Chapter 123 Little Bear Watching in Summer
Far from the center of the Arctic, the climate is neither too cold nor too warm, and the greenness of the trees has actually been preserved for a longer time.
A female polar bear lay comfortably on the grass, panting slightly with her mouth open, and narrowed her eyes to avoid the direct sun.
Beside her, there was a little polar bear running around wildly, rolling on the ground from time to time, with fine blades of grass clinging to its body, dyeing its white fur a few green spots.
The cub is full of energy and is so playful that he even runs over and steps on the mother bear, and then runs away before the mother bear gets angry.
Several times in a row, Xia Tian lost the leisurely feeling of lazily resting before, and lay there helplessly enduring the bear's excess energy.
Fortunately, this strong energy was consumed very quickly. After a while, the little guy felt tired and staggered to his mother's side, his body tilted——
All fours facing forward Heaven and earth lie down.
She rolled around on the grass twice, and finally put her head on her mother. She closed her eyes, and after a while, she began to snore slightly.
When the little bear makes a fuss, he wants to lift up the dirt on the ground. When he is quiet, he falls into a deep sleep within two seconds.
Xia Tian was accustomed to this, and allowed her to put most of her body weight on him, squinting her eyes again, and the mother and daughter quietly enjoyed this rare quiet time.
However, accidents always appear suddenly. When the breath of other bears penetrates her nose, the female bear immediately sweeps away her lazy expression and opens her eyes, with sharp flashes in her eyes.
But soon she could tell that the scent she smelled was far less thick and rich than that of an adult bear:
This was the smell of a cub.
Xia Tian felt relieved, but immediately became vigilant again.
Having cubs means there is a female bear. Although not as threatening as a male bear, it is still a big hidden danger.
She turned her head and let out a grunt in her throat, urging the little bear to stop sleeping.
The little cub was very reluctant and rubbed his head hard against her body, leaning on the ground with his head tilted and refusing to get up.
Xia Tian simply stood up and left in stride.
The little bear’s head that was leaning on her slipped down and hit the ground.
Not to mention the thick grass, even if it hits the stone directly, this amount of force is not even enough for the little bear to scratch an itch.
But she could already clearly feel her mother's anger, so she didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and stood up quickly. Although there was still some reluctance in her eyes, she still followed her mother quickly.
Xia Tian was hesitant about whether to leave early. Until now, she could only smell the smell of the cubs, not the mother bear at all.
…A lonely little bear?
Unlikely.
She was thinking in her mind, and the bear's breath penetrated into her nose again, and she suddenly stopped before taking two steps.
The little bear who followed her step by step lowered his head and fell asleep. He didn't notice that the big bear in front had stopped and bumped into it!
The little guy was startled, took two steps back and almost sat on the ground, shook his head, and now he was completely awake.
Xia Tian raised his head and sniffed again, always feeling that the two smells he smelled were somewhat familiar.
She was sure that she had definitely smelled it before.
Where did you smell it...
The female bear lowered her head and pondered, and finally found the source of the two smells in the chaotic memory.
Aren’t these the two cubs of Kaya adopted by Guo Mi?
The sharpness in her eyes was replaced by surprise.
Those two cubs are still alive today? !
But aren't they in the snow-capped mountains? How could they come to such a far place? Are they the same as them?
But it seems that she has never seen Guo Mi on the ice floe?
By the way, Guo Mi!
Why can I only smell the scent of the little bear, but not her scent?
Although there is speculation that Guo Mi had difficulty raising cubs, since they were not biological children anyway, he just threw away the two cubs, and the cubs ran all the way here without knowing the way.
But Xia Tian quickly gave up this speculation.
Because the two cubs would never have survived that long on their own, and besides Guo Mi, no bear in the entire Arctic would adopt those two cubs.
So it must be Guo Mi who raised them to such a big size.
Where did Guo Mi go?
You didn’t throw them away after you raised them until they were half-grown to see if they had a chance of survival, right?
Take it to such a far place and throw it away?
Xia Tian looked around and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. If they were really taken to such a far place and thrown away, it might be because they really didn’t want them to live.
She thought about it for a while, and in the end she couldn't control her curiosity. She comforted her heart that even if the cub wasn't alone, the female bear that suddenly appeared in the end was... It will be Guo Mi.
So this female polar bear still couldn't resist the temptation, once again broke the common sense of survival of polar bears with cubs, raised her paws and walked towards the place where the breath came from.
About four hundred meters away, Xia Tian soon saw two bear cubs standing in front of a small slope not far away, their heads facing each other and their necks stretched out to look at the slope.
Before they had time to see what they were looking at, the two bear cubs suddenly had their claws out!
The four bear claws flew up and down until only the afterimages were left. The wet soil, broken grass, and pebbles were all plowed into the air, and then fell not far away.
Xia Tian was amazed by the speed and skill of the bear cub digging holes.
The ability to dig holes has already surpassed hers. If we ask ourselves, if it were her who was digging, she probably wouldn't be as efficient.
As the little bear dug, the hole on the slope became bigger and bigger. Finally, with a click of the little paw, a hole suddenly appeared on the wall of the pit!
The bear digs holes faster again!
After a few moments, the fragile soil suddenly collapsed, and a bunch of things rolled out from the suddenly created hole.
Another ground squirrel has lost its precious granary!
When I smelled it in summer, it seemed to smell like berries and seeds.
The salmon and fish bones not far away happily looked at the fruits scattered under their feet and looked at each other happily.
The salmon lowered his head and picked it up with his claws:
“There seem to be a lot more berries and seeds that I haven’t seen before.”
Fishbone asked hesitantly:
“Then do we want to eat?”
They hadn't eaten in a while, and these berries were hard-to-find food.
There is already so little that I can barely satisfy my hunger. If I reduce the number of fruits that I don’t know if I can eat them, I’m afraid I can only taste them.
Salmon lowered his head and sniffed the fruit like Guo Mi. The smell that entered his nose was sweet, some sour, and some bitter.
She looked at the fish bones.
The little bear's longing eyes fell on the berries on the ground, and he swallowed one mouthful of saliva, but he could only resist his hunger.
Salmon gritted his teeth:
"I'll eat it first, and if nothing happens, you can eat it later."
She planned to test the poison on the salmon just like Guo Mi!
The fish bone immediately refused:
"I'll eat it first. I'm big. I should be able to hold on if I get poisoned."
Salmon thinks this is a fallacy. Even if he is poisoned, he will feel very uncomfortable, so why should he be able to withstand it? ! So I refused:
"No, I am the sister, I should take care of you, so I eat first!"
"I come first, I am big!"
< br>"I'm coming! I'm my sister!"
……
The little bear was making a lot of noise, and Xia Tian listened with great interest in the distance. Her eyes fell on the scattered nuts and she recognized most of them.
After confirming that those things were edible, I immediately relaxed and continued to listen to the cubs arguing.
The two little bears were afraid that the other side would be poisoned, so they competed to take the first bite.
There was only one question in Xia Tian's mind after listening to the entire process, and that was how Guo Mi taught Xiong Zaizi to teach two such little cubs.
Looking at the appearance of these two cubs, it seems that they plan to depend on each other in the future.
"The strange female bear has raised two more deviant cubs."
Xia Tian thought strangely. Then he thought about it and thought it was reasonable.
The argument between the two little bears in the distance has finally come to an end, and they have reached a result that both parties are satisfied with!
