331. Losing the face of the lynx (thank you)
In the evening, Bird took the tiger and leopard to hunt, and the two little ones finally got rid of their shackles, thinking that they had become fierce tigers, and were arrogant and arrogant on the mountainside.
They caught up with a snowshoe hare and then a bunch of goofy wild turkeys, and finally got their hands dirty.
Qin Shiou took Winnie to walk upstream along the river, and from time to time there were tired birds flying overhead with the cry of the tired birds, and the atmosphere on the mountain was quiet.
On a river beach, two one-meter-long lambs are drinking with their heads down. The two lambs had short limbs, long whiskers similar to those of goats under their jaws, and were covered in a dense layer of long white hair, and looked fat and fat, but they were nimble and sagile and jumped away after drinking water.
When the two white lambs left, Winnie sighed: "The people in the farewell town are really kind, and there are still snow sheep on the mountains here, which is amazing." ”
The snow goat is a unique beast in North America, mainly living in the Rocky Mountains, and looks like a goat, but no specific answer has been given as to the specific ownership of its species.
Later, from the Rocky Mountains, the indigenous people of North America introduced it to Montana in the United States and British Columbia in Canada, and gradually spread.
Although the range of habitats has expanded, the number of beasts of this species has been decreasing, and the reason for this is that its meat is so perfect that it is coveted by humans.
The reason why the meat quality of the snow sheep is so perfect is mainly related to their movement, they are good at climbing and jumping between the cliffs, as long as there is a place to tread, no matter how steep the cliff can go up and down lightly, so that they naturally condense the muscles of extra strength.
By the 80s of the last century, the snow sheep were almost extinct due to overfishing, under the auspices of US President Richard Nixon. The United States and Canada jointly launched a campaign to save the snow sheep, so that the snow sheep did not follow in the footsteps of the snow wolf and suffered genocide.
To this day, snow goats remain a protected species that is prohibited from trade and hunting in North America, and there is even a private organization in the Rocky Mountains called the Goat International Order that raises money to study and manage snow goats.
But where there is profit, there is evil. Poaching has been banned repeatedly, and in this case, the townspeople of Farewell Town did not come to the mountains to hunt snow sheep for sale, and their self-control can indeed be called remarkable.
Qin Shiou saw snow sheep for the first time, and they were not as beautiful as in the documentary, and their fur was a little yellow. It is also inevitable that they will not bathe with soap, and their fur will naturally turn gray and yellow when it is stained with dust and tree sap.
However, in this quiet time, these primitive species are seen. It really makes people feel good both physically and mentally.
Qin Shiou turned on the high-power walkie-talkie, tuned to the Bird channel, and said: "There may be snow sheep around, be optimistic about tigers and leopards, don't let them hurt those stupid guys." ”
"Roger, they're very good." Bird replied.
Sitting by the river, Winnie took off her boots and socks to reveal her little jade feet in the water, and quickly shrunk her legs as soon as she reached in. Giggle and laugh, "The water is cold. ”
Qin Shiou also wanted to take off his shoes to try, but Winnie stopped him and said, "Forget it, we will use the water from the river to cook and eat later." We're upstream now. ”
Hearing this, Qin Shiou was dumbfounded, and said, "Since you know that we are going to use the water in this river to cook and eat, then why are you still washing your feet?" ”
Winnie tilted her head and said, "Are you sick?" ”
Qin Shiou shook his head, and Winnie nodded: "Very good, you won't be disgusting, they won't know." Isn't that what it takes? ”
"Oh, you're so domineering. How come I didn't notice this when I pursued you before? ”
"Do you regret it now?"
"It's a little bit, can I return it? I felt like I was hurt. ”
"Nope. It's late, you have used the goods and still want to return them? ”
"Then I'll give the seller a bad review."
"I hope my grumpy seller won't beat you to death."
The two of them are arguing while enjoying the surrounding scenery, except for the trickling of the river is the sound of the two talking, which really has an atmosphere of 'no one in the empty mountain, but the sound of birds'.
As the sun was about to set, the two returned to camp, by which time Nelson had set up two tents, two spacious military tents, instead of the small grave bags that tourists rented.
Bird disposed of the wild animals he hunted by the river, and the wild turkeys became the main meal, and these turkeys were large, nearly a meter long, and plucked feathers were also behemoths.
The tiger and leopard grew bigger and bigger, and their hunting skills became more and more sophisticated, and this time they not only hunted wild turkeys, but also outflanked people's nests and got seven huge wild eggs.
Qin Shiou was going to scramble the eggs and eat them, but Bird looked at the firelight and said, "It's a pity to eat it now, this is a fertilized egg, and if you go back to the right conditions, you can hatch into a small turkey." ”
As soon as she heard this, Winnie suddenly became happy, took Qin Shiou's hand and said, "Raise it, raise it, don't eat it." ”
If Bird didn't say the word 'fertilized egg', Qin Shiou still wanted to eat eggs, and when he said this, he directly lost his appetite. Sometimes he is helpless, the meaning of the word English is too direct, the hairy egg is the hairy egg, what is the fertilized egg.
Qin Shiou lost his appetite and waved his hand: "Okay, then take it back and raise it, and let those little hens hatch them." ”
Winnie happily took a few eggs, she also looked at the firelight, and after seeing the layers of blood-colored spider web-like embryonic tissue, she became happy, and she had to pull Qin Shiou to watch it together, but Qin Shiou was disgusted.
Helpless, Qin Shiou had no choice but to skewer the turkey and start roasting. Wild turkeys have less fat because they are more active, so they must be constantly greased when grilling, otherwise they will not taste as good as domestic turkeys.
Roasting turkey, Qin Shiou suddenly asked: "You see, there are a lot of wild things on this Kanbal Mountain, and there are a lot of wild turkeys, why do people in the town still go to the supermarket to buy turkeys on Thanksgiving?" You can't go up to the mountains to hunt by yourself. ”
Nelson laughed when he heard his question, but didn't speak, Qin Shiou asked again, Winnie said: "Nelson doesn't want to answer your low-level question, let me ask you a question, why don't people eat minced meat, have you heard of this allusion?" ”
Of course, Qin Shiou knew this allusion, and it was said that it was during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin. One year there was a famine, and the people starved to death without food. The news was quickly reported to the palace, and after listening to the minister's recital, Emperor Jin Hui was puzzled and asked: "The people are hungry and have no rice to eat, why don't they eat meat porridge (why not eat minced meat)?" ”
Qin Shiou showed an expression of sudden realization. But in fact, he did not find the answer from this allusion, and secretly asked Bird, who explained: "There are indeed wild turkeys in the mountains, but we also searched for an afternoon to find a few. If the people in the town want to eat turkey, they can go to the supermarket and buy half one for ten dollars, and if they work in the afternoon. You can change it to five turkeys. ”
Qin Shiou is embarrassed, it's really 'why don't the people eat minced meat', his idle eggs hurt here, are the ordinary people in the town also idle and bored every day and go up to the mountains to hunt?
This is one of the reasons why there are so many animals in the wild in Newfoundland, in addition to recreation. Ordinary people don't shoot these beasts for no reason. As for eating, if you want to eat, you can buy meat in the supermarket, so why risk being infected with parasites and inexplicable viruses to hunt?
Walking along the river before, Qin Shiou found some wild vegetables, which were common wild vegetables such as bracken, mountain celery, wild kale, wild vegetables, and wild leeks.
When autumn arrives, these wild vegetables begin to sprout and wither, so they are not as tender and delicious as in spring and summer, but they are boiled in a pot of soup to drink. The taste is also good.
The barbecue includes sausages, turkey, hares, ducks, and a few unknown wild birds, and a pressure cooker stewed with a delicious bromet brooch and vegetable soup, plus fried rice, burgers, and spaghetti brought from home. The four people who ate a dinner and the stupid cute people were also very happy.
At the end of the meal, Xiong Da suddenly looked into the woods on the side, and then the tiger and the leopard also didn't care about eating and got up.
Qin Shiou knew that a beast was approaching, so he grabbed the pulley bow beside him and turned his head to look, but after looking at it for a while, he didn't see any beasts appearing, so he nodded to Huzi.
Huzi cleverly trotted forward a few steps. Roared twice at the canopy of a pine tree.
Qin Shiou looked carefully, and then he could barely see a beast lying on the canopy. It looks like a big cat and has a faint money pattern on its body. His eyes were squinting so he couldn't see the green light, and he didn't have to look any further to know that it was a lynx.
Lynx is a relatively common species in the Canadian alpine coniferous forests, cautious and timid by nature, and they do not trust humans, because they were once one of the targets of human indiscriminate killing, and the main culprit is their beautiful fur.
After making sure that it was the lynx, the four of them continued to eat and chat, the lynx was not a threat to people, and they had not yet found out that the lynx had hurt people, especially now that they had not provoked the lynx.
At first, Qin Shiou thought that the lynx was attracted by the smell of roasted meat, and the roast turkey could not be eaten, so he picked a piece of fat and threw it under the tree. As a result, the lynx did not look at it, but remained quietly in the tree, like a big elegant cat.
Behind the squirrel Xiao Ming ate and ran out, the elegant big cat suddenly stood up from the canopy, staring at Xiao Ming with blazing eyes.
Qin Shiou understood now, this guy was attracted by a squirrel, a squirrel is one of the food of lynx, but they mainly live on hares, and squirrels are just a non-staple food.
Xiao Ming is notoriously stupid and bold, when the tiger leopard was still small, it dared to bully the two guys, you must know that even if the tiger leopard was still small at that time, it would not be much smaller than this lynx, and the growth space was there.
Ignoring the lynx's salivating gaze, Xiao Ming dragged his big tail and ran under the tree.
The lynx was suddenly happy, ignoring the threat of Qin Shiou and the others, it jumped off the tree and pounced on Xiao Ming, and then pounced on the air. Xiao Ming seems to have become a lightning marten, the speed between advance and retreat is fast, jumping up and down the tree and jumping up and down, the lynx chased it several times, but it couldn't catch up with Xiao Ming.
This discovery made the lynx unprecedentedly depressed, and it was too lazy to chase it anymore, so it went under the tree and picked up the chicken nuggets that Qin Shiou had thrown at the beginning, climbed up the tree and ate them.
Qin Shiou and his gang were stunned when they watched by the campfire, should they say that Xiao Ming is awesome, or is this lynx too nesty?
In the end, when the lynx spinelessly went to eat the chicken nuggets that he hadn't seen before, Qin Shiou and the others came to a conclusion: It's really embarrassing for the lynx, this guy is such a wretch!
Don't pay attention to the lynx, don't worry about Xiao Ming, the four of them gathered around the bonfire basking in the moonlight, Winie said, "Otherwise, let's take turns singing, right?" ”
&&&&&&Is it okay for everyone to take turns to give a monthly pass? Haha, just kidding, thank you very much brothers and sisters, we actually rushed to the top three of the urban classification monthly pass, it's really amazing, bullet shell thank you, thank you! (To be continued)
