Chapter 394: Affirming Life with Tragedy
Han Xuan hurriedly stopped his father and grabbed the feeding tank himself, he still had eaten in college in his previous life, but when it came to Chinese food, he was always more proficient than him, a person who didn't know anything.
But when I drank it, I felt that the taste was strange, and the color of the fish soup was not white, so I cast my questioning eyes on my father, and he said embarrassedly: "I think it's a little fishy, so I put some vinegar." ”
Hearing this, the few people who were preparing to scoop the soup before immediately put down their spoons......
Dressed thickly, Dani went downstairs sickly, drank white porridge for two days, smelled the aroma of food, and saliva hung on her lips.
If you can't eat grapes, she said that the grapes are sour, and mocked: "Lobster, steak, eat this at noon, you will really enjoy it."
Joanna, didn't you just say that you gained two pounds in the morning, and it's more than one hundred and fifteen?"
Han Xuan looked at Joanna.
The woman's weight is not more than 100, she is either flat-chested or short, she is more than 1.7 meters tall, and it is definitely uneven, which can be revealed through such a thick down jacket, at least D
Realizing that he wanted to be crooked, he quickly withdrew his eyes and secretly remembered that I was just a child......
The others didn't see it, but Dani found out, staring at him with a smile in her eyes, as if she knew what Han Xuan was thinking.
Western women have relatively large skeletons, and Joanna is actually not fat, but Dani is thin, so she will say so.
Joanna glared at her, her privacy was exposed, her face was a little red, and she said hatefully: "Shut up! There is porridge in the kitchen, go eat it yourself and block your mouth, I'm not fat!"
The men around him burst out laughing, pretending not to hear, and continued to watch the show.
But instead of going on, Dani looked out the window and asked, "What are those black spots?"
Father Han heard that he put down his knife and fork and walked to the window to look. Unsure: "It should be...... Lemmings, huh?"
"Well, it's a lemming.
Why do you come out on such a cold day, let the cowboys hurry up and distribute the forage to them. ”
Han Xuan stood on tiptoe and looked at it, and said.
Snowy owls, vultures and other birds descend from time to time to catch lemmings, bite them to death, and continue to catch them.
The boy's dad went to the living room to make a phone call. After more than 20 minutes, Martinez and his family drove a tractor to bring hay and sprinkle it on the snow to feed the lemmings.
After a while, Old John waved his hand from afar.
Han Xuan put on cold protection tools, opened the door and went out to see what was going on, there were about more than 4,000 lemmings gathered together, all old rats and young mice, and some of the coat color changed from gray and black to orange red, which is not a good protective color in winter.
"They don't eat, they don't eat when they put them in front of them. ”
Old John said. Not far in front of him, a lemming could not stand the cold and fell into the snow.
Han Xuan guessed something.
Yesterday it was not normal for them to run out of their burrows, and today there are even more of them, and they do not run away from predators......
Maybe they're preparing to kill themselves!
Lemmings' nature tells them that they won't survive this winter, so they're ready to sacrifice themselves to create a living space for their offspring.
Squat down and grab a handful of alfalfa hay and place it next to the mouth of a lemming. Its small eyes stared at Han Xuan, and it opened its mouth to reveal its two front teeth. The breath from his nose was faint, and his paws were red from the cold.
The whole body was curled into a ball, and there was no thought of returning to the still warm cave, and he pushed away the food brought to him with his paws, closed his eyes, and soon stopped moving.
One by one, the lemmings fell.
They were going to die on the snow. But it feels like there's something here that attracts them.
Now that I found it, it was like a pilgrimage, all facing Han Xuan.
There had been lemmings on nearby ranches, and John Sr. and the other cowboys knew what the rats were up to.
Nothing came out except the sound of breathing. Silence looked at the lemmings.
Han Xuan could feel that they were bent on dying, even if they had food now, next year their offspring would die of lack of food due to overbreeding.
Living in snowy mountain pastures makes these lemmings more intelligent, and their nature tells them that they should die, or the whole population will suffer.
The thin layer of fat can't withstand the temperature, and they're tragically affirming their rat life.
Fell into the snow, then closed his eyes, consciousness was still there, but he couldn't move, and then even that trace of consciousness dissipated and turned into an ice sculpture.
For the sake of an adequate food supply, the old and young lemmings will be rejected by the young and strong, so they can only end their rat life in this way.
Han Xuan wasn't sure if the corners of the lemmings' eyes in front of him were tears, they shouldn't be crying, but he wanted to cry himself.
If lemmings are forced to eat, perhaps they will listen to them.
However, Han Xuan knew that if so many lemmings multiplied in the spring, not only the snow-capped mountain pastures, but also other places around them would also suffer from rat plagues, and they would still have to be exterminated at that time.
Since the beginning of civilization, man has been separated from animals and has stood on the opposite side of animals, competing for space with each other.
Lemming.
Like a passenger pigeon, it likes to wander around and migrate.
It seems that the poems and distant places that people like have a bit of poetry in the name alone.
These little ones, who are usually timid and fearful, are now not afraid of death.
The passenger pigeon, which once roamed the entire North American continent, now only dares to stay in the snow-capped mountain pastures and has its own habitat.
The genetic fragments left by their ancestors told them that if they went out, they would die, and that they should not run around.
It's hard to watch these little furry creatures die, even if they're just mice.
Pooh and Obama went out, their eyes blank, not understanding what they were doing, shouldn't they go to a warmer place
Without any selfish desires, Han Xuan ran home and got the camera out, at least he had to let others know the greatness of the lemming.
A little lemming opened its eyes to look at the camera, and with curiosity, grinned and showed its front teeth, and its mouth was like a bun face, as if smiling, and took a few steps towards him.
For half an hour, the lemmings were almost more than half down, some of their positions remained the same, but they were dead.
Han Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, reached out and touched the little guy in front of him, who was not yet an adult, and said, "Enough, so much is enough, stop and go eat!"
The tone cannot be refused!
The little lemming looked at his companions and did not move.
Seeing the food stretched out in front of him again, he was hungry, so he opened his mouth and took a small bite, but he didn't swallow it
There were more than 4,000 lemmings, not one of them alive, lying on their stomachs in the white snow, sleeping peacefully.
Even so, the carnivores did not spare them, tearing open and eating the corpses while they were still freezing.
Father Han waved his hand to drive away these birds, but to no avail, and said to Gabriel with a frown: "Don't hit, shoot a few shots to scare them away." ”
The next second the sound of gunfire rang out through the snowfield, startling the birds, and the lemmings touched the softest corners of Gabriel's heart, and he emptied the entire magazine before stopping.
John Sr. and Martinez take off their hats, don't think that cowboys who sell cattle for a living are ruthless, they respect nature more than anyone else.
"Find a place to bury these lemmings, Jones, Anderson, put the grass away and put it at the mouth of the rest of the lemmings.
Next year is sure to be a good year, and they know that their population will increase."
Han Xuan said solemnly.
A white expanse between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, a little wind blew and snowflakes fluttered over the lemmings.
The cowboys carefully picked them up, put them in the tractor, and found a place to bury them (to be continued.) )
PS: Ps: Something happened yesterday, and the third one didn't work out, sorry sorry!
