Chapter 162: Gift from Clouded Leopard
"Ni Mu, Lord Yogurt seems to have encountered the animal that came to the door." The cat followed Li Mu towards the gate of the yard, looking up at him.
"Then Master Yogurt, do you know which animal it is?"
"Well"
The cat thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but its taste is very familiar to you, sir."
"Oh, I see." Li Mu had already walked behind the door, reached out to unlock it, and with a creak, he opened the door.
"Ouch!"
As soon as the gate opened, the tiger cub and wolf cub behind him ran to Li Mu's feet and growled at a brown figure outside the gate.
The tiger mother and the she-wolf also walked towards the gate.
"It's the one with the chicken stuck in its throat." The cat now saw the animal at the door clearly, and spoke in an excited voice, as if it had seen an acquaintance.
But at the end he seemed to have forgotten what it was called, and the voice stopped abruptly.
"Clouded leopard." Li Mu whispered to the kitten.
"That's right! Clouded Leopard~"
The cat repeated, and immediately turned to look at the cubs beside him, "Don't bite it, Master Yogurt knows it!"
The cubs were stunned for a moment, turned their heads to look at the kitten, then looked at the clouded leopard squatting at the door, and slowly retracted their teeth.
"Long time no see." Li Mu smiled and greeted the somewhat nervous clouded leopard at the door.
The clouded leopard stood up and slowly walked towards Li Mu. After taking only two steps, his eyes suddenly widened as if he saw something scary. He turned around and ran away.
It ran so fast that it left an orange afterimage. It didn't stop until it reached a patch of grass beside the path. Then it looked back at Li Mu with a vigilant look on its face.
Li Mu tilted his head slightly and saw Tiger Mom and Wolf Mom.
"I know this clouded leopard. I have rescued it in the forest before."
Li Mu touched Tiger Mom's forehead, then looked at Wolf Mom, "Don't worry, I'm fine here, you guys go back to the den and continue to rest, it's timid, I'm afraid it won't dare to come over when it sees you."
Tiger Mom and Wolf Mom looked at Li Mu, nodded, and turned back to the cabin.
After the cubs let down their guard, their curiosity arose. They sat down on the ground, tilted their heads to look at the clouded leopard. After looking for a while, they turned their heads to look at the kitten. They always felt that the clouded leopard at the door looked a bit like Mr. Yogurt.
"Don't be afraid. Mother Tiger and Mother Wolf are both mine." The cat walked out of the door in small steps and said to the clouded leopard, "Come back. I won't eat you."
The clouded leopard looked at the kitten, then at Li Mu.
After finding that the big tiger and the wolf had indeed obediently returned to the yard, the clouded leopard got up from the grass and slowly approached the gate of the yard. When it was almost at the gate, it paused again.
Li Mu turned his head following Clouded Leopard's gaze and found Brother Nan standing behind him, holding a cell phone in his hand, looking at Clouded Leopard curiously.
"Do what you should do. Don't worry about me." Seeing that the clouded leopard stopped moving, Brother Nan waved at it and took a few steps back.
"She is Nan Ge, she won't hurt you." Li Mu stepped out of the door and walked to Yunbao. "How did you know I was here? What's the matter?"
"Is the chicken stuck in your throat again?" The kitten also looked up at the clouded leopard. She still remembered that the last time she saw it was when it had a bone stuck in its throat while eating chicken.
The clouded leopard looked down at the kitten and shook his head, "No."
"Well, you should eat eggs more slowly next time." Mao'er spoke softly, but his expression was serious, like a child pretending to be an adult. "It's okay if you get stuck. You can find Nimu."
Clouded Leopard nodded.
After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, the kitten squatted on the ground without saying anything, and turned to look at Li Mu.
Clouded Leopard also shifted his gaze to Li Mu, "I followed you back last time."
"You mean, last time I helped you remove the chicken bones, you didn't leave, but followed me quietly?"
Clouded Leopard nodded.
"Is that so?" Li Mu understood. No wonder the clouded leopard came directly to his door.
"So what is the matter that brought you to me?" Li Mu had just observed that the clouded leopard was in good health and had no injuries.
"Thank you."
"Thank me?"
The clouded leopard nodded again, then turned around and ran back to the bushes where he had run to hide from the tiger mother, and lowered his head to pick up a hare.
"Here you go." The clouded leopard put the hare in front of Li Mu.
The hare has shiny fur and a round body, which is bigger than a kitten. I guess it was carefully selected by the clouded leopard.
"What a fat hare!"
The cat's eyes widened and she circled around the hare, which was bigger than her. "Where did you catch it?"
"In the mountains over there." Clouded Leopard turned his head and looked in a direction behind him.
"Can you take Master Yogurt with you?"
"can."
"Okay!" The cat was very happy. Nimu doesn't eat mice, but he will eat hares. Now that he knows this place, he can catch fat rabbits to feed him in the future.
"Thank you." Li Mu thanked the clouded leopard and took the hare.
I don't know how long the clouded leopard must have spent to find such a fat rabbit, and it was sent all the way here. I really couldn't bear to refuse it, but there was no need to refuse it.
Animals are pure. If you are nice to them, they will be nice to you. If you reject their kindness, they will think you hate them.
Of course, we still have to refuse mice.
Sure enough, when the clouded leopard saw Li Mu taking the hare, it happily wagged its tail twice.
"Come into the yard and I'll show you where I live." Li Mu picked up the hare on the ground, turned around, and invited the clouded leopard into the yard.
The clouded leopard took two steps and suddenly seemed to think of something, so it turned around and ran towards the grass again.
"Yes, Clouded Leopard is here to deliver a hare to your anchor."
"Well, I reckon it caught two hares, now go get the other one."
Brother Nan's voice could be heard from the door from time to time.
Li Mu shook his head.
Brother Nan didn't know when he remembered his unlock password, and he would steal his phone from time to time in the past few days and start live broadcasts for him.
But it’s better this way. He has been lazy recently and rarely does live broadcasts. With Brother Nan helping him, he has more free time.
Moreover, Brother Nan only broadcasts live, and you won’t look through his photo albums or use any software.
It’s okay to just flip it.
Li Mu had already put all the secretly taken photos into the private space of his mobile phone in advance, so he was not worried at all about being discovered by Brother Nan, and he felt very open about it.
Not long after, the clouded leopard came back.
But there was no other hare in its mouth as Brother Nan mentioned.
Instead, he was biting a stone in his mouth, a yellow stone.
The clouded leopard walked up to Li Mu, lowered his head, spit out the stone in his mouth, and looked up at Li Mu. "I heard that you went to the mountains to pick up stones. When I was catching rabbits, I also picked up a stone that was different from the other stones. Do you like it?"
The stones on the ground are golden in color, smooth around the edges without any edges, and have small honeycomb-like pits on the surface.
Li Mu stared blankly at the stone on the ground, stunned for a moment.
Thanks to Zuimengyunxusuiyu for the reward! Thanks to Xiaoxi for the monthly ticket!
