at the smell almost at the same time. Compared with the male leopard, the female leopard was much smaller in size. She had given birth to a litter before, but this time she seemed to be having a hard time giving birth. Huangfu Yuqing's intuition believes that this female leopard is most likely to have a dystocia, because the pain can be heard in her low growl, I wonder if it is because there are too many leopard cubs in this pregnancy, so Make it look hard, the abdomen is distended badly, and there are more and more bloodstains on the ground.

The male leopard seemed a little flustered. It was seen pacing back and forth quickly beside the female leopard, sticking out its tongue and licking her birth opening, as if hoping to ease the pain of its partner through its own caress, but its movements obviously did not work. The distressed voice of the female leopard became louder and louder. The pair of deep and emotional leopard eyes flashed across the face of the male leopard, and finally looked at Nangong Longze standing opposite. Calling him for help.

"Ze, it... seems to be having a difficult delivery." Huangfu Yuqing was completely sure of this at this moment. Beside her, besides being surprised, the woman was more moved. These two cheetahs are indeed different. The relationship between them is rare in the animal world, and even in the human world, there are many people who can't match it.

"I think... I can try to help it." Huangfu Yuqing is also not sure, let alone delivering an animal, she has never experienced delivering a human even once. At this moment, a dead horse is treated as a living horse Doctors, I can only try it, it's better than watching this female leopard dying on the lifeline.

"Well. This king is right here. If you need me to do something, you can open it at any time..." Nangong Longze looked at the woman's serious water eyes, nodded, and at the same time stretched out his big hand to gently pat the female leopard's head , and said in a low voice: "My Qing'er is a doctor, she can help you, you must be obedient and don't hurt her..."

The man's mellow and hoarse low voice seemed to have magical powers, which made the female leopard with tight limbs gradually calm down, and the male leopard beside him seemed to understand human words at this moment, and moved a little irritably. After two clicks, he curled up obediently beside the female leopard, and licked her face with her tongue, as if to comfort her.

"Help me hold its forelimbs, so that it won't accidentally kick the leopard cub when it hurts." Huangfu Yuqing squatted on the female leopard's hind legs, planning to help her give birth.

Hearing this, Ji Lu and the soldiers also came to help and held down the female leopard's head and forelegs. Huangfu Yuqing parted the female leopard's hind legs, and could see mixed dirty blood continuously flowing out of the delivery port. I'm afraid it will continue like this If the amniotic fluid runs dry, the leopard cub will suffocate and die before it comes out. At that time, not only the leopard cub will be in danger, but the leopard mother will also be in danger.

Huangfu Yuqing took a deep breath, calmed down, and tentatively opened the delivery mouth, because she had given birth once before, and the mouth of this female leopard was still soft and loose. The mouth of the leopard cub went all the way in, and after a while, it touched a ball of softness. Several small feet were all stuck together, at least the legs of two leopard cubs were entangled, as if they were about to grab It seemed to run out of the mother's womb, but the little ones were all stuck in the delivery port.

"It's stuck, I'll try my best to help them separate..." Huangfu Yuqing's eyes flashed with joy, it was a good thing to be able to figure out the cause of the dystocia so quickly, all she needs to do now is to These cubs huddled together lined up so that the leopard cub at the front of the body came out first, and the rear naturally became easier and easier.

Huangfu Yuqing identified a small head by the touch of her palm. This little leopard cub was at the front, so she had to carefully get it out first, so the woman carefully took its little head out, At the same time, fingers gently and lightly pushed aside the other calves wrapped around its body, gradually leading the first leopard cub out of the birth canal.

"Woo——" the female leopard let out a low moan, and the male leopard's deep eyes were tense and vigilant. When he saw the cub that came out in response, he also let out a loud and loud roar, which shook Huangfu Yuqing's ears. Her body was numb, but she knew it was Xiongbao's joyful cheer when he saw his child.

The smooth delivery of the first leopard cub also made Huangfu Yuqing secretly heave a long sigh of relief, feeling the hot eyes from her side, following her gaze to meet the admiring eyes of the man in front of her, ignoring the sticky hands Feeling uncomfortable, the woman put the cub under the warm belly of the female leopard, then stretched the catkin in again, and continued to help it continue to give birth.
