In the protected area of ​​the Arctic, Qiao Qixi and his partner Odis spent a rather leisurely retirement time.

Until the end, Otis didn't suffer from any illness, and just passed away quietly by Qiao Qixi's side on a snowy night.

Otis was most afraid of the heat when he was alive, but Xiong was afraid of the cold when he was old, especially a few months before he left, he was very clingy to Qiao Qixi.

Rolling in the snow or something, that's something you only do when you're young.

In the last winter, I stayed with Qiao Qixi in the log cabin all day, kissing me, I kissing you, so happy.

When Qiao Qixi woke up, he found that Otis lying next to him had already left. Although he was reluctant, he had no regrets.

After all, they have been with each other for so long, so they should be satisfied.

However, since Otis left, he also became unable to cope with life, and he couldn't hold on for a long time.

It was also a snowy night when we left, and it wasn't that long since we were separated from Otis.

That night, Qiao Qixi woke up in the middle of the night, because he had dreamed of Otis, and he suddenly missed Otis very, very much. The emotions that hadn't erupted before Odis's death erupted on this snowy night.

Qiao Qixi was getting old, and her heart couldn't bear the heavy sadness.

Otis probably never imagined in his dreams that the delicate little bear he had guarded all his life passed away in the end crying for himself alone.

It's also a good thing he didn't know, otherwise he should feel very distressed.

As a time traveler, Qiao Qixi thought about what she would look like after death, would there be a next life?

Probably not, after all, having two lives is already a gift from heaven, there should be no third time, and even if there is a third time, if there is no Otis in the new life, then what's the point.

However, Qiao Qixi never thought that whether he has a third life or not is completely up to him.

Just like he was dressed as a polar bear, so caught off guard.

After Alexander's body functions ceased to function, Qiao Qixi didn't know he had passed away because his consciousness was still there.

Just like in a dream, Qiao Qixi knew some things, for example, he will have a third life, and when he wakes up again, he will become a lion on the prairie, and Otis will also be born on this prairie.

If the two parties are destined enough, they may still meet.

???

Is there such a good thing?

Qiao Qixi was confused. She couldn't figure out that she missed Otis so much that she was so schizophrenic that she fabricated illusions to comfort herself.

Because it would be unbelievable if it was true, but think about it, I tried it once before, changing from a human to a polar bear.

So it doesn't seem strange to become a lion now?

In Qiao Qixi's "knowing" content, Otis is literally expressed. After leaving the North Pole, he was born in the prairie and became a lion.

In other words, the other party may not necessarily remember anything.

What a pity.

Qiao Qixi, who just got the good news, thought hard, but her mood has changed from sadness to anticipation. For the sake of that prophecy that I don't know whether it is true or not, let's call it a prophecy for now.

What if it was true?

……

In Africa, on the grasslands south of the Sahara Desert, there is one of the two major subgroups of lions, the African lion.

According to statistics, there are more than 2 wild African lions left today, which seems to be a good number.

As for the other subpopulation, due to human hunting and environmental destruction, there are only more than 300 of them left, and they are currently kept in captivity in a reserve of more than 1400 square kilometers.

They are Asian lions.

Once on this blue planet, the total number of lions added up to be considerable, because they had two subgroups and eight subspecies, which were once distributed all over the world.

However, many subspecies are now extinct or endangered, such as the extinct Cape lion and Barbary lion, and now the endangered Asiatic lion.

The rainy season in the grassland has changed people's impression of the dim and gloomy African prairie, and now it is so vibrant.

After ample rainfall in December and January, it nourishes the rich grassland and green lush tree canopy.

The wild growth of plants makes the air fresh and humid, like a natural oxygen bar.

Animals inhabiting this grassland, such as African buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, antelope, zebra, etc., all stroll and graze leisurely under the blue sky.

Of course, this means when there are no predators stalking them.

As we all know, there are a group of powerful and ferocious carnivores on the African grasslands. They are the familiar African lions, several kinds of leopards, groups of hyenas, and the less familiar baboons and so on.

When any one of them appears near a smaller herbivore, it's enough to cause a riot.

That doesn't include a pride that's dying, though.

Two emaciated lionesses and five cubs, about nine months old, headed south on the grasslands to avoid neighboring male lions who invaded their territory.

A month ago, the male lion guarding the pride died of injuries, leaving behind five female lions and thirteen cubs in the territory.

In order to occupy the lion pride, the male lion will spare no effort to kill the cubs, and the cubs under the age of three months have already died in the first confrontation.

The lionesses in this lion group are tough, and in order to protect the remaining sub-adult cubs, they tried every means to deal with the male lions.

However, contrary to expectations, the two lionesses who fled with their cubs obviously found it difficult to take up the heavy responsibility, because they had suffered a lot of injuries along the way.

Even if they can escape the attacks of other lions, the lionesses who are not in good physical condition can hardly hunt for the next meal to feed the five sub-adult male lions who are waiting to be fed.

The human team responsible for recording the activities of the lions quietly followed the lions on their way to extinction, even though the worker in charge of the camera has 30 to [-] years of work experience and is used to seeing life and death on the grassland.

But at this moment his heart was very sad.

It is true that the lion group in front of the camera is about to face decline, but it cannot be denied that they once had a famous name called the Norman Family Alliance.

Anyone who pays a little attention to African lions knows the history of the Norman family alliance.

It used to be so glorious that it was one of the famous and powerful alliances on the grassland.

In the beginning, it consisted of two male lions, and the alliance of two lions established a land in the southern part of the grassland. When the lion group was at its peak, there were 35 lions, which is quite a rare example.

Since the two lion kings of the first generation of the Norman family became famous on the grassland, this pair of lion king brothers who have always had a good relationship left behind six very outstanding sons, who formed the later Six Lions Alliance and continued the glory of the Norman family. .

It was at this time that the whole world began to pay attention to this brotherly alliance of love and righteousness, and became their die-hard fans.

People are overwhelmed by the unity and ferocity of the six lions, and moved by their never-ending brotherhood.

From the youthful subadulthood to the peak period, through countless struggles and injuries, cheers and tears, people have been accompanying these six majestic lions for ten years.

However, the fate of these six brothers in their later years was not very good. There was no one in their next generation who could provoke the leader, and the continuation of the lion group was still supported by the six brothers.

After their curtain call, the third generation of the Norman family did not fall, but it was no longer brilliant, and even fell into a state of survival between the cracks.

This period is the saddest period for Norman family supporters all over the world, because the third generation is really heartbreaking.

People also hoped that the third generation would stand up from the beginning, and then prayed that the third generation would be safe and alive as long as they were safe.

Where there is life, there is hope.

If the third generation doesn't work, then count on the fourth and fifth generations.

Although the requirements are very low, the direct descendants left by the two lion kings still die or disappear one by one.

When the last two brothers of the third generation passed away one after another, there were only five sub-adult male lion cubs left in the Norman family. They were the fourth generation, and they were guarded by the dedicated lioness under the fangs.

But now the lioness is also struggling.

Without the protection of the lioness, the five male cubs would have died.

Sure enough, two lionesses fell during a hunt, and the sisters did not return to the lion group smoothly.

Now the five male lion cubs have become orphans. They have no way to hunt. Even if they are lucky and don't encounter foreign enemies, they can only wander on this grassland for a week at most.

Recorders took pictures of two lionesses falling down, and five helpless cubs disappearing in the grass.

Do you still want to follow up?

This is a particularly worrying process, because everyone knows that these five little lions are bound to die.

Unless a miracle happens.

However, the grassland, which has never been peaceful, will not be too kind to these five little lions.

The camera tracked for two days, and the result was no surprise. People’s records of the Norman family for more than 20 years ended with this group of sub-adult male lion cubs crawling exhaustedly on the grass.

This will be the last picture of the Norman family that people will see.

Very sad, but helpless.

The once glorious and powerful family announced its collapse. I don't know how sad the supporters of the Norman family will be when they know the news.

Not taking pictures of their stiff corpses was the photographer's last reluctance. When night fell on this grassland where the weak and the strong preyed on the strong, human beings left this sad place.

It has to be said that the lionesses are very intelligent, and the escape direction they choose for their cubs is a no-nonsense zone.

Several lions in the neighborhood were busy exchanging fire, and none of the lions noticed it for the time being, or noticed it, but did not free their hands.

Equally clever is not only the sacrificed lioness, but also Alexander who immigrated from the Arctic.

Yes, a little excited, that unbelievable prophecy turned out to be true.

After Qiao Qixi opened her eyes again, she realized that she was now a sub-adult male lion.

He is fat and strong, about three years old, and looks like he has just been away from the lions for less than half a year.

Now wandering alone on the grassland, next to the lions who used to live, because the lioness is quite friendly, when he first came, he could occasionally go back to eat and drink.

However, the existence of free food is not welcome anywhere.

After spending two days eating with the lions, Qiao Qixi felt that she had to be independent and self-reliant, otherwise how would she have the strength to go out and find Otis.

Alexander, who made up his mind not to waste money, began to think about hunting.

"..." Oops, my mind went blank.

Losing genetic memory is a really fucked up thing, almost having to do it all over again.

At this time, Qiao Qixi's mind rang out a sentence: I have watched countless grassland documentaries, but I still can't live my life well.

But it's not a big problem, he doesn't have the memory of hunting lions, but he has the memory of hunting polar bears.

In general, he is already a veteran of wild survival.

Also, Qiao Qixi found that her five senses were particularly keen, just like polar bears, who could smell food or dangerous odors tens of kilometers away.

Combined with human wisdom, it is not difficult for him to hunt on the grassland.

He could even be called a cheat on the grassland. After all, no sub-adult male lion wandering alone can live as leisurely as he does.

The most dangerous moment of fighting alone is not when hunting, but after a successful hunt, the smell of blood will attract a large number of carnivores to carve up.

For example, the most notorious hyena group on the grassland, as long as there are more than three, they will not be afraid of a single sub-adult male lion.

As for vultures or something, that's fine.

Therefore, Qiao Qixi usually hunts smaller herbivores, eats them quickly and then leaves.

This lion, which has the habits of a polar bear, likes to hunt food before it rains, because the rain can wash away the blood and cover up the spread of the smell.

In this way, he can carry the prey back to his sleeping place and eat slowly.

Qiao Qixi was pulling an overweight impala in his mouth, which was really an accident. Originally, he wanted to catch a gazelle, because there was too much meat to eat, and the gazelle was just right in size.

But things were unpredictable, the impala stepped on his trap, and he had no choice but to hit him to death.

Taking a shortcut back to the nest in the rain, Qiao Qixi saw a litter of lion cubs half-dead by the rain in the grass.

Just a glance, he continued to go back to the nest with food in his mouth, why should he save him?

The law of the jungle preys on the strong, life and death are up to fate.

This is the cruel animal world.

But if you want to raise cubs yourself, that's another matter.

Qiao Qixi has always wanted to raise a bear cub, and now the opportunity has come, it is a litter of lion cubs without parents.

Hey hey hey hey.

So it's a strange fate that he failed to raise a bear cub in the North Pole, but raised a lion cub on the grassland.

Qiao Qixi returned to the grass and took the weak cubs back to their den one by one.

At this time, he began to miss Xiao Huang, and if Xiao Huang was around, he could take both of them at once.

Xiao Huang:? ? ?I am retired, thank you!

Alexander's nest, under a rocky mountain, in a concave position.

This orientation is well protected from rain.

And he dug a drainage ditch in front, so the nest is very dry.

There were five little lions in total. When Qiao Qixi helped them lick their bodies, he found that they were five male lions.

The age is less than one year old, and the spots on a few of them have not faded, obviously they are quite small.

But I must have quit breastfeeding, because the deciduous teeth are growing quite gratifyingly.

To Qiao Qixi's surprise, there was a white lion among the five male lion cubs.

And it looks the thinnest, so the rumors on the grassland are really good, the chance of the white lion surviving is very small.

If this white lion hadn't encountered a miracle, it would have gone to see Hades now.

In fact, not only white lions, all lion cubs have a very low survival rate, and their mortality rate is as high as 80%.

So despite the fact that there are so many cubs in the lion pride, there are only a few that can survive.

Of course, the last ones to survive are the elite.

Qiao Qixi licked the fur of the lion cubs and found that although the cubs were weak, they still had the desire to survive.

So he tore open the skin and flesh of the antelope, and chewed some of the meat for them to eat.

The little lion cubs who fainted from hunger smelled the smell of blood, and all of them struggled to get up and eat.

Qiao Qixi looked at the weakest white lion, a little worried that the other party would not be able to survive, so she gave a small treatment eccentrically.

Fortunately, the little white lion was able to open its mouth to swallow. Under the forceful feeding, it ate some minced meat.

This eating lasted for a long time.

When the cubs recovered a little bit of strength, they ate by themselves beside the food, eagerly and cautiously, as if they were worried that this strange male lion would hurt them.

When encountering an unfamiliar male lion, it is a natural instinct of the cubs to run away immediately.

But the temptation of food is too great, these hungry male lion cubs are not willing to leave.

So I can only eat eagerly while being vigilant, from the uneasy at the beginning to the wolfing down later.

Only went through about 10 minutes.

Qiao Qixi didn't care about them and was only responsible for feeding the immobile white lions.

After Yuemo was almost fed, he wrapped the other person's already slightly cold body around him to keep warm.

Although the fate of the white lion is ill-fated, if it can survive, it must be the best on the grassland.

Qiao Qixi was looking forward to it. It would be great if he could make all the lion cubs survive. Of course, he knew that the ending would be difficult.

There used to be a legend on the grassland. Two sturdy lionesses raised 8 cubs and brought them all to an age where they could be independent. This is really a legend, a legend that cannot be surpassed.

Qiao Qixi licked the weak white lion in her arms, thinking quite ambitiously, if there was a male lion on the grassland that raised five cubs.

Is that right, to set a new record.

At this time, the white lion opened its eyes in Qiao Qixi's arms, and the first thing he smelled was a strange scent of a male lion when he was weak.

Fear and anxiety, vigilance and doubt, all kinds of emotions may flock to occupy the heart of this sub-adult white lion.

He should have struggled to get up and leave here immediately, but the warm embrace seemed to return to his mother's arms. It was a memory that he didn't enjoy a few times in his childhood, but he still remembered deeply.

Indeed, compared to other brothers, White Lion may receive very little attention.

Some may even be killed at birth.

Qiao Qixi lowered her head and found that the little male lion in her arms had opened her eyes at some point, and was staring at her intently.

The eyes are quite beautiful.

Qiao Qixi: Hello, little lion, aren't you surprised?

It is said that this litter of lion cubs is very good-looking, with regular and handsome facial features, except for this white lion, the other four have yellow fur. It is not difficult to imagine that they will grow light brown brown fur when they grow up.

Of course, they haven't grown yet, these sub-adults are still very young and cute.

Qiao Qixi chewed some antelope meat, and the fed white lion accepted it with a strong desire to survive.

He had to accept it.

This strange male lion acted like a mother, which made the white lion gradually reduce its fear of the male lion, and at the same time increase its doubts and curiosity.

Encountering a rare delicious meal, the other four male lion cubs ate desperately until their stomachs were full, and then reluctantly gave up the unfinished antelope.

After simply cleaning their paws and faces, the four brothers huddled together in a corner, and their four young faces looked full of fear and anxiety.

And they are tired.

In addition to fear, the terrified eyes are more sleepy.

Everyone knew that they should leave here as soon as possible, but looking at the strange male lion, the cubs were frightened and frightened, but they still stayed in this den full of the smell of a male lion.

Because they know the outside world is no safer than here.

The brothers tasted the long-lost feeling of fullness and warmth here, which made the lion cubs who were not experienced enough in life fall into ambivalence.

But none chose to leave.

After all, the life of wandering and wandering is so frightening. They are greedy for the sense of security at this moment, and finally they can't hold on to lie down and fall asleep.

When one fell asleep, it would drive the other. Finally, less than 20 minutes later, the four male lion cubs huddled together and all fell asleep.

The white lion, which was eating intermittently, finally tilted its head and fell asleep between Qiao Qixi's paws.
