The moment he entered the living room, Lin Xuan glanced over and saw the young Saker Falcon standing on the floor of the side bedroom.
Its round black eyes remained fixed on Lin Xuan when it saw him return.
"Little one, why did you come out from under the blanket?"
Seeing the young Saker Falcon on the floor, Lin Xuan hurriedly set the bag in his hand down and quickly walked inside.
"Gehe, gehe."
The young Saker Falcon made a sound when it saw Lin Xuan approach.
Coming up to it, Lin Xuan scooped it up from the floor and placed it back beneath the blanket.
"Little one, your body hasn't recovered yet. You can't move around carelessly, understand?"
After covering the young Saker Falcon with the blanket, Lin Xuan looked at Xiao Qing beside it. He reached out and stroked Xiao Qing's head, saying gently, "Xiao Qing, thank you for looking after the young Saker Falcon at home. You've worked hard."
"Hiss, hiss~"
"I bought some worms. Do you want some?"
"Food?"
At the mention of food, Xiao Qing's eyes lit up.
To get food for the young Saker Falcon earlier, Xiao Qing had crawled up and down everywhere. Now, hearing that there was food, Xiao Qing immediately felt a little hungry.
However, Lin Xuan had no idea whether Xiao Qing liked mealworms or not.
He took out a small paper cup, went to the living room, opened the lid, and used small tongs to pick out a tongful of mealworms and put them into the cup.
Back in the living room, he poured several mealworms onto the tabletop.
He wanted to see whether Xiao Qing liked this kind of bug.
Xiao Qing crawled up to the mealworms, looked them over, then opened its mouth and swallowed one.
They were not as delicious as meat, but there were plenty of mealworms, and they could still fill Xiao Qing's stomach.
The young Saker Falcon beneath the blanket saw Xiao Qing eating and began calling, "Gehe, gehe," as though it wanted more food too.
(Seriously? The young Saker Falcon had just eaten so much dried meat, and it was hungry again?)
(Did seeing Xiao Qing eat make it crave some too?)
(Haha, after Xiao Qing, has the streamer gotten another little foodie?)
"Little one, do you want some too?"
Hearing the young Saker Falcon's cries, Lin Xuan picked up a mealworm, brought it before the bird, and waved it around.
Watching the food in Lin Xuan's hand, the young Saker Falcon slowly opened its beak.
Lin Xuan placed the mealworm on the medical pad instead of feeding it directly into the young Saker Falcon's mouth.
After all, it was recovering well now. It could not keep living a life where food was handed straight to its mouth, could it?
One day, it would return to nature.
The young Saker Falcon looked at the mealworm on the medical pad, then immediately picked it up in its beak and swallowed it.
After feeding them, Lin Xuan fed Panda Cub once more.
Before leaving home, Lin Xuan had promised Xiao Qing that if it helped look after the young Saker Falcon, he would prepare fresh food for it when he returned.
So he took the young Saker Falcon, Xiao Qing, and Panda Cub with him as he left the house and headed into the deep forest.
When he was still more than a hundred meters away from Panda Mother, a bear's roar rang out in the distance.
Hearing it, Lin Xuan's expression changed. It was clearly Panda Mother's roar.
Had something happened?
(That bear roar just now seemed to have come from Panda Mother's location, right?)
(Yes, it came from Panda Mother's direction. Did something happen?)
(Please don't let anything happen to Panda Mother or the Panda Cubs!)
Lin Xuan was extremely anxious as well.
Panda Mother would not roar for no reason. She must have encountered some threat, which was why she had cried out.
In the forest, Lin Xuan ran with Panda Cub, Xiao Qing, and the young Saker Falcon.
When he was about ten meters from Panda Mother, Lin Xuan saw several wolves surrounding her!
The five wolves were medium-sized and well-proportioned, with long limbs and digitigrade feet suited for rapid running. Their heads and muzzles were pointed, their faces long, their snouts protruding, and their ears sharp and upright.
Their canines and carnassial teeth were highly developed. Their upper molars had distinct cusps, while their lower molars had a small inner cusp and a heel cusp. The diameter of their molar crowns was greater than the height of their outer incisors.
One of the wolves was larger than the other four, looking particularly imposing.
(Damn, they're wolves—and there are five of them!)
(Oh no, Panda Mother has encountered a wolf pack! What are they supposed to do?)
(Yeah, Panda Mother still has to protect her cubs. If it were only one wolf, it would be better, but there are five!)
(Streamer, what do we do?)
(Don't ask the streamer. There's nothing he can do in a situation like this.)
(Yeah, they're wolves—fierce wild beasts. If they're hungry, they'll only become even more vicious!)
(Even if the streamer goes to help Panda Mother, there might only be one outcome.)
(Why not slowly leave while the wolves haven't noticed you yet, streamer?)
Although they loved Panda Mother and the Panda Cubs, in a situation like this, they were even more worried about the streamer's life.
If he lost his life trying to save the panda family, that would be far too...
Besides, the streamer was alone. Even if he helped the panda family, his strength would probably be insignificant.
He might not only fail to accomplish anything, but lose his life as well.
Seeing that the five wolves had not attacked Panda Mother yet, Lin Xuan's worry did not lessen. Just because they were not attacking her now did not mean they would not attack later.
He slowly backed away, placed the young Saker Falcon on a tree branch, and hung Panda Cub's incubator there as well.
Then he held Xiao Qing in his hands. "Xiao Qing, I'm going to help Panda Mother. I'll leave the young Saker Falcon and Panda Cub in your care for now. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"Hiss, hiss~"
Xiao Qing coiled around Lin Xuan's arm, clearly unwilling to let him go over.
Although it was a snake, it understood danger too. Those were five fierce wolves. Even if Lin Xuan went over, he would not be able to help much.
He might even lose his life.
So it absolutely refused to agree.
It wrapped its body around Lin Xuan's arm, unwilling to let him leave.
"Be good and listen. I promised to look after the panda family. Now that they're in danger, how can I just stand by and watch?"
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I promised you I'd find you fresh food, remember?"
(Aww, streamer, don't raise a death flag.)
(Yeah, that's how it goes in TV dramas. The moment someone raises a death flag, they die.)
(Streamer, maybe you shouldn't go. There's no need to take such a risk.)
(Yeah, streamer, listen to us. Don't go.)
