Lions Major League

Thain's injury was serious. Although the blood on his stomach had stopped, it was still oozing out a little. Some inflamed and rotten muscle tissue could be vaguely seen inside. Its claws were hooked, as if it was trying its best to make itself move a few times. .

"Life is so great." Axius couldn't help being a little surprised.

Thain was still not sober, but he could vaguely hear a few words. He raised the tip of his tail in a hurry, indicating that he was still alive and could continue to save him.

Aide didn't expect that he was the only one who hadn't been called "brother". He put down Thain angrily, flicked his tail and went to rest on the other side. Tired for a long time, he panted and stuck out his tongue He licked his paw.

With the scorching sun hanging high, there were very few prey on the grassland, and all the grass stalks were withered and yellow. These grass stalks could not even cover the lion's figure, which also caused some difficulties for them to hunt.

Their hunting success rate has also dropped a lot.

"Let's rest for two more days." Asius looked around and said decisively: "There are at least herds of elephants and bison here. There is no prey left."

During the dry season, many parts of the grassland are almost barren, and the predators leave one after another to find new places where they can hunt.

The half-dead lion lying on the ground managed to open its eyes a little. It took a hard look, subconsciously shrugged its nose and sniffed, and then tried to struggle to get up, but in fact it only moved its paws a little bit twice.

This or two also attracted Aide's attention, and it snorted coldly: "I get angry when I see it."

The hyena not far away was the same as before, barking strangely, following the lion to eat some leftovers, but it was more likely that they took a fancy to the seriously injured lion being dragged by the three lions.

They waited for Sion to die before they could have a full meal.

Aed growled impatiently, stood up and walked towards the direction of the hyena. Eusta and Asius just glanced at it for a while, and then lay down on the spot without moving.

Their tails slap their bodies slightly to drive away the flies next to them. Occasionally they stick out their tongues and lick their paws, lying down to rest on the ground. In this season, they will try not to move as much as possible to maintain their strength.

"Why didn't Thain call Aed brother?" Usta asked in a low voice when he saw Aed walked away.

"You shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask Saisen." Asius replied with his eyes closed.

Everyone knows that Thain listens to Saison the most, and the answer to things like this basically lies with Saison in the end.

On the other side, because Qiao Yi was injured, Ah Xing didn't let him hunt anymore, just as before, Moore and Qiao Yi patrolled the surroundings together to prevent other lions, while Ah Xing went hunting.

It basically chooses bison. Apart from bison, it is difficult to find other prey. Antelopes are almost invisible. If you run further, you will inevitably encounter lions from other territories. , Ah Xing doesn't care, but it has no interest in fighting now.

Its whole lion looked a little depressed and heavy, and it looked preoccupied when it slept at night, licking its paws and sleeping on its stomach.

"You can really try the method I told you yesterday." Moore walked with Qiao Yi, and the two little lions followed one after the other. Moore whispered: "What do you want to know?" , I don’t know a lot, you have to ask Ah Xing yourself.”

"What kind of bad idea is that?" Qiao Yi sighed deeply: "Let me pretend to be dying, and then make a request to it. Is there still a last wish?"

"Huh?" Moore probably didn't understand the meaning of "last wish". He tilted his furry head and moved his ears slightly before saying, "Do you think this method is not good?"

"Tell me, it was rumored that Ah Xing was maimed by Aide of the northern lion group. Is this also your bad idea?" Qiao Yi sighed deeply again, and he felt Moore's idea. There is an extremely familiar sense of sight, just a flash of inspiration, and then suddenly remembered the rumors that almost fooled me back before.

Moore stopped in his tracks. He shook his head and said, "It's really not me. This is the idea of ​​Asius, but Ah Xing thought it was feasible, so he did it."

Based on Qiao Yi's understanding of A Xing, it couldn't think of such a bad move on its own. It is not such a lion.

"Then you heard this rumor, why didn't you come back?" Moore asked.

Qiao Yi looked at Moore suspiciously, he stuck out his tongue and licked his face, and then said helplessly: "Didn't you find anything wrong with this rumor? But whoever said it was injured by Asius, I would believe half the point, but it turned out that I was injured by Aide... This is outrageous."

When the two male lions were talking, they got closer and didn't notice a golden-maned lion coming from the bushes with a young bison in its mouth.

Ah Xing could have gone straight back to the resting place, but it walked stiffly, circled around, passed by Moore, put the little bison down, and said, "Mole, take the bison back."

Moore looked puzzled, but obediently picked up the bison and walked back. When Qiao Yi saw this and was about to follow, he heard Ah Xing growled irritably from behind. The two cubs were already afraid of it , At this moment, his legs are weak and he dare not run.

Lion cubs have hunting instincts, but they dare not face such a powerful male lion. They can only lie on the ground with the tip of their tail trembling slightly.

Qiao Yi turned his head to look at Ah Xing, and said after a while, "Are you injured?"

Ah Xing turned his head and didn't answer Qiao Yi's words, but turned his body slightly. From this angle, Qiao Yi could just see that the wound on its back was a little cracked, probably because it was too fast and too wide when hunting. , This caused the wound that was about to heal to open again.

Qiao Yi walked over hesitantly, and when Moore's words sounded, he flicked the lion's mane lightly, and tentatively licked the wound on Ah Xing's back lightly. His movements were very cautious, but Fan Ah Xing showed a little Disgusted, he would stop immediately, but Ah Xing didn't.

The male lion's tongue is slightly rough, and it hurts a little when it licks the wound, but this little pain is hardly felt by Ah Xing. It just turns its head and looks at Qiao Yi, just staring until Qiao Yi was a little uncomfortable.

When he was about to retreat, he found Ah Xing came over, licked Qiao Yi's body lightly, then rubbed Qiao Yi with his lion's mane, sniffed Qiao Yi's breath, and gently rubbed his body against him.

Qiao Yi: ...

He felt a little wanting to retreat, but he also knew that in the habit of male lions, rubbing against each other with other male lions is a relatively intimate way of "socializing", usually in the same lion group, but sometimes , also represents this level of intimacy, which may not be just a companionship.

For a while, Qiao Yi was a little uncertain about Ah Xing's meaning, so he had to take advantage of Ah Xing's rubbing against him to look at A Xing's neck under the lion's mane, but Ah Xing's lion's mane was very thick and blocked it tightly, even if they Being so close, I can't tell if there are wounds or other marks on the other party's neck.

"So what were you chatting with Moore before? Why did you spend much more time chatting with it than with me?" A Xing's tone was a little puzzled, and he even flicked his tail a little irritably.

"Talking..." Qiao Yi's words reached his throat, but he finally swallowed them back, and then said, "Talking about Moore's childhood."

"Why are you talking about it when it was a child? Why are you paying so much attention to it? Why didn't you ask me?" Ah Xing's tone suddenly became a little strange.

"We have other things to talk about. I want to ask you, but will you tell me?" Qiao Yi asked.

When he asked this question, he almost lured Ah Xing into a trap, just like he used toys to lure the lion cub out of the bushes in order to get him to drink milk.

Every time the little lion will be fooled, after all, it has too much hatred for that toy.

"...You didn't ask me, you asked me, so I told you." Ah Xing replied reluctantly.

Qiao Yi couldn't help but smile a little, he glanced at the two slowly moving little lions out of the corner of his eye, and after relaxing a little, he said, "Then what did you look like when you were young? "

There was a little wind on the grassland, and the dead grass shook a little. Two male lions were lying on the ground, very close to each other. Not far from them, Moore stretched out his tongue and licked his paws. After flicking the lion's mane twice, he Watching the two little lion cubs moving from the grass to their side little by little.

I don't know who I learned it from, but it is true that this escape technique is clumsy but easy to use.

When Qiao Yi first met the lion cub, it was a battle between the lions. The cub was seriously injured and was almost killed. When the rescuers found it, the cub was already dying. He thought he was dead. When Yi passed by it, the raised paw of the lion cub caught Qiao Yi's shoe.

At that time, it made a weak but clear cry for help, screaming in a low voice, which made people feel a little sad.

When taking it back, the wound on its neck was cleaned and sutured. The bones showed signs of fracture, and treatment was also carried out. The little lion was seriously injured. To do his best, Qiao Yi was mainly watching it during that time.

Several times in a row, the little lion's condition took a turn for the worse, but he managed to get over it in the end. However, because the injury was too severe and the recovery period was very long, Qiao Yi had to train it in various bites, and even through various methods , keep it wild.

The little lion is very dependent on Qiao Yi, even to the point of being extremely clingy, but he hates other things very much. As long as it is close to Qiao Yi, it hates it.

At first Qiao Yi didn't take it seriously, until one time he gave the little plush toy to the little lion to play with, the little lion mistakenly thought it was a new companion brought by Qiao Yi, and lied in the grass in anger and refused to come out. Helpless, I just turned around and took something. When I came back, the plush toy had been torn to pieces.

So that every time the little lion hid alone in the bushes or in the hole, as long as Qiao Yi threw the toy into it, it would immediately rush at that toy with extreme anger, as if it had a bloody feud with this plush toy.

"When I was a child, there was a very nasty monster, it couldn't talk, it couldn't move, but I hated it very much, it wouldn't die, no matter how I tore it up, it would come back to life, so I just saw it Once, kill it once." When talking about this, Ah Xing's tail swayed violently from side to side uncontrollably, and he growled lowly: "If it were now, I would eat it."

Qiao Yi: ...

He thought, if Ah Xing is really a little lion, then this monster is probably a plush toy, which is not edible.

The truth is approaching step by step, Qiao Yi asked: "Then you met the one-eyed lion before? You... hate it? Why?"

"Because it's the same as that monster, and because of it, I was thrown away." Ah Xing seemed unwilling to mention this matter again, it got up and moved a little to the side, with its tail facing Qiao Yi, and gently slapped the tail of its tail. At that moment, the tail landed on Qiao Yi's body. It didn't hurt, and even felt a little funny.

Qiao Yi sighed softly, and he asked, "Why do you feel like you've been lost?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. I was lost. Qiao Yi, what were you thinking when you asked this question?" Ah Xing turned his head to look at Qiao Yi again. Looking at Qiao Yi, she seemed to be observing the slightest change on his face.

"I was thinking, you thought I had a familiar aura before, but then you said, I want to get rid of you too..." The words have reached this point, and they are almost following Qiao Yi's train of thought, moving toward him bit by bit. The direction he wanted led, but at this moment Qiao Yi felt a little helpless, he sighed and said, "Do you think I'm the...human being who lost you before?"

The appearance of the word "human" made Ah Xing a little stunned. After all, even it was too young at that time, and it didn't know how to hold it every day. When it was injured, it would bandage its wounds and often gently Those who whisper something that it doesn't understand are human beings, and it only knows that the other party is different from itself.

Until the one-eyed lion told it a few days ago that it was a human being, and human beings love the new and dislike the old.

Qiao Yi's heart was pounding, he was looking forward, waiting, waiting for Ah Xing's answer.

An almost decrypted answer was in front of him, waiting for A Xing's confirmation. Back then, his colleague told him sadly that the little lion had died. When he heard the news, he was stunned.

The location is his choice, but there is no problem with that location. He never thought that the little lion would encounter a fight between two lion prides. He almost endured the pain to watch the video files, the lion pride The battle was extremely fierce, and there was a clear low roar from inside, and every lion roar seemed to tear Qiao Yi's nerves.

Until later, he heard a thin, weak, and even immature roar from inside, and Qiao Yi's mentality suddenly collapsed. He knew too well that this roar belonged to his little lion, absolutely.

Back then, within a year and a half, he lost his parents, grandparents, and elder brother one after another.

He avoided the pain and raised the little lion, which was like a kind of spiritual sustenance. He felt that saving the little lion was like snatching back a life that could stay with him from the hand of death.

But the little lion was still dead. When he heard the low growl, his tears couldn't hold back, and he couldn't continue to look down. Later, he realized that the little lion was so injured that he couldn't see it. Really... the corpse couldn't be seen. up.

At that time, Qiao Yiben had already reached the critical point and collapsed suddenly.

Now he seems to have returned to that time standing in front of the video, waiting for the last answer, but at that time he was evasive and desperate, this time he was indeed full of hope, waiting for Ah Xing's answer.

"En." Ah Xing licked his paw, his voice was slightly cold.

Qiao Yi's heart suddenly boomed, like a huge wooden stick hitting his heart hard, he was slightly suffocated for breathing, and then his limbs that had been tense all the time suddenly relaxed, so weak and weak that he couldn't exert his strength.

He could only keep looking at Ah Xing, waiting for the other party's next words.

Ah Xing licked his paw, and it just said, "At first I thought you were the same as me, but then I realized that you are it."

"Since when did you feel that I am him?" Qiao Yi asked with a trembling voice.

"Compared to your appearance, I trust my sense of smell more, and Asius attacked me, but you left and took the opportunity to lose me. For the sake of those two cubs, you don't want me... This is what you can do You can figure it out." Ah Xing sneered, it shook its lion's mane, got up and was about to leave alone, then seemed to think of something, turned its head to look at Qiao Yi, it said: "Qiao Yi, I think clearly You can't run away until I die, and if I die, I'll kill you first."

It licked the blood on its face, turned its head and walked in another direction.

Qiao Yi sighed in a low voice. He felt a little uneasy. He was basically sure that A-Xing was the little lion. Its instruments fell off.

And how did it survive from the grassland, grow into a ferocious lion, and how did it develop its current personality... Qiao Yi didn't know anything about it, but now that he asked again, probably Ah Well done.

Qiao Yi suddenly had a headache. Now that Ah Xing believed that he was abandoned by Qiao Yi, how could he explain to a male lion that it was not abandonment, but a release strategy implemented to meet the release standards.

He remembered that before the release, the lion cub was lying in his arms. He personally injected the anesthetic and put the cub in the cage where the lion was released. The other party's little paws always liked to put the tip of their claws away, but that time, it was dead. Hooking Qiao Yi's clothes, it was like hooking his shoes for help when meeting him for the first time, and made a weak voice.

The little lion's eyes were half closed, but he kept staring at Qiao Yi, until finally Qiao Yi pulled its paw away, and it let out a low growl of despair.

"Sigh." Qiao Yi lay on the ground, flicking his tail lightly. Back then, he never thought that he would be hated by a lion.

But the joy far outweighed the worries.

That night, Qiao Yi lay down not far from Ah Xing and looked at it. Seeing the little lion he rescued grow into what it is now, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of pride, even a little proud.

Such a majestic lion is the life he snatched back from the hand of death.

"You've been staring at Ah Xing all night..." Moore sighed, and it said: "What did you talk about, don't you need to sleep at night?"

"We talked about a big event about the birth of a lion." Qiao Yi was deeply moved, and then immediately said: "Ah Xing is four years old, right? Four years old, according to the age of a male lion, he is also an adult. Hasn't he had a lioness pride?"

"No." Moore replied: "It is more persistent in the territory, and not very interested in the lioness group."

Thinking of this, Qiao Yi couldn't help but think of the previous rumors about Saisen. Saisen didn't have a lioness pride when he was six years old. It was said that it was because he didn't lift. Naturally, the lionesses would also consider this factor. Thinking of this, Joe Yi became worried...

Is it...

Ah Xing...

He shook the lion's mane, trying to suppress this thought. He remembered that Ah Xing had no problems when he was a child. Could it be that something tragic happened in the past few years?

"Moore." Qiao Yi suddenly said earnestly, "Why don't you have a pride of lionesses?"

Moore glanced at Qiao Yi inexplicably, and he tilted his head and said, "Is it because I don't want what you said? Ah Xing doesn't allow any lions in the territory at all, neither male nor female, except you and me."
