Chapter 232 -232: Who Can Bear It, One Cub Outweighs Three Cods

Chen Ying rushed to the tree hollow, turned on her phone’s flashlight, and scanned the area, but she still only saw two cubs.

She hastily reached under Mendun’er to search, feeling from head to tail, but she couldn’t find Big Baby’s body.

Cold sweat streamed down her face.

Mendun’er had also woken up by now, and was a bit confused to see Chen Ying.

“Ying Ying, what are you doing here?”

“Where’s Big Baby? Where did your other cub go?”

Mendun’er scratched its head and then started turning around to search for its little ones.

Touching one after another without a peep.

Where were they? When it slept, there were always three, so why were there now only two?

The two cubs were so deep in sleep that even their mischief hadn’t stirred them, clinging to their mother’s fur, almost ready to bubble snot.

Just as Chen Ying was frantically anxious, thinking about waking people and looking for the cat,

Little Jin came over.

In its mouth, it carried a familiar black and white cub.

The cub didn’t make a sound because its mouth was still clenched around a bug.

Such a small cub couldn’t eat these things at all.

But Suona didn’t know that, and it just thought the soft, squishy little thing was fun to carry.

For the sake of this bug, it didn’t make a peep even when an unfamiliar animal carried it off.

If it had made any sound at all, relying on its title as the Suona of cats, it certainly would’ve stirred its mom.

Little Jin spat out Big Baby and explained with a look of helplessness.

“This little guy climbed out all by himself. He barely knows how to walk, and yet he managed to climb the wall and sneak away from home. He crawled and rolled for half the day, only getting a meter away, and part of that was just him rolling down.”

The bug in its mouth had also hit the bamboo and oddly enough, just fell down, landing in front of it.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the little guy snatched it up.

Little Jin originally wanted to pull the bug out of its mouth, but the little one didn’t like that, vigorously shaking its head to avoid Little Jin’s paws.

Little Jin, not wanting to hurt it and not daring to force it, could only carry it back then.

Mendun’er was furious, this careless child, not even two months old and daring to pull such stunts, what will it grow up to be?

Normally, panda cubs open their eyes around forty days old, and their bodies become stronger.

The first three months after birth are the fastest growing periods.

Basically, they change every day, and if you don’t see them for two days, you can feel them growing bigger.

Big Baby was now a handful to hold in both hands, feeling quite heavy, and full of energy, a moment of inattention could mean having to search everywhere.

Mendun’er now understood what those old mother bears meant when they said they didn’t want to recall the past of raising cubs.

When it was young, it couldn’t have caused its mother this much trouble, could it?

Feeling a bit guilty.

Thinking of this, it slapped Big Baby with a paw, pulled the bug from its mouth, then picked it up and with a toss of its head, Big Baby performed an airborne bear maneuver before successfully landing on its mother’s belly.

Hey, that was fun and wanted to do it again.

Over my dead body!

Mendun’er huffed at Big Baby and then lay back, the picture of exhaustion.

Seeing Mendun’er like this, Little Jin somewhat fearfully leapt up the tree, ready to chat with Jinya, maybe they shouldn’t adopt other animals’ abandoned cubs to raise.

The previous time they didn’t raise Little Gold for too long, and that had already upset Jinya. If they brought back a cub like Dark Baby, would Jinya lose all her fur from stress?

After a scare at night, both Chen Ying and Mendun’er were too afraid to sleep.

With Big Baby setting an example, the other two probably wouldn’t behave either.

Sure enough, Mendun’er spent the whole night awake, locked in a battle of wits with the young cubs.

Dragging one back inside after it had crawled out, another would take the opportunity to run out.

In the end, Mendun’er simply lay down and blocked the entrance to the tree hollow, and the three cubs finally calmed down for a while.

But it couldn’t block the entrance forever; they could suffocate that way.

Mendun’er itself was also very uncomfortable.

Thinking it over, Chen Ying taught Mendun’er to use rocks and branches to make a barrier so that even if the cubs crawled out of the hole, they wouldn’t be able to escape the enclosed area.

But actually, doing this wasn’t good; human intervention could make the cubs lose their direct understanding of nature.

To resolve this problem, Mendun’er decided to move.

It had its eye on a new nesting spot located beneath a dirt slope a little further away, inside a crevice in the rocks.

That place wasn’t suitable for giving birth, but it was good for raising children.

The space was large enough for three kids to move around. There was also a stone step that was currently an insurmountable peak for the three cubs.

Moreover, it was close to a water source and surrounded by lush bamboo forests, the favorite living environment of the giant panda.

With more cubs growing bigger, Mendun’er had to eat more vigorously to produce enough milk to feed all three.

What Mendun’er didn’t know was that this place was Beibei’s favorite. It often came here with its two brothers to play, and when tired, would sleep in the stone crevice cave.

Recently its brothers had taken it everywhere to find a spot it liked to settle in.

After making the rounds, Beibei still felt that stone crevice cave was the most comfortable.

But upon returning, sob, it had been occupied!

Occupied was one thing, but if it had been some other animal, a fight would have settled it, the winner stays.

But now the one occupying this nest was Aunt Mendun’er, Mommy’s close friend, who had just given birth to three little cubs. How could it fight her?

Even if it charged at her, Aunt Mendun’er could probably send it flying across the forest with one slap.

Little Baby dared not attack, and neither did Big and Small Baby.

The three little fellows chirped for half a day and decided to go back and find Mommy.

Upon hearing this, Leopard Sister’s first reaction was to fight, then she remembered it was her bestie occupying the place, and it was for the sake of her kids.

What should she do? Leopard Sister rubbed her claws anxiously and decided to seek out people for help.

Chen Ying was completely stunned when he was approached.

He had not expected Mendun’er to move so swiftly, nor had he expected that Beibei had set her sights on that place first.

He was caught in a dilemma just like Leopard Sister.

It was rare for Beibei to show a desire for something, and it felt wrong not to fulfill it.

But Mendun’er had three kids with her, and that stone crevice was more than suitable for them.

After thinking it over, Chen Ying went to discuss with Beibei, to see if they could find another place for her.

Upon hearing the suggestion, Beibei immediately said she didn’t need it, and that where she was currently living was fine.

The more the child said this, the more distressed Chen Ying became.

If it were any other animal, he might not feel so guilty, but Beibei was different; it had suffered too much. If he made her suffer again, he would not be able to live with himself.

At that moment, the young female bear who had come to visit suddenly squeaked.

“I found a good spot near the hive that I was thinking of moving into, but it’s a bit small. Little leopard should be able to move there.”

Beibei hurriedly said she could make do with anything as long as there was a place to live.

The young female bear put down the half-eaten pumpkin and beckoned Beibei and Big and Small Baby to go check it out.

Chen Ying was also curious, so he simply followed them.

The location was near Old Bear Gully, on the way to the hive, turning right at one-third of the distance, at the back of a shrubbery underneath a cliff, revealing a downward-sloping cave entrance.

The cave was narrow at the entrance and broad inside, large enough to accommodate three leopards with room to spare.

The spot was a bit tight for the young female bear and the street rat.

This was originally one of the birthing dens that the young female bear had chosen for herself, but since Beibei needed it, she let Beibei have it.

If all else failed, the tree hollow where Mendun’er used to live would also do, and the street rat could just find somewhere nearby to live.

After looking around, Beibei seemed very satisfied.

It nuzzled the young female bear and beckoned its two brothers to join it for a play inside.

The place was close to a water source, located at a higher elevation with bushes hiding the entrance, and just beyond there was a stretch of large trees.

Flower leopards liked to live in trees, but because of her injury, Beibei found the stone crevice cave more suitable for living.

After wandering around the area, Big Baby sneakily left his scent nearby.

Seeing Big Baby getting a head start, Little Baby, enraged, pounced on him ready to start a fight.

Not far away, Brother Leopard watched the two little cubs coldly, thinking that these two unlucky kids could not be spared.

This area was still within his territory; how dare the two cubs leave their markings? Did they think that he, as their father, had no presence?

In front of Beibei, Brother Leopard did not lash out at his two smelly sons. However, as soon as Beibei was taken by Leopard Sister to practice hunting, Brother Leopard gave his sons a severe lesson, teaching them what fatherly love is like—a love as strong as mountains breaking and earth splitting.

After settling Beibei’s matter, Chen Ying finally had time to discuss the situation with the breeders on Fufu’s side.

It was only upon inquiry that he found out that Fufu had been having issues recently.

Its nutritional intake couldn’t keep up with its offspring’s consumption, and the consequence of constantly feeding milk was Fufu’s visibly weak state.

If this continued, both the Giant panda and her little cub would be in danger.

“I suggest we take the cat back early,” he said.

Chen Ying looked at them and sighed internally.

“Fufu is a captive cat, eating food specially prepared by humans. Moreover, the center hasn’t limited its intake, leading to habitual overeating. The fetus is too large and consumes a lot, Fufu probably can’t bear it anymore.”

Daddy Xu stared blankly at the video of Fufu, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

“I’ll file a report and take Fufu back. This attempt at reintroduction to the wild was successful, but semi-wild domestication has failed. I will take responsibility for this.”

Chen Ying frowned slightly, wanting to say something but not uttering it.

The center replied quickly. After all, they had access to Fufu’s monitoring.

Before Daddy Xu and the others could make a decision, the center was already discussing whether to take the cat back.

It now seemed a foregone conclusion.

Every Giant panda is precious, especially Yuan Fugui, who carries wild panda genes. Even if he fails to thrive in the wild, at least he could improve the genetic quality of the captive panda population.

As for Fufu, if it mates again next time, they can learn from this experience and have it control its diet better, to avoid giving birth to another cub as large as Yuan Fugui.

The team for taking back the cat arrived quickly, by the next afternoon Fufu and the cub had already been retrieved.

Fufu seemed to breath a sigh of relief, lying obediently in the transshipment cage.

Yuan Fugui was carried down the mountain by Daddy Xu personally, with a bottle of fragrant formula milk tucked in his arms.

Now that there was no need to continue with the wild-rearing, there’s no need to resist the bottle-fed milk.

It was only after being bottle-fed that everyone realized the extent of Yuan Fugui’s appetite.

It took three times the amount of a normal cub to calm him, no wonder Fufu just couldn’t keep up.

Raising this one cub was like feeding three of Mendun’er’s cubs; it was truly a shock to learn how much it ate.

Four days after Fufu and Yuan Fugui had been taken down the mountain, their previous dwelling was visited by an uninvited guest.
