Chapter 259: The Great Mother Lynx

Although Wang An was in a state of highest alert at this moment, his heart was not panicked at all.

With the large Type 54 in hand, what did Wang An have to fear?

After waiting for a long time and observing for a long time, Wang An still didn't find any abnormalities.

After waiting for a while longer, the two little lynxes had already clumsily walked several meters away.

The puzzled Wang An took a few quick steps, grabbed the two little lynxes back, and tucked them against his chest with his left arm.

Wang An looked around again; one could see that on the snow, besides rabbit footprints and wolf footprints, there were also the shallow marks left by the two little lynxes when they came out of the woods.

And so, Wang An, with the two little lynxes tucked under his left arm and the large Type 54 in his right hand, followed the shallow footprints left by the two little lynxes and began to track them backward.

Tracking backward, as the name implies, is following the footprints to find the source.

After walking only a few hundred meters, Wang An discovered the carcass of a mother lynx. This mother lynx had already frozen stiff under a large tree.

One could tell that this mother lynx had experienced a very tragic battle before she died.

Because there were many frozen and blackened blood scabs on her body, and her fatal wound was in her abdomen.

Quite a lot of her intestines had already come out of her belly and were also frozen on the snow.

Wang An looked at the mother lynx before him and frowned deeply.

Logically speaking, when this thing couldn't beat an opponent, it had every opportunity to run.

In these mountains, with the lynx's agility and speed, plus its quite awesome tree-climbing skills.

If it wanted to escape, besides the large claws and the leopard, there was basically no fierce beast that could catch it and injure it so severely.

But the lynx before him had indeed been bitten into a serious injury, then ran away, and was then exhausted to death.

And just at this moment, the two little lynxes, perhaps because they smelled their mother's scent, kept struggling in Wang An's arms, wanting to get down.

Wang An looked at the two little lynxes in his arms and instantly understood something.

If Wang An's guess was correct, then the reason the mother lynx ended up like this was definitely because of the safety of these two little lynxes.

The two little lynxes were trapped or couldn't run away, which led to the mother lynx also being unable to escape, so the mother lynx fought fiercely with the opponent without retreating, eventually dying of serious injuries.

The process was impossible to guess, but since these two little lynxes could be unharmed now, then the mother lynx must have defeated or driven away the opponent before she died.

Although this mother lynx eventually died, one had to admit that the two little lynxes survived.

And on the ground, the only things that could make a lynx like this were wolf packs and red dog packs.

Thinking of this, Wang An couldn't help but feel admiration for this great mother lynx.

No matter how fierce and ruthless a lynx is, its love for its cubs is absolutely free of any other factors.

However, admiration and money are two existences that have nothing to do with each other.

So Wang An turned off the safety of the large Type 54, put it back in his pocket, and with a few kicks, separated the lynx carcass from the snow.

Then Wang An continued to hold the two little lynxes in his left hand, while dragging the lynx carcass with his right hand, and walked toward the sled.

Although this lynx had many injuries on her body, Wang An discovered after observation that there was still a large piece of good fur on the lynx.

In other words, this lynx's fur was still worth quite a bit of money; even if it wasn't a hundred, at the very least, several tens of yuan was no problem.

Money is something that Wang An would never have enough of, no matter how much he already possessed.

Wang An threw the dead lynx onto the sled and placed the two little lynxes beside the dead lynx; the two little lynxes subconsciously went to nurse.

But on the mother lynx's abdomen, besides the frozen intestines, where was there any milk?

Wang An couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he drove the sled toward home, pondering what to feed these two lynx cubs after returning home.

Galloping all the way, Wang An soon returned to his own courtyard.

Wang Yi and the two little sisters, who were running wildly outside, discovered that their big brother's sled had returned, so they ran toward Wang An quickly.

The two little sisters shouted while running, "Big Brother! Big Brother!"

Wang An put down the reins, picked up the two little sisters, one in each hand, kissed each of them, and said with a smile:

"Tell me, did you miss Big Brother, or did you miss delicious food?" The older sister, Wang Xiaomei, said, "Missed Big Brother, and missed delicious food too."

The younger sister, Wang Xiaoli, was more practical: "Big Brother, I missed delicious food."

Wang An burst into laughter, kissed each of them again, and then put the two little sisters down.

Wang An turned his head and found that Wang Yi had already picked up the two little lynxes and was teasing them with a face full of joy.

Although that more fierce little lynx was still baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

But the little lynx, which was not much bigger than a palm, truly didn't make people feel a shred of fear, besides making them feel it was cute and fun.

The two little sisters saw the little lynxes in their second brother's hands and immediately forgot about their big brother and the delicious food.

They shouted to Wang Yi with excitement, "Second Brother! Second Brother! Let me see, let me see!"

Wang An smiled and glanced at the three heads gathered together, then stopped paying attention, turned around, and unhitched the two horses from the sled.

When Wang An came out of the stable, the Wang Dazhu couple and Mu Xueqing had already moved everything from the sled into the house.

"Xiao An, did you pick up these lynxes?" Wang Dazhu asked as soon as Wang An entered the house.

"Yeah, I don't know if these two little lynx cubs can survive," Wang An answered casually upon hearing this.

One could see that the two little lynxes were now in the hands of Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing.

And Wang Yi and the two little sisters were standing beside them, constantly chattering:

"It's my turn to hold them."

"It's my turn to play with them for a while."

It was very obvious that everyone wanted to hold the little lynxes in their own hands.

Wang Dazhu looked at the two little lynxes and said with a smile, "This thing is easy to raise, it just needs to eat meat at every meal."

Liu Guilan, upon hearing this, didn't even lift her head and said, "Then feed them meat. It's not like our family doesn't have meat."

Mu Xueqing also looked at the two little lynxes and nodded without speaking.

One could tell that the whole family liked the two little lynxes very much.

Wang Dazhu looked at the mother lynx thawing in the stove pit and asked Wang An, "What's going on with this?"

Wang An then told them the process of the matter and his own guess.

After hearing this, Wang Dazhu let out a long sigh, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Wang An's guess was very close to the truth, so not only did Wang Dazhu show a sigh, but the expressions of Liu Guilan, Mu Xueqing, and Wang Yi also changed when they looked at the mother lynx.

Actually, whether it is humans or animals, protecting one's own cubs is an instinct.

But for animals, it is still very rare to see a lynx fight to the death for its cubs without retreating.

Because the vast majority of animals in the mountains "act according to their ability"!

In other words, when encountering a life-and-death crisis, the choice of the vast majority of animals is inevitably to abandon their cubs and flee.

Therefore, this behavior of the mother lynx is truly precious.

After a while, Wang An discovered that his family members were still surrounding the two lynxes, seemingly having forgotten what they were supposed to be doing.

And so, Wang An took out the White Rabbit milk candy from the sack and shouted loudly, "The White Rabbit milk candy is here! If no one eats it, I'll eat it myself."

One has to admit that for children, the power of White Rabbit milk candy is always infinitely great. The two little sisters immediately ran over, each holding a little lynx.

The most awesome thing was that the two little girls fed the milk candy to the little lynxes, and the little lynxes actually licked it up.
