Chapter 137 The Infected Mother Bear
With the threat of wolves, even if the Rabbit Plain can provide a large amount of rabbit meat, salmon and fish bones no longer dare to stay there and just want to hurry up.
It took them a lot of time to get back on the original track and continue moving forward with the meager memory in their minds.
Xia Tian has decided to take Dabai and Guo Mi with her. They have to go back anyway, so of course she will choose a more interesting journey.
The wolf blood on Guo Mi's body began to turn black, probably because of the temperature, and there was a faint smell.
Xia Tian always smelled the stinky smell of blood inadvertently. Several times in a row, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and complained to Guo Mi:
"Can you find a way to clean up the blood stains on your body? The smell is too strong."
Guo Mi looked down at himself. Apart from being a little embarrassed and unsightly, he didn't seem to smell anything when he smelled it.
Xia Tian suddenly felt disgusted:
"You have been soaked in the smell. Of course you can't smell it anymore. You don't want those two cubs to find you and get you into this mess. Now it starts It stinks even more than your own smell.”
After saying a lot of complaints, it’s better to say something practical. As soon as these words came out, Mi immediately changed his mind:
“Okay, I will find a way to clean it up.”
It’s just a matter of time. Thinking that the accumulated puddles are almost dry now, even if they are not completely dry, the smelly water inside is still the same The smell on her body now was no different. Guo Mi started to feel embarrassed again and muttered:
"It would be great if I could find living water."
The words "summer" often popped up in her mouth. Xia Tian couldn't understand the words that she had never heard before, including those two little bears.
"What is living water?"
The female bear struggled for several days, and her curiosity finally took over the high ground of reason.
Xia Tian decided not to be ashamed to ask.
Guo Mi is always patient and explains to her:
“It’s flowing water. If the water is flowing, it will remove some small insects, fish and shrimps in the water, microscopically. Life...well, smaller things that we can barely see keep being taken away."
"Do smaller things really have these things?" Xia Tian expressed doubts about this.
Guo Mi was afraid that if this problem continued she would have to explain microorganisms, bacteria and algae to Xia Tian, so she quickly continued:
"In short, if the water does not flow, those fish, shrimps and small creatures will It will continue to reproduce in a fixed water source and then excrete what the body does not need. Things, and then the water will stink..."
She said it very euphemistically, but Xia Tian still understood it, and his eyes widened:
"Don't you mean, if The water stops flowing and starts to stink. Is this their excrement water we drink? ”
Hmm... the meaning is pretty much the same, but Guo Mi didn't drink less when those puddles had not had time to stink. When Xia Tian said this, he suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Xia Tian started to get irritable. When he thought about Guo Mi bathing in excrement later, it would be even more smelly. He immediately urged her:
“Go find the river water, go quickly! ”
She was afraid that Guo Mi would be lazy, so she even patted her with her paw and gave her a series of urgings:
“Hurry up and find He Shui, I’ll look after the cub for you!”
Guo Mi could only turn around one step at a time, being driven by Xia Tian's eyes to clean herself up.
Dabai followed Xia Tian and peeked at her. He always felt that his mother seemed to have a much livelier personality, and she believed in Guo Mi almost unconditionally. No matter what Guo Mi said that was unbelievable, she would take it seriously.
The little bear lowered her head and grumbled in her heart. If one day Guo Mi said that she could live without her mother, maybe her mother would be able to stuff her with salmon bones in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of the two little bears, Dabai sighed in her heart. She wanted to play with them, but her mother said that if she wanted to be with them, she had to find food by herself like them.
I trembled when I thought of the wolf pack that night. No matter how playful I was, I refused to go find the two little bears. I was ridiculed by Xia Tian as "worthless". Dabai gritted his teeth and followed his mother closely, lest she suddenly change her mind.
Suddenly he heard Xia Tian next to him making a sound:
“I found another one.”
Dabai raised his eyes and saw two little bears fighting desperately. A hole was dug on the ground, and soon a bunch of berry seeds were scattered out.
This is the third ground squirrel warehouse they found after encountering the wolves!
Robbery is something that becomes familiar once and for all. Digging the ground squirrel's nest a few more times. Salmon fish bones can now easily find the ground squirrel's hole. If you want to look for it, you can find it immediately.
They still maintained their previous "good habits". After eating the berries and seeds that were easier to open, they helped the injured ground squirrel dig a larger and stronger warehouse.
Xia Tian saw it several times and finally asked Guo Mi why he taught Little Bear to do this.
Guo Mi didn't dare to say anything. She couldn't say that she had stolen the ground squirrel's warehouse and dug it up casually, but the little bear regarded it as a "survival guide" and learned it like a treasure.
How shameless she is.
So the round-faced dish bear cleared his throat, held his head high, and said grandly:
"Of course I have to give something back to receive the fruits of his labor, otherwise wouldn't I be a shameless bear?"
After learning the reason, Xia Tian was silent for two seconds, and suddenly said "Wow" exaggeratedly. , and then asked with a wicked smile:
“You have eaten so many reindeer, all of which were fawns raised by the reindeer mother’s hard work. Have you ever said thank you to the reindeer mother?”
Fruit Mi suddenly fell silent. He choked on his words when his sweet words failed, and said bravely:
"Of course I'm grateful to it!"
Xia Tian is reluctant to give up:
"How do you thank it?"
"...Send it to appreciate the scenery inside the belly of a brown bear." The implication is to eat.
Xia Tian sneered and turned his head angrily.
Only Dabai knew that her mother sniffed secretly for a long time at night before finally finding a ground squirrel hole. She imitated two little bears digging holes before digging out the berries until their claws became sore. She only picked out the sweet ones and ate two, leaving them all for her. , and then secretly dug the hole by himself.
While eating nuts, Dabai watched his mother clumsily throw a bigger hole, then imitate the little bear's example and tamp down the wall of the hole with her paws, and finally seal it.
...But the hole collapsed after a while.
Xia Tian’s eyes widened, he exhaled a breath of hot air from his nose and snorted.
Then Dabai watched helplessly as she dug out the collapsed hole and dug it again.
This time the hole didn't collapse, but it just never looked as good as a salmon bone.
Summer didn’t look very happy, so I found some leaves to cover it up.
Although it was just a small episode, it also brought a great shock to Dabai’s young heart!
She never knew her mother could have such a childish side!
So much so that when she saw the little bear digging a hole again the next day, she heard Xia Tian whispering next to her, "The hole I dug looks better." That's it.
Her mother has been infected by Guo Mi and the two cubs. She is no longer the mature and stable adult polar bear she was before!
Dabai complained repeatedly in his heart, and suddenly there was another very distant but very obvious wolf howl in his ears. His whole body froze immediately, and he quickly squeezed against Xia Tian.
Looking up, Xia Tian's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at the direction of the sound with a heavy gaze.
