My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 548 Tigers also have depression

   After seeing the appearance of the two little tigers clearly.

  Chen Ling was stunned.

   Thin, emaciated, with scars on his dirty body.

  Is this still the innocent and lively Afu Ahshou like a kitten?

and…

  He actually saw tears in the eyes of the two little tigers.

  Through the iron cage, the sockets of his eyes sparkled.

   "Ahh!"

  Suddenly, they looked at Chen Ling eagerly, and let out a cry of panic and desolation as if they were crying.

  At this moment, Chen Ling's heart also trembled.

  Then the two tiger cubs began to slap the cage with their paws even more frantically, shaking it violently.

   'Ahhh', 'ahhh' continued to yell hastily.

  The tears in both eyes flowed down the tear sockets.

  The old headmaster and the others next to him hadn't noticed the abnormality of the two little tigers at this time, but they still said to Chen Ling in the same tone as before: "Xiao Chen, have you seen it? These two little tigers have been in the current situation recently. To put it bluntly, this is no longer a problem of stimulating hunting and wildness, but a little neurotic... If it continues to deteriorate, there will be casualties when the tigers fight each other."

  The animal trainer came up to the breeder and whispered: "It seems useless to call Brother Chen here. It seems that Ah Fu and Ah Shou are sick..."

  Before he finished speaking, he heard the breeder scream "ahhh": "Look, Ah Fu Ah Shou has tears in his eyes."

   "Huh? Tears?"

  The old director was the closest, and quickly shone a flashlight on it.

  In this photo, you can see Ah Fu and Ah Shou's tearful tiger eyes that are constantly weeping, crying wildly while scratching the iron cage.

   "What's the situation?"

   It was the first time for several people to see the tiger crying and crying, and they felt a strange shock and worry in their hearts.

  At this moment, Chen Ling said, "Open the cage, I'll go in and see the situation."

   "Brother Chen, the condition of the two little tigers is not right..."

  The breeder Xiao Li didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by the old headmaster with a wave: "Open it, I will take responsibility for any accidents."

  The old man is an old man after all, and the problem has already been seen at this time.

   Sure enough.

  As soon as the cage was opened, Chen Ling walked into the tiger garden.

  The two little tigers immediately jumped off the wall of the cage, impatiently taking small steps, like two little milk cats, ran up to Chen Ling howling, put their two big heads into his arms, and hugged them tightly.

  In this scene, everyone opened their mouths wide and were speechless.

   Just staring at the two tigers coquettishly in Chen Ling's arms, rubbing and licking...

   "This, this, could it be that the illness of the two little tigers is here?"

   "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

  "...To be honest, I'm a little confused, who can tell me what's going on? Why is this brother Chen coming over, Ah Fu and Ah Shou will be fine, old director?..."

   "Don't look at me, I don't understand what's going on, but calling Xiao Chen over must be the right call."

  Actually, it wasn't that they didn't understand, they just couldn't figure out what happened between the two little tigers, Ah Fu and Ah Shou, and Chen Ling in such a short period of time, which was far less than a month, that made the two little tigers so dependent and close to Chen Ling.

   So much so that after leaving Chen Ling, in the zoo where he was born and raised, the tiger parents and tiger mothers who were born and raised with him couldn't do it. First, he didn't think about food and food, and his appetite was poor.

  Going crazy in the park all day long, barking non-stop all day long, and even fighting big tigers, almost hurting people.

   It can be said that the mental state is very worrying.

   But when Chen Ling came over, everything changed.

   So much so that these people couldn't accept it for a while.

   "Okay, okay, Ah Fu Ah Shou, be good."

  Chen Ling hugged the two cubs and rubbed them together for a while in distress and satisfaction, not caring about the mud all over his body.

  The two little tigers didn't care about this, they still rubbed and licked Chen Ling's face and neck reluctantly, their eyes were softer and clearer than before, revealing humanized excitement and admiration.

  The people who followed were amazed, they were both surprised and unbelievable.

  A country youth has only trained for a few days, how could he have such a relationship with the tiger.

  Being closer than your parents.

   "Xiao Chen, you and Ah Fu Ah Shou are..."

  The old director still couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, he seemed hesitant to speak.

  Chen Ling didn't respond directly, but asked: "Old director, the situation of Ah Fu and Ah Shou is not right, why didn't they be isolated?"

   "Ah, this, it was quarantined before, and then several veterinarians said that the behavior of the two cubs needed social guidance, so they were sent back to the tiger park."

  The old director said helplessly: "We have thought of various methods before, isolated for a few days, released for a few days, tossed and tossed, tried everything, but unfortunately it didn't work."

   As he spoke, he looked at the two little tigers who were circling around Chen Ling and acting like a spoiled child, using their big tongues on Chen Ling's face, licking him until he couldn't open his eyes.

   Been the director of the zoo for so many years.

  They have seen quite a lot of strange things about animals, big and small.

   And because of the older age.

   There are also advantages in this regard.

  In the early years, I also got many rare and exotic animal notes from the early zoos in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, the zoo was called "Wansheng Garden". In fact, there were more types than now, and I knew more bizarre things.

  But I have never encountered such a situation before me.

  Seeing more and more staff attracted here.

  Everyone looked around Chen Ling and the two little tigers. After being surprised, there was a burst of discussion, and the voice of the discussion became louder and noisy.

  Because someone recognized Chen Ling as the young man who had been in the news and newspapers and hunted down the wild boar king.

  Combined with the scene of being pestered and acted like a spoiled child by two little tigers, the enthusiasm of their discussion became more and more enthusiastic.

  The old headmaster watched from the side, moved his lips, and suddenly didn't know what to ask.

  What else can I ask in this situation?

  The performance of the two little tigers in front of Chen Ling already explained everything.

  …

   That night.

  Chen Ling proposed to go to the former cub isolation area with the two cubs for one night, give Ah Fu and Ah Shou a bath, and see how his mental state changes.

  The old director and the others did not disagree.

  After all, he can hunt house-sized wild boar kings, and from what the breeders and animal trainers told him, there are many legends about this young man, and they have heard a lot from the villagers.

   Now it seems that it is probably true.

  For a person like him, the park will only try to meet any request.

  That night, everyone watched the excitement for a while. After they dispersed in the middle of the night, Chen Ling brought the little green horse over, and took one horse and two little tigers into the cave together.

  At this time, there were no cameras or anything like that. In the isolation area of ​​the young tiger, it was empty and there was no one.

  Chen Ling became unscrupulous.

  …

   Inside the sun, moon and cave, it is also night.

  Over the past six months, projections of stars have gradually appeared in the sky along with the sun and the moon.

   Blinking and shining in the night sky one by one.

  In the dark night of the cave world, the night mist rises and fills the air. Under the dim moonlight and starlight, there is an ancient and desolate feeling.

  Compared to the outside world, there are no buildings here except thatched cottages and stone arch bridge areas.

  The night is more like coming to the primitive wild world.

  As soon as Ah Fu and Ah Shou came in, they were startled. They hurriedly shrank behind Chen Ling, and quietly poked out a tiger head to look around curiously.

   is sniffing here.

  After the little green horse saw this appearance, he immediately showed a humanized sneer, grinning his big white teeth, rushing back and forth into the thick night fog and rushing out again.

   Show off to two tigers its familiarity with the place.

   means that this place is like your own home.

   "Xiaoqing calm down, I will take you to take a bath."

  Chen Ling clapped his hands, picked off a bunch of grapes, and walked towards the Great Lake while eating.

  Two little tigers followed behind him step by step, cocking their noses and looking around, eyes full of curiosity.

  The little green horse was even more excited than Chen Ling's words. Instead, he spread his hooves and plopped into the big lake.

   A large spray and vortex was stirred up, and then with a horse's head on it, it showed off to Chen Ling and the two tigers with grinning teeth.

  Ah Fu Ah Shou was obviously moved when he saw this scene, he gently flapped his two cat ears, and stared straight at the big lake.

  The two little tigers hadn't seen Chen Ling for a long time, and this was the time when they were inseparable. Although they were tempted, they were reluctant to leave Chen Ling.

  He turned his head and looked at him eagerly, and yelled softly 'Ah, ah' twice.

   "Go, go if you want to play, you two go to the water to soak and play first, and then I will give you a bath."

  Chen Ling smiled and patted the backs of the two little tigers.

   "Why don't you move? You want me to go there together, okay, let's go there together."

  So he took the two little tigers to the shore of the big lake, pushed them lightly, and they fell into the lake.

  In fact, they have already taken a bath just now.

  But how can taking a bath in the outside world compare to taking a comfortable bath in the great lake of Dongtian?

   Sure enough.

  As soon as the two little tigers entered the water, they squinted their eyes comfortably, and happily swam and played in the water. The little green horse was a restless master from the moment he entered the house, and soon went to tease the two little tigers, which made Ah Fu and Ah Shou roar fiercely, chasing it in the water.

   After all, there are three wise ones, like three little dolls, and they soon play together.

  With Xiao Qingma around, Ah Fu and Ah Shou gradually became lively and mischievous as before.

  The more the three guys played in the lake, the happier they became, and the negative emotions accumulated during this period of time were all dissipated.

   After a while, Chen Ling was dragged into the water again.

   Ask Chen Ling to play with them.

   A Shou, the little male tiger, even caught a big fish from the water, and brought it to Chen Ling to please him.

   "Damn it, you can't stand it!"

  Chen Ling was startled for a moment, thinking of those half-meter-long cockroaches in the canal of the farm before, "No way, could it be that I accidentally brought the cockroaches to the cave, and then brought them out from the cave."

  Think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

  He, Zhao Dahai and others met Qiao Zuibai for the first time at the Dumb Lake in the north of the city.

  The biggest pout was as big as 1.3 meters.

  It was also in the evening that he was making waves on the lake, hunting small fish. At that time, he felt that the fish was fierce, and he secretly stuffed a few small fish into the cave.

   Later, after eating, drinking and having fun, I completely forgot about it.

   So much so that he took Ruirui to the reservoir and Laohewan to look around, is there any white mouth.

   "Ah woo."

  At this moment, Ah Shou yelled in panic, and quickly pressed his paws on the fish that had just been placed on the ground and was still crackling and jumping, and looked at Chen Ling eagerly as if offering a treasure.

   Ah Shou was like this, Ah Fu was not far behind and grabbed a big catfish from the water. The catfish was smooth and powerful, and it was even harder to catch. Ah Fu spent a lot of effort, making the lake water muddy, and he was covered in muddy water to drag the catfish that had been bitten into two pieces with his claws to Chen Ling.

   "Good boy, so good."

  Chen Ling chuckled, and stroked the bony backs of the two tigers a few times from the beginning to the end, "Eat it, these things are a great tonic, look at how skinny you are now."

   "Ahhh."

   Seeing Chen Ling let them eat fish, the two little guys yelled in doubt, lowered their heads to sniff, and licked the blood oozing from the two fish with their tongues.

  The little green horse came up from the lake when he saw it, so he came over very happy, and twitched his nose to smell it. After smelling it, he turned his head away in disgust, and soon sneezed and walked away covered in muddy water.

  Chen Ling was amused and laughed: "To make you naughty, you want to join in the fun of everything, and you still want to eat fish like a horse?"

  Tigers can eat fish, but this is the first time for the two cubs.

   But what they eat is cave fish, they like it very much.

  The little green horse can't eat fish, but there are some who follow suit. They take a small branch of fruit from some fruit trees and bring it to Chen Ling. After Chen Ling feeds it, it happily kicks its hooves, swings its fluffy and beautiful tail, and eats side by side with the two little tigers.

  Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. He was still a child when he was smart, and he liked to compare.

  He felt that if he didn't take the fruit from the little green horse and feed it to it, the little green horse might roll around like a baby and quit.

  I feel a lot less favored than Ah Fu Ah Shou.

   "Go, catch some more fish to eat."

  Seeing that Ah Fu and Ah Shou each finished eating a big fish, Chen Ling waved his hand and told them to go down to the lake to catch fish.

   At this time, he himself was also hungry, and rode all the way to the provincial capital, and he hadn't eaten at night.

  I caught a few fish from the ditch behind the hut, lit a fire and roasted them, and filled the fish maw and wrapped the fish body with some spiced grass leaves. The taste is quite good.

   After filling their stomachs, they bathed a horse and two tigers and played with water.

   Removed the barrier barriers in several areas of the cave, and let the two little tigers chase the jackal and the broken-tailed leopard in the jungle.

   Originally, Chen Ling wanted to have some fun, but later unexpectedly discovered that these jackals had already given birth to several litters of young jackals waiting to be fed, so he gave up on this idea.

  As for the broken-tailed leopard, when it saw Ah Fu and Ah Shou, it was too frightened to come down from the tree, and it didn't dare to accept the move.

   Chen Ling sighed, saying that it had grown up physically, but hadn't grown up its courage, and it was almost a useless leopard.

   Hurry up and find a female leopard to have children.

  Stayed inside the cave for half the night, A Fu A Shou and Xiao Qingma had a good time playing around the hut, while Chen Ling slept in the hut.

  The next morning, the old director and the people in the park were even more surprised when they saw the two little tigers than yesterday, and they all said how it was that Ah Fu and Ah Shou were so energetic all of a sudden.

   But they didn't pursue it too much.

  Because Professor Han brought an experienced doctor from Beijiao here today.

  After hearing about Ah Fu and Ah Shou's condition, he concluded that the two little tigers suffered from depression after being depressed for a long time.

Yes.

  This animal, like humans, suffers from depression.

   There are also many examples, such as some wild birds, people think they are beautiful, they are captured and raised in cages, and they eat and drink, but these birds are depressed and eventually die.

  This is almost the same reason.
