With so many animals coming to human territory, it is impossible not to leave any traces behind.
What's more, some of the animals are of very poor quality. After making a mess of their food, they don't clean it up. Doesn't this clearly let humans know that a "thief" has come in?
And there is more than one "thief".
Although Jun Qi and Nian Nian are also included.
That night, Jun Qi and Niannian went to the place where humans lived as usual to look for food. When they were about to reach their destination, Jun Qi smelled an unusual smell, and he stopped immediately due to his vigilance.
"Gugu." What's wrong?
Nian Nian didn't understand the meaning of Jun Qi's action. He called out in confusion, but still followed Jun Qi and flew to the branch.
Although it doesn’t look good when they just start flying every year, it must be said that birds have their own talents in flying, and they are born to be the darlings of the sky.
In just a few days, under Jun Qi's supervision, the way I fly every year has improved a lot. After all, which position is the easiest to fly? Needless to say, I can figure this out myself.
"Gugu." There is a situation.
Jun Qi's weather-beaten eyes looked not far away. As an excellent hunter, he was always very alert to danger. At this time, his intuition told him that there was something ahead.
Then he will definitely stop.
Is there a situation? What situation?
Standing on the branches every year, looking at the small human village, he could smell the smell from such a long distance, including various foods, various animals, and other smells, mixed together, which was particularly obvious.
Just five minutes after Jun Qi landed on the branch, a trace of fire appeared where they were looking.
Although Jun Qi's eyes are no longer good and he was injured by a goshawk before. Now as he grows older, things in the distance become increasingly unreal.
If a glimmer of light appears there, it means that humans are awake and it is no longer safe there.
So this way pass.
It seems that we can only eat sparrows. At this time, the number of sparrows in stock is the largest. Although they are small, they are more numerous.
In the past, Jun Qi was the only one fighting alone, but now with Nian Nian, although this little guy doesn't hunt anymore, he has good learning ability.
This time Jun Qi planned to bring this little guy with him so that he could have enough to eat.
The most important thing for hunting is speed and strength. Owls have both of these things, it just depends on how to use them.
And by taking this opportunity to teach this little guy how to hunt, he will be able to drive this guy out very quickly.
Adult owls either live alone or have a partner, and they will not stay with their parents.
This year's winter seems to be particularly long. When it snows, it snows. The heavy snow has erased all traces.
This is a necessary process before rebirth. When spring comes next year and the snow melts, everything will start again.
During Xu Qiaoqiao's hibernation, she slept longer than before. It was probably in April that she could feel everything around her.
Even so, at this time, the traces of winter have not completely dissipated, and white snow and ice water can be seen everywhere, gathering into the rivers.
When Xu Qiaoqiao woke up, the sky was still black. She sat up in a daze, her mind still not fully awake.
This hibernation consumed a lot of the fat she had stored before, which also caused her to lose a lot of weight. The originally fat hedgehog now looked a little thinner.
very hungry.
Xu Qiaoqiao woke up and urgently needed food to replenish her energy. She took a brief look around and saw that Junjun and Niannian were not there. They must have gone out to hunt.
Xu Qiaoqiao yawned, and then walked out slowly. Because she had just woken up, her limbs were a little weak, so she found a place nearest to her. The grass there was growing very pleasantly and looked very delicious.
.
There was some uncut ice and snow beside the grass. Xu Qiaoqiao didn't notice this until her stomach felt full.
Based on the intuition from animals, the growth of these plants, and her own situation, she felt that it was April now.
An intuition without reason.
Did you sleep for such a long time in April?
Xu Qiaoqiao's mouth is bulging, and I don't know how Junjun and the others are doing. We haven't seen each other for almost four months, and they must have grown very tall.
Maybe he will be an adult soon.
After Xu Qiaoqiao finished eating, she felt a little stronger and went to dig up earthworms. The grass was too boring to eat and she wanted to eat meat!
In spring, earthworms are very active. Xu Qiaoqiao did not go to the water, but found a relatively humid land and started digging. When he saw an earthworm, he ate one. His mouth was not idle for a moment, and his hands were moving.
Same.
"Chirp."
Not bad, earthworms are delicious.
After her stomach felt full, Xu Qiaoqiao stopped moving. Having just woken up, she was very energetic now, especially after filling her stomach.
After eating, Xu Qiaoqiao began to wander around. After all, it was still early in the morning.
She should be five years old now. Time flies so fast.
Just as Xu Qiaoqiao was sighing, an owl sounded suddenly. She immediately became alert and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he was hugged.
"Gu——"
Because of the owl's hoot just now, Xu Qiaoqiao immediately became alert, so the thorn in his back also started to be on guard.
Every year, this pounce was directly hit.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the owl in front of her. Judging from its size, it should be in sub-adult stage. This is... Nian Nian!
"Chirp."
"Goo!"
Because he was pricked by Xu Qiaoqiao's thorn every year, he jumped several times in pain. Because of his unprepared action, he was injured.
In fact, the aura of Nian Nian is not very deep in Xu Qiaoqiao's memory. After all, the memory of animals is not deep. In addition, the aura of the other party has changed a lot since he is approaching adulthood.
But Xu Qiaoqiao still felt a sense of familiarity.
"Gu Gu."
Xu Qiaoqiao felt Jun Qi's aura. After staying with him for so long, Jun Qi's aura was definitely unmistakable.
After Jun Qi saw Xu Qiaoqiao's figure, he fell directly in front of her.
Seeing this, Xu Qiaoqiao rushed forward. Jun Qi also squatted down with a familiar movement, lowering his altitude as much as possible, and then Xu Qiaoqiao hugged him up.
Wow, Junjun, I miss you so much!
Xu Qiaoqiao hugged Jun Qi tightly, buried her head in his feathers, felt the other person's breath, and felt happy for no reason.
Jun Qi also lowered his head. Their noses were touching and their eyes were looking at each other, and they could see the happiness in each other's eyes.
It's great to have successfully lived for another year.
Looking at these two adult animals who are so inseparable, I feel a little aggrieved every year and feel forgotten.
