MTL - Even If You Become An Animal, You Have To Serve An Iron Rice Bowl-Chapter 109
The road to the west is not easy, they need to pass through the territory of the tiger, and pass through the plain that is completely exposed to the vision of the golden eagle.
While preventing predators from preying on them, they also need to feed a family of ten.
Walking against the cold wind all afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.
Mother Fox began to look around, Dad Fox left the team again and again.
Finally, when the cold wind was raging, and the wolf howling was faintly heard in the distance, Father Fox brought back good news.
"There is an abandoned pothole ahead, where you can temporarily rest at night."
Mommy fox breathed a sigh of relief and took the whole family to the temporary hotel.
It is very dangerous to enter the forest at night, and the hunters who peep in the dark during the day begin to slowly emerge.
Shen Qiu heard the voice of snakes.
The timid cub has been frightened and cried.
Fox mom and dad didn't have time to soothe the cub's emotions, they picked up the slowest cub and started running.
And told the other cubs, "Do your best to catch up with us, otherwise there will only be a dead end."
Although Shen Qiu is the smallest, there is a human soul living in him after all, and he will not dare to run because of fear like other cubs.
After listening to Father Fox's advice, he quickly ran to the front.
The sky is getting darker and danger is coming, and they need to enter the potholes that can cover their bodies before night falls completely.
Hunger, fear attacked the nerves of the cubs in an instant.
But they didn't dare to stop, they could only make a cry of "嘤嘤嘤" while running at the fastest speed.
Shen Qiu tried his best to keep up with the fox father and fox mother, but he was too young, his physical stamina was a lot worse than that of an adult fox, and he was quickly pulled down a long way.
Fox dad stopped, turned back and anxiously called them.
The bark was full of urgency.
"Come on kids! Coming soon!"
Coming soon!
Shen Qiu saw the marmot emerging over there.
Smelling the foxes from a distance, the marmot hurriedly hid in the hole.
Fox dad first threw a cub into the dirt hole, then ran back and grabbed the exhausted Shen Qiu.
The limbs huddled together instinctively, Shen Qiu said thank you intimately.
Papa Fox whimpered, "You're welcome~"
Send Shen Qiu into the earth hole, and the fox father returned several times again, until all the fox cubs were sent into the hole and then lay down at the entrance of the hole to rest.
This earth hole was abandoned by the marmot, and there are still some dry grass in it, which is extra warm when it is born.
The cubs eased their frightened emotions before laying down and resting for a while.
The belly of each cub sang an empty city plan.
The boss circled his tail and called Dad, "I'm hungry."
Outside the cave, the night completely covered the earth, and countless animals that appeared at night began to go out for food.
They hid in the dirt hole and heard the screams and wailing of various animals in the forest.
Innumerable animals lost their lives in this dark night and became the meals of others.
There are countless lives that have survived because of this.
This is nature.
Papa fox crawled out of the cave, he looked around vigilantly, his voice shattered by the night wind, "I'm going out hunting, you all follow mom and don't run around, you know?"
The cubs responded.
The mother fox looked at the father fox worriedly.
"Be safe."
Fox mother whispered something, Fox father nodded and left without saying a word.
Shen Qiu climbed to the entrance of the cave and looked at the frail figure of Father Fox. The night wind was strong, and it swayed Dad Fox's body from side to side.
But he moved forward firmly. Just because he has a wife and children behind him.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and squinted his fox eyes to look outside.
The shadows of the trees swayed like ghosts.
He is counting the time.
Next month the fox mother will take them to predation training, after the autumn, learn how to hunt and survive, the fox mother will drive all the cubs out of the house, and then they will fend for themselves .
If you want to have an iron job, you must learn all the survival skills.
Count the time, there are at least five months.
In the end, the soul of an adult lives in his body, and the cub who has been opening his mouth for food is somewhat unhappy.
Especially in the case of a fox who wants to support the whole family.
If he really is a cub, he will definitely only think about when he can eat every day.
But he is not!
Shen Qiu turned over and let out a sigh on his belly.
The mother fox gave a faint glance.
"Don't sigh, little cub."
Shen Qiu’s stomach growled.
He ignored it and asked Mother Fox, "Mother Fox, can I learn to hunt in advance?"
Fox mother was very surprised, "Why?"
"I want to lighten the burden on Father Fox." Shen Qiu's words were sincere.
But the fox mother didn't take it seriously. The tail patted the cub's soft belly lightly, and the fox mother rubbed him with a pointed mouth.
"Dad would be very happy to hear this, but raising the cubs is the responsibility of the father and does not require the help of the cubs."
"You can rest assured that your parents will raise you all."
The bull's head is wrong.
Shen Qiu sincerely wanted to help Father Fox, but Mother Fox thought he was worried that Father Fox would not be able to feed them.
Shen Qiu: "…"
The fox sighs.jpg.
Forget it, when he arrived at the new home, he calmly persuaded the fox father and fox mother.
The fox family is anxiously waiting for the return of the fox father.
As time passed, the forest became more and more lively.
They have not waited for Fox to come back, but a lynx came first.
The other party should have come smelling the fox, and lowered his head to sniff the ground all the way.
Because the earth cave was not in the downwind direction, the fox mother did not notice it first, and when she found it, the lynx was already in front of her.
It flashed a pair of glowing eyes in the dark night, staring at the dirt hole.
The mother fox let out a shrill cry, urging the cubs to hide deeper.
The fox cubs have been taught to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. After hearing the warning of the fox mother, they all ran deeper.
The burrows of marmots are usually deep enough and the terrain is complex.
The marmots, which are generally hiding in the mud hole, cannot be caught by the best hunters.
Now the cave has become a temporary shelter for the foxes, and the cubs have burrowed to the bottom, and their tails are entwined with each other.
The fox mother also rushed to drill down before the lynx arrived, blocking the cubs.
The lynx is here.
It's starting to dig a hole.
From time to time dirt fell from the top of her head, Shen Qiu rubbed her eyes and began to worry about Father Fox.
I hope Fox Dad will not come back at this time, otherwise he will run into a lynx...
However, whatever comes to mind.
Shen Qiu's thoughts just fell, when a fox roar resembling a dog's barking suddenly came from a distance.
That's the sound the fox makes when it threatens the enemy.
Shen Qiu's heart throbbed.
It's Fox.
The lynx stopped digging the hole and turned to look when he heard the call of the father fox.
Shen Qiu couldn't see the scene outside, but just listened to Father Fox's roaring.
Soon, the lynx left the fox in the hole and ran to the left,
At that moment, my breathing almost stopped.
There are marmots screaming.
The sound stirred up the sleeping birds in the distant jungle, flapping their wings and flying into the night sky.
A feather floated down from the air, landed slowly in front of the earth hole, and was blown into the hole by the wind.
The cub's furry claws caught the black feathers.
The wind direction changed, and the cold wind brought a **** smell.
There are only the sound of their own breathing and the rapid heartbeat of everyone in the cave.
At this moment, including the mother fox, there was no sound.
They didn't dare to think about what happened to Father Fox.
Will the lynx already…
Shen Qiu couldn't sit still, he wanted to probe out to take a look, but he was held down by Mother Fox before he moved.
"Don't move."
Shen Qiu licked her mouth to speak, and the cold wind brought a familiar smell.
It's Fox!
The cubs are calling for their father.
The next second, Fox Dad appeared above the dirt hole, and quickly got in.
"Honey!"
Mommy fox immediately came over, kissed and posted, after confirming that dad fox was not injured.
Fox mother sighed in relief and asked, "Where's the lynx?"
"Run."
Fox dad is panting and tired.
Through his description, Shen Qiu and the others knew that the reason why Father Fox was outside for so long was because he caught four marmots and came back.
I didn't expect to see his wife and children in danger as soon as he came back. Fox Dad chose to lure the lynx away with food at the first time.
Four marmots are enough for a lynx.
They are all intelligent animals, and they know whether to fight to the death or die, or to trade with each other and be safe and sound.
The lynx left after eating the marmot, and the first danger of their westward journey was temporarily relieved.
After finishing speaking, Father Fox apologized, "It's just that we all have to go hungry tonight."
Fox dad rubbed the youngest cub Qiuqiu and put him in his arms.
"Tomorrow morning, Daddy will go find food for you."
Shen Qiu was of course hungry, but he could bear it, and he didn't want Dad Fox to go out in such a dangerous environment.
The little cubs are also sensible and have no objection.
A family of ten snuggled together, listening to the wind **** whistling outside, feeling the hunger of the stomach and slowly fell asleep.
Shen Qiu was awakened by hunger, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Father Fox staring at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing Shen Qiu open his eyes, he slapped Hache, apparently keeping the night for a long time.
After a while, Mother Fox also woke up.
But the fox dad didn't change shifts to sleep, but probed his brain out of the hole.
Dawn is officially here, and the animals that move in the dark have begun to return to their dens.
Fox is going hunting.
He wants to catch the right prey while everyone is home.
The first winds of the morning brought the message of the territory.
Without the smell of natural enemies, Fox Dad and Fox Mother greeted and left with a tired body.
The cubs were again anxiously waiting.
But it didn't take long this time. Father Fox came back half an hour later with two mice in his mouth.
The mouse has a faint breath and is obviously dying.
Smelling the aroma of food, the cubs crawled out of the dirt hole.
Perhaps aware of the danger, although the breath was weak, the mouse struggled to run as soon as it was put down.
Shen Qiu was the closest, when he saw this, he swooped and bit the mouse's head.
As soon as the teeth were strained, the neck snapped, and the mouse lost its breath.
Fox Dad is very pleased.
"The **** are beautifully dry."
The boss behind him whimpered, looked at his younger brother and his father, and suddenly rushed behind Shen Qiu and pressed Shen Qiu under him.
Shen Qiu didn't expect the boss to suddenly attack, and didn't react for a while. Seeing that he wanted to take the mouse away, he immediately understood that he was establishing his position as the boss and wanted to fill his stomach first.
Is there any reason to give out the food that is in the mouth?
Shen Qiu, who has been a red fox for more than a month, definitely denies it.
He turned his head and took a sip to the boss's mouth.
The boss ducked with an "Ow" in pain.
