After the Spring Festival, the weather gradually warms up, and some willow trees on both sides of the railway begin to spit out green shoots, and the nature of the southwest of the motherland is about to wake up.

Duan Pingsi listened to the conversation between Professor A and Zhang Yu while enjoying the scenery outside the window, and the journey was not so boring.

When the three of them arrived in Lijiang, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was getting dark, and the lights were on, Duan Pingsi and the others had to find a homestay near the ancient city to stay for one night.

The journey was tiring, and they didn't say anything all night, and early the next morning, they took a minibus to the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Now that it is the off-season of tourism, and there are few tourists coming and going, Duan Pingsi and others quickly went through the special procedures for entering the mountain, and then walked to the mountain.

"Let's check the mountaineering equipment again, if it's not enough, you can add some now, and it will be more troublesome to think about it when you go far." Professor A, who took the lead in the front, turned to Duan Pingsi and said.

Zhang Yuxian said that there was no shortage of things and he could continue to move forward. Duan Pingsi sat on the stone and carefully examined it, after all, it was the first time he had climbed the snowy mountain, he was as careful as possible, and only after making sure that the ropes, oxygen cylinders, canes, and food were all in order, he said that he could move on.

As the altitude continues to rise, the temperature is getting lower and lower, but fortunately, Duan Pingsi and the others have been prepared for a long time, and they all wear thick down jackets, plus the heat generated by walking, they don't feel how cold.

In recent years, due to the popularity of tourism, millions of tourists have flocked to the Yulong Snow Mountain, resulting in serious environmental damage and rising snow lines.

"Look how terrible the destructive power of humanity is!" Professor Ah said angrily, pointing to some bushes and grass on the side of the path.

Duan Pingsi looked over, only to see that the shrubs and dead grass were full of colorful garbage, and some slightly thicker trunks were still engraved with horizontal and vertical characters, which was simply unbearable.

Zhang Yu said: "Now many people don't care about the environment too much, and the snow mountain holy land is still like this, not to mention the environment in the low-altitude area, which is really a pity and very infuriating!"

Duan Pingsi looked at the scarred snow-capped mountains, and didn't know how to take over the words of Professor A and Zhang Yu for a while, the development of human civilization for thousands of years has made great progress, but it has also brought a heavy burden to the environment, and even brought damage that can never be repaired, he doesn't know if if time goes back three thousand years, human beings will choose this path.

Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, although human beings lived a life of hunger, but at that time people were probably at ease, in addition to sleeping well after three meals a day, it seemed that they did not have to worry about oil prices and mortgages, and now, people live in high-rise buildings, on the surface of infinite scenery, but in fact they are worried all day long, is this progress or regression?

At this time, Duan Pingsi didn't know what the meaning of life was, and just wanted to make himself and his family live better, but it was extremely difficult to realize such a simple appeal.

He suddenly thought of the ancestor, and when this trip was over, he must ask the ancestor for his views on the meaning of life, the experience of a thousand-year-old man must be very exciting, and his understanding must be very deep!

"Squeak! Creak! ”

There were suddenly a few mouse cries in the snow, Duan Pingsi looked over and saw several fat gray squirrels biting a piece of blood-red lean meat, which surprised him, and hurriedly shouted forward:

"Professor A, Teacher Zhang, come and see, the gray squirrel is eating meat!"

Professor A and the two looked back, and they were immediately startled by the gray squirrel's behavior.

"Under normal circumstances, the gray squirrel eats nut food such as plant seeds, and it is the first time I have seen a gray squirrel that eats meat and meat!"

Zhang Yu said that he took a branch and tried to pick up the piece of meat, but a few gray squirrels were not afraid of people, and they bit the piece of meat and did not let go, just like wild dogs grabbing food.

After watching from the side for a while, Professor A shook his head and said, "There are many strange things this year, and it is not surprising that the gray squirrel is making meat, so let's continue to hurry." ”

After the humans left, the gray squirrels continued to bite the pieces of flesh, as if they were enchanted, and soon the pieces of meat were bitten apart, and the gray squirrels devoured them separately.

Then an even crazier appeared, a larger squirrel suddenly bit the neck of another smaller squirrel, only to hear a few screams of "squeak", and the little squirrel immediately kicked its legs and died.

After a moment's hesitation, the squirrels rushed up and began to bite the dead squirrels, and in a few minutes, the poor little squirrels were food for their companions.

However, the madness was far from over, when there was a sudden "squeak" in the middle of the squirrels, and one of the squirrels extended its sharp teeth towards the other smaller squirrel, and a few minutes later, the squirrel that was still eating rat meat became food for the other squirrels.

In this ice and snow, for some reason, a thrilling species massacre was staged, and the bloody scene was unprecedented.

In the end, it was a medium-sized gray squirrel with white hair on its head, and no one thought that this gray squirrel with a small body would become a survivor, because its victory did not depend on its size and physical strength, but on the same high intelligence as a human.

When the companions began to meet and kill, it quietly buried its body in the snow cave, and when the last triumphant gray squirrel was left on the battlefield, it quietly walked behind the victor and bit the victor's neck .......

"Squeak! Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak! ”

The "white-haired" gray squirrel sang a song of victory, and it walked with a determined step out of the blood of its companions, and a pair of dark eyes gurgled and swirled, announcing its existence between heaven and earth.

Duan Pingsi, Professor A and Zhang Yu "unfortunately" happened to miss this gray squirrel annexation battle, but they also saw a lot of bloodstained gray squirrel battlefields along the way.

Duan Pingsi couldn't help but ask, "How can there be blood everywhere?" ”

"Maybe some large animal was injured, but I didn't see the footprints, and I can't tell what kind of animal it is!" Professor A said thoughtfully.

Zhang Yu looked at the snow on the top of the mountain, and at the blood under his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.

The temperature is getting colder, the snow is getting thicker, this is already an area that is closed to tourists, there are no more easy trails, and a few people have to use experience to grope their way forward.

Those shocking gray squirrel battlefields continued towards a valley, and that was also the destination of Duan Pingsi and the others, and they didn't know what kind of scene would be waiting there.
