Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 424 Mother's Love
"Are you kidding me? Animals shed tears... probably eye feces," Liu Junhao joked with a smile.He had heard about animals crying before, but he always thought it was a bit mysterious.Just like the "crocodile's tears", people used to think that it had a heart of compassion and couldn't bear to eat its prey, but it turned out to be the secretion of lacrimal glands of animals.

"Look carefully." Seeing that her husband was so nervous, Zhang Qian pinched him angrily.

"Okay, okay..." Liu Junhao dodged his wife's hand, turned his head to look over, and immediately stood there stupidly.

Really tears... This grass leopard's eyes are very complicated, almost no different from human beings.Could it be that after being raised in the stone lock for a period of time, the IQ has improved and the relationship has become more complicated?
"Ah...husband, quickly untie the rope on its legs, hurry up...look under its body!" Zhang Qian suddenly exclaimed again.

On the clouded leopard's dirty, blood-stained belly, a few slightly swollen breasts came into view!This clouded leopard should have a group of cubs, and those cubs haven't been weaned yet.

No wonder I thought I could understand its eyes just now, this is the tacit understanding of being both mothers.In this regard, there is no difference between animal and human maternal love.

It must be in a hurry to go back and feed a few little ones who are waiting to be fed, so it struggled to leave, but in the eyes of the two of them, it became crazy!
Last night, the lights were black and white, and Liu Junhao was a little angry, so he didn't take a closer look.Feelings, the grass leopard is breastfeeding, no wonder it is so fierce.

He remembered reading a sentence before, no matter how timid an animal is, it will become brave when it protects its children.Just like the hens in the yard, they usually look away immediately when they see the yellow spots, but when they are brooding, they dare to chase the dogs all over the yard and peck at them.

Zhang Qian didn't want to delay any longer, and didn't care that the clouded leopard might jump up and hurt people, so she cut the rope with a knife.Almost instantly, the clouded leopard jumped up from the ground and fled staggeringly towards the yard.

"Xiaopi!" Liu Junhao was taken aback, followed by a shout, and pointed his finger.

Receiving the master's order, the macula pounced on it again and held the grass leopard under him.This time, Xiaopi's teeth were pressed against the opponent's neck, making it impossible for him to fight back.

"Honey, what are you doing, let it go quickly?" Zhang Qian called out anxiously.

"Don't panic, don't panic, wait until I get the iron cage." Liu Junhao didn't explain to his wife, turned around and took out the iron cage in the stairwell, and then stuffed the clouded leopard into it.

The cage was nearly half a meter high, but it was too small to hold the clouded leopard.The guy became even more irritable after he was put in the cage. He bared his teeth and roared at them.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Seeing her husband grabbing Yunbao again, Zhang Qian's face was quite ugly.

"I'm trying to save it...Look here." Liu Junhao pointed to the side of the clouded leopard with his finger, "It must have been injured in a fight with some animal on the mountain, and maybe its ribs were injured. Now put it back in the mountain, what do you think?" Can it survive? Let’s wait until its injuries heal.”

"What about those leopard cubs? They are still breastfeeding. If they are separated from the protection of their mother's clouded leopard, they will definitely starve to death or be eaten by other animals." Zhang Qian felt that what her husband said made sense, and then began to worry again.

"It's a simple question, just bring them to our house to raise..." To save people to the end and send Buddha to the west, since I decided to save this clouded leopard, I naturally want to bring those little guys back.

While speaking, Professor Zhao walked into the courtyard. He was also very surprised to see this clouded leopard, and even said that he would go to the mountain immediately to find some leopard cubs.Now the mother clouded leopard has been separated from the child for seven or eight hours, and accidents are prone to happen.

So Liu Junhao didn't eat any food, and set off directly with Xiaopi.

In late autumn, the Daqing Mountain is a bit more forbidding, and the north wind blows through the bare branches, making whining sounds from time to time.Roadsides, fields, and distant forests are all covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost.

The sun hadn't come out yet, and there was a fog everywhere, except for the whimpering of the wind and the chirping of birds, it seemed that the surroundings were still sleeping in silence.

When the clouded leopard came down the mountain, it carried a trail of blood with a strong smell, so it was very easy for Xiaopi to track it.They traveled very fast, and they got into the depths of the mountain forest in less than half an hour.

This grass leopard usually moves around the outskirts of Daqing Mountain. Liu Junhao originally thought that its lair must be nearby, but he didn't know that the trail stretched straight into the mountains.

Xiaopi searched for nearly two hours, but still couldn't find the clouded leopard's lair.But seeing the bloodstains flashing in the grass from time to time, Liu Junhao knew that there was nothing wrong with this route.

In fact, he was very curious about what kind of animal hurt the clouded leopard. You must know that there are no large beasts in Daqingshan.Several clouded leopards have already stood at the top of the food chain, and there should be no other animals that can be their opponents except humans.

Just as he was thinking, Xiaopi's body suddenly bowed, and his limbs subconsciously bent slightly.Liu Junhao is very familiar with this posture and knows that he is close to the target.

He sniffed his nose a few times, and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood in the forest.Something was wrong, Liu Junhao hurriedly pulled out the knife from his waist and laid it across his chest.

After waiting for 2 minutes and seeing that there was no movement, he got up his courage and took two steps towards the bushes with his knife in hand.

I saw a wild boar lying beside a dead tree not far away, which should weigh hundreds of catties.I didn't expect that there would be wild boars here... There was a large puddle of dried blood under his head.Look at this, it is estimated that the time of death is not short.

Only then did Liu Junhao relax, and led Xiaopi to check.The wild boar's body was already stiff, and there were several sharp deep holes in its neck, which should have been left by the grass leopard's canines.

I remember reading online that clouded leopards mainly feed on small mammals such as mice, hares, and deer, and sometimes steal poultry such as chickens and ducks, but they dare not harm large animals such as wild boars, cows, and horses.

The female clouded leopard didn't know whether she was crazy or what, she wanted to hunt wild boars.Although he won in the end, the price was very heavy and he almost lost half his life.

"Woof..." At this moment, Xiaopi began to howl, obviously discovering something.

Liu Junhao walked over quickly, followed by his eyes widening.

He finally found the reason why the clouded leopard was fighting with the wild boar. He felt that under the dead tree was the habitat of the clouded leopard when it gave birth.

The huge tree root twists and turns to form a large hole on the table, and the tree root is covered with sparse wormwood, which can be used as a cave.

It should be that the wild boar found the leopard cub and wanted to eat it while looking for food, but the mother clouded leopard noticed it, which caused a fight.

The little guys in the tree hole hadn't eaten for several hours, and they were probably starving.When they heard the movement outside, they immediately became fussy, making crisp howling noises.

Liu Junhao didn't stay here any longer, and hurriedly put away a few cubs in a basket, then threw the stiff wild boar into the stone lock, and led Huangbanpi down the mountain quickly.

When going back, they traveled in a straight line, and it took them only an hour to get out of the mountain.

Liu Junhao saw that there was no one around, so he got into the stone lock to resist the wild boar, and walked towards the house swaggeringly.

A few tourists came to his house to buy eels after breakfast, and they were a little surprised to see clouded leopards.When they returned to the village to publicize, most tourists knew about it.

After a while, half of the people surrounded the yard.

When Liu Junhao brought back a few leopard cubs, the crowd caused another commotion.No one paid attention to the dead wild boar... They just thought it was Liu Junhao hunting it up the mountain.

Smelling the cub's scent, the mother clouded leopard became even more agitated, and bit the steel bar with her mouth wide open, making a clicking sound.

It wasn't until now that the tourists realized that this guy was not easy to mess with.

Liu Junhao got some reed leaves and made a nest in the stairwell, and then put a few leopard cubs in it.As soon as the iron cage was opened, the mother clouded leopard couldn't wait to rush in.

The tourists were amazed and wanted to get a closer look.But before they got close, the mother clouded leopard suddenly sprang up and guarded the door of the stairwell.Look at that, if anyone dares to move forward, it will definitely rush up and bite.

Fearing that this guy would get angry, Liu Junhao had no choice but to let the tourists leave temporarily, saying that it would not be too late to come and watch after they were raised.

After the Cao Baozi's family was settled, he realized that he hadn't eaten his breakfast yet, so he went into the kitchen and made a fuss about it.

After eating, Liu Junhao chopped up a large piece of wild boar and threw it into the stairwell.This clouded leopard hasn't eaten since last night, so it's probably starving.

Throughout the day, Clouded Leopard was firmly guarding the stairs, not giving anyone a chance to get close.

Zhang Qian originally wanted to apply some medicine to its wound, but seeing the situation, she had no choice but to give up.

I thought that the space in the stairwell was closed, and Yunbao would feel safe staying in it, but who knew that when Zhang Qian woke up the next morning, she found it was empty.

She immediately shouted anxiously, "Husband, all the clouded leopards are gone, not even the little leopard cubs!"

No way... Liu Junhao ran out of the kitchen in a panic, forgetting to put down the kitchen knife in his hand.The reed leaves piled up in the stairwell are still there, but the clouded leopard and a few little guys are gone...

Could it be that they sneaked away along the water channel hole?Liu Junhao subconsciously ran to the courtyard wall.The little ones are only slightly bigger than cat cubs, so they can escape from here.As for the mother clouded leopard, she is very good at climbing trees, and the courtyard wall can't trap it. "It really ran out, and Xiaopi didn't make a fuss last night." Liu Junhao looked around, but found no trace. "Can they survive back in the mountains?" Zhang Qian asked worriedly, frowning slightly.

Several little ones can't hunt independently, and the wound on the mother clouded leopard hasn't healed yet.Under harsh natural conditions, their chances of surviving are slim.

"It should be all right." Liu Junhao was about to call Xiaopi to find the clouded leopard.Who knew that the two macular skins ran out of the yard early in the morning.I don't know where it is at the moment, it's not supposed to be at all.
