The lion goes wandering

Chapter 7 Cannibalism (2)
The black hyena screamed, reflexively wanted to turn its body to bite and fight back, but its body was as dead as a stone and could not move, so it had to change its method, swung its tail to sweep, and the old hyena fled away from it again. .

In the wild grass behind it, there were bursts of cheers from the hyenas, probably holding a celebration for the old hyena.

How despicable it is to use the pain of others to set off your own greatness!
Is it too much to eat a live lion?I'm afraid it will become a big joke passed down through the ages in the animal world!Alas, it is too unfair for a dragon to enter a shallow pond to be teased by shrimps, a tiger to fall in Pingyang to be bullied by dogs, and a down-and-out lion to be eaten by hyenas.

Black Mane was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

The old hyena has already started, and the other hyenas will follow suit, follow the example of the old hyena, and attack it sneakily from behind.The black mane thought, you come to take a bite, and it will take a bite too. No matter how big my body is, I can't stand this kind of petty theft. I will be bitten into a skeleton before it gets dark tomorrow.This is a veritable kind of Lingchi, not only the body is destroyed, but the mind is also tortured with pain.Its heart is still beating, it is still breathing, but it can only watch the ugly hyena tear itself to pieces, which is too useless.He was a lion at any rate, and he could not bear such extreme contempt and the most vicious insult!
Besides, being bitten to death with a big mouthful of blood is definitely better than being killed by countless stinky mouths with small mouthfuls.

To die in the mouth of a little hyena, than in the mouth of a fellow lion!

In general, lions, like other mammals including humans, have the taboo of not cannibalism.If there were no such taboo, you would eat me, and I would eat you, and you would treat me as food, and I would treat you as food. There would have been no animals like lions in this world for a long time.Therefore, in the lion pride society, even if the old lion dies, even if the young lion dies, even if the adult lion is injured and dies, the carnivorous lions will not eat them for convenience, but will eat the same kind of lions. Carcasses are left in the wild, to be picked up by hyenas and vultures.No lion in the world would consider it somewhat wasteful from the point of view of economy.

All lions are born with such a paranoid view that the meat of their own kind is not tasty and therefore should not be eaten.They would rather pick up rotting rats than touch the corpses of their own kind.But lions will also break this taboo under special circumstances, that is, when facing hunger.When they can't find food for several days in a row, when they can't even eat rotten mice, when their eyes turn green and their stomachs twitch with hunger, they will also feel guilty and disgusted, and eat the corpses of their own kind to Seek to survive.

During the famine years, there were even crimes of hungry adult lions killing and devouring cubs in individual lion groups, and there were also some barbaric acts of several healthy lions besieging and killing an old lion to divide and eat them. But once the famine passed, When other food can be hunted, this phenomenon of cannibalism will disappear immediately, the taboo will come into play again, and the evil behavior will be effectively stopped immediately.For lions, all evils and hunger are the first, and all good things are first.

Now, five half-grown male lions are in a desperate situation, that is to say, it's time to break the taboo of not cannibalism.

Having made up his mind, the black mane kept nodding, and the tip of the tail danced up and down, calling the four brothers to him. Then, he tilted his head upwards, exposing the detached jaw and the kicked neck, almost The blood that was about to freeze was gurgling out again.It raised its head and twisted its neck, its throat was itchy as if a cricket grass was teasing it, it coughed violently, and spewed out a few mouthfuls of plasma.It deliberately used this method to fill the air with a strong smell of blood, so as to stimulate the appetite of the four brothers.

Scarface was the first to realize what was going on.It froze for a moment, and then its dim eyes shone with excitement like a lit match, its lips tightened, its long beard raised wickedly high, its blood-red tongue was grinding back and forth between its sharp teeth, its demeanor, It seems to have seen a lamb delivered to the door.

Immediately afterwards, Peach Blossom Eyes also came alive, grabbing the grass roots with both paws, the meaning of that movement was like sharpening a knife, it could be torn faster at that time.

Black Hyena's heart was half cold. These two guys must have wanted to treat it as food to tide over the difficulties, but they were embarrassed to eat it because of their feelings.It felt sad.

Yes, it was determined to sacrifice itself to make the four brothers happy, but it didn't want to see their normal expressions. It hoped that after they understood what it meant, they would at least show some emotion, not tears of gratitude.It is very clear in its heart that whether they take it for granted or show gratitude, the final outcome of the matter is the same. It was brutally dismembered, and the male lion became meat that could satisfy its hunger, but it Longing for them to be touched.It stubbornly believes that in their moving expressions, its actions will be sublimated into a kind of righteous deed that lasts through the ages, and life will acquire sacred and eternal value.

At this time, the big lion squeezed away the scarred face and peach blossom eyes, got in front of the black mane, and started an unprecedented performance.

The big lion must have seen its sadness, and must have seen its subtle psychological activities. The face, which was calm just now, suddenly wrinkled into a ball as if it had eaten Coptis chinensis by mistake, like a bitter melon that was just picked. He shook his huge head desperately, his tail drooped between his crotches, his two hind paws kicked the grass indiscriminately, and he made a loud whimpering sound from his mouth.This expression has gone far beyond the ordinary touch, and the word grateful is not enough to describe it, it is completely mournful, like a mourning concubine.

This is too exaggerated, Black Mane thought, it is impossible for a lion who is about to starve to death to have such rich and delicate emotions.It admits that the five and a half male lions have a brotherhood of sharing weal and woe, but this kind of friendship can never be compared with a dead mother, let alone everyone is in the difficult situation of life and death.If it is too exaggerated, it will appear unreal, and you can tell it is acting at a glance.But it doesn't want to blame the big lion, the lion's first priority is to feed itself.Besides, it's better to have false feelings than to have no feelings at all.When it is false, it is true and it is false. If it is true or false, ghosts know, it can be regarded as the distraught heartfelt feelings of the big lion. Take hypocrisy as a tonic, can't you also get a little self-comfort?

——Sorrow and change, you have never had me as a big brother.The mouth hole that the black mane cannot close is attached to the big lion's ear, muttering babbling.

——Brother, we really miss you, the big lion also muttered, brother, I really wish I could die for you.

——Okay, if you really want to be sincere, write an application and request to make food.

……

- A fake is a fake, and the pretense should be stripped off.

At this moment, Black Mane felt something softly rubbing against his front leg, turned his head and saw, oh, it turned out to be the youngest red streamer.

With a face full of shame and gratitude, the red ribbon licked its legs reverently, then turned around slowly, lowered its head, and buried its face in the grass.Black Mane's heart is warm, and it feels that although Red Ribbon's feelings are reserved and restrained, they are sincere and credible.

Shame and gratitude aptly reveal the truth of the tragedy.The reason why its black hyena is going to be killed and eaten alive by hyenas is because of the burden of the four brothers. If they have a little conscience, they should be ashamed; Isn't it worthy of their heartfelt gratitude to use your precious life as their paving stone?

The red streamer gently licked its front legs, expressing its reluctance to say goodbye, then turned around and buried its face in the grass, indicating that it could not bear to see it being torn apart, and could not bear to see the tragedy of cannibalism scene.In this world, although there are villains, evil and hypocrisy, there are also loyalty, kindness and sincerity. Looking at the red ribbon, the black mane really got some relief in his heart.If it has the right to dispose of its own body like an inheritance, it will leave the most delicious internal organs to the red streamer, and give the scarface and peach eyes the four toughest paws.

It's getting late, and if we continue to dawdle, the cunning hyenas might come up with some vicious methods to deal with them again.

The black mane stretches its blood-covered neck into the mouth of the big-headed lion. The big-headed lion was born a few days earlier than Scarface, Peach Blossom Eyes, and Red Ribbon. It is the eldest of the four brothers, and it should be given to it Go to the Paradise of Paradise, so that after it leaves, the big-headed lion can take its place logically and become the leader of the four surviving half-big male lions.

The big lion pushed its neck away with a kiss in fear, and took a step back involuntarily.

——Don't be embarrassed, bite, bite, I voluntarily let you bite, even if I go to the underworld, I will never sue you for murder!
The black mane sent the bleeding neck into the lion's mouth again. The lion stuck out its tongue and licked back and forth between its neck. One lick, two licks and three licks, it was not enough, as if it didn't want to Instead of a fatal bite, it is a comfortable massage, healing its wounds with its tongue.

The big lion's eyes are crystal clear, and his expression is focused, as if he wants to lick out a deep affection and a fiery feeling.Black Mane knows in his heart that the big lion licking its neck like this is definitely not hypocritical hospitality, nor is it a waste of time for no reason, but to minimize its fear before dying and let it massage in a warm intoxicated, and then snapped off its neck with a lightning bolt, reducing the pain of its death.

It seems that I was a little wrong to blame the big lion just now, Black Mane thought, although the big lion is a bit hypocritical, but its heart is not bad, if it is not forced to a corner, it will never use it as food to satisfy its hunger.

The lion licked its neck back and forth more and more frequently, and its movements became more and more gentle. It knew that this meant that the last moment was approaching.If it is a person, and unfortunately is a poet, it is inevitable to recite such a poem at this time: After death, I will feel that everything is empty, but the sad hyena barks fiercely, the lion dominates the grassland day, and don't forget to tell the black hyena when you worship.It's a pity that it's just a lion, with no higher education, neither poetic nor literary talent, so it can't have a final flair.It just looked at the four half-big lions around it with infinitely nostalgic eyes.

The big lion's mouth was suddenly closed, and its squatting body fell down heavily.Black Mane only felt that his breath was suddenly and roughly deprived, his eyes went dark, and his body fell down like a dead tree.

They were so hungry that after a while, only a head, a tail, four paws and a white skeleton remained of the black mane.To be fair, they all gnawed on the black mane with guilt and gratitude. Although they were killed and eaten alive, they did not taste delicious. Food, not to mention any enjoyment, is nothing more than stuffing something into the stomach so as not to starve to death.

Soon, their empty bellies bulged.

They looked up from the wreckage of the black mane and looked at each other with stern, deep eyes.No one thought that after being kicked out of their homes and becoming homeless, the first meal they ate would be black mane.God bless, I hope this cannibalism is the first and last time, this is their common wish.

Although the taste is not good, after all, what is swallowed is fresh meat and nutrient-rich blood plasma, just like dry seedlings rejoicing in the rain, gasoline is poured into the engine that is about to stop, and a bundle of dried meat is added to the dying firepit. Chai, the exhausted bodies of the four and a half male lions became strong again, their limp limbs regained their toughness, their dull eyes soon became bright, and even their hoarse roars became normal, mellow and sonorous, vomit—vomit— - Full of powerful melody and youthful rhyme.

They were saved, they were resurrected from the dead, and their fire of life was blazing vigorously.

When they buried their heads in the black mane, the hyenas smelled the sweet smell of blood, and came to the back of the four and a half male lions only ten or twenty steps away, vomiting and groaning, trying to get a share of the pie.The four half-big lions were eating nervously and had no time to take care of the hyenas. Now, their stomachs are full, their strength has recovered, they are full of energy, and their fighting spirit is high.

The big lion took the lead, and the four half-big lions suddenly turned around, let out a majestic roar in unison, and rushed towards the hateful hyena from four directions: east, west, north, south.Immediately, the hyenas ran away like desperate dogs with their tails between their legs, and soon disappeared without a trace.

They are awakening lions, full lions, and male lions. They are the future kings of the prairie. How can the tiny hyenas be their opponents!
It is dawn, the fiery red sun is rising, and a new day in the African grasslands has begun.

Big-headed lion, scar-faced, peach-blossom eyes and red streamer gave Black Mane one last apologetic look, left the sugar palm tree, and walked towards the vast Lolian prairie.They don't know where they are going, and they don't know whether the future is bad or good or bad, but one thing is for sure, they are still young, no matter how many ups and downs and tribulations are waiting for them, they must try to survive .

Being alive is more important than anything else.
