Those Years of Dressing As An Animal

On the green prairie everywhere, a young Tibetan fox lowered his body and quietly approached the prey in front of him step by step.

Then, when the distance between the two was getting shorter and shorter, until there were only two or three meters left, the young Tibetan fox suddenly aimed at the target and slammed forward...

There was finally something in his mouth, and Chen Xing immediately bit it, and the hard canine teeth completely bit off the neck of the prey in his mouth, making it swallowed.

Chen Xing, who successfully captured a pika, didn't stay any longer, and hurried towards home with the dead pika in his mouth.

The hunting area of ​​the little Tibetan foxes is not far from home, which is convenient for parents to watch and keep an eye on the safety of the children. Therefore, in a short while, Chen Xing successfully returned to the door with the prey in his mouth, without the unwilling experience of being robbed by robbers. .

Back at the door of the house, Chen Xing threw the pika in his mouth in front of the Tibetan fox mother, and squatted on the grass in an orderly manner, waiting for the next reaction of the Tibetan fox mother.

Sure enough, seeing that the eldest son successfully returned with his prey again, without Chen Xing saying more, Tibetan Fox's mother sincerely moved forward to lick Chen Xing's head and encouraged him to praise him!

Chen Xing raised his chest more and more proudly.

The Tibetan fox mother praised her son. Then, instead of eating the prey her son had thrown in front of her, she picked up the dead pika, trotted for several meters, and then dug it on the spot. A little deep cave, throw the pika carcass in its mouth into the cave, and re-cover it with the soil just dug up.

Now that winter has begun, the temperature outside is getting lower and lower, and the dead prey is hidden in the underground cave, which can be stored for a period of time.

In a few days, when there are fewer and fewer prey outside, and hunting becomes more and more difficult, these food reserves can come in handy.

If the family of six saves a little more food during this time, at least the members of the family will not starve to death this winter.

No one in the family is happy to see siblings or parents die of starvation this winter.

It is precisely because Chen Xing knew this that after his hunting skills became more and more mature with practice, and the probability of successfully catching prey became higher and higher, he followed in the footsteps of his parents' efforts to save food. If they have the energy and time, they will hunt with their parents and try to save enough food before the cold winter.

In this way, even if the prey cannot be caught, as long as there is enough food, at least their family of six will not starve to death.

As long as this cold winter is passed safely, then in the spring of the next year, everyone can come back to life again.

Even the two younger brothers who have always been keen on being naughty and mischievous, now watching winter come, out of biological instinct, they don't even need to be urged by their parents or the elder brother Chen Xing, and they also know the importance of food. Start to go out of the house and try to hunt.

It's just that the success rate of these two younger brothers in hunting is a bit low. It's not as good as Chen Xing, the elder brother. The younger sister who ranks fourth is much better than them!

Of course, for the performance of these two stinky brothers finally working hard, although Chen Xing is a little dissatisfied with their hunting effect, he can only encourage and praise them, hoping to motivate them and let them hurry up in actual combat. Train well.

Don't come to the next spring, when the brothers and sisters are leaving home to prepare for independence, these two stinky brothers can't even support themselves!

If you can't even support yourself, how will you find a partner and successfully build a family?

Chen Xing has been single all his life and does not need a partner or children, but his native brothers and sisters need to follow the trend.

The Tibetan fox mother hid the food in the ground, and Chen Xing didn't stay near the house. After a while, she rushed to the grass outside alone, ready to hunt the next pika.

Now the Tibetan foxes that are hunting on this meadow are all four of their brothers and sisters.

The Tibetan fox mother has to watch the cave at the door of her house, pay attention to the safety of her four children, and keep alert for the arrival of natural enemies at any time. Although she does not participate in hunting, her work is not easy.

As for the Tibetan fox father, he is busy marking the territory belonging to their family at the moment to prevent others from invading. The area of ​​the territory is not small.

Chen Xing's family of six is ​​now busy with work, no fox is still trying to find a way to be lazy at this critical time.

After all, the two stinky younger brothers who usually enjoy playing the most, are now under pressure from food to go out to hunt, naturally it is impossible for other family members to be more ignorant than the two of them?

After returning to the grass and searching carefully for a while, Chen Xing did not find a pika, but found a neighbor of their Tibetan fox, a badger.

The badger is a very good neighbor. Usually, the Tibetan fox family does not interfere with the river water, and they do not interfere with each other, and they do not fight. The two sides are not within the scope of each other's recipes. A good helper - snowfinch as food.

Snowfinch's early warning is a bit of a headache for Tibetan foxes, and it will always interfere with their success in catching pikas.

However, with the neighbor, the badger, who eats snowfinch, the Tibetan fox family is cheaper.

After discovering the badger, Chen Xing didn't interfere with the other party. He just watched the other party and successfully caught a snowfinch and ate it on the spot.

Chen Xing has never eaten a bird like the snowfinch, so he doesn't know what it's like?

Looking at the badger with a bird feather left on its mouth, Chen Xing suddenly felt a little greedy.

However, Chen Xing had already eaten a whole pika that he had caught himself in the morning, enough to support the energy supply for a day, and now his stomach is still full. hungry.

Taking his eyes away from the neighbor, the badger, Chen Xing stopped paying attention to each other and continued to concentrate on hunting.

In the next half an hour, Chen Xing had another successful harvest. He returned to the Tibetan fox mother with another dead pika in his mouth, and asked the other party to quickly hide the food.

Just when the Tibetan fox mother was digging a hole to bury the pika that Chen Xing gave her, the Tibetan fox father who went to mark the territory finally came back.

Seeing that Father Tibetan Fox came back safely and was not injured, Chen Xing immediately felt relieved.

Not only that, but Father Tibetan Fox even had more than one pika in his mouth. It seems that he was on the way to mark the territory, and he also caught a few pikas and came back!

Seeing this harvest from the Tibetan fox father, Chen Xing, who had been improving his hunting success rate, slowly calmed down and wiped out the signs of complacency that had just appeared. .

A harvest like the Tibetan fox father can be called awesome!

As for Chen Xing himself, I am afraid that in front of his parents, he is just making a fuss!

Thinking of this, Chen Xing not only did not get discouraged, but became more and more active, and wanted to get closer to the two parents, and even try to surpass them in the future.

The Tibetan fox father didn't know what his eldest son was thinking, and he didn't know that another target suddenly appeared in his heart. As soon as he returned to the door, he quickly handed over the prey in his mouth to his wife to deal with.

This is all the food he caught on the way just now. If you don't catch it, it's a waste. It's better to bring it back. It's not very hard anyway!

Seeing that the Tibetan fox father brought back a lot of prey, the Tibetan fox mother was not tired at all, so she quickly dug a hole for these pikas and buried them in the ground for marking and camouflage, so as not to accidentally cheapen others. thing.

At this moment, Chen Xing hurriedly followed the "hero" of Father Tibetan Fox, sticking to the other's luck.

Tibetan Fox's father has always cared more about Chen Xing's eldest son, and now he is happy to be adored and admired by his eldest son, without any trouble at all.

"what!"

Just when the father and son were sticking together, the second brother, who was no longer so lazy, finally appeared and came back with a prey in his mouth.

It is rare to successfully catch a prey. Chen Xing, the second brother, was even more proud than Chen Xing who was in front of Tibetan Fox's mother just now. He walked with his head held high, and he seemed to want all family members to put his mouth in his mouth. The prey can be seen clearly.

Seeing that the elder brother Chen Xing was following his parents at the moment, the second younger brother even gave Chen Xing a smug look, as if comparing their strengths.

In this regard, Chen Xing was happy in his heart, just watching this stinky brother use such rough show-off methods to compete for favor in front of his parents, like watching a play, he did not stop him.
