After running southeast along the sandy land at the foot of the mountain, the entire canyon basin appeared in front of you, and the Belik Lake under the cliff at the foot of the mountain in the distance was like a mysterious sapphire set in the mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Finally arrived at the Lake Belik area.

The heart that had been hanging for a long time was finally completely relaxed, and Dekang took Baoyue to walk slowly, carefully observing the terrain here.

The Haxia River flows quietly in the middle of the basin, and countless streams flow down from the Kunlun and Alka Mountains on both sides into the river, forming a vast area of sand and swamp.

The Haxia River continued to flow through Lake Belik for a while, then turned south into a large bay, facing the lake that flowed from the Whale Lake, each running southward, and finally disappeared into the lofty valley of the Kunlun Mountains.

Along the way, the sky gradually darkened, and the night fog carried a slight chill.

Dekang dug a pit in the sand at the foot of the mountain, pulled some weeds from the small grass mounds and spread them in it, and made a simple nest for the night.

Encountering this kind of novelty, Baoyue is very energetic.

Dekang ploughed the soil and she followed the side to dig around, making her covered in sand and dust, Dekang pulled the weeds, she got into the small grass mound and picked it up, and the two grass mounds drilled down, and Baoyue became a straw cub, sticking with dead grass leaves from head to tail.

When she was done, she looked at Dekang expectantly with her little face, hoping to be praised.

Baoyue got her wish.

After a day of running around, the two of them soon fell asleep, and at night Dekang was awakened by a strange movement, and listened attentively, the sound came from the east bank, he gently put down Baoyue, tiptoed east, and walked slowly after a hundred steps.

After walking some way to the east, Dekang gradually approached the beach of the Haxia River in the middle of the basin, and without warning, his tail was straight and his back hair stood up: 'There is a situation! ’

Dekang stopped vigilantly, lowered his body and slowly crawled forward.

Climbing up a small sand dune, more than two or three hundred steps ahead were a dozen antelopes, standing on the edge of the swamp staring at the direction where Dekang had appeared, their limbs moving nervously.

As soon as the eyes of the two sides met, the antelopes pulled their legs and ran away.

The fat sheep in front of him made his blood boil, and Dekang jumped down from the sand dunes and rushed towards the herd of antelopes, but no matter how hard he ran, the fat antelope walked briskly and farther away from him.

The leading antelope kept jumping high as it ran, and I saw that his forelimbs were folded and his hind limbs were straight, constantly drawing exaggerated arcs in the air.

This bastard is showing off his physical prowess and running ability, and he is simply mocking his brother. Dekang had fire in his eyes

After a futile run, Dekang had to give up the pursuit, gasping for breath and standing in place as the fat sheep ran across the sand dunes in front of him and gradually disappeared from view; For a moment, the surrounding ground immediately fell silent, as if the scene had never happened.

Dekang had no choice but to go back in frustration: "Such a good opportunity was put in front of me, but he wasted it hastily. ’

In terms of sprint speed alone, there is no one in Altyn who can compare to the antelope, and they are still long-distance runners, but the delicious food that can be delivered to the door slipped away in front of his eyes, and Dekang was not reconciled.

'Fuck! You can't make the simple mistake of staying upwind of the antelope herd, it's no different from ventilating them. The more Dekang thought about it, the more depressed he became.

Back in the bunker, Baoyue was still sleeping in a ball.

Dekang had long since lost his sleep, lying beside Baoyue in a daze, looking at the dark night sky, his mind could not be suppressed: "Grandma said that the shooting is a conspiracy against our family, a conspiracy of human beings against us? What else does Grandma know that she didn't have time to tell me; Where did these damn villains go in other cars, just themselves and Baoyue, they have no reason to divide their troops? Could it be 。。。。。。 Are these villains still hunting down other wolves? ’

'Altyn has come to another pack of wolves, but we don't know anything!' What do they want to do? Thinking of this, Dekang couldn't help but feel creepy.

He looked back behind him, the shadows of the Argo Mountains spread across the sand, like a huge wilderness monster, ready to devour all animals and plants.

Dekang got up and ran quickly in the nearby sand, venting his fears.

I don't know how many laps I ran back and forth, my mood gradually stabilized, and there was a cry in my ears, Dekang stopped, and looked sideways to see Baoyue standing in front of the sand pit, her body shrunk into a ball, and she was looking at herself crying in horror.

Dekang didn't care about sweating profusely, and ran forward to hug Baoyue: "Don't be afraid. There's a second brother here."

Baoyue struggled to raise her teary-eyed little face: "Baoyue is afraid." The second brother is running so crazy. ”

"Second brother is full of energy, try how fast and how long you can run." Dekang said to her lightly. Then he told her about the flock of antelopes that he had just taken away.

Baoyue grabbed Dekang's ears: "So that's the case." I was scared to death just now, and I thought the second brother was crazy. ”

She rolled her little eyes around, frowned and asked, "Are the antelopes really faster than the second brother?" After that, the second brother won't be able to eat antelope meat. ”

Dekang put her down and lay down himself: "On the earth, it's not that anyone who runs fast is powerful. No matter how fast the antelope runs, the second brother also has a way to catch them, of course, if the second brother goes to catch it alone, it will take a lot of days and nights, and when you are older, the two of us can easily eat the fat antelope meat. ”

As soon as she heard that she could help her second brother do things, Bao Yue jumped up happily: "Bao Yue is going to grow up now and go hunting with the second brother." Catch something delicious. ”

Dekang looked at her and was silent: "Only by surviving this winter can you survive and help your second brother do things." ’

After speaking, Dekang hugged Baoyue and squinted for a while, and before he knew it, the sky turned white.

Dekang set off with Baoyue on his back and ran towards Lake Belik.

After running for most of the day, wading through countless streams that flow along the mountain into the Haxia River, Lake Beylik finally turned from a small puddle into an unfathomable and mysterious lake.

Lake Beylik has a north-south water potential.

The snow-capped mountain stream in the west of the lake flows into the south end of the lake along a wide shallow river, while the stream in the east of the lake forms a large swamp at the north end of the east bank and flows into the lake. The northwest section of the lake is close to the mountain, and from a distance, the lake seems to emerge from the bottom of the mountain, and the blue blackening of the lake near the mountain adds to the mystery of Belik Lake; There are two outlets on the south shore of the lake, forming two seasonal rivers that meander in the canyon basin to form a swampy area that disappears into the distant sand.

Dekang has no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery for the time being, and the day and night are urgent.

After a short rest, Dekang climbed the highlands of Huxi to check the nearby terrain, and finally chose to make a hole in the dry sandy land not far from Huxi, near the foot of the mountain.

After running around the base of the mountain twice, I saw a huge rock nesting in the sand at the base of the mountain, most likely rolled down from a previous landslide.

It is really a godsend, digging sand holes around the rocks can avoid the wind and snow, preventing the cave entrance from being buried by heavy snow, Dekang can jump on the rocks and observe the surrounding movements, choose the best hunting opportunities, and also have the advantage of helping Baoyue avoid the sneak attack of the flying eagle.

There are also quite a few rat holes in the sand, and these pesky little peeks seem to be everywhere.

Dekang chose a rat hole closest to the rock, with an exit next to a clump of sedges, as a base point for the hole.

Walking around the entrance of the cave, at the other two exits of the mouse hole, a burst of sand was dug up, and the hole was buried, and two large stones were taken in his mouth to block it; Then start digging along the mouse hole next to the sedge bushes, the sand on the surface is very soft, the front paw planing, the back paw sweeping, and soon digging into a position.

At this time, Dekang paused the digging, and his body squeezed back and forth on both sides of the cave wall to make the soft sand walls on both sides firm and strong, and would not collapse easily, and then the body arched up little by little, slowly squeezing the top of the cave, so that the top was as firm as possible.

Ever since my head got into the sand hole, I kept hearing the rats running back and forth in the depths of the cave, squeaking... Chirping... With each digging of his own, the frightened rats let out louder and sharper cries.

Baoyue naturally won't be idle, she is behind her indiscriminately pulling the sand that Dekang swept out, hearing the screams of rats, she leans into the hole and smacks inside... Ho... A few screams threaten the little mouse.

Although the rats dug their holes with some twists and turns, they were naturally not worth mentioning to the wolf clan, and the hiding holes to be dug were enough to accommodate these small twists and turns.

When Dekang dug diagonally down to the two halves, the rat hole in front of him became straight, and a large rat could be clearly seen staring at him with wide eyes and horror.

His whole body was twitching, and after glancing at Dekang, the mouse turned around and gouged the sand wall behind him, and after a few cuts, it scurried back and forth in the small space at great speed.

Dekang turned his head sideways and stretched out his right front paw to catch the mouse, but after a few pulls, he couldn't reach it, and the scream of the mouse almost collapsed the hole.

The hardest part of the hole is not the claws, but the nose, which is filled with sand and dust, and Dekang sneezes from time to time, at this time, although he is only one step away from the fat mouse, he still has to exit the hole to breathe a few breaths of fresh air and rest.

Crawling upside down, lying on the edge of the grass mound and taking a few deep breaths, Dekang began to clean up the sand accumulated at the entrance of the cave, and pulled it evenly around.

Seeing the second brother withdrawing, Baoyue didn't come up to pester him, and swooped into the cave after turning around the entrance of the cave.

In the blink of an eye, there was a rat's scream and Baoyue's intimidating sound from the cave, and after a while, the rat's scream became more and more rapid, and Baoyue was strangely silent.

Dekang climbed into the cave to see what was going on: Baoyue was actually digging sand.

She dug into the small mouse hole at the bottom of the big hole, and from time to time her hind limbs pulled back the sand that had been dug out, and she did it very seriously, and when she saw it, half of her body had already been drilled into it.

Dekang quietly exited the cave, full of joy: "Baoyue will help me with the work!" ’

It didn't take long for the miserable screams of rats to come from the cave, and Baoyue ran to Dekang with the fat rat that was still struggling in her mouth, and dangled in front of Dekang like a treasure.

"Baoyue is really capable。。。。。。" Dekang's words are not finished...

The dying and struggling big mouse took advantage of Baoyue's grinning stall, twisted around and broke free of Baoyue's small front teeth, got up and ran wildly the moment it fell to the ground, and rushed out.

Baoyue watched in amazement as the fat rat ran away, completely forgetting to step forward to arrest him.

'Damn. Dekang hurriedly pounced, but it was still a little too late, and his front paws landed behind the tail of the fat mouse, and the fat mouse screamed again, and turned to continue to escape.

But there was no hole near him to escape, and this little trick had the same result for Dekang, who exerted his strength on all fours, turned and chased after him, and two or three of them rose and fell to pounce on the fat mouse, and his right front paw broke his neck.

Baoyue caught up, biting the fat mouse with hatred, falling the sand, circling around the dead mouse, and roaring with his mouth... Ho ... and scratched with his claws a few times from time to time, until the fat rat was made bloody and unrecognizable.

After finishing the matter, he ran to Dekang aggrievedly, raised his face and pursed his small mouth without saying a word.

Dekang hugged her and touched her little head: "Baoyue." Remember. The first thing we do when we catch any prey is to bite off his neck, and the dead prey is our delicacy. ”

After swallowing the fat rat and taking Baoyue to the stream at the foot of the mountain to drink some water, Dekang prepared to go into the hole and continue digging.

Baoyue rushed into the cave in front, and slipped to the bottom of the cave and beckoned to Dekang: "Second brother, come and see." There's so much stuff here! ”

Dekang put his head into the small hole dug by Baoyue to see what was going on, but his shoulder was stuck outside, so he had to obediently withdraw and honestly dig up the sand of this half of his body, thanks to the help of Baoyue in front, it was easy to dig up the remaining space.

Looking at the place where the fat rat in front of him hides and sleeps every day, Dekang couldn't help but be surprised.

On the left side of the hiding room is the winter grain storage room for fat rats: all kinds of grass seeds, grass roots, grass stalks, small wild fruits, jerky, broken bones, broken eggshells, and feathers, which are crammed into a space the size of Dekang's two heads.

No wonder Baoyue offered a treasure in front of him.

Dekang couldn't help but mutter, "It's a little sample. It's really going to be a toss, where to get so many things! No wonder it grows so fat. ’

After kissing a few mouthfuls, he sent out a proud Baoyue, and Dekang turned his head to dig to the lower right.

As the cave extended downward, gradually, the sand layer became compact and hard, and it could only be planed little by little, little by little, even so, the front paws still felt more and more pain when digging, and when he had to do so, Dekang climbed out of the hole and fell down, climbed in and used the back grasp to plane for a while.

After a few back and forth, his whole body was hot and his limbs were sore, so Dekang had to withdraw, lie down at the entrance of the cave and gasp for breath, and rest for a while.

At this time, Baoyue would squat beside her obediently, pat off the dust from the second brother's front paws, and lick it gently with her little tongue.

I don't know how Baoyue understands that the second brother is making a hole for her for the winter, she didn't ask, and Dekang didn't say it, but he really felt this: Baoyue didn't play as before, when she was digging by herself, she either helped pull the sand or squatted at the entrance of the cave, and when she came out of the hole to rest, she helped him pat the dust and massage.

Maybe it's her little body that feels the cold coming.

More than a day and night passed, and as the hole went deeper, I felt more and more that the heat in the hole was unbearable, so the time for digging was gradually shortening, and the time for resting was getting longer and longer.

When he turned the corner and had four or five positions, the sand layer was so hard that he could no longer plane, so Dekang had to plane the two sides of the bottom of the cave and the top of the cave wider, so that he and Baoyue could lie down comfortably and sleep.

After doing this with the last bit of energy, Dekang felt like he was about to collapse.

Dragging his tired body out of the cave, he took a big breath of fresh air, and thought to himself: 'I am tired of digging holes that are several times longer than my body.' How did those rats dig burrows dozens or hundreds of times longer than themselves? ’

Baoyue gave Dekang another massage, and then ran into the cave to check the progress, and after a while she crawled out happily: "Second brother." Is the cave dug? Are we going to stay here forever? ”

"Baoyue. It's going to snow soon, and it's going to be very cold and cold, and the snow will be so thick under the next body, and from now on the second brother will have to catch a lot of prey, and then we will nest in the hole and sleep warmly; We will stay here this winter, and when the earth starts to warm up and the snow melts, we will go around again. Dekang lovingly touched Baoyue's little head.

The end of the cave is very easy, just pull some dead grass and lay it at the bottom of the cave.

Baoyue worked harder than Dekang, carrying weeds in and out non-stop, from the small grass mound to the mouth of the cave to the bottom of the cave, all the way was the dead grass she fell, and there were few that really reached the bottom of the cave.

At this time, the sand was full of dead grass, and soon they laid a thick layer of bedding, and finally Dekang spread the tracking dog's fur on the dry grass mat, and it was done.

Watching Baoyue happily jump and roll on her fur, she didn't know that despite building a new nest, the cold had just begun to test the little wolf cub.

He took a nap at the entrance of the cave, and when he woke up it was dusk, and the wind whined and whined across the earth, and Dekang smelled the chill in the air.

It is only two or three days and nights at most, and the snowflakes will fall.

It is imperative to hurry up and catch the prey, and now is far from the time to relax.

Dekang got up to pee on the edge of the boulder, rubbed his body against the rock wall, leaving a strong warning smell, and crawled into the cave when he was done, waking up Baoyue who was sleeping soundly, and she headed east with sleepy eyes on her back.
