Chapter 93 The Bear in the Berry Forest
Guo Mi and the little bear spent the next few days in the berry forest.
Although eating berries for a long time cannot support the nutrients they need to survive, at a time when food is scarce, it is lucky to find such a large berry forest.
What’s more, Guo Mi still couldn’t cheer up enough to think about those new prey, so the three bears ate berries during the day, and then spent most of the time sleeping in the fluffy grass next to the berry forest.
I don’t know if it’s because there is a circle of low shrubs around the berry forest, which surrounds the entire fruit forest like a wall, which invisibly obscures the sight of many large animals.
In short, during their stay, except for Caesar who broke through the bushes and came here every day, no other bears appeared.
Speaking of Caesar, he has never spoken to Guo Mi since that day when he told her that overripe fruits should not be eaten.
Every day, Guo Mi and the little bear lay down in the grass to sleep. Before the fog dissipated in the early morning, there would be a crisp sound in his ears.
That was the sound of Caesar's arrival.
Guo Mi was alert at first, but then he didn’t care much anymore.
Guo Mi would occasionally open his eyes slightly and squint at him.
Male bears often stand far away, raising their heads and looking into the grass where they sleep for a while, with their noses quivering as if they are sniffing something. After a long time, they lower their heads to look for those hidden things. Small berries among the leaves.
The only special situation worth mentioning was the third day when Guo Mi and the little bear lived in the berry forest.
Caesar came to the berry forest on the dewdrops in the morning.
Morning is the easiest time to feel sleepy. Guo Mi had already relaxed his vigilance. He just opened his eyes and took a look. After confirming that it was Caesar, he closed his eyes again, put his head on his front paws and rubbed it again. Return to sleep.
The two little bears slept soundly next to them, and they were used to seeing Caesar Bear eating fruits in the berry forest when they woke up.
Guo Mi couldn't remember how long it had been that day. In short, she hadn't heard the unique sound of swaying grass blades as Caesar walked in the berry forest for a long time.
Until a crisp "click" sound very close at hand completely woke her up from her drowsiness!
It’s the sound of blades of grass being stepped on!
She was frightened, and then there was a strong smell of Caesar flowing in her nose, and she realized that Caesar was close in front of her.
He couldn't remember what he was thinking about that day, and Guo Mi didn't choose to open his eyes.
She could feel Caesar standing in front of her, looking down at her quietly.
According to common sense, if you are stared at by such a huge male bear so close, the normal reaction should be to be highly alert, or to be scared to the point of running cold.
But at that time, Guo Mi had none of these feelings. She didn't seem to be worried about whether Caesar would suddenly say something or make any aggressive behavior. She just felt an indescribable hollow feeling in her heart.
Caesar would always stand there and look at her silently for a long time, and it was the same at that time.
Just as Guo Mi was confused about what there was to see, a sound of breathing suddenly came to his ears.
She immediately held her breath!
The male bear sniffed her face. He must have deliberately relaxed his breathing. The usual heavy breathing sound was much quieter. If Guo Mi was really asleep, maybe he was. It's possible that you won't be awakened.
Caesar's sniff spread from the tip of his nose to the back of her ears, and then moved to the paw on which her head was pressed. The male bear's breathing stopped there. Guo Mi guessed that if he was standing, he would be The head should be tilted.
What did he want to see, her claws?
...paw pads?
Fortunately, this time he didn't stay as long as he usually stared at her, otherwise she would worry that she would reveal her flaws.
There was another rare sound of grass blades collapsing. Guo Mi eagerly guessed that he was about to leave. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the next second he was suddenly sprayed with hot and humid breath on the tip of his ears!
Her body stiffened slightly.
This time Caesar was very close, his breath sprayed on the round ears on the top of Guo Mi's head, and even the smallest breathing sound became particularly obvious.
Guo Mi was so confused that a strange conjecture came to her mind:
Did Caesar want to take her ear? !
Animals’ ears are very sensitive and are covered with small blood vessels and nerves. As Caesar got closer and closer, Guo Mi’s ears twitched slightly uncontrollably.
The breathing suddenly stopped.
The standing bears and the lying bears all held their breath.
A second or two later, the sound of swaying grass blades was heard and lasted for a long time.
Guo Mi knew that Caesar had really left this time.
She maintained her original posture, her mind going blank. She didn't open her eyes until the bears woke up. Caesar still lowered his head to pick berries from the grass blades as he did two days ago, without raising his head.
Guo Mi sat in the grass in a daze for a while, and then the weird hollow feeling in her heart disappeared. She felt that she should forget what happened just now.
In fact, she wasn't sure whether Caesar knew she was awake, and she wouldn't ask.
I just suddenly thought in my mind, if Caesar knew that she was awake, wouldn't her behavior be another way of expressing rejection?
This time Guo Mi looked at Caesar for a long time.
It wasn’t until the male bear showed signs of turning his head that she withdrew her sight and walked into the berry forest.
What happened just now was like an insignificant episode in a hazy dream.
Later, Caesar never approached Guo Mi while she was sleeping.
The four bears returned to their previous state.
Guo Mi and the little bear were eating fruit here, while Caesar occupied the other side alone.
The male bear will not leave soon after he is full. Instead, he will find a comfortable place to lie down or on his back, squinting his eyes slightly to rest. Sometimes he will stretch out his paws to scratch his butt, just like on vacation. .
It wasn't until it got dark in the evening that he left along the gap in the bushes that he had broken, and then reported back on time the next day.
Guo Mi tried his best not to focus on Caesar most of the time, but sometimes he still had random thoughts and wondered whether he and Slok had quarreled again.
After all, this male bear has been walking alone for several days, which is not at all normal.
At least Slok doesn't seem to give up sticking to Caesar after a quarrel.
The male bear was lying lazily in the grass, with two red berries on his belly, which were being lifted up and down as he breathed.
He stretched out his paws to scratch at it, and finally turned over.
The berries rolled down and the male bear picked them up with his paws and ate them.
As soon as Guo Mi left his sight, he immediately looked at her secretly, and then looked away before she looked over. If this continued, the day would pass quickly.
Caesar is in a relatively satisfied state with his current life and is prepared to continue it.
...Although he didn't know the meaning of looking at Guo Mi all the time.
A small episode:
After struggling for several days, the ground squirrel finally couldn't let go of its overflowing warehouse, which was where it was going to be kept for the winter. On a dark and windy day, the ground squirrel secretly returned to its original burrow.
There are bear footprints next to the small soil slope. Only part of it collapsed, and most of it is still well preserved.
...It just seems a little different?
The ground squirrel was preoccupied with its own food reserves, and did not pay too much attention to it. It was focused on getting into the hole.
Until the moment I saw the warehouse, it stopped breathing!
What had happened to the several basements turned into one, full of stored seeds and nuts, leaving only a thin layer spread pitifully at the bottom of the cave.
The ground squirrel couldn't believe its eyes and scurried back and forth in the hole, trying to find its small warehouse.
Finally, I had to accept the fact that its berries and seeds were all gone!
All gone! !
The little stuffed animal let out a sharp roar and covered its head in collapse! !
Its heart is bleeding! !
Who is it? Who is it? ! !
Even if you steal its food reserves, you still want to demolish its home. What a bully!
It must be those evil bears, it must be them! !
No! ! ! !
...
This night, there is another sad little animal.
Caesar: I will always watch you...forever.
