Chapter 16: Saving the Cubs on the Way Home (Asking for Push)

Walking for more than an hour from the garden, I crossed the mountains and mountains to reach the Mushan River in the town again, and I also felt that the road traffic situation today is very different from that of later generations. But even so, the villagers' enthusiasm for the market is still high.

Especially for the children in the village, what they look forward to most every week is to go to the market with their parents. This time, when I came to Mushanhe in the town, I didn't have much to think about. Head straight to the vendor-filled bazaar and start your own supplies.

Although there is space to store materials in large quantities and for a long time, in the era when food stamps have not been abolished, large quantities of refined grain are purchased, and Mushanhe is also worried about being targeted. Therefore, when he buys food without tickets, he buys it in small quantities and spread it out in large amounts.

The things I bought were put directly in the basket behind me like other villagers who rushed to the market. This kind of basket that can carry a lot of materials is also a must-have household life item for villagers. Picking mushrooms, digging wild vegetables, and carrying baskets are all very useful.

Finding a stall selling fish, looking at the dazzling array of freshwater fish, Mu Shanhe was also extremely emotional. It is said that the Northeast is rich in resources, and now that I think about it, this is really the case. There are so many wild fish that after a few years, they are really rare.

"There are fish fish, wait to buy a few and try them. Three flowers, five Luo, eighteen sons, and seventy-two miscellaneous fish. At present, these fish can be tasted, and in a few years, even if you have the money to try it, you may not be able to eat pure wild! ”

In the eyes of many inland people, the Northeast still seems to be a place where 'roe deer scoops fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot'. But in fact, this situation is decreasing now, and no amount of resources can withstand the perennial consumption!

Thinking of this, Mu Shanhe secretly smiled bitterly: "What are you doing so much?" Hurry up and buy fish, in addition to trying fresh for yourself, but also for the injured fox, buy more cheap small trash fish. It's expensive, I can't afford it! ”

Even if you don't have to worry about money now, Mu Shanhe still insists that what should be spent must be spent, and what should be thrifty must be saved. In addition to buying cheap fresh small trash fish for the fox, Daqing, a loyal partner, prepared pig bones.

Every time you change places, the materials that were previously placed in the back basket will be transferred to the space. But in the eyes of the other villagers, he was a young man who went to the market alone. And there are really not many people in the town who know him.

Looking at the crowded market, Mushanhe also knows that this is the busiest time of the week in the town. Although there are usually villagers who come to the town, the supplies that can be purchased are still not as large as those on market days.

When it comes to the annual joint holiday, the scene of the market is a shock!

"There's no hurry, there's a chance to experience it. The things were almost bought, and it was time to go back. ”

Considering that there are foxes in the camp that only need his care, Mu Shanhe, who has purchased supplies, also plans to return to the garden. With only two legs, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

At this stage, although Mushanhe bought a bicycle, only a short section of the road from the town to the garden can be ridden. In such road conditions, it is better to buy a bicycle than a horse. But after thinking about it, he still planned to give up.

It's not that he can't afford to buy a horse, but he thinks it's completely unnecessary to buy a horse and keep it in the mountains. Traveling on two legs is not a kind of exercise? At this stage, it is better to keep a low profile, and the days will be quieter.

Following the shortcut that saves time when coming, Makiyama walked alone on the mountain path. Just as he was about to arrive at Wangyunling, where the garden was located, a strange sound suddenly sounded in his ears.

Mu Shanhe, who heard the sound, immediately stopped his walking steps, looked at the direction from which the sound came, and said with a little doubt: "What kind of animal is this sound?" I always feel that I have heard of it. ”

Mushanhe, who was suspicious, quickly found the animal that made a strange noise from the bushes more than ten meters away from the roadside. Seeing Mushanhe suddenly appear, the two small animals seemed to be a little panicked, but they also showed a little overwhelmed.

In appearance, the two small animals resemble cats raised by villagers in Tunli. But Mu Shanhe knew that it was impossible for a domestic cat to run so far and come to the mountains to give birth to cubs. The two look similar, but there are big differences.

Guessing that these two little cubs might be some kind of animal cubs, Mu Shanhe looked around with some vigilance. Although this jungle was cut down in the early years. But for now, the shrubs and miscellaneous trees of the jungle are still relatively lush.

If the parents of the cubs are really nearby, then Mu Shanhe really has to be cautious. After all, the parents of this little thing also belong to the famous fierce beast in the forest area, a kind of existence that even roe deer and goats dare to hunt.

"No wonder it sounded familiar to me before, these two things must be bobcat cubs! But looking at their current appearance, they should have been hungry for a long time. Could it be that something happened to their parents? ”

The so-called lynx is the name given to it by the people of the forest area, and its scientific name is lynx. The other kind of cat and mountain god that the people in the forest area call is the more feared tiger.

Being named a 'cat' shows how heavy a lynx is among the many animals in the forest area!

From the size and state of the two shivering cubs, Mu Shanhe can probably judge that the two cubs should be full moon, but they are already about the same size as adult domestic cats. Just look at the grass where they nest, it shouldn't be a nest to hide.

Take out the chopper that you usually have when you go up the mountain, and search the nearby grass along the Mushan River. Not long after, a dead body was finally found in a pile of rubble.

After a closer look, Mu Shanhe said helplessly: "Alas, if this continues, my camp will become an animal shelter." Forget it, since you have encountered it, you can't really see death without saving it! ”

He turned around and put the two bobcat cubs, who should have been hungry for a long time, directly into the back basket. Returning to the rubble pile again, he dragged out the carcass of the lynx that had begun to decompose, dug a pit nearby, and buried the carcass in it.

Although he knew that the fur of the bobcat was also valuable in the wooded area. But in the face of a mother who desperately returned to the nest before he died, he really couldn't do anything to peel the skin and sell it for money. It is the wisest choice to let it settle in the ground.

After the burial was done, Mu Shanhe put the two cubs on the filled soil pit and said softly: "Remember here, when you grow up in the future, you must also remember who is buried here." From now on, you can mess with me! ”

The fox who had just been injured and pregnant with a cub two days ago has now adopted two more bobcat cubs who had lost a loved one, albeit with increased living expenses. But Mu Shanhe felt that he really couldn't do such a thing as not saving him when he saw death.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he first arrived at the garden and saw the oncoming Daqing, he suddenly became grinning and found the threat, Mu Shanhe realized that the forest hound and the lynx can be called mortal enemies!

Many hunters who raise dogs to hunt, in the process of hunting bobcats, the hounds are often counter-hunted by bobcats. As a head dog with rich hunting experience, how can Daqing not smell the bobcat?

"Okay, Daqing, they are still babies, they will live with us in the future, don't scare them!"

After appeasing Daqing, Mu Shanhe still put the two frightened and shivering bobcat cubs directly to Daqing's mouth to familiarize him with the smell. As a loyal hunting dog, Daqing was afraid of being dissatisfied, and he didn't dare to bite at this time.

But what made Mu Shanhe even more depressed was that when he planned to put the bobcat cubs in the wooden house where the fox was raised. The fox, who was still docile before, also exploded in an instant. Such a situation made Mu Shanhe feel helpless.

Touching the two cubs, Mu Shanhe also complained: "It seems that apart from me here, you are really not welcome!" ”

As a jungle tyrant, foxes are also one of the animals hunted by bobcats. Even if there are two cubs, they don't have any lethality. But for the fox with cubs, not directly pounced on them and bit them to death, which was already extremely restrained!
