Chapter 69 Do you want to eat worms?
The two bears walked one behind the other. Caesar stopped several times and wanted to talk to Guo Mi, but he was afraid that he would say something wrong, so in the end he could only continue walking forward in frustration.
Slok's words are still echoing in his ears:
"Caesar, can you speak properly? If you can't, just don't say it at all. It's much better to keep your mouth shut than to say the wrong thing! ”
Caesar has always wanted to say something when he has grown up. If other bears don’t understand, his paws can make them listen again.
So he can't tell which words are good and which are bad.
Although he once asked Slok what he could and could not say, the stupid bear told him, "Just think about what you don't want to hear, then don't say it to Guo Mi." .
However, the bear who talked to him the most was Slok. He didn’t want to hear anything this stupid bear said!
As for the other bears who had spoken to him, there were some, but there were so few that he couldn’t even remember what they said.
The final outcome is now. The male bear can only shut his mouth tightly, fearing that he will say something he shouldn't and make Guo Mi turn around and leave on the spot.
Guo Mi followed Caesar and could only see his white butt.
She didn't go looking for his tail hidden in the long hair, but the male bear stopped and walked several times in a row, which made her confused and didn't know what to do.
Currently they were going in a direction that was completely unfamiliar to Guo Mi. She didn't even know where they were going.
After hesitating for a moment, Guo Mi still took two steps and walked side by side with Caesar.
Caesar's movement of raising his claws stalled for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm.
Guo Mi felt helpless when she heard his obviously heavier breathing.
The two bears crossed a strange rocky beach, and then followed a stream extended by the seawater to a wet low-lying land.
The soil is very moist, and green grass about half a meter high grows around it. It is swaying in the wind, mixed with small pink wild flowers.
Guo Mi turned his head and sniffed, and the smell of fresh grass penetrated his nose. He couldn't help but take a bite, chewed it and swallowed it.
Caesar was walking and suddenly noticed that Guo Mi was lagging behind. As soon as he turned around, he saw her stopping in front of a patch of grass, chewing the unknown grass in her mouth with relish, her eyes It suddenly became weird.
Guo Mi tasted the fragrance of grass in her mouth and felt a little happy.
Brown bears in the forest sometimes eat grass, but most of the time they do it because they can't find other food to fill their stomachs temporarily, and a small part of them do it out of boredom.
Guo Mi also eats it sometimes. For her, eating some grass leaves is the same as eating green vegetables as a human being.
It may just be that I have been in the Arctic for a long time. When I saw the grass leaves and fruits that grow in summer, I didn’t even think of eating them. I just smelled the smell and my appetite suddenly came up.
Caesar saw Guo Mi enjoying eating grass, and doubts slowly arose in his heart, is it really so delicious?
The male bear hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart. He stretched his head to the edge of the grass, glanced at Guo Mi, and after confirming that she didn't notice him, he quickly took a bite on the grass!
A strange taste swept through my mouth. I couldn’t tell what it was, but it just wasn’t very delicious.
The more Caesar chewed, the more he felt something was wrong. When Guo Mi wasn't paying attention, he quickly spat out the grass in his mouth, then picked it up with his paws and hid it in the grass.
Guo Mi took two mouthfuls of grass to satisfy his cravings. He turned around with satisfaction and saw the male bear sitting upright, staring at the grass as if looking at something.
After Caesar confirmed that he had hidden the grass he had eaten, he was about to turn his head and secretly look at Guo Mi again when her voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"What are you looking at?"
Guo Mi walked up to Caesar, followed his gaze and stretched his head to search in the grass.
...Nothing weird.
Caesar immediately became nervous when he saw Guo Mi’s searching look, and the hair on his back exploded.
Although he didn't know what he was nervous about, he was just nervous anyway.
Guo Mi searched for a while but found nothing. When he was about to give up, he saw small black bugs lying on the grass blades. Their backs were reflective and had no patterns.
I don’t know what kind of insect it is, but I am very familiar with it. Sometimes I see bears eating it in the forest, but I didn’t expect it to be found here too.
Guo Mi turned around and asked Caesar:
“Are you looking at this bug?”
Bug? What bug?
Caesar didn't know there were bugs in the grass at all, but when Guo Mi asked him, he agreed without hesitation:
"Yes."
Guo Mi was a little surprised:
" Do you want to eat this?" Caesar was stunned:
".?
What to eat, bugs? Are bugs edible?
Before Caesar could figure it out, Guo Mi had already taken the initiative to get out of the way, and said quite understandingly:
"Then you eat, I will get out of the way quietly, don't worry. It hasn’t run away yet.”
So she eased her movements and took two steps to the side.
Caesar swallowed, raised his paws stiffly, and walked to Guo Mi's side with difficulty.
The all-conquering male bear has been destroyed by a small bug. He lowered his head and began to look for the legendary "bug" aimlessly. There was an impulse in his heart. Asked Guomi:
Does he have to eat this bug?
But the strong Caesar finally resolutely suppressed this impulse. He comforted himself in his heart that it would be okay, just close his eyes and swallow it later.
Guo Mi felt a little strange when he saw Caesar lowering his head and looking at the grass without moving for a long time. He took two steps forward and looked into the grass together, and suddenly he was surprised and said:
"The insect is gone?"
Caesar suddenly felt relieved, and a strong sense of joy swept through his heart. However, before he could completely relax, he heard Guo Mi say:
"I'm sorry, it seems I scared the insect away because I made too much noise just now. How about I find another one for you."
This is the first time Guo Mi has said sorry to Caesar, but Caesar would rather He didn't hear it!
Seeing Guo Mi walking into the grass with a bear claw, looking like he was ready to do something big, Caesar said quickly:
"I don't want to eat, let's go."
Guo Mi looked back at him, his eyes falling on Caesar's bear face.
The male bear's heart was about to jump into his throat, fearing that she would not give up and would continue to look for bugs.
Fortunately, Guo Mi finally retracted his paws into the grass, walked to Caesar, and said calmly:
"Okay, let's go, where are we going?"
Caesar's heart finally relaxed completely, and he secretly thought that he would never eat worms again... no, he would never eat a bite of grass again.
The two bears fell silent again, with Caesar leading the way, half a body ahead of Guo Mi.
Although they still didn't speak to each other, fortunately, the atmosphere became much lighter after the little episode just now.
The low-lying areas are becoming increasingly humid, and there are even pools of water forming in some places.
Long-term exposure to sunlight causes the algae in the pool to multiply wildly, driving some other single-celled organisms and microorganisms in the water to multiply, so the water quality in the pool is not very good.
Guo Mi stretched out his claws and scratched the surface of the water. His sharp nails pulled out a long string of sticky bubbles from the water.
The tip of my nose is filled with a vague smell.
She retracted her claws, reluctant to swim through such a pool.
Caesar seemed to have seen what she was thinking, and whispered:
"Follow me."
Guo Mi raised his head and saw the male bear nimbly stepping onto a narrow stone in the pool.
This stone is only big enough for Caesar to put two paws on, and there is no way for him to stand on it, so he must move his four paws to step on different stones at the same time.
Watching the male bear step on several stones quickly, Guo Mi was a little surprised that Caesar's bulky body was so flexible.
After receiving her admiring gaze, the male bear, who had been depressed all morning, finally became a little proud and quickly stepped on a few new stones.
Caesar deliberately speeded up his walking. When there was only the last stone left, he turned his head and prepared to feel Guo Mi's amazed gaze again. The next second, he felt that his back leg was missing!
"Plop——!"
Some bears were so happy that they became sad, and two bear paws stepped heavily into the puddle!
Brown bears are omnivores, and their diet is so wide that you may not even think of it, including plants, bugs, and frogs.
In contrast, the food of polar bears is much simpler. They are carnivores. Although in recent years they have begun to eat some non-meat foods due to environmental changes, they are far less complex than brown bears. .
