Chapter 129
Chapter 127: (Two In One)
The figure of the little fox hurried out.
He ran so fast that he didn’t notice the fat fox’s stiff body instantly when he heard the sound.
The source of the sound is not far from where Shen Qiu is, and it takes a few minutes to get there.
He didn’t go out hastily, but looked around and found that the sound came from a pothole not far away.
There is a faint voice of someone talking.
Shen Qiu twitched the tip of her nose and sniffed, then stuck her head out to take a look.
The pothole appears to be deep and should contain at least two people and a beast.
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Qiu got closer, using the sound of the north wind blowing the leaves to cover up the rustling of the leaves he stepped on.
There is a conversation inside.
Shen Qiu listened, and probably understood: these two people came to travel, but they got lost with the army and were attracted by a reindeer.
Fall into the pothole with the reindeer when I came here.
This should be a trap dug by hunters in the past. The surrounding soil walls are full of withered weeds, and it can be seen that it has been abandoned for a long time.
Confirming the situation, Shen Qiu did not hesitate to press the alarm on his neck.
The alarm will transmit the alarm information to the nearest police station, and the police will call the police according to the location.
Shen Qiu didn’t move but squatted next to him and continued to guard to ensure that the positioning would not be wrong.
At this time, he remembered the fat fox and looked back, but saw nothing.
Somewhat confused.
The fat fox can even squat before he moves, why doesn’t he come now?
Give up?
It would be better if she gave up, Shen Qiu still likes to be alone.
He thought aimlessly, waited for about twenty minutes, and finally waited for the police to come.
As for the people in the trap, they tried to call for help from the beginning, but they probably got tired and stopped talking.
Shen Qiu took a peek in the middle, and found that the two were safe.
The police were led up the mountain by the staff of the Forestry Bureau. They thought it was a forest ranger who called the police, but they went to the place to take a look.
No rangers, only a red fox squatting on the ground.
The red fox is on the edge of the trap, exactly the same as the positioning.
The police and staff looked at each other.
“Anyone?”
The police shouted first, alerting the people in the trap, and immediately began to call for help.
The red fox ran away at this time, revealing the alarm hidden in the hair.
The young policeman showed disbelief, “Then…the alarm is actually on a fox?”
“Is the fox calling the police?!”
Compared to the shock of the young policeman, the other one was slightly older, and the staff of the Forestry Bureau quickly accepted the discovery.
The staff was rummaging for the tools in the bag while appeasing the emotions of the young couple in the trap.
I also talked to the young police about how smart the animals here are.
“And, if I’m not mistaken, the fox should be Ball.”
The young policeman turned his head in surprise.
“You still know? Are you released?”
The staff smiled and shook their heads, took out a ball of climbing rope and handed it to another policeman, and gave him a popular documentary about Qiuqiu and his glorious deeds.
The two policemen and the young couple in the trap were stunned.
“And such a smart fox, isn’t this a fine?”
Shen Qiu didn’t go very far, he watched as people and animals were rescued.
Both suffered leg injuries, but they didn’t look particularly serious.
The more serious thing is that animal, a reindeer.
After the staff simply stopped the bleeding, they hurriedly took people and reindeer down the mountain.
This brief rescue was soon over.
Shen Qiu watched them leave and turned back to the newly found territory.
He originally thought that the fat fox had left, but when he went to the place, he saw that the fat fox fell to the ground stiffly, and the fox was unconscious, and there was white foam flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Shen Qiu thought of various diseases in an instant, and at the same time quickly rushed over and arched the fat fox’s body with his sharp beak.
“Little fat? Little fat?”
The little fox barked twice.
The fat fox still didn’t move, Shen Qiu listened to his heartbeat.
It jumped very slowly, as if it was about to stop, and immediately pressed the alarm again.
The fat fox woke up at this time, he first glanced at Shen Qiu in a daze.
Then the stiff body slowly recovered, got up from the ground, and cleaned up.
His movements are very skilled throughout the whole process, as if he has done it thousands of times.
Shen Qiu frowned more and more deeply.
The fat fox has returned to normal, the tip of his nose swayed and sniffed, and suddenly walked in the direction of the trap.
The little fox came back to his senses, he didn’t say anything to stop him, he hesitated and then chose to follow.
The two reached the trap just now, and the **** smell of the reindeer made the nearby forest a little restless.
They can’t stay here too long to be safe.
“Little Fatty, what are you doing?”
Seeing that the fat fox came to the edge of the trap, and looked like he was about to jump down, the little fox hurriedly screamed for a while.
The fat fox turned back and purred at him, licked his lips, and looked into the trap with longing eyes.
He said the word “food”.
Food?
Reindeer blood?
But Shen Qiu soon realized that it was not, the fat fox was obviously looking at the rotting animal carcasses in the trap.
But foxes rarely eat rotting corpses unless they are too hungry to survive.
Especially the ones that are highly rotten and inedible at first glance.
There is something wrong with the fat fox.
Shen Qiu clearly realized this.
There are big guys in the jungle, and the north wind brings the smell of predators, so we can’t stay here.
The little fox glanced at the fat fox who had no intention of leaving, and couldn’t wait any longer.
Step forward and nuzzle it out of the place.
Shen Qiu did not go to the new territory, but brought the fat fox back to the old territory.
The fat fox looked unhappy, but when he arrived at the old territory, he asked cheerfully, “Is my brother going to live with me?”
The little fox shook his head and pointed to the hole dug by the fat fox, “Go back to your cave, this is mine, only I can live with a fox!”
He said it very seriously, the fat fox tilted his head and looked, his ears turned back, trying to act like a spoiled child.
Being seen by Shen Qiu in advance, Ba Ya let out a low roar of “Wang” to drive away the fat fox.
The fat fox lowered his body to admit his mistake, and reluctantly stepped back.
The little fox began to observe the fat fox’s every move.
The fat fox made him feel too strange, Shen Qiu always trusted his intuition.
So he returned to his old territory and decided to study the fat fox up close.
From this day onwards, Shen Qiu’s daily inspection time in the forest has been greatly reduced.
Maybe because of the cooler weather, few people went up the mountain, which gave Shen Qiu great convenience.
He has more time to watch the fat fox.
So he discovered all kinds of strange phenomena.
The fat fox sleeps a lot every day, from morning to night. Every time Shen Qiu went out, he would burrow into Shen Qiu’s cave and sleep.
Shen Qiu will be kicked out, and he will call his grandmother a little brother and leave obediently.
No matter how sleepy foxes are, they will hunt in the morning and night.
But not this fat fox.
He would sleep for a long time, until Shen Qiu wondered if he was in a dream before he got out of the cave.
He doesn’t hunt either, and every time he goes out, he will come back soon. In addition to various corpses, he brings back rotting wild fruits and various grains.
Looks like some mouse squirrel’s nest has been dug.
Shen Qiu had a big question mark in his head.
He couldn’t understand the fat fox more and more.
The fat fox is literally fat.
Foxes have sharp mouths, so after all, they shouldn’t have double chins, but fat foxes have them.
Foxes that live in the wild all year round are at most plump, no matter how fat they are.
As good as Shen Qiu’s food, she looks slender to the naked eye.
But the fat fox looks as big as two Shen Qiu to the naked eye.
A person with a bad eye would probably recognize him as a Samoyed.
None of the above says anything. What made Shen Qiu feel strange and wrong the most.
He obviously never hunts, and the food he eats is not nutritious and not much, why is he so fat?
Such a fat fox reminds Shen Qiu of people in the human world who are rapidly gaining weight due to various hormones.
However, this usually only happens to foxes. In order to have more fur, black-hearted traders feed foxes to fat and supplement various hormones.
But he is sure that the fat fox does have a familiar smell, and it must be a certain litter of children born to the fox mother.
Where do purebred wild foxes get hormones?
Shen Qiu is getting more and more confused.
According to the known situation, there is only one possibility: the fat fox was once bred in captivity and then rescued and released.
Watch the fat fox come back with another rotting bird carcass to eat.
Shen Qiu couldn’t stand it anymore, took the mountain mouse that was buried in the morning and threw it in front of the fat fox.
The fat fox was stunned for a moment, then happily bit the mountain mouse, and looked at Shen Qiu with a pair of fox eyes smiling like a crescent moon.
“Brother! Can I live with you?”
The fat fox has an inexplicable insistence on living with Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu shook his head and said no.
The fat fox was a little disappointed, but soon began to eat happily, without raising his head.
But…Shen Qiu had to eat two mountain mice to fill his stomach, and he stopped after eating only half of them.
“Why not?”
The fat fox squinted his eyes contentedly, flicked his tail, and then licked the blood on his mouth, “I’m full.”
The little fox widened his eyes, compared the fat fox and his body size, and then looked at the remaining mountain mouse, full of confusion.
What happened to the fat fox?
Sick?
The little fox sniffed around the fat fox in a circle, but smelled nothing.
There is no smell of disease, it should not be sick.
This is the first time that Shen Qiu has encountered such a bald thing. He scratched his head with his hind legs irritably, and turned back to the cave.
Although she still didn’t let the fat fox live with her after that, Shen Qiu still sent her unfinished food every day.
Otherwise he was really afraid that the fat fox would starve to death one day.
It’s getting colder.
The Anling Mountains in the north are much colder than the plateaus in the south.
A month after Shen Qiu settled here, a heavy snow fell in the entire Anling Mountains.
The heavy snow buried all the cameras set up by Xi Ye and others.
They went up the mountain once that day.
Shen Qiu is very used to them, even if she hears the movement, she just climbs to the hole to take a look.
Seeing that although they were shivering from the cold, but their ruddy faces seemed to be doing well, I felt relieved.
The picture of the little fox lying on his stomach and watching the snow is too healing.
The little fox looked up at the snow, and behind it was a forest covered in silver.
Xiye was very itchy, and wanted to take a few more pictures with the SLR.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge crimson thing running towards the little fox.
The frightened Xi Ye almost shouted and made Shen Qiu dodge.
When the voice was about to come out, Xi Ye still remembered that he was in the deep forest, shouting to call the beast, and quickly covered his mouth.
But she was terrified, for fear that the little fox would be attacked.
In the end, the little fox didn’t move. The huge animal rushed to the mouth of the little fox’s cave, slowed down, and drilled into the cave against the little fox’s side.
Xi Ye saw it clearly this time, it was the fat fox who robbed Shen Qiu Cave for the first time.
After watching the video, the little fox did not let the fat fox live together, but they got along well.
Fat foxes rarely appear on weekdays, so Xiye didn’t recognize them at a glance.
After confirming that there would be no danger to the little fox, Xi Ye heaved a sigh of relief, seeing the fat fox snuggling beside Shen Qiu, how beautiful he looked.
Suddenly I couldn’t see my teeth, I picked up the SLR and took a shot.
The fat and thin fox in the photo get along well, and the picture is extremely healing.
But Shen Qiu realized something was wrong the second the fat fox rushed over.
Outsiders may only think that the fat fox wants to grab territory again, or wants to stick with the same kind in winter.
But Shen Qiu was looking into the fat fox’s eyes and clearly saw it was frightened.
What are you afraid of?
Humans.
This is the first time the fat fox has shown such a situation in the past month, under the condition that the environment has not changed and there are no predators.
Shen Qiu can only think of this one reason.
The fat fox fears humans.
Shen Qiu was more certain of his previous conjecture.
The fat fox has been artificially raised, and it has caused serious damage to its psychology and behavior.
There is no way for him to live like a normal fox.
Suddenly, Shen Qiu remembered the time he saved people before.
At that time, the fat fox was in a coma and foaming at the mouth, which is most likely because of the smell of humans.
The picture of the fat fox’s past almost unfolded in Shen Qiu’s mind.
But looking at the shivering fat fox clinging to him, Shen Qiu always wondered if there was something else he had forgotten.
He frowned and thought about it, but he still couldn’t understand. There was still a while in the apprentice field, and he took the fat fox into the depths of the cave.
Then block the cave, as much as possible to block the human smell that comes in with the wind.
The fat fox has improved a lot, and his eyes are no longer blank.
It was lying in the soft cave and looked at Shen Qiu, as if nothing had happened just now, and the fox eyes were curved.
“Does my brother want to live with me?”
Shen Qiu recalled and found that the fat fox always seemed to be smiling and never showed any distressed expression.
He didn’t refuse this time, and agreed with the fat fox.
The fat fox is very happy, “Brother, don’t worry, I don’t eat much, my stomach is very soft, and you can sleep on my stomach.”
He crawled over and kissed Shen Qiu’s mouth intimately to show intimacy.
Shen Qiu did not hide.
The most important point is that the situation on the fat fox is so strange that he is vaguely uneasy.
Looking at the fat fox who was sleeping again, Shen Qiu felt a little anxious.
Fat fox…what the **** is going on.
The winter in the north of Anling is very cold, it snows every day, and animals are frozen to death every day.
Shen Qiu didn’t have to be too busy every time he went out to hunt, and he could find the prey that was frozen to death.
This allowed him to store a lot of food in another cave, enough for him and the fat fox to eat for a winter.
But Shen Qiu couldn’t be happy, and he didn’t even feel relieved.
As the snow fell day by day, things got worse for the fat fox.
He slept longer and deeper each day.
Usually it takes a long time for Shen Qiu to wake him up to eat.
And within a minute of waking up, I usually don’t know any foxes, let alone who I am.
It took a minute to get better.
This sleeper looks like some hibernating animals, but forgets everything and looks like sick.
Although there is no smell of disease on the fat fox, Shen Qiu decided to seek human help.
The mountain is covered by heavy snow, and humans must not be able to enter now. Shen Qiu decided to call the police as soon as the snow stopped.
But before he could call the police, something happened in the forest.
There was an earthquake-like movement from the depths of the forest, followed by the pictures of the few remaining birds flying away.
There are animal sounds coming from inside.
Shen Qiu listened carefully, it seems to be… a reindeer?
After a month of patrolling, Shen Qiu already knew which animals lived nearby.
There is a Siberian tiger on the top of the southern hill, but it is far away from them. In the deep forest, there are some animals such as sika deer, reindeer and sable.
The direction of the sound source is the reindeer wintering ground.
With such a big commotion, something must have happened.
Shen Qiu jumped up and almost hit the top of the cave.
Glancing at the sleeping fat fox, Shen Qiu took a deep breath and turned around and ran.
He followed the voice to the reindeer wintering grounds, and he had already foreseen more serious consequences.
It was snowing heavily, and the whole forest was covered with thick snow.
The fox jumps and jumps in the snow, often jumping to the place where the snow is thicker, and is almost buried.
Then he learned to be smarter, and he specially found places with rocks to jump, and his speed was much faster.
Before he got to the place, Shen Qiu first smelled the smell of human beings in the air, and… the smell of blood.
The worst has happened.
The reindeer herd was poached.
Reindeer herds have always been coveted by poachers because of their fur and antlers.
Reindeer are also among the most hunted by poachers around the world.
This is one of the reasons why he chose to live here.
It’s just that he didn’t expect poachers to go up the mountain in this heavy snowy weather.
Aren’t they afraid of being trapped in the snow?
At this time, Shen Qiu had no time to think about how an experienced poacher could enter the mountain at this time and put himself in a dangerous situation.
He rushed to the edge of the reindeer herd’s territory.
First I saw snow tents and pots and pans all over the place.
At this time, Shen Qiu realized that something was wrong.
The poachers basically bring their own dry food when they go up the mountain. Why do they bring so many utensils for cooking?
On a closer look, there are seasoning tapes in the tent.
Not poached?
The little fox has a momentary circle.
Soon a voice is heard coming this way.
Looking around, hid behind a pile of snow.
A man and a woman came, one holding a pot of bright red blood, the other holding a strangely shaped antler.
Shen Qiu’s heart suddenly ‘squeaked”.
Shen Qiu saw the faces of the two.
I’m still an acquaintance.
The little couple he saved from the trap a month ago!
The little fox widened his eyes and almost exclaimed in surprise.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and covered his mouth with his little paw.
What happened to this little couple?
Before he could understand, another person came behind them.
They walked over with venison in their hands talking and laughing, and saw the young couple.
One of them put blood on the shoulders of the young couple man with praise.
“Okay, brother, if we say let’s eat venison, we will eat venison, it’s still wild!”
“What else can’t you do?”
The man smiled and stabbed his companion with his elbow.
“Okay, don’t be rude, I’ve accepted all your compliments to me, and now I’ll concentrate on cooking.”
“It’s so cold, it’ll all freeze if you don’t finish it.”
After he finished speaking, several people started to get busy.
Shen Qiu counted it, there were six people in total, two of them were couples, and the leader seemed to be the man in the couple that Shen Qiu rescued before.
When they heard the praise of their companions, although they said it very modestly, they told Shen Qiu that they were proud.
What are you proud of?
I ate wild reindeer.
The little fox gritted his teeth, watched them skin the venison and cramped the venison, and immediately pressed the alarm button.
Almost at the same time, the boy in the young couple looked up in the direction of Shen Qiu.
“Did you hear that?”
“What?”
His companion is unknown.
“The sound of the alarm.”
His girlfriend looked around in disbelief, and there was nothing but white snow all around.
“You heard it wrong, it’s snowing heavily now, how could the ranger come to the deep forest.”
The man shook his head, his brows were still frowning, staring at the direction where Shen Qiu was hiding, “You forgot, last time we fell into a trap, it wasn’t a forest ranger who saved us, but a fox .”
The companions seemed to be interested when they heard this.
“Is that the protagonist of the documentary that the staff of the Forestry Bureau recommended you to watch? I watched it before and didn’t think the fox was so amazing. Could it be deliberately created?”
The man shook his head, “It’s not like that, but let’s be careful. If the fox really calls the police, we’ll have a big problem.”
Others, look at me, I look at you, the man with the knife cutting the venison suddenly walked in the direction of Shen Qiu.
“Yes, let’s see if you don’t.”
