Zhu Er agreed, got up, put on a coat, put on a hat, and left the east gate with Xia with a self-defense hoe. A small door was opened on the east side of the east courtyard, which was convenient for Dangdang to enter the mountain and go home. Zhu Er is not good to go to the main courtyard often, and most of the doors are through the east gate.

After they all went out, Zhu Er said again, "Big girl, wait." ”

He ran back and got a torch and a piece of flint and steel into his belt, and said, "Wild things are afraid of fire." ”

Xia Li nodded, and Zhu Er looked at Han Han, and his mind was very meticulous.

The two of them hurried in that direction. Although the rain was light, the mountain road was muddy and slippery, and they had to pull the branches of the trees next to them up the mountain.

Zhu Er said, "Big girl, this road is not easy to walk, I'll go around the mountainside, you wait at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Xia Li said stubbornly, "No, I have to find it myself." Uncle Zhu rest assured, I grew up at the foot of the mountain since I was a child, and I often climb the mountain, no hindrance. ”

As soon as I entered the mountain, I could faintly hear the howl of Dangdang, as if he was fighting with something.

Xia Li and Zhu Er glanced at each other and quickened their pace. Getting closer, the sound of the fight became more pronounced, and the roar of another wild creature could be heard.

Zhu Er stopped and said, "Big girl, that's the cry of a wild boar." I'll go up to help, but you still don't go up, it's dangerous. ”

Xia Li's footsteps did not stop, and said, "Don't be afraid, my archery skills are good, shoot it first before you get close." ”

Zhu Er listened, so he had to continue to move forward. Afraid that something would happen to Xia Li, he still walked in front of her.

Less than 100 meters away from that place, there was a huge boulder that was high up, and there were no trees to block it, Xia Li climbed up and looked up to see Dangdang and a wild boar fighting together.

Xia Li put his bow on the arrow and shouted loudly to it, "Dangdang, get out of the way." ”

When Dangdang heard this, he knew that his sister was going to release arrows, so he hurriedly flashed to the side. The boar was still stupidly looking at the voice, and an arrow had gone into its eye. It fell to the ground with a wild howl, and when it rushed up and bit its neck, it was bitten to death in a few bites.

Xia Li and Zhu Er ran closer, and Zhu Er found that there was a big bear blind sitting next to Dangdang, howling at them with an extremely terrifying expression. He was so frightened that he raised his hoe and threw it at the blind bear.

When Dangdang jumped up and pounced on Zhu Er, Zhu Er was unprepared and was knocked down. Although Dangdang didn't bite him, he pressed him down with his front hooves and barked at him.

Xia Li hurriedly said to Zhu Er, "Depending on the situation, this black bear is about to give birth, and it should be protecting him." He said to Dangdang again, "Okay, let go, Uncle Zhu is afraid that you are in danger, so I will help you." ”

When Dangdang let go of Zhu Er, he rubbed Xia Li's leg with his head, barked at the black bear a few more times, and whimpered. Meaning, please, help it, it's my friend.

The black bear sat on the ground and looked at Xia Li, with tears, fear, and pleading in his eyes, and whined in a low voice.

Xia Li knew that it was not afraid of its own death, it was afraid that it would die before giving birth to a baby.

Whether it is a human or an animal, motherly love is great.

Xia Li knew how to deal with animals very well, she asked Zhu Er to put down the hoe and stay away, while she put down the bow and arrow, raised her hands, squatted down a foot away from it and said, "Don't worry, we won't hurt you." ”

The black bear can't understand human words, but he can understand the tenderness in Xia Li's eyes, and he can hear the softness of her voice, and he won't hurt himself from her movements, so he can rest assured and concentrate on production.

It's getting dark. In the distance, there seemed to be the howl of wild animals.

Zhu Er put the torch in the crack of the stone and lit it, the rain was very thin, and the torch was still not so bright, jumping and jumping, looking like a faint ghost fire from a distance.

The two of them and a dog formed an encirclement to surround the black bear in the middle, Xia Li and Zhu Er took their respective weapons and looked outward, and when Dang also stood with his ears and stared at his eyes, there was a little wind and grass is a burst of barking.

About half an hour later, the black bear suddenly howled and finally gave birth to a cub.

Xia Li looked back, it was so small, not much bigger than her hand, hairless, with her eyes closed, and her voice like a kitten.

She knows that the big black bear, like the national treasure panda, is the mother's big body, and the baby she gave birth to is very small. Of course, black bears still give birth to babies more than giant pandas.

Xia Li was very worried, such a small thing, born on a rainy day, could it be fed?

The black bear ignored the baby on the ground and continued to open its mouth and whisper.

It should have one or more in its belly, and the black bear can give birth to up to four at a time.

Xia Li squinted at the little thing on the ground, lying on the wet dead grass, countless rains hit its body, helpless. No matter how pitiful it was, Xia Li didn't dare to approach it

About half an hour later, the black bear howled again and gave birth to a second baby. This baby is a little smaller than the first baby, and he didn't scream, and he didn't look like the first healthy.

The black bear sat up, looked at the two babies a few times, and then took the first baby into his mouth and spit it into his arms.

It never looked at the second child again, and its eyes were full of the baby in its arms.

Xia Li knew that it was already raw. smiled, "Mama Bear, congratulations, you have given birth to twins." ”

Mother Bear fully felt Xia Li's kindness, and stuck out her tongue at her and smiled, Xia Li just took that expression of her as a smile.

Xia Li guessed that it might have to give up on the child on the ground. Her heart ached, and she looked at the little thing that was still lying on the dead grass on the ground. There was not a single hair, and the rain dripped on its body, making it feel even colder, and its body shrank even more. It didn't open its eyes, its mouth was half-open, it didn't scream, it just stretched out its little pink tongue.

Xia Li couldn't fully guess Mother Bear's intentions, so he didn't dare to hug the poor little one.

The mother bear rested for more than a quarter of an hour, picked up the bear in her arms with her mouth, got up and walked up the mountain. It should be looking for a cave to raise a baby, and it can only take one child away, so it chooses the healthiest.

It's literally abandoning another unhealthy bear! Animals also understand survival of the fittest. The reality is so cruel.

The mother bear walked more than 20 meters away, stopped and looked back at Dangdang, Xia Li and Zhu Er, but still didn't look at the little bear on the ground. Then he turned around and walked away, disappearing into the forest.

Seeing that it was gone, Zhu Er wiped the rain on his face and said, "Big girl, let's go down the mountain, it's already dark." ”

Xia Li looked down at the little black bear on the ground, lying alone on the ground. It may also feel that it has been abandoned by its mother, and it groans slightly.

It's alive.

Xia Li thought of the scene when she saved Xia Ju in the first place, and she couldn't bear to leave like this. Sometimes, a single act of kindness can save a life.

Dangdang couldn't bear it, and it arched Xia Li's leg with its head.

Xia Li walked over and squatted down, held the little black bear in his hand and said, "I'll take you home." If you survive, when you grow up, I will let you go back to the mountains and go to your mother. If you can't survive...... Alas! ”
