MTL - Even If You Become An Animal, You Have To Serve An Iron Rice Bowl-Chapter 123 (first update)
At this time, Shen Qiu was glad that Dad Fox's speed training made him not at a disadvantage now.
After running for a few more minutes, the herdsmen behind him were still reluctant, and Shen Qiu vaguely heard a dog barking.
The fox looked back with round eyes, and found that the herdsmen had even let the dogs out.
For a moment, speechless, the little fox looked around, the grassland was endless, and the red fox running on it was a living target.
I turned to look at the house where the herdsmen lived, and bit my teeth into one of the alleys.
The alleyway was dark, Shen Qiu only cared about running, and didn't pay attention to other things. When he was caught by the net, there was no chance to escape.
"Shh! Don't bark."
The man said in a breathy voice.
Shen Qiu paused.
Feeling the fox stop struggling, the other party said with joy, "Can you understand little fox? Don't scream, I'm here to save you."
Shen Qiu hesitated and did not move.
The man was even more delighted, holding the fox's mouth firmly with one hand, and picked up the five-kilogram little fox with the other and got into a door.
He was a little surprised, but he understood after turning his head around.
I just thought it was strange that the poaching was so high-profile.
Now that is poaching, it is clearly the herdsmen here.
The conflict between herdsmen and prairie wolves from ancient times to the present is nothing more than the herdsmen occupying grasslands and driving away herbivores.
The coyote has no food and can only hunt the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen.
This is how the conflict arose, so the herdsmen began to organize people to hunt wolves.
He happened to come across this wolf hunt.
As for this young man, it is estimated that he does not agree with wolf hunting, but he has no right to speak.
Seeing that the young man found a rope, the little fox did not move.
"I tap, but you're not allowed to call!"
The little fox blinked in agreement.
The young man put a rope on the fox lightly to make sure it would not be bitten before putting the fox on the ground.
As soon as it was put down, the door was slammed, and the young man changed his face and hid the fox in the grain pile in the yard.
The little fox repeatedly told the little fox not to make a sound before opening the door.
Shen Qiu pricked up his ears and listened. Outsiders asked the young man if he had seen a fox. After getting a negative answer, he quickly left to go to another house and knock on the door.
Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man closed the door and came in. He saw that the little fox didn't move like he did just now, and his expression was very complicated.
"You're so smart, if only those coyotes were as smart as you."
The little fox's eyes flashed.
The young man sighed, probably because he had been suppressed for a long time and no one told him, he was actually talking to a fox about his thoughts.
The situation tonight was similar to what Shen Qiu had guessed.
The areas grazing by pastoralists continue to invade the territory of herbivores.
Finally, one day the herbivores did not have enough grass to fill their stomachs, so they chose to move.
And on this plateau lived not only herbivores and herders, but also carnivores.
Fox family, hozen, snow leopard, coyotes and other carnivores live on these herbivores.
Foxes and hozens as well as marmot voles and snow rabbits are used as food sources.
However, snow leopards and coyotes are serious predators, and their food lists have always included many large herbivores.
The coyote is even worse.
Wolf is a group animal, usually there are at least four when they appear, and four wolves eat a lot of prey in a day.
What's more, the wolf group has grown and expanded over the long term. Now there are as many as four groups of prairie wolves in this plateau, and each group has at least ten members...
This is a terrifying number, both for herdsmen's cattle, sheep and herdsmen.
The herdsmen here are not nomads. They rely on this grassland to feed their cattle and sheep in winter and summer, so they cannot move away, but can only solve the problem from the root cause.
All of the above led to today's late night wolf hunt.
After the young man finished speaking, he sighed again, with a dazed expression on his face, and his tone was full of puzzlement.
"You said... It's obviously that we occupy the living territory of animals, why do they still blame animals for everything in the end?"
This is a very heavy issue, but if you really want to care about it, it's just a word of interest.
The herdsmen let cattle and sheep invade the territory of herbivores, which harms the interests of herbivores, so they choose to leave.
The departure of herbivores hurts the interests of carnivores, so carnivores turn their minds on humans.
And the behavior of carnivores harms the interests of human beings, which leads to their disgust and hunting.
The little fox also sighed with a long sigh, and the look of sadness made the depression in the young man's heart swept away.
I couldn't help but touched the little fox's head, he said, "Actually, I really want to be a forest ranger, I have a distant cousin who is a forest ranger, I heard him say that he would go to patrol the forest every day , I can see a lot of small animals."
"I've loved animals since I was a kid."
The young man's eyes revealed yearning, and the sound of wooden warehouses and wolf howls were vaguely heard outside, which stained this yearning with a little sadness.
Suddenly, a sharp siren cut through the wolf howls resounded in the sky on this side.
The little fox, who was lying on the ground and looked immobile, immediately jumped up and down.
Then very skillfully used his claws to pull the rope off his mouth, turned his head and ran towards the gate.
The young man's eyes widened, a little suspicious that he was dazzled.
Shen Qiu walked to the door and glanced at the high door bolt and looked back at the young man.
The little fox stomped and barked at him.
"Hurry up!"
The young man walked over and stood in front of him in a trance, looking at the door latch and at the spirited little fox.
Mouth slightly opened: "So... you just lied to me."
The little fox twitched its tail and looked at him innocently.
What are you talking about, he is just a little fox and doesn't understand anything.
The young man can only open the door when he laughs.
The door just opened a crack, and the little fox rushed out like a red lightning.
Following the sound of the siren, the little fox rushed to the police car very quickly without stopping.
The police car just stopped at the entrance of the village, Serenity and Xu Heng got out of the car, and at a glance they saw the familiar red jumped on the front of the car.
Some villagers heard the siren and came out to look, and when they saw the fox on the police car, their eyes were round.
Shen Qiu flicked her tail and rushed towards seriousness.
"Walk around! Follow me! I'll take you to the crime scene!"
The little fox dragged his serious sleeves to the distance.
Seriously looked at the grassland under the night, and asked Xu Heng and another colleague to ask the herdsmen first.
Then asked the little fox, "Lead the way?"
Shen Qiu jumped off the front of the car to go, and another car stopped behind the police car.
The car door opened, and a familiar voice came, "Officer Yan! You are really right, you can really find the ball with you!"
It's Xi Ye, let's see who the other two carrying cameras are, not Deng Bo and Zhang Yaoyang.
Why are they here?
The little fox popped up a row of question marks.
But the matter at hand is more urgent, the little fox did not care too much and led the way.
See the seriousness to keep up and run immediately.
The police came sooner than expected, and the herdsmen didn't have time to cover up in advance, so they climbed over the hills, and the smell of blood came out.
The coyote corpse lying on the ground came into view.
The headlights of the motorcycles of the herdsmen illuminated this place like daylight, allowing them to see the scene more clearly.
Bright red to dazzling blood snaked across the grass, dyed the tip of the grass with yellowish redness, and the countless coyote corpses almost stinged the eyes of everyone at the scene.
Xi Ye and others saw such a large-scale hunting scene for the first time, which can be said to be extremely shocking.
The three of them stared wide-eyed for a while, unable to return to their senses.
until he frowned seriously, took out his mobile phone and called the Forestry Bureau and the police station respectively.
The three returned to their senses, and the first time they pointed the camera at the scene.
Xi Ye took the little fox, and the camera moved for a moment.
He saw an emotion called wailing in the eyes of the fox in the camera, and immediately stopped.
But when he wanted to watch again, the little fox was back to normal.
The silent plateau soon welcomed batch after batch of guests.
The villagers who participated in the hunting were all taken back to the police station.
And the newly grown red fox, with its excellent sense of smell, led the Forestry Bureau and the police to find one after another of coyote corpses.
There are so many corpses that cannot be left on the grassland, and the people from the Forestry Bureau will restrain themselves and take them away for regular processing.
And the prairie wolves that are still alive will also be treated.
After processing these adult wolves, the sky has faintly glowed.
It's almost dawn.
The little fox looked up at the sky, the tip of his nose twitched, sniffing the smell farther away.
This is a plateau, which means that the coyotes mate later than the plains.
It is now the end of September, and almost all of the cubs in this area are born around June.
It's only three months old now.
This is also the reason why the herdsmen choose to hunt wolves at this time.
After hunting the adult wolves, they can find the wolf's lair with more confidence, and find the young wolf and throw it to death.
Shen Qiu sighed heavily, turned his head and called Serenity to continue walking.
They climbed over two hills one after another and stopped on a steep dirt slope.
The smell of wolves is concentrated around here, and the cubs are here.
Seeing the fox stop, Serenity instantly understood what he meant.
This is the heart-to-heart between one person and one fox after several cooperation.
Serious and other people did not go forward, but made a phone call and waited for the people from the Forestry Bureau to deal with it.
The prairie wolves are almost dead and wounded, and even if there are survivors, they will not return to this lair.
Then these little wolves that do not have the ability to protect themselves will be particularly dangerous. Large predators such as snow leopards will follow the smell and eat the young wolves.
People from the Forestry Bureau were busy taking away the wolf cubs, and the herdsmen who participated in the hunting were also brought back to the police station.
Shen Qiu was hugged seriously and was about to leave.
But before leaving, the young man stopped the police car.
He looked at Serenity with a hesitant expression, opened and closed his mouth for a while, then glanced at the little fox on Serenity's lap before gritting his teeth, "Uncle Police, I want to be a forest ranger, what can you do? "
Seriously, it is the first time I have encountered such a straightforward expression of my demands.
Stunned for a moment, then chuckled, he copied down a call.
"This is the phone number of the Anling Forestry Bureau. If you think clearly and get the consent of your family, you can contact them."
The young man happily took it and gave a non-standard salute with a wide-eyed smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Police."
The car drove, Shen Qiu saw the simple and sincere smile on the young man's face through the rearview mirror.
In stark contrast to the faces of the pack of wolves last night.
