MTL - Warm Fuzzies-Chapter 29
Young tiger cubs do not yet have the ability to live on their own.
Even if the animals in the fairyland are not enlightened, they will grow and age much slower than ordinary animals. At first glance, these two little tigers seem to be not much older than cats. After losing their mother all of a sudden, even in the fairyland, they will become very difficult life.
The small animals in the forest all have a heart of compassion, so naturally they can't bear to see their motherless cubs wandering outside, but where to place such a small tiger cub has become a problem.
Seeing that the little animals wanted to take care of them, Xueli seemed to have concerns and dared not make up her mind. After thinking about it, she said, "Why don't you keep them with me first. Although these two little tigers are still You are young, but you are a ferocious beast after all, and your animals that are too small will definitely be inconvenient. I can transform into a human body, and it should be much better no matter what."
Bai Lu worried: "But aren't you already taking care of the big snow wolf? It will definitely be very difficult if you bring two more cubs back."
"The big snow wolf's injury has gone through the most difficult time. I just need to change the dressing regularly. These two little tigers are not big yet, as long as they think of a way, they will definitely be able to solve it."
As she said that, Xueli glanced at Xuelang beside her, and said, "And Xuelang is bigger, we are two people, if necessary, he can also help me."
The question of accommodation is indeed difficult.
Small animals like rabbits live in the holes they make, tigers cannot fit in, and monkeys live in trees. It's no problem to keep two tigers in the little deer's den, but she is a deer that has no claws and can only rely on pedaling. If something happens, it may be very difficult to control the two little tigers.
It seems that Sydney is the most suitable place to live in.
Sydney was right, but the little animals still felt sorry and looked at each other in blank dismay.
At this time, a little rabbit raised its paw and suggested: "It's too bad to keep Xueli alone all the time, why don't we take care of these two little tigers together! We can take turns to bring them food, help They take a bath or something."
As soon as the rabbit's proposal came out, the little animals all showed a sudden look of light. After thinking about it, they all agreed and expressed their willingness to contribute.
"In this way, Sydney only needs to let the little tigers live!"
"No more trying to find something for the little tiger to eat!"
Everyone cheered up and discussed.
This can indeed reduce Sydney's burden a lot.
"thank you all."
Xueli said gratefully: "Then these two cubs will stay with me temporarily. When they grow up a bit, we can consider finding a cave or a nest for them nearby."
Everyone agrees with Sydney's idea.
And so things settled down.
Xue Li looked at the cubs crying on the side of the mound, and said, "Let them stay with their mother for a while longer today. I will go home and prepare something for them to sleep in, and I will pick them up at dusk."
"Then I'll go back and see if there's anything I can give the little tiger to eat!"
"I'm here with them in case they get uncomfortable or run away."
The small animals divided the tasks in a few words. When everyone had no objections, Sydney waved goodbye to the small animals and walked home.
Zi Lan didn't quite know what they had discussed, but he probably guessed that they had reached a consensus. Seeing Xue Li leave at this time, he no longer missed her, and followed silently.
The two returned home shortly after.
Zi Lan could see that although Xue Li tried her best to act calm, she was not in a very good mood.
He wanted to get closer to Xueli to guess the situation, but as soon as he entered the cabin, Xueli suddenly turned back into a little nine-tailed fox, and then plunged into his fur!
"Aww!"
This time was different from last night. Zilan could clearly feel that Sydney's mood was different from last night. She was actually very sad and sad, but she didn't show it because she was afraid of affecting other people when she was outside.
Zilan was standing right now, and Xue Li actually stuck her head into his leg. He thought for a while, then lay down silently, and hugged Xue Li into his arms.
Xue Li didn't resist this time, and buried herself in the fur, a small piece of hair in front of Big Snow Wolf's body was quickly moistened by her tears.
"I couldn't get it back," Sydney said.
"The two cubs are still so young. They must be very sad without their mother."
"It would be great if my medical skills were more superb and I could bring the dead back to life. If my cultivation base was better, I could sense thunderstorms in advance and find that they were still outside."
Zilan listened to Xue Li crying in her arms, and even though she didn't understand her language, she could roughly guess what she was thinking.
Xue Li is the only serious fairy in the fairyland, and it is a very heavy thing to bear the responsibility of the whole fairyland.
Sometimes it is obvious that you have tried your best to do a good job, but the final result is not satisfactory.
Some things are limited in what one can do. Sydney has done a good job, she has achieved a cultivation level that is rare at her age, and has superb medical skills, it is not her fault that she cannot be brought back to life.
Not only Sydney, but even a wolf king with a good cultivation base and more experience may not be able to be perfect at this time.
But precisely because of the heavy responsibility and the expected ability, in the face of the unpredictable fate, I feel more and more small and powerless in the face of the life and death of the world.
Zilan has seen the same silent expression on the faces of his parents more than once, and because he knows everything, he also feels the same way.
What they can do now is to try their best to deal with the follow-up work, learn from experience, do their best to obey the destiny, and strive to save more people next time.
Zilan lowered her head, looked at the little white fox who was buried and curled up beside him, and silently leaned her head to comfort her.
Xueli buried herself completely in the thick and fluffy fur of the big snow wolf, choking with "wow".
Soon, she felt that the big snow wolf lowered his head, put his forehead on her back, and touched her lightly.
Xueli herself didn't know what was going on, some things that were difficult to say to others, she said them to Big Snow Wolf unconsciously.
It may be because she knows that Snow Wolf cannot understand her language, or it may be because Snow Wolf will comfort her no matter what.
Xue Li didn't expect much at first, but it was strange to say that she actually felt that Snow Wolf seemed to really understand her thoughts.
His movements were very gentle, and he was more careful than usual when he circled her.
Xueli raised her head, just in time to meet the big snow wolf's deep wolf eyes staring at her, the eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Sydney felt a sense of embarrassment being seen through, but she felt relieved that someone could accompany her and understand her at this time. She had almost cried enough, put away her tears, went up and gently licked the face of Big Snow Wolf, and thanked her Said: "Thank you."
Zilan felt the little nine-tailed fox lick his cheeks twice, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
He looked over in surprise, only to see that the little Nine-Tailed Fox had already wiped away the red eye sockets.
Xue Li said: "It's almost there. I'll go see if there is any fabric I can use to make two more nests. Those two little tigers are still waiting in the forest!"
…
Sydney spent a little time in the afternoon, found some unused fabrics from home, and piled up two new nests.
The big house was already crowded after the snow wolf lived in it, so Xue Li had to try to make the space as compact as possible, and moved some herbal medicine books and other things into her own room, and then managed to fill in two small tiger dens.
The two cubs were picked up from the forest soon after.
At first, the cubs were not used to the life away from their mother, and would often go to the forest to see where their mother was buried. It took about a month or so before they gradually recovered from the shadow of losing their mother and regained a lively and cheerful life. Looks like, and will play around.
From then on, the personalities of the two little tigers were gradually revealed.
These two tiger cubs were born three years ago. If they were in the mortal world, they would be old enough to be independent, but because they were born in a fairyland and influenced by the fairy spirit, they still look and behave very young now.
They are actually a pair of siblings.
The elder brother is thick-headed and thick-headed, a bit stronger than the younger sister, and very lively. It can often be seen running around in the yard quickly, practicing howling "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" , Then he overturned the box, and he was locked inside, unable to get out "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The younger sister is smaller than her elder brother, but she still has the sense of strength as a tiger, and she is obviously smarter. It knows how to go up and slap the box when his brother is detained, or just bite his tail and pull him out. It seems to know that its voice is still very milky, even if it roars, it can't make a name for itself, so although it is fierce when it should be fierce, it seldom barks shyly, and sometimes it will take the initiative to help Sydney and other animals.
But even if their personalities are slightly different, the two tiger cubs are still very young tigers after all. After moving them into the wooden house, they can often be seen chasing and playing with each other outside the wooden house, pawing each other, and Roll around and bite your own tail.
The small animals in the forest fell in love with these two little tigers after just fulfilling their promise to feed them for a while.
It was just that when deciding what the two cubs would eat at first, there was a little twists and turns.
"By the way, what do these two tigers usually eat? They look so small, so they haven't been weaned yet?"
Bailu looked at the two tiger cubs worriedly, full of worries.
The rabbit said: "Should it be broken? I see that there are scattered fruit cores near the tiger's cave. How about giving them some fruit?"
Sydney said: "It must be broken. My aunt and I went to check up on their family before. They should be given some ordinary food..."
Before Xue Li finished speaking, at this moment, brother Little Tiger, who was walking around the house, accidentally kicked over a wooden box at home.
At this time, the two little tigers had just been brought home. The younger sister was already sleeping in the new den after crying too much, and the older brother was walking around.
When the box was turned over, a large box of plump radishes from Sydney's collection immediately rolled out of it.
Brother Hu was hungry after crying all day, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the carrot immediately.
White Deer: "..."
Little Rabbit: "..."
Sydney: "..."
Xue Li said: "You can put these two tigers with me at ease, I will definitely take good care of them."
