Chapter 41 The Generous Chu Ye
Although the two lionesses had no idea what Chu Ye had just done.
However, he felt somewhat better after seeing the two lionesses teach the male lion a lesson.
At this moment, Chu Ye suddenly remembered that he had just killed a wild dog, and he didn't know if the dog's carcass was still in that thicket.
The two lionesses failed to hunt tonight and must be very hungry. That wild dog, however, might provide the lionesses and cubs with some meat.
At the same time, Chu Ye thought that since the lionesses didn't know what he had just done, he would bring them a wild dog to show them.
So Chu Ye ran to the bushes not far away.
Fortunately, the dead wild dog was still lying there, indicating that the pack of wild dogs had not eaten the corpse of their companion.
Wild dogs are not like hyenas, which readily eat the corpses of their own kind, or even their wounded companions.
Wild dogs aren't usually that cruel; they generally don't eat the corpses of their own kind. So, the carcass of the wild dog that Chu Ye killed remained in that patch of bushes.
Upon seeing the carcass of the wild dog, Chu Ye happily carried it in his mouth and ran towards the two lionesses.
The two lionesses were simply chasing the wild dogs to retrieve their cubs. They didn't even notice the dead wild dog lying in the bushes.
The two lionesses were indeed very hungry. They had not eaten for two or three days, and today's hunt had failed again. In addition, they had lost a cub, so the two lionesses were very depressed.
Just then, Chu Ye arrived in front of the two lionesses, carrying a wild dog in his mouth.
The two lionesses were very surprised when they saw Chu Ye carrying a wild dog carcass. They couldn't understand why Chu Ye would have a wild dog carcass in his mouth.
The two lionesses simply couldn't believe that Chu Ye had killed them himself.
Regardless, when Chu Ye threw a wild dog carcass in front of the two lionesses, they immediately began to fight over it.
The male lion was sleeping nearby when he suddenly heard the lionesses fighting over food, so he woke up. Seeing that there was wild dog meat to eat, he became excited and immediately ran over.
Male lions normally have the right to priority in obtaining food. If a male lion wanted to eat a wild dog, the lionesses would likely not dare to compete for it.
This time, however, Lisa and Elsa didn't let the lion have all the food. Since there was only one wild dog, if they didn't fight for it, the lion would eat it all, leaving it and its cubs with nothing.
There was no other way; this time, the two lionesses wouldn't let the male lion have all the food, and they started fighting with him for it.
Lisa and Elsa were already angry because of the male lion's negligence, which had resulted in the loss of a cub. Now, Chu Ye had brought a wild dog, and the male lion was trying to take it from them. Of course, the two lionesses wouldn't give in to the male lion.
So, the two lionesses and the male lion fought over food there.
Chu Ye watched from the side without making any move.
The other lion cubs, frightened, scurried back into the bushes. After all, fights between adult male lions are terrifying, and the cubs, if left unattended, could potentially harm them.
Finally, the two lionesses and the male lion tore the wild dog carcass apart. They each got a large piece of wild dog meat and went to eat it.
The other lion cubs, who had initially hidden themselves in fear, emerged from the bushes once the adult lions had gone to eat the meat.
These lion cubs were also very hungry, but since they couldn't get any wild dog meat, they could only look for scraps of wild dog meat on the ground to satisfy their cravings.
Although Chu Ye wasn't very hungry, he felt that this wild dog was his trophy, and he had to taste what wild dog meat was like!
So Chu Ye went among the lion cubs to find some scraps of wild dog meat to taste.
Of course, these lion cubs don't need to worry about going hungry. As long as the mother lion has meat to eat, she will be able to produce milk for the cubs to nurse.
Chu Ye has basically stopped nursing and can hunt and support itself. Although it can only catch small prey, it knows it doesn't need to rely on its lioness to feed it.
On the contrary, Chu Ye could already do a lot for this pride. Not only could he help them protect the cubs, but he could even hunt prey for the lionesses and lions to eat.
Just like before, Chu Ye killed a wild dog and brought it back for the lionesses and lions to eat. If Chu Ye didn't want to feed it, it could have easily hidden the wild dog's carcass.
If that's the case, Chu Ye can enjoy the wild dog meat all by himself and won't offer it to the lioness and the male lion at all.
Chu Ye was, after all, human; he wasn't selfish. Since he could easily catch small prey, why should he care about a wild dog? Besides, if Chu Ye wanted to help the other lion cubs, he naturally had to ensure the lionesses had meat to eat.
If the lionesses don't get meat, they won't produce milk, and the cubs will go hungry.
Although Chu Ye can eat meat, it still finds breast milk more palatable. After all, lion cubs under six months old primarily feed on breast milk, with meat being a secondary food source.
However, lion cubs older than six months are primarily carnivorous, as they have been weaned and can no longer drink their mother's milk.
Chu Ye knew very well that the lioness's milk was very important for his and the cubs' growth. Therefore, he was still willing to take out the wild dog he had hunted and give it to the lionesses and male lions to eat.
After the two lionesses ate some meat, they quickly produced some milk.
These lion cubs can then once again snuggle in their mother's arms and nurse.
Chu Ye was the same. Although he could easily support himself with meat, he knew very well that the lioness's milk was the most nutritious thing for the cubs. Only by drinking more milk could they grow taller and stronger.
Chu Ye was now suckling at Lisa's sweet milk, his feelings incredibly complex. He didn't know what the next danger would be, or whether he could truly grow into a majestic adult lion.
No matter what, Chu Ye knew that he had to try his best to live, and he had to face any dangers and difficulties with strength.
Life requires struggle, and so does the life of a lion. Whether human or lion, as long as they live in a group, they will have many similarities.
