3. Chapter 03
Well……
Ji Xiaoou held the thermometer a little at a loss. Why did it react so much? Do you don’t like it?
But when she took her temperature at home for a short time, she didn't see the cat resisting it. She didn't understand, so she sent the thermometer forward. This time, before she touched the leopard's body, it quickly turned forward, kicked the uninjured hind leg, swept the thermometer in Ji Xiaoou's hand to the ground.
Ji Xiaoou reacted in time and let go quickly, so he was not kicked.
The little leopard stood in front of her with a breath, gritting her teeth and staring at her fiercely.
It looks a bit like anger.
Ji Xiaoou sat cross-legged under the tree, and the leopard stood in front of her, with each person and leopard staring at her big eyes.
After a while, Ji Xiaoou tilted his head and finally understood the situation, "You... don't you like taking your body temperature?"
The little leopard changed his gaze and glanced at the thermometer that fell into the grass, with a very bad look.
Okay, if you don’t like it, don’t measure it. Ji Xiaoou is easy to talk about. His body temperature is indeed a fever. He only measures his body temperature to determine how many degrees. Since it is so rebellious, then use alcohol to cool it down first.
Ji Xiaoou dipped some alcohol in the medicinal cotton, but began to get into trouble.
It is only useful to wipe the alcohol on the meat pad. According to the reaction of the leopard just now, will it still make her touch it?
She reached out and raised it tentatively to the little leopard, scratching its chin as if it was usually a joke.
The little leopard didn't move, his deep blue eyes turned slightly, and his eyes fell on the cotton in Ji Xiaoou's hand.
"This is a medical medicinal cotton, dipped in alcohol to cool you down. You are now hot..." For some reason, facing these eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Ji Xiaoou always involuntarily wanted to explain.
The little leopard did not resist this time, and I don’t know if he understood her words or used up his last bit of strength.
Ji Xiaoou successfully carried it into his arms, avoided its wounds, and held its limbs one by one to wipe the flesh pads in its palms one by one.
The meat pads of cats are all pink, and leopards are no exception.
There is a brown scar in the middle of the cushion on the left front paw of the little leopard, almost running through its entire palm.
The scar is long and deep, very eye-catching, and I guess I was seriously injured at that time.
Ji Xiaoou resisted the urge to touch and told himself that this leopard is not easy to mess with, unlike her family.
When it is unhappy, it can bite itself to death even if it is injured.
After wiping the alcohol, Ji Xiaoou took out a towel and went to the stream to wash it.
It was just autumn, and the stream water was cool at this time, so it was not enough to apply ice, but it was better than nothing.
Ji Xiaoou folded the wet towel and put it on the little leopard's belly, and went to the stream to wash it again every ten minutes.

After all this, Ji Xiaoou finally had a rest.
She didn't eat breakfast in the morning and ran away for two hours in fear. Later, she was busy treating the wound of the leopard. She felt hungry now.
Ji Xiaoou turned around, buried her head in her backpack, and quietly looked at the food stored in the "space".
She still felt incredible, but she slowly accepted the setting. If there was no space, maybe she was bitten to death by a beast under the tree last night.
She counted the supplies in the space. In addition to what she saw before, there were two bags of rice, two bags of flour, five boxes of instant noodles, five boxes of milk, ten boxes of mineral water, several bags of jerky, two boxes of Dove chocolate and two buckets of Snickers, fresh beef and seafood sealed with ice, as well as various snacks and dried fruits...
Ji Xiaoou noticed yesterday. After a whole night, the ice cubes used to keep the beef fresh did not melt at all. The seafood is the same, and it is still in fresh color. It is like a pure natural cold storage.
Time in space seems to flow very slowly, so there is no need to worry about expiration and deterioration.
After counting the ingredients, what is left is daily necessities.
Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, pans, stove air tanks, barbecue racks, and other these are all. There are also telescopes, sunscreen sunglasses, shampoo, shower gel, quick-drying towels and thermos cups... The things the students brought were mixed, and Ji Xiaoou touched them casually and even took out a selfie stick.
Ji Xiaoou sorted out the things and left a bag of jerky, a bag of cereal, two boxes of milk and a bag of instant noodles.
She took out a small pot from the set of pot, went to the stream to scoop half a pot of water, returned to the stream to set up the gas tank and stove, then placed the small pot on the stove, turned on the switch, and started boiling water.
A light blue flame suddenly rose, and in a short while, the sound of boiling water boiling from the pot was heard.
The little leopard lying quietly beside him raised his eyes and stared at the stove silently, with a faint look on his face, and his front paws pressed against the ground with force.
Ji Xiaoou was completely unaware of this.
Ji's father is an outdoor sports enthusiast and stores many outdoor sports equipment at home, so Ji Xiaoou is not unfamiliar with these. After boiling the water, she tore open the instant noodles packaging bag, put the dough into boiling water, poured the seasonings, and stirred with chopsticks.
Taking advantage of this, she cut the milk box open, drank a little by herself, then poured the whole bag of cereal into the milk and placed it in front of the little leopard.
"You are injured now, it is better to drink more milk, which is good for healing wounds. There is also beef jerky here, and I will cut it apart in a while and you can eat it." After not talking to anyone for two days, Ji Xiaoou could chatter at a leopard. She admired her ability to adapt.
The little leopard drank a box of milk yesterday, but she didn't resist. She took her eyes back from the stove and buried her head in drinking milk.
Ji Xiaoou also opened a box for himself, took two sips, and when he met, he almost cooked it, so he turned off the heat and served it.
I only ate two pieces of chocolate a day yesterday, and now I finally have a few bites of hot food. Although it was just a simple cooking noodles, she felt very satisfied.
After she finished her stutter, she saw that the leopard opposite her had almost eaten.
The beef jerky packaging bag was torn and thrown aside by it, and it was eaten clean.
Ji Xiaoou was worried that the aroma of the food would attract the wolf pack just now, so she hurriedly put away the pot and bowls, washed them by the stream, and put them back into the space with the gas tank stove. The gas tank and the stove were not large in size, and even if it was stuffed into the bag, it would not appear abrupt. She did not avoid the little leopard.
The leopard looked at Ji Xiaoou's exquisite and compact backpack.
After a while, I moved my eyes and moved to the busy girl opposite me.
Ji Xiaoou was unable to find a place to throw garbage in the moment, and could not throw it in the forest casually, so he dug a hole and buried the milk box and packaging bag under the soil.
After burying her, she raised her hand and rubbed the sweat beads on her cheeks, and a dirty gray mark hung on her face.
She probably realized it, so she got up and went to the stream to wash her face. Her long eyelashes were covered with water droplets, her eyes were bright and bright, her skin was white, and her face was smooth. Unlike animals, she was covered in hair, she was delicate.
Ji Xiaoou walked back to the leopard, her cheeks were red from the sun, and she looked at it without blinking.
The little leopard took two steps back and looked away as if nothing had happened.
Ji Xiaoou took off the towel wrapped around its belly and touched the meat pad in its palm. The temperature was a little lower than before. It would be no big problem to give it medicine again at night.
*
Opposite the stream is a towering and continuous mountain range with a high top that goes straight into the sky.
Ji Xiaoou remembered that she fell from the mountain, and climbed up from here and could return to a familiar place.
She planned to treat the little leopard's wound and go up the mountain, but after the treatment was done, she looked down at her watch and found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
If she went up the mountain at this time, it would be early in the morning when she climbed to the top of the mountain.
At that time, there was no one on the top of the mountain, and it was not safer than here.
After thinking about it, Ji Xiaoou decided to stay here for another night and set off again tomorrow morning.
Ji Xiaoou carried the little leopard into his arms and looked at the stream in front of him.
The stream is turbulent and sandwiched between forests and mountains. If you think about the other side, you must cross this stream.
She picked up a piece of dead branches on the shore, reached into the water to explore the depth of the water, and took it out to compare with her calves. The water flowed was not deep and it just passed her calves.
Ji Xiaoou wore beige wide-leg pants, which rolled to his calves effortlessly, and hugged the little leopard and slowly flowed to the other side step by step.
The other side is also a trace of a primeval forest, but the trees grow more gently, not as arrogant and domineering as the trees on the opposite side.
The sun is bright and lush here, which makes people feel relaxed and happy for no reason.
What made Ji Xiaoou even more happy was that she saw several familiar trees here.
There are a few cloud fir trees in front of them, a row of water willows grow on the left, and there are camphor trees, oak trees, and birch trees in the deepest...
Finally I saw a trace of something she was familiar with!
In this way, I became more convinced that Ji Xiaoou could find his teachers and classmates by climbing to the top of the mountain.
However, Ji Xiaoou did not lose his mind. After walking in the forest for more than an hour, he found a not-so-low hillside. It was hidden, backed by the mountain, and was covered by a large tree with lush branches and leaves. Wild beasts usually cannot find it. They can rest here at night.
At around five o'clock, Ji Xiaoou put anti-inflammatory medicine on the little leopard again and fed it milk soaked cereal and beef jerky. Because she ate late at noon, she was not very hungry, so she only drank a box of milk, took out a sleeping bag from the space and put it in, ready to wait for "darkness".
At 6 o'clock, the forest fell into darkness on time.
Ji Xiaoou still couldn't understand the natural phenomena here, but forced herself not to think about it anymore. She turned her head and saw that the little leopard next to her had already fallen asleep. She thought about it and took out a knitted blanket from the space and covered it with it.
The dark clouds are heavy at night, and there is no star in the sky.
The next morning, just dawn, the little leopard opened his eyes and saw that the sleeping bag was gone, the blanket was gone, and the milk box was gone.
Even Ji Xiaoou disappeared completely.
The spotted leopard slowly stood up and looked at the place where Ji Xiaoou had lying last night. It seemed to suddenly remember something. It turned its head and looked at the injured hind leg.
The gauze on the top was clean, and it looked like it was just changed this morning. It was as always tied with a dazzling bow.
