Chapter 299 Tiger Mother’s Hunting Teaching
There was a pop.
The blue-red gallnut looks like a fruit, but in fact it is hollow inside and contains gas.
As soon as Brother Nan broke it apart, it exploded, spewing out a burst of gray dust like smoke.
Li Mu had already taken a few steps back holding the yogurt in advance, so he was not sprayed.
Brother Nan was sprayed all over his hands because he didn't know.
brush!
Brother Nan suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Mu fiercely. If glances could kill, he would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.
"I haven't had time to remind you yet," Li Mu explained palely.
"Hmph!"
Brother Nan didn't care about him and looked down at the gallnuts that had been opened.
The gallnuts are filled with densely packed red aphids. If someone with trypophobia looks at them, they will probably feel uncomfortable for several days.
"Hey, can this kind of insect be used as medicine?" Brother Nan looked down at the gallnut in his hand.
The cat also woke up and stretched its neck to look.
Li Mu hugged her and approached Brother Nan, and said at the same time: "You can't use it directly. You need to boil it in boiling water or steam it until the surface turns gray to kill the aphids inside, and then take it out and dry it before use.
"According to traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to the lung, large intestine and kidney meridians and can treat symptoms such as chronic cough due to lung deficiency, phlegm cough due to lung heat, diarrhea and night sweats."
"Oh."
Brother Nan nodded, "Then what is this gray powder that is sprayed out?"
"."
"Why don't you speak?"
"Nothing, just throw it away and wash your hands."
"Say!"
Li Mu pursed his lips and looked at Brother Nan with a guilty conscience: "But you asked me to say it?"
"Mother-in-law, tell me quickly!"
"It's the excrement of gall aphids."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he took two steps back.
"."
Brother Nan was silent for a moment, threw away the gallnuts, clapped his hands, and turned to look at Li Mu: "What are you hiding from? There are still bugs in the cherries we eat. If you don't eat them as usual, this is called nature. Get me some water to wash my hands."
"Okay."
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Five minutes later.
Brother Nan and Yogurt, who had slept well, went to chase the birds.
Li Mu followed behind expressionlessly, silently thinking that this woman had no moral ethics.
Not long after, Brother Nan suddenly ran back with yogurt in his arms.
"Li Mu, I saw the tiger mother! She is teaching the tiger cubs to hunt. Let's go and have a look!"
"Okay."
Li Mu nodded and followed Brother Nan to a forest.
Except for the last time the tiger mother, wolf mother and golden eagle helped him hunt the wild boar king, he had never seen the tiger mother hunt before.
This time we met, it was a good time to experience the hunting skills of the king of the forest on the spot, and it was also a good time for my cat to learn from it.
Brother Nan pulled Li Mu up a hillside and pointed to a bush at the foot of the hillside: "It's right there, can you see it?"
"I saw it."
Li Mu has excellent eyesight and can see far away. He can clearly see every detail of the tiger mother and her two cubs.
The same goes for cats' eyesight.
Brother Nan spread out the picnic cloth and took out her military binoculars.
Two people and a cat were sitting on the hillside, looking carefully. I saw the tiger mother lowering her body and walking slowly in the jungle. The tiger cubs and siblings followed behind her, sniffing everywhere.
After all, they were young and still playful. The two siblings would fight from time to time while walking. The little tiger's claws occasionally stepped on the dead leaves on the ground and made a sound.
"Roar!"
The tiger mother suddenly stopped, turned around and growled at the siblings.
Li Mu no longer restricted his hearing, and distant sounds suddenly reached his ears clearly. The tiger mother was scolding the siblings, saying that they moved too much when walking and made too much noise.
Wild animals are extremely vigilant. After all, in the wild, they face a life-and-death struggle every day. Either you become my food, or I become yours.
Therefore, the slightest disturbance will arouse the vigilance of prey, not to mention the actions of the tiger cubs and brother and sister walking and fighting at the same time.
The siblings were scolded by their mother and lowered their heads.
But they also understood that this time their mother brought them out not to play, but to hunt.
The siblings looked at each other, stopped playing, and quickly entered the mouse-catching mode. They lowered their bodies and sneaked close to the ground. Each paw accurately stepped on the position of the previous paw, and their voices suddenly became Be quiet.
Li Mu lowered his head and glanced at the kitten beside him. The cat noticed his gaze and raised its head to look at him: "What are you looking at Mr. Yogurt?"
"Is this what you taught me?"
"Well, mice have very good ears, so they can't hear when they walk like this."
"That's it."
"That's right."
The cat lowered his head again, "Stop talking and look quickly"
Li Mu smiled, held the kitten's gently wagging tail, and continued to look toward the woods.
The tiger mother looked at the actions of the siblings and shook her beard, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Next, three tigers, one large, two small, moved forward slowly in a sneaking manner, looking for the scent of prey.
The Siberian tiger's diet is very wide.
Wild deer, bison, wild goats, red deer, musk deer, roe deer, etc. It can be said that all birds and animals in the forest are on its diet.
Apex predators are so domineering.
I don’t know if it’s just bad luck.
The tiger mother led her two cubs to explore. Apart from squirrels and some birds in the trees, there were only hares, pheasants and mice.
The tiger mother didn't even notice this. She probably wanted to teach the tiger cubs how to hunt medium and large prey.
But the two tiger cubs were very jealous of the mouse.
Seeing the fat rats slipping away under their noses, the siblings were heartbroken. These were all caused by moving rats!
If the tiger mother hadn't stopped them, they would have had a great harvest.
At the same time, I am also a little puzzled. Rats are so delicious, why doesn’t my mother catch them?
The siblings shook their heads and simply stopped looking at the mouse. They didn't feel bad if they couldn't see it. They continued to follow their mother in search of prey.
This picture was viewed through the lens of a mobile phone and was also watched by netizens in the live broadcast room.
The teaching of hunting wild Siberian tigers has caused the number of people online in the live broadcast room to increase exponentially, the barrages are pouring in, and the gifts are being sent non-stop.
At the same time, the CCTV building in Beijing.
Gu Cuihong, director of the operation center, stared closely at the big screen and said to the assistant on the side: "All these scenes must be recorded as part of our documentary."
"Received!"
Li Mu has been observing the movements of the tiger mother and the two tiger cubs.
Gradually, he also understood the meaning of the tiger mother bringing her cubs out this time.
The tiger mother wanted the siblings to observe and learn how it hunted medium and large animals and gain experience for them. She did not expect the siblings to actually catch one.
They are too small and unrealistic.
The tiger mother walked slowly, looking back at the two cubs from time to time, her expression becoming more and more satisfied.
The two siblings have caught mice with Yoghurt many times. They also play and play in the yard with other cubs, and they have learned many skills without knowing it.
Compared with the cubs of the same age, the current siblings can be said to be able to defeat them.
