Chapter 43: Shattered Image
From the glacial lake to the floating ice layer, and then back to the glacial lake, encountering seals in the middle, and then completing the hunt.
It was already the evening of the second day when Caesar dragged the seal meat back to the glacial lake. Fortunately, the Arctic weather was cold and the meat would not deteriorate.
Guo Mi took advantage of Caesar's absence to let the two little bears have fun. The two little fur balls had not been so close to Guo Mi by the lake for a long time. They ran around Guo Mi in circles, and finally nestled next to Guo Mi and ate deliciously. Catching the fish.
Salmon took this opportunity to learn how to swim with Fish Bone and Guo Mi.
Although Guo Mi was also half-assed, he would not sink in the lake and could barely teach two little furballs.
I have to say that polar bears are really talented. Obviously, the two cubs have never learned to swim, and Fishbone has never been in the water. After a while, they can swim freely in the water. They look better than Guo Mi. Be more proficient.
Now even Guo Mi had to sigh that some things are really engraved in genes through thousands of years of evolution.
When Caesar came back with the half seal in his mouth, the two bear cubs were still enjoying the rare family time with Guo Mi. When they saw the male bear coming back, they were immediately frightened and returned to their hiding place. .
Guo Mi turned around and saw a look of reluctance in his eyes. She thought Caesar was not planning to come back.
Caesar pretended not to see her eyes, dragged the seal meat in front of Guo Mi, and asked:
"Were you waiting for me by the lake yesterday?"
Guo Mi : "..."
I know it must be impossible.
Caesar had expected this and was still a little disappointed, but he didn't care about it. He lowered his head and cupped the seal meat in front of Guo Mi:
"You eat this."
He was absolutely confident that as long as Guo Mi tasted the seal, the fish would definitely not be so interested.
Unexpectedly, Guo Mi took two steps back and refused!
Caesar was a little anxious:
"Listen to me, fish is really not delicious, and there will be no fish on the island in summer."
Guo Mi lamented in her heart that she really didn't want to stay on the island because she liked eating fish.
Besides, who said fish is not a good thing? During the annual salmon migration, the salmon caught are high in fat and have a sweet taste, which is much better than the fish caught in the Arctic.
Guo Mi decided to speak more clearly:
“Caesar, I don’t like to eat fish. I can’t stay on an ice floe drifting with the current. That would be very uncomfortable for me. A sense of security.”
This reason is too difficult to understand for polar bears who have been living on ice floes, and the doubts in Caesar’s eyes are about to turn into reality!
Guo Mi sighed and explained:
"Caesar, I'm not good at swimming. The ice floes are too dangerous for me."
Sometimes you can solve many problems without playing riddles. Being willing to communicate can reduce many misunderstandings.
This is true at any time and for any object.
No matter what happens, at least don't keep silent to avoid being misunderstood.
The reason why she didn't want to tell Caesar that she was a brown bear was because there is a saying among humans, "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts." There is a certain truth in what has been passed down from generation to generation, so Guo Mi remained vigilant.
As for not being able to swim, Caesar had probably seen it when Xia Tian taught her, so there was no point in hiding it.
Caesar was stunned. He had thought of many reasons but never thought of it because of this.
So it turns out that she and another female bear were not playing in the water that day, but learning to swim? !
You’ve grown so big and you’re still learning to swim? !
Caesar was confused for a moment, but Guo Mi's mystery in his eyes increased even more!
However, he still felt that the difficulty could be overcome, and stubbornly patted the seal meat on the ground with his paw:
“You eat this.”
Guo Mi was silent, She didn't know whether the male bear understood it or not. In the end, he did as he wished. He lowered his head and tore off a piece of meat from the prey he brought back and started chewing it.
Caesar looked at the round-faced Plate Bear's slow chewing movements for a moment, and then began to speed up, and his eyes seemed to be shining, and he felt steady for an instant:
"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Guo Mi chewed the meat in his mouth. It was indeed not bad. It was much chewier than fish meat. The most important thing was that it was rich in fat.
Especially the smell of fresh flesh and blood. She didn’t know how long it had been since she had eaten such meat. The last time she ate it, she caught an elk in the forest.
After being caught in the zoo, the place was not in compliance with the regulations and was not willing to feed her good food. The meat given to her every day began to lose its smell.
Caesar pushed the meat forward again:
"Eat more."
Guo Mi was very happy about this, but he had no shame in eating what he caught.
Caesar has already eaten so many of her fish, isn't he allowed to eat some back?
Those two little fur balls are still growing, and the fish meat can’t support them for much longer.
Guo Mi's good mood after eating the delicious food gradually dissipated, and her doubts began to arise. Maybe she really needed to take two little fur balls on the ice floe?
Caesar sat next to him and watched Guo Mi eat. He was originally happy to see her eating big mouthfuls, but in the end he found that her chewing movements were getting slower and slower, and her eyes were filled with a bit of sadness, and she immediately felt uneasy. .
What's going on?
Has the meat gone bad?
Caesar lowered his head and put his nose in front of the meat and smelled it. Well, it smelled like a normal seal.
What happened?
Just as I was thinking about it, I looked up and saw two little heads behind the snow hill.
It turned out that the little bear could not hold back the smell of seals and secretly stretched out his head to take a look.
Caesar was instantly numb, thinking that Guo Mi would feed the prey he dragged back to the two cubs, right?
The male bear's heart suddenly became unbalanced. Unable to hold back the bad elements in his heart, he said slyly:
"Actually, the cubs taste the same as seal meat. If you like it, Just eat those two little cubs..."
Guo Mi stopped chewing, closed his eyes and took two deep breaths. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and went up with his paw!
Caesar had expected it, but somehow he didn't hide. Finally, he covered his nose and let out an "ouch", and immediately began to roll on the ground and show off:
"How can you pay back the food I found for you?" Hit me, you too So cruel!"
Guo Mi was annoyed when he saw him like this. Just as he was about to raise his paw and hit him twice, a hesitant voice suddenly came from beside him:
"...Caesar ?”
Guo Mi stopped waving his paw downwards, raised his head suddenly, and found that another male bear had appeared on the hillside at some point.
A little smaller than Caesar, but only a little. There were flesh-colored scars on his brown nose. He was looking down at them, with shock and hesitation on his face.
No matter what, this is another male bear. As long as it is a male bear, it is a huge hidden danger to the bear cubs. Guo Mi immediately put on an attack stance and bared his teeth towards the unfamiliar male bear!
This male bear knows Caesar, so it is inevitable that Caesar will not reveal his true colors.
He has always disliked the two bear cubs. He could have taken the opportunity to stop her and let the other bear attack the cubs. This would not be considered a breach of his promise.
Thinking of this, Guo Mi immediately labeled Caesar a "dangerous element"!
Just when I was about to turn around and be alert, I turned around and saw that the male bear, who had just been fooling around on the ground, had become stiff and his limbs were still waving wildly.
This is it?
This state was unexpected by Guo Mi. She asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong with you?"
Caesar seemed to wake up from a dream, but soon he rolled up and sat up as if he had seen something terrifying. However, he did not dare to look in the direction of the strange male bear. Instead, he turned his back and sat upright!
Guo Mi opened his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Caesar's dry voice:
"Say quickly, tell him quickly, he admitted his mistake, there is no one named Caesar here. Bear!”
