The lion goes wandering

Chapter 18 Returning to the starting point of wandering
Peach Blossom Eye and Red Ribbon returned to the Rollian Prairie and lived the life of a tramp again.Today I was driven to the east by the ultra-short hyena lion group, and tomorrow I was driven to the west by the Kaza lion group. I was hungry and full, wandering and exhausted.I wanted to cross the Batia Desert to open up a new territory and start a new life. Unexpectedly, fate made a joke with them, drew a circle, and the end point returned to the starting point. It was really like a dream.

Two months later, they finally found a relatively fixed habitat on the edge of the territory of the Dolticaca lions.

Many lion groups are named after big male lions, and the head of the one-eared Tikka group is the big one-eared lion named Tikka.It's not that the one-eared Tikka is particularly merciful and sympathetic, pitying the homeless Peach Blossom and Red Streamer, allowing them to linger on the edge of its territory.One-eared Tikka, like the big males of other lion prides, regards the stray males as enemies and wishes to drive them all to extinction.The reason why Peach Blossom Eye and Red Ribbon choose the edge of the territory of the One-eared Tikka Lions as their fixed habitat, and the reason why they can stand on the edge of the territory of the One-eared Tikka Lions is due to the following favorable factors.

First of all, the geographical environment is very favorable to them.The territory of the one-eared Titicaca lions is at the southwestern end of the Rollian Prairie, next to the Sischa Swamp.The swamp is full of unfathomable quagmire, except for crocodiles and water birds, other animals dare not visit.

Peach Blossom Eyes and Red Ribbon were chased to nowhere by the big male lions of other lions, and escaped into the Sischa swamp many times at the risk of getting stuck in the mud. experience of.Usually, they inhabit the grasslands and woods near the edge of the territory of the one-eared lions. When the one-eared lions attack them, they flee into the Sischa swamp, jumping from one grass mound to another, Play a game of hide and seek among the dotted mud puddles.The one-eared male lion was afraid of being trapped in the mud and would be wiped out. After a few steps, he dared not pursue them any more.

Secondly, compared with other lion groups, the one-eared Tikka lion group is weaker. In addition to the one-eared male lion, there is also a half-tailed old male lion and six female lions, which belong to a small tribe in the lion group, or Belonging to the third world of the lion society.For Tao Huayan and Hong Piaotai, staying here is less threatening than staying next to a large lion group with dozens of lions, and the factor of safety is higher.

Several times, they were so hungry that they broke into the one-eared Kaka lion group to catch their prey. They were spotted by the other side and surrounded them to fight.If they break into the territory of a big lion pride like Graynose or Shatla to poach, surrounded by ten or twenty lions, it is impossible to escape with only a little injury, ranging from disability to severe. die.

The last reason, and the most important reason, is that the one-eared male lion is older than the male lions in the surrounding lion groups, with a full 22-year-old tooth mouth.The lifespan of a lion is about 30 years old, and if it exceeds 30 years old, it is a birthday star and a "human".The age group with the most physical strength and the most vigorous energy for a lion is between the ages of ten and 20, that is to say, the one-eared male lion has passed the peak of its life and has begun to decline, or it has entered the ranks of middle-aged and elderly people.

The other half-truncated old male lion is older than the one-eared Kaka, with a scorched beard, mottled body hair, and lost incisors, showing signs of aging.

If there is no accident, the one-eared lion group will change its dynasty earlier than other lion groups, and the one-eared male lion will be eliminated by life earlier than the other male lions.In other words, Peach Blossom Eyes and Red Ribbon can realize their dream of owning their own territory and lioness earlier.

Peach Blossom Eyes and Red Ribbon are determined to deal with the one-eared lion to the end, and stay here for a long time, until one day they drive the old and frail one-eared lion from the throne.

Peach Blossom Eyes is gnawing on half of an old crocodile carcass snatched from the mouth of a vulture. The internal organs and most of the crocodile meat have been eaten by the vultures. There is a strange smell.It’s just such a little carrion, and I still have to share it with the red streamer. I finished it after only a few bites, and at least half of my stomach is empty. Alas, I have to go through the long night half hungry.

After eating the last bite of the crocodile meat, Tao Huayan leaped onto a mound, lay on her stomach, and licked the blood and flesh on the corners of her mouth, beard, and claws.

After the rain, the sky is sunny and the air is very fresh.The long dry season in Africa has just ended, and the rain makes the scorched land exude a good smell; the new shoots of the hawthorn tree are inlaid with a faint golden red on the scorched branches; The green grass stretches quietly on the black land; the setting sun silently slides down, spreading a layer of magnificent colors on the grassland after the rain.

Vomit—vomit—the noisy lion roar came from the territory of the one-eared Tikka lions, breaking the tranquility of the evening.Taohuayan looked up and saw that six lionesses were working together to lift an African sambar, roaring excitedly, and carried it to the big one-eared lion who was sleeping under the hawthorn tree.Because the distance is not far, Taohuayan can see clearly that the African sambar is not dead yet, lying on its side on the ground kicking its legs, its head sinking and lifting feebly.The one-eared lion stretched his waist, lay down on the sambar, tore open the sambar's neck, and sucked the plasma.

Taohua gets angry when she sees it, she is old and immortal, and when she wakes up from a lazy sleep, she can drink fresh blood plasma, but when her lips are dry, she can only run to the swamp to drink rusty and smelly water.

The big one-eared lion drank deer blood freely, its eyes were slightly closed, its silver whiskers were upturned, and it looked like it was intoxicated.Tsk tsk, the hot and fragrant deer blood mushrooms melt in the mouth, nourishing the lungs and nourishing the body, the taste must be delicious, peach blossom eyes can't help but drool.

The half-tailed old male lion also ran over. The two male lions and six lionesses worked together to chop the sambar into eight pieces and feast on them under the hawthorn tree.The one-eared lion gnawed on the deer's leg, and there was still a lot of meat on the leg bone that hadn't been eaten clean, so it was thrown away together with the skin, and another deer's leg was gnawed on.This is too wasteful. Peach Blossom is so angry that it can't even eat the rotten crocodile meat, and the one-eared lion kills alive and eats sambar meat, and picks and chooses fat, throwing it away as it eats.It's too unfair to die from fullness and starve to death from hunger!

After a while, the one-eared lion was full and lay down in the grass, licking his paws, combing his beard, and washing his face in the usual way of cats.A gray-brown lioness covered with snowflake-like white spots walked around behind the one-eared lion and licked off the grass and leaves on the one-eared lion's legs.The other lioness, whose black hair on the tip of its tail was so fluffy as a blooming black chrysanthemum, stood in front of the one-eared male lion, and used its tongue to help it clean the blood stained on the mane on both sides of its cheek.

The snowflake lioness licked very elegantly, with the tip of her tongue sliding down her fur, rustling, soft and gentle, just like a well-trained masseur giving a health massage.The movements of the black chrysanthemum lioness are extraordinarily delicate, with her tongue waving back and forth on the curly mane, like a star beautician designing her image.

After a while, the one-eared male lion was licked clean and refreshed, and his face was radiant.The more you look at the peach blossom eyes, the more itchy your eyes become, and the more you look at them, the more unbalanced your mind becomes. This old guy is too happy to live. There is a lioness hunting sambar for him, and a lioness licking and grooming his fur. So moisturizing!
Eat and drink enough, lie on the soft grass, bathe in the rose-colored sunset, let the lioness lick the mane and body hair, tsk tsk, this is probably the most wonderful thing in the world, the taste is definitely better than eating alive The little goral is more delicious, and it is definitely more comfortable than lying in the shade of the cool breeze under the scorching sun.If possible, Tao Huayan would like to rush up to kill or drive away the one-eared lion, and replace him himself.Unfortunately, it was wishful thinking and a dream that could not be realized.Its muscles and bones are not strong enough, and its minions are not sharp enough. If it rushes over now, it will only die in vain.Not to mention that the other party has six adult lionesses as companions, even a one-eared male lion and a half-tailed old male lion are enough to bite it and the red streamer to pieces.

It seems that he can only wait patiently until the one-eared lion is old and frail, and his muscles and bones are strong, so that he can replace the current position of the one-eared lion and live the life of the one-eared lion.However, this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?
It is true that Duerika is the oldest lion compared with the big male lions in the surrounding lions, but this is only in comparison.In fact, One Ear Kaka is far from reaching the end of life. To say that it is an old man calling it an old man is obviously an exaggeration.Its teeth are not loose, its hair is not bald, its eyes are not dazzled, its claws are not blunt, its back is not bent, its waist is not slumped, its legs are not soft, it jumps and bites vigorously and freely, and its roar is loud and majestic. It is still unknown when it will be able to report to Lord Yama Woolen cloth.

Although its peach blossom eyes are like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, it is in the period of youth growth, thriving, getting more mature and stronger every day, while the one-eared Kaka is like the sun at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, going downhill, As the sun goes down, it goes from bad to worse, aging day by day, but this is just a hypothesis, a reasoning, not an iron fact.

The fact is that the one-eared Kaka is pampered and pampered. He doesn’t have to worry about his livelihood, and he doesn’t have to run around for food. It can prolong life, and it is not a problem to live another ten or eight years, and it is impossible to know whether you will live forever.

And its peach blossom eyes live in an extremely harsh living environment, and it is not too much to describe it as dire water and hot water. It runs around all day long, and it still has to worry about the next meal. It must beware of the chasing and chasing of the big lions all the time. I am in a state of high tension every second, and even sleep with one eye open. Such days will definitely shorten my life, and whether I can survive is still a question.

It is entirely possible that before Duerikaka got old and frail, Peach Blossom Eye was eliminated by life first.

It is a hundred times more likely to encounter an accident than a single-eyed cat: one morning, it may be bitten to death by a ferocious big lion while poaching into the territory of other lions; It slipped and fell into the unfathomable swamp and drowned; it may eat rotten food and die of diarrhea; it may also starve to death because it cannot find food... Even if it can survive in safety, wait patiently until Duerka Kaka is old and frail, and seized power step by step, and changed the one-eared Kaka lion group to peach blossom-eyed lion group. It is also a middle-aged lion, and its life has begun to decline. How much energy can it have to enjoy a sweet life? ?

1 years is too long, seize the day and night.The best way to live is to be young and proud.

Youth is the golden period of life, full of energy, full of vitality, full of fun, sound in mind, rich in emotion, hot in feelings, full of enthusiasm, life is like a flame that has just been ignited, full of longing for the future, full of confidence in the future, and success at this time , Drinking the fine wine of life is not in vain for the lion to live a lifetime of grass and trees!

Mid-aged success, half of life is over, looking back on the ups and downs, the body and mind are exhausted, the energy is exhausted, the edges and corners have been smoothed, the emotions have cooled, the mind is full of snobbery and calculation, and the taste is wiped out. Even if happiness is obtained, it is at least half of it of.In the old age, success, autumn wind and frosty leaves, everything will become a passing cloud, the silk will be spit out, and the bamboo will bloom. No matter how good it is, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

It was gradually getting dark, and the one-eared Kaka, the snowflake lioness, and the black chrysanthemum lioness were all hidden in the night as thick as ink, and the night wind brought the male lion and the lioness flirting and whispering.Peach Blossom Eyes hates so much that his gums run sour, and the old immortal hugs left and right to enter the tender land, but it has to go to the swamp with the red streamer to catch mice in the dark, and the crocodile carrion for dinner has long been digested. I have to catch a few mice to fill my hunger.

It can't wait endlessly, Peach Blossom Eyes thought while walking, it can't let its youth be wasted in waiting, it has to try to make the one-eared Kaka die early, so that he can ascend to the throne of the Lion King early!
