Chapter 94 Black Bear
Berry is a very special plant, fragile yet tough.
Some minor reasons will cause them to not bear fruit, and in extreme cases, they will die, such as a drop in temperature, a lack of moisture, or just the leaf buds being touched.
But this plant also has another side.
Their fruits mature very quickly, in one day, two days, and sometimes even overnight.
The fruit vines growing in the Arctic have been torn by severe cold, wind and snow. They are probably born without the fragility of temperate berry plants, leaving only the tenacity.
Guo Mi instructs the little bear not to damage the roots when eating fruits, leaving the unripe green fruits and giving them time to grow.
At the same time, she will try her best to select those fruits that are stronger and stronger to keep.
These fruits are very tempting, and they are usually the first to be chosen for consumption, but Guo Mi chose to stay. The little bear who was restrained was puzzled.
Guo Mi explained in a low voice:
"The berries are delicious, but they also need to reproduce. We eat its fruits to leave a way for it to survive next year."
The bear's appetite is really too big. If we don't consciously keep the fruits and Seeds, no matter how big this berry forest is, four bears can still pick up all the fruits.
There may not be any fruit in the coming year, but the yield will be greatly reduced and there will be fewer seeds left. During this period, other bears and small animals will rely on this berry forest to survive.
Maybe the entire berry forest will wither.
Little Bear seemed to understand, but they would do whatever Guo Mi said.
Suddenly there was another sound of swaying grass blades nearby. Guo Mi glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Caesar was still lowering his head to pluck fruits not far away. He didn't pay much attention to it. He guessed that he was eating along the vines.
Little Bear also heard the noise.
Salmon could still sit where he was, and Fishbone stood up and hid behind Guo Mi, then revealed a small head from behind her to look at Caesar, and his eyes fell on a clump of grass at the feet of the male bear.
The corner of Guo Mi's mouth twitched. That day Caesar stuffed his paw into his mouth. At first, she really thought he was poisoned. It was not until later that she accidentally saw a grass leaf stuck between his teeth.
Later, when she occasionally took a bite of grass, she could clearly feel Caesar's resentful gaze.
No matter how stupid you are, you can guess what he did.
So Guo Mi pretended to accidentally bite a mouthful of grass, deliberately stuck the grass between his teeth, and then pulled hard along the blades of grass.
This method will only lead to two results, one is that the grass stuck in the teeth is brought out, the other is that the grass used for picking teeth is broken, and then more grass is stuck between the teeth. .
Guo Mi has been able to master the strength very skillfully, so he rarely breaks the grass.
Her behavior quickly attracted the attention of the male bear.
After demonstrating it several times, you can turn around and find that the male bear has sneakily found another clump of grass and is eager to try.
However, it was obviously impossible for an impatient and rude male bear like Caesar to survive in one go. Guo Mi could probably predict that soon he would have a mouth full of grass and stare at her even more resentfully.
This is also true.
But then the grass in Caesar's mouth suddenly became clean, and Guo Mi didn't know if he had found other ways or if he had mastered her unique secret skill.
In short, Caesar never took a bite of grass again.
Guo Mi pulled away from his memories and looked at Caesar when he raised his head and seemed to realize that he was too close, so he turned around and walked away.
The little bear then began to follow Guo Mi's instructions, keeping the better fruits, and then eating other ripe berries.
Guo Mi soon discovered that there was something different about the orange fruit she ate. Some fruits are round and plump, with thin skin, rich flesh, and sweet juice; some fruits are small, with thick skin and relatively large seeds inside.
This situation is not unique.
...Could this berry be divided into male and female fruits?
Guo Mi was a little puzzled. She had very little knowledge about plants. She didn’t know much about them and only had some superficial knowledge.
But to be on the safe side, she still asked the little bear to keep some of each kind of fruit.
Just as she and the little bear were getting close to the berries to determine their "gender", there was a popping sound in their ears.
Guo Mi immediately became alert, his ears twitched, and he looked over following the noise.
Caesar was still eating fruit not far away. He didn't smell any particularly strong smell. It must be some kind of small animal.
Guo Mi thought for a moment, then raised his paw and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
She came to the bushes and suddenly stuck her head into the bushes! " Pat-"
With a very small sound, the round nut fell from its paws and rolled to Guo Mi's feet.
The bear and the mouse just looked at each other without saying anything. After a short second, Guo Mi raised the bear's paw!
Not to be outdone, the ground squirrel jumped forward with its nimble little body and rolled to Guo Mi's feet. It hugged the berries with its paws and wiped them with Guo Mi's paws at an extremely fast speed. Pass by!
The small body is like a string of brown lightning, running away in the blink of an eye!
The gadget ran away without forgetting her berries. Guo Mi was almost laughed out of anger. She didn't expect that even the reindeer would despise her. Even the ground squirrel thought she was slow to react!
She licked her mouth. After eating the fruit for so long, she hadn't tasted meat for a long time.
So without thinking, Guo Mi chased the ground squirrel in the direction it was escaping!
The ground squirrel hugged its precious berries and ran forward desperately, while looking back. After realizing that the bear was catching up, it ran even faster!
The little brown stuffed animal was so frightened that it burst into tears. He couldn't help but accuse the strange bear behind him:
"Didn't we agree that bears will not attack ground squirrels?!"
With such a small body and frame, can she even take a liking to it? !
And what does she look like? !
With a round head and round brain, how can any polar bear look like that? !
Probably because holding the fruit restricted its movements after all, the ground squirrel actually ran along the wide area without even thinking of getting under any trees.
Guo Mi was chasing after him, but he didn't use all his energy and just followed slowly.
In fact, she didn't necessarily want to eat it now. It didn't matter whether she could catch it or not. The main thing was to see when it would give up its precious berry.
The ground squirrel ran away after being chased, and finally remembered that it could hide in the bushes.
Just as he was about to rush headlong into the bushes, a black paw suddenly landed in front of him!
The little guy was startled and screamed, "Ji——", he hugged his fruit tightly as if he was hugging the whole world. When he raised his head and looked, his brain stopped functioning instantly!
It has a round head, a round face, a round body, pointed talons and a yellow mouth. It looks down at it with bright eyes.
Surprisingly, it was another bear that looked very similar to the strange bear just now!
Black Bear!
