lion heart

Chapter 14 Healing
The running Baixue tripped over the mother jackal hiding in the grass, rolled down on the spot, and disguised herself as a white rock among several rocks.The hyena barks past Snow White.The target of the hyena is not the lion Bai Xue, but the howling and retreating jackals.

The arrival of hyenas does not seem to be for hunting, but only for killing.

Overnight, corpses littered the field, and almost none of the jackals in the Natron Lake swamp were spared.

Although Blacknose fell into the pothole and was deeply stabbed in the buttocks by the warthog's fangs, he was lucky to escape the indiscriminate killing of the hyenas.Black Nose can neither jump out of potholes nor climb out of potholes.Hei Nai had no choice but to lie quietly in the deep pit, waiting for Bai Xue's rescue.Black Nose believes that Baixue will find it, and there will be a way to rescue it, so they go back to the lake beach and swamp together.

After eating and drinking, the hyena retreated swaggeringly.

Bai Xue hated herself, as a lion, when Black Nose was in danger, she was scared by the hyena and hid in the rock.Baixue hates herself, as Heibi's only good friend, she quietly escaped and gave up rescue when Heibi was at a critical moment of life and death.Baixue wandered alone in the bushes at the edge of the Natron Lake swamp that had been ruined by hyena groups, hesitating.

A faint "ah-ah" sound came from the deep pit.Bai Xue jumped up suddenly, and jumped to the edge of the pothole in one fell swoop.Black Nose curled up in a ball at the bottom of the hole, moaning in pain, the wound on his buttocks was still bleeding.Bai Xue snorted excitedly, and circled the pothole, but didn't know how to get close to Black Nose.

Mother Jackal was digging under a rock in the distance.The mother jackal dug the hole and let out the little jackal that she hid last night.

Their mother and child were the only lucky ones who survived the melee.The little jackal was hidden by his mother in the hole dug for him.Mother Jackal was kicked by Bai Xue, her waist was injured, and she couldn't move for a while, so she couldn't participate in the melee.Papa Jackal was not so lucky, he had disappeared and was probably preyed upon by a hyena.

Following Mother Jackal's example, Bai Xue slowly scraped the soil on one side of the hole into the hole, and then jumped into the hole along the slope of the soil layer.Snow White tried to drag it out of the pothole with its long black-nosed tail, but failed.Black Nose is less than one meter long, but Bai Xue is more than two meters long.The pothole that Bai Xue could easily get in and out of, but it was difficult for Black Nose to climb into the sky.In fact, Black Nose is much smaller than Bai Xue everywhere, and usually only the tail is higher than Bai Xue.Baixue tried to hold the black nose in her mouth, dragging the black nose out of the hole like carrying prey, but failed after several attempts.After all, Baixue is not yet an adult, and does not have the strength of an adult lioness, dragging a heavy object, it cannot move and jump.

Bai Xue crouched beside Hei Nose dejectedly, licking the wound that was bubbling again due to several tossings.Snow White is unwilling to give up its only friend and also its only sister.Without the black nose, Bai Xue would not be able to hunt such a delicacy as the hare.Blacknose can always stand on a charred tree stump, or a high rock in search of a crafty rabbit...

Tall rocks... there it is!Now, Bai Xue can treat herself as a solid rock, and let Black Nose step on her to escape from the pit.

Black Nose stepped on the white snow, which was as white as the snow on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, and finally climbed out of the three-meter-deep pothole.But because the cheetah's claws could not retract their sheaths, the black-nosed claws scratched blood-red holes in the snow-white fur.

The mother jackal took the little jackal and limped towards the Nkolong Salt Lake.

Bai Xue accompanied Hei Nai, and followed from a distance.

Enkelong Salt Lake is not far from Natron Salt Lake. It is a small salt lake distributed on the grassland. The lake water contains a lot of mineral salts. In addition to ordinary sodium chloride, there are also mineral salts such as sodium carbonate and magnesium sulfate.If the injured part is immersed in such lake water, it will definitely hurt like fire, but the lake water of Enkelong Lake can play an anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effect, allowing the wound to heal and scab.

The mother jackal took the little jackal and walked towards the lake without hesitation.Before the mother jackal collapsed, the little jackal had already jumped out of the lake.The mother jackal came ashore and carefully licked the cub's inflamed, swollen legs.

The mother jackal squeaked in a low voice, and persuaded the little jackal: Be brave, hold back the pain, soak slowly in the lake water, and the foot injury will heal, and you can go to the stream to find it with your friends. Mushrooms to eat.

Suddenly, mother jackal's cry choked up.The little jackal didn't know that all the little jackals who had rolled and played with him yesterday morning had all died in the mouth of the hyena in the night.

Bai Xue endured the pain and submerged her whole body in the water.When Bai Xue carried the black nose out of the pothole, the black nose rolled down from its body over and over again.Every time, Black Nose would tear off a lot of Baixue's fur during the struggle, and Black Nose's claws would leave small holes in Baixue's body.Now, Bai Xue's wounds were all over her body, painful like a knife.

Black Nose moaned in a low voice "Ah-ah", lifted his injured butt from time to time, left the lake water, and kicked his four legs in the lake water.Sometimes, Black Nose can't stand the pain and will jump to the shore.Bai Xue followed closely to the shore, growled lowly, and rubbed her paws soaked in salt water on Black Nose's buttocks.The black-nosed butt rushed into the lake again as if it was on fire.

Black Nose had no choice but to yell "Ah-ah", resisting the pain, and obediently lowered his butt into the lake water.
